This Round, the Misfortune Compass and I Each Won Some and Lost Some!

Ma Liang, the only permanent low-level outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, was speechless at this point...

Ma Liang said, "Well... Holy Lord... isn't your revenge a little too obvious?"

At least tomorrow you could demote me to the only permanent low-level outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, using the reason that my Ma Liang eye opened first when I woke up...

Your immediate denigration is rather absurd...

However, whether Ma Liang has been demoted or not is no longer important... There's no need to keep track of the resources on the Haotian Palace's side... Just take a look at the top recharge amount on the recharge leaderboard and you'll roughly know the resource situation on the Haotian Palace's side...

At this moment, the Grand Elder said, "Empress Dowager, do you now know why the Haotian Palace not only lacked any resources before, but even the various treasure troves of our Vast Heaven Holy Land were not allowed to be entered by our Holy Lord?"

The Holy Lord has no other hobbies, except for topping up his account...

No matter how many resources Haotian Palace allocates, the Holy Lord dares to flood them all in one night...

If you say the Haotian Mirror has nothing to do with our Vast Heaven Holy Land, and the Holy Lord is willing to spend money on Haotian Mirror, honestly, it doesn't matter. After all, our Vast Heaven Holy Land isn't short of these measly sums...

The problem is, the Haotian Mirror belongs to our Vast Heaven Holy Land, and all the money recharged in the Haotian Mirror ultimately ends up in the hands of our Vast Heaven Holy Land!

As the Martial Emperor City Lord, it's not a problem that Cheng Xiaotian has a hobby of spending money on in-game purchases, nor is it a problem that he has long held the top spot on the leaderboard.

After all, if someone has the money and wants to recharge, it's none of your business...

The problem is, the Holy Lord knocked this guy off the top spot on the leaderboard, knowing that our Holy Lord Gu Mingchao also has a penchant for spending money, and even more so, he intends to trample his old friend Cheng Xiaotian underfoot.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Holy Lord of our Vast Heaven Holy Land was a shill...

What? Are you deliberately putting Cheng Xiaotian down to force him to spend money on in-game purchases?

What's the difference between this and forcing people to spend money?

So the Grand Elder gave an order to Lu Chengqing to remove Cheng Xiaotian, Shameless Brat, Kneel Down and Speak...

Let Gu Mingchao Is My Defeated Opponent, return to the top spot on the leaderboard...

Meanwhile, to avoid any misunderstanding from Cheng Xiaotian, the Grand Elder personally sent Cheng Xiaotian a message and refunded part of the resources Cheng Xiaotian recharged...

Now, the whole Big White is revealed...

It's not that Haotian Palace didn't generate resources... it's that when resources were generated, Holy Empress Ji Ya wasn't even in the Haotian Palace!

What the heck? You're asking why Holy Empress Ji Ya wasn't in the Haotian Palace at the time?

This is a difficult question to answer...

The moment the resources sprouted at the Haotian Palace, Holy Lord Gu Mingchao discovered them... Good heavens, Gu Mingchao was overjoyed to see the resources growing in the ground!

Wow, so many resources! I've never seen so many resources before!

Therefore, Gu Mingchao immediately activated the power of the Main God, seizing all the resources...

Then he created a new Haotian Mirror account named "Cheng Xiaotian, Shameless Brat, Kneel Down and Speak!"

This alt account subsequently set a record for the fastest time in Haotian Mirror's history to reach the top of the leaderboard!

At this moment, Holy Empress Ji Ya's face was completely blank...

Holy Empress Ji Ya snatched Gu Mingchao 'Gu Mingchao Qiankun Ring from his hand... and then forcibly used her divine power to open the Qiankun Ring, handing over all of Gu Mingchao's resources within to the Grand Elder!

"No, Xiao Ya... some of those resources aren't from this batch... I painstakingly saved them up for my daily cultivation..."

Gu Mingchao spoke with a miserable expression.

Upon hearing Gu Mingchao's words, Ji Ya was so angry that she threw the Qiankun Ring to Ma Liang!

Ji Ya retorted to Gu Mingchao, "Do you even want to listen to whether you're speaking human language to me?!"

What do you mean by "that's what you use for your regular cultivation"?

Don't you dare push your luck, Gu Mingchao!

You're a Main God, and you're telling me you need spirit stones to cultivate? What Main God needs spirit stones to cultivate? Why don't you say what resources you need to break through your cultivation level?

Secondly, if you're cultivating Watch Quietly as Things Change, what kind of spirit stone resources do you need?

An enraged Ji Ya glared at the Grand Elder: "Does our Spirit Crane Palace have any medicine that can cure the Holy Lord's illness?"

The Grand Elder looked at the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking... There is truly no medicine to cure this ailment!"

Ji Ya: "Is there any medicine that will keep you unable to take care of yourself for three to five years after you finish taking it?"

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, "There is one, but the Holy Lord's cultivation is too high; I'm afraid it won't have any effect!"

Finally, the Grand Elder and Ji Ya both sighed helplessly and looked towards the Xinghe Way!

Chu Xinghe: "Don't look at me like that... I really don't have any medicine here to poison the Main God... Why don't you two go ask at Senior Brother Feng Fei's house?"

The Grand Elder and Ji Ya exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously, as if they had made a difficult decision!

The mystery surrounding Haotian Palace has been solved...

Chu Xinghe looked at the Holy Lord, who remained calm and composed even under immense pressure, with a face full of admiration...

While he admired Chu Xinghe, he thought, "What the hell happened to holding back a big one... Holy Lord, what the hell is this, suddenly giving me a big show?"

However, it would be a lie to say there were no surprises this time... Following the incident of the Holy Lord's malicious recharge, Chu Xinghe discovered that the slowly spinning Misfortune Compass hadn't regressed this time, but had actually settled the reward for him!

The problem is, the rewards have been distributed... but the amount consumed in this round was too small... The rewards entered my body, but they didn't even noticeably increase my cultivation level, let alone level up!

There's nothing we can do... This Holy Lord attack consumed the sect's resources, but the Haotian Mirror originally belonged to our Vast Heaven Holy Land.

No matter how much money Holy Lord Gu Mingchao puts in, isn't it just a matter of transferring money from one pocket to another?

Therefore, these top-ups don't actually count as consumption. What should be considered consumption is the amount that Cheng Xiaotian originally topped up, which was partially refunded by the Grand Elder out of apology, thus creating the illusion of consumption...

But how much energy is actually consumed?

These expenditures are unlikely to bring much improvement to my current level!

The Holy Lord has gone into seclusion... The reason for the Holy Lord's seclusion is not because he was caught making in-game purchases.

Regarding this matter, the Holy Lord stated that he had done nothing wrong... As the master of the Haotian Palace, it was perfectly reasonable for him to use the spiritual stones that grew in the Haotian Palace!

So what could I have done wrong?

When I recharged those spirit stones, I wasn't aiming to become the top spender. My main motivation was that after discovering spirit stones, I felt that directly recharging them into the Haotian Mirror was essentially helping our Vast Heaven Holy Land collect them.

My main job is to help collect spirit stones!

So what could I Gu Mingchao, have done wrong?

What the heck? Why didn't the Grand Elder shout for the impeachment of the Holy Lord this time...?

The Grand Elder asked, "Can we keep this matter within the Head Seat Circle? Can we really talk about this outside of our circle?"

I don't know if the Holy Lord has any shame, but our Vast Heaven Holy Land certainly does!

As for the Holy Lord's seclusion, the Holy Lord stated that it had absolutely nothing to do with this matter. It was mainly because Gu Mingchao suddenly had an inspiration... My book has reached an important chapter... The evil spirit of Lu Shu has gone mad and slaughtered thirteen cities. The Holy Lord Gu Mingchao reversed life and death to save millions of lives!

Although the rewards from this Misfortune Compass were minimal, Chu Xinghe declared, "Hold on tight!"

So what if the reward is small?

Does a small reward mean it's not a reward at all?

I, Chu Xinghe, have always been hit with a rude awakening at the start of the year!

But although I was also dealt a heavy blow this year, did that mean I also won a hand against the Misfortune Compass?

So, in essence, did Chu Xinghe and the Misfortune Compass have a mixed record this year?

Under these circumstances, what makes you think I, Chu Xinghe, have lost?

This proves that a new year with a fresh start is the right thing to do!

This new song is flawless!

"Gongs on the left and right... drum in the right hand... I'm singing with gongs and drums in my hands. I don't want to sing any other songs, I just want to sing a victory song!"

Chu Xinghe hummed a little song happily, while simultaneously planning his next move!

But how Chu Xinghe will make his move is unknown to the Civil Engineering Department!

All we know about the Civil Engineering Department is Senior Brother Xinghe... What happened to our united front?

On New Year's Day... we were still comrades-in-arms fighting side by side!

We share a common hatred for the Gui Li wine!

We drank together, took medicine together, shared joy and laughter...

We agreed to lose everything together, but Senior Brother Xinghe, you pull this stunt right at the start of the year?

We Civil Engineering Department students finally had a few days of joy during the Spring Festival. Even the Grand Elder said that if conditions permit, we'll be given a holiday this year!

We've already prepared the leave slips...

The Grand Elder was about to sign off... and then, Senior Brother Xinghe, you suddenly sent over so many resources?

Senior Brother Xinghe, please open your eyes and see how pitiful we are...

Look, even our Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable has fallen ill...

What the hell? What level of cultivation do you think the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable has? How could he possibly be sick?

In response, the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable said, "Do you know what a mental illness is?"

Is a mental illness not considered an illness?

I don't know what the Civil Engineering Department students are thinking... but Gui Li is screaming with joy!

Gui Li exclaimed, "Look! Resources... so many resources! Senior brothers... we can happily build our treasure trove again! What are we waiting for? Let's roll each other up!"

This year, I will definitely make sure the Most Diligent Award is well-deserved...

The entire Civil Engineering Department quickly returned to a semi-conscious state... Most of the Civil Engineering Department disciples were responsible for dreaming, Gui Li was responsible for being awake in the real world!

Meanwhile, the Vast Heaven Holy Land was excited because the various palaces were releasing resources...

Evil Shadow Continent!

The Earth Sha Evil Lord has already sent messages to all the other Evil Lords!

But right now, all the Evil Lords are like they're dead!

The White Spirit Evil Lord declared that he had reached the most crucial moment in his attempt to become a main Main God and needed to go into seclusion. He warned that even if the sky were to fall, no one should contact him!

The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord said that Xie Yue has been too busy with announcements lately, and he has to keep up with her schedule, so he really doesn't have time to go.

The Phantom Evil Lord exclaimed, "Oh dear... we've got news of An Ying! I, the Phantom Evil Lord, have a father-son relationship with An Ying. I'm going to find An Ying..."

The other Evil Lords also have extremely important matters to attend to and have gone into hiding...

But whether the other Evil Lords are hidden or not, the Earth Sha Evil Lord doesn't know. What the Earth Sha Evil Lord does know is, has this Suppressing the Dead Spirit Realm become part of our Earth Sha Evil Spirits family?

What happened to the promise that Evil Shadow Continent wouldn't be united?

But what's with you guys being so united when it comes to the fact that we're not united in the Evil Shadow Continent?
