Within the Dragon Transformation Pavilion, Chu Wentian was being punished. Compared to Tang Ao's triumphant return, it was a completely different scene.
As for how Chu Wentian would be punished, Tang Ao naturally wouldn't think too much about it. Tang Ao was a simple-minded person to begin with, so he naturally wouldn't worry about someone from an enemy sect.
After bidding farewell to Fuyang, the two brothers parted ways. Fuyang returned to the Inner Sect to hand over the tasks, while Tang Ao went to exchange for the spoils from the primeval forest. After obtaining the sect's Contribution Points, he would head to the Martial Skill Pavilion to exchange for cultivation techniques, as well as some cultivation resources.
"Where is the place to exchange Contribution Points?" Tang Ao thought for a moment. He wanted to grab a random disciple and ask him. But after some thought, he felt that it wasn't appropriate. "Forget it, I'll go look for that old man Lin Jiang directly."
And so, Tang Ao strolled leisurely towards the Outer Sect Elder's Pavilion.
Within the Elder's Pavilion, the ten Elders of the Seven Kills Sect had gathered, discussing some important matters.
"The operation of a sect requires a strong financial support. In the current secular world, our Seven Kills Sect has a total of seventeen cities as our vassals." Fifth Elder Lin Jiang pointed at a map on the table with a solemn expression. The other nine Elders looked at it with rapt attention, their faces revealing thoughtful expressions.
"I'm sure everyone knows how intense the competition between the sects of the Eastern Region is. The ownership of the various cities of the Eastern Region's secular world is the source of our economic operations."
"Because the strength of the various sects has been changing in recent years, the ownership of the cities has been changing constantly. Our Seven Kills Sect is ranked at the top of the Eastern Region's rankings, and we've recruited many disciples in recent years. So, it's time for us to expand our influence in the secular world."
As soon as the Fifth Elder finished speaking, the other nine Elders nodded in unison. The Seven Kills Sect's name seemed very bloody and sharp, but in reality, the sect was very harmonious. There were no factions fighting and they were very united. Therefore, the Seven Kills Sect's strength was getting stronger and stronger.
"In recent years, the City Governor of Qiong City, Radiant City, and Water Pearl City has been wavering due to the weakness of their vassal sects. If we arrange for our disciples to infiltrate them and support the factions that are close to our Seven Kills Sect, we'll definitely be able to control the resources of these cities," the Sixth Elder said. The other Elders nodded and smiled.
Due to the fact that the city was a national asset, the major sects did not want to be too greedy in order to avoid incurring the wrath of the imperial court. Therefore, they supported a 'faction' in each place. Once this faction was successfully supported to a higher position, they would receive a large amount of resources from the city every year.
That was one of the ways the sects managed the resources in the secular world. Although the sects were places that were hidden from the world, they still needed fuel, rice, oil, and salt. They still needed large amounts of silver and cultivation resources. Those things could only be found in the secular world through power.
The more powerful the sect was, the more control they had over the secular world. The more powerful the sect was, the more resources they could get. That was already an unwritten rule between the sects and the secular world. If some sects wanted more resources, they could only use their fists to do the talking.
However, the sects would only send their disciples over. The higher-ups would not do anything. The competition was purely on the disciples' abilities. All the sects would indifferently follow that unwritten rule. No one was exempted.
"The City Governor of Water Pearl City, He Fengyuan, has always been neutral. He only listens to the imperial court. However, according to the information that our Seven Kills Sect sent over in the secular world, although He Fengyuan's strength is at the peak of the Origin realm, he has a hidden injury from fighting in his early years, causing his lifespan to end early. So, recently, he wants to choose one of his children who has a good character to inherit the position of the City Governor." The Third Elder's eyes glittered. Clearly, there was something going on in Water Pearl City.
Just at that time, a roar came from outside the Elders Hall.
"Roar roar! Old man Lin Jiang, I, Tang Ao, have returned! Why aren't you coming out to welcome me! "
The Fifth Elder Lin Jiang, as well as the Sixth Elder and Seventh Elder who had seen Tang Ao before, had faces of helplessness. The other seven elders frowned as they thought in their hearts, "Who is so impudent?"
"This child is named Tang Ao. His talent is extraordinary. When he was at the 3rd level of the Body Refining Realm, he already had the fate spirit of the 9th level of the Great Thousand World. Not long after he entered the sect, he already had the strength of the 2nd strongest in the Outer Court. If this child is given a few more years to grow, he will definitely become an influential person." Lin Jiang seemed to feel the dissatisfaction in the other elders' hearts and immediately spoke up for Tang Ao.
The seven elders who had never seen Tang Ao before instantly understood in their hearts. Towards geniuses, they were extremely tolerant.
As Tang Ao walked past, he casually knocked down a few disciples on duty who did not open their eyes. Then, he casually walked into the meeting room and found a place to sit down.
"Boy, this time you entered the Primordial Forest and caused such a big commotion. Did you have any rewards?" Lin Jiang asked with a smile and his face was filled with kindness.
"Don't mention it. It was very dangerous. I was chased by the Fire Emperor Bird, and I also met a Illusionary Sound Python at the 4th or 5th level of the Origin Realm. After that, I was chased by Dragon Transformation Pavilion disciples …" As soon as Tang Ao mentioned it, he started talking endlessly. Of course, he left out the part about the Illusionary Sound Python's golden spring and the natural treasures within the cave.
When the elders heard that, they all broke out in a cold sweat. In their hearts, they thought that Tang Ao was too daring. With the strength of the 3rd level of the Body Refining Realm, he dared to enter such a deep place in the Primordial Forest, and he was even alone.
When they heard that a single person killed over 20 Dragon Transformation Pavilion disciples, the hearts of the elders jumped. That was a big matter and it would be raised to the height of politics.
After Tang Ao chattered, he took out two items from the storage pouch that he robbed. One was the gallbladder of the Illusionary Sound Python and the other was the Fire Emperor Bird's monster core. Boundless aura instantly came out from the storage pouch and the hearts of the elders jumped.
"These two items are the most precious parts of Origin realm Monstrous Beasts. I'll give you 1000 contribution points for each one." Lin Jiang said with a smile. His eyes were glittering and no one knew what he was calculating.
"It's still you who understands my heart the best. With a glance, you knew that I didn't know where to exchange contribution points." Tang Ao said satisfyingly. He crossed his legs and had an appearance of "I don't put anyone in my eyes".
"Exchange your contribution points first, then come here to find me. I have a mission for you." Lin Jiang thought for a while and felt that Tang Ao was the best candidate for "that mission".
Tang Ao left with satisfaction. In this trip to the Primordial Forest, he also realized that he had many shortcomings. He exchanged for the Seven Kill Massacre a bit too early. It would be better to find a suitable martial skill.
After Tang Ao left, Lin Jiang's eyes shot out a ray of light and he said to the other 9 elders. "What do you think of this child? Right now, the ranked inner court disciples of the Seven Kill School are all in seclusion. Why not let him go to the mortal world and broaden his horizons? "
