Chapter 32: Yue Buqun: I

"Gurgle..."

Around the massive Songshan Sect arena, everyone looked at one another in dismay.

Those who could come here were all elites of their respective sects.

Although Yue Buqun’s words were spoken very nicely,

since when do righteous sects go around snatching people’s wealth?

This guy, Yue Buqun, is clearly using his position as Alliance Master to extort money!

"Heh, Alliance Master Yue is righteous, but this old man is not dead yet; the finances of the Hengshan Sect should not be something for a demonic cult villain to covet!"

Mr. Mo Da, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

In his speech, he placed heavy emphasis on the word "villain."

The meaning behind these words was very clear.

Even if you are the Alliance Master, you cannot snatch their money!

"Senior Mo is right; it is better for our sect’s finances to be managed by ourselves!"

The Hengshan Sect also spoke up at this moment.

With the two of them taking the lead, the remaining Taishan Sect and Songshan Sect naturally spoke up to refuse as well.

However, Yue Buqun had long been prepared for everyone’s refusal.

"Sigh, since you all distrust me so much, then let us drop what I just said!"

With a sigh and a wave of his hand, Yue Buqun dismissed the matter.

Seeing that Yue Buqun did not push his luck, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yet, the next second, Yue Buqun’s words left everyone dumbfounded again.

"It’s just that when the demonic cult villains arrive in the future, I fear I will be willing but unable to help!"

Shaking his head, Yue Buqun’s gaze swept over Mr. Mo Da and the others.

This look made Mr. Mo Da and the others furious.

Shameless, truly too shameless!

What does this Yue Buqun mean? Is he asking them to pay protection money?

The dignified Five Mountains Alliance had just been established.

As the Alliance Master, Yue Buqun was actually doing such a thing.

Mr. Mo Da only felt that he had been blind before.

Even if Zuo Lengchan were up there, he would still be better than Yue Buqun!

No, that’s not right; even taking a rope and tying up a dog would be better than him.

Zuo Lengchan: I’ll be damned, thank you very much!

At this moment, Mr. Mo Da and the others regretted it.

As for their regret, Yue Buqun would not pay it any mind.

Regret?

You only regret it now.

Later on, you will definitely regret that you paid too little.

Sneering inwardly, Yue Buqun had calculated that Mr. Mo Da and the others would disagree.

"You all know the strength of Dongfang Bubai; if he strikes and I am willing but unable to help, then the result!"

He didn't say much more, but Yue Buqun’s meaning was very clear.

Either pay the protection money, and he, Yue Buqun, will keep you safe.

Or, he, Yue Buqun, will lure Dongfang Bubai here.

And then watch you fight Dongfang Bubai!

If you can win, Yue Buqun will endure it.

If you don't win, sorry, he, Yue Buqun, will be there to ransack your homes on the spot!

Oh, sorry, I misspoke.

The people were killed by Dongfang Bubai; he, Yue Buqun, is merely acting as the Five Mountains Alliance Master.

Coming specifically to look after the remaining orphans and incidentally taking custody of the orphans' property—is there a problem with that?

There is no problem at all!

Within the Huashan Sect, Lin Pingzhi was instantly agitated upon hearing such words.

He was familiar with this tactic!

This was exactly what Yue Buqun used when he schemed against him and Yu Canghai!

Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi became furious.

That bastard Yue Buqun still hasn't helped him kill Yu Canghai to this day.

He even used the high-sounding excuse that a blood feud must be avenged with one's own hands.

With just that one sentence, he swindled away his entire family fortune of one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Dark, it’s just too damn dark!

Looking at Yue Buqun on the arena, Lin Pingzhi began to curse in his heart.

On the other side, Mr. Mo Da and the others were completely dumbfounded.

What did they just hear!

This is a naked threat!

Is this still the "Gentleman Sword" Yue Buqun?

If someone said this was the demonic cult leader Dongfang Bubai, they would believe it too!

Standing behind Yue Buqun, Zuo Lengchan watched Yue Buqun’s slick maneuvers, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Ruthless, too ruthless!

This tactic of Yue Buqun’s is even more ruthless than his own!

He had just sat on the seat of Alliance Master and was already openly collecting protection money.

At this moment, Zuo Lengchan felt as if he were meeting Yue Buqun for the first time.

Big Brother, you are my Big Brother!

He truly admired this way of making money!

"Cough, cough, Alliance Master Yue, look at this!"

Anyone could hear the deep meaning in Yue Buqun’s words.

Those who had previously refused firmly now softened their stance.

If they were really attacked by Dongfang Bubai, what else could they do?

Moreover, if they didn't pay, they would offend Yue Buqun and also offend Dongfang Bubai.

They would have offended the two strongest people in both the righteous and demonic paths.

How would they live their lives in the future!

"Sigh, I understand your situations; just pay according to this!"

With a sigh, Yue Buqun casually pulled a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Zuo Lengchan, who was standing to the side.

Zuo Lengchan, still in a daze, silently took it.

With just one glance, Zuo Lengchan was stunned and dumbfounded.

On the scroll were the protection fees to be paid by each major sect.

This damn Yue Buqun had already prepared all of this before he even arrived.

Thinking of this, Zuo Lengchan felt cold sweat pouring down.

Old schemer!

A proper old schemer!

Keeping a low profile the whole way, and at the very end, pulling out such a big treasure!

How could he, Zuo Lengchan, possibly resist?

After reading the scroll, Zuo Lengchan passed it to Mr. Mo Da and the others.

For a moment, as the scroll circulated, everyone’s expression toward Yue Buqun changed.

His schemes were too deep.

This scroll was clearly prepared long ago.

This meant that all of this had been planned by Yue Buqun long ago.

When Ning Zhongze saw the contents of the scroll, she was already dumbfounded.

From that moment on, she felt that Yue Buqun was so like a stranger.

Is this still the humble and gentlemanly Yue Buqun?

Is this still the Yue Buqun who lived with her day and night?

Ning Zhongze felt as if she were meeting Yue Buqun for the first time.

Looking at the figure on the arena, Ning Zhongze felt a bit dazed for a moment.

And Yue Buqun, at this moment, naturally would not notice this.

For someone like him, who would even castrate himself in pursuit of martial arts,

he simply did not care about Ning Zhongze’s confusion.

What he cares about right now is money!

With money, what kind of Ning Zhongze, he...

*Cough, cough, cough*, Yue Buqun had let his thoughts wander for a moment, and his gaze involuntarily returned to the present.

Looking down once more at Mo Da and the others beneath him, a hint of menace appeared in Yue Buqun's eyes.

Having locked eyes with Yue Buqun, the moment they saw the scroll, Mr. Mo Da and the others knew.

Today's matter could not be settled amicably.

Yue Buqun was clearly determined to win.

And having witnessed Yue Buqun's strength, Mo Da and the others knew full well that even if they joined forces, they could not defeat Yue Buqun!

The situation was stronger than the people; in the end, Mo Da and the others could only heave a sigh.

On the arena stage, watching Mo Da and the others bow their heads, Yue Buqun could not help but grow excited.

He was wealthy once again!

At the mere thought of the delicacies in the gourmet shop, Yue Buqun was filled with motivation.
