Chapter 845: The Land of Immortals Is in Chaos
Upon hearing Tang Rao say that the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple wouldn't interfere, Tu Hongxiu was extremely surprised.
What does Tang Rao mean by this? Has he already discussed it with the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple in advance? But why would the temple agree? It doesn't make sense.
If the temple agrees to Tang Rao's actions, it's almost akin to declaring war on the Emperor Sect.
The Emperor Sect's cultivators were killed at the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, and these cultivators are not simple, especially Tie Nutao, who is a super high-ranking member of the Emperor Sect, nearly second only to the Sect Master.
In fact, to some extent, Tie Nutao, as the head of the Punishment Hall, has a prestige in the Emperor Sect not inferior to the Sect Master.
"Tang Rao, are you saying that your actions are tacitly approved by the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple?" Tu Hongxiu asked.
"Weren't you discovered by the Immortal Emperor of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple? Did they come? No, they didn't!" Tang Rao spread his hands and said with a smile.
Tu Hongxiu was momentarily stunned, indeed, neither of the Immortal Emperors of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple appeared, which truly was illogical.
Unless, it's really as Tang Rao said, that the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple wouldn't interfere.
"Our Kao Shan Sect is in an alliance with the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple now, and yes, the temple is treating me very well presently." Tang Rao said with a smile, not mentioning that he had become a Buddha child of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, a matter best kept under wraps for now.
"An alliance? Since when?" Tu Hongxiu was somewhat surprised.
"Last night, Buzhi came to find me because of the alliance matter." Tang Rao said.
"I see, but even with an alliance, the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple wouldn't go this far. We are essentially forcing the temple to oppose the Emperor Sect directly, they wouldn't go back on their word, would they?" Fool said softly.
"Only the three of us know about this matter, oh, plus the two Immortal Emperors of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple. Since that's the case, then Tie Nutao and the others didn't die here. As for how they died, who killed them, who knows... The Land of Immortals is so chaotic, who knows what kind of trouble they got into and got eliminated." Tang Rao spread his hands and said.
Tu Hongxiu and Fool both looked astonished, damn, Tang Rao is really shameless.
But on second thought, it seems to make sense.
Before this matter, there were only a handful who knew anything. All nine members of the Emperor Sect were killed, and one, An Tianhu, was imprisoned by Tang Rao in his portable palace.
So, as long as they didn't blab, the Emperor Sect wouldn't find out.
As for Tie Nutao buying the Immortal Emperor's Treasure from Tang Rao, Tie Nutao definitely wouldn't advertise it, such things are always trump cards, always a reliance.
Who in their right mind would blurt these things out?
"Oh, the Space Ring..." Tang Rao took off the Space Ring from Tie Nutao's hand.
With Tie Nutao's death, the Space Ring was ownerless, and Tang Rao easily opened it. Inside, there were plenty of items, a disorganized mix of materials, medicines, weapons, and of course, the Immortal Emperor's Treasure.
As for Immortal Stones, not a single one.
It seems that to buy the Immortal Emperor's Treasure, Tie Nutao indeed exhausted everything.
After all, a hundred billion, to speak frankly, only someone of Tie Nutao's level and status could afford it. If not for Tie Nutao's high position within the Emperor Sect, he wouldn't have been able to gather so many Immortal Stones.
Another ordinary Ninth Realm Immortal Monarch wouldn't have been able to produce a hundred billion Immortal Stones.
"Sect Master, easily earned a hundred billion, so, is there any tip for me?" Tu Hongxiu extended her hand and asked.
Tang Rao looked at Tu Hongxiu. Clearly, Tu Hongxiu was not asking for Immortal Stones. Such things didn't hold much value for Tu Hongxiu.
And it wasn't the Immortal Emperor's Treasure she wanted either; Tu Hongxiu herself was an Immortal Emperor and surely had her own treasures.
"Hongxiu, don't let Xiao Yun know." Tang Rao said, placing a box of chocolates in Tu Hongxiu's hand.
"Don't worry, no one else will know." Tu Hongxiu immediately stowed the chocolates away, as once you've tasted this chocolate, it's unforgettable for a lifetime.
"I need a tip too!" Fool extended his hand.
Tang Rao rolled his eyes and could only throw two packs of beer to Fool.
Fool immediately beamed with joy.
It's comfortable to befriend smart people; without saying what you want, they naturally figure it out.
"Alright, let's head back. The exchange meeting is about to start." Tang Rao said.
After disposing of Tie Nutao's corpse, Tang Rao led Fool and Tu Hongxiu away from there.
On the Golden Buddha Peak, Kuzhu and Ku Song sat facing each other, in front of them was the beer that Ku Song had sneaked from Tang Rao last night.
"Senior Brother, this beer is pretty good, isn't it?" Ku Song said with a smile.
"It's very good, refreshingly cool, with a distinctiveness not found in ordinary wine." Kuzhu nodded, "But don't steer the topic off track, Tang Rao killed Tie Nutao and his crew; what do you plan to do now?"
"What do you mean, what to do? Didn't Tang Rao just say? Only a few of us know about this, so we just act like we don't know anything. The Emperor Sect can't find evidence, so what can they do? Who can prove that Tie Nutao and his men died at the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple? Hmm, no one can. Without proof, it's fake." Ku Song shrugged and said.
Kuzhu: "..."
No wonder Ku Song appreciates Tang Rao; their personalities are really alike.
Like Tang Rao, Ku Song is always unconventional, never sticking to rules.
"Well then, it shall be as it is for now. However, the Emperor Sect isn't foolish; they'll eventually figure something out. Given their conduct, if they discover a connection to the Kao Shan Sect, they'll definitely target us." Kuzhu said.
"At that point, we'll see how Tang Rao handles it. Anyway, since I've chosen Tang Rao as the Buddha child, there's no reason for me not to help if he encounters trouble. Besides, the Kao Shan Sect now has Tu Hongxiu, and with the two of us, we have nothing to fear from the Emperor Sect." Ku Song pouted and said.
Ku Song didn't have any favorable opinion of the Emperor Sect either.
Even though the Emperor Sect never disturbed him, who doesn't know the Emperor Sect's reputation? They are domineering and ruthless, without any virtue.
Ku Song shook his head and said nothing more.
Since things have come to this, let it unfold as it will.
...
By the time Tang Rao arrived on site, the afternoon matches had already begun.
The afternoon group for those under thirty would be having the finals; the top ten rankings needed to be decided.
Of course, the tenth place had already been determined, which was Lu Jun.
Among the ten people, Lu Jun was a Second Realm Luo Immortal, while the other nine were all Immortal Monarchs. Wouldn't it be preposterous if Lu Jun, a Second Realm Luo Immortal, could beat an Immortal Monarch? That would be too far-fetched.
"Sect Master, where did you all go?" Upon seeing Tang Rao return, Fan Xiaohua couldn't help but ask.
"Went to take a leak." Tang Rao replied.
"Uh..." Fan Xiaohua's face turned black, you took Tu Hongxiu and Fool with you to pee? At least try to tell a convincing lie, please?
However, Fan Xiaohua didn't press further questions, as it was evident that Tang Rao didn't want to talk about it. As a wise subordinate, this was the time to keep his mouth shut.
