Chapter 716 No Underhanded Tactics

This year's sect competition only ranked the Xiaoyao Sect. In addition, Jiang He's identity was revealed after she pulled the flag, which caused her popularity to soar. There was also the matter of Bai Zhizhou building a spirit network in the secret realm. The Xiaoyao Sect alone contributed a lot of popular moments in the sect competition.

Basically, all kinds of celebrity bloggers and short video bloggers are taking advantage of Xiaoyao Sect.

When they heard that the five members of the Xiaoyao Sect were in Zhongzhou, many cultivators gathered to join in the fun.

The streets, which had been mostly empty, were once again packed with people.

"Where is Jiang He? I'd like to take a picture with her."

"You have to queue up for photos, don't push."

"Holy crap, I just saw it on SkyTrain and immediately sent it to my best friend."

"What are they doing here? And why are they getting into a fight with a Heavenly Rank family?"

"I didn't even know the territory across the street belonged to a Heavenly Rank family if you hadn't told me."

"But I just listened to the whole thing, and I heard the leader, Jiang He, say that this land belongs to the Xiaoyao Sect, not the Rui family."

"Is that so? Are they discussing land ownership now?"

"That's not right. Haven't you overlooked something? How could the Free and Unfettered Sect possibly own land in the Central Plains? Isn't their base in Yangzhou? And there's no mention online that the Free and Unfettered Sect is wealthy."

"I don't know, that's what everyone's saying."

"Whether the Xiaoyao Sect is rich or not is still a mystery. If you say they are rich, the canteen on the mountain where the sect is located has not been built yet. I heard that the Weapon Sect came to help build it. If you say they are poor, the Xiaoyao Sect provides free spiritual food for cultivators and gives them high-grade pills when they join the sect. Most importantly, they also have land in Zhongzhou. It's a contradiction."

"I tend to believe that the land in Zhongzhou belongs to the Rui family. Putting aside the spiritual food and high-grade pills, do you think the Xiaoyao Sect is the kind of people who can afford to buy a piece of land in Zhongzhou? Land in Zhongzhou is incredibly valuable; even a toilet there could cost as much as a mansion in Yangzhou. Sometimes you should think before you speak."

“Jiang He and the others have no reason to lie, otherwise it’s because you’re giving the wrong information.”

"This amusement park has been quite low-key since its establishment. However, since I live here, I specifically looked into it. It's the largest amusement park complex in our Area A. Now that it's said to belong to the Xiaoyao Sect, I really don't believe it. If it belongs to the Xiaoyao Sect, how was this land approved? There must be some documents, right?"

"Finally, someone who understands. The Rui family can build in this area because they have all the necessary documents, including land ownership certificates. The fact that they can build here means that the land belongs to the Rui family. As for the Xiaoyao Sect, is this a forced sale or robbery?"

"Tsk tsk, you people really have no judgment at all. I'll just say one thing: who owned Gu Xing back then? Was it the Rui family?"

"That happened so many years ago. Back then, it wasn't the Rui family's cultivators who invaded Ancient Star."

"What a good dog that speaks up for its master, it's adept at turning black into white."

"Who are you calling a dog?"

“I didn’t say whoever answered was right.”

"Ha ha……"

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen myself identify with this description. I'm getting anxious."

"What's the point of arguing? The argument has escalated from online to offline. As for land ownership, just see who can produce the land deed. That should tell you who owns it. It's such a simple matter, there's no need for any reasoning."

Many cultivators watched the spectacle, and quite a few pointed and whispered about Rui Youxiang and the others.

Normally, people just gossip online, becoming enthusiastic gossip enthusiasts. But now, they can enjoy the gossip in person, and everyone is incredibly excited.

The old sects that have returned to the spotlight are now locked in a fierce battle with the old Heavenly Rank families. There is no scene more exciting than this.

Jiang He knew that more and more people were gathering, and this was exactly the kind of scene she needed.

She has powerful backers, but those backers become less effective if used too often.

The Heavenly Clan is too powerful; her current strength is insufficient to shake it.

Their Xiaoyao Sect has powerful cultivators at the Mahayana stage, as does the Rui family, a Heavenly Rank family. Moreover, the Rui family loves to play power games, and there are other Heavenly Rank families besides the Rui family.

Furthermore, since there are many Nascent Soul stage cultivators in her family, Jiang He dared to confront them head-on precisely because of the momentum of the sect's grand competition.

The Free and Unfettered Sect was at the height of its fame, and many cultivators knew her.

They used the momentum of the sect competition to recruit more people.

The power of the masses is always the strongest, and besides, Wanqi Jingyan loves to manipulate chess pieces; what if these chess pieces weren't chess pieces?

Jiang He is going to overturn the chessboard today.

The Myriad Spirits Empire suppresses powerful families, but rarely takes action against Heavenly Rank families. Rather than saying they dare not, it's more accurate to say they don't want to.

Emperors have always played the game of checks and balances.

Now, Jiang He is going to expose the true face and scandals of the Tianjie family.

She didn't know if other families would take advantage of her, but the Bei Ming family, who were her rivals, certainly would.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang He didn't play dirty tricks, only open ones:

"You have one minute to evacuate with your people. After one minute..."

Jiang He pointed her sword at everyone in front of her.

Looking at the sword in Jiang He's hand, Rui Youxiang began to have second thoughts.

The strength of the newcomer should not be underestimated.

Dongfang Xiao was at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, yet he died so mysteriously.

This person has good methods.

Besides...

This was the first time Rui Youxiang had been surrounded by so many people. He didn't know where these people had gotten their information from, but they kept mentioning terms like "Xiaoyao Sect," "Jiang He," and "Sect Grand Competition."

If Rui Youxiang still doesn't understand the situation after seeing this, he shouldn't be doing it anymore.

Rui Youxiang broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't watched this year's sect competition, but he knew about the top-ranked Xiaoyao Sect and the flag-puller.

I was wondering what kind of background these cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect had that could defeat Dongfang Xiao, who was at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Now it seems that it was undoubtedly those five people.

Sweating profusely, Rui Youxiang had already pushed the person in his arms away. He was currently preoccupied with his own problems and could not possibly give up the amusement park. As the person in charge, Rui Youxiang naturally knew who owned the land.

Actually, the ownership doesn't belong to the Rui family, but they can't withstand Wanqi Jingyan's strict investigations over the years, so they can't get many pieces of the pie.

The family elders set their sights on some unclaimed lands.

In interstellar space, any unclaimed land belongs to the royal family. When Rui Youxiang talks about unclaimed land, he usually refers to land that has an owner but appears to be unclaimed.

These lands belong to individuals, but most of the landowners have passed away, and the land has not been transferred, so the land has been left uncultivated.

The project that Rui Youxiang was in charge of was not originally located on this land. They only turned their attention to Area A because they couldn't find a suitable and large enough piece of land.

During construction, Rui Youxiang knew that the access to this place was unknown, so he used his connections to smooth things over with all parties before secretly starting construction.

He just didn't expect that the Free and Unfettered Sect would actually come knocking on his door.
