Ye Kong quickly helped him up and said, "Without you, Iron Prison Mountain would have lost its source of information. You're the eyes and ears of Iron Prison Mountain. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Pingzhi said, "My cultivation base hasn't broken through, but my son Lin Zequan's cultivation base isn't bad. He's already a low-grade Great Overarching Golden Celestial. He wants to join Iron Prison Mountain as well."
Ye Kong said, "Sure."
Lin Pingzhi then summoned his wife, son Lin Zequan, daughter-in-law, and the others. Ye Kong smiled and nodded. According to Uncle Lin's son's cultivation level and Uncle Lin's contribution to Iron Prison Mountain, Iron Prison Mountain also gave them priority. Ye Kong said, "That's right. Come back to Iron Prison Mountain with me after this is over."
After exchanging pleasantries, they got down to business. Lin Pingzhi introduced, "There are four major mines on this trash planet, which are also known as garbage diggers. Tang Lu is one of them, and also the strongest of the four. He was born on the trash planet, and his parents are unknown. He was an orphan who picked up trash for a living. However, he had a fortuitous encounter and obtained the help of many experts. He became an immortal and built up a force. "
Ye Kong frowned and said, "So many experts? Is he that popular?"
Lin Pingzhi said, "The so-called experts were for the orphan Tang Lu. Now that I think about it, those experts were Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials at most."
Ye Kong nodded. "That's right."
Lin Pingzhi continued, "In truth, Tang Lu and the other three mine owners were just the trash kings of the trash planet. It's already a remarkable feat that they could become Golden Immortals, but pulling in bandits, carving up the trash planet, and robbing passing merchant caravans … all of this started with the arrival of an expert on the trash planet."
Ye Kong listened attentively when he heard about the expert.
Uncle Lin said, "After this expert came to the trash planet, he subdued the four most powerful Trash Kings with his powerful force. The four Trash Kings recognized this expert as their master, divided the trash planet, and swept away the other minor Trash Kings. That's how things are now. Tang Lu is one of the four."
After listening to him, Ye Kong thought for a moment and said, "That expert subdued them and hid behind the scenes. Was he trying to take control of the trash planet?"
Old Man Lin shook his head. After this expert arrived on the trash planet, he went into seclusion. No one knows where he went, and we couldn't find out anything about him. That's why I think this master doesn't want to occupy the trash planet, but he wants to live in seclusion here so that he won't be discovered. That's why he let the Four Trash Kings rob everywhere, so that passersby and treasure hunters won't dare to come here again. "
Ye Kong nodded. Now, it looked like he might really be one of the four Sovereign Personages. The Four Great Sovereign Personages lived in seclusion in the Immortal World, not willing to meet anyone. Hence, they came here to occupy a planet. To prevent news of this from spreading, they got Tang Lu and the others to plunder others. This was very possible.
Kuang Peng asked, "In that case, Uncle Lin, is this expert one of the four Sovereign Personages? In your opinion, which one of them is it? "
Uncle Lin shook his head. "It's hard to say. Everyone says it's one of the four Sovereign Personages, but I can't say who it is. However, in this old man's opinion, no matter which one of the four it is, we can't afford to offend him. "
Uncle Lin was right. The four Sovereign Personages were all Immortal Lords of the older generation. They were already Immortal Lords two hundred thousand years ago. Not to mention that Ye Kong was only a high-grade Great Firmament Golden Immortal, even if he rose four levels and became an Immortal Lord, he still wouldn't be a match for the four Sovereign Personages!
How could an old Immortal Lord and a new Immortal Lord be mentioned in the same breath? The four Sovereign Personages were experts on the same level as Immortal Emperors. The entire Iron Prison Mountain didn't dare to offend them! Besides, according to the rules of Iron Prison Mountain, without the special authorization of the Immortal Master, the Prison Tome had no right to investigate the four Sovereign Personages and the five Immortal Emperors.
Although Ye Kong was stubborn, he wasn't a brainless person. He pondered in his heart. This reclusive Human King wasn't doing this for benefits. Even when Tang Lu and the others did evil, they didn't get his approval … Furthermore, Tang Lu and the other three Garbage Kings weren't that senior's real disciples. To put it bluntly, he was just using them …
Thinking of this, Ye Kong wasn't anxious anymore. He could only wait until he met this Human King in the future, then console him and discipline Tang Lu and the others.
Ye Kong nodded. "Uncle Lin is right. Not only can we not afford to offend the four Sovereign Personages, but there's also no need to offend them. We still need to borrow their strength in the future, so we should be on good terms with them. How can we offend them? Let's drop this matter for now. When I see Mao Jiapi later, I'll explain it to him. "
Mao Jiapi had followed the Li Family's flying car to a nearby planet to repair and didn't come over. He believed that he would understand if he was told the whole story.
Kuang Peng and the others heaved a sigh of relief that they didn't have to go against the four Sovereign Personages. Uncle Lin was also relieved. The one who was displeased was Wu Yong. He had been bullied many times, so he couldn't bear to see such a thing happen. Now that he had come to the trash planet, he actually couldn't do anything. How could he not feel sullen?
In truth, Ye Kong was also displeased. If it were in the past, so what if there were four Sovereign Personages? Even if they were the Emperor of Heaven, he would still dare to spit in their faces. However, things were different now. He had to weigh the pros and cons and weigh his strength. In any case, it was definitely not appropriate to mess with Tang Lu now.
Hence, he could only endure his displeasure. Ye Kong said, "Uncle Lin, actually, the main reason we came to the trash planet this time isn't to find trouble with those Sovereign Personages but to accept the Divine Master's order to be the guides to receive two people who ascended from the lower realms. The date is three days from now, and the location is at Mangrove Ridge. We don't know where this Mangrove Ridge is, but we want to go and observe it first."
Uncle Lin smiled. "Mangrove Ridge, huh? That's a good place. This is the only place on the trash planet that doesn't have any trash. If you want to talk about beautiful scenery on the trash planet, this is probably the only place. The mountains are filled with mangroves, and the ground is covered in green grass. The scenery is very pleasant. "
When Ye Kong and Kuang Peng heard this, they were quite happy. At first, they were worried that Ling Ziqiu and Big Jade would feel awkward about ascending to the trash planet, but now it seemed that they didn't have to worry anymore. Although it was a trash planet, the scenery was beautiful. Otherwise, if the two of them saw a world full of trash the moment they ascended, how disgusting would that be?
Uncle Lin continued, "It's getting late, and going out at night will attract attention. Why don't you let my son, Lin Zequan, take you to Mangrove Ridge to observe first thing tomorrow morning?"
Ye Kong said, "That would be good."
Nighttime on the trash planet wasn't very peaceful. From time to time, the roars of unknown immortal beasts could be heard from outside the city. The people who were permanently stationed here were used to it, but Ye Kong and the others were impatient. Wu Yong was so annoyed that he wanted nothing more than to go out and slaughter that howling immortal beast.
Another reason for the unrest was that sandstorms would occur almost every night. There was no lack of immortal artifact fragments and the like in the sandstorms. Even immortals had to be careful when flying among them.
Ye Kong and the others stayed at the Lin Family to rest.
At this moment, however, Tang Lu's residence was bustling with activity.
