Chapter 2487 The Victory of 9 You
Chapter 2487 The Victory of Jiuyou
To be praised by the Nine Nether Emperor, one of the three great emperors of our time, is an immense honor.
Furthermore, since the Nine Nether Emperor praised him like that, Lingshan would definitely record it and reward him according to his merits when they returned.
The competition within Mount Ling was also fierce. With just a word from the Nine Nether Emperor, they were able to confirm their merits. How could everyone not be happy?
Sihai Zhenren was certainly pleased, but they had their own reasons for staying until the end.
Before he could speak, He Lingchuan handed him a list, expressing his willingness to help.
In the Battle of Jade Capital, Mount Ling exerted great effort but also suffered considerable losses. After the battle, in recognition of merit, Mount Ling should receive a share of the spoils.
This list was contained in a jade slip. When Master Sihai probed into it with his divine sense, he was shocked.
A dazzling array of goods, truly a dazzling array!
Master Sihai smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face smoothed out, but he waved his hand and said, "That's too much! In this great battle, it was still Your Majesty who personally killed Shangguan Biao."
When it comes to dividing the spoils, no, dividing the spoils of war, it's all about merit. Whoever put in the most effort and played the biggest role naturally gets the lion's share.
The Soul-Capturing Mirror couldn't stand it any longer and muttered, "Pretentious, sigh!"
He Lingchuan's smile became even warmer:
"To be honest, without the strong cooperation of Lingshan, how could we possibly make Shangguan Biao lose his composure?"
Their team was indeed capable, but they were also outnumbered. Faced with the vast city of Yujing, they couldn't find a starting point at first.
As for Shangguan Biao's treasure, the Earth Mother hasn't finished inventorying it yet. What has been unearthed so far is just the tip of the iceberg.
Master Sihai declined, but He Lingchuan insisted.
After three rounds of persuasion and refusals, Sihai Zhenren reluctantly accepted Cang Yan's offer.
His mood was naturally very good. Lingshan's attack on Shangguan Biao this time was originally aimed at establishing its authority and recovering its losses. It only wanted to teach the Earth Mother a lesson and did not expect to really destroy it. After all, for so many years, Yujing City had been known as a den of dragons and tigers, and no one who came would return alive.
However, Sihai Zhen's team was remarkably effective this time, not only uncovering the true face of the "Earth Mother," but also killing the mastermind behind it all. Regardless of who killed Shangguan Biao, Sihai Zhen and his team had already exceeded the tasks assigned to them by their superiors, so the next step was for them to claim the spoils as the victors.
As for the Great Square Pot, given the current situation, Master Sihai didn't even mention it. This divine artifact, though excellent, had nothing to do with him or Mount Ling.
Master Sihai weighed the matter of the spoils for a long time, because within Mount Ling, Cang Yan and Emperor Jiuyou were known for their domineering nature. Now that Jade Capital City belonged to Jiuyou, he had completely seized control. If he were to hoard all the spoils like Shangguan Biao, Master Sihai would be powerless to stop him.
Unexpectedly, the Nine Nether Emperor is so generous. Isn't that a win-win situation?
The Lingshan Sect gave Sihai Zhenren two objectives: first, to teach the Earth Mother a lesson and establish her authority; and second, to recover the losses. Have these objectives been achieved?
We've exceeded our targets!
What else is there to say?
On this trip back to Lingshan, Master Sihai and his companions not only made meritorious contributions but also brought back a massive amount of spoils, which will surely earn them great rewards from Lingshan.
Perfect, absolutely perfect!
Taking this opportunity, He Lingchuan also proposed that more immortals from Lingshan should take up positions in Cangyan.
It's not about receiving offerings, but about taking up a post.
Master Sihai nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely pass on the message when he returned, and that based on his experience, this matter would not be difficult at all.
At the end of the meeting, not only was Master Sihai all smiles, but He Lingchuan was also beaming with joy.
The list allocated to Master Sihai not only included the spoils of war from the Battle of Yujing City that were distributed to Lingshan, but also the compensation Lingshan was entitled to for its personnel losses—more than two hundred people were killed or wounded during Lingshan's attack on Yujing City. Therefore, a portion of this money was for compensation. Cang Yan allocated it to Lingshan, and Lingshan would then distribute it further.
Furthermore, He Lingchuan, seizing the opportunity, could also recruit people in Lingshan.
If he were stingy, Lingshan wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
In contrast, how much did He Lingchuan gain in the Battle of Yujing City?
This thwarted the Heavenly Demon's plan to seize the "Yangguan Path" and accelerate the creation of the divine body;
It shattered the Heavenly Demon's delusional desire to seize the Great Square Pot and prevented the Spirit Void Saint Venerable from directly descending into the heavens;
Rebuild the connection between the new Panlong Secret Realm and the Dafanghu, so that all forces will give up on the Dafanghu.
At the same time, he also signed a contract with the Earth Mother, effectively becoming the new master of Jade Capital City. As a result, most of Shangguan Biao's estate naturally belonged to him and Cang Yan.
At the same time, the Panlong Ruins also became linked with the Earth Mother, becoming a wandering ancient city, no longer confined to the Panlong Wasteland. If He Lingchuan so desires, the Earth Mother could even carry it to Cangyan!
Only He Lingchuan himself knew the complexity of his feelings for this ancient city. From now on, he would no longer be separated from it by thousands of miles and powerless to do anything about it.
In the Battle of Yujing City, He Lingchuan's victory was comprehensive and multi-dimensional.
In comparison, what is the list given to Lingshan?
Money was the least noteworthy gain He Lingchuan had made in this great battle.
Neither he nor Cang Yan became powerful simply through wealth; therefore, money was merely a means to an end, not an end in itself.
After the meeting, He Lingchuan privately pulled Ming Ke Xianren aside, smiling warmly at her:
"Brother Mingke, what do you think of this adventure of infiltrating Yujing City?"
Immortal Mingke, unaware of his intentions, truthfully replied, "Exciting."
"I heard Venerable Mingyao say that you have been traveling the world all this time, but have not registered your residence in the Mu Kingdom or any other country?"
Immortals roam freely between heaven and earth, able to go anywhere. However, if they want to take up a government post, they need a legal and formal identity, which is jokingly referred to in the immortal realm as "registering a household," which means settling down in the mortal world.
Immortal Mingke understood the implied meaning of the song immediately, though he hesitated for a moment.
The state of Mu had long intended to recruit him, but Immortal Mingke was used to a life of leisure and liked to travel all over the country. He would also visit some historical sites when he had nothing to do, so he had never settled down, unlike Venerable Mingyao who had already become an official in the state of Mu.
If it were someone else inviting him, Immortal Mingke would definitely decline; but since it is the Nine Nether Emperor who has spoken, Immortal Mingke has to think it over carefully.
When the Nine Nether Emperor first arrived at Baiyuan Station and joined the battle discussions at Lingshan, he used the identity of a general that no one had ever heard of, which the people of Lingshan did not take seriously.
What kind of status and temperament does an immortal have? At most, he would give Cang Yan some face, so why would he listen to the words of an unknown nobody?
How did Kehe Lingchuan manage to get his opinions adopted and even gradually gain the upper hand in subsequent actions?
He never revealed his identity, and it was Shangguan Biao who eventually exposed him.
Immortal Mingke has been pondering this question ever since the battle ended, and the more he thinks about it, the more interesting it becomes.
