Zhu Cultivation Town. In a hall!
A crowd of luxuriously dressed cultivators from the Zhu Cultivation Town sat in the hall. They were all facing She Tianba who was sitting in the main seat right in front of them.
Clan Lord She, well done! What a subterfuge! No rcy! Whenever the She Clan makes a move, its a great move indeed. You really uprooted Wang Ke and his clan. Not even a shopkeeper or an employee was able to escape! You killed them all, right? And now, the Golden Crow Sects Immortal Zhang is here, the She Clan will keep all five placents for entering the immortal sect to themselves. What a good strategy! How decisive! You have profited so much. What do you want to get from gathering us here today? an elder said with an unpleasant face.
She Tianba replied with a black face, Clan Lords of the Zhu Cultivation Town, you really think that I killed Wang Ke?
All the Clan Lords were confused as they looked at She Tianba. The previous nightwhen Zhang Zhengdao arrived posing as a fake disciple from the Golden Crow Secthe did not encounter anyone else. No one knew about Zhang Zhengdao, much less about how She Tianba had been played for a fool.
Still, things were different that day. The She Clan mbers guided the Golden Crow Sects disciple and showed him around town. All the town knew about this.
That coincided with the disappearance of Wang Kes clan, which made it apparent that it was all She Tianbas sche to reap all the rewards and be the one with the most gains. Every Clan Lord was envious of him.
Now, all the major shop owners and rchants are planning among themselves to recover the money they invested in those financial products, and theyre holding you accountable, She Tianba. We all live in the Zhu Cultivation Town. You destroyed the Wang Clan and plundered all of their wealth in plain view, which is okay. But, dont you think youre being too greedy? You should at least return the money we paid for our financial products, dont you think? a Clan Lord said with a deep voice.
She Tianba was exasperated. Wang Ke scamd you and youre trying to settle accounts with ?I dont owe you guys anything! Only then did She Tianba realize that Wang Ke had left him a huge ss.
Everyone, things are different from what youre thinking! She Tianba tried to clarify with a deep voice of his own.
Oh? Everyone said with clear distrust.
She Tianba sighed lightly and told them everything that happened in the past two days. All the Clan Lords were stunned after hearing the events that transpired.
You an you caught the real Princess Youyue, but Wang Ke swindled the princess from you with a fake Princess Youyue? one of the Clan Lords asked in shock.
Yes, Wang Ke is a liar. He ca to our Zhu Cultivation Town with an evil sche! He cheated to get your money. He cheated out of my five placents to enter the Golden Crow Sect! She Tianba snarled.
All the Clan Lords looked at She Tianba with a peculiar gaze; it seed that no one believed him. Are you making up a story?
She Tianba cursed and swore oaths to show that he was telling the truth. He also showed all the evidence to everyone. Only then did he manage to half-convince everyone.
During the recent days, you guys continuously sent n to snatch Princess Youyue from the Wang Clan at night, but Wang Ke killed them all. Then he sold the corpses back to you at an exorbitant price. Dont you hate him? The Wang Clan was able to do this because they have so fighting power. If our She Clan wanted to obliterate them, how cos there were neither noises nor blood in the premises? You all went to check out the Wang Clan mansion, right? Did you see any blood? Didnt you see the underground tunnel? She Tianba continued to explain.
The group finally began to believe him.
Wang Ke is a downright scoundrel! He scamd so much money from with his financial product... He killed my nephews, and even sold their bodies back to at sky high prices! Such a heinous cri! Unforgivable!
Finally, all the Clan Lords believed She Tianbas explanations. While they were expressing their hatred toward Wang Ke, they were also sympathizing with She Tianba, who really lost big ti.
A Clan Lord suddenly looked at She Tianba and said.I get it now! Wang Ke fooled you with a fake Golden Crow Sects disciple! And now, a real disciple from the Golden Crow Sect ca to your place. Wouldnt that an!
She Tianbas face grew bitter.
Clan Lord She, is the Golden Crow Sects disciple that arrived today also called Immortal Zhang? Would that be! another Clan Lord asked with deep concern.
Impossible. If hes also fake, how can his surna also be Zhang? Moreover, he has the jade pendant from my nephew as an authentication item. It cant be wrong this ti. This Immortal Zhang is the real one! She Tianba affird bitterly.
Then, what are you going to do now? You lost the person Immortal Zhang wants, wouldnt that...! a Clan Lord said curiously.
This is exactly why Ive gathered all of you here! She Tianba tried to clarify with a deep voice.
Oh? everyone said with interest.
She Tianba took a deep breath and said, Ive reported everything truthfully to Immortal Zhang. The real Immortal Zhang was indeed furious, but he finally relented and gave another chance after my persistent pleas!
Oh?
She Tianba said after taking a deep breath, Immortal Zhang said he can delay his report to the Golden Crow Sect, as long as we can recapture Princess Youyue before he returns to the Golden Crow Sect; he can pretend as if nothing ever happened!
A Clan Lord nodded and said, Oh? Immortal Zhang is really easy to negotiate with. No wonder Clan Lord She sent everyone out to search for Wang Ke and Princess Youyue!
Wang Ke and everyone who escaped with him had less than a day to flee. They cant be far I want to invite everyone to send your clan mbers to search together! She Tianba said solemnly.
Invite us to search together? All the Clan Lords expressions changed.
Yes. I will reserve one of the five placents for the Golden Crow Sect. Whichever clan finds Princess Youyue, I will hand it as a gift to that clan! She Tianba said in a serious tone
Everyones eyes glowed, Hahaha! How could we ever turn down your request, Clan Lord She! Dont worry, well send all our n to search for them! Even if we have to dig a few ters underground, we will do it!
Wang Ke had a fair amount of clan mbers; finding one would an finding Princess Youyue. And the finder would receive a placent for the Golden Crow Sect, along with the money scamd by Wang Ke. All the Clan Lords were rubbing their fists in exhilaration, itching to move out imdiately.
All your support makes feel even more assured! said She Tianba with a peal of laughter.
Although the She Clan was the most powerful cultivation clan in the Zhu Cultivation Town, their manpower was limited after all. It wasnt at all compared to the combined strength of all the clans. The more people they had, the more likely they could find the princess.
That shouldn't be delayed any longer. Well make arrangents imdiately! a Clan Lord said.
Hold on! Hold on, theres one more thing! She Tianba smiled bitterly.
Oh?
Although Immortal Zhang allowed to fix the problem, it cos with a cost! She Tianba smiled bitterly.
I knew it. The Golden Crow Sects disciples are never easy to negotiate with. He was definitely bribed by your very own She Clan, right? a Clan Lord asked in laughter.
Yes, She Tianba replied with a bitter laughter, I promised him... 200,000 pounds worth of spirit stones!
200,000 pounds? All the Clan Lords were aghast as they cried out.
The She Clan is that rich?
But how can the She Clan afford this much money! I gathered all of my clans wealth, and it was only 50,000 pounds. I really need your help to figure out how to handle the remaining 150,000 pounds! She Tianba laughed bitterly.
Our help? Do you think we have the money? All the Clan Lords shook their heads imdiately.
Take it as if I, She Tianba, would have borrowed from all of you. I will make use of all the She Clans properties, treasures, and weapons to hold as a pledge to all of you. I will also return with 20% interest. How about that?
She Tianba looked at everyone.
Clan Lord She, if your clan doesnt have that much money, you shouldnt try to bribe Immortal Zhang with that large amount! a Clan Lord said, laughing bitterly.
She Tianba looked at everyone and asked earnestly, A Golden Crow Sects disciple has seen bigger sums of money than this! At first, I only asked for 50,000 pounds worth of spirit stone, but Immortal Zhang flung his sleeves and wanted to leave imdiately. I... I had no choice but to promise 200,000 pounds.
That is why Im here asking for your help. If you guys are still worried, how about using three placents into the Golden Crow Sect as a pledge? As long as I pass this trial, I will return everyones contributions along with the interests. If I cannot, then the three placents will be yours. I can swear an oath with Immortal Zhang as our witness. Does that work? The Clan Lords looked at each other.
Although 150,000 pounds of spirit stones was a massive amount, there were many cultivation clans gathered in She Tianbas place. If they were able to contribute all their savings, they would manage to put together the required amount, but!
