Hearing Song Zhong's words, everyone in the hall took a breath of cold air, so quietly that you could hear a pin drop, as if the air had frozen.
You know, Song Zhong had just exchanged cups with everyone. Besides, how can an immortal say that he is incapable of drinking? You can force it out with magic power no matter how much you drink, and you won't get drunk at all. So Song Zhong clearly rejected the kindness of Lord Bingxue!
On someone else's territory, in front of several other great emperors and hundreds of subordinates at all levels, saying such things is not just a matter of not giving face, it is clearly a slap in someone else's face!
Anyway, after Lord Bingxue heard Song Zhong's words, his originally white face as crystal clear as jade instantly turned as red as a cooked crab.
It was so shameless that the True Monarch Bingxue became angry and said viciously: "Nephew Song Zhongxian, your drinking capacity is obviously not small? I think there is no problem in having another drink, what do you think?" His last few words were completely unreasonable. Just say it through gritted teeth. Apparently he was giving Song Zhong an ultimatum.
Song Zhong was naturally not afraid of him, and sneered directly: "I said no, I just can't!"
After saying that, Song Zhong stood up without hesitation and said proudly: "That's it for today. I have something to do with a certain family, so I'll say goodbye!" After saying that, Song Zhong bowed to the people around him, and then led many of his men. He left without looking back, which clearly meant breaking up!
Seeing Song Zhong being so arrogant, True Monarch Bingxue was so angry that he almost went crazy. His palms trembled several times in succession, but in the end he did not take action. If someone else, even the emperors here, dared to deny him face like this, the old guy would definitely have taken action long ago.
But he was really worried about Song Zhong. Not only because of the Chaos Giant Spirit Clan behind him, but also because of Song Zhong's huge influence in the Emperor of Heaven lineage. You know, Song Zhong is not only the Jade Emperor's favorite, but also the beloved general of Huode Xingjun. The preference can be seen from the fact that Mr. Huo Dexing rewarded him generously several times.
If True Monarch Bingxue dared to bully Song Zhong while he was injured, one can imagine how the people from the Jade Emperor's line would deal with him. After all, Lord Huodexing is the immediate boss of True Lord Bingxue, how can he dare to offend him in the slightest
At this time, True Lord Bingxue felt extremely regretful. He really shouldn't have forced Song Zhong by virtue of his status.
And the people around him also saw at this time that there must be a deep hatred between Song Zhong and that crazy Han. However, True Lord Bingxue tried to force Song Zhong to give up this grudge by virtue of his own identity. Is this obviously relying on his old age and betraying him? If it were another Golden Immortal, I'm afraid he would really be suppressed by True Lord Ice and Snow, but Song Zhong, as long as he has strength and power, is not afraid of him at all.
Song Zhong started to respect him, which was to give him face, but this old guy thought that he was easy to bully, so he was kicked on the iron plate all of a sudden. This can only be said to be deserved!
If the banquet foresees such a thing, how can it continue? Everyone reluctantly drank a few more drinks and hurriedly said goodbye and left. No one wanted to face an angry True Lord Ice and Snow at this time!
It was a nice gathering of the Five Sacred Emperors, but it turned into a feuding meeting because of True Monarch Bingxue's confusion. I am afraid that from now on, Song Zhong and True Monarch Bingxue will be at odds with each other. There are only two results, either Song Zhong kills Madman Han and takes revenge, in which case True Monarch Bingxue will suffer great loss of face, or Song Zhong is powerless and can only act in a hurry. Anyway, no matter what, these two people have formed a big feud!
…
After leaving the territory of True Monarch Ice and Snow, Huang Jixiang asked curiously: "Boss, what's the big grudge between that woman and you? To make you lose the face of True Monarch Ice and Snow?"
"Hmph, talking about it, it can make me angry to death!" Song Zhong said bitterly: "That's what happened!"
Song Zhong then told Huang Jixiang everything about how Madman Han deceived him, how he set up a trap, and trapped him to death.
Then Song Zhong said bitterly: "These bastards are going to any lengths to kill me. Nearly tens of millions of innocent mortals are used by them as tools to frame me. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been killed long ago." Turned into a pile of ashes! This madman Han treated me like this, how can I spare her?"
"You're right!" Huang Jixiang said angrily: "I've never seen such a shameless thing. Brother, how about I find an opportunity to sneak in here and kill her!"
"No!" Song Zhong said hurriedly: "In that case, it would be like completely falling out with True Monarch Bingxue!"
"If you fall out, you'll fall out. Who's afraid of this old and shameless guy?" Huang Jixiang said nonchalantly.
"No, no, no!" Song Zhong immediately shook his head and said: "Brother, we are not afraid of True Lord Bingxue, but the problem is that after all, his identity is the Great Emperor Zhongyue, and his subordinates are all people from Heaven. If we kill him for no reason If he is a disciple, then he is an enemy of Heaven. When the time comes, even if he sues us, Heaven will not forgive us!"
"Why is it for no reason?" Huang Jixiang asked in confusion, "Brother, don't you have a deep hatred for her?"
"Those are the hatreds forged in the mortal world. According to the rules of heaven, after ascending, all earthly ties are broken, and the past is past. No one is allowed to pursue personal grudges!" Song Zhong said helplessly: "So, if I don't have a legitimate reason, I still There’s really nothing I can do against that lunatic, unless I want to rebel!”
"Rebellion? Isn't this too dangerous?" Huang Jixiang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Yeah, it's too dangerous, so now I can only hold back for the time being and wait for the opportunity!" Song Zhong sneered: "I'm not in a hurry anyway, Crazy Han won't die for a while, as long as he knows that she is with True Lord Bingxue, Then everything will be easy to handle, and I will have my revenge one day!"
"Since the eldest brother is confident, I will leave the little brother alone. I wish the eldest brother will take revenge as soon as possible!" Huang Jixiang said as a courtesy.
"Haha, don't worry, after I recover from my injury, I will have fun with this Ice and Snow Lord!" Song Zhong said with a sneer.
Next, without saying anything all the way, Song Zhong and Huang Jixiang returned to Chentangguan safely and started their lives again.
…
The so-called time is like lightning and time is like a shuttle. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years passed.
In the mortal world, a hundred years is a very long time, but in the fairy world, it is nothing.
In these hundred years, Song Zhong's Chentang Pass developed rapidly. With the indestructible Wanli city defense, the demon tribe made several raids, but all ended in failure. Apart from throwing down a large number of corpses, they did not even touch the edge of the city wall.
Under this situation, Chentang Pass has become the safest place in the Four Seas Dragon Realm. Coupled with Song Zhong's massive amounts of materials and the exchange of the Divine Thunder Flying Boat, this place has become the most lively place in the Four Seas Dragon World. Not only has the population more than tripled, but its prosperity has also surpassed Lord Ice and Snow's Ice and Snow City for the first time, becoming the first in the Four Seas Dragon Realm.
Today's Chentangguan is really different from what it used to be. High-end buildings have been built in the city one after another. All the previous Divine Thunder Towers have been demolished and are no longer needed. In order to accommodate more immortals, Chentangguan even had to be expanded several times, and the area was more than twice as large as before.
The area is larger, there are more people, trade has been strengthened, and the taxes collected have also increased significantly, many times what they were before. Now Song Zhong no longer needs to invest. He can make money every day just by sitting at home all day long!
Of course, the tax revenue from various places in Chentangguan was not all of Song Zhong's income, in fact it was only a relatively small part of it. Song Zhong's biggest profit lies in the output of his natal space and the sales of the divine thunder flying boat.
After a hundred years of growth, Song Zhong's natal space expanded tenfold, reaching a radius of one million miles, almost as big as Chen Tangguan. The immortal energy inside was extremely rich, forming layers of mist.
If the excess spiritual energy hadn't been absorbed by the sun, moon and stars in the sky, a large amount of fairy jade would have been produced. However, compared to the loss of Xianyu, Song Zhong valued the growth of Sun, Moon and Star more.
After absorbing the immortal energy for a hundred years, the sun, moon and stars in the natal space have been greatly improved. The diameter of the sun has changed from a few thousand feet to a hundred thousand feet in diameter, and the true sun fire above has also become pure and sticky.
The ancient hibiscus tree in the sun seemed to be glowing with the new year and growing extremely vigorously. The tens of thousands of golden crows on it came to life and flew around in space excitedly all day long. They almost got into trouble several times, forcing Song Zhong to limit Only after limiting their range of activities can they be considered to be somewhat restrained.
As for the moon and stars in the natal space, they have also become larger, and the moonlight and star power they emit have become more pure and powerful. Although they are not too strong now, Song Zhong estimates that if this continues, within a thousand years at most, they will be able to collect their moonlight and star power to refine special magic weapons.
In addition to these, what Song Zhong values most is the magical black land. It is now tens of thousands of feet in diameter. Its decomposition efficiency has doubled, and it can swallow up more than a dozen mountains of garbage from the Eastern Emperor Realm almost every day. This created huge value for Song Zhong.
Now, Song Zhong's excess materials are sold directly to Zhu Rongtian. Lord Huodexing has reached an agreement with Song Zhong. Huo Dexingjun promised not to ask about the origin of Song Zhong's materials, and was willing to use a relatively high contribution to purchase Song Zhong's materials. Of course, in this case, Song Zhong would suffer a little bit.
However, in order to compensate Song Zhong, Lord Huodexing gave Song Zhong an additional privilege. That is, after satisfying Zhu Rongtian's contract, Song Zhong can sell materials privately at will. Zhu Rongtian turned a blind eye to this, and no matter who reported it, they would ignore it. This is tantamount to letting Song Zhongming smuggle blatantly!
With this death-free gold medal, Song Zhong relied on his strong strength to become the largest material dealer in the fairy world. Although due to Zhu Rongtian's needs, he could only sell some mid-level materials that were not in short supply at most, and already had a large amount of low-level materials. But under the control of Heavenly Court, Song Zhong's goods have become the most powerful things.
Many people buy goods from Song Zhong and then sell them to other places, and they can make a lot of money! This is one of the reasons why Chentangguan in Song Zhong became so prosperous.
As Song Zhong's allies, several other great emperors in the Four Seas Dragon Realm also took advantage of it. At least they bought a lot of materials and divine thunder flying boats at a fair price, and resold some, which was better than the subsidies given by Heavenly Court. More!
Of course, this definitely does not include True Lord Bingxue. Song Zhong and him had broken up a long time ago, so of course it was impossible to sell him anything. Song Zhong even secretly issued a trade blockade order, strictly prohibiting anyone from trafficking Song Zhong's goods to the territory of True Monarch Ice and Snow.
Because Song Zhong was too strong and the goods in his hands were all unique, no one of the immortals below dared to disobey his orders. Because they all know that once they offend Song Zhong, they will no longer be able to get the goods. If they can't get the goods, it means they will lose their money, right
Under such circumstances, naturally no one would blatantly disobey Song Zhong's orders. However, there are still people making deals secretly, as long as they are not caught by Song Zhong anyway.
Unfortunately, these guys obviously underestimated Song Zhong's hatred for True Monarch Bingxue and Crazy Han. He secretly deployed manpower to capture a group of people, and then arrested and beheaded dozens of participating immortals on charges of smuggling, and severely punished the forces behind these people.
At this moment, everyone was stunned. Since then, almost no one dared to disobey Song Zhong's order. Anyway, everyone will make money by selling to it, so why bother with yourself
But speaking of it, it is really funny that Song Zhong, the largest smuggler in the fairy world, openly executed prisoners in the name of smuggling! However, this is the fairy world, a place where strength is the key to everything. If Song Zhong has this strength, he can do this, and everyone else thinks there is nothing wrong with it.
In response to this, True Lord Ice and Snow was naturally very angry. But there was nothing he could do. He couldn't lead his subordinates to kill Chentangguan, right? Whether he can survive the beating or not is the next best thing. If he is accused of rebellion, he will go to the Immortal Execution Platform!
Soon, the other three general soldiers all recognized Xing Xing and unanimously chose to support Song Zhong. After all, their interests depend on the support of Song Zhong, not True Monarch Ice and Snow. If they continue to be idlers, if Song Zhong turns against him and runs out of goods, they will suffer heavy losses.
After receiving the support of the three generals, Song Zhong simply united everyone and completely blocked the territory of True Monarch Bingxue. He even skipped the regular meeting held once every ten years and went to Chentangguan to meet. This is tantamount to completely isolating the nominal boss, True Monarch Ice and Snow! This made True Monarch Bingxue feel extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't do anything about it! To be honest, he now regrets having offended Song Zhong in the first place. It's a pity that he didn't turn back when he fired his bow. Now, he has no choice but to hold on!
