Chapter 159.1: News of the Moonlight Kingdom, The Mysterious High Priestess
Although Qi Yuan hadn’t fully reclaimed his status as the Heavenly Dao of Moonwatch Continent, his words already carried the force of law. The moment he spoke, the seven representatives voided their agreements one after another. Thrown into shock, the prodigies’ expressions changed dramatically.
The first to lash out at Qi Yuan was, once again, Ling Jiao. "How dare you! You used illusion arts to bewitch the natives and force them to annul the agreements, didn't you?!"
The prodigies all turned to Qi Yuan, their expressions dark and hostile. After all, securing a foothold on Moonwatch Continent was a plan devised by their backing sects to mitigate the approaching calamity. Qi Yuan had just threatened their interests. He had the gall to stand against nearly twenty major powers!
"You are going too far! With the great calamity approaching, we should be working together. How can you monopolize everything?!” roared a prodigy.
"Monopolize?" Lord Great Wisdom couldn't help but interject. "Isn't Moonwatch Continent his home?”
"Moonwatch Continent is my home. I rent to whoever I want," Qi Yuan said helplessly. "Didn't I ask if any of you wanted to rent just now? Nobody did, hence the agreements are void. Isn't that natural? Besides, no contracts were signed, there is no legal validity. Even if you sued me in court, I'd still win."
The prodigies were utterly bewildered. They understood each word individually, but strung together, they barely grasped the meaning. Still, one thing was clear: Qi Yuan wanted to seize Moonwatch Continent outright.
"Are you truly prepared to provoke so many of us?" Ling Jiao asked coldly.
The others also stared at Qi Yuan with unfriendly gazes.
"Justice. Reason," Qi Yuan declared solemnly. "This is A***rica, if you break in, I'm allowed to shoot you dead!"
He used A***rica to try and intimidate them.
Ling Jiao snorted, exuding a powerful aura, seemingly ready to pounce. "Hmph. I'd like to see what you're capable of!"
