Chapter 248: A stone hits a thousand waves
After wandering through various cities and bedding the top courtesans of every high-class brothel, earning the title "Diamond Dragon Drill," Fang Wenle finally decided to head to the Happy Union Sect and officially enter the cultivation world to begin his journey to glory.
At this moment, his overall ranking was 560, neither high nor low, with attributes finely tuned and various unique skills practiced to perfection, ensuring that he wouldn't be harvested to death upon entering the sect...
Despite his daily grind, Fang Wenle kept an eye on the top ten rankings, especially the reckless Wang Chong, who had a keyword akin to "management" and had audaciously attempted to list a sect on the market right from the start, as if he had a death wish.
When over a month passed and Wang Chong's status changed to a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Sect, Fang Wenle couldn't help but laugh. With a management-related keyword, choosing a medical sect seemed like a no-brainer, and Fang Wenle wouldn't believe anyone who said Wang Chong's head hadn't been squeezed...
Fang Wenle was waiting for the day Wang Chong would crash and burn, considering him the weakest link in the top ten.
However, as three months passed and he was ready to embark on his Alien Star Battlefield journey, not only did Wang Chong's downfall not come, but Fang Wenle was shocked to hear of the listing of the Myriad Manifestations Guild in North Forest City, a move in line with the Seven Stars Sect.
Especially after learning about the listings in various places from the "Seven Stars Mountain Commercial Daily," which came with the establishment of the stock exchange, his mind went blank, his thoughts seemingly frozen.
What was happening?
Wang Chong, as a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Sect, not only didn't stop his ventures, but in three months, expanded his influence nationwide, even making the supervisory institution his partner, providing him with protection...
How did he do it?How could a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Sect sway such a powerful supervisory institution?
Doesn't the Medicine Immortal Sect care what their disciples do outside?
A barrage of questions flooded Fang Wenle's mind, unable to comprehend Wang Chong's tactics, which defied all logic and norms.
But when the number of Simulation Field Alien Star warriors, which hadn't changed for over two months, suddenly dropped by over a hundred in one month, Fang Wenle realized the danger. Cursing Wang Chong in his heart, he packed up his leisurely attitude and headed straight for the Happy Union Sect.
If he didn't strive now, his career on the Alien Star Battlefield might come to an end.
Top-tier!
He must advance to the top tier within half a year, no, within three months, take control of the Happy Union Sect, and then use it to gamble small for big, swallowing the Heavenly Demon Palace.
It was said that one of the four great protectors of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Lady Hong, was adept in dual cultivation. If he could get intimate with her, his strength would surely reach the Divine Transformation Realm!
Thinking of the goals he had to achieve within three months made Fang Wenle feel nauseous.
With the attributes brought by the keyword, his body was fine, but doing some things too much could indeed lead to psychological aversion.
Happy Union?
How did he randomly get such a lewd keyword...
...
Heaven's Path Institute.
After the supervisory institution's people left, Luo Cang became even more active in the Heaven's Path Institute, currying favor with senior brothers who had entered before him and had already reached Divine Transformation or Void Refinement, and helping junior brothers who had just joined by sorting out their cultivation techniques, mobilizing resources, and overcoming difficulties in cultivation...
He quickly became the social star of the Heaven's Path Institute.
Everyone who mentioned him had nothing but praise.
Amidst the acclaim, the Heaven's Path Institute was harmonious, everyone was proactive, and their faces were filled with happy and confident smiles.
Luo Cang, who had just been promoted from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, was exceptionally taken as a direct disciple by an Elder and even took charge of the Institute's Punishment Hall, further consolidating his power within the Heaven's Path Institute.
Using the power of the Punishment Hall, Luo Cang quietly dealt with several Alien Star warriors hidden among the outer disciples of the Heaven's Path Institute without arousing any suspicion...
With his attributes enhanced and a wealth of resources at his disposal, Luo Cang's personal strength soared to the peak of the Golden Elixir stage, qualifying him to walk the world.
When he descended the mountain with a group of protectors to investigate who leaked the list of men of chaos and tried to form a temporary alliance with the other top ten, the actions of the Seven Stars Sect reached his ears.
Seven Stars Sect, supervisory institution, Wang Chong...
A line instantly connected in his mind.
Wang Chong.
Everything was done by Wang Chong.
Without returning to the Heaven's Path Institute, Luo Cang led his protectors straight to the Jixia Academy, as Wang Chong's influence had apparently covered the entire Yan Country, and even the supervisory institution might be under his control.
Moreover.
Dan Cong's ranking had not dropped but had risen by two places.
This was enough to prove that the two had joined forces and likely came from the same planet.
If the rest didn't unite soon, they feared they would be defeated one by one...
Luo Cang understood that everything Wang Chong had done was like the moon in the mirror, a flower in the water.
Even without external interference, creating such an economic system in this unsuitable world meant that any mistake in one link could mean the collapse of his business empire.
And once the economy collapsed, Wang Chong would have nothing, not only would he suffer backlash, but Yan Country would no longer tolerate him...
Therefore.
Wang Chong would surely make a desperate move before the economic collapse, trying to eliminate as many people as possible, and those with known identities among the top ten were his primary targets...
Daring to wage a blitzkrieg on the Alien Star Battlefield.
Damn it, he's a madman!
Even if they kill this one, making the natives wary, the rest won't have an easy time!
On the way to Jixia Academy, Luo Cang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, the feeling of being forced into a vortex was too uncomfortable.
...
The Great Qing Country.
Princess Mo Yingjun, who had moved up one place in the rankings due to the prestige stirred up by the Women's College in the Great Qing Country, didn't hesitate to rise and gallop straight to the imperial palace after receiving information about the Seven Stars Sect from Yan Country.
Without regard, Mo Yingjun barged into the emperor's study and, to everyone's astonishment, flung the intelligence onto the emperor's desk: "Father, the Great Qing Country is in peril, I urge you to swiftly summon the head of the supervisory institution, to march on Yan Country and kill the Medicine Immortal Sect disciple Wang Chong..."
"Ying'er, stop this nonsense. Your father is discussing important matters with the Prime Minister. Leave at once," the emperor frowned, displeased with Mo Yingjun, "Guards, take the princess away..."
"In just three months, Yan Country's supervisory institution has amassed at least a billion taels of civilian wealth. The storm stirred by the Seven Stars Sect will soon sweep over the Great Qing Country. Once our people are entangled by the Seven Stars Sect, our civilian wealth will evaporate instantly. Then, the Great Qing Country will suffer..."
Held by two guards, Mo Yingjun stood her ground, "And all this is orchestrated by the Medicine Immortal Sect disciple Wang Chong. Eliminate him with the force of thunder, and Yan Country will crumble, allowing the Great Qing Country to seize the opportunity to annex Yan Country, a feat of great benefit to the nation and the people."
The emperor and the Prime Minister exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. The emperor waved the guards away, "Ying'er, where did you get this information? Why are you so certain that Wang Chong is the man behind it all?"
"..." Mo Yingjun was prepared, she smiled confidently, "My Women's College has a spy program. A month ago, hundreds of women disguised themselves and infiltrated Yan Country. This intelligence is what they sent back."
...
Bihai Palace.
Niu Zilian, who ranked eighth at the beginning of the month and had been acting low-key for the past two months, finally managed to drop to tenth. He was planning to go incognito, leave Bihai Palace, and completely hide himself in the vast sea of people, waiting for the right moment to rise again.
When he learned of Wang Chong's actions, the muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched violently, and he decisively turned and headed straight for the palace master's residence.
Wang Chong was clearly planning a blitzkrieg. Even if he dropped two more places and fell out of the top ten, if Wang Chong continued to sweep through the list, he would eventually have to fill in, becoming even more passive.
Damn it, what a mess!
He's insane!
Niu Zilian regretted not slapping himself twice. If he had known how crazy Wang Chong was, he would have done whatever it took to keep Bihai Palace under his control!
