Hearing Song Zhong's words, everyone in the hall sucked in a breath of cold air. It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. It was as if the air had frozen.
One had to know that Song Zhong had just exchanged toasts with everyone. Moreover, how could Immortals not be able to hold their liquor? They could force out as much as they wanted with their magic power. They would not get drunk at all. Therefore, Song Zhong had clearly rejected Perfected Lord Ice Snow's good intentions!
Saying such words in front of the other Great Emperors and hundreds of subordinates in his territory was not just a matter of not giving him face. It was clearly a slap to his face!
After hearing Song Zhong's words, Perfected Lord Ice Snow's originally icy white face instantly turned as red as a cooked crab.
That was not giving him any face at all. The furious Perfected Lord Ice Snow said fiercely, "Nephew Song Zhong, your alcohol tolerance is obviously not low. I think it's not a problem for you to drink another cup. What do you think? "He said the last few words through gritted teeth. Obviously, he was giving Song Zhong an ultimatum.
Song Zhong was naturally not afraid of him. He laughed coldly and said, "If I say no, then no!"
After saying that, Song Zhong stood up without hesitation and said proudly, "That's all for today. I still have matters to attend to. Farewell!" After saying that, Song Zhong bowed to the surrounding people and left with his subordinates without looking back. It was obvious that he wanted to sever ties!
Perfected Lord Ice Snow was so angry that he almost went crazy when he saw how arrogant Song Zhong was. His hands trembled a few times, but he did not make a move in the end. If it was someone else, even if it was one of the Great Emperors present, who dared to not give him face, he would definitely have made a move.
But with regards to SongZhong, he was really full of misgivings. Not only because of the Chaos Giant Spirit Race behind him, but also because of Song Zhong's huge influence in the Heavenly Emperor's faction. One had to know that Song Zhong was not only the Jade Emperor's favorite, but he was also the Fire Lord's favorite general. The Fire Lord's favoritism could be seen from the fact that he had rewarded him several times.
If Frost Lord dared to bully Song Zhong while he was injured, one could imagine how the Jade Emperor's people would deal with him. After all, Fire Lord was Ice Monarch's superior. How could he dare to offend him?
At this moment, Perfected Lord Ice Snow was filled with regret. He should not have used his status to oppress Song Zhong.
And the surrounding people at this time also saw that between Song Zhong and that Madman Han, there was definitely an unresolvable deep hatred that could not be resolved. However, Perfected Ice Snow wanted to use his status to force Song Zhong to give up on this feud. He was clearly taking advantage of his seniority. If it were a Golden Immortal, he would probably be suppressed by Perfected Lord Ice Snow. However, Song Zhong had strength and influence. He was not afraid of him at all.
Song Zhong started to respect him because he was giving him face. However, this old man thought that he was easy to bully. In the end, he kicked an iron plate. It could only be said that he deserved it!
How could the banquet continue after such a thing happened? Everyone reluctantly drank a few more cups and hurriedly left. No one wanted to face an angry Perfected Lord Ice Snow at this time!
A good banquet of the Great Emperors of the Five Mountains ended up becoming a feud because of Perfected Lord Ice Snow's momentary confusion. From now on, Song Zhong and Perfected Lord Ice Snow would be enemies. There are only two possible outcomes. Either SongZhong kills Lunatic Han and takes his revenge, causing the reputation of the Ice Monarch to be greatly tarnished. Or, SongZhong is helpless and can only worry helplessly. In any case, the two of them had formed a huge grudge!
After leaving Ice Monarch's territory, Huang Jixiang asked curiously, "Boss, what feud do you have with that woman? So much so that you won't even give face to the Ice Monarch? "
"Hmph, speaking of which, it really pisses me off!" Song Zhong said with hatred, "It's like this!"
Song Zhong then told Huang Jixiang how Lunatic Han had tricked him, how he had set up a trap, and how he had trapped him to death.
Then, SongZhong said hatefully, "These b * st * rds, in order to kill me, they are really unscrupulous. Over ten million innocent mortals were used as tools by them to frame me. If I wasn't lucky, I would have turned into a pile of ashes long ago! This Madman Han treated me like this, how can I forgive her? "
"That's right!" Huang Jixiang said angrily, "I've never seen such a shameless thing. Big brother, why don't I find a chance to sneak in here and kill her!"
"No!" Song Zhong said hurriedly, "If you do that, it's equivalent to completely falling out with Perfected Lord Ice Snow!"
"If we fall out, then so be it. Who's afraid of this shameless old thing?" Huang Jixiang said indifferently.
"No, no, no!" Song Zhong shook his head and said, "Brother, we're not afraid of Perfected Lord Ice Snow. But the problem is, his identity is after all the Great Emperor of Zhong Yue. His subordinates are all from the Heavenly Court. If we kill his disciple for no reason, it's equivalent to becoming enemies with the Heavenly Court. At that time, if he reports us to the higher-ups, the Heavenly Court won't forgive us! "
"How can it be for no reason?" Huang Jixiang asked, puzzled. "Big brother, don't you have a huge grudge with her?"
"Those are the grudges of the mortal world. According to the rules of the Heavenly Court, after ascending, all ties with the mortal world are severed. No one can pursue personal grudges! " Song Zhong said helplessly, "So, if I don't have a valid reason, I can't do anything to that lunatic, unless I want to rebel!"
"Rebel? Isn't this a little too dangerous? "Huang Jixiang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Yes, it's too dangerous. So now we can only endure and wait for the right time!" Song Zhong sneered and said, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Lunatic Han won't die in a short time. As long as I know that she's with Perfected Lord Ice Snow, everything will be easy. I'll have my revenge one day!"
"Since big brother is so confident, I won't meddle. I hope big brother can have your revenge soon!" Huang Jixiang cupped his hands and bowed.
"Haha, don't worry. When I've recovered, I'll have fun with Perfected Lord Ice Snow!" Song Zhong sneered and said.
After that, Song Zhong and Huang Jixiang returned to Chen Tangguan safely and started their own lives again.
As the saying goes, time flies like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years had passed.
In the mortal world, a hundred years was a very long time, but in the Immortal World, it was simply nothing.
In the past hundred years, Song Zhong's Chen Tangguan had developed rapidly. With the indestructible defense of the city, the Demon Race had launched several surprise attacks, but all of them ended in failure. Other than leaving behind a sea of corpses, they couldn't even touch the edge of the city wall.
Under such circumstances, Chen Tangguan became the safest place in the Dragon Realm of the Four Seas. In addition, Song Zhong had taken out a huge amount of materials and exchanged for the Divine Thunder Flying Ship, making this place the most lively place in the Dragon Realm of the Four Seas. Not only had its population tripled, but its prosperity had also surpassed Ice Snow Lord's Ice Snow City for the first time, becoming the leader of the Dragon Realm of the Four Seas.
The current Chen Tangguan was really different from the past. High-level buildings in the city had been uprooted, and the previous Divine Thunder Tower had all been dismantled. It was simply useless. In order to accommodate more Immortals, Chen Tangguan had even had to expand several times, and the area was more than twice as large as before.
With a larger area, more people, more trade, and a large increase in tax revenue, it was several times more than before. Now, Song Zhong didn't need to invest anymore. He could just sit at home all day and make a lot of money every day!
Of course, the tax revenue of Chen Tangguan wasn't all of Song Zhong's income. In fact, it was only a small part of it. Song Zhong's biggest profit came from the production of his natal space and the sale of the Divine Thunder Flying Ship.
After a hundred years of growth, Song Zhong's natal space had expanded tenfold, reaching a radius of a million miles, almost the size of Chen Tangguan. The Immortal Qi inside was extremely dense, forming layers of fog.
If the excess Spiritual Qi hadn't been absorbed by the sun, moon, and stars in the space above, it would have produced a large number of Immortal Jades. However, compared to the loss of Immortal Jades, Song Zhong valued the growth of the sun, moon, and stars more.
After absorbing the Immortal Qi for a hundred years, the sun, moon, and stars in his natal space had been greatly improved. The sun's diameter had increased from tens of thousands of feet to hundreds of thousands of feet, and the True Sun Fire on it had become purer and more viscous.
The ancient Fusang tree on the sun seemed to be glowing with a new spring, growing extremely vigorously. Tens of thousands of golden crows on it had come alive, flying around excitedly all day long in the space. Several times, they had almost caused trouble, forcing Song Zhong to limit their range of activity. Only then did they slightly restrain themselves.
As for the moon and stars in his natal space, they had become larger, and the moonlight and star power they emitted were purer and more powerful. Although they were not very strong now, Song Zhong estimated that if this continued, within a thousand years at most, he could collect their moonlight and star power to refine special magic treasures.
In addition to these, Song Zhong valued the magical black soil the most. It was now tens of thousands of feet in diameter, and the efficiency of decomposition had increased exponentially. Almost every day, it could devour more than a dozen mountains of garbage in the East Imperial Realm. Thus, it had created great value for Song Zhong.
Now, Song Zhong sold the excess materials directly to Zhu Rongtian. The Fire Lord had reached an agreement with Song Zhong. The Fire Lord promised not to ask Song Zhong about the origin of the materials, and was willing to buy Song Zhong's materials with relatively high contribution points. Of course, in this way, Song Zhong would be at a disadvantage.
However, in order to compensate Song Zhong, the Fire Lord gave Song Zhong an extra privilege. That was, after satisfying Zhu Rongtian's contract, Song Zhong could sell materials at will. Zhu Rongtian turned a blind eye to this, and no matter who reported it, they would ignore it. This is equivalent to allowing SongZhong to openly smuggle goods!
With this death-exemption token, Song Zhong relied on his strong strength to become the largest material dealer in the Immortal Realm. Due to Zhu Rongtian's demand, he could only sell a portion of the mid-grade materials that were not in short supply, and had a large amount of low-grade materials. However, under the control of the Heavenly Court, Song Zhong's goods had become the most powerful things.
Many people would purchase goods from SongZhong and sell them to the other Heavens Beyond Heavens. They would be able to make a huge profit! This was one of the reasons why Song Zhong's Chen Tangguan had become so prosperous.
As Song Zhong's allies, the other Great Emperors of the Dragon Realm of the Four Seas also benefited a lot. At least, they bought a lot of materials and Divine Thunder Flying Ships at a reasonable price, and sold some of them, which was more than the subsidies given by the Heavenly Court!
Of course, this did not include Ice Lord. Song Zhong had broken off with him long ago, so of course, he would not sell anything to him. Song Zhong even secretly issued a trade blockade order, forbidding anyone from selling Song Zhong's goods to Ice Lord's territory.
Because Song Zhong was too powerful, and the goods in his hands were unique, none of the Immortals dared to go against his orders. They all knew that once they offended Song Zhong, they would not be able to get any goods in the future. Not being able to get any goods meant that they would lose their source of income.
Under such circumstances, naturally, no one would openly go against Song Zhong's orders. However, there were still people who secretly made deals, as long as they were not caught by Song Zhong.
Unfortunately, these guys had underestimated Song Zhong's hatred for Ice Lord and Lunatic Han. He secretly arranged for people to capture a group of people. Then, he arrested dozens of immortals who participated in the smuggling and beheaded them. Then, he severely punished the forces behind these people.
All of a sudden, everyone was stunned. From then on, almost no one dared to go against Song Zhong's orders. Anyway, whoever sold it would make a profit, so why make things difficult for themselves?
But speaking of which, Song Zhong, the biggest smuggler in the Immortal Realm, publicly executed criminals in the name of smuggling, which was really a little funny! However, this was the Immortal Realm, a place where strength was the most important thing. Song Zhong had the strength, so he could do this. Others also thought that there was nothing wrong with this.
Ice Lord was naturally furious about this. However, he had no other choice. He could not lead his subordinates to Chen Tangguan, could he? Whether he could defeat them or not was secondary. If the crime of rebellion was put on his head, he would be sent to the Immortal-slaying Platform!
Soon, the other three generals all understood the situation, and unanimously chose to support Song Zhong. After all, their interests depended on Song Zhong's support, not Ice Lord. If they continued to be fence-sitters, once Song Zhong turned hostile and stopped the supply, they would suffer a great loss.
After getting the support of the three generals, Song Zhong simply joined forces with the others to completely block Ice Lord's territory. They even skipped the regular meeting that was held once every ten years, and went to Chen Tangguan to meet him. It was equivalent to completely isolating Ice Lord, who was nominally the leader, completely! This made Perfected Ice Snow feel extremely embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do! To be honest, he now regretted offending Song Zhong. Unfortunately, there was no turning back. Now, he could only brace himself and hold on!
