This villain has a little conscience, but not much!

"Is the Hidden Gate really that powerful!?"

Long Aotian also got the news and his brows immediately frowned slightly.

Although he did not confront the disciples of the Hidden Sect this time, he also felt the unusualness of Cheng Yun and the others. However, his attention was on Ye Chen at the time, so he did not pay special attention to them.

"Yes!"

Hong Xiu quickly said, "According to the information we obtained from our investigation, the Hidden Sect has sent a total of five disciples this time, and almost every one of them possesses the Seal of the Great Dao and the Great Innate Treasure."

"How can it be!?"

Long Aotian immediately exclaimed: "I survived a near-death experience to obtain the Yin-Yang Dao Seal and the Seven Killings Stele. How could this hidden sect be able to provide every disciple with a Dao Seal and a Great Innate Treasure!?"

“The facts are truly shocking!”

Hong Xiu said with a serious expression: "But now everyone is saying that the Hidden Sect is a sect passed down from the ancient times. Not only are there the seals of the Great Dao and the Great Innate Treasure hidden inside the sect, there are also many rare treasures and countless immortal crystals."

"A sect passed down from ancient times!?"

Long Aotian immediately frowned and said calmly: "How credible do you think this is!?"

"very high!"

Hong Xiu said with a firm look in her eyes: "According to our investigation, the Fantian Seal, Banana Fan, Hunyuan Golden Bowl, Soul Avenue Seal, Sound Avenue Seal, and Devouring Avenue Seal used by the Hidden Sect disciples have all appeared in history, but in the end their whereabouts are unknown. So can we understand that the other missing treasures were also taken away by the Hidden Sect!?"

"If you say so..."

Long Aotian's eyes suddenly focused, and he felt that Hongxiu's analysis was correct.

In the past, he thought that the Great Innate Treasure and the Seal of the Great Dao were hard to come by, but now, after being reminded by Hongxiu, he realized that it was not that the resources were rare, but that someone had monopolized the resources.

"Aotian!!"

Just as Long Aotian was asking about the Hidden Door, Fairy Xinyu hurried in.

Now the mysterious man has successfully cashed out and left. By the time they noticed it, it was too late. He left them with a devastated Southern Region. Now every day, not only are there self-destructing cultivators with collapsed Taoism, but there are also countless cultivators who are blocking the gate of the Temple of War God and demanding immortal crystals.

If they cannot quell the anger of the independent cultivators as soon as possible, they will turn from shareholders into mobs.

Although Long Aotian, the number one Immortal Emperor in the fairy world, is not afraid, but she, the quasi-Immortal Emperor, and the Su family behind her are afraid, just like the disaster that the Su family encountered a hundred years ago, when countless wandering cultivators rushed into the Su family and tore them to pieces.

"What's the situation now!?"

Long Aotian was in a very annoyed mood and felt that this question was a little beyond the scope.

In the past, he was only responsible for training and fighting, and never had to ask about the political affairs of the Temple of War God. Fairy Xinyu and Honglian handled them all. But now Honglian has been captured by Qin Feng, and Fairy Xinyu cannot handle it alone, so naturally she will not handle it if he is asked.

"We haven't found anyone yet!"

Fairy Xinyu spoke the truth: "Bai Ri has led troops to block the border, but he did not find the mysterious man. Now the news has spread completely. Countless casual cultivators have come to us to exchange for immortal crystals. We simply do not have any extra immortal crystals to exchange with them."

"Suppress it! Send the army to suppress it immediately!"

As a representative of creatures that think with their lower body, Long Aotian only knows how to solve problems through force when encountering problems.

"Aotian, calm down!"

Fairy Xinyu hurriedly advised: "Military force can't solve the problem now. It will only intensify the conflict between the two sides. Moreover, the military pay of the Shen Ce Army has been delayed again and again this year, and there are already complaints in the army. If we use them to suppress it, I am afraid that not only will we fail to solve the problem, but it will also easily cause a mutiny."

"Then what do you think we should do!?"

Long Aotian became more and more irritated and yelled at Fairy Xinyu.

"You yelled at me!?"

Fairy Xinyu felt aggrieved, and her beautiful eyes turned red in an instant.

"That's not what I meant..."

Long Aotian immediately woke up and began to panic.

Even though he is known as the number one Immortal Emperor in the Immortal World and is not afraid of any enemy, he will raise the white flag and surrender when he sees a beautiful woman crying.

"Emperor!"

Hong Xiu couldn't stand the crying Xinyu Fairy, so she interrupted her and said, "Actually, this is easy to solve. Have you forgotten the hidden door you mentioned earlier? They not only hide the seal of the Great Dao and the great innate treasure, but also many rare treasures and countless immortal crystals."

"You mean to prepare for both situations!?"

Long Aotian immediately frowned and said: "While continuing to let Bai Ri intercept the mysterious man, we will send people to find this hidden door and use their immortal crystals to fill the hole in our War God Temple!?"

"Yes!"

Hong Xiu nodded and replied, "If we want to save the War God Temple now, there is only one way: rob. We need to use the money of other forces to keep our War God Temple alive. According to the news we have recently received, not only our War God Temple has suffered a cash run, but also Lingxiao Palace and the Immortal Alliance have also suffered a cash run. Therefore, the only target left for us to choose is the Hidden Gate."

"Makes sense!"

Long Aotian was silent for a while before nodding in agreement.

Although the War God Temple is in chaos now, it is ultimately caused by the Immortal Crystals. As long as he can find a way to get the Immortal Crystals, the run on the bank can be quelled instantly.

He was very familiar with the method of prolonging life proposed by Hongxiu. It was exactly the method he used to start his career.

"Report!!"

A soldier came in, knelt down and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, General Bai Ri sent a message asking when this year's military pay will be distributed. Many generals in the Shen Ce Army are already dissatisfied."

"Let him wait a little longer!"

Long Aotian immediately became irritated and hated it when someone asked him for money.

But he had no choice...

Because nearly 70% of the Shence Army that he personally led had been wiped out by Qin Feng a hundred years ago, and the current Shence Army were all newly recruited by him, and their loyalty could not be compared with the original Shence Army. He could only use fairy crystals to maintain the relationship between the two sides.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers retreated directly to pass on the message.

Bai Ri, who received the military order from Long Aotian, immediately convened a meeting of all officers and passed on the order without any concealment, which unsurprisingly caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

"Still waiting? How many months has it been!?"

"Yes, I am still waiting for the Immortal Crystal to break through!"

"What does Immortal Emperor Aotian mean? Does he not want to pay us military salaries? "

"I heard that the War God Temple is out of money, and now the independent cultivators are exchanging for immortal crystals!"

"No way? Then what are we going to do with our military pay this year? That's several hundred top-grade immortal crystals a year!"

"If it weren't for these few hundred bucks a year, how could I possibly join the Shen Ce Army and risk my life!?"

"........."

When the soldiers heard that the War God Temple had no money, panic immediately began to spread...
