Chapter 1127: Making a Deal With You!
Both the people from Mysterious Sword Gate and Liuhe Sect noticed something peculiar—Su Yi had just mentioned that Tiangang Sect suffered a significant loss and returned empty-handed?
This revelation surprised everyone, and Ji Tianfu couldn’t help but inquire, “I was about to ask, what exactly transpired? How did you previously deal with Tiangang Sect?”
He gazed at Su Yi with eager eyes, desiring to know the specifics.
In their understanding, with the presence of several imperial-level experts like those in the Overlord Sect, it seemed impossible to resist an attack from a second-rate power like Tiangang Sect!
The disparity between the two was simply too vast. When Tiangang Sect mobilized their forces, dozens of Yuan Emperor Realm experts arrived, along with members from Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect!
Upon hearing this, Su Yi smiled and informed them about the arrangement of the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm, briefly recounting what had occurred there.
These matters were already known to the people of Tiangang Sect, so it was impossible to keep them concealed from the outside world, and Su Yi had no need to hide them from these two factions either.
“An Amazing Gate Soul Realm! You actually established an Amazing Gate Soul Realm!”
Upon hearing Su Yi’s account, Ji Tianfu, Lin Zhengyang, Ge Ming, and others widened their eyes in extreme shock!
“All sixteen Yuan Emperor Realm experts of Tiangang Sect were eliminated!”
“Hong Qianglong, who had reached the half-step Yuan Zong Realm, departed with severe injuries!”
“The three major sects arrived with fierce determination but left like frightened dogs!”
Such outcomes stunned the members of these two factions to their core; they could scarcely believe it!
Had they not heard it directly from Su Yi’s mouth, they would never have believed it regardless of the circumstances!
This was utterly terrifying—once news of this matter spread throughout the Chaos Realm, it would undoubtedly cause a tremendous uproar!
Observing the terrified expressions of these individuals, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, Soul Devouring Emperor, Huang Jian, and the others exchanged smiles, feeling proud and triumphant.
Imperceptibly, the Overlord Sect had gradually transitioned from its vulnerable position of constantly fleeing from the Golden Sword Sect and Seven Star Sword Sect to challenging powerful second-rate forces. In two confrontations, they had made their opponents suffer and retreat!
This subtle transformation seemed to catch people unprepared, leaving them disoriented!
“What about the Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect…”
After a moment, Ji Tianfu suppressed his astonishment and inquired further.
“Hmm…”
Su Yi chuckled and responded, “These two sects have repeatedly attempted to kill me! Such organizations cannot be permitted to continue existing!”
As he spoke, a surge of killing intent emanated from him, resembling a fierce, raging fire!
Beside him, the Green Emperor calmly continued the conversation, adding, “Therefore, from this day forward, the Chaos Realm will no longer have the Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect! All their experts at the Yuan Void Realm and above have been eradicated!”
Ji Tianfu, Lin Zhengyang, and Feng Qizong from Mysterious Sword Gate and Liuhe Sect were rendered speechless.
At this moment, they felt turbulent waves in their hearts that they couldn’t calm.
All the powerful warriors above the Yuan Void Realm from both Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect had been completely eliminated!
How formidable must one be to accomplish such a feat!
At the very least, for Mysterious Sword Gate and Liuhe Sect, even if they combined forces, destroying Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect would result in substantial losses for themselves!
Based on this calculation, the strength of the Overlord Sect had reached a frightening level!
“Master!”
Just as Su Yi and the others were conversing, Wen Zhengquan cautiously approached, looking anxiously at Su Yi.
“What is it?” Su Yi asked with curiosity.
“Master, might we speak privately?” Wen Zhengquan said mysteriously, repeatedly winking at Su Yi.
Seeing his demeanor, Su Yi became increasingly confused, unable to discern what this thin old man was planning.
The two moved aside, and in a very low voice, Wen Zhengquan said to Su Yi, “Master, we must act swiftly. The Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect have been destroyed, but their subordinates still maintain control over cities. Within those cities, they possess various businesses and industries of great value. If we don’t seize control quickly, we will certainly lose out. It would constitute a significant loss.”
Wen Zhengquan attempted to maintain his composure, but whenever financial matters arose, the old man couldn’t help but grow excited.
“So that’s it!”
Su Yi raised his eyebrows, becoming more alert.
Both the Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect are powerful entities in the Chaos Realm, each controlling several cities.
For instance, Sword Star City is one of the cities under Seven Star Sword Sect’s control. It serves as a gathering place for countless cultivators engaged in trade.
Simultaneously, the Seven Star Sword Sect itself operates numerous businesses and trade ventures in Sword Star City!
A sect’s regular income typically derives from these aspects.
Therefore, if the Overlord Sect could control several cities from both forces, it would provide them with a continuous source of wealth in the future!
“Then let’s expedite our departure and occupy all the cities!”
Su Yi suddenly felt anxious—how could he not comprehend Wen Zhengquan’s meaning?
Once news regarding the destruction of Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect reaches those cities, the local rulers will undoubtedly seize all benefits and leave behind mere empty shells.
Should this continue, the losses would indeed be significant; Su Yi couldn’t help but feel distressed just contemplating it!
“But…”
In the next moment, however, Su Yi’s brow furrowed tightly, his face filled with concern.
He wished to launch a lightning-fast attack, occupying several cities before anyone could fully react.
But the problem remained…
The Overlord Sect currently possessed only a few individuals, totaling just over a hundred people. How could they occupy multiple cities? How could they assume control over so many industries? How could they intimidate those scattered cultivators?
True, the several Beast Emperors could mobilize numerous demon beasts, but they couldn’t leave the beasts to guard the cities, could they? That would frighten away countless scattered cultivators and small forces, eliminating any prospects for future business. What purpose would possessing cities serve then?
“Why didn’t we anticipate this issue beforehand?”
Su Yi rubbed his temples, experiencing a sudden headache.
The problem of manpower shortage within the Overlord Sect suddenly magnified countless times.
“Master, we cannot delay any longer. The losses are all in Yuan Stones!”
Wen Zhengquan was deeply troubled. The mere thought of lost Yuan Stones caused him immense heartache.
Yet he also recognized the Overlord Sect’s situation, and no immediate solution to the manpower issue presented itself.
“There remains only one option now!”
After a moment, Su Yi’s expression changed, and he spoke in a deep voice.
“What option?” Wen Zhengquan’s eyes brightened.
Su Yi offered little explanation; he simply turned and flew away, reappearing before the members of Mysterious Sword Gate and Liuhe Sect.
Wen Zhengquan was puzzled but mustered the courage to follow along this time, as he truly wanted to learn what plan the sect leader had devised.
“Sect Leader Ji, Sect Leader Lin!”
Su Yi looked at Ji Tianfu and Lin Zhengyang and said, “I wish to propose a business arrangement with both of you. Are you interested?”
Ji Tianfu and Lin Zhengyang were stunned. They had yet to recover from their earlier shock when they heard Su Yi stating he wanted to conduct business with them.
This abrupt shift overwhelmed them momentarily, leaving them confused.
Nevertheless, they instinctively asked, “What kind of business?”
Su Yi contemplated briefly before seriously stating, “Currently, the Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect have been completely eradicated, yet they still control several cities containing numerous businesses and industries requiring new management. However, my Overlord Sect presently lacks sufficient manpower, so I hope you two can dispatch people to assume responsibility. We cannot delay too long; otherwise, once others claim the benefits, we will suffer considerable losses.”
Su Yi didn’t conceal his thoughts and directly expressed his intentions.
This represented the truth—even if he attempted to hide it, the two individuals across from him could easily discern it from their perspective.
As they discussed important matters, Ji Tianfu and Lin Zhengyang quickly adopted serious demeanors and suppressed their previous emotions.
“So… what do you propose?” Lin Zhengyang asked Su Yi, observing him carefully.
Ji Tianfu also regarded the young man before them. He recognized that this individual wasn’t so generous as to offer them several cities without reason. The young man undoubtedly had certain requirements.
“It’s straightforward! I want both of you to help me secure control of all the cities. When the Overlord Sect acquires sufficient manpower, we can assume full control. During this interim, we will share all profits. And when the time comes for the Overlord Sect to take over, I will grant you two cities to manage for ten years, during which I won’t claim a single penny!”
Su Yi looked at the two individuals and presented his offer.
After hearing his complete proposal, Ji Tianfu and Lin Zhengyang fell silent, each contemplating something internally.
Behind Su Yi, Wen Zhengquan hung his head, continually pinching his fingers, with a furrowed brow.
“Ten years is insufficient—at least fifty years!”
After a while, Ji Tianfu suddenly spoke up, “After fifty years, all industries in that city will be transferred to the Overlord Sect!”
He gazed at Su Yi with gleaming eyes, instinctively seeking to negotiate with this young man.
During their last encounter in Nine Star City, after exchanging twenty positions with this young man, Ji Tianfu had overheard Su Yi excitedly whispering outside: We’re going to make a fortune!
Therefore, the price this young man mentioned definitely contained room for negotiation.
“Sect Leader Ji…” Lin Zhengyang attempted to interject, wishing to contribute something.
He believed Ji Tianfu was demanding too much by requesting fifty years of operational rights all at once.
In truth, a city’s revenue for ten years already represented a substantial sum, and they hadn’t invested significant effort—merely occupying a few cities temporarily on behalf of the Overlord Sect while receiving half the profits.
Such an advantageous opportunity wasn’t something he would normally dare to contemplate, but now that Su Yi had proposed it, Lin Zhengyang considered the deal highly worthwhile.
However, as soon as he began speaking, Su Yi interrupted him, saying, “Sect Leader Ji, your request is excessive. I can at most extend it by another ten years, totaling twenty years. We cannot offer more than that; otherwise, this arrangement becomes impractical!”
Su Yi shrugged helplessly as he spoke.
