Chapter 564: Accident!
Accident! . . .
"Don\'t take it as an order. I just want to give you some words. Opportunity never waits. When it is gone, it never comes back!" Cha Eun Xiao grinned as he imparted this wisdom. "One more thing. After a month, Ling-Bao Hall will hold another auction. There will be more supreme dan beads on sale… If you are still interested, prepare more money or resources. I am sure you will get what you wish for," he added with a smile. "It is still a secret by far. Only me and you guys know it."
Their eyes lit up at the prospect. This was a God-given opportunity that Feng Monarch had just presented to them.
Faced with the turmoil in the two great sects, the noble clans knew that their actions would primarily target Ling-Bao Hall. They realized that they lacked the power to confront other forces. As long as Ling-Bao Hall remained strong, the two sects wouldn\'t pose a threat to other factions. The ongoing conflict between Ling-Bao Hall and the two sects created the perfect environment for the noble clans to assert their influence.
The acquisition of supreme dan beads would enable them to cultivate a new generation of prodigies quickly. While noble clans had obtained some supreme dan beads in the previous auction, they eagerly sought to acquire more. After all, who wouldn\'t want to enhance their clan\'s talent pool?
Unlike the previous auction, where the noble clans scrambled to gather funds, they now had two months to prepare. They could accumulate a substantial amount of money and resources, increasing their chances of securing more supreme dan beads in the upcoming auction.
Cha Eun Xiao then revealed another crucial piece of information: "One more thing. I have been reaching the cultivation limit of Land of Han-Yang. When I step off this world, I will never return. In other words, I will be leaving Land of Han-Yang at any time… I won\'t stay in this world for a long time. One thing can be sure, however, when I leave, there will be no more new supreme dan beads in this world."
Long Tianyun and his companions were left in silent contemplation. They understood the gravity of Cha Eun Xiao\'s words and the unique opportunity he had offered them.
[If Feng Monarch departs and there are no more supreme dan beads, we will become the sole possessors of a new generation of geniuses. Our clans will undoubtedly rise to prominence in the world! Even if the two great sects persist, they will have been crippled by Feng Monarch\'s actions... Does this conversation signify the bright future of our clans?]
Long Tianyun expressed his gratitude, stating, "If we five clans can have a bright future, you are the person we should always be grateful to, Feng Monarch!" They bowed with their hands folded in front. "We won\'t forget your great kindness!" With those words, they took their leave.
Wan Zhenghao appeared and praised Cha Eun Xiao, saying, "Monarch, I admire you so much… What you just said would definitely make them give all their money. They might even take out significant loans to purchase your dan beads, and they will be grateful to you… Hahaha."
Cha Eun Xiao, with his eyes half-closed, responded, "You are wrong. You are too selfish in your thinking. They are grateful because they feel it. They feel it now, and they will feel it then. I am offering them this opportunity to truly rise within the next thousands of years. If they miss it, it won\'t come back."
Wan Zhenghao nodded in understanding, and Cha Eun Xiao fell into deep thought. He contemplated the people he would leave behind – friends, brothers, subordinates, his father\'s soldiers, and relatives. It was a significant number of individuals who relied on him for support.
As Cha Eun Xiao considered his departure, he realized the importance of maintaining a good relationship with the five clans and helping them rise quickly. In the future, they could reciprocate the favor to the people he cared for in this world. That was his ultimate goal.
After all, Ling-Bao Hall had only just begun to exact its revenge with an expenditure of five hundred billion. It was just the beginning of a new era.
It was clear to Cha Eun Xiao that his recent actions had struck fear into the hearts of many in this world, dissuading them from harming his people. He considered these precautions as part of his preparations for his impending departure.
These considerations and measures were very much a reflection of his current state of mind.
...
After the representatives of the five clans bid farewell to Ling-Bao Hall, the members of the other three clans showed their appreciation to Long Tianyun with heartfelt gratitude. They bowed in respect and said, "Thank you, Master Long, for your kindness!"
In response, Long Tianyun smiled and humbly replied, "No need. We are on the same boat. We should look after each other no matter what."
The representatives of the other three clans nodded in agreement. With this, the five clans united under the leadership of the Long Clan.
They were well aware that from the moment they entered Ling-Bao Hall, it was Long Tianyun who had consistently made astute decisions and led them to the opportunities for advancement. They were genuinely thankful for his leadership.
Despite the likelihood of future conflicts and competition among the clans, they would always remember the shared experiences and bonds formed during their time together.
...
In the present moment, assassins from Ling-Bao Hall were executing their missions throughout the land.
Cha Eun Xiao found himself without any companions as he left Ling-Bao Hall, choosing to exercise great caution. In reality, such precautions weren\'t necessary. Since Feng Zhiling had assumed control of Ling-Bao Hall, he had achieved a nearly impeccable record. Any attempt on his life resulted in resounding shockwaves across the world. Thousands of assassins fell before his three poison strikes, and even renowned figures like Bu Jingtian, known as the No. 1 Cultivator, met their demise.
In the Land of Han-Yang, there was no one else capable of such feats.
Anyone who dared to challenge Feng Zhiling was, in essence, inviting their own death.
However, reality often had an uncanny way of springing surprises. For instance...
As Feng Zhiling ventured through an alley and contemplated removing his disguise, a sense of foreboding washed over him. An intense feeling of impending danger engulfed him, much like encountering a formidable tiger in the depths of a dark, ancient forest. He hadn\'t laid eyes on anyone yet, but his entire body was tingling with alarm.
[This must be... the presence of a highly skilled superior cultivator!]
