714: Danzong bankruptcy crisis

Phoenix Feather Dynasty, Imperial City.

This central area of the entire Five Spirits Continent is filled with Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and Golden Core Cultivators are as numerous as dogs.

Only Nascent Soul powerhouses can gain a foothold.

And even Nascent Soul powerhouses, looking at the Imperial Palace in the center of the Imperial City, are filled with envy and yearning.

“Boom!”

But at this moment, a thick wave of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from within the Imperial Palace.

Like heaven and earth overturning!

Amidst the spatial tremors, a spatial rift was torn open from the Phoenix Feather Dynasty Imperial Palace!

The moment the spatial rift formed, a stunning figure instantly stepped in!

“Spatial rift?!” Seeing the suddenly appearing dark passage, countless people in the Imperial City felt their hearts pound and their expressions were stunned.

In a normal place, opening a spatial rift is actually nothing.

Some Divine Transformation powerhouses can also do it.

But this is the center of the Five Spirits Continent, and the stability of the space here is dozens or even hundreds of times greater than in other places!

It is basically impossible to open a spatial rift here to travel!

Most of the time, everyone relies on stable teleportation arrays.

But at this moment, this is something that formed in seconds with the power of an individual!

“It’s Your Majesty! Kongtong Empress!” Some powerhouses with better eyesight in the Imperial City, while feeling awe, saw the being who stepped into the spatial tunnel.

Some were surprised, and similarly, the spies placed by various forces here had gloomy expressions.

Just this move is enough to show that that woman's strength has progressed further!

This is not good news for the forces who are secretly making moves!

After this spatial rift formed, three ancient figures instantly appeared in the Imperial Palace.

These three are the Old Ancestors of the successive dynasties.

After seeing the spatial rift in the sky, the three Old Ancestors' eyes moved slightly: “Tearing open a spatial rift at will, Your Majesty's strength is becoming more profound. I thought it was some unknown hidden Great Power attacking our Imperial City.”

“Yes, it's like comprehending the Dao in a morning and reaching a hundred years, even spatial rifts can be freely cast in the Imperial Palace.”

Among the three White-Haired Old Men, a White-Haired Old Man with withered hair and beard and a wine gourd hanging from his waist was conversing with an Old Man dressed cleanly with a long sword on his back.

“But why did Your Majesty make such a move? Just now, I sensed that Your Majesty seemed very angry. Is there anything in this world that can make Your Majesty angry?” Among the three, a gentle woman holding a pipa, with the vicissitudes of endless years in her eyes, spoke with concern for Kongtong Frost Snow.

“Angry?” The withered White-Haired Old Man with the wine gourd smiled and shook his head: “How could Your Majesty be angry? As the sovereign of the world, her calm Dao Heart is much, much stronger than all of us old monsters combined.”

“Yes, the look of anger just now should also have been deliberately done by Your Majesty. Even when the Fake Late Emperor passed away, Your Majesty did not show anger or sadness. How could there be anything else in this world that could affect Your Majesty's emotions.”

The White-Haired Old Man carrying the long sword stroked his beard, looked at the gradually recovering space above his head, and sighed with emotion: “The Demon Path is becoming increasingly rampant. It should be that Your Majesty has another big move. Everyone should be prepared to cooperate with Your Majesty.”

While the three were talking, within the Imperial Palace, a group of phoenix carriages immediately stepped into the void, following Kongtong Frost Snow's pace.

Dan Sect.

Dan Sect Main Hall.

Sect Leader Wuwei Dan rubbed his eyes.

For some reason, his eyelids were twitching fiercely today, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

However, no matter how bad things were, they should not be worse than the predicament their Dan Sect is currently facing, right?

Looking at the surrounding Elders, Wuwei Dan took a deep breath: “I presume all the Elders know?”

“Our Dan Sect has stockpiled five years' worth of Medicinal Pills, which were supposed to be officially put on sale at various branches in the secular world to earn Spirit Stones and other cultivation resources to maintain the Sect's operations.”

“But at this critical juncture, those stockpiled Medicinal Pills were stolen by the wicked Demons and taken to the Demon Sect's territory!”

“Without these Medicinal Pills, our Dan Sect has no way to supply cultivation resources to the over ten thousand Disciples in the Sect!”

“We might even fall into decline and become a small Sect because of this!”

As Wuwei Dan spoke, the resentment in his tone also grew.

“Alas…”

The surrounding Elders sighed and shook their heads, unable to come up with a proper solution for a while.

If it were just a few months' worth of stock, these Elders could grit their teeth and cover it temporarily.

And for a gap of more than half a year, or nearly a year, borrowing money from surrounding Sects could also make up for it, it's just that the next few years would be a bit tight.

But now, what they have lost is five years' worth of resources, and many of them were Medicinal Pills refined for others, for which they only charged a handling fee, and they still have to compensate.

Could it be that they should let the Disciples in the Sect listen to theoretical lessons and Cultivate dryly for five or six years, waiting for the Sect to slowly recover?

Cultivation world.

Although Cultivators say their lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary people, no one will think that time is worthless.

On the contrary.

All Cultivators who yearn to defy the heavens and reach the peak value time extremely highly!

Once they find that the Dan Sect has no cultivation resources, they will definitely not waste time and will immediately leave!

Even the outer Elders and even Core Disciples in the Sect will have this idea.

No one wants to waste the few years when their cultivation speed is fastest on a poor Sect.

“Will other Sects lend us money? No matter what, our Dan Sect is one of the most indispensable Sects in the Five Spirits Continent. Everyone is a righteous Sect, so they should help, right?”

To the right of Sect Leader Wuwei Dan, the Grand Elder pondered for a moment and spoke after consideration.

“Hmph, don't think about relying on other Sects, I've already visited them all.” To the left of Wuwei Dan, the Sect's Second Elder said with a dark face: “Those guys, every single one of them wants our Dan Sect to give them a portion of our talent to help them refine pills.”

“Either they think we earn a lot from refining pills, and the interest they give is exorbitant.”

“When these Sects meet, they all say that the Righteous Path should work together, and so on. Now that we are in trouble, they all want to dig a piece of flesh from our Dan Sect!”

“If we can't get help from other Sects, what about Kongtong Your Majesty? An existence like the Phoenix Feather Dynasty, helping us through this difficult time is just a matter of the Empress's word, right?” An Elder spoke at this moment.

When his words fell, the surrounding Elders sighed and shook their heads.

Sect Leader Wuwei Dan's face was even darker: “Yesterday, I originally wanted to discuss this matter with Kongtong Your Majesty.”

“It's all Lin Yun's fault, he angered the Empress away, leaving me no chance to even ask her to stay, let alone talk about things!”

In his words, Wuwei Dan was full of resentment towards Lin Yun.

Even if he was given a three-year punishment, it was still difficult to forgive him.

Hearing this, the surrounding Elders had nothing to say.

Even the Phoenix Feather Dynasty is no longer a hope, they can only watch the Sect go bankrupt…
