Actually, on the day of the opening ceremony incident caused by Zou Ba, one of the Great Heroes of Pinglu Island, Ye Zhen suspected this old ancestor of the Seven Surnad Clan of Dulong Island.
Ye Zhen hadn’t been on Dulong Island for long, and the surrounding Three Great Water Palaces were all his own people. The only one he had grievances with was the Seven Surnad Clan of Dulong Island.
However, at that ti, Ye Zhen wasn’t certain, just suspicious.
But the next day after the incident, Ye Zhen ordered the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter and the Ghost Scout transferred to Dulong Island to fully investigate all the intelligence related to the Ten Heroes of Pinglu.
The Ten Heroes of Pinglu were a group of vicious and powerful scoundrels who banded together for robbery and murder. Their thods were unsavory, but they were very skilled when it ca to wealth.
The Ten Heroes of Pinglu used the sa thod to acquire shares ranging from half to several percent in the ruins markets within the two million mile radius around Pinglu Island, reaping countless dividends annually.
Based on the intelligence he obtained, Ye Zhen studied their thods of operation. Basically, in these matters of demanding shares, it was only the Ten Heroes acting entirely, using strength to force the other party to offer shares in the dividends. Moreover, they did it quite discreetly and covertly.
They never dealt with any family like they did with the Ruins Market of Dulong Island.
So when Zou Ba brazenly demanded shares, it was no longer about seizing benefits but about burying or stillborn the Ruins Market of Dulong Island.
With no old grudges or resentnt, Zou Ba’s actions were indeed questionable, and more than likely, there was sothing hidden behind the scenes.
Following this deduction, Ye Zhen was almost certain that it was the Seven Surnad Clan of Dulong Island stirring up trouble, and the only one eligible to deal with Zou Ba of the Ten Heroes of Pinglu was indeed the old ancestor of the Seven Surnad Clan of Dulong Island.
This was only Ye Zhen’s deduction, without evidence, but it was enough.
Looking at the ashen-faced old ancestor of the Chu Family, Chu Zhao, Ye Zhen was filled with excitent.
The first Realm King Realm existence.
This Chu Zhao before him was the first Realm King Realm existence whose Divine Soul he had captured. Fengg Jiumo also counted, but when Fengg Jiumo was captured, he only had cultivation at the peak of the Ninth Stage of the Dark Palace Realm.
Ye Zhen found it ironic that just a mont ago, this old ancestor of the Seven Surnad Clan of Dulong Island, Chu Zhao, was scolding Chu Shengting and others for having no blood, for not standing up for the clan mbers.
In fact, Ye Zhen felt that the clan leader and elders of the Seven Surnad Clan of Dulong Island all had the sa disposition; perhaps they were used to enjoynt. The truth was, this old ancestor of the Seven Surnad Clan before him was actually a coward.
A堂堂 Fourth Stage Realm King Realm cultivator, thoroughly cowed when his aura was locked by Ye Zhen’s Demon Marshal’s avatar and Fengg Jiumo, the Heavenly Patrol Divine General.
Of course, backing down was the wisest choice. Under the aura lock of Fengg Jiumo and the Demon Marshal avatar, Chu Zhao really had no chance of a coback.
Even if he had one or two powerful Divine Skills for escaping, unless it was the kind that ensured great survival chances, there was no possibility of survival.
"Free the Divine Soul, from now on, you will follow Liao Feibai and guard Dulong Island. I guarantee, once you submit to , the cultivation resources you will receive will be several tis more than what you got as this worthless old ancestor.
As for the Seven Surnad Clan of Dulong Island, as long as they behave, I won’t eradicate them, but will instead bring them great benefits," Ye Zhen said.
Chu Zhao remained silent, biting his lip, drooping his eyelids.
Ye Zhen’s words were actually his only choice now, unless he wished to die.
To be honest, he had no chance even if he fought for his life. Not to ntion the Demon Marshal’s avatar and the Heavenly Patrol Divine General, just one Evil Punishing Divine Thunder from Ye Zhen was enough for him to handle.
He wanted to capture the thief, but the aura of the High Grade Suppressing Device behind him and the constant space fluctuations around him left him without any confidence.
Submitting to Ye Zhen seed to be his only choice, but he couldn’t swallow his pride.
The dignity of a Realm King Realm expert left him without the courage to submit to Ye Zhen, yet he did not want to die.
"Well, if you submit to and serve well, then every year the Psychic Spirit Pills for your cultivation will be no less than this amount." Saying this, Ye Zhen threw out ten Mid-grade Thought Spirit Pills.
Realm King Realm experts were too important to Ye Zhen right now, even the symbolic significance outweighed their practical use. So considering the dignity of a Realm King Realm expert, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but elaborate a bit more.
But in the next mont, Chu Zhao looked at the ten Mid-grade Thought Spirit Pills thrown by Ye Zhen, and his whole body trembled violently, then looked at Ye Zhen with incomparable surprise, "Are you serious about this?"
"Yearly... such a share of Psychic Spirit Pills?"
"I, Gai Jun, never lie!" Ye Zhen said.
"Good, if so, what harm is there in submitting to you!" With that, Chu Zhao closed his eyes and completely released his Innate Divine Soul.
After half a quarter-hour, Ye Zhen, having captured Chu Zhao’s Divine Soul, chatted with him for a bit, then showed a look of utter astonishnt.
Ye Zhen hadn’t expected that Psychic Spirit Pills were so precious and hard to obtain above the North Sea.
In the Primordial Continent, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, one High Grade Spiritual Stone could exchange for one Low Grade Thought Spirit Pill, but this thing, when it reached the sea, the price would imdiately double.
Two High Grade Thought Spirit Pills, and it’s not sothing you could get just because you have Spirit Crystals.
In the North Sea, the richest are the Dragon King, Water Monarch, Water Clan Demon; like them, there is simply no competing.
The entire Dulong Island, taking out more than half its inco, could only acquire about a thousand Low Grade Thought Spirit Pills a year. Among the ten elders of the clan, the clan leader, the next heirs, the elite cultivators split them, so even as the old ancestor, getting a few more, he could only enjoy a maximum of one hundred Low Grade Thought Spirit Pills a year, which was not enough for a month’s cultivation for him.
The ten Mid-grade Thought Spirit Pills presented by Ye Zhen were indeed a grand gesture.
In the face of cultivation resources, whatever little dignity a Realm King Realm expert had naturally vanished.
Having subdued Chu Zhao, Ye Zhen was greatly relieved. Under his command, besides Fengg Jiumo, he finally had a presentable Realm King Realm expert.
With Chu Zhao’s Fourth Stage of Realm King Realm cultivation, if Ye Zhen could tailor one or two Mid-grade Suppressing Devices for him, it would be no problem to withstand even a Sixth or Seventh Stage of Realm King Realm expert.
As ti passed, the shopkeepers of the trading firms that opened branches in the Ruins Market of Dulong Island gradually left, leaving behind the branch shopkeepers and a group of stewards and deacons.
However, the eleven major rchants brought by Hua Changjun did not leave. Their plan was simple, since they were here already, and their ti was already delayed, they might as well wait another month. Once the Red Yin Grass from Sky Wing Trading Company arrived next month, they would buy together, then leave.
Ye Zhen was more than happy for this, as long as they stayed on Dulong Island. Their daily living expenses alone amounted to a considerable inco for Dulong Island, as rchants never stinted on flair and luxury.
Taking advantage of these rchants being on Dulong Island, Gai Jun visited them one by one, expanding his network and simultaneously gathering useful information both inside and out.
However, when entertaining Hua Changjun with a banquet alongside Liao Feibai, Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai took the opportunity to seek advice on the situation regarding the All Heavens Small World and inquired about the whereabouts of Caiyi, Hua Changjun’s response left Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai completely astonished.
