NOVEL NEXT Chapter 171 Sell, Sell, Sell
After killing his teacher, Mo Baiye, as the founder of the Mo Blade Destiny, enjoyed the worship and enlightenment of others. Even if Zhang Xuan practiced at the same level, it would not be easy for him to influence Mo Baiye's destiny.
Now the situation had changed, the opponent had broken through to the fourth level first and inherited the teacher's legacy, becoming the founder, while he became the successor...
This meant as long as he had a breakthrough, the opponent would greatly benefit...
It was as if the opponent was the teacher and he was the student... No matter how hard he practiced, he was working for the other person!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, unable to hold back, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Of course, there were advantages, if the other person could break through to the fifth level, as the "senior disciple," breaking through the fourth level would be much easier...
All along, he had intended to possess the other person, yet here he was, it had turned out that he became a disciple instead. What sort of situation was this...
Just then, a commotion came from behind him, "He disappeared around here, let's all search carefully..."
It was Butler Mo Yi.
This fool actually led people to chase after him.
"Never mind, I'll heal from the injuries before dealing with anything else!"
Knowing his current condition, if he encountered the other person, he would likely be killed, Mo Baiye hesitated for a moment, and did not step forward to identify himself. Instead, he turned around and disappeared from the spot like a fish.
He had struggled several times, almost losing his life in the process, better to wait until Zhilan Valley opened and enter the Heaven Mandate Domain!
The experts he had paid a great price to enlist would all gather there, and as long as he found the opportunity to kill, he would not only obtain the opponent's inheritance but could also propel Mo Blade to the peak of the fourth level. From this perspective, allowing him to gain the inheritance might not be such a bad thing.
As for whether he needed to find a way to get rid of Zhang Xuan who was currently in the Mo Residence... He had never trusted anyone, hence all the money and artifacts of Mo Residence were carried with him at all times. So... It was just an empty shell, no matter how much one scoured, there wasn't much money.
That guy will probably give up after a bit of fruitless searching.
...
In Mo Residence, just as Zhang Xuan stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Mo Yi kneeling on the ground with a look of panic.
"Old Master, I am truly sorry, that Zhang Xuan... he ran away!"
"Alright!"
Zhang Xuan had already guessed that these people would not be able to capture the person in question, so he wasn't too surprised and promptly instructed, "Get me a few articles of clothing, I am going out for a bit."
"Yes!" Mo Yi, seeing the "old master" did not blame him, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He hurried off and before long, brought several appropriate items of clothing to Zhang Xuan.
"How much Origin Currency is left in the mansion? Bring it all to me!" Zhang Xuan, now dressed appropriately, looked even more like Mo Baiye than Mo Baiye himself.
Mo Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Having just collected the rent, there are 20 million Origin Currency at hand..."
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had thought that a household of such size would have at least a few billion Origin Currency, but it turned out to be just 20 million.
After a moment of thought, Zhang Xuan said, "The opening of Zhilan Valley this time is a huge opportunity for me. If successful, my cultivation is bound to breakthrough, and whether the Zhou Yi Dynasty treats me well or not will no longer be significant..."
Mo Yi nodded.
He had already heard about the Divine Domain Flowing Colors, which was causing a stir. It was indeed a huge opportunity, one that, if it bore fruit, would be like a toad lusting over the flesh of a swan, aiming for a higher realm; staying in the Zhou Yi Dynasty would no longer be necessary.
Zhang Xuan continued, "Here's what we'll do. Sell all properties, lands, and martial arts schools under Mo Residence's name, no matter the price. The faster they are sold the better, and bring the money to me after you're done!"
Mo Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "To sell quickly, we could either go to the royalty or the Wanxiang Sect, the Wanxiang Sect might offer a fairer price, but the royalty... might demand an exorbitant amount!"
"Then let's go with the Wanxiang Sect, and while you're at it, convert the money into Destiny Plates, which are better for my cultivation," Zhang Xuan said.
"Yes!" Mo Yi nodded his head and turned to leave.
Mo Yi was quick at getting things done; in just two hours later, he hurried back, his face brimming with pride.
"Report, old master, all the assets have been sold, totaling... 2000 Destiny Plates!"
With a flick of his wrist, a pile of Destiny Plates appeared before his eyes.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Zhang Xuan was filled with surprise.
2000 Destiny Plates, if converted to Origin Currency, would be worth several billion, definitely considered a tycoon's wealth, and that's with a rushed sale. If there was enough time, the price could probably double.
Indeed, as the leader of the Mo Blade Sect, in these years, he had truly plundered quite a bit in Zouyi City...
"Has this mansion been sold?" As he grabbed with his palm, the Destiny Plates were stowed away in the Suspended Realm, and Zhang Xuan looked over again.
"It has been sold... Just now, the ladies inquired, with the mansion sold, where they will reside temporarily!" Mo Yi asked.
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, "Go ahead and sell the ladies too!"
"???" Mo Yi was stunned.
Was he that heartless?
After hesitating, Mo Yi looked troubled, "The ladies are all of advanced age, I reckon they won't fetch much..."
Zhang Xuan said, "Here's what, give them some dismissal pay, let them go. The old doesn't go, the new won't come; after arriving at the new place, you can remarry..."
"Master is wise!"
Enlightened, Mo Yi turned and hurried away. Before long, he came back, "Old master, the ladies have been dismissed... Where should I go?"
Zhang Xuan pondered, "For now, just find a place to stay. Once I am done here, I will contact you..."
Mo Yi left with a face full of gratitude.
After laboriously dealing with Mo Baiye's family affairs, Zhang Xuan reverted to his own appearance and returned to Zhang shi's residence.
"Teacher, for this trip to Zhilan Valley, we want to accompany you!" Yu Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with determination.
"We need the experience as well, even if it's dangerous, we want to try!" Hong Yi nodded his agreement as well.
This incident of being attacked at home and their fellow female disciples getting captured was a huge shock to both of them.
Before, they had lived a relatively safe life in Baiyan City without such concerns, only now realizing the brutal truth that with low cultivation, one cannot even protect one's life.
"Alright!"
Zhang Xuan nodded towards Sun Qiang, "How about you? Want to give it a try?"
Sun Qiang laughed awkwardly, "I'll pass, I'll just stay in the Suspended Realm and wait. Whenever you need me, just call..."
Traveling from the Master Teacher Continent, winning without effort, he was joking, if he could put in even a bit of effort, he wouldn't be called Sun Qiang!
"Very well!"
Zhang Xuan nodded again, and with a grab of his hand, Sun Qiang immediately vanished from the spot.
"You two go ahead to Fu Mansion and wait for me. Just tell Fu Yingying that you are my students!"
After arranging for Sun Qiang, Zhang Xuan gave his instructions.
Experience new stories on empire
"Yes!" Yu Xiaoyu and Hong Yi nodded together.
After watching the two disciples leave Zhang shi's residence and walk far away, Zhang Xuan finally let out a sigh of relief, changed back into Mo Baiye's clothes, and ran swiftly toward the temporary workplace of the Heaven Mandate Hall.
The house, real estate, and accumulated belongings, all had been sold, and now it was time to borrow some money from Heaven Mandate Hall in the identity of the other party.
As the Vice Hall Master of Heaven Mandate Hall, he should be able to take out a loan...
