Chapter 751: Chapter 4 Sentiments! 【2 in 1】_3

But in return, if the Talisman Sect reaps any profits in the future, Chu Liang will have the right to a share. Whenever there is a need, the Talisman Sect must obey Chu Liang’s orders.

In simple terms, the Talisman Sect has found a wealthy backer.

All the debts the Talisman Sect owes to Red Cotton Peak will be considered part of the "acquisition" cost and will be written off. From now on, they not only don’t need to owe debts, but they can also receive money from Red Cotton Peak with great propriety.

After a period of hesitation, Huan Leisheng finally chose to accept this parachuted "Head Master".

He had no other option. Apart from Chu Liang, there would hardly be a second person in the world who would support his Talisman Heavenly Plate with such might and resources.

The Talisman Sect was now at a dead end. If he wanted to successfully craft the Talisman Heavenly Plate, he had to rely on the help of Chu Liang.

As for the power of the Talisman Sect... Huan Leisheng had never been worried about that.

If you want it, just take it.

It’s the least valuable thing.

Who would manipulate a small Talisman Sect when they are the leader of Red Cotton Peak, and potentially about to take charge of Shu Mountain?

Huan Leisheng didn’t think it necessary, let alone Chu Liang.

To put it in another way, if Shu Mountain wanted to aggressively annex the Talisman Sect now, Huan Leisheng would absolutely feel like fortune had come twice over.

Why even give money when a notification would suffice?

With the uneven disciples under his Sect, who would stick around the Talisman Sect if given the opportunity to join the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect?

After realizing this, Huan Leisheng immediately put on a jubilant face, assuring "Master Chu" that he would create the real Talisman Heavenly Plate as quickly as possible.

"No need to be so formal, just call me Master Chu from now on." Chu Liang waved his hand and smiled warmly.

After leaving the Talisman Sect, faced with his Master’s confusion, Chu Liang had to explain with a smile.

"If a hen is on the verge of starvation, we would get very little meat if we just killed it. But if we save it, raise it, let it lay eggs for us, we can have many eggs. Then the eggs can hatch into many chickens, giving us access to a continuous supply of meat."

After hearing this, Empress Feng nodded thoughtfully.

After a long silence, it was not until the master and disciple returned to Silver Sword Peak that she suddenly exclaimed, looking at Chu Liang, "Oh! You’re saying the Talisman Sect is that hen!"

"..." Chu Liang fell silent, then revealed an admiring smile, "Indeed, nothing can be concealed from my Master."

"Hehe." Empress Feng smiled wickedly, "I knew it as soon as I guessed."

Looking at the prosperous scene of Red Cotton Peak in the distance, she couldn’t help but sigh from the bottom of her heart: "You guys really know how to make money."

...

"Ouch——"

In the luxurious palace of Town Star Island in the Eastern Sea, Hong Jufeng lay surrounded by several attendants, wailing continuously.

"Who dared to injure my son!" An angry voice echoed throughout the main hall: "I swear I’ll flay them alive, pull their tendons and grind their bones!!"

It turned out that a giant man with a thunderous step had just walked into the hall. Compared to this man’s stature, Hong Jufeng was merely a small mound of flesh.

This man bore some resemblance to Hong Jufeng, but was much more intimidating. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he brought with him an oppressive atmosphere akin to a storm cloud.

It was the Island Master of Town Star Island, Hong Zhenyuan.

"Father!" Seeing his father arrive, Hong Jufeng’s sobs grew even louder, "It was the Empress Feng of Shu Mountain! Father, you have to get justice for me——"

"Hmm..."

Hong Zhenyuan’s anger visibly dissipated, like the snow in early spring melting under the sun.

"Father?" Hong Jufeng cried for quite a while. Seeing no response, he tentatively asked again.

"Why did you get yourself involved with her..." Hong Zhenyuan’s voice was low and filled with a hint of helplessness.

"It was the people from Penglai who asked me to toughen up against Shu Mountain." Hong Jufeng whined, "Otherwise, why would we, as busy as we are, have any reason to provoke the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect?"

"Those from Penglai..." Hong Zhenyuan’s gaze moved around the room, paused, then said, "The people from Penglai had conflicts with Shu Mountain not long ago and thought to use our power to trip up Shu Mountain. That put us in the middle, making us the poor middleman."

"Humph!" Hong Jufeng snorted, "Well, this time we won’t care about anyone, let them fight amongst themselves."

"It just doesn’t work like that..." Hong Zhenyuan sighed, "The selection for the Ten Earth Sects is imminent. If we want to be selected, we might have to rely on the power of the two Immortal Sects in Eastern Sea, Penglai and Misty Mountain."

"It’s coming?" The prospect immediately revived Hong Jufeng’s spirits.

He had been in charge of a few Spirit Stone mines in Eastern Sea, bullying and bossing people around. He had grown tired of this. But if Town Star Island could become part of the Ten Earth Sects, his position and prospects as Young Master would be very different.

"It’s not that simple, but Daoist Xuan Lu said Penglai is pushing for us this time. They don’t have many other options."

"Hehe, surely no other sect has strength that can be compared to ours." Hong Jufeng laughed heartily.

With the fall of Taotie City, one position in the Ten Earth Sects became vacant, and many eyes instantly targeted that position.

If it was the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, perhaps there wouldn’t be so many interested parties. After all, to become one of the Nine Heavens, you need to have top-level power among the Ten Earths. However, those ranked below the Ten Earth Sects are many.

They were surrounded by wolves and tigers all around.

Just being able to become one of the Ten Earth Sects boosted one’s status, resources, influence, and power of speech significantly. Even if there were only a glimmer of hope, these sects wouldn’t mind giving it a shot.

"It’s not that simple," Hong Zhenyuan shook his head and said, "I heard that the Endless Sword Sect and the Lunar Sect from the North Region are favoring the Ice Soul Sword Sect. The Heavenly King Sect and the Tianshu Pavilion are favoring the Jupiter Dao; Ascending Dragon Academy and Scholar’s Academy are favoring the Yu Mountain Academy; Yunque Temple and Chonglou Temple are favoring the Xuan Tian Temple of Buddhism..."

"So many?" Hong Jufeng was surprised. "They all want to compete with us?"

Hong Zhenyuan had listed a number of large influences below the Ten Earth Sects. Many of them didn’t show any ambition usually, often appearing leisurely and detached from worldly affairs. Unexpectedly, they all came out now to vie for the position.

"After all, it’s a great opportunity to enhance our influence. Even the normally foolish Heavenly Gang Sect knows to present a War Mausoleum Mountain..."

Hong Zhenyuan frowned and began counting, "These are all strong contenders. It’s not just our competition with them, but the forces behind them also fight against each other. Even Penglai can’t guarantee our success. This competition for the Ten Earths is going to be a game between the dragon and the tiger!"
