If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 338 Immortal Palace Arrives

Shui Wuji's kind smile froze and his eyes flickered.

Shui Wuji's reaction made Shen Ziqing certain of something, but his face was filled with admiration and confusion. "Brother Shui was clearly betrayed by them, yet he was still willing to keep their secret. Such a quality is admirable."

Shui Wuji's eyes flashed, and he smiled awkwardly, "No, no—"

Shen Ziqing didn't ask any more questions, but smiled and talked about other things. "I wonder how the Yuanluo Sect's Chamber of Commerce is preparing?"

Seeing that Shen Ziqing stopped asking questions, Shui Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.

Good quality?

Bullshit! He wanted to go straight to those clans that were secretly backstabbing him!
We agreed that everyone would work together to defeat Dayu, but just because his Yuanluo clan was about to prosper, they backstabbed him? And they took advantage of the fact that he didn't dare to speak out, so they backstabbed him to death?

Shui Wuji was so angry, but he could only hold it in because the one behind this was not a super sect, but the Immortal Palace.

As ancient forces that have existed since the Great Wilderness Period, the Immortal Palace and Tianxu Tower must be connected, otherwise Tianxu Tower would definitely hold Meizhou accountable for the losses.

Since Shen Ziqing didn't know the list, there must be a reason why he couldn't know it. He was just a small Tribulation Crossing Stage, and he couldn't make decisions on his own.

"Well, it's under construction, under construction——"

Shen Ziqing played with the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Shui, don't worry. Take your time. It's best... wait until the First Prince's army arrives. The Eighth Prince has made great contributions in Meizhou and is far ahead in the battle for the Crown Prince position. The First Prince is probably extremely anxious, but Zhongzhou is not as easy to control as the smaller states."

"If you want to control Zhongzhou through commerce, you really have to establish a [new] Chamber of Commerce yourself."

"Everyone can think of this. At that time, we can still gain a good reputation."

Shui Wuji was stunned at first, but then he reacted and nodded repeatedly, "Master Shen is right! Master Shen is right!"

"Brother Shui, what are you talking about? If you weren't busy with some trivial matters, you wouldn't need my advice."

Shui Wuji was so flattered by Shen Ziqing's compliments that he almost floated up.

Of course, it is important for people to know themselves. Shui Wuji would not think that he is a big shot just because of Shen Ziqing's compliments.

"No, no—what are your plans next, Master Shen? If you don't mind, you can come to our Yuanluo Sect and have a seat!"

"This... is a thank you for Brother Shui's kindness, but now may not be the right time."

Shui Wuji blinked his eyes, thought carefully, and slapped his forehead in frustration, "Master Shen, please forgive me, look at my brain!"

The Yuanluo Sect is about to be destroyed, and yet you still invite people to visit the Yuanluo Sect. This is too unlucky!
"That's fine—I'll take care of the inventory of Yuanluo Sect's assets. Make sure you do it thoroughly. There will be a lot of people around, and if there's any loss, Tianxu Tower will be responsible for compensation."

Hearing this, Shui Wuji was horrified, "This this this -"

Not only did he help Yuan Luozong escape, he even thoughtfully helped clean up the mess! ?

No wonder the ancient sects were willing to entrust their entire fortune and lives to Tianxu Tower. This service is truly thoughtful!
Shen Ziqing shook his head and jokingly said, "So, if Yuan Luozong discovers some ancient cave, please show mercy."

Shui Wuji suddenly became embarrassed. "I will ask those disciples who participated in the robbery of the ancient cave to hand over the things and return them in full."

"Hahaha—Brother Shui, look at what you're saying. The fact that they can get those resources means they're destined to have them. If they're destined to have them, why should we interfere? Brother Shui, I'll be strolling around Zhuozhou these days. If anything happens, you don't have to make a special trip. Just let Zhou Yi and the others come."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Shui Wuji bowed politely and turned to leave. The suspended passersby returned to normal, unaware that they had been suspended for so long. Zhou Yi and the other two also slipped back at this time, nodding and bowing with a wry smile.

"Brother Zhou——"

"Hey hey hey - Lord Shen, you're too polite. Just call me Xiao Zhou."

"Just call me Xiao Zhang."

"My name is Xiao Cheng!"

Zhou Yi and the other two quickly stopped Shen Ziqing.

They can't bear to be called Brother Zhou now.

Shen Ziqing saw a thick barrier between Zhou Yi and the other two from their words and expressions.

Shui Wuji returned to Yuanluo Sect in a hurry, waved his hand, and ordered all the elders to start counting the assets of Yuanluo Sect.

The assets of a first-rate sect are not a small amount, especially for a demonic sect like Yuanluo Sect. There are a lot of black and white things, and even they themselves don’t know the exact amount. The difficulty of counting them is no less than conducting a thorough cleaning.

The elders were a little confused at first, wondering why Shui Wuji wanted to do such a time-consuming and laborious task that had no benefits.

But after hearing Shui Wuji say that Tianxu Tower not only wanted to help Yuanluo Sect escape, but also wanted Yuanluo Sect to control the entire Zhuozhou by using the prince's position like Huantian Sect did, the elders immediately became excited.

The Seventh Elder, who was in charge of the Yuanluo Sect's finances, hesitated for a moment before probing, "Grandmaster, should we make some...small changes to the account book?"

Shui Wuji thought that the Seventh Elder was hinting at reporting false accounts and taking advantage of the rule that Tianxu Tower would compensate for the losses, and he immediately became furious.

"We'll understate our assets, and the extra portion will be considered a tribute to Tianxu Tower. We've ripped off Tianxu Tower and received so many benefits, we can't just not show any appreciation at all."

Shui Wuji patted the Seventh Elder's shoulder vigorously, "Not bad, not bad. I couldn't tell from the beginning that you were a talented person. You really didn't let me down!"

"Move, move faster!"

Under Shui Wuji's call, the elders started to stir up trouble as if they were going to overthrow the entire Yuanluo Sect. Of course, in order to avoid being discovered by those with ulterior motives, the elders were very careful.

As the ancestor, Shui Wuji felt at ease and caught the fish.

Just as Shui Wuji was fantasizing about a bright future, there was a movement from the depths of the abyss. A coiled dragon incense broke through layers of seals and came straight in front of Shui Wuji. Green smoke rose, forming an illusory human figure.

Shui Wuji was startled at first, but when he came to his senses, he immediately stood up and clasped his hands together, "Thank you very much, Immortal! If it weren't for your kindness, Tianxu Tower would never have given us, Yuanluo Sect, preferential treatment!"

The dark figure sitting on the rattan chair was startled and looked at the others with a confused expression.

If Yuanluo Sect hadn't shaken the foundation of the Taoist tradition, he wouldn't have made a special appearance. He originally intended to question Shui Wuji about what he wanted to do, but he didn't expect the other party to express his gratitude and it was related to Tianxu Tower.

The other people present were also bewildered, not understanding why Shui Wuji would suddenly do such a thing.

But the surprise and gratitude on Shui Wuji's face didn't seem fake.

"What kind of preferential treatment did Tianxu Tower give you?"
