Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: The Four Great Holy Lords Gather

"Strange, the Myriad Flowers Holy Lord left the Myriad Flowers Holy Land and headed towards the Southern Region. Could it be for the mobile phones?"

On the other side, Wu Hao divine sense was enough to cover a small half of the Central Region. The moment the Myriad Flowers Holy Lord passed by, Wu Hao also keenly captured it. Combined with the direction the Myriad Flowers Holy Lord was heading, Wu Hao quickly determined that the Myriad Flowers Holy Lord was likely planning to go to the Southern Region.

And what could possibly attract the Myriad Flowers Holy Lord to the Southern Region now? It could only be the mobile phones.

Thinking of this, Wu Hao did not hesitate and chose to follow secretly. After all, the Myriad Flowers Holy Lord was a Quasi-Emperor Peak, and with a genuine Emperor Weapon in hand, if she were to attack Wu Rulong, the means he had left behind might not be able to stop her.

But just as Wu Hao was following Murong Huang, he also sensed three other auras similar to Murong Huang's not far away. It seemed they were all heading towards the Southern Region.

"Interesting. It seems a small gadget I casually invented has even startled the Four Great Holy Lands, making them want to snatch it."

Wu Hao thought to himself, then continued to follow silently behind Murong Huang. Don't underestimate Murong Huang as a Quasi-Emperor Peak; the current Wu Hao is a Great Emperor Late Stage. If he wanted to avoid being discovered by Murong Huang, even if he was two and a half meters away, Murong Huang would not be able to sense him.

The speed of the Four Great Holy Lords was extremely fast. They soon arrived in the Southern Region and, following the location they had previously obtained, reached the Wu Clan Commerce.

Just as Murong Huang was about to speak, she sensed something and suddenly looked not far away, speaking with a cold sneer.

"Li Taibai, as expected, you're here too."

As Murong Huang's words fell, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe and carrying a long sword appeared not far away. This person was none other than the Holy Lord of the Qinglian Holy Land, Li Taibai.

But at this moment, Li Taibai's face did not show the joy of catching up with an old friend. Instead, he spoke with an 'as expected' expression.

"What? You can come, but I can't? And the two hiding nearby, come out."

As Li Taibai's words fell, two more figures slowly emerged from the void nearby.

Upon seeing those two figures, Murong Huang's expression became even uglier, because they were the Holy Lord of the Soft Water Holy Land, Lin Shui Rou, and the Holy Lord of the Jinglei Holy Land, Lei Wanyun.

"Old thief Murong, are you thinking of hogging everything alone? Aren't you afraid that the three of us will join forces and attack your Myriad Flowers Holy Land?"

Lei Wanyun looked at Murong Huang with eyes full of coldness. If the Four Great Holy Lands were to fight one-on-one, it would basically be a draw. But if it were three-on-one, the Myriad Flowers Holy Land would definitely lose.

However, unless absolutely necessary, the Four Great Holy Lands would never go to war, because if they did, the ripples would be enough to make the entire Xuantian Realm unable to find peace.

"Hehehe, Old Murong, do you think only you would know? Of course, we would come once we knew. The water here is too deep; you can't handle it. Just leave it to me."

Lin Shui Rou covered her mouth and smiled coldly at Murong Huang, but Murong Huang refused without hesitation.

"Three of you, let me have the things here. How about I, Murong Huang, owe each of you a favor?"

Are you kidding? If any Holy Land were to control the things here, then in just a hundred years, they could probably rule the Xuantian Realm and become its Master.

If they dared to let Murong Huang have the things here, they would probably be cursed to death by the people in their Holy Land upon returning.

So, without hesitation, Li Taibai and the others refused.

Seeing this scene, Wu Hao, who was hiding in the dark, became curious. How would the Four Great Holy Lords resolve this matter?

However, just then, Murong Huang spoke.

"Since we can't obtain it, how about destroying it? If none of us are willing to back down, then the best solution is to destroy this thing. This way, no one can threaten the status of our Four Great Holy Lands."

"At the same time, the relationship between our Four Great Holy Lands can remain as it is."

Murong Huang's tone was extremely serious. This was the best solution she had thought of for a long time. If they didn't want their Four Great Holy Lands to go to war, then destruction was the final method.

Otherwise, even if one Holy Land obtained this technology, the other three Holy Lands would definitely not stand by and do nothing. The best way was to destroy the Wu Clan Commerce. This way, their Four Great Holy Lands would not go to war.

As Murong Huang's words fell, Li Taibai and the other two fell silent. It was clear they hadn't expected Murong Huang to come up with such a method.

Li Taibai spoke first.

"If you want to make a move, go ahead. I will only ensure that you don't get the mobile phone technology, or, my Qinglian Holy Land can cooperate with their Wu Clan Commerce."

As a righteous sect, Li Taibai would not do something like wiping out an entire clan.

As Li Taibai spoke, Lin Shui Rou also chuckled.

"I'm not that violent either. If your Myriad Flowers Holy Land wants to make a move, then go ahead. It's just that my Soft Water Holy Land might not stand by and might even help the Wu Clan Commerce."

"Indeed, wiping out an entire clan is too much, so I choose to stand with the Wu Clan Commerce."

Lei Wanyun also nodded, saying with a serious expression.

Looking at their faces, if it weren't for the fact that their strengths were equal, Murong Huang would have probably gone up and taken care of them long ago.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Murong Huang finally asked.

"Then how do you think this matter should be resolved? Can the three of you just watch a small Wu Clan Commerce reach the same level as our Four Great Holy Lands?"

"It's very simple. Let the Wu Clan Commerce give us a portion of their profits, and we will provide them with protection."

Li Taibai said without hesitation. It was simple to prevent the Wu Clan Commerce from reaching the level of their Four Great Holy Lands: the Four Great Holy Lands would come to the Wu Clan Commerce and collect protection fees.

As long as the protection fees the Wu Clan Commerce paid to them were more than their remaining profits, the Wu Clan Commerce would never have a chance to rise.

Lin Shui Rou and Lei Wanyun also nodded in agreement. They had the same idea.

But Murong Huang didn't think so. After all, if this were the case, when would her Myriad Flowers Holy Land ever have a chance to rise? However, she couldn't refuse now. Either refuse and become enemies with the other three Holy Lands.

Or go along with the flow and maintain the status quo.

Looking at the current strength, it was clear that Murong Huang did not have the ability to overturn the table, so she could only sigh and agree.

Soon, the four of them had discussed it. They would let the Wu Clan Commerce give about ninety percent of their income to the Four Great Holy Lands to be divided equally. Then, the income divided among the Four Great Holy Lands would still be higher than that of the Wu Clan Commerce. This way, the Wu Clan Commerce would not have the idea of surpassing the Four Great Holy Lands.

However, imagination is beautiful, reality is harsh. Wu Hao had also heard their words and sighed helplessly. He just wanted his son to do business properly, why did someone always have to seek death?

First the Li Clan Dynasty, and now the people from the Four Great Holy Lands.

But there was no other way. Now, even if he didn't make a move, it wouldn't work. And according to his understanding of his son, his son would definitely not agree, so either he makes a move to repel the Four Great Holy Lords, or he just watches.
