There's No Way to Make a Killing This Time!

As a member of the Vast Heaven Holy Land...

Ji Ya felt that she had not truly deserved the title of Holy Empress.

On the contrary, he has always been enjoying the benefits from the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

From the day Ji Ya married into the Vast Heaven Holy Land, if it weren't for the Vast Heaven Holy Land, he might never have had the chance to step into the realm of Half-Step Main God in his life.

It was precisely because of Xinghe's planning that I have achieved what I have today.

As for the matter concerning the Ming Clan, although the Vast Heaven Holy Land ultimately made a huge profit, Ji Ya knew that this huge profit had nothing to do with her or even the entire Ming Clan.

This was entirely Xinghe's doing, single-handedly scheming against the entire Evil Shadow Continent...

Regardless of whether the Vast Heaven Holy Land ultimately made a fortune through the Xinghe, at least in the initial situation, who didn't think the Ming Clan was doomed?

But in that situation, did Xinghe hesitate even for a moment?

Why would Xinghe help the Ming Clan?

In Ji Ya's view, it was because of her. After all, the Ming Clan was like her own family, while the Xinghe didn't support the Ming Clan, but rather herself, the Holy Empress of the Vast Heaven Holy Land...

So, looking at everything one by one, since I, Ji Ya, entered the Vast Heaven Holy Land, I have only been enjoying the benefits from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but I have not been able to do anything for the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Look at the others... Ma Liang and the others are alright, but now even Wu Man, the Holy Son of the Evil Spirit of the Wu Clan, has contributed more to the Vast Heaven Holy Land than I have.

In this situation Ji Ya said she couldn't accept it at all.

So these days, Ji Ya has been racking her brains every day to think about how to help Vast Heaven Holy Land and how to give Xinghe a surprise!

Countless times Ji Ya even prayed that a few fools would dare to provoke the Vast Heaven Holy Land, so that she Ji Ya, would have a chance to make a move...

The problem is... looking across the Three Continents, who the hell is crazy enough to provoke the Vast Heaven Holy Land?

So Ji Ya's wish could only remain unfulfilled...

But with the arrival of the Clan Head Ning, Ji Ya felt that her opportunity had come.

The opportunity to build the Vast Heaven Holy Land has finally come to me Ji Ya!

Now, I, as the Holy Empress, can finally openly declare that I have also made an immeasurable contribution to the Vast Heaven Holy Land...

Of course, Ji Ya said that it wasn't because she had forgotten her family after marrying her husband...

While it may seem that I'm helping the Vast Heaven Holy Land earn half of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring from the Ning Clan, I'm actually still helping the Ning Clan, okay?

After all, just look at the Clan Head Ning's face now; it's even uglier than a bitter gourd.

The Ning Clan has truly reached a dead end...

In this situation, if I, Ji Ya, don't act as an intermediary, tell me, is the Ning Clan doomed to complete destruction?

So, given the choice between complete destruction and losing half of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, but gaining the Dunjia Fire Book, Ji Ya believed that even if the Clan Head Ning had a brain full of tumors, he would know which to choose, right?

For the Ning Clan, who specialize in the Art of Qimen Dunjia, the Dunjia Fire Book is practically a divine artifact among divine artifacts. With the inheritance of the Dunjia Fire Book, the entire strength of the Ning Clan will undergo a qualitative leap.

And most importantly, Ji Ya knew that she absolutely could not tell Xinghe about this half of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring.

If the Clan Head Ning were to directly tell Xinghe now that the Ning Clan is willing to offer half of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring in exchange for Xinghe help, what would that be considered?

This is at most a transaction... The Clan Head Ning is simply paying Xinghe for help.

Even if the Ning Clan ultimately pays half of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, it's just the price they have to pay... Once the matter is over, everyone will part ways; it's merely a transaction.

But Ji Ya said that she was no longer the Queen of the Spirit Beast Continent, and that she had learned a lot at the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

If Xinghe hadn't known about the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring from the beginning, and after everything was over, the Ning Clan would have taken the initiative to offer half of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring of Vast Heaven Holy Land as a token of their gratitude.

In that case, it wouldn't be considered a transaction, but rather an expression of gratitude from the Ning Clan.

Does this mean the relationship between the Ning Clan and the Vast Heaven Holy Land has been eased?

So at this moment, Ji Ya was thinking, "Clan Head Ning, is your brain full of tumors now?"

Both involve taking out half of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, but there's a huge difference between taking it first and taking it later.

It must be said that Clan Head Ning's assessment of Ji Ya was spot on...

The Clan Head Ning said, "I trust the Empress. Just say what you want, and I'll do it!"

Chu Xinghe didn't know what Ji Ya and the Clan Head Ning were thinking. At this moment, Chu Xinghe was searching for the Clan Head Ning in the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Chu Xinghe was extremely anxious at this moment!

Didn't they say that Clan Head Ning was coming to our Vast Heaven Holy Land?

Where are they?

Why didn't we see the Clan Head Ning?

Please, Clan Head Ning, come out immediately! I, Chu Xinghe, will offer my help to your Ning Clan free of charge...

What the hell? You're saying our Vast Heaven Holy Land has a grudge against the Ning Clan?

Brother... one must learn to be magnanimous... We can't give up such a great deed that would benefit generations to come, just because of a small grudge, can we?

So grudges and such are completely unimportant. In this battle, Chu Xinghe is determined to fight the Ning Clan with blood...

Please rest assured, Ning Clan, I am not seeking fame or fortune in this battle. I have brought my own water and provisions, and all my own resources... I will absolutely not let the Ning Clan contribute a single penny to me...

Forget about resources, I won't even drink a drop of water from the Ning Clan. My goal this time is to maximize losses!

Just as Chu Xinghe was about to unleash the full power of the Holy Land to search for the Clan Head Ning, Senior Brother Shen Chun suddenly appeared from some unexpected corner...

"Junior Brother Xinghe, the missing Clan Head Ning has been found..."

Where?

"At the Haotian Palace, the Holy Empress has ordered you, Junior Brother Xinghe, to go Haotian Palace now!"

Without saying a word, Chu Xinghe followed Senior Brother Shen Chun all the way to the Haotian Palace.

When Chu Xinghe entered Haotian Palace, he found that not only were the Clan Head Ning and the Holy Empress there, but almost all the big shots from various palaces of the Haotian Palace Vast Heaven Holy Land had gathered there.

Upon seeing Xinghe enter, the many powerful figures exchanged glances. Then, the usually low-key First Elder spoke up, "Xinghe... you should know why the Clan Head Ning has come here."

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, the Clan Head Ning must be concerned about the matter in the Land of Flames, right?"

The Grand Elder nodded slightly, then exchanged a glance with the many powerful figures from the Vast Heaven Holy Land before speaking again, "Xinghe, don't speak yet, let me finish."

"Although the Ning Clan had some minor conflicts with our Vast Heaven Holy Land in the past, today the Clan Head Ning has sincerely apologized to all of us, and the Holy Empress has also vouched for us. From now on, the Ning Clan will absolutely not have any conflict with the Vast Heaven Holy Land for any reason."

"Let bygones be bygones. Even disregarding the Clan Head Ning's sincerity, for the sake of the Empress, Xinghe, you should still make a trip to the Land of Flames this time."

"However! Xinghe, remember this: even if you possess the Phoenix Fire, no one knows what kind of being the final Flame Deity of this Land of Flames truly is. If the opponent is powerful, you must not take any risks. Retreat immediately. There can be absolutely no safety issues. The Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird will accompany you into this realm!"

The elder spoke mainly because he was worried that Xinghe harbored resentment towards the Ning Clan of what had happened before, and was therefore unwilling to help them.

"Xinghe will obey the Grand Elder's command!"

Chu Xinghe calmly, and upon hearing his words, the Clan Head Ning burst into tears...

Before Chu Xinghe arrived, even with Holy Empress Ji Ya vouching for him, the Clan Head Ning had been utterly humiliated by this group of powerful figures from the Vast Heaven Holy Land...

The Clan Head Ning was truly being talked about to the point of being utterly disgusted...

However, the Clan Head Ning knew that he would need Chu Xinghe's help in this round, so he was willing to accept being scolded.

As it turned out, Ji Ya's influence was effective. Although a group of powerful figures reprimanded the Clan Head Ning, in the end, out of respect for the Holy Empress, the Grand Elder stepped forward to persuade Xinghe.

And then he saw Xinghe agree so readily.

A group of bigwigs nodded in agreement, saying that Xinghe was always so sensible and considerate!

Given what the Ning Clan did before... to put it bluntly, if you put any other family's prodigy in their shoes and asked them to take action now, wouldn't they be cursing them with some resentment?

But look at the Xinghe... it can still remain serene...

Xinghe is such a magnanimous child... No matter how unhappy he was, once the sect elders spoke, Xinghe didn't object at all, and didn't even show the slightest dissatisfaction...

Of course, the Grand Elder couldn't let Xinghe take risks just because of the Clan Head Ning's matter, so he specially arranged for the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird to go along.

Although the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird is not the strongest in combat among the Four Sacred Beasts, in terms of survival ability, even the Xuanwu Sacred Venerable cannot compare.

Because the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird possesses the ability to Rebirth Through Fire.

When faced with a certain death, the Vermilion Bird Clan can instantly transform into an egg, forcefully break out of the danger zone, and then revive after a certain period of time.

No matter how strong Xuanwu Sacred Venerable's defense was, it would be useless after being assimilated by the power of fire in that Land of Flames.

However, with the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird's Egg Transformation Technique, even if they encounter any real danger, the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird can instantly pull Xinghe along to activate the Egg Transformation Technique, forcibly breaking through the dangerous area of Land of Flames and reaching the safe zone.

Therefore, the reason why the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird was accompanying him was mainly to provide insurance for Xinghe... No matter how dangerous it was inside, with the Egg Transformation Technique, Xinghe's safety was guaranteed!

Chu Xinghe didn't know what the others were thinking, but he knew they were all overthinking things...

I'm so willing to do this... I can't wait!

Look at this wretched Land of Flames... You can't recover once you go in, you can only do it by spending money... and there aren't even any resources at all...

There was nothing but that wretched Dunjia Fire Book...

This kind of dungeon is purely pay-to-win and offers absolutely no rewards... tell me, how am I supposed to lose this game?

There were absolutely no winning points in this game!
