Chapter 565: Grief and Happiness Not Together
Chapter 561: Grief and Happiness Are Not The Same
He Zhenghao’s worries naturally disappeared after the price of the hoarded supplies doubled.
“One hundred million contribution degrees, that’s one hundred million contribution degrees!” He Zhenghao’s eyes were crimson, and his body trembled slightly in an uncontrollable manner.
The psychological stimulation brought about by the price that was still rising at all times caused him to drift away, as if he were in the heavenly realm.
He Zheng Hao swore that he had never been so happy in his life.
“When Lord Secret Envoy gave me the list of supplies before, he casually mentioned that since I manipulated the fundraising this time, the profit share given to me has also risen from one percent in the previous three times to ten percent ……”
“In just one day, I’ve earned a contribution that I wouldn’t have been able to earn in my original lifetime.”
Hot blood rushed straight to his brain, and He Zhenghao felt as if his body was boiling.
Infinite courage surged in his heart, and it was as if the Immortal Alliance’s iron laws, which were usually very revered, had become no longer frightening.
“Give me a rise! With the price going up so fast, I’m sure I’m not the only one doing this. The law is not responsible for the masses!”
“Besides, if the sky collapses, there’s still Lord Secret Envoy to hold it up. I’m just following orders!”
“Surely it won’t be blamed on me!”
He Zhenghao muttered, quickly convincing himself that there was no more fear in his heart.
There was only the ecstasy of a huge profit coming in.
Throughout the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, there were really quite a few other cultivators like He Zhenghao, who were rejoicing.
Somewhere in an unknown space.
“Great harvest, great harvest. This time, the profit has directly made up for the previous losses. There’s still excess!”
“How about that! I was right, wasn’t I? I knew that guy Li Fan had two tricks up his sleeve, this time we bet right! Follow him and eat meat!”
“Hehe, fellow Daoist Lu, how do I remember, you were flagrantly against it last time?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! You must have misremembered!”
……
Zhou Ke Bao looked at the ecstatic expressions of his companions around him and was a bit excited himself.
As of now, he had already made a profit of nearly two million contribution points.
And although he didn’t know the exact profit of the others, judging from their performance, it was definitely less as well.
“Li Fan’s ability to deduce is truly as terrifying as it is. Surprisingly, he was able to predict in advance, this war that erupted without any warning.”
As for the reason why the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had suddenly declared war, Zhou Ke Bao and the others were also still inquiring.
It was just that there wasn’t a definite result yet.
“Ai, still too cautious. If only I could have invested more in the first place.”
Such a thought suddenly flashed through Zhou Ke Bao’s mind.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
“Hm? Why aren’t we seeing Fellow Daoist Long?”
The scene was suddenly quiet for a moment.
“Yeah, I remember that he was very decisive this time, spending at least five million contribution degrees to reserve supplies in advance. It should be a big profit!”
“It couldn’t be that he’s still in seclusion and isn’t aware that prices have gone crazy, right?”
“I’ll contact him right now and report the good news!”
To their great surprise, all the messages, all muddy cows into the sea, no reply.
The crowd could not help but look at each other.
Just when they were in disbelief, Long Yueyou’s figure appeared in the eyes of the crowd.
Lost in thought, his eyes were filled with blood and his face was pale.
The people present all had a hint of foreboding in their hearts.
In the end, it was Zhou Ke Bao who took the lead and asked, “Fellow Daoist Long, what exactly happened? How did you ……”
Long Yueyou seemed a bit soulful. Zhou Ke Bao shouted several times in a row before he came back to his senses.
Looking at the crowd around him, Long Yueyou’s lips trembled slightly, and it took all his strength before he finally said slowly, “My brother, unfortunately, has fallen!”
Boom!
The crowd only felt that their brains had been hammered hard, and they were instantly a little dizzy.
Long Jiufen, who had just achieved Harmonization Immortal Exaltation, had fallen?
In an instant, the field became deathly silent.
The bit of joy that had originally earned many contribution points was gone in an instant.
For them, the loss of a Harmonization cultivator was something that could not be compensated for no matter how many contribution degrees!
The shock was incomparable, and at the same time, a chill ran through their hearts.
The great battle had just begun, and already a Harmonious Dao cultivator had fallen.
The scale of this war was feared to be far beyond their imagination.
Just how many people would die?
For a moment, these profit-oriented cultivators couldn’t help but feel a slight chill.
In Cong Yun City’s Buzheng Hall, it was now a mess.
The Immortal Alliance had already issued a war preparation announcement, but they couldn’t contact Lord Secret Word Envoy no matter what.
Although as early as a month ago, Li Fan had already announced to the outside world that he was going into deep seclusion.
But after such a big thing happened, you left your stall and quit, dumping the difficult problem on us subordinates ……
Isn’t that a bit too much?
A crowd of cultivators were bellyaching.
“All of you!”
Gao Yuan looked at the crowd with different expressions and knocked on the table.
“Now that the lord is away, the time to test us has come.” He said solemnly.
“Although the current situation is unclear, there is no doubt that this war, will not end easily. We need to be mentally prepared.”
“Especially since our Cong Yunhai also borders the Five Elders Association, it’s even more important to always patrol and be on guard against opposing cultivators.”
Gao Yuan paused and looked at the faces of all the people with worry, so he also had to speak out to pacify them, “But everyone doesn’t need to be overly worried.”
“As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there is a taller person to hold it. Our Cong Yunhai hasn’t been able to regain its vitality up to now since the last time we were taken out by the Five Elders Association in a single pot.”
“There aren’t even many YuanYing cultivators. With this kind of battle power, it shouldn’t be enough for us to fight for our lives.”
When the crowd heard this, they also felt that there was so much truth in it, so their hearts were a little more at ease.
However, Gao Yuan had another sentence that he pressed in his heart and did not say.
If it really comes to the point where the remaining group of people in Cong Yunhai have to go to the battlefield, then the grueling extent of this war ……
Gao Yuan could not help but shiver.
—
While the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was in a mess because of this sudden war preparation announcement, Li Fan was very relaxed.
Drinking the cup of agar that was glistening with a glowing blue light, Li Fan gave a thumbs up and praised, “Good wine!”
“Such a good wine, and with Fellow Daoist Sima recounting all the exciting past events of a thousand years ago. Life is like this, what more could one ask for!”
Sima Changkong was also slightly intoxicated, “Even though I’ve only met you for the first time, I feel like we’ve met before. The word “fate” is truly wonderful!”
“Come, have another drink!”
Sikong Changkong also tilted his head back and poured the wine brew into his stomach.
“Which part of the Xuan Huang Realm’s past would you like to hear next, fellow Daoist?”
“The events of the Ancient Era cannot be examined, but I, Sima Changkong, still know a little bit about this period of history since the re-establishment of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”
He said with a reddened face and a proud tone.
“I’ve heard that about five hundred years ago, there was an incident where small worlds collectively united and counterattacked the Immortal Cultivation Realm.”
“I still ask you, Fellow Daoist, to speak for me!”
Li Fan said, half-drunk and half-awake.
