Chapter 2252 Guest
Jiang Mo came again.
“Master, the current head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Zong, would like to request to see you.”
“Shangguan Zong…”
Shen Changqing remembered this person, he was the only god in the Shangguan family today.
Ever since the deaths of Shangguan Xuanzhen and other powerful men, Shen Changqing has not paid much attention to the Shangguan family.
Past cooperation.
It’s because the Shangguan family has that foundation.
But now that the Shangguan family has declined, Shen Changqing no longer has much contact with them.
but.
Now that the cultivator from the Shangguan family has come, he will not turn him away.
“Let him in.”
“yes!”
Jiang Mo retreated.
Not long.
A middle-aged monk walked in from outside. The moment he saw Shen Changqing, he lowered his posture very much and bowed directly.
“Shangguan Clan of the Shangguan Family, paying respects to the leader of Hongshan Clan!”
“Master Shangguan is too polite.”
Shen Changqing smiled faintly.
From Shangguan Zong’s simple words, he could understand that the other party’s intention was not simple.
When this person stood up, Shen Changqing said, “Master Shangguan, please take a seat.”
“Thank you, Sect Master Hongshan!”
Shangguan Zong then sat down as he was told.
Shen Changqing said: “Back then, I had some friendship with Senior Shangguan Xuanzhen and Brother Xinghe. Now the world has changed, and they have fallen in the ancient world. I have always felt regretful.
But now that the head of the Shangguan family has taken on the responsibility, the revival of the Shangguan family is just around the corner.”
“Master, your words are too serious!”
Shangguan Zong was secretly delighted at Shen Changqing’s words, but he did not show it and spoke with a sad face.
“After the death of Ancestor Xuan Zhen, my Shangguan family’s wealth has been reduced to 70% to 80%. Now many forces are eyeing us covetously, and I am walking on thin ice. Fortunately, the Shangguan family has some connection with the Qing Sect, so they dare not act rashly.
But I also understand that the Qing Sect is just the Qing Sect, and the Shangguan family cannot survive forever under the protection of the Qing Sect’s name.
Therefore, I came here this time to represent the will of all the cultivators of the Shangguan family, and I hope to have the opportunity to serve the Qing Sect!”
After saying the last sentence, Shangguan Zong stood up again.
He didn’t mean to beat around the bush.
ask for help.
You have to have the attitude of asking for help.
Anyone who is not stupid can see what the Shangguan family’s situation is like now.
Instead of being hesitant, it is better to admit it openly. This way, there will be some hope of joining the Qing Sect.
Without waiting for Shen Changqing to answer.
Shangguan Zong handed another storage ring to the other party.
“This is a gift from my Shangguan family. Please accept it, Sect Master!”
Shen Changqing took the storage ring calmly, and his mind fell into it. He easily defeated the restrictive force and saw everything inside the storage ring clearly.
Netherworld Spirit Stone!
A large number of Netherworld Spiritual Stones!
When seeing these Netherworld Spiritual Stones, Shen Changqing’s expression was also somewhat moved.
Shangguan Zong said: “This is two million top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones, which is also the limit of what my Shangguan family can take out. I just hope that Qing Zong can give the Shangguan family a chance.
I swear here that the Shangguan family will follow the lead of the Qing clan in the future!”
The words fell.
Shen Changqing didn’t say anything, and the hall was silent.
Shangguan Zong lowered his head, waiting for the other party’s answer.
Time passes by little by little.
The Shangguan family was also very worried.
for a long time.
Shen Changqing put the storage ring into the cave, then took out an identity token, slightly modified the function of the identity token, and then handed it to the other party.
“This is the guest token of my Qing Sect. With this token, you will be a guest of my Qing Sect. You are not bound by the sect’s rules, nor do you enjoy the sect’s treatment.
If other forces attack the Shangguan family, you can use this guest token. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, you can also bring this token to Qingzong for help.
But it should be remembered that Qingzong will not intervene in the troubles caused by the Shangguan family on their own initiative.
In addition, from today onwards, the income from the Shangguan family’s industries in various places will be converted into corresponding netherworld spirit stones every year, and three of them will be sold to me.”
“I understand!”
Shangguan Zong held the guest token tightly, his face full of gratitude.
What is a 30% profit?
Compared with the survival of the Shangguan family, let alone 30% of the profit, even if it was 50% of the profit, he would agree without hesitation.
Shen Changqing’s words meant that Qingzong had already accepted the Shangguan family.
With Qingzong as their backing, the Shangguan family will be able to act much more easily in the future.
If other forces want to take action against the Shangguan family, they only need to take out Qingzong’s guest token.
A single token.
It is enough to shock everything.
If they still want to take action against the Shangguan family under such circumstances, it would be tantamount to provoking the entire Qing Sect. The Shangguan Sect believes that no one in the ancient wilderness dares to offend the Qing Sect right now.
unless.
The top forces from other Kyushu have settled there.
but.
Even if these powerful forces arrive.
They would not necessarily fall out with Qing Zong.
After all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Although the Qing Sect does not have many strong people on the surface, the situation is suppressed by the leader of the Qing Sect.
Although the Shangguan family paid two million top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones and 30% of the subsequent industry profits in order to obtain this token, Shangguan Zong thought it was completely worth it.
“On behalf of the entire Shangguan family, I would like to thank the Sect Master!”
“Master Shangguan, there is no need to do this. You and I are just taking what we need. The Shangguan family is also an ancient family that came from the Great Soul State. Its current decline is only temporary.
I hope to see the Shangguan family regain its glory one day!”
Shen Changqing smiled faintly.
Shangguan Zong’s expression became more grateful when he heard this.
Then.
This person said goodbye and left.
Seeing Shangguan Zong leave, Shen Changqing took out the storage ring again and said with a faint smile: “As expected of an ancient family, I underestimated them.
The so-called decline is only relative. In the eyes of the ancient forces, this ancient family is still unattainable. “
When the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land was destroyed, Shen Changqing only obtained a mere few hundred thousand Netherworld Spirit Stones from the treasure house of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land.
Those spiritual stones.
It was the entire ancient holy land.
Now, Shangguan Zong took out two million top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones without blinking an eye. Just relying on this, he completely defeated the ancient desert holy land.
Besides.
It is impossible for the Shangguan family to be so honest as to spend all their family resources and take out all the Netherworld Spirit Stones.
Two million top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.
In Shen Changqing’s opinion, it may only occupy half of the current Shangguan family, or even less than half.
but.
None of this matters.
The fact that the Shangguan family could take out so many Netherworld Spirit Stones in one go was enough to show their sincerity.
Obviously.
Shangguan Zong has a clear understanding of the current situation and knows what the Shangguan family will face, so he can make such a decisive decision.
“Although the Shangguan clan’s cultivation is average, they are very decisive in their actions. Under the leadership of such a strong man, the Shangguan family may really have a chance to recover a little bit.”
Shen Changqing pondered.
As for leading the entire Shangguan family to glory, it is not something an ordinary god can do.
If one wants the Shangguan family to truly recover, at least a Divine Emperor must emerge.
Shake your head.
Shen Changqing no longer paid attention to the Shangguan family’s affairs.
The other party offered two million top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones and 30% of the annual profits in exchange for the protection of the Qing Sect. There was no reason for Shen Changqing to refuse.
…
The other side.
Leave the City Lord’s Mansion.
Shangguan Zong came to an unfamiliar mansion, which was the property purchased by the Shangguan family in Qingcheng.
For the Shangguan family, purchasing property in Qingcheng is not a difficult task at all.
Even though Qingcheng is now attracting many cultivators, causing housing prices to rise a lot, the so-called housing prices are just a drizzle in the eyes of the Shangguan family.
Enter the mansion.
Shangguan Xiong and several other elders had been waiting for a long time.
“Master, how is it going?”
An elder asked anxiously.
Shangguan Zong did not say anything, but took out an identity token. On the front was Shangguan Zong’s name, and on the back was the word Qing Zong.
“Guest token… Has the Patriarch joined the Qing Sect?”
The elder who spoke looked stunned.
What’s going on?
The head of our family went out for a trip, and when he came back, he became a guest official of another sect?
Shangguan Zong smiled and said, “It’s already been done. I’m a guest official in Qing Sect. I’m not bound by the rules of Qing Sect, nor am I treated as a Qing Sect cultivator. It’s just a name.
With this identity token, my Shangguan family will be protected by the Qing Sect.
If a strong enemy comes to your door, just using this identity token will be enough to solve many problems. If there is a problem that cannot be solved, you can also go to Qingzong for help with this token.
The only problem is that the Qing Sect will not come forward to solve the trouble that my Shangguan family has brought upon ourselves.”
Hearing Shangguan Zong’s words, all the elders showed joy on their faces.
Shangguan Xiong said excitedly: “With this token, my Shangguan family can rest assured!”
“That being said, according to the agreement, my Shangguan family must pay 30% of the annual income from all its businesses to Qingzong.”
Shangguan Zong’s words made the smiles on the other elders’ faces freeze for a moment.
After a moment.
Shangguan Xiong shook his head and said, “Qingzong is a big family after all. It is unrealistic to expect them to protect my Shangguan family forever with two million top-grade netherworld spirit stones.
Although the income from 30% of the industry is not small, it will not harm the family foundation, so it is just given.
Moreover, with this level of interest relationship, if my Shangguan family really encounters unsolvable troubles in the future, I don’t have to worry that Qingzong will ignore it.
In the long run, this deal will not be a loss for my Shangguan family!”
As the elder of the family, how could Shangguan Xiong not understand the pros and cons?
Compared with the benefits received, the treatment the family paid was completely insignificant.
After hearing Shangguan Xiong’s words, the remaining elders also looked relieved.
