National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 204 Flexible Bottom Line

"The sin is committed in this generation, but the merit will be passed down to future generations!"

Hearing Wu Ying's words, Lin Zhi burst into laughter.

It was as if I had heard a huge joke.

"What a great crime committed in this age, but a great achievement for generations to come!"

"Then do you plead guilty?"

Lin Zhi stared at Wu Ying.

"My sin is that I failed to become a final product and save civilization!" Wu Ying said loudly.

"Very good. Let future generations judge your merits and demerits. My duty now is to judge your sins and send you to hell."

Lin Zhi waved his hand, and Wu Ying was sucked into his palm and his head was grabbed.

Ten thousand swords emerged from the palm of his hand, piercing through the ceiling, penetrating Wu Ying's body and drilling into the ground.

Wu Ying's body was destroyed, but his soul emerged and was sucked into and refined by the black lotus of destruction.

"I will pass on my Sword Bearer's Judgment Order. Sword Bearers from all the alliances, departments, bureaus, and offices will arrest the following people according to the list from now on. Anyone who resists or obstructs the investigation will be killed without mercy!"

Lin Zhi's voice spread throughout the alliance through the Infinite Skynet.

Countless noble families of the Wu family were terrified.

The noble families other than the Wu family all restrained themselves and temporarily avoided the spotlight.

……

Zhongzhou World Tree, Zhao Family, several elders came to pay homage to the leader.

"Zhao Hao, if we do this, will it force us to become enemies with other families?"

A white-haired old man asked with a worried look on his face.

The handsome man smiled slightly, raised his hand and offered a cup of tea to the old man.

He said, "Uncle Qian is overthinking. With the seven great families in Zhongzhou in charge, the other families dare not speak out. Besides, the cleansing of the Wu family did not harm their interests in general. On the contrary, the disappearance of the Wu family has created huge benefits."

"That's exactly why I'm worried! You and I both know that the ruling class of the alliance is getting bigger and bigger, and the lower classes are gradually unable to support the ruling class. Although we have been promoted to world status several times, it is still a temporary solution."

Qian Lao sighed and said, "But human greed is terrible. Everyone understands this truth, but still cannot control their hands.

Because the development of family power is like sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will fall behind. If we don't fight and compete, we will be surpassed and replaced by the families below.

We are also a noble family, but our status is too high. Although we are in the same camp as other noble families, we are not in the same camp.

In the eyes of other noble families, our alliance leader families are the biggest borers of the alliance. I am afraid that this action will not only fail to serve as a warning to others, but will also alert the enemy, allowing these noble families to unite and overthrow us. "

"Uncle Qian, I was the one who led this plan, so of course I will bear all the consequences. Isn't that why you didn't do anything to stop it?"

A smile appeared on Zhao Hao's face.

Even though he calls him Uncle Qian all the time, their alliance leader's family is not of the same mind either.

How could three days in the sky be better than having the sun overhead?
If any of the alliance's leading families, such as the Zhao family, the Qian family, or the Sun family, falls, the remaining families will have further control over the alliance.

When there is only one family left in the alliance, how can there be conflicts of interest and desires?
Under the extraordinary power, at that time, there will only be one "Lord God" to rule the kingdom of God.

It’s not just the Wu family that wants to become the final beneficiary!
And all those noble families in the alliance!
Seeing Zhao Hao asking the question, Uncle Qian remained calm and continued, "Xiao Hao, I'm afraid you can't control this sword! This double-edged sword can not only hurt others, but also yourself."

"So, you want to persuade me to break this sword?" Zhao Hao asked with a raised eyebrow.

Uncle Qian did not answer directly, but slowly said, "Professor Meng was born in a grassroots family. It took him only a hundred years to make a name for himself as the second largest library in the alliance.

When he taught at Yujun University, his research topic was civilization. All the graduate students he brought up were extraordinary and were well-known figures in the alliance.

Unexpectedly, his son Meng Xingchen was even better than his father. He became famous in the alliance when he was only in his twenties, and his reputation was heard throughout the entire alliance in his thirties. He led the human race to victory in the World of Wild Beasts, and his contribution was equivalent to that of the sages of our eight major families.

Now, if you appoint Lin Zhi as the Swordbearer, he will step on the corpses of the Wu family and become the new hero of the Alliance.

Professor Meng has three saints in one family. This is too scary!"

Old Qian looked at Zhao Hao with a sharp gaze and spoke word by word.

"When the birds and beasts are gone, the good bows are hidden. If you want to break this sword, do it now!"

Hearing this, Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on his face, and asked:
"Meng Xingchen, can you beat him?"

Qian Lao's expression changed, and then he said, "With the combined strength of our seven families, it is possible for us to fight. No matter how strong Meng Xingchen is, does he have the combat power to truly surpass the half-step epic level now?"

"You have?"

Zhao Hao looked at him.

“Your Zhao family’s Seven-Star Great Wall and Nine Cauldrons have completed themselves and are on the road to ultimate achievement, right? Add to that my Qian family’s Spark Particle Tower and Falling Treasure Elm Seeds, and the Sun family’s... nearly ten spiritual plants that have surpassed the complete form. Can’t they beat Meng Xingchen?” Old Qian showed a confident smile on his face.

"Whether we win or lose, we can see what happens in the next battle."

Zhao Hao pointed to the chessboard in front of the two people, and saw the situation of the Wu family's land displayed on it.

"After such a long time, Wu Qingfeng must have successfully activated the Long River of Time, right?"

"Yes, there is also the River of Time! This transcendent spiritual plant has just been promoted to its complete form not long ago, so it is a good opportunity to test its combat power.

I guess Lin Zhi is definitely not Wu Qingfeng's opponent. As long as we force Meng Xingchen to come out to rescue us, we can understand Meng Xingchen's true strength through this battle."

A smile appeared on Old Qian's face, and then he exclaimed in admiration.

"Xiao Hao, you are really resourceful. This is a brilliant move. You kill three birds with one stone!"

……

In the Wu family's land, a spiritual plant shaped like a wooden shuttle slowly rose up, and a curtain of light passed through the shuttle like a rolling river, forming an endless ribbon in the air.

A figure appeared out of nowhere in the air.

"Junior, you passed!"

The old man was so cold that he spoke.

"Stop talking nonsense. Is this spiritual plant the last trump card of your Wu family? Then you can go down now."

Lin Zhi deliberately provoked the other party.

However, Wu Qingfeng remained unmoved. Instead, he waved his hand, and human figures appeared on the ribbons.

"Young man, today is your end."

As soon as he finished speaking, figures emerged from the ribbons and quickly transformed into half-step epic or legendary warriors.

What surprised Lin Zhi was that these figures were all the people he had just killed.

"I have the River of Time. As long as there are marked souls, I can cross time and space and bring them back from the moment before their death."

Wu Qingfeng laughed and said, "What ability do you have to fight me?"

Each Half-Step Epic still retains the memory of "the second before death".

The moment they were "resurrected", they immediately put up their defenses.

Defensive spiritual plants surrounded Wu Qingfeng and quickly formed a formation.

One after another, half-step epics emerge from the long river of time.

Then they attacked Lin Zhi.

"Your fighting power is indeed very strong, but no matter how strong you are, there is no limit, right?"

An expression of confidence of victory appeared on Wu Qingfeng's face.

"Although my Long River of Time is not a real Long River of Time, it is still no problem to constantly summon the strong men from the past."

"Every time they die and revive, they will have memories from before their death, thus enriching their experience in fighting you. They are always improving, while more and more of your trump cards are being exposed."

"What can you do to defeat me?"

Wu Qingfeng laughed wildly. "Oh?"

Lin Zhi also laughed. He thought that the Wu family's shadow tree would evolve into some kind of spiritual plant, but he didn't expect it to be a time and space spiritual plant.

Space-time system...

He slowly summoned a large tree full of clock fruits.

Countless time numbers flowed down from the big tree, turning into a river that enveloped the forest.

Then, round clocks condensed on the six-colored lotus armor on his entire body.

"Too bad, I have time to wander!"

Lin Zhi let out a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that this final battle would be a tough one, but he didn't expect that his spiritual plant would just be able to restrain the opponent.

Fortunately, he successfully synthesized the time-space walk before coming here.

As he walked forward, time and space around him stopped.

He dodged and came in front of Wu Qingfeng.

"Now, you are alone, right?"

Wu Qingfeng's face was covered with sweat and he stepped back in fear.

"No, that's impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Lin Zhi said, "It is fate that your Wu family will be destroyed!"

Lin Zhi swung his sword and chopped off a head, which flew out.

A streak of light emerged from the head and fled into the distance.

Lin Zhi waved his hand, and the powerful suction force grabbed Liu Guang and dragged him in front of him.

"Chief Wu, you haven't been tried yet, where are you going?"

"No, this is impossible... By the way, if you let my Wu family go, all the assets of my Wu family will belong to you!"

Wu Qingfeng said in horror.

"The property belongs to me?"

"Yes, I'll give it all to you. Without my help, you won't be able to control or receive these properties, and they will only benefit the wolves and tigers outside."

"Property accumulated through bloodshed, dirty money that cannot be seen in public?"

Lin Zhi shook his head slowly.

"For the sake of civilization, you should go on your way! Death is your greatest contribution to the Alliance, and it can be considered as your sacrifice for the country."

Lin Zhi pinched Wu Qingfeng, and he screamed and wailed. His soul disintegrated piece by piece and was absorbed by the black lotus of destruction.

At this point, the Wu family was completely destroyed.

Half a month later, Lin Zhi discovered through the Infinite Skynet that all the noble families belonging to the Wu family had been tried.

The alliance ushered in a carnival.

He naturally became the true "Sword Bearer" of the alliance.

……

In Zhongzhou, Old Qian looked at Zhao Hao.

"Xiao Hao, what do you think we should do about this? Can this sword still be broken?"

Zhao Hao looked at him as if he was a fool.

"Do you know the true strength of Meng Xingchen now? Just his apprentice can destroy the entire Wu family with just one sword. How terrifying is his strength?"

"Even if we win, I'm afraid the alliance is already in tatters. How can we deal with gentleman civilization in the future?"

"So...are we just going to let it go like this?" Old Qian said unwillingly.

"What do you want? A fight to the death? Isn't it because of our flexible bottom line that our family has been able to survive for so many years?"

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "We haven't fallen out with each other. On the surface, we are from the same faction! So what if the other party grows up?

As long as the alliance exists, the alliance's system and laws will exist, and at most the title of the leader family will be given to them."

"That's right. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood." Old Qian's expression relaxed.

“No, we may have to remain dormant forever and become a first- or second-rate family below the family founded by Meng Xingchen in the future.

As long as you ensure that the inheritance is not extinguished, there will always be a child of destiny in the future, and sooner or later there will be a chance to lead your family to rebuild its glory."

Zhao Hao smiled.

"I understand." Old Qian nodded silently with an unhappy look on his face.

"The future will be the era of the Meng family. You and I are not as discouraged as we are. We should do our part well. I'm afraid Meng Xingchen has no intention of replacing us.

At this congressional election, I will also give up the position of leader, and it will be your Qian family's turn to take this position."

"So soon? Don't you still have a hundred years left in your term?"

Mr. Qian was surprised.

"The Wu family has been dealt with. It is no problem for the alliance to extend its life by a hundred years. I can take a rest now. Let's give this position to the young people!"

"This... you are too abrupt. My Qian family has not yet found someone to take on this important responsibility. No, you must serve for at least another 50 years until my Qian family trains a successor."

"Okay, then I'll serve for another 50 years."

Zhao Hao continued, "This time the parliamentary election will involve a major change."

"Yes, the Wu family has three vacancies at once, plus other people who need to be replaced, there are at least 11 new faces in this parliamentary election.

……

In Qi Yan City, Lin Zhi silently shrank into the Soul Land to count the gains of this battle.

The most numerous things piled up in front of him were the colorful half-step epic soul beads.

"I have collected more than 400 Half-Step Epic Soul Orbs. These soul beads are enough to raise my soul cultivation to the legendary level. It's a pity that I absorbed too many soul beads before, and it will take some time to digest them."

He looked at the data hard drives piled up next to him.

Infinite Skynet read it quickly. It contained various industries of the Wu family in the alliance, such as real estate deeds, land contract, various production, labor, sales and other contracts.

These are just small parts. The Wu family’s largest industries are some shameful underground industries, such as the alliance’s famous Lolita Island, major black markets, some underground lava veins, real estate, food, etc., as well as some infrastructure projects.

The Wu family controls a wide variety of industries, the most important of which is the "entertainment industry."

Because of the advantages of the audio-visual tree, the Wu family's entertainment industry is a very lucrative industry in the alliance.

However, with the demise of the Wu family, most of the black markets will be closed.

Various industries need to be sold off.

After he sorted out all the account books, he sent a message to the alliance leader Zhao Hao.

"Master Alliance Leader, according to the prior agreement, all the properties I seized from the Wu family should belong to me. Here are the account books. I need to entrust you to close and destroy all these black markets. The remaining legitimate properties will be sold."

"Okay. Leave everything to me!"

"In addition, there are too few Sword Wielders, and I need to recruit more Sword Wielders. In addition to the Zhongzhou headquarters, I need to set up county headquarters in each county and station a legion to suppress the Nine Provinces." Lin Zhi said slowly.

"Expand enrollment? What do you want to do?"

Zhao Hao suddenly raised his voice.
