I run a casino in the immortal realm.

"Yes, Father!"

Night Owl swallowed hard and excitedly reported to the leader: "This is only the profit of the first day! In the casual area from the first to the third floor, all kinds of novel gambling methods have driven those low-level cultivators completely crazy. Many people have lost all their spirit stones, and even mortgaged their magic weapons and cultivation techniques on the spot."

The VIP areas on the fourth to sixth floors made three million just from the betting odds on the sidelines during those life-or-death matches!

There was also a secret auction on the top floor, where several rare and precious materials were driven up to astronomical prices by the heads of powerful families!

In addition, the revenue from various shops and restaurants has not yet been tallied, but a conservative estimate is no less than three million.

When Li Hun and Yu Luo Sha heard the number "ten million", they also gasped.

Ten million a day, that's a hundred million in ten days! This terrifying speed of accumulating wealth is far beyond what even robbing the entire treasure trove of the Xuantian Sect could achieve!

"Moreover, Father, what shocked me most wasn't how much money they made, but Minister Zheng's management team!"

A deep sense of awe appeared in Night Owl's eyes: "There are a total of 200,000 people here today, a mixed bag, all sorts of people from all walks of life."

I originally thought there would definitely be a large-scale brawl or a debt default.

However, throughout the entire day, the entire Xiaoyao Palace operated flawlessly without the slightest error!

Night Owl pointed to the black-clad managers and guards moving among the crowd in the light screen below: "Minister Zheng's tens of thousands of staff members are simply like an extremely sophisticated mechanical puppet!"

No matter what the customer's needs are, they can resolve them within three breaths;

A few reckless rogue cultivators, blinded by greed, tried to cause trouble, but before they could even draw their magical weapons, they were instantly subdued by the hidden guards. Not a drop of blood splattered on the gambling table; they were dragged directly to the underground dungeon!

"Such terrifying command capabilities, such strict discipline, are even more frightening than the Blood Fiend Battalion, the most elite unit of my Heavenly Demon Sect!"

"I can't believe it," Night Owl exclaimed sincerely.

The ghostly flames in Li Hun's eyes flickered violently. He nodded deeply: "Indeed, I just used my divine sense to investigate. Those managers responsible for dealing cards, keeping accounts, and patrolling are all doing their jobs well. Their eyes are cold and their movements are decisive and efficient."

Zheng Yifei is not only a genius at accumulating wealth, but also a master strategist! Where did he find these five hundred core members, these die-hard loyalists?

Ye Tianqiong laughed triumphantly. Of course he knew that these five hundred men were elite righteous men that Zheng Yifei had obtained through the "prisoner of war" channel, but he would never reveal this secret.

"No matter where he came from, as long as he is a member of my Heavenly Demon Sect, and as long as he is making money for my Heavenly Demon Sect, he is a meritorious contributor to my Heavenly Demon Sect!"

Ye Tianqiong waved his hand and said with great pride, "Issue my decree! From this day forward, Zheng Yifei shall be the true 'God of Wealth' of my Heavenly Demon Sect! He shall have full authority over all affairs of the Free and Unfettered Palace, and no one shall interfere!"

Anyone who dares to lay a finger on him, I will wipe out their entire family!

I second that.

"Li Hun said coldly."

"Hehe, from now on we'll all be relying on the God of Wealth for our livelihood. If anyone dares to mess with him, I'll be the first to tear him apart."

Yu Luocha also expressed her opinion with a charming smile.

At this moment, Zheng Yifei's position in the Heavenly Demon Sect was completely secure.

However, not everyone was immersed in joy during this grand celebration belonging to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

On the second floor of Xiaoyao Palace, at a noisy roulette table.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, wearing a tattered gray robe, and looking like a down-on-his-luck rogue cultivator, was holding a few broken spirit stones and shouting and betting with the crowd.

He lost all the spirit stones in his hand, and grumbled as he squeezed out of the crowd. He seemed to be wandering aimlessly on the second floor, but in fact, a chilling glint would occasionally flash in his seemingly murky eyes.

This person is a Xuan-level spy, codenamed "Grey Sparrow," planted in Tianmo City by the Xuantian Sect's intelligence agency, "Tingfenglou." His true cultivation level has long reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, but he has suppressed it to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining using a secret technique.

Gray Sparrow walked to a secluded rest area, picked up a cup of free spiritual tea and took a sip. Under the cover of his wide sleeves, a highly concealed recording bead quietly operated in his palm.

At this moment, his heart was churning with turbulent emotions.

"This is terrifying... This Leisure Palace isn't a gambling den at all; it's a behemoth that devours the resources of the entire Southern Wilderness!"

Gray Sparrow's gaze swept over the rogue cultivators who were recklessly squandering spirit stones, and then looked at the well-trained, ruthless black-clad guards. His back was already soaked with cold sweat.

As a senior spy for the Xuantian Sect, he possesses a strategic vision unmatched by ordinary people.

He immediately saw the terrifying significance behind the Free and Unfettered Palace. The Heavenly Demon Sect's weakness has always been its lack of resources, so it can only resort to constantly waging wars to plunder.

But now, the Xiaoyao Palace can amass tens of millions of spirit stones a day!

With this inexhaustible and terrifying wealth, the Heavenly Demon Sect can recruit soldiers and horses on a large scale, purchase high-level pills and magic weapons without limit, and train countless assassins!

"And that Zheng Yifei..."

Gray Sparrow peered through the courtyard at the purple-robed youth on the high platform, who was being worshipped by countless demonic cultivators, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.

"Not only is this kid alive, but he's actually climbed to such a high position in the Heavenly Demon Sect! With such methods of accumulating wealth and such management skills, if he continues to live, he will surely become a major threat to our Xuan Tian Sect!"

The gray sparrow knew that things had reached an extremely critical point.

He dared not linger in the Xiaoyao Palace, fearing that the keen-eyed guards would discover something amiss. He pretended to be dejected after losing all his money and walked out of the Xiaoyao Palace gate with his head down.

After traveling dozens of miles from Black Dragon Lake, the gray sparrow confirmed that no one was following it and immediately disappeared into a hidden cave.

He took out an extremely precious "Ten Thousand Mile Sky-Piercing Talisman" from the deepest part of his storage bag.

These talismans are priceless and can only be used when transmitting the highest-level intelligence.

Gray Sparrow bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the talisman. Then, he frantically used his divine sense to imprint everything he had seen at the Free and Unfettered Palace that day onto the talisman:

"Extremely urgent! Report to Elder Qin Cang immediately!"

"The Heavenly Demon Sect has built the 'Palace of Leisure' on the shores of Black Dragon Lake. On its first day, it attracted 200,000 visitors, making a fortune of tens of millions! The speed at which it amasses wealth is terrifying. If this continues, the Heavenly Demon Sect's resources will surely surge, threatening the foundation of our sect!"

"It has also been found that Zheng Yifei, the traitor of Qingyun Sect, is not dead and has become the highest-ranking official of Xiaoyao Palace, highly regarded by the higher-ups of the Demon Sect."

This young man possesses a demonic mind and terrifying management skills. The tens of thousands of well-trained stewards within the Free and Unfettered Palace suggest the existence of a hidden elite force!

"We implore the Grand Elder to make a swift decision, at all costs, to assassinate Zheng Yifei! Destroy the Free and Unfettered Palace! Otherwise, the balance of power between good and evil in the Southern Wilderness Region may be completely reversed!"

Once the engraving was complete, the gray sparrow suddenly crushed the talisman.

"Buzz—"

A barely perceptible spatial fluctuation flashed by, and this top-secret intelligence, carrying the secrets of the rise of the Heavenly Demon Sect, transformed into a streak of light and sped toward the main peak of the Xuan Tian Sect, hundreds of thousands of miles away, at an incredible speed.
