Chapter 978: Chapter 676: Overthrowing the Rules, Ascending to the Skies in One Step_2
But a soldier stumbled in with bloodstains, breaking into the City Lord Mansion.
“It’s bad, my lord, that group of robbers has directly taken over the Spirit Mine!”
The Tianyang City Lord abruptly stood up after hearing this: “What? How many of them are there? How could they possibly take over the Spirit Mine, are you all just loafers?”
“My lord may not know, there are about two thousand of them, and they attacked us so suddenly that it was impossible to respond, it’s already been conquered, my lord, what should we do?”
This Demon Soldier was almost in tears.
Besides the Tianyang City Lord, the other two also naturally received the sa news.
Only the Youzhou City Lord stood on the city tower, unafraid.
On this day, Wang Yang brought Du Feng to the Spirit Mine.
Upon seeing Wang Yang, everyone lowered their heads in respect.
“Greetings, my lord!”
“Greetings, master!”
Voices resounded around the Spirit Mine, if the Three Cities’ Lords saw this scene, they would find it unbelievable.
“Riches are sought in danger.”
Wang Yang surprisingly took out an elixir, whose rich aura drove everyone crazy.
“This elixir is not enough to let you break through to the celestial Demon Realm, but it is more than sufficient to reach the Half-Step Celestial Demon Realm.”
Everyone knew that what Wang Yang was going to say next was certainly very important.
“There is only one elixir, if you dare, swallow it, but the person who swallows this elixir must hold out to the very end.”
The elixir in Wang Yang’s hand radiated light, exciting the Demon Chiefs.
But the Demon Chiefs were not fools and asked: “Your Majesty, in theory, holding this Spirit Mine should be extrely simple, no?”
“Simple?”
Wang Yang shook his head and smiled: “You must know how significant this Spirit Mine is to the Four Cities, even if they lose countless talents, they will surely reclaim the Spirit Mine.”
The Demon Chiefs couldn’t understand Wang Yang’s course of action, why endure when it is known the place will be reclaid?
Moreover, why offer such an elixir as temptation?
Wang Yang could see their confusion and explained: “The reason for holding out is to make them pay dearly; if the Spirit Mine is easily taken, what aning does our occupation have?”
Among them, a Demon Chief figured it out: “I understand, Your Majesty’s intention is to deplete so of their forces, forcing them to ask the Youzhou City Lord to assist!”
Wang Yang nodded approvingly: “Exactly, once they lose significant troops, Youzhou City will be preserved, in such a scenario, the Four Cities will no longer have the qualification to negotiate with Youzhou City, all will be under our control.”
With a flick, the elixir in Wang Yang’s hand floated mid-air before being seized by a Demon Chief.
“I am willing to hold out to the last mont!”
This Demon Chief swallowed the elixir without hesitation, and his aura surged!
Seeing the strength skyrocketed so rapidly, others were envious, blaming themselves for hesitating.
“Rember, they will inevitably send countless experts to besiege you, if you can’t hold till the last, it just ans your fortune has ended, if you endure, what the Spirit Mine yields during this period is yours!”
Wang Yang’s words drove the Demon Chiefs into madness.
The mining output during this ti wasn’t enormous, but certainly not trivial either!
If it could all be theirs, the sum would be considerable.
Seeing this frenzy, Wang Yang knew he had achieved his goal and left with Du Feng.
On their return, Du Feng had so questions: “My lord, I have two unresolved points.”
“Oh? Which two?”
Wang Yang asked with a smile.
“The first point, though this can make the Three Cities pay a certain price, we ourselves also suffer great losses, it is not the best plan.”
Wang Yang nodded: “And the second point?”
Du Feng continued: “Although I know you, my lord, have plans in mind, with your capability, you could have taken control of the other three cities and installed Puppet City Lords, so why go through all this effort?”
Wang Yang halted, looking at Du Feng: “For the first point, you need to understand, what is our ultimate goal?”
Du Feng fell into a deep thought, as he didn’t know Wang Yang’s ultimate goal.
“We do not rest with the Four Cities of Weishui River, but aim far beyond, if we can’t produce a force with strong bloodline, how do we expand?”
“In the end, you are not a formal army, just a bunch of robbers claiming authority, don’t you think so?”
Du Feng suddenly realized, no wonder Wang Yang used such a life-threatening way to incentivize.
Just to foster competition and let them feel the pressure.
“As for the second point.” Wang Yang gradually spoke: “Let tell you a story.”
Du Feng perked up his ears, every ti Wang Yang told him stories, he would gain lots of knowledge and insights.
“This story is brief and simple, in a distant kingdom, emperors grant lands to ritorious officials, but eventually, these officials beco arrogant with their achievents, turning the emperors into re puppet rulers.”
Du Feng was puzzled: “But with your, my lord’s ability, who would dare to flaunt their achievents and turn you into a puppet?”
“What you see is only the surface, all things suffer wear over ti, although it can’t be avoided, I want to minimize it.”
Wang Yang explained patiently: “If I make all those City Lords into puppets, then whom should I have as Puppet City Lords?”
Wang Yang pointed at Du Feng: “Should all be your subordinates?”
Du Feng shook his head: “Certainly not, given the expanded team, if they are all from my Thousand Peaks Mountain, they will surely have objections.”
“If it is people from other factions, this will divide our efforts imnsely, and those enjoying power may easily grow rebellious.”
Wang Yang smiled and said,
“True and false, false and true, though they are fake City Lords, once they comply with higher authorities, they beco true.”
Du Feng clasped his hands: “What you said makes sense; I hadn’t considered, even if we can suppress them, it would cost us considerable effort and may lose many people, resulting in wear.
“You realizing this isn’t easy, you’ll be my chief lieutenant from now on.”
Wang Yang took out an elixir from sowhere, handing it to Du Feng: “This elixir can help you reach the celestial Demon Realm within a year, you shall command all subordinates except .”
With the elixir in hand, Du Feng’s eyes lit up brilliantly.
The first to follow Wang Yang indeed reaped vast benefits.
Though his strength was close to celestial Demon, yet without a powerful Cultivation Technique.
Without a master to guide him, crossing this hurdle was extrely difficult.
Now, with Wang Yang’s elixir, it could be easily overco, reaching for the skies in one step!
But this also made Du Feng realize, soone as formidable as Wang Yang, he would live in his shadow for life.
But so what?
Living in Wang Yang’s shadow was better than under the Demon Clan’s ridiculous system.
Those with superior bloodline could slaughter at will, while those inferior could only be slaves all their lives.
How does such reasoning exist in this world?
Holding the elixir, Du Feng felt an imnse heaviness in his heart.
He always hoped to reach the celestial Demon Realm, yet now that it’s near, it feels complicated.
“This is only just the beginning, there are many journeys awaiting us.”
With his hands behind his back, Wang Yang slowly walked out of the Spirit Mine’s confines, and Du Feng quickly followed behind.
