Ling Yunzi waited for the atmosphere to warm before gently coughing once. The hall immediately quietened down, and only the ‘tick tock tick tock’ sound of the clock could be heard.
With his enigmatic looks, he smoothed his beard and said, “Everyone, you don’t have to be so polite. Although Vigilante A is strong, I believe that with three days of rest, I’ll have an 80% chance of defeating him. You’ll have free reign in the future and behave to your heart’s content. You won’t have to worry about that guy anymore.
“Good, Senior Ling Yunzi truly is strong. We’ll be able to rest assured from now.” Pan Liang was greatly delighted to hear his words. He took out a ring and respectfully said, “Senior, this is just a token of appreciation. It serves as a welcome gift from me. I hope that Senior will work with us in the future as well.”
Ling Yunzi’s eyes brightened. He reached out and took the ring into his hands.
He sensed slightly and smiled, “Not bad, you’re quite considerate. You can be my first disciple in this world.”
Pan Liang face immediately revealed his joy. The crowd felt slightly displeased at the sight, but they could not say anything.
This old man seemed to be quite avaricious?
It was somewhat understandable. After all, he had said that ‘the Path of Longevity was the accumulation of resources’…
Later on, as if he had found some kind of business opportunity, the middle-aged man with the surname Liu pulled out jade pendant and deferentially held it out with both hands,
“Elder Immortal, this is a thousand-year-old jade. According to a Daoist expert’s appraisal, it contains the essence of the sun and moon, and conceals a profound mystery of Heaven and Earth. I hope you’ll kindly accept it.”
Ling Yunzi did not comment on it and simply reached out to accept it.
As soon as he touched the jade pendant, his eyes lightened up again, and he nodded, “Not bad indeed. Since you’re so considerate, I’ll give you some advice. Your endowment isn’t very good, but as long as the resources are in place, even a good-for-nothing can become a genius. I’ve seen several similar examples in the Upper Realm, so remember to never abandon yourself to despair.”
“Many thanks for your generous advice. However, I still have a small matter I wish to ask of you.” The middle-aged man asked happily.
He would never make a losing business transaction. That jade pendant was very valuable. He had gone through a great deal to obtain it.
He definitely would not be satisfied with just an empty Chicken Soup-esque quote. He fed those quotes to his subordinates multiple times already, so how could it be his turn to be fed by this old man now?
“Oh, you have a problem, but there’s no harm in saying it.” Ling Yunzi stopped smiling and said lightly.
“My family took a fancy to a mountainous region in Nanling, but it had already been contracted years ago by a few poor entrepreneurs to plant trees. We’ve negotiated with them several times already, but they just refuse to transfer the land to us. Even during the moon crisis some time ago where many people sold their land one after another, they didn’t leave nor sell their land either. They’re really making things difficult for others.” The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed.
“What’s the big deal with that?” Ling Yunzi smiled again after hearing that, “Since they’re so tactless, all you have to do is let them die…”
‘Hiss…’ Everyone’s heart trembled at his words, and they exchanged looks.
They now knew that this Immortal from the Upper Realm had a completely different train of thought when it came to solving problems.
Although they were not ‘good’ people, at the very least, they still had some reverence for the law.
They would use as much money to solve problems that could be solved with money, and even for problems that required force, they would not simply ask for the other party’s life from the get-go.
However, what he was doing now was playing down and casually saying that he would take away a few lives.
However, besides the shock that they felt, they also another special stimulus…
Why did so many people fight for the Emperor in the past? It was because of the authority that allowed them to execute people at will…
Thinking about this, a glint slowly emerged in their eyes.
These people were notorious for their misdeeds. Some of them had kill people because they were speeding, and they had wasted a lot of effort to settle the dispute that followed.
At this time, all of them were thinking that if they could really make China, or even the world, into a world like Ling Yunzi’s, they would be able to do whatever they pleased and no longer had to take into consideration any public opinion or laws anymore…
Hearing this, the middle-aged man with the surname Liu was first surprised, then pleased, and finally hesitated, “I’ve really troubled the Elder Immortal. However, as long as those peasants know that they should be afraid, it would be enough. There’s no need to go so far now.”
“Haha, as you wish. I’ll solve this problem for you since you’ve already paid me. My Soaring Cloud Faction always speaks of credibility.” Ling Yunzi shook his head.
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes brightened at the same time.
They had similar requests that they did not dare to do because they were hindered by Vigilante A and the Truth Department.
“Elder Immortal, I have ten Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pills here, please help me get a body of water.”
“Elder Immortal, I have a Dragon Clan Secret Interspatial Artifact, please help me deal with an enemy.”
“Elder Immortal, …”
“Alright, alright.” Ling Yunzi crinkled his eyes in a smile and accepted everything while agreeing.
He looked at the rewards one by one and suddenly wondered, “These so-called Dragon Clam Pills and Artifacts are of high quality. It will be hard to make them if not from a dragon. However, the Dragon Clan has always been lazy, so how would one of them personally refine all these exquisite items?”
“Haha, perhaps Elder Immortal doesn’t know, but that Vigilante A is a descended True Dragon. He is avaricious by nature and refined many similar treasures. He wantonly exploited us with the help of technological superiority.” Pan Liang hurriedly explained.
“I see, he really is a fool. With his skill, he could have just taken anything he wanted by force. Why did he have to waste time and energy to refine such useless things? He really is ignorant and foolish.” Ling Yunzi said in disdain.
“Huh…” Everyone felt a little discouraged in their hearts.
Could it be that this Ling Yunzi was accepting their resources by means of trade now because he had not recovered his power?
He had confidence that he would be able to defeat Vigilante A three days later, but did that mean that they would have to pay tribute to him then as well?
Ling Yunzi completely saw all the hesitation that appeared on their faces.
He lightly said, “Please rest assured. You don’t have to worry about me falling out with you and becoming hostile. I want to develop and promote my Soaring Cloud Faction in this world, so I will need some additional personnel. Since we were all brought together here by fate, everyone will naturally have a share. Since we’re one now, I will not forcefully take any of your items.”
“The Elder Immortal is too courteous. We weren’t worried about that at all. Since you’re a sage, you definitely would not take a liking to our little trinkets.” Someone immediately said, terrified.
In any case, it would not be a good idea to offend this old man now.
Some people secretly felt regret. They should not have attended this gathering. This old man’s nature had been revealed.
Perhaps it was a common characteristic of genuine powerhouses to be disdainful and disguise themselves.
Like a lion or tiger, the would hide and launch surprise attacks when hunting for prey.
When modern people hunted, they would just use hunting guns. There were very few people who would choose to be like the tigers and lie the grass for half a day in ambush.
“Haha, very well. I’ve noted down all your problems. I’ll deal with them for you in three days. I’m a little tired now, so I’ll go back and rest for now.”
After saying that, he ignored everyone else and disappeared.
That was how the strong treated the weak. They did not care about etiquette.
Would a person be afraid of embarrassing themselves in front of ants?
After the old man left, the hall was plunged into silence. A long time passed before someone finally whispered.
“Sigh, I feel like I’ve been led astray.” Someone said regretfully.
“Hush, keep your voice down. Aren’t you afraid that Elder Immortal will kill you in one strike if he hears you?” Another person said.
“Everyone be quiet, quiet.” Pan Liang’s heart was troubled at this time. This old man was too bold and unscrupulous. He did not speak tactfully either. He was indeed different from the powerhouses of this world.
However, he still had to deal with the aftermath of the god that he personally invited, so he soothed the crowd and said, “Please don’t worry, everyone. We’re all on the same boat. If the Elder Immortal needs us, he’ll naturally give us benefits. It’s not us that we have to worry about, but those foolish and powerless ordinary people who can only become our slaves in the future.”
Hearing this, their mood slowly calmed down.
Some people thought carefully, ‘That’s right. Wouldn’t we be able to live well as long as we work hand in glove with each other?’
“Sir Pan is right. Elder Immortal’s words were all for those ignorant, ordinary people. We’re all rich and powerful people, so of course we’ll be treated differently.” Someone person chimed in.
“That’s right. In the future, as long as we stick close to the Immortal, we’ll be able to establish a royal paradise that truly belongs to us.” Another person said excitedly.
