You Have No Idea How Rich the Tang Sect Was Twenty Thousand Years Ago-Today's Tang Sect Isn't Fit to Carry Its Shoes
Just as Yin Hongye was about to Destruction the Tang Sect, a figure rushed out of the city.
It was a middle-aged man, dressed in the standard long robe of Tang Sect Branch Minister, with the Tang Sect patterns embroidered on the sleeves. He rose into the air, blocking the Dragon Mecha, his face pale, but he still managed to stand upright.
Li Yunzhe, a veteran of the Tang Sect.
As the Tang Sect's representative on behalf of the Dou Ling Empire, his position within the Tang Sect is equivalent to that of Inner Hall Master. Having worked for the Dou Ling Empire for over thirty years, he is a true regional lord within the Tang Sect.
The Tang Sect's main sources of income are several, including the production and sale of soul-guided weapons, the research and development of Soul Guidance Technology, and the control and allocation of resources.
The Douluo Continent is resource-scarce, and the price of the same rare metals there is far higher than in the Douluo Continent Dou Ling Continent and the Star Luo Continent. This is the fundamental reason why the Douluo Continent is waging war.
In terms of resources, the Tang Sect naturally sources them primarily from the Dou Ling and Star Luo Empire continents.
All of the Tang Sect's technological research and development comes from itself, so the Federation cannot legally challenge it. In addition, Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are closely linked, and with the two organizations united, even the Federation dares not act rashly.
Of course, this was before Yin Hongye appeared.
Even when Yin Hongye was weak, it still dared to rob wealthy people, especially families of support-type Soul Master. After being robbed, these wealthy people would mostly seek help from forces like the Tang Sect. As for the Federation... no one ever asked it for help; its efficiency was too low.
They also recruit people from time to time!
Yin Hongye perfectly occupied the moral high ground, carrying a special label that made her impossible to hate.
After all, his blood's vitality remained strong even after leaving his body, and its aura was even stronger.
"Red Lotus Douluo!" Li Yunzhe shouted, his voice sounding somewhat weak in the aftershocks of the dragon's breath, "The Tang Sect has no enmity with the Federation, why are you attacking my Tang Sect stronghold?"
"Just a small matter," Yin Hongye said softly. "Anyway, did the Federation agree to you providing the Dou Ling Empire with technology?"
"Isn't this just like the Holy Spirit Cult, deliberately trying to sow discord among our three continents?"
"You..." Li Yunzhe was speechless. Once this accusation was leveled against him, he couldn't refute it. Although they hadn't given the most advanced technology to the Dou Ling Empire and the Star Luo Empire, how vague was this guy's prophecy?
Given the relatively abundant resources of the Star Luo Continent and the Dou Ling Continent, if their technology reaches or even surpasses that of the Douluo Federation, then a reverse war is not impossible.
Of course, that's wishful thinking.
Releasing just one of them would be enough to give them a run for their money.
However, Li Yunzhe's biggest flaw was his stubbornness and self-will. He had been the head of the Dou Ling branch for thirty years, and his word was law. He had never been questioned like this before.
His face flushed red, and he stubbornly retorted, "The Tang Sect doesn't need to report its actions to the Federation. Our business dealings with Dou Ling are mutually agreeable."
"It's a mutual agreement." Yin Hongye nodded. "Alright. I'll agree to it now. I'll take over your Tang Sect branch."
Li Yunzhe's expression changed drastically. "You dare!"
"What wouldn't I dare to do? Is there anything on this continent that I care about?" Yin Hongye's voice was calm as he controlled the mechanical dragon, raising its claws. Colorful light shone from the tips of the claws, and with a single swipe, he tore through the void.
Space was torn apart like cloth by sharp claws, and dark purple light surged from the cracks. Clearly, the power of this attack had surpassed that of Limit Douluo.
Li Yunzhe's expression changed drastically. He tried to retreat, but the dragon claw had already pressed down on his head.
"Red Lotus Douluo! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
"Ghosts? That's rare. If ghosts really existed, some people would have died long ago," Yin Hongye said calmly.
The dragon claw descended, and the spatial rift closed around Li Yunzhe, swallowing him whole. Not even a scream was left behind; only a wisp of the Tang Sect clothing drifted into the air.
On the city walls of New Heaven Dou City, the garrison watched this scene, lowering their Soul Cannon one after another.
There was only despair in his eyes, absolute despair.
The difference is simply too great.
Then they witnessed something even more terrifying.
Beneath the wings of the Dragon Mecha, countless hatches opened simultaneously. A massive swarm of drones poured out of the hatches, spreading like a bee and pressing towards the city wall.
Direct control can be achieved through the Intelligent Entity developed by Mu Hongchen, which can be considered Federation technological product that surpasses the Sea God.
Those drones were small, each only the size of a palm, but they were extremely fast and their flight paths were completely unpredictable.
The defenders hastily raised their Soul Cannon to return fire, but they missed completely.
The drone was decorated with Soul Tool Turret, a defensive array, and ammunition boxes.
Self-destruct.
One after another, they exploded silently. The Soul Tool Turret on the city walls were reduced to piles of scrap metal, and the light screen of the defensive array flickered twice before going out completely.
Before the defenders could react, a second wave of drones had already swept in, covering the sky.
They should be realistic; Yin Hongye hasn't developed Pym Particles yet, otherwise it would be his turn to demonstrate the allure of a mobile military factory.
The city wall collapsed section by section, and the defending soldiers fled in panic, no longer even thinking of fighting back.
The nobles inside the city—no, they should be those outside the city; the city only had soldiers, no nobles.
They ran away long ago.
Yin Hongye didn't care. In the end, they would all be locked in cages and forced to run wildly in the wheels day and night. This would allow them to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy, thus providing a continuous source of power for the Mining Machine.
The elderly, the infirm, the disabled, and those who die from overwork can be made into special side dishes or sent directly to generate electricity.
The Federation was not originally going to support it, but Xu Tiankuo was in charge at the top, and he was the only one who opposed it, while everyone else agreed to the proposal.
Therefore, the Public Opinion cannot be upheld.
Moreover, the thought of resettling civilians from other continents was quite troublesome; they also had to develop the region and guard against riots.
Yin Hongye's plan was truly excellent, a perfect plan.
This approach can properly resettle these people, encourage them to voluntarily create labor value, and allow them to expend their excess energy.
This is truly a brilliant plan that achieves three goals at once.
Of course, if the Ghost Emperor knew about this plan, he wouldn't doubt that these people didn't have vengeful spirits after they died.
With that much resentment, one could probably raise several Evil Soul Master Titled Douluo.
Who exactly is the Evil Soul Master?
Even the Ghost Emperor would feel that he had to bow down and look down upon Yin Hongye's moral standards.
The battle ended, Mecha hovered above New Heaven Dou City.
Qian Renxue stood on the back of the Mecha, looking at the ruins below, and suddenly spoke.
"Speaking of the Tang Sect, were these people this arrogant ten thousand years ago?"
"More or less," Yin Hongye sneered. "The Tang Sect is tied to the Shrek Academy, and has been a major player in the Federation for ten thousand years. On the surface, they are a sect, but in reality, they are arms dealers."
"Ten thousand years ago, the Tang Sect declined. Although the Soul Tool played a part, the bigger reason was actually their own actions. But it must be admitted that the Tang Sect was truly wealthy Twenty Thousand Years Ago. Judging from what they did, in terms of wealth, the current Tang Sect doesn't even deserve to be supported by the Tang Sect of that era."
"What's the reason, and how wealthy are they?"
