The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 357 Taking over
Shameless!
At this moment, Jing Zhengyang, Wu Changfeng, Lu Qianshan, and Li Guiren were almost simultaneously cursing Yaoguang for being shameless in their hearts.

If Yaoguang had not mastered the thirteenth-level formation, the Tiandu Dragon-Slaying Formation, he would not have dared to say such words. With the presence of the two great Void-Refining Realm masters, Wu Changfeng and Jing Zhengyang, plus the dozen or so Cave Void Realm powerhouses in the field, they might really do as he said, lose their minds in a fit of anger, and kill the deputy leader, and then find a way to put the blame on the Yinyue Sect's evil cultivators.

But now, you have mastered the city defense formation.

The power of the thirteenth-level formation is so great that even a supreme elder in the Shattered Void Realm could be trapped to death if it came under the supervision of a powerful Void Refining Realm expert.

Do these two great refining virtual beings and a dozen or so cave virtual beings dare to challenge Yaoguang, the refining virtual being, here?

I simply don't know how to write the word death.

But then again, if Yaoguang didn't master the Tiandu Dragon-Slaying Formation, he might not be willing to enter Nandu.

It may not necessarily turn the table over directly.

In the final analysis, Yaoguang, who occupies a righteous position, has a huge advantage.

The two sides have unequal trump cards, so even a fight to the death is difficult.

As long as Yaoguang is stronger, there are plenty of ways to control them.

Yaoguang obviously understood this, so he did the same.

Rather...

Neither Wu Changfeng nor Jing Zhengyang dared to take action.

Because once they take action, even if they win in the end, they will definitely have to pay with Yaoguang's life.

The death of a deputy leader is a huge matter.

Even the Grand Elder and the Sect Master couldn't suppress him together.

Not to mention that they may not even win.

The two great Void-Refining Masters did not dare to act rashly. Without anyone to back them up, the dozen or so powerful Void-Refining Masters were naturally silent as well.

The momentum was completely suppressed by Yaoguang.

"Haha, Master Yaoguang, please calm down. Master Jing was drunk just now and was confused for a moment, so he spoke without thinking. I offended you, please forgive me."

After a while, Wu Changfeng stood up again and greeted people: "Today is the day we welcome Master Yaoguang. We shouldn't talk about unhappy things, nor should we be disturbed by other things. Just do as Master Yaoguang said. Come on, let's continue drinking."

"Oh, is that so?"

Yaoguang seemed to be thinking about something.

"Of course, of course."

Wu Changfeng hurriedly pushed Jing Zhengyang secretly.

Thinking of the power of the Tiandu Dragon Slaying Formation, and the fact that Wu Changfeng obviously did not intend to fight to the death with him, Jing Zhengyang calmed down and forced a smile on his face: "I drank too much and talked nonsense. Please forgive me, Master Yaoguang. I will drink a glass as punishment."

When the other Dongxu people in the field saw this scene, they all understood in their minds that Jing Zhengyang and Wu Changfeng had lost in this round of confrontation with Deputy Head Yaoguang.

A crushing defeat.

This deputy head is really not an easy person to deal with.

Southern Region...

It's going to change.

"Then continue to play music and dance, and don't let other things spoil our fun."

Yaoguang's voice rang out again at the banquet.

The originally tense atmosphere quickly dissipated.

……

This welcoming banquet lasted for three days, with everyone enjoying the food and enjoying themselves.

One day three days later, the formation that blocked divine thoughts and communications suddenly dissipated.

All of a sudden, all kinds of information were transmitted to everyone's communication jade talisman.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people’s faces were so ugly that they were unbearable to look at.

Yaoguang was also reasonable and raised his glass again: "I have already felt your enthusiasm. We will probably have to work together for a long time. I hope we can live in harmony and create brilliance together in the Southern Region."

Everyone raised their glasses and responded with a smile with difficulty.

"I see that you are all eager to go home, so I won't keep you here any longer. This welcoming banquet will end here. Please do as you please."

Yaoguang said this, bringing the banquet to an end.

As soon as he finished speaking, except Wu Changfeng, Jing Zhengyang, Lu Qianshan, Li Guiren, and the other Dongxu people left the scene as quickly as possible.

They had to go back as soon as possible to clean up the mess and count the losses.

"Does Master Wu have anything to take care of?"

Yaoguang Road.

"The Domain Lord's Mansion still has many things to report to Sect Master Yaoguang. When Sect Master has time, I will report to you one by one."

Wu Changfeng asked with a smile.

"Oh?"

Yaoguang glanced at him.

Compared to others, this Lianxu...

Obviously more difficult to deal with.

But it doesn’t matter.

In a world that combines countless powers, as long as you have enough strength, you can handle anything with ease.

Are those people in the court who call a deer a horse and a mouse a duck really blind or have problems with their brains?

Anyone who thinks this way is truly naive and ridiculous.

In front of a strong person, all unreasonable things will become reasonable. "Then prepare as soon as possible and give me a detailed report on the South Region."

Yaoguang Road.

"Yes."

Wu Changfeng responded respectfully and stepped back.

After Wu Changfeng left, Qi Sha, with a strong smell of blood and murder all over his body, walked in calmly from the other side.

"Lord."

After greeting you, he got straight to the point: "We sent invitations to a total of 1071 chambers of commerce in your name, but only 391 chambers of commerce showed up. We then led the crowd to crack down on the remaining chambers of commerce on the grounds of 'colluding with the Yinyue Sect's demonic cultivators', completely destroying 311 chambers of commerce, severely punishing 259, and letting the rest off because they responded promptly and had a good reputation..."

Yaoguang listened, nodded slightly, and quickly ordered: "Those destroyed and purged chambers of commerce will be handed over to the Ling family, the Chi family, and my family to jointly manage. They are considered the direct industries of the Territory Lord's Mansion..."

"Yes."

Qi Sha agreed.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "Some strange things, most of the stubborn ones are from the Jing family, the Lu family, and the Li family, but the industries that should have belonged to the head of the sect, Zong Wenxian, are very honest. Although some industries have indeed been punished, because they admitted their mistakes very straightforwardly, we don't have a good reason to kill them all."

"It seems that this Lianxu is not easy to deal with."

Yaoguang said with a smile.

But he didn't have much burden in his heart.

By taking control of Nandu, he already has the foundation for his life. All he needs to do next is to calm down and gain a firm foothold in the Refining Void realm. With the Taoist techniques he has mastered, the experience in the Refining Void and Shattering Void realms, as well as the Taoist weapons he possesses, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is invincible in the same realm.

Not to mention the Tiandu Dragon-Slaying Formation.

Wu Changfeng is not considered a member of the Tiandao Sect.

To some extent, he was just an adherent of Zong Wenxian and represented Zong Wenxian's will.

But because he was not a member of the Tiandao Sect, even if he killed him, it would only arouse the anger of Zong Wenxian and would not give the Tiandao Sect an excuse to deal with him.

“Let’s restore order in Nandu as soon as possible.”

Yaoguang said, looking up and said, "To maintain this Tiandu Dragon Slaying Formation for one day, hundreds of thousands of Pure Yang Pills are consumed."

"Yes."

Qi Sha nodded and quickly retreated.

After Qi Sha left, Wan Liugui also came to the domain lord's mansion where Yaoguang was.

"Master."

His expression was somewhat serious. "We have learned a little about the industries outside of Nandu in the past few days. Many industries are firmly controlled by the Lu, Li, and Jing families. Ten years from now... to be exact, there are only six years left. When we pay the sect tribute in six years, they will definitely make things difficult for us... unless you, the deputy head, plan to advance the money by then."

"Small things."

Yaoguang said calmly: "Just take back those resource points within six years."

"This... I'm afraid they won't be willing... In fact, if we force them, once they do something destructive... our profits will be greatly reduced for a long time, but there will be no discount on the money we hand over to the sect."

All streams return to the path.

"Don't you see clearly by now? These people are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

Yaoguang said calmly, "They keep saying that they are talking about the 'Yin Yue Sect Demon Cultivator'. I think that's a good excuse. When the time comes, we can just go and take back these resource points on the pretext of helping them fight against the 'Yin Yue Sect Demon Cultivator'. As for whether they really destroyed those resource points... let the sect ask the peak master behind them, or even the supreme elder, to ask for it."

"This……"

Wan Liugui was a little dumbfounded.

Is Yaoguang planning to refuse to pay tribute?

This is an act that infringes upon the interests of everyone in the Tiandao Sect. If he is not careful, it will probably cause a backlash from everyone in the Tiandao Sect. At that time, the situation he faces will probably be like that of Sect Leader Song back then, who was directly "suppressed".

"No matter what the Tiandao Sect says, it is just a collection of interests. As long as I can make them see the greater benefits, even if I kill a few special envoys sent by Zongwenxian, his order to deal with me will never be passed in the Supreme Elders Council."

Yaoguang explained: "As for the so-called benefits..."

He glanced at Wan Liugui and said, "You and Qi Sha should maintain the situation in Nandu as soon as possible. In three to five years at the fastest, or seven to eight years at the slowest, Nandu will have an auction that will make a name for itself. As long as this auction goes well, the development of the Southern Region will be worry-free for a long time to come."

Although Wan Liugui didn't understand where Yaoguang's confidence came from, he still responded, "I'll go right away."

Yaoguang nodded.

When I first arrived in Nandu, there were naturally many matters, big and small, that needed to be dealt with.

But Yaoguang handed these matters over to Chi Yu, Ling Ruogu, Wan Liugui and others to deal with.

When it comes to eliminating opposition forces, Qi Sha is asked to step forward.

He himself sat directly at the center of the Tiandu Dragon-Slaying Formation, controlling the greatest killing weapon in Nandu.

With this deadly weapon in hand, no matter how chaotic things get outside Nandu, he can always sit back and relax and keep the overall situation in control.

Half a month later, Wu Changfeng visited Yaoguang again and brought detailed intelligence about the Southern Region.

Compared to the superficial information that Ling Ruogu, Chi Yu and others had inquired about, this information was undoubtedly much more detailed.

Almost all the power entanglements and connections in the entire Southern Region were displayed to him without reservation.

This result surprised Yaoguang a little.

This Wu Changfeng...

Acting too honestly.

The calm before the storm?
Or are you waiting for an opportunity?

or……

He wished he could fight with Zong Wenxian?
After Wu Changfeng delivered this extremely detailed information and said goodbye again, Yaoguang was a little confused.

"So, who do you represent, Zong Wenxian? The remnants left behind by Sect Leader Song? Or... the real Yin Yue Sect demon cultivator?"
