Chapter 226.2
Revive them! Lin Beifan ordered that they be fed a divine elixir.
About the time it took to drink a cup of tea later, they coughed themselves awake and looked around in confusion.
Where are we? Werent we in a cave before?
Have we escaped?
And who are you people?
Youre awake!
Lin Beifan declared authoritatively: I am the Great Xia Emperor Lin Beifan! You are now within my imperial palace, and it was I who saved your lives. Are you willing to pledge allegiance to Great Xia and serve me?
The five of them exchanged glances and fell silent for a moment.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Eight Master Hu said, Your Majesty, weve just come to our senses and are unaware of what has happened since. Could you allow us to fully understand the situation before we make a decision?
Granted! Lin Beifan waved his hand, ordering someone to inform them of the situation.
After hearing the explanation, all five were struck with a sense of desolation.
They hadnt realized so much time had passed since they entered the cave.
Seeing that they had not returned for so long, various Grandmasters had resolved to flatten Wanshou Mountain.
In other words, they had been completely abandoned!
They might not have survived if not for Great Xia!
Although rationally they understood the actions of these Grandmasters, emotionally, they still felt a chill in their hearts.
Now, I ask you again, are you willing to pledge allegiance to Great Xia and serve your Emperor? Lin Beifan asked again.
Your Majesty, I have always been a free man with little to no ties to the Buddhist Sect! Since Your Majesty favors me, I am willing to work like a dog or horse for Your Majesty! Ni Pusa knelt down without any hesitation.
It wasnt just because Lin Beifan had been kind to him, but also because he could faintly see that Lin Beifan was the true Son of Destiny.
Working for such a person was to follow the will of heaven and the only chance for self-salvation.
Good! Lin Beifan nodded, very satisfied with Ni Pusas understanding.
And what about you? Lin Beifan turned to the other four.
Eight Master Hu smiled wryly: I belong to the Taoist Sect, but ever since the Taoist Sect abandoned me, all ties of gratitude and grievances were severed, leaving no further connection! I am willing to serve you if Your Majesty is not afraid of trouble from the Taoist Sect!
Lin Beifan smiled calmly: Although the Taoist Sect is strong, I am not afraid! Since you are willing to serve me, then stay in Great Xia with peace of mind. Leave the Taoist Sect matters to me. You need not worry!
Yes! Your servant greets Your Majesty, long live the Emperor! Eight Master Hu declared his allegiance.
Very good! Lin Beifan looked at the other three.
Your Majesty, Pangzi and I have always been in the business of tomb-digging, which is frowned upon for harming spiritual virtue and not accepted by others, so we could only rely on the Demon Sect! If Your Majesty does not despise us, we are also willing to be loyal to you! Wu Xie said.
Every profession produces its own leading authority!
Lin Beifan laughed: In my hands, I have all sorts of people, thieves, assassins, and all sorts of people. I welcome them all as long as they are willing to serve me!
With no more worries, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi pledged their loyalty to Lin Beifan.
Only the Innate was left.
His abilities were very special. He was skilled in bone-shrinking, able to curl himself into a ball, and also proficient in holding his breath, able to go without food, water, or air for a week. He chose to stay as well.
Lin Beifan was very pleased.
These five people were not only diverse in their abilities but also formidable in strength, all at the level of first-rate masters or above.
After this ordeal, they were bound to improve even further.
In other words, Lin Beifan had taken in one Innate and four potential Innates.
Youve just escaped danger and are physically weak. Go down and rest! Ive already had rooms prepared for you! Lin Beifan said in a good mood.
Thank you, Your Majesty! The five of them took their leave.
Then, as the treasure could not be found, the fervor over the tomb of the Heavenly Khan gradually subsided.
Since there was no profit to be made, Yaoyao came back.
Lin Beifan told her about the incident of digging up Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi.
Yaoyao was very unconcerned: So what if you dug them up, its not a big deal! In my Demon Sect, there are plenty of all sorts of people, and there are even hundreds who dig tombs!
Lin Beifan chuckled to himself. Your Demon Sect may have many tomb diggers, but I doubt there are many with Innate strength.
I will gladly accept these two future Innate masters.
By the way, Ive brought you a piece of news on my return!
What news? Lin Beifan asked.
Yaoyao spoke mysteriously: Do you know who spread the news about the tomb of the Great Xia Khan?
Who spread it? Lin Beifan asked again.
Hehe Yaoyao rubbed her thumb and index finger together, hinting at Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan calmly pressed on: Talking about money between us is too distant!
But we have to talk about money. Seeing you make so much while I earn nothing makes me feel bad! So, shouldnt you share a bit to comfort my wounded heart? Yaoyao looked at him with puppy eyes.
Lin Beifan held her face and gave her a peck.
There, comforted. Now you can tell me!
Yaoyao: What I want is money!
As the saying goes, money has its price, but emotional bonds are priceless! I have already given you the most precious thing I have, so lets not talk about money anymore!
Lin Beifan held her again and planted another kiss: If thats not enough, Ill do it a few more times!
Yaoyao:
Forget it, forget it, you win!
Yaoyao waved her hand dispiritedly: Let me tell you. After our Demon Sects investigation, we found out that this news first spread from Great Luo! Then, various great noble families and powers all played their part behind the scenes, rapidly spreading the news everywhere! In other words, youve been played by Great Luo!
So thats how it is. Great Luos intent to disturb me is relentless!
Lin Beifan was very angry: During the Ice Disaster, they almost caused our Great Xia to be without cold-weather supplies. Thankfully, the heavens were merciful, and we survived the calamity! But when one plan failed, they hatched another, spreading rumors to frame us. Its too sinister and too despicable! We cant let them go!
So, what do you plan to do? Yaoyao blinked, feeling that the other party seemed a bit insincere.
Lin Beifan stood up abruptly: Of course, its to wage war against Great Luo! Lets fight to the death!
What? Yaoyao was shocked.
