207: Chapter 207 Preparing to extort the Heavenly Treasure!

"You only have half a year. If you cannot accomplish what I require within half a year, then don't blame me for being discourteous."

"Of course, you could invite other Sects to start a war here, but after a great war, whether you win or lose, your entire Sect will cease to exist. I can guarantee this. You are well aware of my Divine Abilities, strength, methods, and treasures; otherwise, you wouldn't fear me to such an extent. Actually, I understand your thoughts. But I hope you can understand: don't come to provoke me."

"If you just let it go, I might spare you, but obviously, that is impossible. Even if I were willing, I'm afraid you wouldn't be. Alright, enough said. Right or wrong, and whether you listen or not, that is up to you. I will be taking my leave now. Farewell!"

After saying this, Zhao Changsheng left directly with his immortal extermination pearl, without the slightest hint of lingering attachment. The words he left behind made the Grand Elder present look as gloomy as ink.

"Damn it, this is too bullying! Truly too bullying."

But no matter how furious he was at this moment, the immediate task was to help Zhao Changsheng complete the mission he had assigned—which was to find all the Materials on the list. If they couldn't find them, their entire School would be finished.

Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to go to other Schools and ask them to help gather the items.

Because relying on the power of their one School alone to accomplish this was pure wishful thinking; it was completely impossible, not even the slightest possibility. Under these circumstances, if they wanted to avoid the Sect being destroyed, this was the only way. As for starting a war within their Sect, just as Zhao Changsheng said, once a war broke out, regardless of victory or defeat, their entire School would definitely cease to exist—no less severe than the battle at Demon Fall Valley in the Ancient Era of the Tiannan Cultivation World.

It would definitely shatter the Spiritual Veins where their entire School was located, beating the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into such chaos that trying to find such a good place again would be a complete joke, and their School would decline from then on.

This price was one their School could not afford; one could even say no School could afford it. For example, if they chose to start a war elsewhere, the best place would be Kunwu Mountain.

There was no place more suitable than this; there was no place more suitable.

Although this place was once the number one Holy Land of the Mortal Realm and the number one Cultivation Holy Land of the Mortal Realm, there were also many Restrictions inside. If all parties joined forces, there would be a great hope of killing Zhao Changsheng.

This was why, no matter what great price they had to pay, and no matter what kind of humiliation from Zhao Changsheng they had to endure, they had to endure it. If they didn't endure it, there would only be a dead end. Therefore, they had to endure it, and only by enduring it would they have even a sliver of a chance to live. If they didn't endure it, they wouldn't even have that sliver of a chance. This price was too high; they couldn't afford it, so they had to find a place to bear it.

Or share it together. As for how much certainty they had, that was unknown, but besides this, there was no other choice because they had already gone down this path to the dark. If they didn't act now, then even if they wanted to surrender later, there would be no opportunity.

What kind of things would happen later? It was simply unimaginable. The future was completely unpredictable.

In short, they had no other choice now but to walk this path to the end. They were all grasshoppers on the same rope; they could only help each other.

"Kid, you are really ruthless. You have fleeced them quite hard this time, and I am afraid they hate you even more now."

Divine Lord Dayan's words made Zhao Changsheng laugh uncontrollably.

"They want to take my life, so asking for a little emotional damage compensation isn't too much, right? Besides, does it matter whether they hate me or not? Is there any point? Would I care about such things? I wouldn't care at all, would I? No matter how much they hate me or resent me, what can they do to me? Don't you understand this, Senior? Even if they want to cut me into a thousand pieces, smash my corpse into ten thousand fragments, burn me together with them, or grind my bones into dust, they need to have the strength for it, and they need to wait for the right moment. The moment is when Kunwu Mountain opens. There isn't much time left until Kunwu Mountain opens, so the more it is this time, the more they must endure. They will think I am doing this on purpose, that I am deliberately provoking them, just to avoid them teaming up to deal with me when Kunwu Mountain opens."

"They want to break me one by one, and I am just waiting for them to think that way. If I don't take this opportunity to extort them heavily, wouldn't I have come here for nothing? Moreover, I feel this is just an appetizer; there will be more exciting grand plays later. It depends on their luck. If their luck is good, then perhaps there is a one in a billion chance that they could destroy me. Unfortunately, how could I give them such an opportunity? They are completely indulging in wishful thinking. Unless my brain was squeezed by a door, how could I leave such an opportunity for them? My brain wasn't squeezed by a door; how could I allow such a thing to happen? It is completely impossible. If they want my life, they must have enough strength to take it. If they don't have the strength to take it, then it is entirely up to Heaven's will. Unfortunately, that thing called Heaven's will is not on their side; it is on mine."

"With their amateur skills, along with their schemes and calculations, how could I not know? I know it all, but so what? I am waiting for them to make a move, so that I can solve it once and for all, wipe them all out, or perhaps subdue them all. This is my idea. As for whether I can do it, you don't need to worry, Senior. Since I have planned it this way, I can definitely do it. After all, when have I ever made a mistake in doing things? There will definitely not be any mistakes. As for how they think, that is their business. Anyway, everything that follows must be centered around me; everything must proceed according to my plan. The first step of the Cultivation Empire I want to build is to wipe out these malignant tumors one by one, family by family. If I don't wipe them all out, you should know how serious the consequences will be; then my Cultivation Empire will gradually become a part controlled by them. The only way, the only method, is to start a massacre and wash the entire Cultivation World in blood. Although this will greatly reduce the strength of the entire Cultivation World, in some respects, this is the only way, and the only method that can be used. There is no method more suitable than this. As for peace talks, that is even more impossible. I cannot do that kind of thing, and I cannot bring myself to do it. It is simply impossible for them to want peace talks."

"They really think I'm a fool. If I were really a fool, how could I have lived until now? Since they think I want to destroy them, then I will destroy them. Anyway, that is indeed what I think. My current idea is to go knocking on their doors one by one, family by family, and extort as much as I can. If they give it, that is best. If they don't give it, then I will destroy them. Anyway, it is them who failed to complete my request, so it is quite normal for me to destroy them all in a fit of rage."

"Actually, they should be glad that I am a good person. If I weren't a good person, how could I find a reason to destroy them? I definitely wouldn't find a reason to destroy them; I would just destroy them on the spot. So, because I am a good person, I must accomplish one thing: I must have a just cause. If it weren't like this, problems would easily arise. You should understand this point, so don't ask me here. And I am actually doing good deeds now; if I don't do good deeds, it won't work at all. After all, I must eliminate the Evil Qi on my body. If I don't resolve the Evil Qi on my body, the consequences will be very serious."

"But will this method really eliminate the Evil Qi on your body? How does this old man feel it is so mysterious?"

"I also feel it is mysterious, but I think it should be useful, at least it should have some effect, not the kind that has absolutely no effect. It must have an effect, so don't worry, Senior. You don't need to worry, just do your best."

"It is not that this old man is worried, but such things are truly too strange. Even this old man had never heard of it before, right? You say, am I right?"

"Regardless of whether it is right or not, the current situation is just like this. Whatever happens, happens. Anyway, I have to do good deeds, right? Right now, you tell me, who should we go extort? Let us think about it, who must we extort? It won't work if we don't extort them. It is absolutely impossible not to extort others. They want my life, what can I do? You ask me, who should I ask?"

"If I don't let them bleed heavily this time, wouldn't I have come here for nothing? This time, no matter what, I must extort them properly. It is absolutely impossible not to make them pay a bloody price."

"Even a rabbit will bite when pushed into a corner. Be careful. If they really turn against you, it will be an impossible task to resolve it then. You should know this point."

"In case you really push them too far, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although you have countless Divine Abilities and methods now, a fierce tiger still cannot withstand a pack of wolves, right? Wasn't that Soul Transformation Cultivator of the Tiannan Cultivation World in the past who fell like that? You had better be careful now; don't go too far. If you go too far, it is very likely that you will die an untimely death. This is not a joke, but telling you a fact."

"If you don't want to, I have no way."

Divine Lord Dayan's words made Zhao Changsheng laugh again, and then he continued.

"I know, I know. But which School should we go to this time? After all, we have already extorted Yueyang Palace. Which School should we extort next? How about we go extort their in-laws, the Demon Wood Palace? The relationship between this School and them is quite close. Since we have already extorted Yueyang Palace, if we don't extort their in-laws, we would really be sorry for the relationship between the two parties. It is really quite sorry for the relationship between them, don't you think? Is this the logic?"

"That is also true, what you said is quite right. Then how do you plan to extort them? Could it be that you are thinking of taking the list from just now and extorting another copy? This is not an easy task."

"Don't worry. I remember that there are three great divine woods in this School. Although there is no golden thunder bamboo, there are others, which is fine too. Don't you think that is the logic? Anyway, you know the current situation. I have to extort them heavily; I can't get past this obstacle in my heart. I can only look for trouble with them to get past this obstacle in my heart. And we are also doing good deeds, Senior. We are absolutely doing good deeds, without a single bit of falsehood, isn't that so? Is there any problem with what I said? What I said has no problems at all. We can also be considered as removing harm for the people. It would be a disservice to those Mortals harmed by them if we don't extort a large sum."

"Anyway, this School is not a good thing either; it is definitely not a good thing. Since that is the case, there is no need for us to be polite to them."

"You kid are really ruthless; you are not just generally ruthless, you are ruthless to the extreme."

"Senior, you are wrong there. I am also removing harm for the people. There is absolutely no falsehood in this. If there is even a bit of falsehood, may I be struck by five thunders and die a horrible death."

"Alright, stop playing word games with this old man here; it is of no use."

"You are right, you are right. But we still need to pay more attention to the current situation, lest they really jump over the wall like a dog. So, this time, the extortion will be slightly smaller; it cannot be too ruthless. Let's just extort a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure from them."

Zhao Changsheng's words scared Divine Lord Dayan immediately.

"Extort their heaven-reaching spiritual treasure? Are you not joking? You are completely courting death! Who would hand over a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure to you?"

"Whether they will or not, I don't know. Anyway, they definitely won't dare not to give it. I am confident in this point. If they don't give it, I will destroy their entire School. This is not a difficult task for me; on the contrary, it is a quite easy task. There is absolutely no problem with this. And I can also be considered to have a just cause; they cannot refuse. As for what opinions other Schools have, I can treat the words of these Schools as farts. This is not a difficult task for me, as long as they cannot beat me, that is fine. If they could beat me, I would not have tolerated it until now. Senior, don't you think so? Is this the logic?"

"If they could really beat you, they would have already destroyed you."
