Chapter 1966: Chapter 1966: Wealth and Power
Actually, it doesn’t really matter if Luo Yang asks or not, since he doesn’t plan on leaving alive.
Of course, a bad life is better than a good death.
If he could still draw a breath and return home, see the others, that would also be a nice choice.
To leave the Eight Immortals Hall headquarters alive, he needs to have some understanding of it.
Right now, Luo Yang only feels that with the Blood Devil, he has a certain chance of success, but knowing how powerful the techniques of the Eight Immortals Hall are, if they find a way to counter the Flying Sword, that would be troublesome.
Aunt Thirteen stubbornly refused to speak, but Luo Yang had ways to deal with her.
After all, he had an ace up his sleeve.
"Aunt Thirteen, you think you’re tough. In the future, when your Shi Sheng Palace needs my help, you’ll know you were wrong." Luo Yang sneered.
At the mention of The Tenth Mu Tan, Aunt Thirteen was both angry and terrified.
Not to mention facing the Mu Tan Ten Brothers, just dealing with The Tenth Mu Tan alone would be tough enough.
Moreover, there’s the Guide.
"Kid, what exactly do you want? Grandma Gu agreed to take you to the Eight Immortals Hall, what more do you want?" Aunt Thirteen fired questions at him like a machine gun.
She still didn’t know that Luo Yang was going to the Eight Immortals Hall to risk his life this time.
"Aunt Thirteen, just answer my questions honestly. I want to know more, so that when I settle the score with the Eight Immortals Hall later, I’ll be more prepared." Luo Yang said.
He and Aunt Thirteen weren’t from the same sect, and they wouldn’t see each other often in the future.
If he didn’t ask now, he might not get a chance to ask her later.
Though they could contact by phone, it’s hard to be clear without speaking face-to-face.
Moreover, Aunt Thirteen might make excuses like being busy or her phone running out of power, easily brushing him off.
After a while, Aunt Thirteen snorted and said coldly, "Kid, the visible strength of the Eight Immortals Hall is something you can’t handle. Not to mention their hidden strengths!"
Seeing her speak, Luo Yang was relieved and said, "Aunt Thirteen, you truly are a smart person."
This almost set Aunt Thirteen off into a rage mode.
"You!"
She turned her head to glare at him, not even in the mood to drive anymore.
Luo Yang was startled. If this went on, he estimated they’d be riding to their deaths on the way to the Eight Immortals Hall.
"Aunt Thirteen, calm down first. Watch the road! Watch the road!" Luo Yang pointed forward.
Fortunately, Aunt Thirteen still wanted to live, glancing ahead from the corner of her eye with a proud smile.
A woman driving could really scare the life out of someone.
After weaving through traffic for a moment, Aunt Thirteen finally drove properly.
You had to be careful with your words with such a temperamental woman.
Luo Yang chuckled and said, "Aunt Thirteen, is there anyone in the Eight Immortals Hall who knows Flying Sword Technique?"
He believed that with the Blood Devil, he could unleash the Flying Sword. It would be trouble if someone in the Eight Immortals Hall knew it too.
Aunt Thirteen didn’t reply, so Luo Yang tried to flatter her, saying, "Aunt Thirteen, we’re like family, just among ourselves. Sometimes I make a joke. You don’t need to get so angry, right?"
She snorted coldly and glared at him.
"Aunt Thirteen, whether I can survive depends on your help. So, does anyone in the Eight Immortals Hall know Flying Sword Technique?" Luo Yang persisted.
"Kid, if you’re scared, Grandma Gu will drive back to the hotel right now." Aunt Thirteen sneered.
Her inner intentions were not convenient to express.
Luo Yang sneered, "Aunt Thirteen, I say east, you say west, is this fun?"
Clearly, Aunt Thirteen was deliberately dodging the question, just not wanting to reveal too much about the Eight Immortals Hall.
In terms of relationships, Aunt Thirteen was more friendly with the Eight Immortals Hall.
And although Luo Yang had shown some promise, his fame was still not significant enough.
Compared to the Eight Immortals Hall, Luo Yang was still not enough.
"Kid, what does it change if you know or don’t know?" Aunt Thirteen countered.
If he was only going to see Hong Jiaxin, he really didn’t need to know much about the Eight Immortals Hall.
But since he wanted to seek revenge on Wang Weiye, without clarity on the opponent’s strength, he would have no confidence.
Luo Yang said coldly, "You don’t think the Eight Immortals Hall will really let me go, do you? Even if they say they won’t kill me now, they won’t give me trouble later? Knowing about them would help protect myself better!"
Hearing this, Aunt Thirteen pondered for a moment.
"Kid, the Eight Immortals Hall is not something you can handle. I’m saying, without the help of The Tenth Mu Tan, you can’t beat the Eight Immortals Hall."
At this, she seemed to hesitate over something.
"Even if, taking a step back, you and The Tenth Mu Tan defeat the Eight Immortals Hall, can you have a good life? I guarantee you and your loved ones will be entrenched in trouble for a lifetime."
It was unpleasant to hear, but Luo Yang knew it was true.
He indeed wanted to team up with The Tenth Mu Tan to wash the Eight Immortals Hall in blood, this thought was always strong.
"Aunt Thirteen, I will stop The Tenth Mu Tan. Don’t worry. But on the other hand, I also won’t easily let Wang Weiye go!" Luo Yang said in a deep voice.
"Kid, the Eight Immortals Hall is too wealthy and powerful for you to handle. Think about where to find an antidote, live the rest of your life well." Aunt Thirteen advised.
It’s not that Luo Yang didn’t want to quit, but he’s already too involved, unable to stay ashore.
As the saying goes: When you’re in Jianghu, you can’t control your own fate.
This was the case for Luo Yang.
After acquiring the Shennong Scripture, he just wanted to quietly become the world’s richest man, leading his fellow villagers to prosperity.
But then he ran into the matter with Hong Jiaxin, got deeper and deeper, until he couldn’t extricate himself.
Now he wanted to leave Jianghu, but the Japanese Ninja, the Japan Collector, Skull Fortress, and the three Gu sisters wouldn’t allow it.
In this way, unless he died, he could never live an ordinary life.
His life was destined to be one filled with slaughter.
Either die in silence, or erupt in silence.
Only because Aunt Thirteen didn’t fully understand Luo Yang’s past did she think he had a way out.
Luo Yang chuckled, Aunt Thirteen dissatisfaction showing through: "Kid, what’s so funny? Grandma Gu is wrong? Not to mention the Eight Immortals Hall’s combat strength, just their financial power alone could crush you."
Luo Yang didn’t like hearing this.
He had the beauty stream to cultivate valuable fish and high-value vegetables, enough on their own to make him wealthy.
Moreover, the Shennong Scripture contained countless resources, just a small portion could make him rich beyond measure.
"Aunt Thirteen, hearing you say this. If I want to retaliate against the Eight Immortals Hall, I’d have to take down all their companies." Luo Yang said.
Aunt Thirteen giggled for a long time, genuinely gleeful, not a contrived chuckle.
After laughing, Aunt Thirteen said coldly: "Kid, you’d have to be quite immature to say something like that. The Eight Immortals Hall has more than a dozen publicly listed companies, each a large corporation. Hundreds more unlisted. Unless you’re an Immortal, you can’t make all the Eight Immortals Hall’s companies go bankrupt."
Luo Yang sneered: "Aunt Thirteen, it’s all about human effort. We’ll see. As long as I’m alive, the Eight Immortals Hall won’t have an easy time!"
Even if Aunt Thirteen knew his thoughts, it didn’t matter.
"Kid, in Honghai County there’s a company under the Eight Immortals Hall called Xiangyang Technology Company. If you can take down that company first, Grandma Gu will admire you!"
Aunt Thirteen said with a smile.
