Chapter 252: Shaking the Ming Dynasty and the Demon Sect Making a Fortune
Peng Feng, Feng Feifei, and Chu Ling, along with a large amount of treasures seized from the Eight Great Han Traitor Families, were transporting them towards the south.
And then, this news quickly spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.
In various taverns and teahouses of the Ming Dynasty, there were discussions about this matter.
“Have you heard? It is said that Peng Feng, the leader of the Southern Demon Sect, went to Pingyao Ancient City and slaughtered all of the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants.” A well-informed person said.
As soon as this news came out, it naturally shocked everyone present: “Wait, what did you say? Peng Feng, the leader of the Southern Demon Sect? Isn’t that the one who was first on the previous Hidden Dragon Double List? I remember his cultivation wasn’t high, wasn’t it said he was only at the Human Immortal Realm before?”
“And the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants have Earth Immortals. How could Peng Feng be a match for the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants?”
The well-informed person stroked his beard: “That’s right, it’s said that Peng Feng has already reached the Earth Immortal Realm and killed all of the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants. It’s said that the entire Pingyao Ancient City was turned into a river of blood.”
“Damn, this Peng Feng is only seventy-three years old. To reach the Earth Immortal Realm at seventy-three, that’s truly terrifying!”
“It is estimated that in another hundred years or so, he will ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Becoming the youngest Heavenly Immortal Realm expert in history.”
“Indeed.” These people discussing were already quite shocked. If they knew that Peng Feng had already become a Heavenly Immortal, it is estimated that even more people would be too shocked to speak.
“Looking at the others who were also on the Hidden Dragon List at the time, it seems that Li Dingguo has reached the Human Immortal Realm, and Zheng Chenggong, Li Guo, and the current Crown Prince are still lingering in the True Immortal Realm. The first on the Hidden Dragon Double List is indeed worthy of being the first on the Hidden Dragon Double List. Amazing!!!”
Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, Li Guo, Zhu Cilang, and others were also shocked when they heard this news. The speed at which Peng Feng’s strength was progressing was beyond their expectations.
“By the way, it is said that the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants were selling out the country, smuggling, and any one of them was richer than a country. The amount of wealth of all eight families is unimaginable. What happened to all that wealth?” Someone asked curiously.
“What else could have happened? You’re not thinking of picking up the scraps, are you? Peng Feng is, after all, the leader of a sect, not an idiot. Of course, he took all the wealth of those eight families back.”
“So all that wealth fell into Peng Feng’s hands. Then wouldn’t Peng Feng have made a huge fortune?”
“Damn, I’m really jealous.”
“The Demon Sect is going to make a fortune.”
“The amount of money they have on hand is probably more than the national treasury.”
“With so much money, many new experts will appear in the Demon Sect.” A group of people said with extreme envy.
Ordinary people would just listen and discuss it.
However, those with ulterior motives were already so greedy for this wealth that they wanted to take action.
For example, Zhang Jinyan, the Minister of War, was very tempted.
Of course, it wasn’t just Zhang Jinyan, the Minister of War, who was tempted. Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Cheng, was also very envious.
Although they didn’t know exactly how much money the Eight Great Han Traitor Families had.
But, the money was definitely not little, definitely richer than a country, how could such a large amount of wealth fall into Peng Feng’s hands?
If it were to fall, it could only fall into the hands of “loyal ministers” of the Great Ming like them.
Wealth moves people’s hearts.
People die for wealth, just as birds die for food.
โโโ
Meanwhile, Peng Feng, Feng Feifei, and Chu Ling, escorting the large amount of wealth, were heading south from the north. Along the way, they did encounter some robbers.
The strongest of these robbers was even a robber at the third level of the Earth Immortal Realm, but they were all easily defeated by Peng Feng.
Smoothly and without incident, they finally transported this batch of supplies to the Southern Demon Sect.
And the eight sect leaders of the Southern Demon Sect.
The Flower Sect Leader, Zhu Yufei.
The Evil Extremity Sect Leader, Xiang Changxiao.
The Yin Gui Sect Leader, Song Xiyu.
The Extinguish Emotion Path Sect Leader, Xi Wudi.
โโโ
The Demon Appearance Sect Leader, Changsun Sheng.
The Heaven Lotus Sect Leader, An Heqi.
The Mending Heaven Pavilion Sect Leader, Yang Wuying.
The True Transmission Path Sect Leader, Li Taixu.
These people were all stunned when they saw these supplies.
What a massive amount of supplies!
Even these people, who were used to seeing great storms and waves, were directly dumbfounded.
Hundreds of millions of Immortal Gold Coins!
Thousands of tons of Spiritual Rice!
Spiritual Rice, this stuff is priceless, what a terrifying concept thousands of tons is.
Twenty thousand Fire Crow Spears, and several hundred Fire Crow Cannons.
And all kinds of magical artifacts, there were as many as several dozen.
And countless pills.
And all kinds of cultivation techniques.
“Damn, how many supplies is this?”
“My eyes are almost blind, blinded by the golden light emanating from so many supplies.”
“Immortal Gold Coins, the entire Demon Sect combined only has about a million of these. I heard that even the national treasury doesn’t have ten million Immortal Gold Coins, only a few million, but the Eight Great Han Traitor Families actually had hundreds of millions of Immortal Gold Coins. Selling out the country is indeed the most profitable business these days.”
“And those pills, there are all kinds of pills inside, pills that enhance cultivation, pills that help a Heavenly Human break through to Loose Immortal, pills that help a Loose Immortal break through to True Immortal, pills that help a True Immortal break through to Human Immortal, and pills that help a Human Immortal break through to Earth Immortal.”
“The Sect Leader is already at the Earth Immortal Realm, he doesn’t need these pills. But we do. As long as we loyally help the Sect Leader with his affairs, and properly complete the tasks assigned by the Sect Leader, how could we not have these pills? It seems that I have hope of breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm.”
“I will also follow the Sect Leader.” Xiang Changxiao said very loyally, his loyalty was now completely towards the Sect Leader, what was a Heavenly Demon Gu, as long as he performed well, the Heavenly Demon Gu would be removed sooner or later, and there would be plenty of benefits.
“And so many cultivation techniques, all kinds of advanced cultivation techniques. Our Demon Sect itself doesn’t have many cultivation techniques, the Sect Leader will probably allow us to see these. When that time comes, our strength can improve again.”
“And these thousands of tons of Spiritual Rice, we can all get a share, awesome. I haven’t tasted Spiritual Rice before.”
“I have tasted it, the Spiritual Rice melts in your mouth, and if you cultivate immediately after eating it, you can greatly increase your magic power. But unfortunately, Spiritual Rice is too expensive, I’ve only tasted it twice.”
“Look, and there are these magical artifacts. Among these magical artifacts, there are some that everyone can use. For example, this Reaching Heaven Cultivation Tower, it can accommodate one hundred people. The Sect Leader only needs one spot, and the other ninety-nine spots will be open to us.”
“As long as we loyally follow the Sect Leader, we will also have the opportunity to enter the Reaching Heaven Cultivation Tower, and when that time comes, our strength will improve rapidly.”
“This time, our Demon Sect has really made a fortune.”
“Long live the Sect Leader!”
“Long live the Sect Leader, ten thousand times!”
At this moment, the Demon Sect was unusually united, countless people were shouting that they would be loyal to Peng Feng no matter what.
In the past, Xiang Changxiao wanted to subdue everyone with force, and even if they submitted, it was only on the surface, not in their hearts.
But now, following Peng Feng means having meat to eat, and now everyone was truly convinced.
The morale of the Demon Sect was also high.
