From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 313: Avenge

Leaving aside the hidden families, just take the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as an example, their annual income is nearly 10 million gold soul coins.

In the Spirit Hall, the net worth of an ordinary Titled Douluo elder should be close to 10 million, and the higher-level elders would have even more. After adding up all the numbers, the annual tax revenue for the entire Spirit City is nearly 200 million. As for the total revenue of the Spirit Hall across the entire continent, it would be over 10 billion.

However, with a lot of income, the expenses are also high. It is good enough to save one tenth of the annual income. After all, gold soul coins are only valuable when they are circulated. Basically, all forces will not reserve too many gold soul coins, but will exchange them for resources or investment in industries in a timely manner.

Of course, considering the capital of Spirit Hall, a mere 100 million is not a drop in the bucket, but spending it is just like buying a new set of clothes for an ordinary family, which is really not worth mentioning.

As for all the assets of the Spirit Hall in the northern provinces, they are even more insignificant. In such a chaotic place, the Spirit Hall's control is far less than that in the mainland, and tax revenue is even less. It takes a lot of energy to maintain these territories, and they have only been preserved because of their connection with the soul beast gathering area in the Far North.

However, the soul beasts in the Far North are all of ice or water attributes, which are not very suitable for ordinary soul masters. Even if there are soul masters with corresponding attributes who need to obtain soul rings specifically, they can go there directly, but they lack a place to stay.

The most important thing is that the land in that kind of place is not valuable at all. In a chaotic place, one can easily obtain land as long as one has strength and capital, but if one cannot defend it, it will be meaningless no matter how much land one gathers.

Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu nodded: "Okay, I promise you, I will have someone bring the money and the title deed to the northern province over later."

In his opinion, this could not be considered a transfer. When the other party returned the gems, they would have to fight another war sooner or later. The money was gone, but the land could be taken back sooner or later.

Therefore, there is no need to create any disputes with the other party over this matter now.

Leng Xiyao was somewhat surprised at Qian Daoliu's straightforwardness, but she simply attributed it to the Spirit Hall's wealth and power and did not take this matter seriously.

Then, she added, "In addition to this, I need His Holiness the Pope to publicly recognize the legitimacy of the insect swarm, classify it as a 'harmless' soul beast, and include it in the soul master's prohibited hunting list. If any soul master attacks the insect swarm, I have the right to hunt him down to death."

"Similarly, the insect swarm will not attack non-enemy civilians and ordinary soul masters against my will unless provoked."

Qian Daoliu did not say anything. Although he could make the decision on such matters, he could not make a decision directly without going through Bibi Dong in public. Otherwise, rumors about the discord within the Spirit Hall and the Pope being in name only would soon spread.

Bibi Dong thought about it and decided that this was not a difficult task. This kind of thing had happened before, but most of them were small tribes that had helped the Spirit Hall. There had never been a tribe as large and numerous as the Zerg.

But according to the battle footage recorded by some elders yesterday, the Zerg really was completely integrated with Leng Xiyao, and their fearless spirit made her terrified.

Is it scary? Yes, it is scary, but at the same time, such an obedient group is less harmful to the human world than all soul beast races. As long as Leng Xiyao does not order the hunting of humans, then this group of insects will never cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong nodded, "Okay, I agree. I will announce this to everyone at the next Wuhun City conference in a few days."

"Besides that." Seeing that Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu had no objection, Leng Xiyao continued, "For the irreparable harm that the Leng family has caused me over the years, I have decided to let my sister Leng Mingyue succeed as the patriarch of the Leng family, and let the third elder serve as the guardian to coordinate all affairs, review all elders and senior leaders, and punish them accordingly. I will not elaborate on the specific measures one by one, in short."

Having said this, Leng Xiyao raised her eyes and glanced at the three people opposite her, then said in a calm tone: "In short, everything about the Leng family from now on is up to me. I will temporarily have absolute control over the Leng family. Of course, the Leng family is still a part of the Spirit Hall and will continue to cooperate on the formation. But in the handling of the relevant personnel, I also hope that the Spirit Hall will not interfere and affect my decision."

"I don't have any objection, but the Leng family is not completely a subordinate force of my Wuhun Hall. It's more like a partnership. If Elder Ji Bing has no objection, then the Pope and I will naturally not stop it." Qian Daoliu said.

"Oh." Leng Xiyao looked at Jibing Douluo with a smile on her face, "In that case, does Elder Jibing have any objection to this?"

Ji Bing Douluo was of course unwilling to agree, but he also knew that even if he resolutely resisted, what might be waiting for him might not be the help of the Elder Hall, but the Elder Hall's help to Leng Xiyao to complete the integration of the Leng family. This could be seen from Qian Daoliu's indifferent eyes.

"I have no objection." After saying these words, Ji Bing Douluo seemed to have used up all his strength. He leaned back in his chair and said no more extra words. To him, this was undoubtedly a decision that went against his ancestors.

Hearing this, Leng Xiyao said, "Since the chief priest and Elder Leng are so polite, I will tell you my conditions."

Qian Daoliu sat up straight, as if he was listening attentively.

"I was kicked out of my family when I was young. I struggled all the way from the bottom of society and luckily survived until now. I know that human nature is something that cannot be trusted. Therefore, even when facing the High Priest and His Holiness the Pope, I still have to keep some cards in my hand." Leng Xiyao said calmly.

Qian Daoliu's face couldn't help but change. Seeing the other party's posture, it was obvious that he didn't want to give it. Wouldn't everything he had done today be in vain?
Before Qian Daoliu could speak, Leng Xiyao continued, "It just so happens that I once had the honor of meeting your granddaughter while traveling on the mainland, and we established a deep friendship. From what I know about her, I'm afraid she won't need to pass on the divine way for at least another five years, so I hope to return it to you when she needs it."

"I think the High Priest will not embarrass me for something that is temporarily useless, right?" Leng Xiyao tilted her head and acted innocently.

Qian Daoliu felt as if a thousand horses were galloping in his heart at this moment. Leng Xiyao's words undoubtedly blocked all his arguments.

As if he had completely seen through the inheritance mechanism, Qian Daoliu had no idea how to refuse Leng Xiyao. After all, the other party's words were too reasonable.

Now everyone knows that he is not in a hurry to use this thing. If he is still in a hurry to get it, wouldn’t it be obvious that he wants to break the contract directly?

Qian Daoliu used his soul power to glance at "Xue Qinghe" who was standing by as a spectator. Seeing the guilty and embarrassed look on the other's face, he knew that Leng Xiyao must have communicated with Qian Renxue.
