In many cases, profit and reputation were integrated. If one had profit, he would have a reputation. If one had a reputation, he would have profit. It was similar to how people enriched their family and how people pa.s.sed the imperial examination. Sometimes, profit and reputation were contradictory which couldn"t be gained at the same time. If one wanted a reputation, he had to lose some interest; if one wanted profit, he had to be shameless. It was similar to how one borrowed money from his relatives and friends and how fair ladies were forced to earn a living by prost.i.tution or singing.
Everyone wanted profit and reputation at the same time. However, in many cases, people would get into trouble through clever means. In the eyes of the others, they were their undeserved gain for granted; especially when a donkey blackmailed people in a lion"s hide, it"s not easy for it to gain some profit, not to mention save its reputation.
If that fire immortal general gifted by Star Emperor Immortal Palace was taken as profit, the means that Zhang Tie adopted to save his reputation could match that of a master-level powerhouse. He only said one sentence which won Yuan Lang"s admiration at a stroke——"I wonder whether Star Emperor Immortal Palace has discovered something in investigating Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Woods Medium-sized Domain or now?"
Yuan Lan realized that His Majesty Dragon Emperor was pretty generous and deeply conscious of the righteousness of a cause.
Zhang Tie didn"t mention compensation anymore; nor did he care about the sharp difference between the Star Emperor Immortal Palace"s compensation and his demand. He directly ignored that demon fire immortal general and the mistake of Star Emperor; instead, he asked the intelligence about Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and Demon Emperor.
This sentence sounded pretty proficient. Yuan Lang realized that Zhang Tie was talking about it as a human leader. The meaning between lines was that let the bygones be bygones given the crisis from Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and the chaotic situation facing Motian Realm.
After hearing Zhang Tie"s words, Yuan Lang admired him pretty much; because this was what Yuan Lang had planned to say when Zhang Tie was not satisfied with the compensation of Star Emperor Immortal Palace——Your Majesty, as Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and demons are casting covetous eyes on us, we should not allow two major human immortal palaces to go against each other because of such a minor misunderstanding at this critical moment.
Unimaginably, Zhang Tie spoke it earlier than Yuan Lang. This meant an utterly different result. Yuan Lang immediately understood the meaning between lines.
After hearing Zhang Tie"s question, the envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace chested out and straightened up his upper body at once as his eyes carried more respect. "Woods Medium-sized Domain is already rotten to the core. The power of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace has already penetrated through Woods Medium-sized Domain, including so many clans and immortal palaces such as Si Clan and Heavenly Suns.h.i.+ne Immortal Palace. Superficially, Woods Medium-sized Domain was shared by many forces; actually, it has long been controlled by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. What Dark Emperor Immortal Palace did in Woods Medium-sized Domain covered up their sinister motives. They were brutal and b.l.o.o.d.y. In order to control those human clans and immortal palaces, they could choose every means just like how demons do!"
"Do you know which demon emperor is on the back of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace?"
"This point is still uncertain. However, some items that Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace discovered in Woods Medium-sized Domain brought people great shock and fear. Combining with the intelligence from all parties, Dark Emperor Immortal Palace might have already mastered a secret method to turn immortal generals into puppets. It should be a very occult rune skill!"
"Golden-Soul Rune Virus?"
"Yes, that secret method is Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Two disciples of Star Emperor Immortal Palace being imprisoned by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace heard those officers in the dungeon say that they would execute sacred sacrifice for a batch of immortal generals whom a grand justice and an elder have just caught using Golden-Soul Rune Virus. After the sacred sacrifice, those immortal generals might become the puppets of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. According to the disciples of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, that batch of immortal generals contained more than 20 people. All of them were caught from Nine Heavenly Big Domain."
"Ah? They were caught from Nine Heavens Big Domain by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity, "If any clan or immortal palace in Nine Heavenly Big Domain suddenly lost so many immortal generals, they would have long been in chaos. Why didn"t I hear that any clan or immortal palace in Nine Heavenly Big Domain lost so many immortal generals recently?"
"Your Majesty, you could never imagine that. Those immortal generals being caught by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace were superficially subordinate to Force Emperor Immortal Palace; however, they were actually the remains of Yin-Yang Sect being wanted by Force Emperor Immortal Palace. I"ve not imagined that the remains of Yin-Yang Sect have already joined Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City, Nine Heavens Big Domain over these years. Besides, the head of Yin-Yang Sect even became the head of the branch of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City. Yin-Yang Sect turned the most dangerous place into the safest place. Such a trick was really admirable..."
"No way, how could the remains of Yin-Yang Sect join Force Emperor Immortal Palace?"
"This intelligence is definitely true. Force Emperor Immortal Palace really lost their face greatly this time. Although the remains of Yin-Yang Sect are hiding in Force Emperor Immortal Palace, Dark Emperor Immortal Palace completely ruined the branch of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City. Additionally, they even took away some disciples of Force Emperor Immortal Palace over there. As a result, Force Emperor Immortal Palace was infuriated as they a.s.signed a large batch of powers to Woods Medium-sized Domain and intended to turn Woods Medium-sized Domain upside down. Furthermore, they even used 1 million element crystals as a reward for catching the immortal generals of Si Clan and Si Dan the forbear of Si Clan."
After hearing Yuan Lang"s words, Zhang Tie looked solemn. After a short silence, he opened his mouth in a dignified way, "Now that Dark Emperor Immortal Palace could use Golden-Soul Rune Virus to control immortal generals, I wonder whether Star Emperor Immortal Palace has discovered immortal generals being controlled by Golden-Soul Rune Virus?"
Yuan Lang said with a bitter smile as he shook his head, "As of now, I only know the existence of Golden-Soul Rune Virus. As for the look of Golden-Soul Rune Virus, n.o.body has seen it. Nor do we know the features of immortal generals being controlled by Golden-Soul Rune Virus and the testing method. His Majesty Star Emperor thought that Golden-Soul Rune Virus should be living in one"s mind sea and brain. The people being affected by this virus didn"t look abnormal; however, when you immerse in their mind sea using your spiritual energy, you might be able to sense the existence of the Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Although we"ve not caught the immortal generals of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, His Majesty Star Emperor has already called many rune experts to study the principle of Golden-Soul Rune Virus and work out a solution to detoxify it. Force Emperor Immortal Palace should be doing the same thing!"
"The rune skill of Golden-Soul Rune Virus might be the key clue for discovering the culprit on the back of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. There should be only a few ones in Motian Realm who could reach such a high level in rune expertise, humans or demons..."
"Yes, His Majesty Star Emperor has the same opinion as Your Majesty. Additionally, His Majesty Star Emperor said that if Rune Emperor was still alive, he would probably be the one who could produce Golden-Soul Rune Virus. However, Rune Emperor has already died. Therefore, the one who has gained the Tadpole Rune Sutra of Rune Emperor probably produced Golden-Soul Rune Virus. His Majesty Star Emperor doubted that the one on the back of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace might be Versatile Demon Emperor, the quirkiest and trickiest one among demons. Versatile Demon Emperor excelled at a.s.sa.s.sinating influential humans and overthrowing human immortal palaces. We"ve not seen Versatile Demon Emperor for so many years. Therefore, Versatile Demon Emperor might be the culprit on the back of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. If it"s true, the news of the discovery of Tadpole Rune Sutra and immortal outfits in Dark Valley might be a trap..."
Yuan Lang watched Zhang Tie seriously as he continued, "His Majesty Star Emperor asked me to warn Your Majesty that there might be moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Although it"s boisterous in Dark Valley, it"s not suitable for us to spend too many efforts in searching Tadpolde Rune Sutra and the immortal outfits left by Rune Emperor.
Zhang Tie agreed with Star Emperor"s judgment at least no matter whether Star Emperor was sincere or not. As Zhang Tie thought the same, he released the news that Demon Emperor controlled Dark Emperor Immortal Palace loudly disguised as Donder the handsome man in Si Clan"s castle.
"I appreciate Star Emperor"s good-intentioned warning. I will pay attention to it. We three major human immortal palaces should join hands with each other and communicate with each other timely so as to eliminate evil forces and maintain the stable situation of humans in Motian Realm facing the threat from Dark Emperor Immortal Palace no matter whether demons are on the back of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace or not.
After hearing Zhang Tie"s words, Yuan Lang revealed a smile at once as he asked tentatively, "Speaking of communicating with each other timely, I was told that Your Majesty sold 100,000 vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament to Emperor NvWa"s Palace yesterday. It"s said that the Dragon Emperor Medicament has marvelous effects. I wonder..."
"If you want to know the effects of Dragon Emperor Medicament, the best way is to try it yourself. I will gift Star Emperor Immortal Palace 2,000 vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament. You could take back and try it..."
Yuan Lang became thrilled at once as he replied, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
"Pleasure. Courtesy demands reciprocity. Hopefully, from now on, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace could entirely forget old grudges and join hands with each other for a bright future!"
"That"s what I wanted to say!" Yuan Lang nodded as he added, "I wonder whether Star Emperor Immortal Palace could purchase Dragon Emperor Medicament from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace or not in the future!"
"Emperor NvWa"s position is special in Motian Realm. We only sell Dragon Emperor Medicament to Emperor NvWa"s Palace!" Zhang Tie said as he found that Yuan Lang had slightly changed his face, "But if Star Emperor Immortal Palace wants more Dragon Emperor Medicament in the future, you could attend the auction. Except for those vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament that we sold to Emperor NvWa"s Palace, I will sell the other Dragon Emperor Medicament in terms of the auction!"
"Could you please specify the procedure of auction, Your Majesty?"
Zhang Tie then explained the auction rules that he had designed to Yuan Lang.
After hearing Zhang Tie"s explanation, Yuan Lang heaved a deep sigh at once. If the effects of Dragon Emperor Medicament were really that marvelous, Star Emperor Immortal Palace would not worry about buying Dragon Emperor Medicament in terms of the auction. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace couldn"t get them through auction, the other immortal palaces wouldn"t get them either. However, what shocked Yuan Lang and made him confused was how Zhang Tie produced 1 million vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament? Generally speaking, the more precious the items were, the fewer they would be. How did Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace realize such a ma.s.s production?
Whereas, it should be the top-secret of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Additionally, given its name, Yuan Lang realized that this medicament might be related to Grand Dragon Emperor.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Therefore, Yuan Lang didn"t ask about the details of Dragon Emperor Medicament anymore.
...
After chatting with Zhang Tie in Yangxin Palace for a short while and completed his mission successfully, Yuan Lang bade farewell to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie asked Leng Manxue to have people carry the huge iron safe to his cultivation backroom the moment Yuan Lang left there.
Because the huge iron safe contained spiritual strength, it would definitely take Zhang Tie more than one day to fully absorb it. Yesterday, after killing Grand Justice Qian and the other lackeys of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie gained a fruit of brilliance which he had not eaten yet. Additionally, he had not fully refined the fire chakras that he absorbed using Purgatory Samsara Method a few days ago. Now, he got one more demon fire immortal general. Such a high rhythm made Zhang Tie feel pretty happy. If he could enjoy such a special treatment every day, Zhang Tie was confident to promote to a semi-sage level knight by the end of this year. What a rocketing speed!
...
After Yuan Lang left there for less than 2 minutes, a group of people had poured into Yangxin Palace.
Watching the solemn and s.h.i.+ny eyes of those elders and presidents, Zhang Tie said before Guan Minjun opened his mouth, "I will allocate the 100,000 element crystals to Earth-Treasures Department. Today, each of you could take back 100 vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament and try their effects. Tomorrow, I will show you around the production base of Dragon Emperor Medicament. After knowing these, you will not be worried about the supply of element crystals in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace anymore. From now on, Dragon Emperor Medicament will bring steady income to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace..."
After hearing Zhang Tie"s words, those people entering Yangxin Palace exchanged a glance with each other as they became silent at once...
Right then, Leng Manxue had some people carry boxes of Dragon Emperor Medicament into Yangxin Palace.
...
Seeing them off, sitting on the major chair of Yangxin Palace, Zhang Tie"s eyes shone icily and solemnly——we will know the moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace tomorrow.
