Chapter 112: Wailing Bell Sect

Chapter 112: Wailing Bell Sect

With Merchant Tao becoming a member of the Thousand Wealth Chamber, the chamber saw rapid progress in the Purple Stone City.

In a matter of hours, the chamber had acquired a lot of farmland and entered a partnership with many farmers.

The chamber did not spare any expenses as they usually bought everything 20 percent higher than the market price.

Thus, all their partners were extremely happy.

While the Thousand Wealth Chamber was spreading its influence, inside the Long Clan mansion, the grand hall was imbued with a heavy, solemn silence.

"Clan Master, they have arrived," an elder reported in a low voice.

"What are their demands?" the Long Clan Master asked.

"Five hundred slaves."

"What! Are they crazy?" an elder shouted in anger.

"This damned evil sect!" another elder gritted his teeth.

The Long Clan Master creased his brow and looked at the first elder, "What do you think?"

The first elder thought for a moment before he responded. "Since they’re here, we’ve no choice but to fulfill their demand."

"But five hundred slaves is too much. Last time, we barely managed to clean the trail that pointed to us. We must not forget the City Lord already has eyes on us," the second elder warned.

Instantly, the grand hall returned to a thick silence as all the elders knew the graveness of the situation.

Over the years, many young people had mysteriously disappeared in the city. At first, many did not pay attention to it, but as time passed, more people vanished.

Therefore, many clans began to look for the perpetrator. The City Lord dispatched his men to search every nook and cranny of the city.

Quickly, they discovered a trail leading to the evil sect, and one of them was caught. Without hesitating, the evil cultivator let the cat out of the bag.

It was through caution they managed to escape unscathed, even though another clan took the fall.

Since then, they had remained low-key and did not send any message to the Wailing Bell Sect—not until now.

"You don’t have to worry, I already have a plan," the Clan Master said calmly, easing the tension. "Besides, their presence is not only for the Mad Lion Mercenary but toward the Thousand Wealth Chamber."

"Huh!"

All the elders widened their eyes in surprise. They thought the Clan Master summoned the Wailing Bell Sect to deal with the Mad Lion Mercenary, but who would have expected the Clan Master was also targeting the Thousand Wealth Chamber?

"With such wealth, if we could manage to get our hands on a small portion of it, we could migrate from this damn small city to a better city closer to the region’s capital."

All the elders nodded in agreement. The Purple Stone City was nothing but a small city at the boundary of the Southern Region.

There was nothing outstanding about the city. The spiritual energy was too thin, which made breakthroughs a lot more difficult.

But with the wealth of the Thousand Wealth Chamber, they could move to the capital and even have their children enroll in the powerful sects around the capital.

"Indeed. We cannot let the Thousand Wealth Chamber keep all the wealth," the second elder nodded, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

"Since the Thousand Wealth Chamber is part of the plan, what is five hundred slaves? Let’s give it to them."

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

All the elders nodded in support. Just thinking of the millions of middle-grade spirit stones earned from the Gold Grade Spirit Link made them envious.

Meanwhile, inside a private room of an expensive restaurant, the Wailing Bell Sect gathered while enjoying the sumptuous meal.

Creak!

The door was pushed open and a middle-aged man entered.

"The clan has agreed to your demand, but there’s one clause."

"Which is?" the leading elder of the Wailing Bell Sect asked without raising his head from his meal.

"You need to attack the Thousand Wealth Chamber."

"No problem."

"The goods will be delivered to the same location as always."

With that, the middle-aged man left the room in a large stride.

"Elder Kai, don’t you think the Long Clan is plotting something?" A seductive woman dressed in a red robe with her cleavage exposed asked.

Elder Kai stopped his meal and looked at the seductive woman. "Of course, I know the Long Clan is plotting something. So are we."

He clicked his tongue, and an evil smile crept up his face. "If they think they can use us as a borrowed knife, they must be ready to pay the price."

"Hahahah." She laughed, and her two big mountains jiggled back and forth, enough for any man to have a wild fantasy.

However, everyone in the room had witnessed how bloodthirsty and cruel she was. One of her hobbies was bathing in the blood of male virgins.

Just then, the door was pushed open and two young men entered.

"Elder Kai! We found a magical artifact!" one of them shouted.

"What magical artifact?" the seductive woman asked. "In this backward city, how could there be any magical artifact? You must have been deceived."

"Young Miss, you’re wrong. It is really a magical artifact," the second young man responded and quickly took out a common-grade Spirit Link from his spatial pouch.

Instantly, everyone focused their attention on the artifact.

"With this, you can speak with five people that have your contact on this relay hub. And it covers a 5km radius."

"Don’t think of it like a voice talisman. No, it’s like you’re talking to them as if they were right before you."

"Now, almost everyone in the city has this grade. As for the higher grade, I heard it can allow a hundred people to talk and it covers over a 50km radius."

"There is even a better one. They call it the Gold Grade. They said that it could allow anyone to communicate with each other throughout the Southern Region."

"Impossible!" Elder Kai sneered. "How could such a powerful artifact appear in this backward city?"

The seductive woman called the Young Miss and the other evil sect disciples did not believe such an absurd claim.

"Hahaha. You must have been deceived," one of the disciples laughed.

"I asked you to scout the area. How did you have time to be deceived by others?" Elder Kai said in a cold voice.

"Elder Kai, you’re wrong. We’re telling you the truth. We’ve tested the artifacts and it worked," one of the two young men said quickly.

They might form the same sect, but as an evil sect, they don’t share the bond of fellow sect members. Elder Kai could kill them and use their blood for cultivation if he was in a bad mood.

"Young Miss, please take this..." One of the young men quickly taught her how to use the Spirit Link before he rushed out of the room as if his life depended on it.

And indeed, his life depends on it.

Elder Kai and the seductive woman exchanged subtle glances, their faces filled with curiosity. They knew the two disciples would not dare lie to them.

Others were also confused. They looked at the remaining young man named Fu Shi in shock.

Quickly, ten minutes passed and everyone inside the room wore traces of displeasure.

Suddenly, the Spirit Link in the seductive woman’s hand vibrated. When Fu Shi saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Miss, please answer the call. It is from Wang Hao."

She nodded and sent a portion of her spiritual energy into the Spirit Link. Immediately, the Spirit Link vibrated and Wang Hao’s voice came from it.

"Young Miss, can you hear me?"

Shocked!

Her jaw dropped and she turned to look at Elder Kai who was equally stunned. It was true! Even the disciples could not believe their ears.

"Young Miss, are you there?"

Recovering from her shock, she responded, "I’m here. Where are you?"

"I’m inside the village outside the city."

The nearest village to Purple Stone City was over 3km, and they could hear his voice as if he was right before them.

Elder Kai was still skeptical and took the Spirit Link from her and asked various questions from Wang Hao.

He answered everything while returning to the city.

In less than ten minutes, he was back in the room while still speaking on the Spirit Link.

Looking at Wang Hao, both Elder Kai and the Young Miss did not utter a word as many thoughts were running through their minds.

They knew the implication of such powerful artifacts.

Finally, Elder Kai broke the silence. "Where did you get it?"

"We got it from a street peddler, but I heard it was the Thousand Wealth Chamber that was selling it," Fu Shi responded.

"When we reached there, there were over a thousand people lining up to buy the Spirit Link."

Thousand Wealth Chamber!

Everyone exchanged subtle glances with a knowing look.

"You said there is a better grade than this, right?" Elder Kai asked. He could not hide his greed and excitement.

"Yes. The Standard Grade and the Gold Grade. We heard they are not selling the Standard Grade to just anyone. They must be from a clan or a powerful group."

"As for the Gold Grade, they sold it through auction. I heard they sold three batches.

The first batch cost three million middle-grade spirit stones while the last batch cost over five million middle-grade spirit stones."

"Huh!"

Everyone sucked in a cold breath.

Even though they were from a powerful sect, such a huge amount of money could not easily be spent by them.

"Do you know who bought them?"

"The Qing Clan, the City Lord, and the Mad Lion Mercenary leader."

Mad Lion Mercenary Leader!

The Young Miss and Elder Kai looked at each other and smiled.

"Good. Go and relax, you’ve done a great job," Elder Kai smiled.

"Tonight, we attack."
