Chapter 1234 Dont be too Evil

Xia Youluo was lying on her bed quietly . Her face still had tearstains on them . Her eyes were closed, and she looked like she had simply cried herself to sleep .

But right now, her heart had already stopped, and her spiritual fluctuations had disappeared . The lively and cute girl had become a lifeless body .

Xia Yuyang, the white-haired elder, Xia Yunchong, Xia Yunfeng, and the others were all present . Xia Yunchong was crying as he held his little sister, unable to believe this reality .

Xia Yuyang was holding a piece of paper with beautiful lines of words on it . After reading through those words, Xia Yuyang closed his eyes in pain .

Xia Youluo had said that this time, so many of the Grand Xias experts had died because of her . Her brothers Dao-heart had also been destroyed, severing his cultivation path . She blamed herself .

She felt herself to be a disgrace to the Grand Xias imperial family, and she was too ashamed to face her father, brothers, or sisters . She was also too ashamed to face the commoners . Only by dying could she retrieve the Grand Xias imperial familys dignity .

How could you be so foolish?! This wasnt your fault! Xia Yunchong held Xia Youluo, weeping . Xia Youluo was the little sister he had doted on the most . He would rather he have died than her . But now, he was unable to do anything .

In the end, it was still impossible to escape this calamity? Xia Yuyang sighed in pain . Originally, he had thought the calamity had already passed . But in the end, calamities werent so easily avoided .

Its alright, stop crying . Youluo hasnt died . Shes just in a state of quasi death, said Long Chen suddenly .

Everyone was startled to hear that . Right now, her spiritual fluctuations had completely vanished . How could this possibly be a quasi death state?

Let me! Long Chen sat beside Xia Youluos bed . Seeing the tears on her face, he couldnt help but sigh .

Why bother? This matter was not Xia Youluos fault at all . The Grand Han had long since laid down this trap . Even without her, the Grand Xia wouldnt have escaped their losses .

By being captured, the only one she had implicated was Xia Yunchong, but she had foolishly thought that everyone had lost their precious time to run away because they had been waiting for her, which was why they had died .

Long Chen pressed his hand against her forehead . He had just raised his left hand when he awkwardly said, Uncle Xia, maybe you should all back up a bit . Youluo stopped her own heart, and I have to restart it

Cultivators dont have so many misgivings . Go ahead! Xia Yuyang knew what Long Chen was saying, but he didnt care . As long as he could save her, the rest wasnt important .

Long Chen could only continue . He took out a drop of the divine life elixir for her and then placed his right hand gently over her chest .

Xia Youluo had severed her heart muscles . This was the suicide method most cultivators chose . With the heartbeat stopped, a person would slowly fall unconscious, and in the end, their soul would dissipate without the slightest pain .

Long Chen needed to reconnect her heart muscles . This was not difficult with the divine life elixir . But with her spiritual fluctuations gone, reviving her was something even a god couldnt do .

Everyone was holding their breaths as they watched Long Chen work . Xia Yunchongs fists were clenched tightly, his palms sweaty . He hoped Long Chen really could create a miracle and revive Xia Youluo .

You dont need to be so nervous . Youluo definitely wont die . In the ancient remnant, I already sensed her mental state was a bit off, so I gave her two pills at that time . One was a healing pill, while the other was a Nine Revolution Rebirth Pill . When she committed suicide, as her life energy faded, the Nine Revolution Rebirth Pill automatically took effect, harboring her soul within the Niwan, allowing it to enter the most primal state . So you cant sense her spiritual fluctuations, and when she wakes up, her soul will feel weak for a while . But after this rebirth, her mental state will have risen .

If you talk to her then, she wont continue being so stubborn and thinking this is all her fault . Im sorry I didnt tell you earlier, but I didnt know she would really do this . I only gave her the Nine Revolution Rebirth Pill to guard against all possibilities, said Long Chen as he worked .

Hearing his explanation, they all had an urge to prostrate themselves toward him . It was all thanks to how meticulous Long Chen was that Xia Youluo hadnt died this time .

Long Chens hand began to shine as Spiritual Strength entered Xia Youluos head . At this moment, her head shook slightly and her spiritual fluctuations returned .

Although Long Chen had told them not to worry, seeing her spiritual fluctuations actually return allowed them to all relax .

Her soul had revived, and her heart was once more beating . This kind of short-term quasi death state posed no harm to her .

Alright, let Youluo sleep for a while . Later, have someone watch over her to talk her around when she wakes up . Now brother Yunchongs Undefeatable Dao has returned, so she has even less reason to feel guilty . Furthermore, she really doesnt need to feel any guilt for what happened in the Four Nations Ancient Remnant . It should be an easy misunderstanding to fix . Long Chen stood and stretched .

Ill look after her . Xia Yunchong was the first to open his mouth . Xia Youluos suicide this time had made him feel even more dearly for her .

It should be me . I owe this child Youluo too much . Dont fight with me over this . Xia Yuyang sat beside Xia Youluo, rubbing her head gently . He was filled with shame .

Living in the imperial family was sometimes sorrowful . Whether it was the emperor, the princes, or the princesses, living like that was a kind of sorrow . They couldnt even enjoy the feeling of familial love like others .

Seeing Xia Yuyang personally volunteer to look after Xia Youluo, Xia Yunchong didnt argue . He left with Long Chen and the others .

The next day, as Long Chen had predicted, all kinds of propaganda disparaging him began to spread .

Long Chen was a Heaven-Seizer, Long Chen was a homicidal maniac, Long Chen intentionally drew a disaster to the Grand Xia, Long Chen wanted the Grand Xia destroyed, Long Chen was an evil star . All kinds of rumors spread .

The streets were filled with countless people discussing this . Through the full power of the Pill Towers dogs, all kinds of proof spread, and the public opinion toward Long Chen grew worse and worse . Some people unrelated to the Pill Tower were already starting to call for Long Chen to leave the Grand Xia .

There was even a large group of the Grand Xias original inhabitants that were shouting in the streets for Long Chen to scram .

Long Chen merely smiled and said it was fine . Having the Grand Xias commoners make some extra income was fine . These people were all bought by the Pill Tower, and it seemed they had been bought at quite a high price .

Long Chen even had Xia Yuyang tell the guards that if they had nothing else to do, they could also join that group . Of course, they would have to ask for a slightly higher price . After all, they had a special status .

When Xia Yuyang heard Long Chen wanted him to do this, he was absolutely flabbergasted . But after asking around, he found out it really was the truth . These commoners were all being paid a shocking price .

Xiantian experts were paid a hundred middle grade spirit stones for one day of shouting . Sea Expansion experts were given one thousand middle grade spirit stones, and Foundation Forging experts were given ten yuan spirit stones a day .

Damn, they really are rich! I even want to bring my brothers from the Xuantian Dao Sect to join in . Theyll shout enough to make them bankrupt . Long Chen couldnt help but curse when he heard the price .

It was unknown what the price was for Jade Core or Soul Transformation experts . But looking at the previous prices, it was definitely not low .

Long Chen, what should we do? This truly is an enticing work . Even Xia Yunchong was affected by this bait .

Lets do this: starting tomorrow, announce that theres a curfew at night . If they still want to shout, theyll have to pay a noise tax . The tax will be in accordance with a persons cultivation base . Theres no need to take that much; just half is enough, said Long Chen .

A fifty percent tax?! Thats not that much to you?! Xia Yunchong was speechless . He had never heard of such a heavy tax . This was too evil .

Even if it was higher, theyd continue shouting . Furthermore, the Pill Towers people have plenty of money . Not making a killing off them would be a waste . Tell the guards to join, and tell them its time for their families to get rich . We cant let the wealth go to others . Furthermore, itll make it easier to control .

Once more people join in, start raising the price . If they refuse to pay, have your people stop shouting, and since theyre not allowed to shout, the others also wont be allowed to shout . If they dont accept the prices, the guards will beat up whoever shouts .

As for the price, dont raise it too fast . Just raise it once every few hours, and only raise it by ten percent . Remember, dont be too evil! said Long Chen .

Raising it ten percent every few hours wasnt too evil? Xia Yunchong wasnt able to keep up with Long Chens thoughts .

Is this really possible? Xia Yunchong had never done something like this, and he had no confidence in it .

Dont worry, according to my years of conning people, this matter has a one hundred percent chance of succeeding . This is your territory . If you didnt con them, wouldnt you be looking down on them? How would you face the commoners of your Grand Xia? You should hurry with this, because after a while, the Pill Tower will be forced to scram, and there wont be another chance like this to get rich . Under Long Chens urging, Xia Yunchong thickened his skin and went to see the guards .

During the next little bit, the people funding the shouting encountered a great misfortune . The Grand Xia was collecting taxes, and whether people wanted to or not, they had to pay . Those shouters naturally refused for this tax to come out of their own pockets, so the price naturally rose .

Furthermore, not only was the price increasing, but even more and more people were joining in on the shouting . The amount of money required to pay them rose slowly, so the backers reduced the number of paid shouters to cut down their expenses .

As a result, all of those shouters protested, saying that they wouldnt shout if they didnt bring out enough money for everyone . They were extraordinarily united .

If those people didnt shout, they would have failed the mission that the Pill Tower gave them . As a result, those sects that had been ordered to carry out this mission gathered up their resources to pay them . A single sect would be unable to bear such a price .

But they were infuriated to find that more and more people were joining in on the shouting, and they couldnt refuse them . If they refused, the rest would all stop shouting in protest . And there were too many of them, and they refused to allow others to shout if they werent .

There was no way the payers dared to use force against them within the Grand Xia . Either they brought out more and more money, or there would be no shouting . Eventually, there came a day when several million people were there to receive their pay, and every few hours, they would inflate the price . They didnt even shout that much . Most of the time, they were only coming to them for their pay, making the employers infuriated . The Grand Xias people were absolutely shameless!

But this was the mission the Pill Tower gave them . If they failed at it, they would not only have failed at currying favor, but they would even be kicked away .

So those sects could only clench their teeth and bear the pain . They continued paying a huge amount of money each day . Inside, they prayed for Long Chen to hurry up and leave, or theyd end up bankrupt .

But today, Long Chen leisurely went to see Xia Youluo . She had woken up today .
