Zheng Yu's Choice!

Tieniu has been acting like a madman these past two days, frantically setting up Spirit Domain Technique with those Nine-Colored Spirit Stones, the Spirit Domain Technique never stopping...

Seeing the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones being consumed at an alarming rate, Chu Xinghe was on the verge of tears!

This consumption of Nine-Colored Spirit Stones was far beyond what those Seven-Colored Spirit Stones could compare to.

Under Tieniu's Spirit Domain Technique, the situation underground in Divine Fox Ridge is now clearer than it is above ground.

Now, Tieniu has discovered all the underground rivers beneath Divine Fox Ridge...

The problem is... the underground river has been found, but the spiritual vein is still nowhere to be found...

The only discovery was some rather strange minerals found around the underground river...

When Tieniu first discovered these ores, he thought he had found a spiritual vein. After informing his Senior Brother Xinghe, Chu Xinghe broke out in a cold sweat...

Chu Xinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief after the ore was mined out.

Although this ore contains Spirit Power, this Spirit Power cannot be absorbed by anyone, not even Demon Race... These seemingly spiritual stones, rich in Spiritual Qi, are actually just useless stones...

Although a huge number of these things were found in Divine Fox Ridge, they are completely useless except for being seen.

Looking at Tieniu, who had spent so many days and consumed countless Nine-Colored Spirit Stones but gained nothing but these worthless stones, Chu Xinghe almost laughed until tears streamed down his face!

Regardless, Chu Xinghe immediately encouraged Tieniu, saying, "Tieniu, you haven't even finished this much. Look at all these Nine-Colored Spirit Stones that were delivered; you haven't even used a third of them... Isn't it a bit much to call it a failure at this point?"

We cannot call it a failure until we have used up all the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones!

What? Tieniu, you're saying the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones are too precious, and such consumption is excessive?

Not excessive at all!

Tieniu, you have absolutely no idea about the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones... These Nine-Colored Spirit Stones are indeed precious, but if they were to be transported back to the sect, aside from the sect leader sneaking out under the cover of darkness to carve them, no one else would generally use them.

Tieniu, do you think it's a waste for you to use your Spirit Domain Technique here, or for the sect leader to waste time carving?

After listening to Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Tieniu was immediately filled with enthusiasm!

Just because the Vast Heaven Sect can withstand the drain doesn't mean other sects can...

It has been half a month since everyone bought the Horse Clan, and each sect has gone all out... using all kinds of resources and methods.

However, the Horse Clan's land had been searched several times... and in the end, nothing was found except for the abandoned rocks near the underground river.

Initially, some people suspected that these waste rocks might contain something unique that we just hadn't discovered.

As a result, everyone brought in various experts on spirit stones, who studied these useless stones repeatedly for a long time. The final conclusion was that they were completely useless...

Although it contains Spirit Power, it's a worthless stone; due to its impurities, it's completely unabsorbable by humans, and even Demon Race can't absorb it... Even a dog wouldn't use it...

Now the various sects were truly panicked.

So, we agreed to follow Senior Brother Xinghe, and there wasn't a single problem with that?

Why did we get nothing but these scrap rocks?

Someone secretly went to Divine Fox Ridge to inquire, which only made everyone more panicked.

Because the Vast Heaven Sect hasn't made any progress either; aside from the discarded stones, the result is the same as everyone else's...

Finally, after countless failures, Ji Moran was the first to say she wanted to give up...

It's not that Ji Moran wants to give up, it's just that our Cloud Firmament Sect can't hold on any longer.

When we bought the territory from the Horse Clan, our Cloud Firmament Sect had already sold everything we owned...

But that wasn't the end of it. They thought they could make a quick fortune, but to their utter surprise, after investing so much, they ended up with absolutely nothing.

Our Cloud Firmament Sect isn't like the Vast Heaven Sect... They're crazy with wealth, we're crazy with poverty...

We really can't hold on like this!

So on that day, Ji Moran found Zheng Yu and expressed his desire to sell the Horse Clan land he owned to Martial Emperor City at 90% of the previous price.

Upon hearing that Ji Moran wanted to sell the land, Zheng Yu also fell into deep thought.

Did Senior Brother Xinghe really make a mistake this time?

But after glancing at Tieniu still frantically using his Spirit Domain Technique, Zheng Yu felt much more at ease and gritted his teeth... He bought it!

Ji Moran, who had recovered 90% of the resources he had originally invested, was teary-eyed... Although there was a loss, Ji Moran said that Cloud Firmament Sect had stopped the loss in time, so although there was a loss, it was not a huge loss!

With the Cloud Firmament Sect being the first to withdraw, the already impoverished Jade Void Palace also backed down.

After holding out for half a day, Jade Void Palace also decided to sell its land to Martial Emperor City at 90% of the original price.

Although Zheng Yu was a little flustered, out of absolute trust in Senior Brother Xinghe, Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and stamped his foot... and bought it!

The withdrawal of the Jade Void Palace caused panic among the various factions. In an instant, the Heavenly Sword Alliance, Listening Snow Pavilion, Kun Forest Sect all approached Zheng Yu, intending to sell their Horse Clan lands to Martial Emperor City.

Faced with the withdrawal of everyone, Zheng Yu was also dumbfounded... His junior brothers who came with Zheng Yu tried to persuade Zheng Yu.

"Senior Brother Zheng Yu... we can't accept any more. Senior Brother Xinghe definitely made a mistake this time... cutting our losses now is the best course of action!"

"That's right... Senior Brother Zheng Yu, although Senior Brother Xinghe is known for his unconventional ideas, everyone makes mistakes. He must have made a mistake this time... We can't buy any more..."

"Senior Brother Zheng Yu, why don't we report this to the sect... and let the elders decide?"

But amidst the persuasion of his fellow disciples, Zheng Yu made a decision that none of them expected!

Receive!

Keep collecting them!

No matter who tries to sell their Horse Clan lands, they will take them all!

When they heard Senior Brother Zheng Yu's decision, the junior brothers and sisters were stunned... Someone immediately sent the news to Martial Emperor City, hoping that the sect could do something about Senior Brother Zheng Yu, who had gone mad.

Faced with Zheng Yu's impulsive actions, many elders of Martial Emperor City immediately urged Zheng Yu to stop.

Faced with the orders of the many elders, Zheng Yu chose to ignore them!

Under Zheng Yu's leadership, Martial Emperor City took over the entire territory of the Horse Clan on its own.

Faced with Zheng Yu's actions, the elders and disciples in Martial Emperor City were all discussing it animatedly.

Has Senior Brother Zheng Yu gone mad?

Does he think our family is the Vast Heaven Sect?

The Vast Heaven Sect's loss is negligible, but for our Martial Emperor City, such a huge loss is catastrophic.

Many elders of Martial Emperor City even approached Cheng Xiaotian immediately, saying, "City Lord, why aren't you stopping Zheng Yu's outrageous behavior?"

However, Cheng Xiaotian chose to go into seclusion, and in this instance, he chose to support Zheng Yu!

Of the Horse Clan, only Martial Emperor City remains here. Zheng Yu looked towards Divine Fox Ridge, where the nine-colored divine light was still flashing, Zheng Yu eyes became much more determined!

Others may not know what has happened in the past few days, but Zheng Yu knows that although her master has not expressed any opinions to the outside world, Zheng Yu has received a private message from her master.

The master asked himself if he knew what he was doing, and if he knew the consequences of losing.

You, Zheng Yu, are not Chu Xinghe. Vast Heaven Sect Chu Xinghe could have easily moved away overnight if he had said he would give away the sect's gates at the Vast Heaven Sect.

But Zheng Yu, you don't have that status yet. If Chu Xinghe loses this round, when he returns to the Vast Heaven Sect, everyone from Gu Mingchao to an ordinary disciple will tell Chu Xinghe that they unconditionally support him!

Such losses are a drop in the ocean for the Vast Heaven Sect. In the past few days, Cheng Xiaotian inquired about the Vast Heaven Sect's opinion on Chu Xinghe's reckless consumption of Nine-Colored Spirit Stones: what's the big deal?

Aren't the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones meant to be consumed?

Why not use them up instead of saving them to carve a stone statue of the sect leader?

No one in the Vast Heaven Sect, from top to bottom, thought there was anything wrong with Chu Xinghe consuming such a small amount of resources. They were even quite pleased, saying, "Xinghe... building the sect is so tiring, and he's finally learned to use the sect's resources... congratulations!"

But what about you, Zheng Yu?

Now everyone in Martial Emperor City is doubting your decision-making ability. If you lose this time, even if I, your master, intervene, you will not be able to escape punishment.

Do you know how many disciples in the sect want to replace you Zheng Yu?

If you lose this round, Zheng Yu, you might be doomed forever, do you know that?

Zheng Yu remained silent for a long time after hearing his master's words. Finally, Zheng Yu told his master that he chose to believe Senior Brother Xinghe this time!

If Zheng Yu loses this match, it might be the end of him, but if I win, even if I can't reach the level of Senior Brother Xinghe in Martial Emperor City, I can still shut up all those who doubt me!

Faced with Zheng Yu's choice, Cheng Xiaotian said nothing. He chose to give Zheng Yu a chance, a chance to prove herself.

Zheng Yu gazed in the direction of Divine Fox Ridge. For some reason, Zheng Yu felt very relaxed at that moment.

The pressure of the past is gone...

Everyone says that I, Zheng Yu, am gambling with my life, that I'm crazy!

Zheng Yu wasn't crazy at all this time!

You think this is my calamity, but it is actually my Zheng Yu!

You guys backed out, you chickened out, but I, Zheng Yu, didn't chicken out!

Because I believe in Senior Brother Xinghe! I believe Senior Brother Xinghe would never let Zheng Yu lose this match!

On the Demon Star Continent, a thousand miles away from Divine Fox Ridge, a figure shrouded in shadow wore a strange smile.

If the Demon Race were to see him here now, they would surely be astonished and shout out his name— Yuan Zheng!

But he was not Yuan Zheng, Yuan Zheng already dead. He was Yuan Ying, Yuan Zheng's younger brother, the most mysterious being in the Ape Clan.

After the Ape Clan was destroyed, Yuan Ying fled immediately. Ape Clan didn't run away because he was afraid of death, but because he wanted to stay alive to avenge his elder brother and the entire Ape Clan!

The Snake Clan... the Wolf Clan... the Fox Clan... and all those other clans that claim to Human Race blood at the drop of a hat...

You are all traitors to the Demon Race! I, Yuan Ying, will never let you go!

The Bat Clan was also arranged by Yuan Ying, but unfortunately Yuan Ying did not expect that the Bear Clan would stoop so low as to serve as gatekeepers for the Vast Heaven Sect!

After the Bat Clan incident, Yuan Ying knew that the Vast Heaven Sect must have already learned of his existence.

Therefore, Yuan Ying kept himself deeply hidden. This time, when Chu Xinghe came to the Fox Clan in a grand manner, Yuan Ying did not choose to make a move.

Because I, Yuan Ying, am not stupid. The Vast Heaven Sect knew of my existence, yet they still dared to let Chu Xinghe come out. This must be a trap!

How could I, Yuan Ying, with my extraordinary intelligence, fall into the trap set by that treacherous Xinghe villain?

However, Yuan Ying was not idle either. The news that there might be a spiritual vein in Divine Fox Ridge had already spread throughout the world, and Yuan Ying could not possibly be unaware of it.

Since we can't kill Chu Xinghe, let's start by causing losses to the Vast Heaven Sect and making Chu Xinghe suffer huge losses!

Want to get the resources of Divine Fox Ridge? You're dreaming!

I, Yuan Ying, am serious about destroying the Vast Heaven Sect!
