"My apologies for making Lord Li laugh. It's not that we don't have better tools for carrying manure where I'm from; it's just because I only recently arrived," Lu Chong said with a smile. "My other companions all possess celestial-grade immortal artifacts. Especially our supervisor's pair of manure buckets - they were personally crafted and gifted by the master. Their grade is so high it's beyond recognition."
"Please stop..."
Li Hongtian clutched his chest with one hand while waving the other, his face turning dark.
If he had to listen to Lu Chong continue like this, he would likely become the first Star Realm immortal to die of a heart attack.
After a very long pause...
Li Hongtian carefully asked, "Brother Lu, if I may ask, if we had fought earlier..."
Before Li Hongtian could finish, Lu Chong said, "Of course, if we had fought, I would have used these manure buckets to completely subdue Lord Li."
"Though I must say, Lord Li, you really left me unsatisfied."
"I was looking forward to testing these buckets' power, but you immediately surrendered and so politely invited us to dinner. Now we feel too embarrassed to make a move."
"How about this - Lord Li, let's have a falling out so I can properly demonstrate these buckets' capabilities?"
"No, no, no, no..."
Li Hongtian waved both hands, his scalp tingling.
In his heart,
He was filled with fear.
What if, at that time, he hadn't come to his senses and had stubbornly fought with Lu Chong?
Then now he would...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the pair of buckets and shuddered.
He would have been subdued by those manure buckets!
...
At the Great Transformation Sect.
Lu Zun's face was filled with anger.
Only now did he truly understand the meaning of heartbreak.
Because of Lu Chong's imprisonment on Dark Shadow Island, the Great Transformation Sect's leadership not only expelled Lu Chong.
Now he, Lu Zun,
Had fallen from grace within the Great Transformation Sect, with even disciples looking at him with prejudice.
After stripping him of his authority as an elder, they had now directly removed his position as elder altogether.
In the main hall,
Upon hearing the sect's recent decision, Lu Zun clenched his fists tightly.
"Wait a little longer, just two more months."
"When my son completes his three months of training, you'll all have to look at us differently."
"Report!"
"Sect Master, someone from the Lord's mansion has arrived!"
At this moment,
A disciple came to report.
Hearing this,
Sect Master Fang Jin raised his eyebrows and quickly stood up.
"Quickly, invite them in."
Soon after,
The man sent by Li Hongtian walked into the hall.
"We pay our respects to the envoy."
Everyone bowed in greeting.
Though the man didn't understand why Li Hongtian had suddenly become so courteous to the Great Transformation Sect, remembering his instructions, he dared not take it lightly.
He hurriedly helped everyone up.
"Oh my, Sect Master Fang, you're too kind. Please rise, please rise."
Seeing this,
Fang Jin and others wore puzzled expressions.
Since when,
Had people from the Xining Immortal Continent become so polite?
Usually, envoys sent to subordinate sects would hold their noses so high they could touch the sky.
He particularly remembered that just a few days ago, the Xining Immortal Continent had been furious about Lu Chong's matter and had been suppressing their Great Transformation Sect.
"Envoy, may I ask the purpose of your visit?"
Fang Jin asked nervously.
"I've come to bring you excellent news," the man said with a smile. "The Lord specifically sent me to invite you to the Xining Immortal Continent mansion to discuss cooperation in crystal mine excavation matters."
"What?"
Hearing this news, Fang Jin and others widened their eyes.
It was about crystal mine cooperation?
Everyone knew that whoever could cooperate with the Lord's mansion in crystal mine excavation would essentially become one with the Lord's mansion, becoming a representative of the continent.
But regarding this unexpected good news, Fang Jin still felt uneasy and quickly asked, "May I ask why so suddenly?"
"Well, the Lord didn't say much about it, but I presume it's because your sect's recent actions and overall performance have greatly pleased the Lord!" the man said with a smile. "Well, I won't say more. I need to report back now. Please have your sect members come quickly, and don't keep the Lord waiting!"
With that,
The man departed.
Meanwhile, Fang Jin and others were still pondering his words.
"Our performance and actions have pleased the Lord?" an elder muttered, then his eyes brightened as he said, "I understand now."
"Oh?"
Fang Jin turned his questioning gaze toward him.
"Sect Master, it must be because of the Lu Chong incident!"
The elder said with a smile, "Lu Chong burned down the Heavenly Immortal Palace's branch, which infuriated them, and the Xining Immortal Continent almost got involved."
"But we handled the matter appropriately!"
"First, we compensated the Heavenly Immortal Palace for their losses, you personally apologized, Sect Master, and we expelled Lu Chong from our sect. Our attitude and quick response must have caught the Lord's eye and pleased him, which is why he's giving us this great opportunity!"
Hearing this,
Fang Jin and others' eyes lit up.
"Hahaha!"
"So that's it."
"What you say is probably right on the mark."
Involuntarily, the joy-filled Fang Jin turned his gaze toward Lu Zun, who stood to the side with a gloomy expression.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
