I Found You a Franchisee

Lu Yang felt that his master was quite popular; even though he was in prison, so many people still cared about him.

Seven senior brothers, one senior sister, and my beloved eldest disciple.

In just a few minutes, Master gained several more Heavenly King titles. I really hope to tell this good news to the old man.

He would probably be so happy that he'd break free of his cage and personally thank his senior classmates for their concern.

Yun Zhi didn't bother thanking him, since he couldn't beat her.

"I think Master should decide for himself what title he should have as Heavenly King. Senior Sister, are you the leader of the Heavenly Court Sect?"

Yun Zhi thought for a moment, then looked at Lu Yang seriously and asked, "You just said that the Lord of Heaven is Dou Tianzun, is he the Fairy Senior?"

In the spiritual space, the Immortal Fairy stood with her hands on her hips, exuding confidence. Since the elders were present, it was inconvenient for her to appear in person, so she sent a telepathic message to Yun Zhi.

"That's right, you didn't expect me to be the ruler of Heaven! I am the head of the Five Immortals of High Antiquity, more than qualified to be the ruler of Heaven!"

"I thought you were going to give me the title of Cloud Celestial Venerable and make me the Lord of the Heavenly Court."

The immortal fairy was so frightened that she dared not utter a sound.

Originally, Lu Yang planned to make his senior sister the Lord of the Heavenly Court, since she was quite reliable. It was only after the Immortal Fairy persuaded him that Lu Yang changed Yun Tianzun to Dou Tianzun.

This must absolutely not be told to Yun Zhi.

"Very well, leader it is then." Yun Zhi readily agreed.

Lu Yang was overjoyed; this sect leader was much more reliable than the Lord of Heaven.

Having dealt with the High Antiquity Heavenly Court Lord, the Heavenly Court Sect Leader, and the Nine Protectors, Lu Yang reaped considerable rewards.

After the elders dispersed, they were still pondering what the Silent Daoist should be called.

"Old Jiu improved the size of the Ruyi scepter, and it's selling like hotcakes in the market. How about calling it the King of Growth?"

"This name is good, I'll vote for it."

"I'll vote too."

The Eighth Elder, meanwhile, reminisced animatedly about his past exploits in deceiving the Nine Nether Sect.

"I never expected the Nine Nether Sect to be so rich; I was quite shocked when I saw it."

"Who can argue with that? With this money, I replaced all my magical Law Treasure with high-end ones, and I'm still using this set now!"

"Back then, I was very wealthy when I went to auctions, and I would specifically pick the final items to buy. Once, I even bought a mysterious item that even the Chamber of Commerce couldn't identify. fortuitous opportunity chance, I discovered that it was a map, and the map marked a treasure location. Later, I found the location marked on the map, and sure enough, I found the treasure!"

"No wonder everyone got roughly the same amount of Spirit Stone back then, but you spent money way more lavishly than any of us. Turns out you even had an unexpected bonus!"

"Doing good deeds brings good luck."

Lu Yang remembered that he hadn't told the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect about opening a chain of stores, so he told his senior sister and headed to the barbecue restaurant on the commercial street.

At the barbecue restaurant, he encountered someone who shouldn't have been there—Qin Yanyan, who was eating kebabs.

"Sigh, this doesn't taste as good as what I had in Yanjiang County, but it's still acceptable."

Master Liu and Master Gao had never been challenged so much in their professional field. Hearing Qin Yanyan's words, they pulled out all the stops, determined to grill skewers that would satisfy Qin Yanyan!

"My dear niece, what are you doing here?"

Qin Yanyan, her mouth greasy with food, looked up, still chewing on a skewer, enjoying her meal. After a few chews and a labored swallow, she explained, "A senior student named Zhou Lulu said there's a barbecue restaurant on the commercial street with the same name as the one you opened in Yanjiang County. I wondered if this was the original branch and what the food was like, so I came to eat here."

When Master Liu and Master Gao saw Lu Yang, they greeted him with a standard bow, "Boss Lu!"

Lu Yang was startled; when did he become a boss?

Actually, Master Liu and Master Gao didn't know why, but the Immortal Immortal instructed them to treat Lu Yang the same courtesy they had shown him.

After all, Lu Yang is the second-in-command of the Immortal lineage, and his status is even higher than that of the Immortal Immortals.

Lu Yang asked Master Liu to contact the Immortal Cult leader, who was still at the slaughterhouse, and to tell him that he had something to say.

"They call you boss. Do you own this shop too? Who are they?" Qin Yanyan asked curiously.

"I guess you could say I own this place. To be precise, the one in Yanjiang County is the main branch, and this is the first branch. The chefs who grilled your skewers, Master Liu and Master Gao, are both former vice leaders of the Immortal Cult."

Qin Yanyan was startled. She hadn't expected the person who grilled the skewers for her to be so important. In the Ask Dao Sect, was the former vice leader of the Immortal Sect only fit to grill skewers?

"The one coming soon is the former leader of the Immortal Cult, who runs a slaughterhouse at the Ask Dao Sect and is a major supplier to the barbecue restaurant."

Qin Yanyan was even more shocked. The vice leader and the leader of the Ask Dao Sect had completely taken over the Immortal Sect and brought them all here for labor reform.

The way she looked at Lu Yang was strange. Why was the former vice leader of the Immortal Sect so respectful to him? And could he summon the leader of the Immortal Sect at any time?

Even if the higher-ups of the Immortal Cult are imprisoned, they shouldn't be so friendly towards a Golden Core disciple.

Could it be that Lu Yang holds an extremely high position within the Immortal Cult?

Qin Yanyan felt as if she had inadvertently discovered a huge, unspeakable secret.

Upon hearing Lu Yang's message, the cult leader rushed over, followed by three female ghosts who looked quite familiar.

"Little Five, Little Six, Little Seven, shouldn't you be in Ancient Locust Town?"

Xiao Qi stepped forward and explained, "True Lord was worried that the Nine Nether Sect would investigate Young Master Lu's situation with us, so he ordered us all to be brought back to the Ask Dao Sect to follow Sect Leader Xie."

It took Lu Yang a moment to realize who "Dai True Lord" was in Xiao Qi's words—it was Senior Brother Dai Bufan.

Senior Brother Dai Bufan possesses the cultivation Body Integration Realm, which is sufficient for him to be addressed as a "True Lord".

Lu Yang didn't think Dai Bufan was anything special, as he was often easily startled. But in the eyes of Xiao Qi and the Three Ghosts, Dai Bufan was an untouchable powerhouse who had to be treated with utmost respect.

"We usually help Master Xie at the slaughterhouse, and incidentally absorb the yang energy of the livestock to maintain the stability of our souls."

The cult leader knew that Lu Yang knew the three female ghosts, so he brought them over to prove to Lu Yang that he was good to them.

"Second Master!" The immortal appeared, his attitude respectful.

Lu Yang's eyes twitched upon hearing this; he knew without guessing that the Immortal Fairy was behind it all.

"Boss Lu, what are your instructions?" Lu Yang was originally going to settle accounts with the Immortal Fairy, but the sect leader's words interrupted Lu Yang train of thought.

"It's not really an instruction, I just came to let you know that your plan to expand the barbecue restaurant has just been approved by Senior Sister."

When the topic of allowing the Nine Nether Sect to open a barbecue restaurant was raised in the council hall, the eldest sister did not object, which should be considered as approval.

"That's great!" The higher-ups of the Immortal Cult hadn't expected Lu Yang to act so quickly.

"Not only that, I've also found franchisees for you. They'll be fully responsible for expanding the barbecue restaurant, and they're absolutely reliable."

"And who are the franchisees?" The cult leader hadn't expected Lu Yang to be so concerned about this matter.

"Nine Nether Sect"

"Who?"
