Chapter 98: The Empty Handed Wolf
However, Huang Wenjie, Huang Xiong, and Huang Shaohua were already in a state of shock, with Huang Wenjie's eyes shining brightly.
His ability to endure was indeed remarkable, yet he had never imagined that he could achieve the status of Monarch. After all, there were many people in the world who were more gifted than him, but those who could break through to Monarch were few and far between.
But now, especially with Lian Yun, who possessed spiritual cultivation not superior to his yet held the title of Cloud Emperor as Young Master Yun, he suddenly felt a surge of confidence.
Huang Xiong suddenly patted Huang Wenjie on the shoulder, his expression and tone extremely sincere as he said, "Wen Jie, Young Master Yun is right. A king cannot even flatter a Monarch; no matter how impressive a king may be, there are limits. But a Monarch is different; once they shine, they are remembered throughout history. We might as well give it a try. Even if we end up shattered, we will support you."
"Yes, brother! Our vision has been too narrow. Let's take Young Master Yun's advice and aim for Monarch. I also want to aim for Monarch; even if I can't astonish the world, as long as I can become an emperor, I will have no regrets in death."
Huang Wenjie turned to look at Huang Shaohua in surprise, while Huang Shaohua nodded affirmatively.
"Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Yun!" Huang Wenjie smiled broadly and cupped his hands in respect towards Lian Yun.
Huang Xiong and Huang Shaohua hurriedly bowed in gratitude as well: "Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Yun!"
Clearly, the bond among Huang Wenjie, Huang Xiong, and Huang Shaohua was deep-rooted and unshakeable.
Lian Yun naturally felt very pleased about this.
However, before Lian Yun could speak, Zhou Tong interjected: "You can keep three plants, but after you seize the Spiritwood around Fengdu, you must give us forty plants and forty Spirit Cores! You can hand them directly to your Liu Lao; he will pass them on to us."
Huang Xiong and Huang Shaohua were furious again, but more than that, they shared the same confusion as Huang Wenjie.
Lian Yun helplessly replied: "I don't want Zhou Tong and Sister Murong's talents to go to waste within Fengdu; that's why I plan to take them under my wing. However, I don't wish to interfere with what kind of influence they want to establish. As long as they don't engage in harmful activities, that's enough for me."
"Indeed, it really fits Young Master Yun's character!" Huang Wenjie said, both amused and exasperated. He then shook his head and suddenly asked, "Young Master Yun actually came to Fengdu. With your personality, you wouldn't be seeking a Blood Spirit Fruit for Young Master Lin, would you? Do you need our help?"
Lian Yun shook his head. "Fengdu is experiencing some unusual changes at the moment. I can't risk your lives on a whim."
The three of them immediately bowed to Lian Yun, speechless, their gratitude too profound for words.
Lian Yun slightly shook his head, not particularly concerned.
The main reason this transaction could take place was that the other party valued his status and reputation.
After all, it seemed that Zhou Tong was at a disadvantage on the surface; however, in reality, Zhou Tong was gaining something tangible, while Huang Wenjie and the others were merely receiving some information.
Even though they were powerful and obtaining information was almost equivalent to acquiring Spiritwood, they still needed to fight for it. Any unexpected incidents could lead to casualties. In fact, it was Huang Wenjie’s side that was at a disadvantage.
However, upon hearing Lian Yun's protective words towards them, Huang Wenjie’s group no longer held any grudges against Zhou Tong. The three of them took off their backpacks, but Huang Wenjie suddenly put his backpack back on and looked at Zhou Tong. "Do you want us to help you carry it over to Liu Lao?"
Zhou Tong was somewhat surprised but nodded before shaking his head. "Let's take a look first."
Huang Wenjie didn't mind whether Zhou Tong's request was a form of precaution; he immediately took off his backpack and began to pull out the Spiritwood one by one.
Huang Xiong and Huang Shaojie did the same.
Zhou Tong had no reservations either; he crouched down to examine each piece of Spiritwood, occasionally selecting one to hold in his hand.
Once Huang Wenjie and the others had taken out all the Spiritwood, Zhou Tong chose five pieces before saying, "Put everything away!"
He then stood up, returned to Lian Yun's side, handed three pieces of Spiritwood to him, and looked at Murong Ying. "Miss Murong, please let your esteemed guests in!"
Murong Ying smiled lightly, turned, and walked out of the tent, soon bringing in Meng Zhigui and Azure Flower.
Zhou Tong handed over the Spiritwood, saying, "Take it now."
After distributing the Spiritwood, Zhou Tong walked over to Huang Wenjie, unfolded a map, and said, "Although the majority of the Evil Spirits in the Spiritwood areas will change after the Evil Spirit Tide, I will still share what I know with you."
"Thank you!" Huang Wenjie cupped his hands in gratitude.
Even though some Evil Spirits would change after the Evil Spirit Tide, many locations would likely retain their original types of Evil Spirits.
For instance, certain Spiritwood areas were only suitable for specific types of Evil Spirits. Thus, even if one or several Evil Spirits were replaced in those areas, the overall type of Evil Spirit should not change significantly.
This information was valuable for Huang Wenjie’s team as it allowed them to prepare and take precautions in advance.
With that, Zhou Tong pointed out and explained each location one by one.
After finishing with the West District, Northern District, and East District, Zhou Tong frowned slightly and then looked at Huang Wenjie. "There are still some Spiritwood locations within Fengdu, but I can't guarantee all their exact positions!"
"Mr. Zhou, how much of a share do you want?"
Zhou Tong frowned slightly. The saying goes that one should not strike a smiling face; Huang Wenjie's tactfulness made it difficult for Zhou Tong to express his anger.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty percent of what you harvest!"
Huang Xiong and Huang Shaohua exchanged glances and rolled their eyes in response.
This person is truly ruthless!
To understand the situation, the Evil Spirits within Fengdu are inherently stronger, and under normal circumstances, Zhou Tong's team would not venture into the depths of Fengdu.
This was not merely a case of using cunning tactics; it was a ruthless strategy. If it weren't for Lian Yun's subordinates, the two would have long since mocked them.
However, Huang Wenjie seemed unconcerned. He remarked, "There are some places I wouldn't dare to intrude upon. I can only do my best. If in the future we find ourselves lacking in numbers, I hope Mr. Zhou won't hold it against me."
Zhou Tong likely had no idea about their gains, so if Huang Wenjie allocated less to him, he might suspect that Huang Wenjie was deliberately withholding resources.
Yet, what could Zhou Tong do? He could only trust Lian Yun's standing in Huang Wenjie's eyes, which allowed Huang Wenjie to be credible. Thus, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Huang Wenjie smiled slightly and suddenly pointed towards the edge of Fengdu, indicating the Southern District. "I believe with Mr. Zhou's capabilities, you must be aware of the distribution of Spiritwood in this area."
Zhou Tong nodded but then gestured towards Lian Yun.
Huang Wenjie immediately understood; Zhou Tong meant that the Southern District was a playground reserved for Lian Yun alone.
Even though they might miss out on nearly a hundred Spiritwood coordinates, knowing that they would be acquired by Lian Yun made Huang Wenjie feel less regretful.
