Chapter 1565: Chapter 90 Rich Flaunts Power! A Series of Poisonous Schemes_4

At the entrance of the Spirit Field’s main residence, True Monarch Wu Dao hovered mid-air. His silvery hair was casually tied atop his head with a tree branch, and his green robes swayed with the breeze—he appeared just like the legendary immortals, aloof and solitary.

Compared to Wei Dongyu, who was only over three thousand years old standing across from him, Wu Dao’s appearance seemed far younger.

Those who didn’t know better might mistake Wei Dongyu for the elder.

However, this ’immortal’s attitude was definitely not pleasant.

"Forgive? What crime?!" True Monarch Wu Dao sneered coldly. In an enraged tone, he continued, "I’ve come to collect the compensation debt for the Tree of Fortune. Fifty million Immortal Crystals in total. Give it to me, and I’ll leave immediately!"

Compensation debt?

Wei Dongyu’s heart sank. Hastily, he forced a flattering smile and said, "Senior Wu Dao, our Wei Family is currently facing great difficulties. We are unable to gather fifty million Immortal Crystals in the short term. Perhaps you could grant us some time..."

Before he’d finished speaking, a voice suddenly interrupted him from afar: "Senior, don’t believe him. The Wei Family just spent billions of Immortal Crystals purchasing Xuan Iron ore—how could they have no money?"

Before the echo of the voice faded, ripples appeared in the sky.

Soon after, King of Zhennan, Yun Xiayang, tore through the space, emerging with an imposing presence before the man and the tree.

"King of Zhennan!" Wei Dongyu’s aged face twitched. He growled angrily, "You, of all people, should understand the plight of our Wei Family. Yet here you are, indulging in such lowly acts of kicking someone when they’re down!"

"Lowly acts?" King of Zhennan laughed heartily. "Old Wei, are you really slapping a label on me? So, it’s fine for your Wei Family to profit from hoarding and manipulating the prices of strategically important resources, but wrong for me to take advantage of your plight? What kind of logic is that?"

"That’s right—this king is indeed here to stir up trouble." King of Zhennan audaciously admitted to his motives outright. Turning to True Monarch Wu Dao, he cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Senior Wu Dao, these Wei Family folks have grown too comfortable playing their role as local tyrants. If you don’t display some dominance, they’ll surely resort to delays and deceit. The longer this drags on, the more unpredictable it becomes, don’t you think?"

"What King of Zhennan says is entirely reasonable."

True Monarch Wu Dao glanced at Wei Dongyu, but not bothering to entertain him further, he directly dove toward a plot of top-quality Spirit Field within the Wei Family’s main residence.

As he descended, his body underwent immense transformation. Within streaks of green light, his original form emerged.

A colossal, dignified tree appeared—its massive crown blotted out the sky, casting an enormous shadow across the ground.

Accompanied by the rumbling vibrations of the underground Spirit Veins, his thick roots forcefully drilled deep into the top-quality Spirit Field, churning up its very foundation. The tree began voraciously absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the premium-grade Spirit Veins.

As a Level Twelve quasi-Immortal Tree capable of guarding the Array Eye of an Immortal Palace, True Monarch Wu Dao’s tea tree form had an unfathomable capacity for Spiritual Energy absorption.

Under his full-force extraction, the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Veins began to deteriorate at an alarming rate. In the blink of an eye, the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the air visibly decreased.

Panic spread across the Wei Family—it was as if a catastrophe had struck.

When several Great Elders prepared to rush into the depths of the main residence to activate the Mountain Protection Array in resistance against the tea tree, Wei Dongyu hastily shouted, "Stop! Don’t harm Senior Wu Dao."

The status and influence of True Monarch Wu Dao’s tea tree form were simply too high. If they injured him, they would provoke even greater trouble—potentially summoning Immortal Emperors and Immortal Supremes to retaliate on his behalf. The loss would far outweigh the gain.

"Oh, Senior Wu Dao~" King of Zhennan couldn’t help but feel absolutely delighted inside. Adding fuel to the fire, he suggested again, "You’re still being far too conservative. I recommend you directly pierce through the Wei Family’s treasure vault and take what you deserve for compensation. After all, the truth is on your side—even if this escalates to the Immortal Emperor or Immortal Supreme, no one would dare dispute your reasoning."

After all, King of Zhennan had already torn apart any pretense of cordiality with the Wei Family. If he didn’t seize this moment to kick them further while they were down, when else could he? As for whether the Wei Family would hold a grudge in the future—he truly couldn’t care less.

Wei Dongyu nearly burst with anger at the King of Zhennan.

If True Monarch Wu Dao were to enter their treasure vault now, sweeping through it amidst the chaos, the Wei Family would potentially suffer an unimaginable loss!

"Xiayang’s proposal isn’t bad." True Monarch Wu Dao swayed his enormous tree crown, rumbling in a booming voice, "Since the Wei Family refuses to pay, this monarch shall personally retrieve compensation."

"Senior, we were wrong!" Wei Dongyu urgently intervened. "Ten days—give us ten days, and we will present the fifty million Immortal Crystals without fail. Please, Senior, cease your Divine Skills immediately."

"Very well. This monarch shall wait for ten days at your Wei Family. Once I receive the compensation, I’ll leave." True Monarch Wu Dao deepened his roots further into the Spirit Field, firmly anchoring himself to the premium-grade Spirit Veins. While continuing to absorb the Spiritual Energy, he added, "During these ten days, I won’t be going anywhere."

Wei Dongyu had no choice but to yield to True Monarch Wu Dao, gritting his teeth as he said, "Senior, please make yourself comfortable. I will expedite the arrangement of compensation."

But before his voice fully fell—

In the sky, several more figures tore through space and arrived.

As soon as they appeared, a chorus of voices—some old, some booming—echoed across the sky.

"Wei Family, quickly repay the funds you owe!"

Their message, summed up in a single intent: pay the debt!

"Pfft!"

Wei Dongyu’s face turned utterly ashen, and he vomited a mouthful of congealed blood.

Having lived over three thousand years, he had seen countless crises, but faced with this situation, how could he not see the issue?

Although the Wei Family had indeed borrowed extensively from other prominent families and financial institutions, how could it be such a ’coincidence’ that all creditors arrived at this particular moment?

This was clearly a deliberate scheme!

Meanwhile, King of Zhennan observed all of this with a gleeful expression.

Serves you right for antagonizing me in the past, for looking down on my Immortal Soldier Department—now you’re finally facing your karmic retribution!

Wei Dongyu—oh, Wei Dongyu—of all the people you could have provoked, why did you have to mess with Wang Fugui?

Wang Fugui may appear righteous and radiant on the surface, but deep down, he’s cunning beyond measure. His interconnected web of schemes is anything but easy to unravel.
