A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality and I Become a God
Chapter Summary
Aren't you afraid that the three of us will join forces to attack your Myriad Flowers Holy Land?" Lei Wanyun's gaze toward Murong Huang was filled with coldness. However, the four holy lands will absolutely not go to war unless absolutely necessary, because if they did, the resulting turmoil would be enough to keep the entire Xuan Tian Realm from calming down. Just have the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce give us a portion of its profits, and we'll provide them with protection." Li Taibai said witho...
"Strange, the Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers left the Holy Land of Myriad Flowers and headed towards the Southern Region. Could it be that he went there for the cell phone?"
On the other side, Wu Hao's divine sense was enough to cover a small part of the Central Region. He keenly captured the Myriad Flower Saint Lord the moment he passed by. Combined with the direction the Myriad Flower Saint Lord was heading, Wu Hao quickly determined that the Myriad Flower Saint Lord was probably planning to go to the Southern Region.
What could possibly attract the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers in the Southern Region now? It's nothing more than a mobile phone.
Thinking of this, Wu Hao did not hesitate and chose to follow secretly. After all, the Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers was a peak Quasi-Emperor, and he also had a genuine Emperor Weapon. If he were to make a move against Wu Rulong, the methods he had left behind might not be enough to stop him.
However, while Wu Hao was following Murong Huang, he also sensed three other auras not far away that were similar to Murong Huang's, and they all seemed to be heading towards the Southern Region.
"Interesting. It seems that even the four holy lands have been alarmed by this little gadget that you invented so casually, and they want to seize it."
Wu Hao thought to himself, and then continued to follow Murong Huang silently. Don't be fooled by the fact that Murong Huang was at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, Wu Hao was now at the late Great Emperor realm. If he wanted to avoid being discovered by Murong Huang, he wouldn't even be able to detect him if he was two and a half meters away.
The four Holy Lords moved extremely fast and soon arrived in the Southern Region, following the location they had obtained earlier to the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce.
Just as Murong Huang was about to speak, he sensed something, suddenly looked into the distance, and sneered.
"Li Bai, so you've come too."
As Murong Huang finished speaking, a middle-aged man dressed in green robes and carrying a long sword appeared not far away. This man was none other than Li Taibai, the Holy Lord of the Azure Lotus Holy Land.
But at this moment, Li Bai's face did not show any joy in reminiscing with an old friend; instead, he said with an expression of "I knew it."
"What, you can come, but I can't? And you two hiding over there, come out too."
As Li Taibai finished speaking, two more figures slowly emerged from the void beside him.
Upon seeing the two figures, Murong Huang's expression darkened further, for the two were Lin Shui Rou, the Holy Master of the Soft Water Holy Land, and Lei Wan Yun, the Holy Master of the Thunderclap Holy Land.
"Old thief Murong, are you planning to hog all this alone? Aren't you afraid that the three of us will join forces to attack your Myriad Flowers Holy Land?"
Lei Wanyun's gaze toward Murong Huang was filled with coldness. If the four holy lands were to fight one-on-one, it would be impossible to determine a winner, but if it were three against one, the Myriad Flowers Holy Land would undoubtedly be defeated.
However, the four holy lands will absolutely not go to war unless absolutely necessary, because if they did, the resulting turmoil would be enough to keep the entire Xuan Tian Realm from calming down.
"Hehehe, old Murong, do you think you're the only one who knows? If we knew, we would definitely come too. The situation here is too complicated; you can't handle it. You should leave it to me."
Lin Shui Rou covered her mouth and looked at Murong Huang with a cold smile, but Murong Huang refused without hesitation.
"Gentlemen, give me what's here, and I, Emperor Murong, will owe you a favor, how about it?"
Just kidding. If any holy land controlled these things, it would probably be able to rule the Xuan Tian Realm and become its master in just a hundred years.
If they dared to give up what's here to Emperor Murong, they'd probably be cursed to death by the people in the Holy Land when they got back.
Therefore, without hesitation, Li Bai and the others refused.
Seeing this, Wu Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, became curious. How would the four Holy Masters resolve this matter?
However, at that moment, Emperor Murong spoke.
"Since we can't get it, why not destroy it? If no one is willing to back down, then the best solution is to destroy it. In that case, no one will be able to threaten the status of our four holy lands."
"At the same time, the relationship between our four holy sites can still be maintained like this."
Murong Huang's tone was extremely serious. This was the best solution he had come up with after thinking about it for a long time. If he didn't want the four holy lands to go to war, then destruction was the last resort.
Otherwise, even if one of the holy lands obtains this technology, the other three holy lands will definitely not stand idly by. The best way is to destroy the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce, so that the four holy lands will not go to war.
As Murong Huang finished speaking, Li Taibai and the other two fell silent. Clearly, they had not expected that Murong Huang would come up with such a method.
Li Bai spoke first.
"Go ahead and do it. I'll just make sure you don't get the phone's technology, or my Qinglian Holy Land can cooperate with their Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce."
As a member of a prestigious and upright family, Li Bai would never do something like wiping out an entire family.
As Li Taibai spoke, Lin Shuirou chuckled in response.
“I’m not that violent. If your Myriad Flowers Holy Land wants to make a move, then go ahead. But my Soft Water Holy Land might not stand idly by and might even help the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce.”
“Indeed, wiping out an entire family is going too far, so I choose to stand with the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce.”
Lei Wanyun nodded and said earnestly.
Looking at their faces, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was of equal strength, Emperor Murong would probably have already gone up and killed them.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Murong Huang finally asked.
"So what do you think should be done to resolve this matter? Do you three really want to watch a small Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce rise to the same level as our Four Great Holy Lands?"
"It's very simple. Just have the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce give us a portion of its profits, and we'll provide them with protection."
Li Taibai said without hesitation that it was simple to prevent the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce from reaching the level of the Four Holy Lands: the Four Holy Lands would just come to the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce to collect protection fees.
All that's needed is for the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce to pay them more protection money than their remaining profits, and then the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce will never have a chance to rise to power.
Lin Shuirou and Lei Wanyun nodded in agreement; they shared the same idea.
However, Emperor Murong did not think so. After all, if things were like this, when would his Myriad Flowers Holy Land ever have a chance to rise to prominence? But now he had no choice but to refuse. He had to either refuse or become enemies with the other three holy lands.
Either go along with the crowd and maintain the status quo.
Judging from their current strength, it was clear that Murong Huang did not have the power to overturn the table, so he could only sigh and agree.
Soon, the four of them reached an agreement: the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce would give about 90% of its income to the four holy lands for equal distribution. Even after the four holy lands shared the income, their income would still be higher than that of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce. This way, the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce would not have any idea of surpassing the four holy lands.
The imagination is beautiful, but reality is harsh. Wu Hao had already taken their words to heart and sighed helplessly. He just wanted his son to do business properly, so why did people always have to come looking for trouble?
First it was the Li Dynasty, and now it's people from the four holy lands.
But there was no other way. He had to take action now, and based on his understanding of his son, his son would never agree to it. So either he had to take action himself to defeat the four Holy Lords, or he would just have to watch helplessly.
