Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

Zhang Yuan sat down on the stool in front of Yun Yun and asked in a serious tone, "Nine Stars Dou Ling... isn't it Dou Ling?"

Yun Yun: "."

"Alright, I'm not going to chat with you anymore, Sister Yun."

Zhang Yuan slammed his hand on the table and said, "Husband, ptooey, Sister Yun, I'm sure you don't want Yunshan to be used by others and Yunlan Sect to be destroyed, do you?"

Yun Yun: ? ? ?

Chapter 103 Establishing the Divine Court! Fourth-Order Divine Generals and the Venerable One

"What do you mean by that!?"

At this moment, Yun Yun's temperament changed drastically, and for the first time in front of Zhang Yuan, she revealed an unprecedented aloofness.

Even though she can't use her own strength now, she is still the number one female Douhuang in the human race of the Jia Ma Empire.

Her master Yunshan, who raised her like a father, and the Yunlan Sect, which could give her everything, were the untouchable sore spots in her heart.

But now, Zhang Yuan mentioned that Yunshan was being used and that Yunlan Sect might be destroyed.

This is to destroy the two things that she values ​​most right now.

"Yunshan has successfully broken through to the Dou Zong realm." Zhang Yuan changed the subject.

Yun Yun's pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Really? How did you know?"

She had not seen her master, Yunshan, for more than five years.

More than five years ago, Yunshan and Yan Luotian, the sect leader of the Golden Goose Sect, fought a fierce battle on the northern border. The two sides fought hard and were both seriously injured. They returned to their respective sects to recuperate in seclusion.

Between life and death lies both great terror and great opportunity. For example, Luo Yantian emerged from seclusion a year ago and, at just over thirty years old, successfully broke through to the Dou Zong realm, a feat that has made countless people envious.

In order to resist Yan Luotian, Jia Xingtian of the Jia Ma Empire royal family had to personally go to the northern border to join forces with her to resist the invasion of the Luoyan Empire, and even used the power of formations.

A few days ago, the beastmen's ice plains in the north of the Luoyan Empire rioted, forcing Yan Luotian to lead people to resist, which gave the Jia Ma Empire a chance to breathe and gave her time to find the purple spirit crystals needed for Nalan Yanran to refine the Purple Spirit Crystal Lotus Pill.

If it weren't for Zhang Yuan, she would definitely have perished. If the Yunlan Sect lost a Douhuang expert to guard it, it would probably only be able to barely survive with the Yunyan Furi Formation, which would definitely trigger a series of chain reactions.

Unlike Yan Luotian, Yunshan was already old and had never left seclusion. Many people thought he had already passed away, and even Yunyun was filled with pessimism.

However, he now learns from Zhang Yuan that Yunshan has successfully broken through to the Dou Zong realm.

If this is true, as long as Yunshan is not killed by a powerful enemy, he can suppress Yunlan Sect for another sixty years!

“I have no reason to lie to you, do I?” Zhang Yuan retorted.

Yun Yun suppressed her emotions, disregarding her joy, and instead frowned, saying, "Master's breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm is a good thing, both for the Yunlan Sect and the Jia Ma Empire, but you said that earlier."

"Could it be that Master's successful breakthrough was related to him being used?"

Ice fruit.

Zhang Yuan snapped his fingers and nodded, saying, "Sister Yun is truly brilliant; that's exactly the case."

Yun Yun suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and asked, "What exactly happened? Can you tell me everything at once?"

"And what are the benefits?" Zhang Yuan asked in return.

"Huh?" Yun Yun's cherry lips parted slightly.

"This news concerns Yunshan's life and the danger of the Yunlan Sect's destruction. You're not trying to take advantage of me for nothing, are you?" Zhang Yuan stared at Yun Yun's face, his expression calm.

He's not the kind of person who can't resist beautiful women and gets carried away with self-pity by constantly doing nice things for them.

Even Gu He, who fawned over Yun Yun, never abandoned his dignity to be nice to her for nothing.

Of course, this is related to Yunyun's lack of knowledge about green tea technology; otherwise, she would have sold Guhe out in no time and even made Guhe help count the money.

“That’s fair.” Yun Yun took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. “What do you want? If the price is right and you can prove that the information you brought is accurate, I’m willing to pay.”

She and Zhang Yuan can only be described as friends with a fairly good relationship. There may be a little bit of ambiguity and attraction between them, but she restrains herself. Apart from that, Zhang Yuan has saved her life.

Given that, she naturally didn't feel that Zhang Yuan had any obligation to help her; a fair trade was perfectly normal.

It should be noted that sometimes a fair transaction is a matter of goodwill, such as hiring an alchemist to refine pills.

"Sister Yun is straightforward." Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Just become my woman."

Yun Yun: ? ? ?

"So this is the kind of person you are!" Yun Yun looked at Zhang Yuan with some shame and indignation.

If I weren't currently unable to use my battle qi, even knowing that this little brat had a Dou Zong protecting him, I would still teach him a lesson and make him remember it.

She clearly had a good impression of this little rascal, yet he actually tried to coerce and entice her. Was this really a better thing?

"Hahaha."

Seeing Yun Yun's eyes seem to be spitting fire, Zhang Yuan laughed heartily.

Yun Yun's strength is about to recover, but he is still playing the trick of "ruthlessly ravaging" her softness.

It was extremely rare for the Yunlan Sect Master to be so out of control; he was probably the only one who had ever seen it, and it was even secretly recorded by the recording stone.

"You did this on purpose!" Yun Yun clenched her hands.

She could easily see that the little guy was deliberately teasing her.

Because she is now just an ordinary woman, she didn't manage to control her emotions very well.

"Sister Yun, you're really funny." Zhang Yuan laughed. "If I were to force myself on you, I'd rather let the Amethyst Winged Lion King seal you away, then capture you and put you in a secret chamber to make you a secret chamber fighting king. What do you say?"

Is this what "Secret Chamber Battle for the Emperor" means?

"Alright, I'm not joking with you anymore." Zhang Yuan composed himself, took out a silver Nine Abyss Token, placed it in front of Yun Yun, and said, "I want you to become mine."

Yun Yun looked at him with suspicion: "What's the difference between what you said before?"

The difference is huge. Being my woman means doing things for me, while being my man means doing things for me.

Zhang Yuan smiled inwardly and said, "I hope you will join my faction, the Nine Abyss Prefecture, and become an Abyss Guard."

The Way is like an empty vessel, yet its use is inexhaustible; it is as deep as the origin of all things.

The word "Yuan" means deep and abyss, while "Jiuyuan" symbolizes nine realms of life and methods of cultivation leading to ultimate perfection.

A person who has attained enlightenment should not be moved by external things; even the fiercest flood cannot shake him. Jiuyuan can also be considered part of Zhang Yuan's Dao.

And this power is also related to his name, so it's easy to remember.

Yuanwei, protect Zhang Yuan!

Power, Nine Abyss Prefecture?

A Yuanwei?

Yun Yun suddenly realized that Zhang Yuan wanted to recruit her.

It's no wonder I didn't think of that, after all, she is the leader of a powerful force.

“Brother Yuan, you know I won’t abandon the Yunlan Sect.” Yun Yun didn’t look at the Nine Abyss Token and said seriously, “Even if the Yunlan Sect is far inferior to the power behind you.”

“I never said that you need to abandon the Yunlan Sect, Sister Yun.” Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, “To be honest, it’s not easy for an ordinary Dou Huang to catch my eye and be personally recruited unless they have outstanding talent. Your status as the sect master of the Yunlan Sect is still a plus, Sister Yun.”

"You mean, you want me to bring the entire Yunlan Sect to submit to you!?" Yun Yun felt that Zhang Yuan's words were becoming more and more outrageous.

"Whether or not you bring the entire Yunlan Sect to join me is your business and has nothing to do with me." Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "Let me put it this way, your joining my forces will not affect your ability to continue as the sect leader of Yunlan Sect. In fact, it can help you to do so more steadily. My forces will not interfere in any internal affairs of Yunlan Sect. You can manage it however you want."

"By accepting my recruitment, you will simply gain the identity of a guard of the Nine Abyss Prefecture, and a greater channel for advancement where effort is rewarded."

Yes, in the early stages, we definitely won't interfere in the internal affairs of any faction.

However, once the Nine Abyss Prefecture has fully matured and become the undisputed number one power in the Northwest Continent and even the world, although it will no longer directly intervene, it will certainly be able to exert influence.

Yun Yun stretched out her delicate hand and rubbed her temples, asking somewhat confusedly, "Could you explain in more detail?"

"You're a bit slow," Zhang Yuan said with a hint of disdain, but he still explained it to Yun Yun in detail.

In short, the power behind him is called the Nine Abyss Prefecture, and he is its leader, temporarily known as the "Prefectural Lord".

Under the Nine Abyss Palace, four ranks of Abyss Guards—Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow—are temporarily established, and under the Abyss Guards, Divine Envoys are established.

At the very least, a Huang Jieyuan Guardian must possess the combat strength of a Dou Huang or be a sixth-grade alchemist.

After becoming a member of the Yuanwei Guard, one does not need to consider oneself as such in daily life, nor are there any requirements for building the Jiuyuan Prefecture.

Instead, you will receive a Nine Abyss Token that is bound to your identity. You can use it to make friends and communicate with others remotely according to your rank and authority, as well as to receive tasks issued by the Nine Abyss Prefecture or other Abyss Guards.

Within the Nine Abyss Prefecture, transactions are conducted solely based on Source Points. The number of each Abyss Guard is also reflected on the Nine Abyss Token, which can only be traded by the bound user. Source Points can be used to trade cultivation techniques, combat skills, pills, intelligence, and to find thugs, among other things.

This is about winning people's hearts by first establishing a merit-based system.

"This Nine Abyss Prefecture sounds like an exchange?" Yun Yun asked, puzzled.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "You can understand it that way, but of course it's not actually like that. It's just an internal merit system."

Jiuyuan Prefecture is certainly not just a trading exchange with "equality".

Not to mention the different ranks and permissions, there is also a hierarchy.

Of course, the temple's transactions emphasize fair trade. This is because the Nine Abyss Prefecture is newly established and just starting out, so it needs to relax the conditions appropriately to attract people.

To put it more vividly, he first built an "internet trading platform" to make trading easier, with e-commerce killing off brick-and-mortar stores, and then establishing a monopoly.

As the sole owner and controller of the platform, he takes a cut and enjoys many benefits. Once he becomes powerful and many people begin to adapt to the existence of the Nine Abyss Mansion, he will start charging fees and requiring a "membership system".

The so-called membership system means you have to become one of us!

Charging fees is a task, and so is the membership system. If you are willing to give up this convenience, Zhang Yuan doesn't mind. After all, he is a monopolist and is not afraid of competition.

This is similar to how, in its previous life, the US used military power and oil to ensure the dollar's dominance – a strategy that can be seen as a way to maintain its dominance.

In short, we are currently in the stage of making small profits by attracting people, but in the future, we will be monopolizing the market and making huge profits.

Domineering dictatorship!

"Then you might as well just say, give me a membership in a top-tier business association," Yun Yun said irritably.

Zhang Yuan smiled without saying a word, because that's how it sounds now, but things will be different later.

Once the Nine Abyss Prefecture is fully established, Zhang Yuan can send the Yunlan Sect to their doom with just a word.

A word of truth!

“If you want to retain your identity as a Yuanwei, you need to prove your worth. Occasionally, there will be some missions to complete, which of course do not involve internal issues of your sect.” Zhang Yuan added, “You can think of it as trading with alchemists, but the reward becomes non-negotiable, although there are advantages.”
