Chapter 1143: 1143

One particular spatial ring was filled with yuan spirit stones . Yuan spirit stones were the greatest currency in this world as they only ever increased in value .

That was why Guo Zhengyang had always done his best to get more yuan spirit stones, even if it was just one or two .

When Meng Qi had done her soulsearch on him, she found that he had a strange addiction . Each day, he would lie on top of his pile of yuan spirit stones and sleep . That was the only way he could feel at rest .

Looking at the five hundred million yuan spirit stones inside, Long Chen’s admiration for the Xuan Master maxed out .

When it came to strategy, who could compare to the Xuan Master?

He had raised a pig for three hundred years, and this pig had even drawn over more pigs from the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect .

Three hundred years ago, the Xuan Master had seen through the character of the miserly Guo Zhengyang . At that time, he had sown this seed . Now it had borne fruit .

The amount of wealth Guo Zhengyang had embezzled from the Xuantian Dao Sect was just one-tenth of his total wealth . The remaining ninety percent was what Guo Zhengyang had spent three hundred years making . The return on the Xuan Master’s investment was huge .

The Xuan Master had subtly hinted that the yuan spirit stones would all go to Long Chen, while the rest of the resources would be sent up to the Xuantian Dao Sect . Because it was Long Chen who personally took them, the Dao Sect wouldn’t be affected by much karma . After all, they didn’t directly give it to Long Chen . The Xuan Master’s intention had been very clear . He had basically been telling Long Chen to be ‘greedy’ and just not report the yuan spirit stones .

The yuan spirit stones took up almost half the total wealth Guo Zhengyang had had . Over ninety percent of these precious yuan spirit stones were the result of his relations.h.i.+p with the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect .

The more Long Chen thought about it, the more he felt that the Xuan Master’s plot had gone on absolutely beautifully . To use his enemy’s money to fatten his own pocket, his plot had practically reached a pinnacle .

“What should we do with these people?” Meng Qi looked oddly at the people they had captured .

“Release them . Even though they’re spies with the intent to bring down the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Xuan Master is a grand and magnanimous man . He doesn’t wish to kill people . After all, the Xuantian Dao Sect has such a friendly relations.h.i.+p with the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect . Let them go so that the entire Central Plains can see what it means to be generous and forgiving,” said Long Chen sanctimoniously .

Guo Zhengyang, Guo Xu, the n.o.ble families, and any people holding any post in the city were kicked out .

The ordinary people who were kicked out thanked Long Chen over and over again . They were finally free .

But as for Guo Zhengyang, when he woke up, he let out a hysterical wail and demanded Long Chen return his wealth . Long Chen directly slapped him unconscious and had those people drag him away .

In less than four hours, Xuantian City had changed masters . Now, Long Chen was the new city lord .

“City lord, do you need to be served at night?” teased Tang Wan-er suddenly .

“Don’t mess around . Long Chen, what should we do? Gao Xianyang and the others charged their way into the storehouse and took the only functioning flying boat to go hunting,” said Meng Qi .

“Aren’t there supposed to be five flying boats? Only one can fly?” asked Long Chen .

“It was Guo Zhengyang . He was so stingy that he didn’t even maintain the flying boats . The four flying boats have lost too much spirituality and cannot fly,” said Meng Qi .

“There’s Guo Ran . Have him repair them . ” Long Chen was confident in his skills . “Also, tell everyone not to be in a rush to go hunting . Right now, the city is ours . Although the city is already on the verge of collapsing, we’ll still need to defend it in the end . Have Su Mo, Mu Qingxuan, Hua s.h.i.+yu, and w.a.n.g Zhen go hunting in the surrounding regions . When the flying boats are fixed, we can go hunting in the sea then . ”

“What about the Dragonblood Legion?”

“Have everyone go into seclusion and refine yuan spirit stones . They should do their best to increase their cultivation bases . I’m going to check out the city’s defenses . ”

Long Chen and Guo Ran flew out of the city and went to see the city’s defenses that bordered the sea .

Crack . When Long Chen landed on the high city walls, a ma.s.s of rocks shattered .

“That Guo Zhengyang really was stingy . In order to save spirit stones, he didn’t even activate the protective formation . After several centuries, everything’s corroded and is as weak as tofu . ” Guo Ran picked up a rock and crushed it with his hand . He shook his head .
