Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3278: Expedient Plan

A month later.

Su Zimo released the Supremacies in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram as well.

Under the lead of Yang Mo and the other Heavenly Supremacy experts, Chaos Palace had already captured the surrounding territories of Black Goat Ridge, Giant Spirit Valley, Mystic Bird Forest and Frost Snowfield and included them in the territory of Chaos Palace.

They were unstoppable everywhere they passed!

Serpent Wyrm Island had already been occupied by Chaos Palace.

Chaos Palace controlled more than a hundred Source Mines!

The birthday gifts that were sent to the Serpent Wyrm Island Lord for his birthday banquet on Serpent Wyrm Island previously were now all in Su Zimo’s hands.

On this day.

The Heavenly Supremacy experts of Chaos Palace gathered in the Chaos Hall of Myriad Beast Ridge. Su Zimo sat on the main seat and Xu Rui, Chen Qianhe and Meng Shi were present as well.

“Master, did you summon us back because something happened?”

Yang Mo asked.

Su Zimo looked at Xu Rui beside him and nodded. “You do the talking.”

Xu Rui said, “The new year is approaching and the envoys of Five Poisons Palace are about to arrive.”

“Now that our Chaos Palace has expanded and occupied 138 Source Mines, we can already be considered the largest second-rate faction in Baldachin State. The number of Source Stones to be paid is also rather shocking and we have to prepare in advance.”

“Five Poisons Palace?”

Yang Mo frowned.

Over the past few days, he had roughly heard that Five Poisons Palace was the only first-rate faction in Baldachin State and its true overlord.

“Why do we have to pay them Source Stones?”

Yang Mo asked with a frown.

Xu Rui smiled bitterly. “There’s no choice. Five Poisons Palace has the advantage in numbers and has a Dao Supremacy expert holding down the fort. The other factions won’t dare to violate this rule they set.”

“Actually, it’s not only in Baldachin State. It’s the same for the other states.”

Yang Mo asked again, “How much do we have to pay?”

“70%.”

Xu Rui replied.

“What?!”

Yang Mo was enraged. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, “So much?!”

“They’re really going too far!”

“I can’t take this lying down!”

The other Heavenly Supremacies were furious as well.

Xu Rui had a helpless expression. “All these years, the 108 states in the Southeast Region have been occupied by experts of the various foreign races. It’s the same situation everywhere else.”

“Take Baldachin State for example. Every second-rate faction has to pay 70% of their Source Stones every year to Five Poisons Palace.”

“Since the second-rate factions don’t dare to disobey this rule, they can only turn around to deal with the third-rate factions under them, requesting the third-rate factions to pay 90%.”

“The third-rate factions don’t dare to disobey either. Otherwise, they will be destroyed and plundered heavily. The third-rate factions can only obtain 10% of the Source Mines every year and it’s not enough for them to cultivate.”

“That’s the reason why there will often be many fights between third-rate factions…”

The Heavenly Supremacy experts of Chaos Palace frowned when they heard that.

The reason why Five Poisons Palace was so fearless and enjoyed the fruits of their labor was because they were strong and unshakable.

Under that pressure, the other factions of Baldachin State could only fight and kill each other if they wanted to obtain more cultivation resources.

Yang Mo asked, “So, Chaos Palace has been paying 70% every year previously as well?”

Xu Rui nodded and said, “Ever since we occupied Myriad Beast Ridge, we’ve paid 70% every year for the past ten years. However, the Palace Lord has ordered that we’re not allowed to plunder the Source Mines of the other third-grade factions.”

Yang Mo glanced at Su Zimo and thought to himself, ‘This master is still a little weak and lacks sharpness. Even after being bullied like this, he doesn’t dare to fight back.’

However, he is rather benevolent to not bully the weak.

Su Zimo did not speak the entire time with an indifferent expression.

Although he was extremely resistant when Five Poisons Palace came to collect Source Stone payments for the past ten years, he did not reveal anything and asked Xu Rui and the others to pay up accordingly.

Firstly, he was not strong enough. It was truly unwise for him to become enemies with Five Poisons Palace over this matter.

Even if he could survive, everyone from Chaos Palace would not be able to escape death.

To him, the most important thing was to buy time to cultivate and increase his cultivation realm.

Secondly, even if there was only 30% of the Source Mines left, with his Green Lotus True Body around, he could gather the surrounding Source Qi to the greatest extent and help everyone from Chaos Palace cultivate.

At the very least, everyone from Chaos Palace would not lack cultivation resources.

“Palace Lord, have you summoned us this time round because you have other arrangements?”

Yang Mo asked.

Su Zimo replied, “It’s to let you guys know about this matter and also to remind you that we’ll pay 70% of the Source Stones as per normal. Don’t get into a conflict with Five Poisons Palace for the time being.”

Yang Mo and the others were silent.

They had cultivated in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram since they were young and had never suffered any setbacks. All of them were proud and arrogant and were naturally not afraid of Five Poisons Palace.

Of course, they knew in their hearts.

Five Poisons Palace had a Dao Supremacy holding down the fort.

Since the Dao Supremacies of the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram could not come out, it was true that they could not take on Five Poisons Palace alone.

Su Zimo continued, “In addition, the territory occupied by Chaos Palace is already large enough. Stop expanding.”

“Why is that?”

Yang Mo frowned when he heard that and could not help but ask, his tone changing.

It was fine for them to go along with Su Zimo’s arrangements of paying 70% of their Source Stones to Five Poisons Palace.

Butnow, they were not allowed to continue expanding and conquering as well?

Yang Mo said in a deep voice, “We have to hand over 70% of the Source Stones every year. We don’t have much cultivation resources to begin with. Since we don’t plunder the third-rate factions, we can only occupy the territories of the other second-rate factions.”

“Furthermore, this Southeast Region belongs to our Flora race to begin with.”

“It’s only right that we should take them back from the outsiders who are occupying them!”

“That’s right, these outsiders have bullied us for so many years. We should have chased them out a long time ago!”

“Palace Lord, why pity them?!”

The other Heavenly Supremacy experts spoke one after another.

Su Zimo’s expression was unchanged. “Right now, Chaos Palace is already the largest second-rate faction in Baldachin State. If you guys continue to expand, you’ll definitely attract the attention and vigilance of Five Poisons Palace and attract trouble.”

“Hmph!”

An Utmost Heavenly Supremacy said coldly, “And our Chaos Sanctuary is supposed to be afraid of a mere Five Poisons Palace?”

They cultivated in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram all year round and had hundreds of Dao Supremacy experts around. Naturally, they did not take Five Poisons Palace seriously.

However, those Dao Supremacy experts could not render them any help right now.

To Su Zimo, he could only fight against Five Poisons Palace if he advanced in his cultivation realm and released those Dao Supremacy experts.

During this period of time, it was not appropriate to have a conflict with Five Poisons Palace.

“This is just an expedient plan.”

Su Zimo said indifferently, “Everyone, just follow my orders.”

The few Utmost Heavenly Supremacies were still indignant and looked at Yang Mo instinctively.

After all, Yang Mo was a Peerless Heavenly Supremacy in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram and had immense prestige among the Heavenly Supremacy experts.

“Understood.”

Although he was indignant, Yang Mo could not say anything.

After all, in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram, Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng had warned them not to disobey Su Zimo’s orders.

Yang Mo and the other Heavenly Supremacy experts stood up one after another and left.

Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief.

At the very least, he could cultivate in peace for the upcoming period of time.
