Chapter 752 A Lonely and Desolate View

Yue Hanzhang's calm voice seemed to contain enough power to penetrate the deepest thoughts of the Sang family head.

"Yue didn't think that much about it."

"To be honest, after killing two generations of Qianyan Kings and the unexpected death of Quejian King, I, Yue, feel that the blood debt between me and the Yunbo Fu family has been completely settled."

“If it weren’t for what happened later, I, Yue, would never have gone to the point of destroying my family and exterminating my clan.”

"As for the matter of establishing the Yudu Taoist Academy, it was really the idea that came to me on the spot after Liu Jingqiu asked about it."

"But since we've brought it up, let's just give it a try."

"As for the rest, I didn't think too much about it. The northern states and the powerful families behind the scenes were not considered in this matter."

"Since you haven't thought about it, how can I, Brother Sang, make any promises to you?"

"but."

"Just as Brother Sang said, the current situation of the Dao Alliance and the aristocratic families is entirely due to the survival of the fittest."

I believe in this principle.

"If something exists, there must be a reason for its existence."

"Therefore, since the theory of natural selection makes so much sense, why not see how far my decision to reform the empire will go?"

"in addition."

"I thought what we were going to talk about today was the matter of the Dao Sea Spiritual Object Lineage!"

"I never expected Brother Sang to have so much to say..."

Upon hearing this.

The Sang family head's gaze darkened.

Yue Hanzhang extinguished all the burning flames of "greed" in his heart.

Moreover, it was extinguished by using their own weapon against them.

The Sang family head's so-called "survival of the fittest" was not some excuse he came up with on the spot, but a saying that was actually widely circulated among the various noble families.

Whether it's for personal gain or to find a fig leaf to cover up their own petty schemes, it's all part of the same thing.

Or perhaps those aristocratic cultivators who have blood debts with the demon race's ancestors really think that way.

In short, this has always been the prevailing narrative among the powerful families of the Dao Alliance in the north and south.

As time went on...

This has almost become the legal basis for why powerful families can govern a prefecture, a state, and control a state!

They did not steal the authority that rightfully belonged to the Dao Alliance!

Rather, it's because the Dao Alliance is doing a terrible job.

It was natural selection that brought them to the forefront!

However, the Sang family head never imagined that one day Yue Hanzhang would also raise the legal principle of "survival of the fittest" to carry out a revolution against the various families of the Dao Alliance!

This is the root cause of everything that silenced the Sang family head.

Whether openly or covertly, he could no longer use words to attack Yue Hanzhang.

At this moment, attacking Yue Hanzhang is tantamount to attacking the legal principles of the Dao Alliance families!
For a moment, the Sang family head was unsure whether letting Yue Hanzhang overthrow the cauldron or the Dao Alliance families losing their legal standing would have a worse consequence.

From the moment he finished speaking, Yue Hanzhang stared directly at the Sang family head with an extremely calm gaze.

There was composure in his gaze, but also fearlessness.

If the status of the various noble families in the Dao Alliance was earned through countless battles fought in blood and fire, then when it comes to attack and killing, Yue Hanzhang has never been afraid of anyone!
Let the eight winds rage, I will remain steadfast and unmoved!
But the head of the Sang family knew.

Today's probing of Yue Hanzhang can only end here.

He didn't really come here to turn against Yue Hanzhang.

At this moment, the Sang family head could only hope that the subsequent developments in Jinzhou would not be so smooth in practicing the principle of "survival of the fittest".

Ideally, the Dao Alliance headquarters would continue to cause trouble as always.

Ideally, the counterattack brewing by the descendants of powerful families would make Yue Hanzhang back down.

most……

Slowly gathering his chaotic thoughts, the Sang family head still spoke without hesitation.

"Those were just some temporary reflections."

"That's not the point."

"What we're going to talk about is the spiritual objects of the Dao Sea—yes, the spiritual objects of the Dao Sea!"

The Sang family head's voice sounded so crisp and decisive.

That resounding voice was merely a cover for his hypocrisy.

However, Yue Hanzhang seemed genuinely "naive" to believe that the Sang family head truly thought that way.

then.

The two stopped exchanging pleasantries and smoothly got to the "main topic".

Yue Hanzhang handed a piece of paper to the Sang family head.

"Brother Sang, this is the first batch of Dao Sea spiritual items we can provide. We have the exact number of each extraordinary power attribute."

“The Sang family is located in Wuzhou, and their trade routes connect the north and south. It would be best if they could take charge of this matter.”

"Of course, it is not a good deed to entrust such a big matter as selling Dao Sea Spiritual Objects to all the ancestors and kings of the Dao Alliance to the Sang family."

"For the long term, the Sang family should take the lead in this matter, but it would be best to bring all the aristocratic families who participated in the construction of the Beihai Kingdom's army on board."

"Integrate the channels, then distribute shares according to contributions, and jointly form a giant enterprise, or rather an alliance."

“I, Yue, will set a bottom price—” “The refining of Dao Sea Spiritual Objects is a supreme creation for cultivators regarding the Dao Landscape World; and my use of medical secrets to cure the disharmony in the Dao Landscape Worlds of the Outer Landscape Venerable Kings is also a supreme creation power entering their bodies.”

"In the realm of creation, there is no inherent distinction between high and low."

"Therefore, Yue roughly equalized them."

"The starting price for selling a Dao Sea spiritual item is the fee I, Yue, charge for performing a single medical Dao secret technique!"

"A cultivation resource within a Sumeru Jade Box! And several different schemes, some emphasizing quantity and others quality of ancient books and classics!"

"Above the bottom price, what we can negotiate depends entirely on the capabilities of the alliance members."

"For each transaction, the alliance can collect 10% of the cultivation resources in the Sumeru Jade Box as a handling fee."

"Furthermore, the alliance can provide these cultivation resources directly to me, Yue, to refine into a Nine-Turn Glazed Pure Yuan Treasure Pill on the spot, without charging any fees!"

"However, those ancient books and classics must not be touched!"

"Of course, if any company wants to make a copy of an ancient book, it can deduct the value of the book from its final share of profits, provided that it does not violate precedents and laws!"

"Having reached this level, Yue has made rapid and vigorous progress. He feels that his sudden improvement in talent and endowment has reached its limit. In the future... perhaps a very long time, he will use this time to settle down and reflect."

"The tempering of spiritual objects in the Dao Sea will become Yue's 'main task' during his accumulation process, just like logistical work."

"It is currently scheduled that the second batch of Dao Sea Spiritual Items will be delivered in three months."

"As for specific details such as which type of Dao Sea Spiritual Item sells better, we can make adjustments after the transactions have been conducted two or three times."

Yue Hanzhang told the Sang family head all the details of his thoughts on the sale of Dao Sea spiritual objects.

However, this was a project that Liu Jingqiu sought but could not obtain.

At this moment, the head of the Sang family seemed somewhat distracted.

He was still caught up in the emotions he hadn't quite sorted out before.

Despite multitasking, he still managed to fully grasp the key points and essential meanings in Yue Hanzhang's words.

The proposal to form a mega-corporation and alliance is certainly not unreasonable.

Those who chose to go north in the past to support their clan members in becoming Yue Hanzhang's comrades-in-arms and to undergo trials together in blood and fire were mostly from moderate families.

In the end, they're all one of us.

As for the 10% channel fee, it can be exchanged for Nine-Turn Glazed Pure Yuan Treasure Pills without loss, as well as for paid rubbings of ancient books and classics.

All of this was due to Yue Hanzhang's concessions to this alliance of moderate aristocratic families.

What really concerned the Sang family head was Yue Hanzhang's subtle and understated remark at the end.

He felt that he had reached the limit of his natural talent.

He needs more time to reflect and mature.

This realization had just entered the mind of the Sang family head the instant it entered his consciousness.

It suddenly transformed into a thunderbolt that pierced through the body and soul!

Yes!

Since the time when the curtain was used to reflect the scriptures, how long has it been since Yue Hanzhang performed such a magnificent feat?
He seems to have... truly stopped his rapid pace on the path!
and.

Although Yue Hanzhang's reputation continued to grow stronger after that.

But it seems that apart from Yue Hanzhang, who integrated his combat power into the Outer Realm according to his innate talent, there are others who are not included.

From the very beginning of refining the source treasure trove in the past, Yue Hanzhang's improvement has all been due to external forces, and all are a deeper interpretation of that star furnace!
So... what Yue Hanzhang said was true?!

this moment.

Even the Sang family head, who was on good terms with Yue Hanzhang, instinctively felt a sense of relief at this moment, a sense of peace that this person had finally stopped displaying his monstrous talent.

Consequently, the head of the Sang family felt a profound sense of vicissitude.

It turns out that there is no omnipotent person in this world. What he witnessed was merely the process of a prodigy who soared to the sky, then gradually slowed down, returned to normalcy, and faded into obscurity in the process of settling down.

Yue Hanzhang was merely the highest-surging wave among the endless, surging waves.

But in the end, even after soaring to great heights, it still had to fall down!

As Yue Hanzhang has entered a period of settling down, his sharp sword, once wielded to reform the cauldron, will soon become dull.

With just this one sentence, the Sang family head seemed to have already seen the day when Yue Hanzhang would "bump into a wall" or even give up in the face of difficulties.

That would be perfect.

Thinking like this.

The head of the Sang family seemed quite motivated as he took the page from Yue Hanzhang's hand.

At that moment, the inexplicable resistance he felt vanished.

On the contrary.

The Sang family head suddenly felt a sense of mission to properly manage the sale of Dao Sea Spiritual Objects! He wanted Yue Hanzhang, who was on the path of settling down and returning to normalcy, to devote more of his energy to the tempering of Dao Sea Spiritual Objects!
"Rest assured, King Lingye, I, Sang, will take charge of this matter and will certainly handle everything properly, one thing at a time!"

After exchanging a few more brief pleasantries, Patriarch Sang, looking full of energy, hurriedly turned around and left the Heavenly Capital Sacred Realm.

Seeing the Sang family head cross the river and leave, Yue Hanzhang, whose figure was covered by the talisman array, took out a Nine-Turn Treasure Pill with a flip of his hand. The medicinal power turned into a stream of spiritual light, nourishing Yue Hanzhang's path of refining truth at the fifth level of the outer realm.

All the previous feigned expressions vanished from Yue Hanzhang's face.

He looked in the direction where the Sang family head had left, then in the direction of the Jade Capital Academy, and finally in the direction of the ancient battlefield.

"Elder families... Dao Alliance..."

In the end, you still have to rely on yourself!

Softly murmuring, the flames of magic in Yue Hanzhang's palm flickered, reflecting on his unusually lonely and desolate face.
