Chapter 2138: Wuxia Heavenly Monarch’s Chambers
These people are not lacking in highly sensitive information. Moreover, even those with less powerful channels can easily find out that Zu Ming and Chunyu Qing compensated the Ying Family with over thirty billion Black Crystal Stones, which, to be exact, was a tribute to Jing Yan.
In these people’s view, after Jing Yan took thirty billion Black Crystal Stones, it’s certainly impossible for him to give a portion to the Ying Family. If the Ying Family wants to take even ten percent of the resources, that would be a mere dream.
"Once the meat is in your mouth, how could you possibly give it back?"
"Could it be that Lord Ying Zhu dares to say more? If he angers Jing Yan, it wouldn’t take much effort to destroy Divine Martial City, right?"
Some strange remarks circulated in small circles.
The battle at Divine Martial City catapulted Jing Yan’s reputation to unimaginable heights within the Blue Rain Divine Continent. Initially, many strong forces within the Blue Rain Divine Continent’s territories were envious of the Ying Family’s luck. But when they tried to visit Jing Yan in Divine Martial City and were refused, their initial envy quickly turned into jealousy, leading to deep dissatisfaction with Jing Yan.
The human heart is often this way.
Idle whispers swiftly reached Divine Martial City, falling upon the ears of Lord Ying Zhu. Upon hearing these voices, Lord Ying Zhu was naturally enraged. He immediately had Mr. Ju Yu spread the word that the Ying Family received as many as fifteen billion Black Crystal Stones from Mr. Jing Yan.
When this news spread, the atmosphere within the Blue Rain Divine Continent changed immediately, followed by even more rampant voices. Most didn’t believe Lord Ying Zhu’s statement. They thought that the reason he claimed the Ying Family got fifteen billion Black Crystal Stones was because he feared offending Jing Yan. To them, it was like lying to a child. Would Jing Yan really give half of the resources to the Ying Family? Ridiculous!
Lord Ying Zhu anticipated that many wouldn’t believe it, so he simultaneously began purchasing Immortal Rhythm Treasures and spells of Immortal Rhythm level through various channels. Moreover, he made generous purchases of various precious materials, even those that were not immediately necessary, as long as they might be used in the future.
