Chapter 392 - Secret Love; Knowing the Truth (1)
What was the most important thing is life? Life itself!
As far as these old monsters were concerned, mystical stones and any treasures were all material goods. They couldn’t care less. They would happily give up every last one that was in their possession.
What was the point of holding onto all the materialistic goods if one no longer has one’s life? All the earthly possessions would just go to someone else.
If they could live, there was even less reason to hold on to these items, they could always acquire more.
Life was everything. With it, everything else was worthless!
All the old monsters were well aware of this point. Give or take, they’ve made their decisions immediately.
“Young Maiden Xiao Xiao, can you give us an idea how long it will take?” The old ancestor from Yuni Sect couldn’t help but to ask.
Time was the most precious for her as she has absolutely no control over it. She wanted this to happen sooner rather than later.
As for the other old monsters, even at the age of 300, they still have dozens of years in front of them. They could afford to wait longer, but not this old nun in front of them.
Cheng Xiao Xiao understood her situation and saw right through her. With a slight pause, she said, “Between 3- 6 months. Three months would be the absolute earliest. Don’t worry, no more than one year at the latest!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t want to give too short of a time period, nor could she. After all, she did worry that she wouldn’t be able to control these old monsters. She would feel much better if the dimension could level up more.
Not to mention the fact that she could very well become a martial monarch in 3-months’ time.
“Six months… one year….” The old nun pondered over it for a while and nodded finally. “That should not be a problem. I should be able to make another year or so.”
Nobody said a word, but they all know the implications of it all. Right now what they needed to do was collect the items and send them over as soon as possible.
“Valley Master Ji, Xiao Xiao have a favor to ask of you!”
Now that everything had laid open in front of them, Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t feel the need to beat around the bush anymore. She would bring up any requests that she had and why shouldn’t she?
Valley Master Ji was a bit surprised, but he asked with a smile, “Will this be concerning the tactical arrangement for Sacred Land Zhongyuan?”
“Valley Master Ji is so perceptive. That is exactly what I am about to bring up!” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao.
“Don’t worry about this. I will take care of it. This place will be airtight in no more than 6 months!”
All the Cheng’s members were happy upon hearing that.
No matter what, with the involvement of this old monster, the tactical arrangement would for sure be one of the best in the world.
Even all the members from the other Top 9 Sects looked at her enviously. Not very many people in this world would be able to ask Valley Master Ji for a favor, probably just the ones in the room at this moment.
“Thank you very much, Valley Master Ji!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao in an entitled manner.
And, after a moment of pondering, Valley Master Ji continued, “Now that you planned to carve this area out as your sacred land, my suggestion is to move the Willow villagers out. It is not a good idea to keep them within the area of the sacred land. They are not members of the Sacred Land Zhongyuan after all.”
When Valley Master Ji brought this up, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t have agreed more. As the Cheng’s continued to expand, it was undesirable to have the Willow villagers continued to stay where they are. And, not only them, they’d probably want to relocate villagers from within a 10-mile radius.
As time went on and Sacred Land Zhongyuan started to recruit more and more disciples, they would need more and more space. It would not be meaningful to keep these villagers around. Quite the contrary, they might bring out troubles in the future.
