Chapter 3070: ?Tony Stark: The essence of a guild is that you have to pay money to get stronger!

A trace of pride lingered in Xiao Zhizhi Shu's words...... though she did have every right to be proud.

Tony Is Not The Richest: "...... There's some truth in what you said! But it's not entirely so."

Tony Stark thought for a moment, then rejected Xiao Zhizhi Shu's view.

Tony Is Not The Richest: "Within the guild, there are also top-tier existences who cannot summon other strong ones...... for example, Yu Qiyu, Bai Hu Zi, Qi Mu Nanxiong, and others!"

Tony Is Not The Richest: "Even if they're alone, destroying an entire civilization would be effortless for them...... even a great god civilization couldn't withstand them!"

Tony Is Not The Richest: "From this we can see, once one's strength reaches a certain level, no amount of numbers will help — they collapse at a single push."

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "......"

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "Hey, hey, hey...... save some face, will you?"

Tony Is Not The Richest: "Sorry..! What I seek is the truth!"

Edogawa Conan: "Too terrifying...... Young Lady Xiao Zhizhi Shu has gotten too big for her boots! She actually expects Mr. Tony Stark to give her face!"

Gao Ban Kyosuke: "...... Yeah! I reckon, within the guild, only the president could make Tony Stark give face. As for anyone else, even if old Hou Jue spoke up...... if Mr. Stark wasn't happy, he'd still throw them a cold look."

Sakata Gintoki: "Too real."

Su Xiao Xiao: "...... Tony Stark's personality is actually pretty good! If you genuinely need his help, he probably won't refuse."

A helpless look surfaced on Su Han's face, but he shook his head and didn't continue the discussion on this topic.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Let's get ready to start the mission."

Tsuburaya Daigo: "I'm already prepared."

Gao Ban Kyosuke: "Let's begin, president! I'm really looking forward to it."

Sakata Gintoki: "No matter how much you look forward to it...... anyway... you won't draw a mission participation slot! *shrugs*"

"

Gao Ban Kyosuke: "Save some face, will you? What if?"

Gao Ban Kyosuke's mouth twitched.

Although he knew Sakata Gintoki was telling the truth, in this world, nothing wounds quite like the truth.

Su Xiao Xiao: "...... The official scramble begins now!"

Su Han paid no attention to the clowns these guys in the guild were putting on.

And the instant his words fell, a piece of information abruptly appeared.

"Ding! Guild president Su Xiao Xiao! Old Man Bai Hu Zi! Qin Shi Huang have successfully joined this mission."

The guild fell into a brief silence, then...... Tony Is Not The Richest: "!!!!"

Tsuburaya Daigo: "666666!"

Sakata Gintoki: "Silently lighting a candle for the enemy...... this is just too tragic."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Strength already at the threshold of the top tier, old man Bai Hu Zi...... and behind him stands an entire immortal dynasty's Qin Shi Huang......"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Wing Black Cat Clan: "I really do feel for them! So tragic I can't help but laugh out loud."

Gao Ban Tongnai: "66666! Same here, laughing."

Edogawa Conan: "Actually, I've been thinking! This mission reward...... a guaranteed ten thousand points and a lucky draw wheel! Old news...... but, what the heck is this cultivation technique upgrade card? *scratches head*"

"

Gao Ban Kyosuke: "As the name suggests...... it's... upgrading the cultivation technique you cultivate."

Lin Jiu: "......"

Ao Bing: "...... Wait, doesn't that mean Uncle Jiu and I are the most suited for this mission!"

Ao Bing thought of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture in his hands, and the Supreme Clarity Wondrous Method in Uncle Jiu's hands.

His expression instantly turned: subtle.

Kayaba Akihiko: "However, obtaining guild missions is mainly luck...... it has nothing to do with whether you're suited! *helpless*"

"

Du Dao Ya Zi: "I'm thinking...... Qin Shi Huang is still fine, he has the immortal dynasty's method in his hands! It was precisely by relying on this that he founded that glorious prosperous age."

Du Dao Ya Zi: "But...... what about old man Bai Hu Zi?"

Du Dao Ya Zi couldn't help but fall into thought. Does old man Bai Hu Zi have a cultivation technique? Old Man Bai Hu Zi: "This old man truly has no cultivation technique...... in fact, I think the president probably doesn't have one either."

Ainz Ooal Gown: "...... Now this is getting real!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "I think this is a small issue...... maybe by that time! This cultivation technique upgrade card will directly match a cultivation technique to our strength, and then when we cultivate this technique, the speed of our strength improvement will be much faster than normal training in the past."

Su Han was very calm.

Su Xiao Xiao: "I never worry about the guild screwing me over!"

Tu Shan Hong Hong: "...... Well said, very reasonable."

Kaito Kid: "...... Actually, the guild is pretty scammy too...... it just doesn't scam on the big stuff!"

Lelouch: "...... Yeah! Actually, setting aside the lucky draw wheel and pay-to-win enhancements and such, the guild's functions are actually pretty good."

A poor man's smile appeared.

"

Tony Is Not The Richest: "Pay money to get stronger."

"

Watching the contents of the guild chat, Su Han chuckled and shook his head, then his expression grew serious.

He clicked to officially join the mission.

Instantly, a resplendent light rose up.

When the light faded, Su Han's figure vanished along with it.

...... Great Tang Empire, the capital Chang'an.

In a palace complex stretching endlessly, Song Que sat upright upon the imperial throne. His features were handsome, his expression utterly unruffled, and a Heaven Blade was slung across his back. Though his temples had gone white, he still radiated an immense, compelling charm.

Simply by sitting there, he naturally drew the attention of the entire court.

................. On the seat slightly below the throne he occupied, Shi Zhixuan sat lazily in his place.

And below them stood the civil and military officials of the court...... Of course, besides the civil and military officials, at this moment there were also many experts of the Song Clan and the Demonic Sect in attendance.

For example, Song Que's younger clansman Song Lu, the Yin Queen of the Demonic Sect, Zhu Yuyan, and so on....

"Now, members of the Holy Sect shall begin reporting on the deployment of personnel!"

Shi Zhixuan's voice was flat and hoarse, not loud, yet imbued with an uncanny power, and in an instant it rang through the entire great hall.

Zhu Yuyan stared intently at Shi Zhixuan, a flicker of complexity passing through her eyes. The man before her had betrayed her, and indeed the entire Demonic Sect...... Yet, by unfathomable means, he had nonetheless ascended to the absolute pinnacle of power under heaven today, attaining the position of National Preceptor of the current court.

Song Que had even once declared that under heaven, the only one who could stand as his equal was National Preceptor Shi Zhixuan.

Although everyone understood the Emperor's temperament well enough not to truly believe Shi Zhixuan could split the realm with Song Que...... the fact that Song Que would utter such words in itself proved how singular and transcendent Shi Zhixuan's position was.

Thinking as she went, Zhu Yuyan spoke in an even tone, "The experts of the Demonic Sect and the Daoist Sect have all already entered the palace......"

After a brief pause, Zhu Yuyan continued.

"However, the Buddhist Sect and the Cihang Jingzhai, because they were once forced by you to seal their mountain gates...... have therefore not followed your orders and sent experts to come assist."
