Chapter 222.1
Everyone looked over to see an old man dressed in a black robe.
His complexion was dark, but his beard and hair were all white, his cheeks gaunt, his eyes narrowhes someone not to be trifled with.
Another exclamation arose: Thats the Grandmaster from the Great Dong Empire! Its Ling Rushan!
Seeing some puzzled faces, he immediately explained: Ling Rushan is a revered figure from the Great Dong Empire, now over 120 years old and having cultivated to the Grandmaster level for over 40 years! He is also a strong figure among Grandmasters!
The third Grandmaster has arrived! Everyone was shocked while looking up.
It was rare to see even one Grandmaster on a normal day, but today, they were fortunateor unfortunateto see three.
It is a fortunate event but also an unfortunate one.
If these three Grandmasters were to fight, these small fries would also suffer the consequences.
At this moment, the two Grandmasters, Yin Jiuhuang and Ling Rushan were positioning themselves in a pincer formation around the Sword Elder, trying to force him to comply.
The Sword Elders expression was very serious.
With the divine sword in hand, he was more than capable of dealing with one Grandmaster.
But against two Grandmasters, it would be difficult. He could only just manage to protect himself.
Even so, he was not afraid.
This is Great Xia, and no one is allowed to run wild here! the Sword Elder pointed his sword at the two people, his voice ringing out firmly.
At that moment, a hearty laugh echoed from afar.
Thats right! No matter who comes, no one can run wild in Great Xia!
As the voice faded, a man dressed like an old farmer from a mountain village appeared before the crowd, holding a simple and unadorned blade.
Despite looking very plain, the blade seemed extremely sharp, sending a chill through anyone who glanced at it.
Thats Great Xias second Grandmaster, Han Daosheng! Hes best known for his saber skills, and people in the rivers and lakes call him the Invincible Saber God! someone well-informed recognized him and revealed his identity.
The fourth Grandmaster has arrived! Everyone was stunned.
They couldnt help but wonder
Could this really be the tomb of Heavenly Khan?
Why else would it attract four Grandmasters?
Fellow Daoist, what brings you here? Sword Elder greeted with a smile.
I was planning to return to the capital city to visit my daughter, but when I heard about this, I decided to stop by and take a look! Lets join forces to repel the enemy first, and then we can talk, Han Daosheng said.
Agreed! Sword Elder nodded.
Now it was 2v2, and the situation had changed again.
Yin Jiuhuang and Ling Rushan exchanged glances, their expressions growing serious.
Originally, the two of them together could bully the Sword Elder, who wields the divine sword.
Sword Elder let out a cold laugh, On what grounds? The grounds of the sword in this old mans hand!
With that, he swung his sword, creating a trench a hundred zhang long, two zhang wide, and five zhang deep right in front of everyone.
After that, no one had any objections.
Even the two Grandmasters Yin Jiuhuang and Ling Rushan went quiet. They dont want to fall out with Sword Elder over 100 taels of silver.
So, everyone obediently paid up and lined up to enter the mountain.
In total, 300,000 people came here, each martial artist paying 100 taels of silver, adding up to a whopping 30 million taels of silver from all the treasure hunters combined!
Yin Jiuhuang and Ling Rushans eyelids twitched at the sight.
In less than half a day, Great Xia had earned 30 million taels of silver. Theyre so damn good at making money!
30 million taels of silver was equivalent to the annual revenue of a national treasury for an ordinary dynasty!
For Grandmasters like them, it was no small sum either!
Oh, the regret they felt
If only they had opposed it earlier!
Watching others make money was even more painful than losing money themselves!
Ling Rushan managed a strained smile and said, You Great Xia really knows how to make money!
Its not easy.
Sword Elder responded indifferently. After all, this is the territory of Great Xia. Every inch of land here is invaluable and sacred, not to be violated! In case you start fighting, we can use this money to compensate for the losses!
The faces of the two Grandmasters twitched.
It was just a bare mountain. What loss could there be if it was destroyed?
At this moment, Sword Elder called out to the treasure hunters, Pay attention, this is Wanshou Mountain, and it is also the territory of our Great Xia! Since youve come here, you must follow the rules of Great Xia. Dont stir up trouble, dont draw your weapons, and keep to your own business! Otherwise, this old man will not be polite!
The treasure hunters replied in fear, We wouldnt dare
Sword Elder waved his hand, Alright, you may now enter the mountain!
The army made way, and the treasure hunters quickly streamed in, eagerly reaching the cave entrance, impatient to go in and search for treasure.
But at that moment, they saw a few people stumbling out of the cave.
The treasure hunters were immediately excited.
