The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 860 Are you trying to drive us to our deaths?

The cultivators who hadn't joined were furious, because when they finally wanted to join, the pills were gone.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation.

Moreover, these elixirs are extremely precious on the island.

Therefore, everyone is really planning to wait and see who will back down first.

Everyone now believes that Song Wanning needed them to join the Wuhai Gang; otherwise, she wouldn't have offered such generous terms.

However, in the following period, these people did not receive a compromise from the island lord's mansion. Instead, the cultivators who joined the group began to receive planting tasks and started cultivating medicinal herbs on the island.

The island lord's mansion will provide basic herb seedlings and set up formations to protect the herb fields.

The disciples only need to take good care of the herbs and complete the task.

These familiar patterns made many disciples feel a sense of warmth, as if they had returned to the lower realm when they first began cultivating.

These methods they once looked down upon have now become their most powerful resources.

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Those who hadn't joined the Wuhai Gang were now extremely anxious.

But every time people inquired, they were told that there were no pills available.

The monks returned, grumbling and cursing.

After all, he still felt unwilling and planned to fight against the island lord's mansion again!
Negative rumors about the island lord's mansion also spread.

Most of these rumors are just people who didn't get the elixir talking nonsense, fabricating many stories about Song Wanning and ruining her reputation.

He also kept implying that these monks had been tricked and would suffer great misfortune, becoming fools who were being used.

Song Wanning wasn't angry at all when she found out. Her main body stayed on the island to refine pills and manage these people, while her clone secretly rowed a boat to the surrounding islands.

Nan Ge's whereabouts are still unknown; she needs to find a way to capture him.

At the same time, we are looking for opportunities to explore the surrounding islands and see if there are any more suitable ones, so that we can bring them back together.

Song Wanning's goal was also very direct: she wanted to connect all the islands in this area and establish a teleportation array.

It will become her base in the future, and also the base for her disciples in the lower realm.

After all, too many cultivators who finally ascended to immortality were abandoned by the immortal realm.

She wanted to provide them with a place to stay.

As for going to war, Song Wanning had no psychological burden at all.

This place has always been a place of constant fighting and conflict. If she could unify it, there would be far fewer disputes.

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the Island Lord's Mansion still showed no intention of giving out pills. On the contrary, the disciples who had joined became more and more excited, since the Island Lord's Mansion was filled with the aroma of medicine every day.

That's the island lord refining pills.

Yunyangzi, on the other hand, skillfully took on the role of steward elder, assigning tasks to everyone, checking progress, and sometimes resolving everyone's problems.

This was very familiar to him.

Doing so would also alleviate his psychological burden and prevent him from feeling like a useless person.

With the efforts of several people, many of the cultivators could no longer sit still.

If you don't have the pills, that's fine; you can exchange for them after completing the mission.

But if you don't join, you'll lose everything, and after a month, you'll have to pay in Immortal Stones!!
Many people wavered, thinking that they might as well take a gamble anyway, so they secretly went to the island lord's mansion and applied to join.

Those who initially vowed never to join without the elixir are now blushing and have registered their names.

Only after receiving their own name tags did they finally feel at ease and request to be assigned land and receive their tasks immediately. Wen Shu did not stop them and assigned land of the same size to everyone who signed up.

Those people left happily.

But the remaining tough nuts to crack are still being cracked.

"Hmph, I won't hand it over. There are so many of us, does she really intend to kill us all?"

"That's a bit too domineering. What if it incites public outrage and they all turn against her and wipe her out?!"

"Exactly, she told us to pay, and we just pay? That's way too obedient. You guys can't hold us back later. We agreed that we have to stick together."

"Don't be like those cowards who betray us halfway through!!"

"Yes, yes, we must stay calm!!"

A group of people gathered together, as if they were admonishing themselves, or as if they were admonishing others.

Everyone was extremely anxious and uncertain.

The problem is that these people say one thing and do another the next, which makes everyone feel a bit traumatized and less trusting of others.

But this time, they will definitely be able to hold on!
...

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The island lord's mansion sent people out to collect the immortal stones one by one. Those who had not joined the Wuhai Gang had nowhere to hide on the island, and they would all emit a strange aura.

The cultivators from the island lord's mansion didn't even need to check their identities; they simply walked up to those people and reached out to ask for immortal stones.

"Either pay up, or leave!"

They had serious faces, without a trace of playfulness or joking.

This is the first task the new island owner has assigned them; if they don't do it well, they'll be fired!
A tall man stepped forward, looking arrogant.

"Why should we pay in immortal stones? We've been doing fine on this island before, and we've never had to pay anything!!"

"That's right, we already paid when we arrived on the island, why should we pay more in spirit stones? We're not doing business on the island, why should we have to pay taxes!"

"That's right, that's right, we will never hand it over!"

Everyone gathered together, glaring angrily at the people from the island lord's mansion.

The cultivators from the island lord's mansion looked even more unpleasant after being refuted like this.

"What do you mean by this? Are you planning a rebellion?"

"Either hand over the immortal stones, or get off the island. Don't try to reason with me!"

The cultivators all brandished their weapons, their eyes fierce.

The two sides disagreed on something and a conflict was about to break out.

At this moment, Song Wanning finally arrived late and walked to the front of the line.

Opposite her were dozens of cultivators who had not joined the Wuhai Gang, each glaring menacingly at Song Wanning, their faces full of resentment.

"Island Lord, you've gone too far! Even if you're incredibly capable, we still need to give everyone a way out!"

“We’re already struggling to make ends meet, and you’re forcing us to hand over immortal stones. Aren’t you trying to drive us to our deaths?”

The tall man immediately started crying pitifully; he looked truly pathetic.

Those around who had joined the Wuhai Gang felt quite sorry for them.

After all, the tall guy was right; they really did have a tough time.

But Song Wanning didn't take the bait at all. Instead, she asked, "I gave you a choice: joining the Wuhai Gang would not only solve your livelihood problems but also help your cultivation."

"You yourselves are unwilling, yet you blame me. How interesting."
