This Is So Vast Heaven Holy Land, So Chu Xinghe!
Vast Heaven Holy Land...
Having received instructions from the eight Evil Lords, Wu Man has been keeping a close eye on everything related to the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet these past few days.
But Wu Man was completely bewildered once she started paying attention...
Chu Xinghe n't use any of the countermeasures that the eight Evil Lords speculated he might employ...
Even more outrageous is that Chu Xinghe, without a word, instigated the Ming Clan to increase the sales of puppets?
Wu Man said that he was no longer just unable to understand, he was completely baffled.
Therefore, Wu Man immediately reported what had happened to the eight Evil Lords.
After hearing what Wu Man said, the eight clan leaders remained silent for almost half an hour.
Even White Spirit Evil Lord of the Evil Shadow Continent, was completely dumbfounded at this moment...
White Spirit Evil Lord stated that from the beginning, he had speculated that Chu Xinghe would take over the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet because Chu Xinghe might possess some special ancient secret technique that could stop the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet from devouring its prey.
White Spirit Evil Lord, had considered various methods Chu Xinghe might use, but he never expected Chu Xinghe to resort to this.
Even the White Spirit Evil Lord had to admit that Chu Xinghe's tactics had completely baffled him...
"What exactly is Chu Xinghe up to...?" White Spirit Evil Lord, was filled with questions.
"That's right. Every additional puppet adds to the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet's resources. Under these circumstances, why is Chu Xinghe still instructing the Ming Clan to sell even more puppets? I don't understand his methods..."
"I've long heard that Chu Xinghe's moves are always unpredictable and mysterious. What exactly is Chu Xinghe planning this time...?"
"Do you think it's possible... that Chu Xinghe simply wants to deplete the resources of their Vast Heaven Holy Land... the more resources Vast Heaven Holy Land consumes, the more excited Chu Xinghe becomes?" the Heart-Devouring Evil Lord chimed in from the side.
But in return, he received disdainful looks from a group of Evil Lords.
Because you, the Heart-Devouring Evil Lord, don't you want to listen to yourself? Is that even human language?
The eight Evil Lords discussed for a full hour, and their final conclusion was... let's Watch Quietly as Things Change...
Given the current situation, we in the Evil Shadow Continent can't even be said to have a perfect start; we practically have victory in our grasp...
How could we possibly lose when our Taiyin Progenitor Puppet is right on top of us!
So no matter what Chu Xinghe's series of actions are all about, there is absolutely no possibility of turning the tide.
We, the Evil Shadow Continent, will also choose to Watch Quietly as Things Change and see how Chu Xinghe can defy fate in this situation!
The eight Evil Lords' order to the Wu Man was: don't meddle...
You, Wu Man, should choose to Watch Quietly as Things Change. With victory in our grasp, sometimes doing too much might lead to mistakes, so doing nothing is actually the right choice.
Wu Man also obeyed the orders of the eight clan leaders. Every day in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Wu Man happily chatted about all kinds of gossip. Of course, Wu Man was also paying close attention to the movements of the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet. As required by the eight Evil Lords, Wu Man would inform them of any possible changes to the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet as soon as possible.
In the Spirit Beast Continent, all the puppet shops of the Ming Clan have reopened.
However, with the opening of the Ming Clan, it was discovered that the prices of puppets in the Ming Clan's puppet shop had dropped significantly.
Upon seeing such a significant price reduction, the first reaction from all sides was: had something gone wrong with the puppets of the Ming Clan?
Otherwise, why would the Ming Clan lower the price?
However, the Ming Clan provided an explanation for the speculations from all sides in the shortest possible time.
The Ming Clan stated that all the puppets in their puppet shop would remain unchanged in terms of function and other attributes. The reason for the price reduction was that the Ming Clan had partnered with the Vast Heaven Holy Land to sell their Ming Clan to all parts of the Three Continents, allowing all parties in the Three Continents to use the Ming Clan's puppets.
The news of the collaboration between the Ming Clan and the Vast Heaven Holy Land on puppetry has evoked mixed feelings from all sides.
Upon hearing this news, the Clan Head Hua looked at Hua Xichen with a helpless expression and said... "Xichen, I told you long ago to go to the Vast Heaven Holy Land to cooperate with Chu Xinghe, but you wouldn't listen..."
See... now the Ming Clan has beaten them to it, hasn't they?
Everyone knows that wherever Chu Xinghe goes, immense wealth and prosperity follow. Given your relationship with Chu Xinghe, shouldn't that immense wealth and prosperity have fallen on our Hua Clan?
But now that the Ming Clan has made the first move, this immense wealth will fall into their Ming Clan.
But Hua Xichen shook his head at his father's words, indicating that the matter was not so simple...
"Long before the Ming Clan came to our Hua Clan to borrow resources, I used the Great Prophecy Art to foretell for the Ming Clan... that their Taiyin Progenitor Puppet has encountered a problem..."
Others may not know what exactly happened to the Ming Clan, since only the highest-ranking members of the Ming Clan know that the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet is malfunctioning.
Even though various clans have spies infiltrated the Ming Clan, to be honest, the spies haven't reached that level yet.
Therefore, although outsiders knew that the puppets of the Ming Clan seemed to be malfunctioning, they did not know exactly what the problem was.
Some people previously speculated that the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet of the Ming Clan might be entering hibernation again.
After all, in the history of the Ming Clan, there have indeed been instances where the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet has entered a period of dormancy. In such cases, there are generally two solutions. The first is to allow the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet to enter a period of normal dormancy, after which it will naturally return to normal once it has absorbed enough Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from Taiyin Progenitor Puppet and earth.
It's hard to pinpoint the exact time. In the history of the Ming Clan, the longest period lasted about three years, during which the Ming Clan suffered immensely.
However, the Ming Clan later discovered that as long as they supplied the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet with enough resources when it began to enter hibernation to absorb the power of heaven and earth, the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet could end its hibernation period early or not enter hibernation at all.
Therefore, considering the previous actions of the Ming Clan instructing their disciples to use puppets as little as possible and closing the puppet shop, the conclusion drawn from various sources is that the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet is likely to begin its hibernation.
The Clan Head Hua initially thought the same thing, since the Ming Clan coming to borrow resources did indeed seem like they were preparing resources for the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet to end its dormancy period.
But now, Hua Xichen has revealed the secret of Heavenly Secrets in a single sentence!
The Taiyin Progenitor Puppet of the Ming Clan did not enter a period of dormancy; rather, it underwent a terrifying change. Hua Xichen had previously deduced that the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet had begun to endlessly devour the resources of the Ming Clan.
Later, when Hua Xichen used the Great Prophecy Art to deduce the cause and effect of the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet, a very strange thing happened. No matter how Hua Xichen tried to deduce it, he only got chaotic information and could no longer get any useful information.
At that moment, Hua Xichen knew that it must have been Senior Brother Xinghe who made the move.
Currently, the only one who can completely neutralize the Great Prophecy Art is Senior Brother Xinghe. Once anything becomes entangled with Senior Brother Xinghe, the Great Prophecy Art can no longer predict any causal cycles.
Therefore, Hua Xichen boldly speculated that the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet was no longer with the Ming Clan, but had gone to the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
But when he heard the results of Hua Xichen's speculation and the information he had gathered, even the Clan Head Hua was dumbfounded.
"Xichen... According to you, the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet is like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring the resources of the Ming Clan, and the Ming Clan is helpless against it. Under these circumstances, why would Chu Xinghe take the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet from the Ming Clan?"
"Although the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet is indeed a treasure, the Vast Heaven Holy Land is not particularly skilled in Puppetry Art, so the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet is not of much significance to them. However, the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet can devour resources at any time, so isn't that a case of gaining more than losing?"
The Clan Head Hua looked blankly at Hua Xichen looked even more bewildered.
"If Senior Brother Xinghe's actions were so easily understood, he wouldn't be known as the unpredictable Chu Xinghe... Every move he makes seems completely illogical, but only after the final result do you realize that Senior Brother Xinghe's true intentions are actually this..."
Upon hearing Hua Xichen's words, even the Clan Head Hua couldn't help but nod in agreement, for this was indeed Chu Xinghe's style.
However, the Clan Head Hua still expressed his hope that Hua Xichen would spend more time with Chu Xinghe, after all, who wouldn't want such immense wealth and power...
Before the existence of the Holy Empress Ji Ya, it was indeed not easy for the Spirit Beast Continent to cooperate with the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
But now our Empress has become the Holy Empress in the Vast Heaven Holy Land... How can we not take advantage of such a good opportunity...?
Moreover, everyone knows about your relationship, Hua Xichen and Chu Xinghe. You should make the most of that relationship...
Regardless of what Little Hua was thinking, the moment the Ming Clan announced the new puppet prices, those who had previously purchased puppets from the Ming Clan were outraged.
We just bought the puppet, and the next thing you know, you lowered the price, and without reducing the features... Aren't you being a little too blatant in ripping us off?
Even if your Ming Clan wants to exploit others, at least consider the feelings of those being exploited...
The way you're fleecing us is outrageous! Even we, as the "leeks" (a metaphor for being exploited), think it's going too far!
The Ming Clan provided a solution to the anger of the many "leeks" (victims) on the same day.
We'll refund the entire price difference, and not just any refund, but a tenfold refund!
Facing the ten-fold refund model released by the Ming clan... all the leeks were so excited that they almost turned into leeks!
Wow, this tenfold refund is even more than the money I paid before...
This is tantamount to giving away puppets for free and then returning a sum of resources... This practice... is not at all like that of the Ming Clan...
This approach is very much in line with the Vast Heaven Holy Land... very much in line with Chu Xinghe!
As everyone knows, given the Ming Clan's Ming Clan nature, if they were to handle this matter, they would only do one of two things... First, they would simply ignore those Ming Clan targets.
Secondly, we should directly and forcefully suppress these "leeks" (victims) and clearly tell them... As a "leek," you should be prepared to be harvested after being exploited. What are you trying to do by jumping out and shouting?
But this time, the Ming Clan offered a tenfold refund for the price difference without a word... This is just too damn Vast Heaven Holy Land, too Chu Xinghe!
Isn't this always Chu Xinghe's style of doing things at Vast Heaven Holy Land?
Previously, some people doubted whether the Ming Clan's Ming Clan of cooperating with the Vast Heaven Holy Land was just nonsense, but now, with the news of a tenfold refund, everyone is completely relieved. There's no doubt about it; the Vast Heaven Holy Land has really gotten involved.
You may not trust the Ming Clan... but tell me, do you believe in the Vast Heaven Holy Land or not?
Just as the various investors were rushing to get refunds for the price difference, another piece of news came from the Ming Clan...
All the puppets sold by the Ming Clan this time have one outstanding quality: reliability. No matter what problems arise with any of the sold puppets, the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce will handle them personally.
