“Is this all the wealth of your Blood Goose Continent?” Inside Blood Goose Continent’s Hall, Yang Kai sat at the head of the table while Yue He stood behind him.
At this moment, he was holding a Space Ring in his hand as he stared speechlessly at Yun Xinghua.
This fellow had left his name on the Loyalty List, so no matter what his character was, he was already considered a member of the Void Land. Blood Goose Continent was located in the Startled Goose Territory, and this was the Startled Goose Pavilion’s territory. Even if Yang Kai wanted to take over Blood Goose Continent as a whole and let it become a vessal Sect of the Void Land, he was powerless to do so.
Thinking about it, if someone dared to act like this in the Void Territory, he would definitely not agree.
If he really did that, Startled Goose Pavilion would definitely be put in a difficult position.
As such, even though Yang Kai was reluctant to part with this place, he could only give up on Blood Red Continent. However, he could choose not to take this Spirit Province, but he had to take the people with him.
From Yun Xinghua, more than twenty Open Heaven Stage cultivators and the many elite disciples of Blood Goose Continent all had to migrate to the Star City of the Void Territory. From now on, they would have to rely and manage the Star City for the Void Land.
With a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage master and several Third Order managing the Star City, it should be manageable.
Before leaving, Blood Goose Continent's assets would naturally be taken away.
Yang Kai had thought that Blood Goose Continent might be very poor, otherwise Gu Zhixin wouldn’t have set his sights on his own disciple to snatch the two Fourth Grade resources from Guo Miao.
However, he never expected that a third class force could be so poor!
In Blood Goose Continent's treasury, there were less than a hundred thousand Open Heaven Pills, and all the other cultivation resources added together were probably only worth two or three hundred thousand Open Heaven Pills.
In other words, the entire Blood Red Continent’s treasury only had four hundred thousand!
For someone like Yang Kai who could easily take out millions, these things were simply unbearable to look at.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he couldn’t blame Blood Goose Continent for being too poor. It was because he had made a fortune in the Great Ruins Boundary that he had so much wealth. In these 3000 Worlds, ordinary third class forces really weren’t too rich, after all, their disciples needed all kinds of resources to cultivate.
Take Blood Goose Continent for example. Below Yun Xinghua, there were twenty or thirty Open Heaven Stage masters who held positions as Elders, deacons, and Hall Masters of Blood Goose Continent. These people were required payment every month, from a few hundred to a few thousand. A month’s expenses required several tens of thousands of Open Heaven Pills, and this was not even counting the disciples below Open Heaven Stage.
Blood Goose Continent was like this, while the other third class forces were similar.
Back then, in order to express their apology, Great Moon Province had only given Yang Kai 100,000 Open Heaven Pills. This was already a huge loss, there were very few people like Yang Kai who had accumulated hundreds of millions of Open Heaven Pills.
Yun Xinghua replied in a panic, “Reporting to Sir, this subordinate had previously gone into seclusion to break through and consumed a large amount of resources. This… this…” He thought that Yang Kai was not satisfied, so as he spoke, he shot glances towards the other Open Heaven Stage masters, seemingly asking them to gather some resources to appease Yang Kai’s anger.
Although many Open Heaven Stage masters were reluctant to part with it, none of them dared to disobey, all of them taking action.
“Let it be,” Yang Kai waved his hand and tossed his Space Ring to Yun Xinghua.
Yun Xinghua asked in confusion, “Sir?”
Yang Kai picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea before slowly saying, “This is something from your Blood Goose Continent. Keep it safe, this King won’t go so far as to take your little things.”
Yun Xinghua blushed with shame and said, “Sir is noble and righteous, this subordinate is ashamed.”
Yang Kai said seriously, “Now this King has a heavy task for you!”
Yun Xinghua quickly said, “Please explain, Sir!”
“Take your Universe Chart!” Yang Kai stretched out his hand.
Yun Xinghua quickly took out his Universe Chart and handed it over to Yang Kai, who took it and poured his strength into it. A moment later, he tossed it back to him and said, “I’ve marked out the location of the Void Land. Choose a thousand people from Blood Goose Continent and go to the Void Land to find a person named Lu Xue. Tell her I told you to go there.”
Yun Xinghua replied respectfully, “Yes!”
Pausing for a moment, he probed, “Sir, what should this subordinate do after seeing Lu Xue?”
Yang Kai glanced at him and said, “Go help this King manage the Star City of the Void Territory!”
Shuā shuā shuā…
The more than twenty Open Heaven Stage cultivators below all turned to look.
Yun Xinghua was also stunned for a moment as he stared at Yang Kai, “Sir wants me to manage a Star City?”
He couldn’t believe his ears.
To any force that could control Star City, the existence of Star City could be said to be one of the biggest sources of income for this force. By extracting taxes and collecting rents from Star City, one could obtain large amounts of Open Heaven Pills without even taking any risks.
Startled Goose Territory also had a Star City but that was managed by Startled Goose Pavilion, so Blood Goose Continent couldn’t interfere.
The existence of Star City was of utmost importance to any force, and only those who were most loyal to the Sect would be able to oversee it, ensuring the longevity of a force.
But now, Yang Kai had actually asked him to lead the people of Blood Goose Continent to manage the Void Territory's Star City!
“What? Are you unwilling?” Yang Kai’s face sank.
Yun Xinghua quickly replied, “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. Under Sir’s orders, even if it’s a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, this subordinate won’t even frown. It’s just that the existence of a Star City… is a matter of great importance, this subordinate is afraid to disappoint Sir.”
His heart was filled with suspicion. Could it be that Yang Kai was trying to set up some kind of trap for him? But that shouldn't be the case. Right now, His life is in Yang Kai’s hands, so if Yang Kai really wanted to kill him, there was no need to use such a method.
Yang Kai’s face sank as he said, “My Void Land has just been established, so there aren’t enough Open Heaven Stage cultivators and manpower. If it weren’t for that, do you think you would have been able to manage the Star City?”
Although these words were not polite at all, in Yun Xinghua’s ears, they sounded like heavenly music.
So that’s how it was! It was because they didn’t have enough manpower.
In his heart, he was overjoyed, but on the surface, he maintained a calm expression, “In that case, this subordinate understands. Rest assured, Sir, this subordinate will definitely take care of the Star City in an orderly manner and will not disappoint Sir.”
He was quite shrewd and didn’t show any emotion on his face, but the other Low Rank Open Heaven cultivators didn’t have this kind of cultivation. Many of them revealed looks of surprise and excitement.
Originally, they had thought that since Blood Goose Continent had been breached and even the Chief of the Blood Goose Continent had to act respectfully in front of the other party, their days would definitely be difficult. Many people were already considering whether they should find an opportunity to escape. After all, they were all Open Heaven Stage cultivators, so if they were to join any force, there would definitely be people willing to accept them. Even if they were to become lone wolves, it would be better than doing things according to the will of others.
Who knew they would have the opportunity to manage a Star City!
This was a blessing in disguise! Although there were all kinds of people in the Star City, the Star City was the place where transactions occurred most frequently, and each transaction meant a large number of Open Heaven Pills.
Even among the forces that had the qualifications to control a Star City, the candidate to manage the Star City would have to undergo strict assessments and undergo many hidden struggles before they could be determined.
But now, this opportunity that countless people were fighting over was right in front of them.
Sure enough, after surviving a great disaster, there would always be good fortune in the future. One moment they were worried about their lives being in danger, the next moment they were struck by this great happiness. Everyone seemed to see a large number of Open Heaven Pills pouring into their pockets, how could they not be excited?
Yun Xinghua also smiled bitterly. If he had known that he was going to help Yang Kai manage the Star City, how could he have resisted? He had already closed the Great Array and welcomed him inside.
Yang Kai looked at him meaningfully, “Do your best. As long as you can show this King your sincerity, your future cultivation will not be so difficult. In the future, raising your grade will not be difficult.”
Yun Xinghua quickly replied, “Many thanks for Sir’s trust, this subordinate will not disappoint.”
“Take this jade slip. When you arrive in the Void Land and see Lu Xue, give this jade slip to her and she will arrange it.”
“Yes!”
“I’ll give you five days to settle everything in Blood Goose Continent. You can decide who you want to bring with you, and you can decide what to do with the rest. I only want a thousand people to enter the Star City!”
As he spoke, Yang Kai stood up, “This King has other important matters to attend to. When this King returns to the Void Land next time, I hope to see your results!”
Yun Xinghua bowed and said, “Please wait and see, Sir!”
Many Open Heaven Stage masters also called out in unison, “Farewell, Sir!”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Yang Kai led Yue He into the Lotus Fall, which quickly transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky.
After the stream of light disappeared from sight, Yun Xinghua let out a sigh of relief. This time, it was really a blessing in disguise! After pondering for a moment, he turned around and issued a series of orders, the entire Blood Goose Continent immediately started to work.
There weren’t many disciples in the Blood Goose Continent, but there were still quite a few of them. There were about six or seven thousand of them, Yang Kai only needed one thousand, the remaining several thousands cannot be taken away. Moreover, they were going to reside in a Star City, so in other words, Blood Goose Continent would probably not be able to return in the future.
He naturally wanted to take away a thousand people with the best aptitude, and the rest could only be left behind to find their own way out. Perhaps they would join other third class forces or even Startled Goose Pavilion, or perhaps they would be homeless, but Blood Goose Continent would definitely be swallowed up by Startled Goose Pavilion.
At the same time, inside the Lotus Fall.
Yang Kai looked at the father and daughter pair in front of him and smiled, “I must congratulate Commander Guo and his daughter on their reunion.”
Guo Ziyan said, “It’s all thanks to Sir’s blessing. If it weren’t for Sir’s timely assistance, I’m afraid our souls would have already fly away.”
Guo Miao also said, “Many thanks for Sir's life-saving grace.”
Yang Kai raised his hand and said, “Your father is a member of my Void Land, so you are also a disciple of my Void Land. When a disciple is in trouble, I naturally won’t sit back and watch.” Turning his head to look at Guo Ziyan, he continued, “This King said before that within the limits of Guo Miao’s ability, I will provide her with the best cultivation resources, but what grade can your Dao Seal withstand?”
Guo Miao’s expression became gloomy, “Disciple feels that Fourth Grade shouldn’t be a problem, Fifth Grade should be somewhat difficult, but now…”
Guo Ziyan’s expression also became gloomy as he thought about how his daughter’s future had been ruined by Gu Zhixin and couldn’t help feeling distressed.
