Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 4: The decision of Teng Huayuan, the ancestor of the Teng family
"I've long heard that a brilliant disciple of the Hengyue Sect suddenly perished in a battlefield outside the domain a hundred years ago. I never thought he'd still be alive. Now it seems the rumors weren't reliable."

The first person to speak was an old man in gorgeous clothes. His silver hair was as white as snow, combed meticulously, and he wore an exquisite crown on his head, which added to his majesty.

This person is none other than Teng Huayuan, the ancestor of the Teng family of Zhao State, who is at the early stage of Nascent Soul Realm.

The other old men were also Yuanying stage cultivators from the Zhao State, but they were already thousands of years old, and were far inferior to Lin Che in front of them.

Pu Nanzi, the head of Xuan Dao Sect, shrugged his shoulders and stared at Lin Che who was sitting on a chair sipping tea. He had originally planned to take over Heng Yue Sect, but he had not expected that Lin Che, who disappeared a hundred years ago, would be able to return.

This was clearly beyond his expectations.

Lin Che held the teacup in one hand, leaned back on the chair, and tapped the table lightly with one finger, his movements gentle and silent.

The Yuanying stage experts in the field all frowned slightly at Lin Che's attitude. They were all Yuanying stage ancestors from various major forces, and now they didn't even have their own seats. Wasn't this a bit too much?
The seats in the main hall of Hengyue Sect have all been occupied by Master Huanglong, so there is naturally no room for this group of old guys. Therefore, the expressions of this group of Nascent Soul cultivators are a bit ugly.

Lin Che saw everyone's gazes, but didn't say anything. Instead, he increased the strength of his fingers, tapping the table again and again, starting slowly and then quickly.

In an instant, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the field felt their hearts tremble, and they inexplicably had difficulty breathing. Their faces turned red and their eyes were bloodshot.

All the Yuanying stage masters of Zhao State, including Park Nanzi and the other two, were frightened the moment Lin Che's fingers clicked, and their Yuanying stage almost collapsed.

They had no doubt that if the other party knocked on the table harder for a moment, their Nascent Soul would not be able to withstand the tremendous pressure and would explode.

"Such terrifying spiritual power! This guy has actually reached the Infant Transformation Stage... How is this possible? He's only a hundred years old, yet he's at such a high level!"

Teng Huayuan was horrified. He couldn't believe that Lin Che before him actually had reached the Infant Transformation stage. Was this the genius who had shaken the entire Suzaku Star a hundred years ago?!

Ye Zizai, the leader of the Corpse Yin Sect, was equally horrified. "Is this Lin Che, the prodigy who was famous on Suzaku Star a hundred years ago? With such strength, the entire Zhao Kingdom would be as fragile as an ant in front of him."

Seeing this, Lin Che gradually slowed down the speed of his finger tapping. The complexion of the Nascent Soul Stage experts in the field improved, but the Nascent Soul in their bodies still felt like it would burst at any time.

"I'll wait to see you, senior!"

The cultivators headed by Park Nam-ja immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. After all, in their minds, a cultivator in the God Transformation stage was already invincible. As for the cultivator in the Infant Transformation stage above the God Transformation stage, they could even destroy the entire State of Zhao.

Lin Che calmly drank a sip of tea, then slowly said, "Didn't you all come here to learn about my realm?"

Park Nanzi replied, sweat dripping down his face, "Senior, we are all cultivators from the State of Zhao. We have long heard of your fame. Upon hearing the news of your return, we came to Hengyue Sect in person to celebrate with you. We have no ulterior motives."

The other cultivators responded in the same way, fearing that Lin Che would slap them to death without hesitation.

The world of cultivation has always been one of intrigue and deception, with the strong preying on the weak. Only the strong can survive. As for the weak, they can only please the strong to survive. At this time, Li Muwan personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Che and quietly watched what was happening before her. She had previously thought that Senior Brother Lin Che was only at the Jindan stage.

However, I didn't expect that he had already reached the infant transformation stage, which was enough to shake the entire Suzaku Star. Is this the true talent and strength of my senior brother?

Lin Che took a sip of tea, glanced at the crowd, and said slowly, "From now on, the Hengyue Sect will no longer offer any tribute to the fourth-level cultivation nation. The other sects will also need to pay the Hengyue Sect 30% of the resources it collects."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Yuanying stage ancestors in the audience were stunned.

Thirty percent of resources...

This is an absolutely unimaginable expense for the sect and the family, and they also need to offer magic weapons and elixirs to the fourth-level cultivation country to seek protection. However, if they provide resources to Hengyue Sect, how will the sect develop in the future?

Seeing this group of cultivators sweating profusely and hesitating, Lin Che lost his patience. If they were in the land of the ancient gods, these guys would probably have been killed long ago.

"Since fellow Taoists don't want to, then the only remaining sect in Zhao State is the Hengyue Sect."

He said this not to discuss with the others, but to warn them. After all, the world of cultivation has always respected strength. Anyone who dares to disobey will have their sect destroyed in a moment.

Just like the Hengyue Sect in the original novel, without the help of the ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage, the final outcome was that the monkeys scatter when the tree falls.

At this moment, Teng Huayuan, the ancestor of the Teng family, immediately turned his eyes and quickly stood up, bowing to Lin Che and saying, "Senior, please calm down."

Teng Huayuan's gaze lingered on the other cultivators again, and he said indifferently, "I think you fellow Daoists should reconsider. This 30% of resources won't destroy our family or our sect. Furthermore, Senior Lin Che is a powerful cultivator at the Infant Transformation Stage. He only needs to stay here for a hundred years, and our Zhao Kingdom will be promoted to a fifth-level cultivation nation."

"If our Zhao Kingdom can be promoted to a fifth-level cultivation nation, the cultivation resources will surely see a qualitative leap. By then, what we give out will naturally benefit the major sects. Why should we worry about the lack of cultivation resources for our disciples in the Zhao Kingdom?"

After hearing Teng Huayuan's words, all the cultivators in the field fell into deep thought. Even Lin Che couldn't help but look towards Teng Huayuan's position.

Although Teng Huayuan is cruel and ruthless, this guy knows the situation well and takes the overall situation into consideration, so he knows what is important and what is not.

Teng Huayuan turned around again and bowed respectfully to Lin Che. "Senior Lin Che, my Teng family is the number one cultivation family in Zhao State, possessing countless resources. I am willing to donate 50% of these resources to the Hengyue Sect."

"Hahaha, Patriarch Teng really knows how to handle things." Lin Che nodded and smiled faintly, "Since that's the case, I will grant you an opportunity. If you can break through to the late Nascent Soul stage in the future, I will personally guide you to the Spiritual Transformation stage."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the Yuanying ancestors of all the sects turned pale, and they even regretted not expressing their loyalty directly. Now, all the opportunities fell on Tenghua Yuanyinggou.

Teng Huayuan was so excited that he knelt on the ground, clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Senior Lin Che. My Teng family will live up to our mission and be loyal to you forever!"
