Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 139 The Water Flows Naturally, the Heavenly Demon Appears

Taking advantage of the opportunity of confiscating property and exterminating the clan, Ji Wuye embezzled a considerable amount of property to compensate for the losses suffered by Nightfall. Yang Che turned a blind eye to this. The small amount of property that Ji Wuye took was not actually that much compared to the assets owned by the Four Seas Merchant Guild, the last trump card of Emerald Tiger.

The largest sum of money has already fallen into Yang Che's hands; as for the rest, they are no longer important.

The final result was a happy one for everyone, except for Ji Wuye, who was not entirely satisfied, and Fei Cuihu, the person involved, who had reservations.

King An of Han obtained countless treasures and precious stones and jade artifacts, greatly enriching his private treasury. He also greatly increased the population and land that the Korean government could control by taking the confiscated land deeds.

As for Yang Che, he received a large amount of money and provisions, and this was only a portion of what was publicly known.

To reward Yang Che for thwarting the Jade Tiger's conspiracy, King Han An generously bestowed upon Yang Che the most luxurious of Jade Tiger's many properties: the Jade Manor.

It's important to know that Emerald Villa is not just a villa, but encompasses a range of mountains and plains stretching for more than ten miles. Near Xinzheng, such a massive villa is quite expensive.

However, Yang Che couldn't worry about the newly acquired manor for the time being. He was busy with things in Xinzheng and had to return to Nanyang immediately, where there were still many things to attend to.

The matter in Nanyang is of utmost urgency.

After returning to Nanyang, with more abundant funds and supplies, Yang Che began to conscript laborers on a larger scale, and large-scale water conservancy construction began simultaneously in more than a dozen counties throughout Nanyang.

These water conservancy projects didn't need Yang Che's planning at all. Many years ago, the Zheng family had already planned water conservancy projects for Nanyang. It's just that over the years, no one was willing to spend such a huge amount of money to do this.

Now that South Korea's richest man, Jade Tiger, has generously donated, there is naturally no problem.

With ample financial and logistical support, the entire Nanyang area has been transformed into a massive construction site.

There were no slackers or cheaters, because when building water conservancy projects, people not only had enough to eat, but they were also working for themselves and to save themselves.

Of course, there are bad people among a large population, but when most people are good, bad people can only hide their ulterior motives and pretend to be good. Under the influence of the environment, they eventually become good people as well.

While construction sites in Nanyang were bustling with activity, Zilanxuan in Xinzheng also reopened.

Although the competition from Huanhualou had significantly reduced its business, Zilanxuan still had a solid foundation. The long period of closure had, to some extent, aroused people's curiosity, wondering what kind of prosperity Zilanxuan was brewing during this time.

Therefore, when Zilan Pavilion reopened, many guests came that evening. When the giant celestial palace map descended vertically from above Zilan Pavilion and appeared in the guests' field of vision, the imagination and magnificence that transcended time and space instantly amazed everyone's eyes.

On the first night, Zilan Pavilion operated normally. The trained singers and dancers were even more captivating than before. With the support of the Heavenly Demon Sound and Heavenly Demon Dance, although they were not as artistically accomplished as the top dancers invited from Zhao State by Huanhua Pavilion, the Heavenly Demon Sound and Heavenly Demon Dance were superior in terms of direct visual and auditory impact.

In particular, the giant celestial palace painting became known to more and more people through word of mouth, and Zilanxuan had even more customers on the second day of its opening.

This continued for four consecutive days, and the number of guests at Zilan Pavilion had recovered to the level it had never experienced before when it was not being competed with Huanhua Tower. On the fifth day, the number of guests at Zilan Pavilion reached its peak.

On this very night, the纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy and powerful families) and the powerful and wealthy merchants of Xinzheng gathered at Zilanxuan. After today's preparations, the whole of Xinzheng knew that a miracle would happen at Zilanxuan, and they would witness the birth of that miracle.

The Purple Orchid Pavilion was destined to be anything but peaceful that night. The corridors on every floor were packed with guests, and even the lobby on the first floor was filled with them, including some important officials of the court.

Yang Che's capture of the Jade Tiger was a loss that Ji Wuye had to swallow in silence. This was no secret to those who were well-informed. In present-day Xinzheng, and even throughout the entire state of Han, who did not know the power and prestige of the Grand Minister of Works?

The Grand Minister personally painted a celestial palace picture for Zilan Pavilion, which is extremely rare in the world, showing how close the relationship between the Grand Minister and Zilan Pavilion was.

At this time, the Grand Minister of Works was in Nanyang fighting drought and providing disaster relief. Even if these people wanted to curry favor, they didn't know where to start. However, they could still show their support by visiting Zilan Pavilion. Everyone knew that the female owner of Zilan Pavilion was the Grand Minister of Works' confidante. It was too easy for them to show their favor to the Grand Minister of Works by visiting Zilan Pavilion.

As night fell, the Purple Orchid Pavilion was brightly lit and bustling with people. Everyone was amazed as they looked at the huge celestial palace painting. Just this painting alone made the trip worthwhile.

As the music drifted from behind the curtain, the guests in Zilan Pavilion all perked up, knowing that the highlight of the evening was about to begin.

But what kind of drama will it be?

What kind of song could possibly warrant Zilan Pavilion closing its doors for so long? And what kind of song and dance would require a celestial palace painting worth a fortune to accompany it?

Amidst everyone's curiosity, suddenly beams of light refracted through the bronze mirror, illuminating the location of the celestial map. In the sudden intensification of the light, everyone instinctively closed their eyes, but when they opened them again, they were all astonished.

What did they see?

Four figures flew down from the heavenly palace, dancing gracefully in the air, colorful ribbons fluttering, their figures swaying. They saw the celestial maiden come from mythology, and witnessed the arrival of a divine miracle.

For a moment, everyone forgot to even gasp in amazement; their entire being was captivated by the dreamlike and breathtaking scene before them.

As the celestial maidens danced, the entire Zilan Pavilion was drawn into a mythological world.

At this moment, the song is no longer a condescending examination of the dancer by the guests, but rather a mortal looking up at the blessings of mythology.

As the myth unfolded at Zilan Pavilion, hundreds of miles away in Nanyang, Yang Che was also creating his own energy.

Under the cover of night, torches lit up the plains, forming a long, endless dragon. After months of hard work, a canal connecting to the great river was dug. At this moment, countless people gathered on both sides of the canal. This canal, which would help them overcome natural disasters, was created by their own hands.

At the end of the ditch, surrounded by a crowd of people, Yang Che stepped forward and grasped the control gate's pivot. As Yang Che turned the pivot, the gate slowly rose, and water from the river poured in. Under the torchlight, a stream of water flowed slowly along the ditch, reflecting a red phosphorescent light—the red glow of life.

Immediately, cheers that could pierce the sky resounded across the construction site stretching for hundreds of miles. At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Strategy changed once again.

The fourth stage of the Huajian Sect's mission was completely completed, and the Tianyi Heart Method appeared deep within Yang Che's consciousness. Meanwhile, the second stage of the Yin Gui Sect's mission was also completed, with the seventh level and the second level's Hard and Soft Chapters and Illusion and Reality Chapters being fully presented.

At this point, Yang Che had collected the "Form Chapter" and "Hard and Soft Chapter" of the Heavenly One Heart Method, the Undying Seal Method, and the Heavenly Demon Great Method.

The Illusion and Reality Chapter, The Way of Mending Heaven, Wandering Among Flowers, The Classic of the Plain Girl, One Hundred Styles of Folding Flowers, and the Illusion Sword Technique.

The monstrous power of the Heavenly Demon has already begun to emerge.
