Chapter 1177: Crisis Resolved, Fee Schedule

Luo Ling had never imagined that one day he would actually be driven to this state by Xuan Ji.

In Xuan Ji's life, the majority of her time had been spent under his control.

In his eyes, Xuan Ji was nothing more than a chess piece he had chosen, a sacrificial offering.

It was only because she was too beautiful, earning a sliver of his "kindness," that she had managed to survive until now.

Even when Xuan Ji rebelled against the Youyun Holy Land and even erased his control over the Asura Magic Treasure within her body.

He had never viewed her as an existence equal to himself in status.

Until now...

Death descended, and he finally recognized reality.

He completely abandoned his usual arrogant posture.

"Spare me."

"Xuan Ji, we were once a model Dao Companion couple famous throughout Youzhou."

"Even if we have turned against each other, is there really not a shred of lingering affection in your heart?"

"If you let me go, how about we wipe the slate clean on everything from the past?"

At this moment, Luo Ling had already figured it out and completely abandoned his dignity.

With a tone bordering on begging, he appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her.

He did not want to die.

Fear of death was only one aspect; deep in his heart, there were three even deeper obsessions.

That was to slaughter three people.

Wan Guiyuan, Ye Lingyun, and Wang Jianqiang!

It was these three who had completely tarnished his once-flawless reputation and made him a laughingstock across the Eight Continents and the Immortal Abandoned Land!

If this grudge were not avenged, he would not be able to close his eyes even in death!

However, amidst his pleas for mercy, Xuan Ji's expression did not change in the slightest from beginning to end.

"Stupid dog!"

She sneered, her Spirit Sense surging into Luo Ling's Spirit Embryo.

"No!"

A shrill, miserable scream erupted from Luo Ling's mouth, and then he lost all signs of life.

After erasing Luo Ling's consciousness, Xuan Ji grabbed Luo Ling's Spirit Embryo, her figure flashed, and she returned to Wang Jianqiang's side.

She casually sent Luo Ling's Spirit Embryo before Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang did not stand on ceremony; with a wave of his palm, he put away Luo Ling's Spirit Embryo.

"Thank you, babe."

He looked at Xuan Ji with a smile.

Xuan Ji rolled her eyes and ignored him.

Luo Ling is already dead, are you addicted to acting?

Wang Jianqiang, ignored by Xuan Ji, did not mind at all. He turned his head to look at the group of Great Vehicle cultivators from Outside the Realm, "Seniors, we have helped you take care of Luo Ling. As for the remaining two, you surely don't expect us to help with them too, right?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words.

Tianlingzi looked at Meng Shan and the other Supreme Elder of the Youyun Holy Land, "Little friend, rest assured, these two will be left to us."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Meng Shan and the other Supreme Elder of the Youyun Holy Land were terrified and fled in a panic.

However.

Before more than a hundred Great Vehicle Stage cultivators.

How could they possibly escape?

Only twenty-some people attacked, and after one round of strikes, both their physical bodies were shattered and their Spirit Embryos were heavily damaged.

Afterward, they were captured and their consciousnesses were erased.

"Little friend, this is our sincerity."

Tianlingzi waved his palm.

The Spirit Embryos of Meng Shan and his companion were sent before Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "My Immortal Abandoned Land has seen the seniors' sincerity."

As he spoke, he waved his palm and collected both Spirit Embryos.

Seeing this, Tianlingzi smiled gently, "Then, can we discuss the matter of the rent now?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Senior, no need to rush. We still need to prepare. Within three months, my Immortal Abandoned Land will demarcate certain areas to serve as rental zones."

"The prices for the rental zones will vary according to the richness of their resources."

"As for the specific rental fees, they will be formulated at that time and then transmitted to you all."

"You all just need to leave a method of communication."

The Great Vehicle cultivators from Outside the Realm looked at each other and then nodded helplessly.

Now that conquering the Immortal Abandoned Land was absolutely impossible, if they wanted to live in the Immortal Abandoned Land, this was the only way.

Thus.

A grand and vigorous war ended in such an anticlimactic, sloppy fashion.

The Outside the Realm Army came aggressively and left with their tails between their legs.

As for the three sects—the Beast Taming Sect, the Ancient God Palace, and the Sacred Palace.

As allies of the Immortal Abandoned Land, to prevent those people from Outside the Realm from playing dirty, they did not immediately return Outside the Realm.

Instead, he settled down temporarily within the Tianhuo Domain.

Three months later, after some discussion with a group of powerhouses from the Immortal Abandoned Land, Xuanyi drafted the rental zones and, under the guidance of Wang Jianqiang, established the fee standards for each rental zone.

As the greatest contributor to this great war between the Immortal Abandoned Land and Outside the Realm.

Xuanyi and the local Great Vehicle cultivators of the Immortal Abandoned Land unanimously decided to allocate twenty percent of the rental revenue to Wang Jianqiang.

As for the remaining eighty percent, it would be obtained by the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace and a group of top forces in the Immortal Abandoned Land.

Twenty percent—this proportion might seem small.

But in reality, the amount was already quite astonishing.

Even the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, which received the largest share, only obtained less than ten percent.

After finalizing the fee standards.

Xuanyi specifically dispatched some Cultivators to enter Outside the Realm through the Boundary Wall Passage to deliver the fee schedule to the major top forces Outside the Realm.

When those top forces Outside the Realm received the fee list, every one of them changed color, their hearts pounding wildly.

Although they had already prepared themselves to be fleeced.

They still had not expected that the sickle of the Immortal Abandoned Land would swing so ruthlessly.

If they were to follow this fee standard.

Even for top forces of the Eight Continents like them, exhausting most of the resources within their sects would likely only allow them to rent in the worst areas for a hundred years.

This is simply treating them like leeks to be harvested; it is too hateful!

The high-level figures of the various forces Outside the Realm all cursed in anger.

But after the cursing, they had no choice but to calm down.

Renting territory within the Immortal Abandoned Land was certainly costly.

But they had to agree to it, because they currently had no qualifications to negotiate with the Immortal Abandoned Land at all.

Just as the land rental standards in the Immortal Abandoned Land were spreading across the Eight Continents Outside the Realm.

Xuanyi was leading Wen Tiansheng, Qi Tongtian, and the Master of the Sacred Palace to constantly roam the Immortal Abandoned Land, selecting territory.

After some careful selection, Wen Tiansheng, Qi Tongtian, and the Master of the Sacred Palace finally determined the locations of their territories.

As masters of top forces Outside the Realm.

The vision of the three was beyond doubt.

The territories they chose were all the areas with the most top-tier resources in the Immortal Abandoned Land.

Compared to them.

The territories designated as rental zones could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Most of the rental zones were places with harsh environments unsuitable for cultivation.

If the various forces Outside the Realm entered these rental zones, they would have to transport cultivation resources from the outside world in the future to support the daily cultivation of the Cultivators stationed in the Immortal Abandoned Land.

In this way.

Their cultivation in the Immortal Abandoned Land would be restricted, destined to be unable to develop within the Immortal Abandoned Land.

They could only use the Immortal Abandoned Land purely as a place to extend their lives, allowing those in their sects whose lifespans were coming to an end to enter it.

In this way, the future threat they posed to the Immortal Abandoned Land could be reduced to a minimum.
