Chapter 318: Deceiving the Nine Nether Sect is a Dao Seeking Sect Tradition
“This Heavenly Court Sect is not well-known, yet its foundations are so deep?” The Fifth Elder gasped, having never heard of a Heavenly Court Sect before.
Seeing that the Fifth Elder was fooled, Lu Yang continued, “In addition to the aforementioned foundations, the Heavenly Court Sect will soon be expanding its recruitment. We already have two candidates, one with an innate Immortal Physique. The first person to become immortal in ancient times, Nonuple Immortal, achieved immortality because of an innate Immortal Physique.”
“The other candidate has the fortune of their entire clan, with overwhelming luck and dual cultivation in barbarism and Confucianism!”
“Fifth Elder, how about joining us?”
“Originally, our Heavenly Court Sect planned to take a long time to grow, so we could stand out in the Great Competition. However, the detestable Nine Nether Sect has set its sights on us, and we need a protector to help us deal with the Nine Nether Sect!”
Lu Yang clasped his hands solemnly and said, “If the Fifth Elder is willing to extend a helping hand to our Heavenly Court Sect this time, we will surely give you a great reward in the future!”
The Fifth Elder was silent for a moment. Just when Lu Yang thought the Fifth Elder was going to agree, he slowly asked:
“Has your Heavenly Court Sect registered with the court?”
Lu Yang was stunned: “Registered?”
“Yes, according to the laws of The Great Xia, the establishment of any power requires registration with the local government office. Unregistered entities are considered illegal operations and are severely cracked down on.”
“The former Four Major Demonic Sects, now the Three Major Demonic Sects, were never registered.”
Lu Yang: “...”
Seeing the silence of Lu Yang and the others, the Fifth Elder laughed heartily, “Alright, alright, just tell me the truth. What’s really going on?”
As one of the famous Nine Disciples of Dao Seeking, the Fifth Elder naturally wouldn’t be easily deceived by Lu Yang.
What ancient immortal inheritance and assistance from great families? He knew they were talking about themselves.
The fall of the Undying Sect left Lu Yang with the inheritance of the Everlasting Celestial.
Meng Jingzhou, as the eldest son of the Meng family, spent money that counted as aid from a great family.
Li Haoran’s past life, Qin Haoran, was at the half-step Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Qin Yanyan’s father was Qin Haoran, making her the first heir.
Lu Yang had no choice but to honestly recount the events, leaving the Fifth Elder amazed and his eyes gleaming.
“The Sect Leader embezzled a portion of the treasury, made even more money, but was still not satisfied. He ended up investing most of the treasury.”
“And then we absconded with the funds.”
“Don’t tell anyone about this. Not even your grandmaster knows about it.” The Fifth Elder reminded.
Qin Yanyan was puzzled, “Weren’t the Spirit Stones you used to return the profits from the Dao Seeking Sect? How could the grandmaster not know?”
The Fifth Elder shook his head, “We didn’t need Dao Seeking Sect’s money at all. The only time any Spirit Stones were used was when Eighth Junior Brother initially tricked the disciple using his own Spirit Stones.”
Qin Yanyan was even more confused.
The Fifth Elder patiently explained to his grand-disciple, “Think about it. When we returned the profits, weren’t there other Nine Nether Sect disciples investing in us?”
Qin Yanyan nodded.
“Then couldn’t we just use the Spirit Stones from the new investors to pay the previous ones?”
Qin Yanyan suddenly understood.
“Wait, isn’t this a scam?”
“I asked Eighth Junior Brother the same question. He said, ‘How can this be called a scam? We just had a business failure, and the investment funds were lost. It’s normal for businesses to have gains and losses.’”
“If they feel wronged, they can report us to the authorities. We have nothing to hide.”
“And besides, if anyone is guilty, it’s the Nine Nether Sect Sect Leader for embezzling the treasury.”
Qin Yanyan: “...”
Lu Yang noticed Li Haoran’s strange expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Li Haoran looked conflicted, “The Sect Leader who got scammed was so angry that he soon died. Then Qin Haoran took over as Sect Leader and discovered the Nine Nether Sect’s finances were in serious trouble.”
“The previous Sect Leader never found out who scammed him until his death.”
