I, Tieniu, Have Lots of Trusted Followers Under Me!

The heavy snow has arrived once again as scheduled.

This also signals that the Lunar New Year is approaching.

The heavy snow has covered the entire Haotian Mountain Range with a layer of silver, and Haotian City is now decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.

The Vast Heaven Holy Land also held various festival activities in Haotian City, attracting countless people to participate.

Within the Vast Heaven Holy Land, disciples from various palaces were also meticulously decorating their respective homes.

"A little to the left... yes, a little higher... too much... a little lower, okay, okay, that's it! Perfect!"

Ma Liang, the only permanent low-ranking outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land who was inspecting the various palaces on behalf of the Grand Elder, was also helping his fellow disciples check whether the red lanterns were hung properly.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... they say you found a princess while you were away?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Senior Brother Ma Liang clearly found a queen!"

"What queen... isn't Senior Brother Ma Liang looking for an empress?"

"Don't you understand the principle of not believing or spreading rumors... Senior Brother Ma Liang clearly found a goddess!"

Right now, a group of senior and junior students are teasing Ma Liang.

The news of Yue Ling has now spread throughout the Four Continents, and everyone says that Yue Ling is really about to take off this time!

After all, that was Ma Liang... Let's not even talk about now, just look at Ma Liang in the past. He would definitely be a big shot in the entire Four Continents.

And now, needless to say, Ma Liang has obtained the Seed of Samsara Divinity, which is equivalent to securing his place as the Future Main God in advance. In other words, Ma Liang has essentially secured his position as the strongest person in the entire Four Continents in the Future.

What the heck? You're saying Ma Liang looks like a donkey?

When a person's abilities reach their peak, their appearance becomes an advantage, believe it or not.

Ma Liang said, "If I really wanted to find a wife right now, the line would stretch all the way to the Evil Shadow Continent, believe it or not?"

However, Ma Liang said that he really liked Yue Ling, but of course, his feelings for Ma Liang only went as far as liking her.

After all, I, Ma Liang, am still a young man. Unlike Elder He, an old man, I don't get into a fight at the drop of a hat!

Even I, Ma Liang, have my pride, you know.

Speaking of Elder He, Elder He gave Ma Liang a huge surprise when he found Ma Liang!

Elder He said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that Yue Ling is only Third Rank spirit. It was Xinghe who helped her reach the Third Rank. Yue Ling's true abilities are not something that can be determined by a simple rank."

Being born with Extreme Yin Soul is extremely rare. If an Extreme Yin Soul were in an ordinary person, it might not be of much use; at most, it would just make them more likely to attract the attention of various ghosts and monsters.

However, if Ma Liang and Yue Ling become Daoist partners, then the Extreme Yin Soul will be of immense benefit to Ma Liang in strengthening his Netherworld.

As we all know, it is quite difficult for a ghost to improve itself. Even Ma Liang cannot easily improve a ghost. And most ghosts are essentially completely sealed off after they have been improved to a certain level.

However, the Extreme Yin Soul can use its own Soul Power to nourish those ghosts. To some extent, the Extreme Yin Soul has the ability to help Ma Liang break through the upper limit of ghosts.

Therefore, Elder He believed that if Ma Liang could become a Daoist couple with Yue Ling in the Future, it would be of great benefit to Ma Liang.

Although Ma Liang listened to Elder He's words, Ma Liang felt that finding a Daoist partner should primarily be based on feelings... If he were to become a Daoist partner with Yue Ling simply because her Extreme Yin Soul was useful to him, it would be somewhat unfair to Yue Ling.

Therefore, Ma Liang believes that sometimes letting things take their natural course is the best approach.

Of course, if we bring Yue Ling into the Vast Heaven Holy Land naturally, Ma Liang thinks it would be even smoother!

For this reason, Ma Liang actually made a special trip to the Great Liang Kingdom!

The court of the Great Liang Kingdom now emphasizes harmony!

Throughout the entire Great Liang Kingdom, whatever Yue Ling said was law. In fact, not only the Great Liang Kingdom, but all the surrounding countries, large and small, treated the Great Liang Kingdom with utmost respect.

In the past, when the Great Liang Kingdom cooperated with outsiders, it required a lot of discussion and consultation. Now, various parties are actively seeking cooperation with the Great Liang Kingdom!

Although there had been empresses in the Great Liang Kingdom before, there were still some people in the Great Liang Kingdom court who opposed Yue Ling becoming empress.

But now, there isn't a single dissenting voice in the Great Liang Kingdom court.

Even neighboring countries had long ago presented Yue Ling with gifts to celebrate her ascension to the throne as empress!

After all, none of them are stupid... It's no secret how Yue Ling got back to the Great Liang Kingdom. She hired Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang for 300 spirit stones, and many people even know that Ma Liang and Yue Ling seem to have some ambiguous relationship.

Many people now consider Yue Ling to be Ma Liang's wife.

In this situation, who the hell would be crazy enough to provoke the Great Liang Kingdom?

Are you referring to the Great Liang Kingdom?

You want to challenge Ma Liang to a duel, right?

Therefore, Yue Ling will not encounter any resistance in taking charge of the Great Liang Kingdom.

As for Lord Ma Liang's wish for her to enter the Vast Heaven Holy Land, it would be a lie to say that Yue Ling wasn't tempted.

After all, that's the Vast Heaven Holy Land, a place that countless people dream of. Yue Ling has never liked court intrigue or managing a country.

The reality is that, apart from Yue Ling's father, the former ruler, there are no other members of the royal family in the Great Liang Kingdom.

In this situation, Yue Ling hopes that Ma Liang can ask the pharmacist of Vast Heaven Holy Land to awaken her father. Once her father wakes up, Yue Ling will hand over everything of the Great Liang Kingdom back to him and then go to Vast Heaven Holy Land with Ma Liang.

As for Yue Ling's idea... Ma Liang didn't say much.

Because Senior Brother Xinghe had told him before that Yue Ling's father, the old king Zhao Su, was actually already dead. The reason he still seemed to have vitality was only because the poison he was poisoned with was very special.

This poison is one that can kill the soul but not the body. Zhao Su's soul has already perished, but her body can continue to survive thanks to the blessing of some special pills and elixirs.

But waking up... Ma Liang knew it was absolutely impossible!

Ma Liang didn't tell Yue Ling these things because Ma Liang knew that Zhao Su was Yue Ling's last remaining relative in the world, and telling Yue Ling these things now would be a huge blow to her.

Therefore, Ma Liang also hoped to give Yue Ling some time to recover, which is why Ma Liang did not bring Yue Ling into the Vast Heaven Holy Land for the time being.

With the New Year approaching, all the palaces of the Vast Heaven Holy Land are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the disciples are all smiles as they welcome the arrival of the New Year.

The annual festival also signifies the return of stewards and managers from all walks of life outside the Haotian Vast Heaven Holy Land to the annual year-end summary meeting.

In previous years, the deacons of all parties were all all smiles at the year-end summary meeting, but this year, due to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of Commerce, not many deacons were able to smile.

Although only the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce was punished, Shen Chun also relayed the Grand Elder's reprimand to the deacons of all the businesses in the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Everyone knows that the Grand Elder is furious about the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce incident. It is said that two chief elders have been silenced by the Grand Elder in the past two days, and the Holy Lord has been hiding for several days, afraid to go out, for fear of being caught by the Grand Elder and scolded mercilessly.

The Grand Elder also demanded that all of Vast Heaven Holy Land's external assets undergo both self-inspection and inspection.

All of Shen Chun's spies from the Vast Heaven Holy Land were mobilized.

In just a few days, three deacons have already been demoted!

Of course, the matter concerning these three deacons wasn't a big deal; otherwise, with the Grand Elder's abilities, would it have only resulted in a demotion?

Therefore, while not everyone in the Vast Heaven Holy Land is living in fear, the various industries have at least been affected to some extent.

Those who usually commit crimes will have absolutely no chance of escaping this time. The Grand Elder will deal with any traitors with swift and decisive action!

In previous years, when the various deacons and managers returned to Vast Heaven Holy Land, they would boast about how much money they had made that year.

But this year, the main focus is on who hasn't had a problem...

Of course, many people were completely unaffected by this incident, such as Wang Tieniu!

"Senior Brother Xinghe! I, Tieniu, have missed you so much!"

All the other members of the Vast Heaven Holy Land who were outside the Holy Land returned to the Vast Heaven Holy Land this time and immediately went to the Grand Elder to report on their duties, and also reported the various self-examination results in detail.

Only Wang Tieniu was not allowed to conduct a Tieniu -examination by the Grand Elder, nor was he required to do so. Therefore, as soon as Wang Tieniu returned to Vast Heaven Holy Land, he found Senior Brother Xinghe as usual and gave him a big bear hug!

Then, Tieniu blurted out that Senior Brother Xinghe Tieniu year, having only found eighteen large mines, trained just over three hundred top-tier Stone Masters, and earned only four times the resources of last year...

Overall, things didn't meet my expectations... So Tieniu assured Senior Brother Xinghe Tieniu that next year, he would not only complete the task, but also make up for what he hadn't finished this year!

Chu Xinghe: "..."

Even the Grand Elder couldn't be bothered to investigate Tieniu...

What are you investigating? Tieniu Niu spends all year round in various mines, either searching for minerals or practicing alchemy, and then training disciples. Look at the other people from the Vast Heaven Holy Land who are outside; they all use their power to do something.

But Tieniu probably doesn't even understand how the word "power" is written.

What power does Tieniu represent? I have no idea... All I know is that back then, Senior Brother Xinghe asked me to find and mine minerals... Senior Brother Xinghe didn't say he was giving me any power!

I, Tieniu, owe my success today entirely to Senior Brother Xinghe's help. So what right do I have?

What? You're asking if I, Tieniu, have any trusted confidants? Well... what do you mean by trusted confidants? I, Tieniu, only write letters, I don't have any trusted confidants!

Oh! So "confidants" means one's own people. Then I, Tieniu, have many confidants... I have several thousand disciples, and all of them are my Tieniu. They will do whatever I, Tieniu!

So I, Tieniu, must be the most trusted confidant in our Vast Heaven Holy Land! If I, Tieniu, tell them to do something, they'll do it; none of them dare to say no!

What? You're saying I, Tieniu, am Senior Brother Xinghe's confidant? I never thought of that... Anyway, I only listen to Senior Brother Xinghe!

What? Senior Brother Shen Chun, you're asking me whether to listen to the Grand Elder or Senior Brother Xinghe first?

Senior Brother Shen Chun, I respect the Grand Elder very much, but I'm not one to lie. Please tell the Grand Elder that I really can't listen to him; I only listen to Senior Brother Xinghe!

If Senior Brother Shen Chun and the Grand Elder intend to punish me, I'll accept it. But please tell the Grand Elder that even if he punishes me, I definitely won't listen to him. I'll only listen to Senior Brother Xinghe...

Shen Chun: "..."
