Has the Ancestor Become a King?

Ganwu Universe Country, Panshi Star Domain, Blood God Star!

Inside the tallest temple, Lian Qingzhu and Lian Chi Tong were discussing something in low voices.

Lian Chi Tong said indignantly, "Damn it! Just because I didn't give him face during the last points mission, that Blood Demon King has been making trouble for our Lian Clan Family at every turn!"

Lian Qingzhu's expression did not change at his words. She shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Those subordinates of Blood Demon King committed such grave crimes. You sentenced them to death because they deserved it, and that was also the arrangement of the Virtual Universe Company's assessors!"

"But now, Blood Demon King doesn't dare deal with me directly, so he's resorting to all sorts of underhanded tricks, using commercial methods to besiege the Lian Clan's businesses!" Regret filled Lian Chi Tong's eyes. "I shouldn't have rebuffed him so directly back then. Now I've implicated the entire family!"

"What nonsense are you saying?" Hearing his self-reproach, Lian Qingzhu immediately rebuked him. "If you hadn't become an Inspector Envoy of the Virtual Universe Company, how could our Lian Clan have achieved such tremendous growth in less than ten thousand years? If anyone has been burdened, it's you who has been burdened by the family!"

"But, Great Elder..."

"Say no more!" Lian Chi Tong wanted to continue, but Lian Qingzhu cut him off directly. "You don't need to concern yourself with family matters. I'll handle all of that!"

"The only thing you need to do is cultivate diligently. In the next Domain Lord level qualification battle, defeat the other opponents and remain in the Primal Secret Realm!"

Hearing Lian Qingzhu's words, Lian Chi Tong hesitated for a while, but in the end, he did not speak up to argue.

Seeing his appearance, Lian Qingzhu snorted inwardly. Those parasites in the family merely had to face the provocations of Blood Demon King's forces and temporarily give up a little profit. Yet they actually dared bypass me and disturb Chi Tong's cultivation. It seems I need to properly clean up the family!

The cause of the entire matter was actually very simple. As an externally assigned Domain Lord level genius, Lian Chi Tong was sent out partly to be assessed and tempered, and partly to receive corresponding resources. Within Ganwu Universe Country, the Virtual Universe Company would select certain missions to assess his character and cultivate his loyalty to the Human race!

Around a thousand years ago, four Immortal Gods under the King expert Blood Demon King, more than forty World Masters, and over a thousand Domain Lords and universe level experts had violated the laws of the Human race.

To test Lian Chi Tong, the Virtual Universe Company gave him the authority to pass judgment. Execution, release, imprisonment... all judgments were for him to decide. In order to save his subordinates, Blood Demon King personally sought out Lian Chi Tong, hoping he would give him face and spare the lives of those four Immortal Gods!

However, Lian Chi Tong ultimately enforced the law impartially and sentenced the four Immortal Gods to death!

This naturally enraged Blood Demon King. However, Lian Chi Tong was a genius of the Virtual Universe Company and also enjoyed the favor of King Ye Yue, the actual administrator of Ganwu Universe Country. Blood Demon King did not dare directly retaliate against Lian Chi Tong!

Yet as a King-level Immortal, he could not swallow that grievance. Thus, he simply ordered his forces to deal with the Lian Clan through commercial competition!

After Lian Chi Tong became Ganwu Universe Country's Inspector Envoy, the Lian Clan Family's power had expanded explosively. It appeared to have become a super family within Ganwu Universe Country, but because it had risen too quickly and relied mainly on Lian Chi Tong's authority, its foundation was actually extremely weak.

When facing the commercial competition from Blood Demon King's forces, they naturally suffered defeat after defeat.

Commercial competition was a trivial matter, and it did not directly target Lian Chi Tong, so the Virtual Universe Company naturally would not intervene. Even Lian Qingzhu herself did not care in the slightest.

As an Immortal God, she had lived for endless years. She was actually happy to see such things happen. The Lian Clan members had become far too arrogant lately; letting them hit a wall and wake up to recognize their own abilities was also a good thing!

However, those Lian Clan members whose interests had been damaged had actually gone straight to Lian Chi Tong to complain, even affecting his cultivation. This... was something she absolutely would not allow.

A cold gleam flashed in Lian Qingzhu's eyes. "Have those people forgotten why Teacher Phantom Spirit King accepted me as her disciple?"

"Enough, you need not worry about this matter!" Lian Qingzhu came back to her senses. Seeing that Lian Chi Tong still looked worried, she smiled and said, "As for Blood Demon King, I'll discuss it with the ancestor. I'm sure he'll have a solution!"

"Understood, Great Elder!" Lian Chi Tong nodded. He still wanted to say something, but—

"Beep beep..."

His communications wristguard rang. An email had arrived. He opened it casually, but as he read on, his expression turned to shock and delight. "Great Elder, the ancestor's title is Blood-Robed Marquis, right?"

"Yes. What is it?" Lian Qingzhu asked curiously.

Lian Chi Tong read out each word distinctly. "I received a mass email from the company, sent to all members with Immortal-level authority or above. Its contents are: Congratulations to Blood-Robed Marquis for becoming a King Level Immortal, with the title 'Holy Heart King'!"

"The ancestor has become a King Level Immortal!"

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island, within his own temple.

Lian Luo was receiving a delegation of envoys sent by the Hong Alliance. After a round of discussion, he smiled and agreed to join the Hong Alliance, becoming a one-star member.

Not long after seeing off the Hong Alliance envoys, Lian Luo was about to log off when he received an unfamiliar call request.

"Who is this?" Lian Luo connected the call with some confusion.

On the other side of the screen stood an Immortal God clad in scarlet battle armor. An overbearing, bloody aura radiated from him.

Lian Luo looked at him. "May I ask who you are?"

"Holy Heart King!" The Immortal God in scarlet battle armor smiled. "I am Blood Demon King!"

"Blood Demon King?" Lian Luo nodded slightly. His face revealed nothing, but he was curious about why Blood Demon King had contacted him.

Blood Demon King explained with a smile, "It's like this... and then..."

Blood Demon King carefully described how Lian Chi Tong had sentenced his subordinates to death, as well as everything that had happened afterward.

Then, with a hint of embarrassment, he said, "I only recently learned that those people under my command had actually acted on their own initiative, using commercial means to suppress and retaliate against the Lian Family!"

As he spoke, Blood Demon King glanced at Lian Luo. Seeing that he did not appear angered, he continued, "I have already severely punished those subordinates. At the same time, to compensate the Lian Family for its losses, I have specially prepared a gift for you, Holy Heart King. I hope our two families can turn conflict into friendship from now on!"

As he spoke, Blood Demon King sent over an anonymous Cosmic Star River Bank account and a long string of passwords. A number was attached at the end.

1 billion!

1 billion Chaos Units!

Seeing that number, Lian Luo smiled. "Blood Demon King, since you did not know of this matter beforehand, then let this matter end here!"
