710: All crows are black! We've caught a big one!
"You must pressure Su Lie to make him apologize and pay 1 extreme point of Mist Points to each victim!"
Kong Sanli, the Hall Master of the Trading Hall, spoke solemnly: "To think I defended him before; I didn't expect him to be such an ungrateful wolf! Since he doesn't want face, I won't give him any!"
"Exactly! Besides that, we also demand Su Lie relinquish the management rights of his noble territory and hand it over to us!"
Jin Yuanbao, the Hall Master of the Resource Hall, immediately followed up: "Su Lie must also sign a mist rule contract with us, to prevent the boy from going back on his word!"
"The killer must be executed! Make Su Lie hand over his Vassal!"
After the two Hall Masters finished speaking...
The Hall Masters of the other halls spoke up one after another.
Qing Feng laughed: "What ability do you think I have to pressure him? Should I ban him from entering the guild? Or should I use force to suppress him?"
"Su Lie is now a Child of the Rule, protected by the mist rule, and is a member of the mist rule's key cultivation list!"
"To me, it's understandable even if such a genius slaughtered every Survivor in every guild in the Silent Abyss!"
"After all, such a genius will become a Supreme Expert sooner or later!"
"Sooner or later, we will have to live by his whims!"
"It's not bad to adapt ahead of time!"
These words left all the Hall Masters present stunned.
Kong Sanli looked at Qing Feng and said with a tremble: "Since we're dropping the pretenses and talking about the real issues, we won't be polite!"
"What we are truly angry about isn't that Su Lie killed our Vassal, but his lords edict!"
"This won't do; they must all be erased!"
"As long as he doesn't issue these lords edict, it's his right to issue whatever else he wants; we can ignore it!"
"But these specifically are different!"
He argued forcefully: "This is how we've all done it! We've used these the ruless for so long! Why does Su Lie suddenly get to have a conscience? Why does he get to act like a human? Are we not worthy of being human?"
"We paid a great price to be human!"
"The current the ruless are the the ruless recognized by all ten thousand races!"
Kong Sanli roared in anger.
Jin Yuanbao, the Hall Master of the Resource Hall, said solemnly: "If everyone follows Su Lie's example, the leeks we raise will eventually wither and die. At that time, the foreign races will start cutting us down randomly!"
"When that time comes, the initiative will no longer be ours!"
"Those who die will be the excellent seeds!"
His tone grew increasingly heavy.
This caused the expressions of the Hall Masters to tighten, and they voiced their support for Kong Sanli's suggestion.
Qing Feng's smile deepened after hearing this: "You've really been kneeling for so long that you can't stand up straight! It's one thing for you to be black-hearted! But you even say the world was born black! You want every crow under heaven to be black!"
These words were no different from a slap to the face.
This made the faces of Kong Sanli and the others turn exceptionally ugly.
Qing Feng immediately added: "I'll say it again! Su Lie is under my protection! Whoever dares move against him, I'll kill them!"
"Why?"
Kong Sanli asked in disbelief: "Do you have feelings for him?"
This caused the pupils of the many Hall Masters present to shrink, and they all fell silent.
Whoosh!
Qing Feng stood up, her gaze sweeping over the group Kong Sanli had brought. She said in a low, solemn voice: "Enough nonsense! Aren't you just afraid someone will follow suit? Are you afraid of losing the human trafficking business in the long run?"
"I think it's time for our Mist Survivors Guild to clear our heads!"
"We should all remember that we aren't gods, demons, evils, or monsters, much less immortals or buddhas. What are we? We are humans!"
"Humans..."
A scene of one person debating the various halls played out in the Hall of the Guild Leader of the Mist Survivors Guild.
Qing Feng's words shook the hearts of all the Hall Masters, but it also made their expressions turn cold.
Finally.
Qing Feng chuckled: "I know you're hostile toward me and hate me even more! But I'm simply stronger than you! I said Su Lie is under my protection! If anyone dares move against him, you can stop being a Hall Master!"
"I will kill you and replace you with a more obedient Hall Master!"
"Try me if you don't believe it!"
These words completely cowed the various Hall Masters in the Survivor Guild.
Feng Tianyang, the Hall Master of the Class Change Hall standing outside the door, nodded upon hearing this. He smiled and began to clap: "Good! Good! Good! Qing Feng is truly Qing Feng! I support you!"
"Hehe! Old friends! It's just a few pieces of trash that died, right? Why be so narrow-minded and want to lose your lives over such a trivial matter? Fine! After you die, I'll personally go and take over your assets!"
Yin Hu, the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, said with a chuckle.
Seven Kills Shi, the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, looked at everyone gently and said: "If you cannot tolerate Su Lie, then the resources our Punishment Hall obtains in the future will no longer be handed over to you! We have our own channels to be self-sufficient!"
"The Trading Hall and Resource Hall are both wealthy halls! You must have accumulated many good things and a vast amount of wealth over the years! If the Guild Leader permits, my Demon Hall is willing to take the lead in cleaning out the resources of these two halls! Hehe!"
The Demon Hall, which had always opposed Qing Feng in the past, unexpectedly stood on her side this time.
When Ying Yuanshi's voice rang out...
The other halls allied with the Demon Hall also spoke up one after another.
Kong Sanli and Jin Yuanbao couldn't help but exchange a glance.
They had come here for profit, not to fight to the death.
Since they couldn't achieve their goal now...
They didn't dare to continue pestering.
"Whew! Fine! Fine! Fine! Since that's the case, then so be it!"
Jin Yuanbao sighed, turned his head, and winked at the other Hall Masters around him. He said with a slightly pained expression: "My Resource Hall backs down! But the compensation for the hall's dispatched members still needs to be paid!"
"Haha!"
At this time, Wu Xiang, the Hall Master of the Exploration Hall outside the hall, laughed and shouted: "Old Jin! If you really want to pay it, just give it to me! Among us Survivors, which professionals at the Second Turn or Third Turn stages have offspring?"
"Your nonsense about moving money from your left hand to your right—who do you think doesn't understand it?"
"It's just an excuse to pocket the money yourself!"
This made Jin Yuanbao's face turn ashen, but he still said with a smile: "Brother Wu Xiang! The dead from your Exploration Hall can't squeeze any money out of us!"
Kong Sanli of the Trading Hall sighed at this and directly left the Guild Leader's hall: "My apologies! Let's just drop this matter then!"
After they left...
Feng Tianyang and the others then entered the Guild Leader's hall.
Wu Xiang asked solemnly: "Qing Feng! Do you really intend to fully support Su Lie? We want to know why. Did you take a liking to the boy, or is there another reason? You might as well say it!"
...On the other side.
After Su Lie issued his orders.
He went directly to the sub-planting space in the planting area.
He took out the Sun Flame Tree he had obtained from Golden Crow City.
Su Keqing was overjoyed to see this: "Heehee! I knew Master would have a harvest this time!"
She hurriedly took the Sun Flame Tree.
As she was observing it closely...
Su Yangyan hopped out from inside the tree and said to Su Keqing: "What a beautiful big sister! Hello! My name is Su Yangyan!"
Then, Jianmu immediately shook her branches and shouted excitedly: "Haha! I finally have a friend! Hello! Yangyan! My name is Jianjian!"
"Hello Jianjian! My name is Yanyan!"
Su Yangyan responded enthusiastically.
She then greeted the eternal thousand-silk bodhi tree, the Peach Tree of Immortality, and the Sansheng Tree one by one.
Jianmu sighed: "Sister Keqing! Don't plant her next to me; this girl is a fool!"
"What's a fool?"
Su Yangyan asked in confusion.
She had been nurtured in the desolate Golden Crow City, had little contact with life, and didn't possess much knowledge; she was still a blank slate.
Su Keqing smiled faintly and took the Sun Flame Tree to the side: "A fool is just a fool!"
Under Su Keqing's planting...
The Sun Flame Tree was planted next to Jianmu.
Jianmu said angrily: "No! I'll be infected! This fool will turn me into an idiot!"
Su Lie ignored Jianmu's fussing.
After completing the handover of the Sun Flame Tree to Su Liya, he teleported to the resource area.
Now that the resource area had Mining Worms digging for ore...
The mining Speed had greatly increased.
Moreover.
The shores of Xuan Lake were already filled with a large number of Fisherman professionals.
They were fishing while chatting and laughing.
Su Lie arrived at one side of Xuan Lake, causing the Fisherman to stand up collectively. Everyone bowed deeply to Su Lie: "Lord! Invincible!"
The mighty sound echoed throughout the resource area.
Even No. 6 Little Skeleton led the Mining Worms out of the mine shafts to salute Su Lie from a distance.
On the dragon skeleton ore island floating in the air...
All the miner Vassal walked to the edge and shouted loudly: "Lord! Invincible!"
They had all seen Su Lie's announcement and were incredibly excited.
Especially the miners.
Every day after returning to their quarters, they would start chatting and joking with Vassal under other lords in the communication group. They knew more about the darkness of the world than others.
Therefore.
The shouts of the miners were even more deafening.
Su Lie smiled slightly and released the Sun Spring Water Vein Pearl onto the open ground.
Buzz!
In the blink of an eye.
The Sun Spring water vein automatically expanded into a small lake about 10 kilometers in diameter.
And in the center of the lake, a stream of spring water emitting a masculine and scorching aura surged out.
As the spring water continued to cover the small lake...
All life in the resource area felt a majestic heat. It made their bodies vibrate, as if an exceptionally refreshing power was being revived.
Standing by the Sun Spring water, Su Lie carefully felt the power of the Sun Spring spring water.
"Sun Spring spring water can be sold as a resource like Exorcism Holy Water! This needs to be stockpiled slowly!"
After thinking it over, Su Lie looked at the resource area's panel.
In the water resource basic data, he saw the information for the Sun Spring.
【Sun Spring, Pure Yang Spring Water, Concept Grade 9 Spirit Spring, 10 km diameter, 100 m deep; Infinite Reserves】
"Eh? Infinite reserves?"
Su Lie was overjoyed upon seeing this and immediately contacted Berber, the vice-captain of the resource team Vassal: "Berber! Arrange for 100 Vassal to come over to the Sun Spring in the resource area! I need 10 billion glass bottles with a capacity of 50 ml and the packaging equipment..."
Soon.
Berber sent a message: "Yes! Lord! Berber is deploying people! Captain Ling Xu hasn't returned yet, so I will personally lead the team over later!"
A dozen seconds after she sent the message...
Berber arrived before Su Lie with five hundred Vassal. Upon seeing Su Lie, they all bowed to him: "Lord!"
"Mm!"
This time, Su Lie sensed a different kind of emotion from everyone.
This emotion was like children toward their mother.
Or like relatives meeting.
It made Su Lie slightly surprised.
After Berber arranged everyone's work...
Su Lie asked Berber: "Everyone seems a bit different?"
"Of course! The lords edict you issued wasn't just simple territory management; it was that Spirit in all of our memories! Your actions have stirred that power buried deep in all our hearts!"
Berber said with a smile: "It's as if we were awakened in an instant, and now we just feel that everything we do is very pleasant and happy! It's completely different from how it felt before!"
Hearing this, Su Lie realized what kind of power this was.
Just as he was about to say something...
A deafening sound came from beside Xuan Lake.
Rumble!
The massive sound was accompanied by a vast amount of water vapor.
The Fishermen on the shore immediately burst into exclamations.
"Holy crap! What is that?"
"It looks like Boss Wang Dalong hooked a dragon!"
"No! That's not a dragon! It's clearly a turtle!"
"Damn! It's not just a turtle! It's a freaking giant tortoise!"
"Look! That thing is coming out!"
...Amidst the clamor.
Su Lie turned to look. He instantly saw through the water currents and saw the behemoth beneath the surface...
