What the Hell Is Wrong with Your Martial Emperor City?!

The Vast Heaven Sect frantically repaid its debts, even breaking the unwritten rules of the Blazing Sun Continent.

Without the IOU and token of payment, well, sorry, you're just out of luck.

Even if you die, you won't get a single penny back.

However, the Vast Heaven Sect doesn't care about IOUs or tokens at all. As long as there was a real transaction, even if you lost the IOU or token, the Vast Heaven Sect will return it to you in full.

Not only is it a lot, but we're also charging you the highest interest rate! Tell me, isn't our Vast Heaven Sect ruthless this time?!

Whether the Vast Heaven Sect is ruthless or not is unknown, but the whole world is stunned by this combination of attacks from the Vast Heaven Sect.

The first reaction from all sides was that the Vast Heaven Sect had truly become insanely rich.

But you have so much money, wouldn't it be better to train your disciples like crazy?

What the hell benefits do you get from paying back this money?

To gain a good reputation?

Yes... the Vast Heaven Sect has gained a good reputation, but the money is gone...

Have you ever heard of a family maintaining its status as the number one sect in the world solely through its reputation?

Therefore, Vast Heaven Sect's actions were ridiculed by various forces for a time.

You, Chu Xinghe, are so righteous, aren't you?

You, Chu Xinghe, are good at unconventional and imaginative approaches, aren't you?

But no matter how imaginative you are, you can only wander in the air.

What good is a good reputation anyway?

If your Vast Heaven Sect continues to deplete its resources like this, even with its vast wealth and power, you'll eventually have to pay a heavy price.

So, Chu Xinghe, you want to lose all the profits you made for the sect before?

At Zheng Yu's insistence, Cheng Xiaotian convened a city-wide assembly in Martial Emperor City, which was attended by all elders and above.

The meeting was very simple; it discussed why the Vast Heaven Sect was doing these things.

At the meeting, an elder asked if the Vast Heaven Sect was only after a good reputation.

As a result, the elder was immediately berated by the other elders.

You're so old, how can you still be so naive and innocent? Do you know how outrageous you are?

You might as well say that Wu Xingyun is the Demonic Sect Bane!

"A good reputation... Look at the Ten Great Sects now, including our Martial Emperor City, who the hell sits in this position because of a good reputation?"

What? The Vast Heaven Sect can suppress our Martial Emperor City and become the number one sect in the world not because they are better at fighting than us, but because they have a better reputation?

Anyone who actually thinks that way must be out of their mind.

We, the Ten Great Sects, are all based on strength, okay? If you relied solely on reputation, you'd be devoured without a trace, wouldn't you?

But if it wasn't for a good reputation, what exactly was Chu Xinghe's purpose this time?

Zheng Yu pondered for a long time, but still had no answer. Zheng Yu said that Senior Brother Xinghe had reached a higher level, a level that even Zheng Yu could not understand.

The meeting lasted for almost half a day, but still yielded no results. In the end, Cheng Xiaotian had no choice but to adjourn the meeting.

Just as the meeting was about to adjourn, an elder from Martial Emperor City suddenly spoke up, "Isn't Chu Xinghe shooting himself in the foot? He's repaying without any IOU or token, isn't that just wasting the Vast Heaven Sect's resources? The Vast Heaven Sect itself has countless debts with lost IOUs and tokens that it can't recover. Just because the Vast Heaven Sect is willing to pay doesn't mean others are."

As soon as the elder finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

Just as everyone was nodding in agreement, Zheng Yu suddenly let out a loud shout!

"I understand! I understand!"

"So that's how it is! So that's what Senior Brother Xinghe's purpose was! Master! Quickly... let's all pay off our debts together, Martial Emperor City too!"

After Zheng Yu spoke, the hall was in chaos for about a minute. The first reaction of Cheng Xiaotian and the elders was that Zheng Yu had lost her mind.

But soon, after Zheng Yu began to explain, the scene completely descended into chaos.

"Everyone... do you all think that Senior Brother Xinghe's actions this time are a complete loss? You're wrong... all wrong! Senior Brother Xinghe is playing a very long game! Not only will he not lose, he will also gain both fame and fortune!"

Cheng Xiaotian: "???"

Many elders. "???"

Hey... Zheng Yu, do you want to hear what the hell you're saying?

However, before everyone could recover from their confusion, Zheng Yu's explanation made everyone understand Chu Xinghe's scheme.

Does the Vast Heaven Sect owe a lot?

Of course there are many. After all, the Vast Heaven Sect has encountered countless unlucky people over the years. Not only the Vast Heaven Sect, but also the Martial Emperor City has encountered these unlucky people. Except for a very few who later inexplicably found their tokens and IOUs, most of them really couldn't get them back.

But everyone only focuses on how much the Vast Heaven Sect owes to the outside world, but who cares how much others owe the Vast Heaven Sect?

As soon as Zheng Yu said this, Cheng Xiaotian and the other elders all changed their expressions drastically.

Zheng Yu is absolutely right!

The Vast Heaven Sect owes others a lot, but others owe the Vast Heaven Sect even more.

The Vast Heaven Sect must have lost far more IOUs and tokens than anyone else, right?

In our Martial Emperor City alone, there are several huge sums of money that haven't been repaid yet because the Vast Heaven Sect lost its tokens.

So here's Chu Xinghe's calculation: he seems to be paying back money, as if he's losing a lot of money, but with the continuous repayment, Vast Heaven Sect not only gains a good reputation, but also breaks the norm silently.

The rule that no repayment will be made without a token of trust is no longer an unwritten rule.

Therefore, repaying the loan now is only the first step. Once Vast Heaven Sect has repaid all the debts, they only need to support a few puppets to repay the debts of the lost tokens. At that time, Vast Heaven Sect raise a rallying cry.

We urge those who refuse to return the lost tokens belonging to our Vast Heaven Sect to return our Vast Heaven Sect's resources to us as well.

At that time, the Vast Heaven Sect will stand on the moral high ground and punish everyone. They'll just ask you whether you're going to pay back or not.

Whoever doesn't repay is unethical and lacks integrity!

A sect cannot rise to a high position based solely on its reputation, but a sect without any reputation at all is even less likely to do so.

After Zheng Yu's explanation, the entire venue erupted into chaos.

"Chu Xinghe is indeed intelligent to the point of being almost demonic!"

"We were all wrong! We were all wrong... We thought Chu Xinghe gone mad... But now it seems he's using the whole world as a chessboard, and we're all just his pawns!"

"The most terrifying thing about Chu Xinghe is that even if we can predict every single step he takes, we still have no choice but to follow his every move!"

"That's right... Even if Yu'er has figured out his scheme, our Martial Emperor City has no choice but to cooperate with him!"

"Is it possible not to cooperate? Although my Martial Emperor City also owes a lot, the outside Martial Emperor City owes us even more... If we cooperate, then we can get those back..."

The atmosphere in the room was very mixed, with both sighs and jubilation.

Zheng Yu's eyes welled up with tears... Senior Brother Xinghe is so terrifying! I, Zheng Yu, have been chasing after him with all my might. I thought I was getting closer and closer to Senior Brother Xinghe, but I've only just realized that I'm getting further and further away from Senior Brother Xinghe.

Senior Brother Xinghe's open scheme involves the entire world. Whether you understand it or not, you will still be manipulated by Senior Brother Xinghe.

Such an open scheme is impossible to break.

You laugh at Senior Brother Xinghe for still owing money, but Senior Brother Xinghe laughs at you for knowing nothing!

Without any hesitation, Martial Emperor City had its debts tallied. As Zheng Yu had guessed, the tally showed that Martial Emperor City also had a lot of debts, but others owed Martial Emperor City even more.

So what are we waiting for?

Almost immediately, Zheng Yu also arranged for Martial Emperor City to step in and pay off his debt. At this moment, before everyone had even figured out Senior Brother Xinghe's methods, Martial Emperor City's appearance could earn him a good reputation.

By the time everyone realizes what's happening, you won't even have a good reputation left.

You'll only be able to go with the flow eventually. While you might not be able to become a chess player like Senior Brother Xinghe now, at least you can be an extremely important piece.

If you wait until everyone realizes what's happening, you'll be nothing more than a expendable pawn...

To the utter astonishment of countless forces, even Martial Emperor City began repaying its debts...

When this news came out, the whole world was stunned.

Are the number one and number two sects in the world competing to see who can cause more trouble?

So you're all giving up on your marriages?

And then there's Martial Emperor City. Although you've made a lot of money in recent years, aren't you as wealthy as the Vast Heaven Sect?

Are you sure Martial Emperor City can withstand this level of debt repayment?

As the outside world has said, Martial Emperor City is struggling to hold on... but Zheng Yu, the King of Ideas, is no ordinary person.

Zheng Yu secretly approached the Star Moon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Alliance, with whom he had a good relationship, and secretly revealed Senior Brother Xinghe's plan.

After hearing what Zheng Yu, the King of Ideas, said, the expressions on the faces of the two families changed drastically.

The next day, the Star Moon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Alliance also joined the fray...

Start frantically paying off debts!

This has thrown the world into chaos... Before, if you didn't have a loan agreement or any token of trust, forget about getting your money back; you'd be lucky if you weren't kicked out.

But in the last two days, forget about any tokens of trust, these other families have even remembered debts you'd forgotten about.

The people from all the major sects were dumbfounded.

We agreed to mock the Vast Heaven Sect together!

How did you all end up joining the Vast Heaven Sect without a second thought?

What's the meaning of the Star Moon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Alliance mentioned later?

No way, there's definitely something fishy going on here, so we have to find out.

Ten Great Sects were completely baffled when they investigated.

After hearing Zheng Yu's theory, the Ten Great Sects were all kicking themselves in frustration!

Chu Xinghe! It's Chu Xinghe again!

We were all unwittingly outmaneuvered by Chu Xinghe.

But even though you know you've been tricked, you have no chance to fight back, because Chu Xinghe isn't using a conspiracy at all; he's using an open strategy.

You only saw that they returned it, but you didn't see that they immediately brought it home.

What's even more terrifying is that Chu Xinghe didn't do anything from beginning to end; he was just paying off his debts, yet he had unknowingly placed himself on the moral high ground.

What? You're saying what can happen if your sect doesn't participate?

Your sect has no bottom line, your sect is not trustworthy at all, and your sect has no credibility whatsoever!

What makes you any different from those shameless Demonic Sects?

So all Ten Great Sects got involved. Although they knew they were being morally blackmailed by Chu Xinghe, no one was angry.

Because everyone did the math: the more you pay back, the more you get back!

By this calculation, we seem to have made a huge profit. So, if it's possible, could we be subjected to this kind of moral blackmail a few more times?

Chu Xinghe had no idea what moral blackmail was. At this moment, Chu Xinghe, who was at the Vast Heaven Sect, was happily repaying his debts.

But as he continued, Chu Xinghe realized that things were starting to take a really weird turn.

Um... can anyone tell me... why did Martial Emperor City suddenly send so many resources to our Vast Heaven Sect without warning?

Or will it be the same as mine, at the highest interest rate?

Is your Martial Emperor City out of your minds?

Are you all as rich as our Vast Heaven Sect?
