Above Destiny

Chapter 734 Things have come to this point, let's have a meeting first.
The broken Iron Enclosure Mountain and the Defeat Collided Once Again, Spreading Out Rolling Waves.

On the endless sea, celestial beings and humans clashed fiercely.

In an instant, it traveled hundreds of miles and disappeared...

Yes, Xu Youquan ran away.

Turning around and running away was as if they had made a certain decision.

I have no choice but to run.

The initiative was lost again and again, the defense was broken again and again, and the injuries kept getting worse... Before the fight even started, half of the health bar had already dropped. Now, facing an old man who was clearly there to extort money, was he supposed to stay and fight to the death instead of running away?

Who knows if there are other traps?

With such a large and prosperous family, why would they risk their lives for nothing!
Let's leave first and talk about it later.

Thus, the situation became bizarre, with him running, being chased, and unable to escape.

There was nothing that could be done; Lou Suwen was acting like she was possessed, as if someone had to die today, and anyone who encountered her would be terrified.

If it weren't for the voodoo doll incident, Lao Deng might have had to keep trying to negotiate with Xu Youquan to see if he could find another opportunity. Now that he's saved himself a lot of trouble, why not give him a good beating when he's down?
if not?
After I die, will that bastard Xu Youquan trample on my grave and act like a tyrant?
Everyone is undergoing ascension, a transformation of their spiritual bodies. Traveling to the North Sea in the morning and resting in Cangwu at night is nothing to them. You are fast, and so am I. Xu Youquan fought and retreated, while Lou Suwen fought and pursued.

In just a few snaps of his fingers, he had already covered thousands of miles, and passed through more than a dozen dazzling hands. There were so many sound, light, and electrical effects that Ji Jue couldn't see anything clearly from the satellite.

The violent turmoil has spread from the endless sea, attracting countless eyes... and even bloodthirsty spectators!

People from the Federation, the Thousand Islands, Middle-earth, and even the Empire peered over to watch the spectacle.

yeah?!

Isn't that Lao Lou and Xiao Xu?

A fight broke out?!
Wow, that's awesome! What are you standing there for? Go for his crotch, smash his skull! Yes, yes, that's it! Pull his hair, kick his crotch...

What are you babbling about? Show me the blood flowing like a river!
"Wow! That move, Lie Que, is still as sharp as ever!"

"Xu Youquan, you coward! Can't you even handle this? Go and fight him head-on!"

"Oh my, isn't this Xiao Xu? I haven't seen him for a few days, what happened to make him look so sick?"

"Old dogs fight little dogs, dogs bite dogs, what a lively scene!"

"Old Lou, I'm not one to stir up trouble. The Xu family has been causing trouble for so many years. If I were you, I wouldn't stand for it..."

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! You're not going to kill him by hitting him like this!"

"Hey! I have an idea. Xiao Xu, why don't you go to Wulou Temple and kowtow? Maybe you'll suddenly become powerful after welcoming the great calamity?"

"Wait a minute, our Chongguang Church will definitely come to your aid!"

"That statement wasn't made by our church!"

"Look, there's an honest man here..."

As it turns out, those who enjoy watching the drama never mind making things worse, and they don't care if someone else's child dies. In the midst of this intertwined perception, there was a constant stream of mocking, sarcastic, inflammatory, and encouraging voices.

There were even skewers!
It can only be said that ability and rank have absolutely nothing to do with moral character... but people who lack character and morality are certainly happier!
Amidst all the irrelevant clamor, the two sides gradually became locked in a life-or-death struggle, with turbulent currents surging between the sea and sky, and the light and shadow constantly shifting and flickering.

As the noise gradually faded and the silence settled, some people were already sweating profusely.

The old dog from the Lou family is truly cunning!

Is this guy about to die? He's jumping around like a madman, he's more alive than me!

The lightning bolts appeared and disappeared at will, one hand forcefully clashing with the Iron Wheel and the immense darkness, while the other held the Five Towers and Twelve Cities, with lightning bolts bursting incessantly, beating the Xu family's Five Emperors Great Demon Lord like a dog!
He's an old dog after all; the older he gets, the more vicious he becomes, and the more vicious he becomes, the older he gets. He bites people to death without saying a word, and seizes any opportunity to beat his enemies who have fallen into a pit to a pulp.

The battle caused the ocean to split and the sky to tremble, sending chills down the spines of everyone else.

They hit Xu Youquan so hard that his brains splattered out.

Unfortunately, it can't be killed.

No matter what, the Federation wouldn't be so foolish as to let its own Celestials fight each other to the death...

Just like how in daily life you have to save a penny to earn a penny more, in this kind of situation, if one dies, two are lost. After all, they are under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Supervisor, and even if they are sworn enemies, they still have to abide by the rules. It's about time to fight until a winner is determined.

Just as Lie Que was about to sever Xu Youquan's dog head, a streak of iron light swept across and vanished along with Lie Que. The lightning that descended from the five towers and twelve cities was caught by a white bottle.

The distance between the two seemed to stretch to its limit in an instant, so close yet so far.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! If you keep fighting, someone will die!"

"Sigh, it's not easy for anyone, garlic bird, garlic bird!"

"Hey, Xiao Xu, listen to me, I'm going to talk to you about something today..."

"How about this, everyone give me some face."

After watching Lou Suwen beat Xu Youquan to a pulp, the first few Celestials from the Desolate State began to break up the fight.

An elderly figure appeared between the two men without warning. The incident happened suddenly; the man, who had only shaved halfway, rushed over in a great hurry.

Pang Pei!

Without saying a word, he glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh: "You two families are at it again, aren't you? No, you two sides..."

After reading the ether record books that others handed him and understanding the cause and effect, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Haizhou again? Dongcheng again?
Again?
And what the hell, it's that kid Ji Jue again?!
So you guys just use him to start group battles?
Can't they just find someone else?!
"Alright, get them all tidied up. They're all acting like gods, what kind of behavior is this?"

The old man waved his hand, telling the two to get their expressions straight and stop acting. Then, he pulled open a door from thin air.

They've adopted the usual practice of Tengen...

"Now that things have come to this, let's have a meeting."

In the conference room behind the door, Lü Yingyue, who had arrived earlier, was smiling as she organized the materials and records on the table.

Looking across the long table, at the row of lifeless faces.

Get ready for a meeting!
After the life-or-death struggle outside the conference room ended, the tension continued inside.

After the deafening roar between the sea and the sky subsided, only a deathly silence remained in the ravaged arena; no one spoke during the long silence.

Only Seno, lying on the ground, was foaming at the mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he was on the verge of death.

After a long silence, urged on by everyone's gaze, Minkler finally spoke, coughing twice before asking seriously, "Is it over?"

"It's over."

Ji Jue sat on the steps, flicked his finger, and flicked away a slowly falling ash. "Isn't this over already? Everyone, the blood feud trial has already decided the outcome."

As he spoke, he pointed to the lifeless, two-headed corpse in the room: "Wouldn't it be inconvenient for the family to collect the body?"

“Of course.” The others nodded in agreement.

So, Ji Jue smiled and looked at the few dying guys next to Seno: "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear me?"

He said, "Collect the body!"

So, after a flurry of activity, the body was carefully packed and given to Ji Jue as a stepping stone.

Now, Ji Jue looked at the expressionless Fernand, his smile unchanged: "You may now pronounce your verdict."

"..."

Fernand looked at Ji Jue and suddenly felt like swearing. What the hell am I proclaiming?!
But what can be done now? For the sake of the Seven Cities' decorum and rules, and to end this farce, he had no choice but to step forward and clean up the mess.

The old man sighed and said bluntly, "The outcome is decided. The Sukarno family violated the Seven Cities' Iron Rules and cheated during the Blood Feud Trial. Therefore, they are judged to have lost, and the Chopra family is the victor."

The settlement of bets between the two parties must be completed within seven days, and otherwise…

He paused for a moment and looked at Ji Jue.

Ji Jue was also looking at him.

"The rules of the seven cities cannot be abolished," he said resolutely.

Ji Jue nodded: "The Sukarno family brought this upon themselves and deserved to be expelled from the Seven Cities. I will naturally abide by the rules of the Seven Cities. However, whether the Chopra family will retaliate is not within the jurisdiction of the Seven Cities Council, is it?"

"Besides that?" Fernand asked, his expression grim, pressing for an answer.

"In addition, I would like to trouble you all to be my witnesses."

Ji Jue smiled, raised his hand, and showed the contract: "The contract is clearly written. The Sugano family hereby transfers all rights and interests of Luo Island to me. From now on, I, Ji Jue, will be in charge of all matters on Luo Island... But at the time of doing this, the Seven Cities' judgment has not yet been issued. It shouldn't be against the rules, right?"

For a moment, in the ensuing silence, no one spoke.

What else can I say?

Luo Island is going to be taken over by the Seven Cities? Should you take a look at Lou Yanyue, Lou Zhaoye, and Lou Yuling behind Ji Jue before you speak?

When these three people grinned at you, the blood on their faces hadn't even dried yet!
But what do you want people to say?

Should we say "Welcome"?

There's no such logic in the world! You run up to someone else's table, grab a seat, and expect them to thank you!
Of course, Qicheng could, according to the rules, deny the validity of this contract, then forcibly reclaim Luo Island and refuse to recognize Ji Jue's sovereignty.

Then, Ji Jue will have to pack his bags and leave.

Next, let's have the Lou family pat Qicheng's head and ask: What do you mean by ganging up to set a trap for our family?

Fernand's expression twitched repeatedly, and veins bulged on his forehead.

It's like seeing a turd being repeatedly poked at your forehead... You beast, what are you stirring up?!
Essentially, this is still a multiple-choice question.

It was even an extra question that came with the multiple-choice questions that Sino had just finished.

However, it's up to Fernand to do it.

Choose, Fernand!

Should I choose Ji Jue or Lou Jia?
When faced with two evils, you have to choose the one you like, right?

Fernand remained silent, but the others began to get anxious.

Old man, you absolutely mustn't do anything rash! You need to figure out whether the Lou family or Ji Jue is more difficult to deal with! Although Ji Jue is a real troublemaker, at least there's still room for negotiation. Once the Lou family really steps in, it'll be too late for everyone to cry!

Fernand knew it too, even better than they did.

It seems like a choice, but in reality, there is no choice at all.

Of these two options, they were always left with only one.

"...Although there is no precedent for this, the transfer was completed before the verdict was announced, so according to the laws of the Seven Cities, it is undoubtedly valid."

Fernand sighed dejectedly and took the blame: "However, Mr. Ji, now that you have replaced the Sukarno family in this position, then there must be an explanation for the Sukarno family's actions, right?"

He ultimately chose Ji Jue.

Even if he was forced to make this only choice and took a step back, it doesn't mean that Ji Jue can take it all for granted.

It's like inheriting an estate; you either take nothing or you take it all.

Where can you find someone who only wants the assets and not the debts?
We need to give an explanation!

"Of course, I will abide by the rules of the Seven Cities."

Ji Jue laughed, turned to look at the terrified Senuo, and said angrily, "Breaking the rules, betraying your own people, this is outrageous! Kill them all!"

There was a pop.

Seno, who had just gotten up, collapsed to the ground, nearly screaming in pain.

Immediately afterward, Ji Jue's laughter was heard.

"Kidding."

Ji Jue smiled and stroked Seno's dog head. "It is the most difficult thing to put righteousness before family. The Sucano family was able to turn away from darkness and return to the light, and they did not make a big mistake.

I believe Chief Seno certainly didn't want this to happen either.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right!" Seno nodded frantically, tears streaming down his face. "It was all the subordinates who acted on their own initiative. How could we dare to do something so outrageous and cut ourselves off from the Seven Cities?"

As he spoke, he casually pointed to a corpse that Ji Jue had killed.

It's all his fault!
Fernand hardened his fist.

What the hell are you...

Who was it who was just stubbornly insisting that the loser might not be them?!
"Rest assured, Luo Island will definitely give Qicheng an explanation for this matter!"

Ji Jue firmly assured: "Given that the ringleader has been executed and no major impact has been caused, I don't think it's necessary to exterminate them all, right?"
Of course, such a big matter cannot be left unresolved. Luo Island will also conduct special negotiations and provide compensation for the losses of each party... Please rest assured, I, Ji Jue, have always been a person of integrity and honesty, and I always keep my word. What I promise, I will absolutely do.

However, it seems that Speaker Fernand will have to take the lead in organizing the negotiations and talks.

He paused for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"It shouldn't be too much trouble, right?"

Fernand didn't want to speak, but the others started nodding frantically.

No trouble at all, no trouble at all!

What trouble is there when benefits come knocking on your door?
But Ji Jue remained smiling, saying nothing and responding to nothing.

He only looked at Fernand.

So now the pressure is on Fernand.

Everyone looked over, silently urging them on.

Fernand!
Fernandin, say something!
If you don't speak, he won't move...

Fernand didn't want to talk; he seemed to want to die.

He had just used the rules of the Seven Cities and the opinions of several other families to force Ji Jue to give up some of his interests, and then Ji Jue used those interests to blackmail the rules of the other families and the Seven Cities, forcing Fernandin to agree.

How could he not know what kind of people these bastards are?!

As long as Ji Jue can produce something to shut them up, they will sell out the ownership of Luo Island and the common interests of the seven cities.

Ji Jue wanted the Seven Cities Council and the rules of the Seven Cities to endorse him!

What they wanted was for Fernand to come and talk to them as the speaker, representing the seven cities!

Once the talks start, you never know how long they'll go on. But no matter how the talks turn out, Luo Island will truly belong to the Ji family now.

What if we lose Ro Island and all that's left is Ki Island?
But what could he say?
Let's take a look at the Lou family behind Ji Jue, family members!

Fernand could only sigh wearily and close his eyes.

He nodded helplessly.

"it is good."

And so, the dust settled over the seven cities.

Ji Jue's takeover of Luo Island and the Seven Cities Council is already a foregone conclusion!

Ji Jue arrived at Luo Island in the evening.

The clearing began in the afternoon, while the seven-city joint defense fleet had already surrounded the entire Luo Island by noon.

No sooner had Ji Jue set off from the dueling arena than the security team, along with the riot cats, openly arrived on Luo Island and took over the security.

From the very beginning, Ji Jue had no intention of reconciliation, nor did he expect the Sukano family to accept their loss. What a joke! Once everyone turned off the lights and put on their masks, they had no shame. Where did they go to talk about any rules of the underworld?
It would be best if Sino cooperated, but if not, he has plenty of ways to deal with it!
Previously, they had been trying to hide it, but now, Deus Ex has taken over Luo Island completely. From communications to transportation, from finance to logistics, everything had already fallen into Ji Jue's hands when Sino signed the contract.

In this situation, with Sino's orders and cooperation, everything went smoothly. Occasionally, a few people would put up a stubborn resistance, but they were all hung up and beaten to death by Liang Mo and his team, who were in hot form.

Calm and tranquil, without any disturbance.

For most people, nothing was even noticed; quietly, Luo Island had already changed owners.

Then, it was Ji Jue's DIY time.

Arrest those who should be arrested, kill those who should be killed, imprison those who should be imprisoned, and smash those that should be smashed!

Even with a prior agreement, Ji Jue wiped out the entire human trafficking network from top to bottom. Those who were too good to kill were all reassigned to new jobs to ensure they could start anew and contribute their last value to the world.

The greatest contribution Sano could make was ensuring a smooth transfer of power, and even the complete transfer of Sukarno's family assets.

It has to be said that no one can get rich without unexpected wealth.

The money that could be made public and laundered was enough for Ji Jue to spend on a large-scale construction and upgrade for a long time. As for the money that couldn't be made public, Ji Jue used it all to expand his material library.

I feel warm inside, warm all over, and warm in my hands.

Hmm, laughing and rubbing the dog's head.

In the head office of the Sino family, Ji Jue sat in Sino's chair, rubbing Sino's head as he listened to Sino's report: all the liquid assets and real estate that needed to be handed over, the investments and industries of the Federation and the Empire, as well as numerous shares and even antiques and precious metals...

Ji Jue listened to the data summary and estimates on the server, nodding slowly, but even after Sino finished speaking, he continued to rub the dog's head.

He simply smiled and asked slowly:
"Other than that?"

"..."

Seno froze, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He stammered, "Besides that, there are some... things from before... but they're all small items, the clansmen's private property, and we can't force them out right now..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Because of Ji Jue's soft sigh.

He fell silent, kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak.

He felt that cold hand, sometimes touching him, sometimes not, resting on his skull, as if it were gripping his very soul.

"Chief Seno, there's something you need to understand—"

Ji Jue slowly said, "There's only ever a choice between dying standing up or living on your knees. If you're going to stand, stand straight; if you're going to kneel, kneel completely. Otherwise, you'll just have to kneel down and wait to die. Understand?"

"If you're going to be a dog, then be a thorough dog."

Ji Jue lowered his head, reminding him for the first and last time:

"Only what I give you can truly be yours!"

"Yes!"

Seno knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation.

Only cold sweat kept seeping from his forehead and back, and he gasped for breath in fear.

"As long as you know."

After wiping his hands clean, Ji Jue picked up his teacup and said, "Go ask again to see if there are any oversights, and then reorganize your words before reporting back."

I have limited time, so let's not waste too much time.

"Yes Yes."

Sano staggered to his feet, swallowed two pills, forced himself to stay awake, and hurriedly left.

Lou Yanyue swaggered in through the open door.

"Hey, you're really enjoying yourself." Lou Yanyue sat down opposite him, put her feet up on the table, and swung them around casually: "This business is really good."

"Do you want it? Here you go." Ji Jue didn't care at all.

"forget it."

Lou Yanyue waved her hand: "You got it with your own ability, what would I do with it? I can't afford to lose face like that."

"Have some tea, at least the tea leaves are good."

Ji Jue handed over the teacup and asked with a smile, "You came over in such a hurry... Is there any news from the Federation?"

The meeting on this side has just ended.

The meeting on the other end has also ended.

(End of this chapter)
