Chapter 153: People’s hearts are hidden! Temporary worker system! Attack the Holy Demon Island!
In addition to this incident, the jade slip also mentioned another thing, that Li Mufeng would develop his own power in the Chaos Star Sea and hoped to get the support of the Star Palace.
However, Li Mufeng had no intention of occupying the inner star sea. Instead, he rebuilt a city, Biling City, on an island called Biling Island in the outer star sea.
Even the Suanni Beast clan of the Chaos Star Sea King family has agreed to cooperate with Li Mufeng, so Biling Island and the surrounding waters will not be attacked by monsters.
Of course, human cultivators are definitely not allowed to hunt monsters in those places.
It will be a city built together by transformed monsters and human monks!
too crazy!
Even the knowledgeable Wen Qing and Ling Xiaofeng had to admit that Li Mufeng's series of actions were really crazy.
Ling Xiaofeng was very unhappy to see that Li Mufeng was actually cooperating with the monster.
"Humph! Daoist friend, you have such great abilities, yet you are willing to degenerate and cooperate with monsters?!"
"Don't you know that those who are not of my race must have different hearts?"
"Be careful or you'll be eaten by those transformed monsters until not even a bone is left!"
Hearing Ling Xiaofeng's somewhat resentful words, Li Mufeng asked back.
"Can people be trusted?"
"Fellow Daoist Ling, if you were trustworthy, you wouldn't have attacked me right away."
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. This is true, but Fellow Daoist Ling should have heard that people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs, right?"
"If people can be trusted, would your Xing Palace still be besieged by the combined forces of good and evil?"
"In these years, the number of cultivators who died in the hands of your Xing Palace in Chaos Star Sea is probably at least 80,000 if not 100,000."
"I wonder if Brother Ling ever thought about the fact that they were fellow human beings when he was trying to kill them?"
"Didn't you still kill me like a pig or a dog?"
Hearing such heart-piercing words, the facial features on Ling Xiaofeng's elegant face shifted, and his eyebrows raised and his eyes glared.
Can the two be confused?
Wen Qing saw Ling Xiaofeng about to lose his temper, so he pulled his clothes to calm him down.
They in Xinggong can only protect themselves now. They can't stop Li Mufeng from doing anything. There is no point in talking nonsense here.
In the world of cultivating immortals, everything is based on strength!
"Fellow Daoist, what do you want to do in the outer sea? We in the Star Palace have no right to interfere. But what do you mean by temporary worker?"
Compared to Ling Xiaofeng's anger about Li Mufeng's contact with the demon clan, Wen Qing was more concerned about what Li Mufeng meant by inviting them to become temporary workers?
"The meaning of temporary workers is very clear. With the current strength of our Casual Cultivators Union, we are unable to handle the affairs of various regions, so we need others to do it for us." Li Mufeng explained with a smile.
"The candidates for temporary workers can be the leaders of large sects or powerful independent cultivators!"
"It can be the Twin Saints of your Xing Palace, or the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Aunt Wan San. Anyone in the world of immortal cultivation can do it, as long as they are willing to work with enough strength."
"Why are you talking so nicely? Isn't it just a dirty job?" Ling Xiaofeng said coldly, "Besides, you are too arrogant. How do you think you can command so many great monks by yourself?"
"How delusional!"
After hearing Li Mufeng's explanation, Wen Qing pondered for a moment, and then looked at Li Mufeng with the same confusion.
"Fellow Daoist Li, let's not talk about others, let's just take us as an example. Daoists should know in their hearts what price they need to pay to drive two great cultivators like us, right?"
"To be honest, we just don't want to offend you right now. Otherwise, we wouldn't even bother with you as a so-called temporary worker. As the Twin Saints of the Star Palace, what can't we get if we want it?"
"I think the situation is similar for the great monks in other regions. I want to ask you, what kind of conditions can you offer?"
On this so-called temporary worker system, even the calm and rational Wen Qing agreed with Ling Xiaofeng's words. Li Mufeng was really wishful thinking.
In today's human world where many divine monks are dying out, the great monk is already the top existence.
What do you want but can't get?
Why should I listen to your command, Li Mufeng? Why should I help you do the dirty work?
"You two, your horizons are too narrow." Hearing Wen Qing's arrogant question, Li Mufeng shook his head, "Besides, since I dare to ask, I must have something to offer."
Li Mufeng then whispered a few words.
The expression on Ling Xiaofeng's face gradually changed from arrogance and disdain to complexity.
Wen Qing also lowered his head and began to think.
After a long while, both of them nodded and had to admit that if Li Mufeng could really do everything he said, almost all the high-level cultivators in the human world would voluntarily obey his orders.
But this is too difficult.
"Fellow Daoist, do you really think your plan is feasible? The difficulty involved is almost the same as ascending to heaven."
Wen Qing had to admit that Li Mufeng's vision and magnanimity far exceeded those of them and his wife. They were still fighting on their own small piece of land, while the other party had already entered the entire human world.
"If I was sure, why would I tell you about this?" Li Mufeng looked at Wen Qing speechlessly, "Do I really look like a boy who gives away money?"
"This kind of thing can only be accomplished by gathering all the cultivators in our human world! Only if all the transformed demon cultivators gather together can it be accomplished."
After hearing this, Wen Qing and Ling Xiaofeng nodded in agreement. This level of event was indeed not something that could be accomplished by just a few people or forces.
"This idea is too crazy!" Ling Xiaofeng has not yet recovered from Li Mufeng's crazy idea, and his face is full of disbelief.
"This matter is too far away, so let's not talk about it for now. Fellow Daoist asked us to help you build Biling City. We at Xinggong can do it, but since it is a cooperation, it must be a mutually beneficial thing. What can you do to help us, fellow Daoist?" Wen Qing couldn't help but look at Li Mufeng and asked.
"Don't you think that helping me build Biling City is helping you?" Li Mufeng said with a smile, "I believe you have seen the current situation in Chaos Star Sea clearly enough."
"You two are trapped in Tianxing City and cannot leave, but Liudao Jisheng and Wan Sangu are free to gather forces outside."
"If this continues, even those independent cultivators and neutral sects who are willing to get involved in the dispute will be forced to join the Anti-Star Alliance and turn their guns to attack Tianxing City, because they have no other choice."
"Now that the two Daoists are helping me build Biling Island, it will provide these Daoists with a place to avoid these disputes, so that they don't have to be forced to join the Anti-Star Alliance and fight against the Star Palace."
"Shameless!" Ling Xiaofeng's worldview was completely refreshed by Li Mufeng's explanation. The words sounded so nice, but in fact, wasn't he just trying to get something for nothing?
Wen Qing fell into deep thought. What Li Mufeng said was indeed shameless, but it did make sense.
If these monks are not given a place to go now, then joining the Anti-Star Alliance will be their only option.
After all, the sea area surrounded by the Inner Twelve Star Islands cannot accommodate all the cultivators in the entire Chaos Star Sea. And if Li Mufeng can really build a city as big as Tianxing City in the outer sea, it can be used as a temporary place for these cultivators.
Just as Li Mufeng said, they would not be forced by Liudao Jisheng and Wan Sangu to join the Anti-Star Alliance just because he and his wife were unable to show up.
But it was obviously impossible to agree to Li Mufeng so easily.
This guy just extorted 100 million spirit stones from their Xing Palace, and now he is helping him build his power for free. Does he really think that their Xing Palace is a soft persimmon?
"Fellow Daoist Li, the people of my Xinggong can agree to your proposal of cooperating in building Biling City, but we have a condition." Wen Qing thought for a while and then spoke.
"Tell me about it." Li Mufeng nodded. He also knew that the other party would not agree to him so easily.
"Fellow Daoist Li, if you want to build your Biling City, you need to absorb the independent cultivators and those neutral sects in Chaos Star Sea. But I think you are also very clear in your mind that these independent cultivators and neutral sects have been regarded as their possessions by the people of the Anti-Star Alliance. If you take action to snatch them now, do you think the Anti-Star Alliance will just watch you do it?"
Wen Qing said with a smile.
"So, what do you mean?"
"If you agree to join hands with my husband and I to kill Liu Dao and Wan Sangu, Xinggong is willing to help you build Biling City!"
Looking at Wen Qing's serious expression, Li Mufeng felt like he was looking at a fool.
"Friend Wen, you are really calculating. You just want me to do such a dangerous thing for you without any hesitation. Because you two practiced the Yuanci Divine Light recklessly, you are now trapped in Tianxing City. You can only have more than a month of freedom when the magnetic force of the Yuanci Divine Mountain disappears once every hundred years."
"Do you want me to wait a few years to join forces with you? If I had that much time, why would I want to cooperate with you?"
Wen Qing and Ling Xiaofeng looked at Li Mufeng in surprise. They didn't expect that he even knew about the disappearance of the magnetic force of Yuanci Mountain!
You have to know that this is top secret information. They didn't even tell Ling Yuling, and Liudao Jisheng and Wan Sangu had no idea about it. Only they two knew about it in the entire Chaos Star Sea, and a third one appeared today.
"Friend Li, you're not willing to wait for such a short time? You're too impatient." Ling Xiaofeng spoke in a tone as if he was teaching a younger generation a lesson.
"Do you think I'm as useless as you? My time is more valuable than yours!" Li Mufeng retorted bluntly.
"You!" Seeing Li Mufeng being so arrogant, Ling Xiaofeng really wanted to just flick his sleeves and leave!
Ling Xiaofeng had never suffered such humiliation in his life!
"Okay, you are hundreds of years old, why bother arguing with a junior here?" Wen Qing comforted.
"Fellow Daoist Li, what do you think?"
"I'm afraid you still have a long time before the magnetic force of Yuanci Mountain disappears again. Otherwise, you wouldn't have let Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu escape last time. I can buy you some time. During this time, I can make sure that the Anti-Star Alliance will not attack your Star Palace again!"
Li Mufeng thought for a while and said.
He is not a fool. Even though Wen Qing said nice things, such as helping him build Biling City, in fact Li Mufeng doesn't need them at all.
To be precise, Li Mufeng did not need Xinggong to do anything. He just wanted Xinggong to issue a statement and let those who did not want to participate in the war go to Biling Island.
What he needs to rely on is the industrial and information capabilities that Xinggong has built up in the Chaos Star Sea over the past tens of thousands of years.
Li Mufeng had already prepared everything else.
Even the most important start-up capital was taken from Xinggong.
"This..." After hearing Li Mufeng's condition, the two looked at each other.
Li Mufeng really touched the heart of this matter.
The last time the magnetic force of the Yuanci Divine Mountain disappeared was just before the Anti-Star Alliance started the uprising, which was about ten years ago.
In the end, Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing nodded and agreed to this condition.
After the terms were agreed upon, the three separated here.
They needed to go back and prepare the 100 million spirit stones, and Li Mufeng needed to go to the Holy Demon Island. As for the Wanfa Sect, he asked Old Suanni to go there.
Since he didn't want to dig out the top-grade spirit stone himself, he naturally had to ask the old Suanni to do the work.
Holy Demon Island.
At the end of the sky, there was a flash of red light, and then two beams of light appeared side by side and shot towards the island.
Just as they were about to approach the island, eight black demonic shields suddenly appeared in front of them, surrounding the entire Holy Demon Island.
On the land of the island, it seemed that some restriction had been triggered. In addition to the black gas constantly emerging from the soil, there were also corpses crawling out from the ground.
After a rough look, there are more than 200 of them, and their cultivation is all in the foundation-building stage.
As the base camp of the demon sect, the Holy Demon Island is naturally not a good place. There are already many restrictions before you even set foot there.
The moment the formation and restrictions were triggered, the people on the Holy Demon Island sensed it immediately.
In the center of Holy Demon Island, somewhere in an underground cave.
A man and a woman opened their eyes at the same time, and then they flew out in a flash.
Li Mufeng originally wanted to use his spatial ability to go in directly, but when he thought about the purpose of his visit here, he shook his head.
"Forget it, just show it to me. It will be easier to talk later."
He looked at Qing Wen who was wearing a Taoist robe and said, "I'll leave it to you."
"I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Qing Wen’s current cultivation level is at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
He is the only one among the Blood Spirit Guards whose cultivation level can catch up with Li Mufeng. However, his cultivation level is not acquired through his own practice. Instead, it is the result of his refinement after eating Savage Beard. He thus inherited the other party's cultivation level.
Although it has been refined for almost twenty years, it is not yet finished. It is estimated that it will take a long time to completely digest it.
Qing Wen nodded, took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and then some blood-colored scales appeared on his body, "Tian Tuo Mo Gong is worthy of being known as the best defensive technique in Chaos Star Sea!"
“This power is truly intoxicating!”
As soon as the words fell, there was a flash of blood, and a huge blood-red fist several dozen feet in size appeared behind Qing Wen.
"boom--"
"boom--"
Sounds like shattering came one after another, and five of the eight defensive shields outside the Holy Demon Island were directly shattered!
