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

Chapter 870 Let's see who can hold out the longest!

After saying that, he didn't even look at Song Wanning's expression and strode away.

The others exchanged glances.

"We'll be leaving now, we can discuss it further later..."

The group laughed, not wanting to completely break off relations just yet.

But everyone's thoughts were similar to Yan Shisan's; no one wanted to just hand over their power like that.

Everyone hoped for cooperation, rather than directly following Song Wanning's orders.

"Please make yourselves at home."

A hint of expression finally appeared on Song Wanning's face as she watched the crowd leave with a wistful look.

Only Shi Ling stayed.

Ye Lantian breathed a sigh of relief and went up to pat Shi Ling on the shoulder.

"It's a good thing you listened to my advice, otherwise I wouldn't know how to save you!"

His words were direct, but also indirectly aimed at Shi Ling, not wanting her to offend Song Wan Ning and jeopardize her future position.

Shi Ling understood what he meant and smiled helplessly.

"You don't need to call me out. Since I've decided to join the Tian Shu Alliance, I've agreed to the Alliance Leader's conditions and I won't go back on my word!"

She looked at Song Wanning with an open and honest expression, and she truly admired Song Wanning.

Because she knows Ye Lantian very well, the fact that he is so wary of her means that Song Wanning definitely has abilities that they can't imagine.

Therefore, joining the Tian Shu Alliance is a worthwhile investment.

However, she also held back; if Song Wanning's conditions became too harsh, she would still choose to resist at any time.

After all, I'm not here to be a fool.

Seeing this, Song Wanning also smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Ling, you can rest assured. I am not the kind of person who acts recklessly. My desire for absolute control is merely to appease the Tian Shu Alliance!"

"Otherwise, even if the Heavenly Pivot Alliance is established, it will be a disorganized mess and meaningless!"

She sensed Shi Ling's sincerity and naturally felt she had to offer some explanation.

Shi Ling nodded upon hearing this, "I naturally understand this principle, and I hope the Alliance Leader will not let us down!"

A glint of ambition flashed in her eyes. If the Tian Shu Alliance could really rise, their future would be different.

It can even provide a sanctuary for family members who will ascend to heaven in the future.

And that's why she was truly willing to take the gamble.

"Great, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Song Wanning smiled and gave Shi Ling a high five.

She couldn't betray the trust the other party had placed in her.

As for those people...

Song Wanning narrowed her eyes.

Yan Shisan caused the most trouble before, so let's start by dealing with Yan Shisan!
Only in the face of absolute power will people obediently listen to you.

This is reality, and she doesn't find it strange.

...

On the way back, the island lords did not separate, but instead gathered together to plan what demands they should make of Song Wanning.

"Right now, Song Wanning is eager to expand her power, giving away pills like they're free, which shows how anxious she is!"

"We just want to put her to the test, let her know who's in charge of this island, and she'll realize her place!"

"But... Song Wanning's combat strength is definitely extraordinary. Look at how Ye Lantian follows her every word. I'm afraid she'll become desperate and do something rash. Then we..."

"Tch—what's there to be afraid of? There are so many of us, are we afraid of a mere early-stage Celestial Immortal? Who knows if Ye Lantian has taken a bribe from her and is deliberately helping her deceive us?" Yan Shisan scoffed, thinking that Song Wanning was just being deliberately mysterious.

No matter how exaggerated it is, it's impossible for a celestial being to kill a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

But if Ye Lantian accepted bribes from Song Wanning, then it makes sense.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent instantly.

Thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be possible.

"Damn it, if Ye Lantian dares to mess with us, we'll see what I do to him later!"

"Exactly, I actually believed it. Now it seems that the woman's reward must have been very generous, and Ye Lantian simply couldn't refuse."

She's a master alchemist; she can casually produce a few high-grade pills, and many people would risk their lives for her.

Perhaps she gave Ye Lantian some lost elixir.

The more people thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and their impression of Song Wanning gradually worsened.

"Sigh, Song Wanning is a master alchemist. If we could get her to work for us, that would be wonderful!"

"Yes, back in the lower realms, whenever a master alchemist in a sect refined a pill, we could choose any one we wanted. Who knew that after ascension..."

Everyone felt a deep sense of regret and were reluctant to give up on Song Wanning, the alchemist.

So the group discussed it again and decided to let Song Wanning take the initiative to ask them for help. Then they would ask Song Wanning to refine the pills and give her some authority as appropriate.

Song Wanning will definitely compromise in this way.

And this is their biggest concession.

However, several days passed after she returned home, and Song Wanning still did not make a move.

On the contrary, Shangque Island, where Shi Ling is located, has joined the Tian Shu Alliance. All the disciples who have joined have been given pills and small plots of medicinal fields.

Those cultivators who were unwilling to pay the fees or join had no choice but to leave the island urgently, and some people ended up on their island.

Those people publicized the "evil deeds" of the Tian Shu Alliance, but many people were tempted by what they heard.

Therefore, cultivators began to leave the islands one after another, heading towards the islands of the Tian Shu Alliance.

After all, it's all about cultivation. Whether you have a powerful backer or not, many people make different choices.

This situation infuriated everyone, especially considering that Shi Ling had already obtained many high-grade pills. They were even angrier and cursed Shi Ling behind her back.

After discussing it further, they all felt that they needed to wait a little longer, as Song Wanning might be waiting for them to give in.

Now it's a matter of who can hold out longer!

...

Several more days passed, and Shangque Island had completely stabilized. The teleportation array had been set up, and everyone could exchange goods and services without being charged a fee.

Seeing the current situation of the cultivators on Wuhai Island, the cultivators on other islands were filled with enthusiasm and began to imagine the prosperity of the Tian Shu Alliance after its expansion.

For now, we can only cultivate medicinal herbs, but in the future, we will have more tasks and opportunities for development.

Yan Shisan and the others were getting anxious as they waited in vain for Song Wanning's compromise.

They discussed the matter once again using a communication talisman.

Hearing those comments, Yan Shisan became quite angry.

"So what if she's an alchemist? We've managed all these years without anyone else making pills, haven't we?"

"I can't stand her, so I'll kill her! There's no reason for me to be threatened by a woman!"

These people are being so long-winded; they just want Song Wanning to stay and refine pills for them!
But this also makes things restrictive and boring!
"Keep being a coward, I'm not playing along!"

Song Wanning hasn't made a move for so long, isn't that just a bluff?

snort!
Yan Shisan angrily hung up the communication talisman, and the thought really came to mind.

The arrogant attitude of Song Wanning was still fresh in everyone's mind, and now many of the cultivators on the island were wavering and were very eager for those pills.

If things continue like this, how will they manage the islands in the future?
