Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 276 - 265
Li Hanqiu, Alkaid, and all the Golden Core Realm cultivators watched as Jiang Heavenly Venerable hurried over, yet departed just as quickly with a hint of panic, knowing in their hearts that this matter was far from over.
The Taiyi Immortal Sect’s True Transmission, yet it faced such a great humiliation…
Treating the lower position with the attitude that a superior from the Northern Sea Star should have, it would not be excessive to annihilate the entire Cangwu Great World as retaliation.
Although due to originating from the same Cangwu lineage, the likelihood of Jiang Heavenly Venerable annihilating the Cangwu Great World was very low, this result still left Susan, Yang Han, He La, and others both shocked and furious.
"You… how dare you…"
"Belonging to the same Cangwu lineage is our disgrace!"
"Nine Cauldrons Sect, you…"
These Golden Core cultivators yelled fiercely, their expressions far from the composure and serenity that a True Person of the Golden Core should possess, instead…
There was a sense of ferocious ugliness.
However, before they could continue, Li Hanqiu had already roared, "Silence!"
As a Hollow Void Realm powerhouse, the exquisite use of space allowed his Divine Sense to transmit this information, carrying with it a tangible sense of space, rolling oppressively, striking these Golden Cores, making them feel as if they had been hit by an entire world, involuntarily getting knocked back tens of thousands of miles.
At this moment, these Golden Cores suddenly realized that the Li Hanqiu before them was no longer a fellow Golden Core.
But a Hollow Void!
A pinnacle being who had completed the Sunburst Golden Core, Blazing White Golden Core, and Deep Blue Golden Core, taking three leaps in one go to step into the Hollow Void Realm!
In an environment like that of the Northern Sea Star…
If they dared to provoke a Hollow Void like him, they would probably have become corpses by now.
For a moment, Susan, Yang Han, He La, and the others were silent as cicadas in winter, their hearts filled with thousands of grievances and numerous resentments against Li Hanqiu and Alkaid of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, yet they dared not show even a bit of it at this moment.
Instead, Miller, Lu Xi, Qiao An, and others who had never lived in the Northern Sea Star still had the courage to say, "Jiang Heavenly Venerable essentially represented our Cangwu lineage’s will, but as things stand, the Nine Cauldrons Sect seems unwilling to continue to associate with our Cangwu lineage, thus… please have the Nine Cauldrons Sect leave Cangwu Great World and seek better prospects elsewhere."
Li Hanqiu swept his gaze over these Golden Cores.
Wan Liugui had given him a piece of information in a hurry before he left.
Telling them to leave Cangwu Great World as quickly as possible and head to the Northern Sea Star.
Only by going to the Northern Sea Star could they grow rapidly and someday achieve the Hollow Void, truly possessing the power to protect themselves.
The message contained coordinates and a map.
The coordinates were where the Northern Sea Star was located.
The map…
Was retreat routes Wan Liugui searched for when entering the Northern Sea Star.
This type of retreat was also prepared by members of the other major Immortal Sects, in case they could no longer survive in the Taiyi Immortal Sect and were expelled, at least they would have a place to stay.
This kind of retreat would be extremely secret to any Hollow Void.
At this point, Wan Liugui had informed Li Hanqiu of it…
It seemed he was already making the worst plans.
Realizing that he might implicate his own master, Li Hanqiu was in a rather foul mood. He swept his gaze over the Golden Cores present and said firmly, "We will leave on our own, there’s no need for you to worry about it."
He nodded at Alkaid.
Alkaid also used the Void Divine Realm to inform Li Qingshan.
Within ten days, all who were willing to leave were to gather in Red City and leave as a group.
However, after conveying this order, he "looked" at the many industries within the Nine Cauldrons Sect, the numerous cities, each of the modified Spirit Gathering Arrays that produced six hundred million in spirit measure annually, and those unmovable equipments, Patrol Heaven Warships…
His gaze then directly fell on Miller, Lu Xi, Qiao An, and others who planned to leave: "Since the Nine Cauldrons Sect is planning to depart, these foundations left behind are ultimately handed over to you all. Shouldn’t you offer some compensation to our Nine Cauldrons Sect?"
Li Hanqiu looked at Alkaid somewhat surprised, about to say something when his Divine Sense already appeared in his perception.
"Real Person Li, please cooperate with me. What I am about to do…"
He quickly expressed his plan.
After listening, Li Hanqiu subtly nodded.
At that moment, Qiao An couldn’t help snorting coldly, "Compensation! You still have the nerve to ask for compensation!"
But before he could finish, Susan quickly interrupted him through Divine Sense transmission.
She looked at Li Hanqiu somewhat fearfully, while also profoundly realizing the audacity of these Golden Core elders of hers.

These people were going to the Northern Sea Star...
They would inevitably offend important figures with their words, be directly killed, their Golden Cores dug out and sold in the market, and possibly even drag their own Sects into destruction.
After stopping Qiao An, she immediately said, "Alright, the assets left by the Nine Cauldrons Sect are indeed valuable, and it would be appropriate to give some compensation, after all, we are from the same Cangwu lineage and share some kinship bonds. Don’t take things too far."
Although Qiao An was somewhat puzzled, he still settled down and asked in a stern voice, "What compensation do you want?"
"Let’s do the math then."
Alkaid calmly said, "We will only take one production line of Flying Swords, but we’ll leave almost all the Warship production lines behind, including the Fourth Generation Patrol Heaven Warship line. Add to that the territory of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, the vast manpower, subordinate worlds, and the astounding annual Spirit Stone output... I’ll calculate the income from these Spirit Stones for fifty years, all things considered... I’ll give you a discount, four hundred billion, to buy the Nine Cauldrons Sect, how about that?"
"Four hundred billion!?"
Qiao An nearly thought he had heard wrong when Alkaid mentioned this number.
"Is four hundred billion a lot? It’s not just your Limitless Star Palace paying, but all the sects that plan to divide the Nine Cauldrons Sect in the future."
Alkaid indifferently said, "Given the current value of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, even without the most precious talents, four hundred billion is a bargain."
"This is impossible!"
Lu Xi couldn’t help but retort, "Do you even know the status of the Spirit Stone production capacity in the entire Cangwu Great World? The entire Cangwu Great World only produces a little over thirty billion Spirit Stones a year, four hundred billion! That’s equivalent to more than a decade of the total annual output of Spirit Stones in the Cangwu Realm."
"Are you even listening to yourself, how can you demand a price of four hundred billion!? Why don’t you just rob us!?"
Lin Deng couldn’t help but chime in as well.
Seeing the fierce reactions of various Golden Core and Dharma Phase members, Alkaid calmly stated, "I was trying to have a good business talk with you, but since you refuse to negotiate, I can only regretfully tell you... you guessed right."
His indifferent expression suddenly turned detached, "Yes, I am robbing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hanqiu had already stepped forward, his Hollow Void Level devouring power emanating from his fingertips, a foreboding dark force rapidly taking shape that seemed capable of tearing apart and crushing everything, greatly distorting and interfering with the nearby stellar space.
Even the various Golden Cores situated thousands of miles away felt their forms being pulled towards the dark devouring power at his fingertips, as if falling into it.
At this moment, Miller, Qiao An, and others suddenly realized that the person standing before them was no longer the same level as them; he was no longer the Sunburst Golden Core who could only fight desperately by staking everything.
He was a Hollow Void!
One who could slaughter all thirty-odd Golden Cores without much difficulty.
Even...
With his power, killing all their Golden Cores might not even cause his Chaos Void to collapse immediately, leading to death.
At most, it would slightly shorten his already short lifespan.
Realizing this, the crowd of Golden Cores quickly calmed down.
After a while, upon subtle signs from many Golden Cores, Ye Lin from the Myriad Beasts Sect, who had good relations with the Nine Cauldrons Sect, transmitted with her Divine Sense, "True Person Li... We are all part of the Cangwu Great World; do we really have to go to this extent?"
"We just want to leave the Cangwu Great World, not to seek death,"
Li Hanqiu said.
As he spoke, he added, "Besides, Alkaid was right. With such an extensive foundation, isn’t our Nine Cauldrons Sect worth these four hundred billion?"
"Don’t you have any idea in your heart whether it’s worth it or not?"
Eighteen Golden Cores couldn’t help but complain at that moment.
But...
They’ve already said they would start robbing, what could they do?
The Nine Cauldrons Sect was already planning to leave the Cangwu Great World; if they really angered them, they could simply destroy the Cangwu Great World, and then they could only cry without tears.
"Four hundred billion... I’m afraid no power can produce so many Spirit Stones,"
Ye Lin said.
"If there aren’t enough Spirit Stones, we can make up the difference with Spiritual Treasures. In addition, some precious Artifact Refining materials, Elixirs, and Heavenly Earth Treasures can also fill in for Spirit Stones,"
Alkaid spoke and added, "Among these, we can overpay for Spiritual Treasures and Artifact Refining materials."
Li Hanqiu, following Alkaid’s instructions, began to name names, "I recall that the Limitless Star Palace still has a few top-tier Spiritual Treasures, we can offer a price of one or two billion Spirit Stones for these top-tier items. The Immortal Alliance and other powers probably still have one or two top-tier Spiritual Treasures as well, right? I know somewhat of your capabilities; these Spiritual Treasures all added up, along with the top materials, Elixirs, and Heavenly Earth Treasures, four hundred billion shouldn’t entirely deplete your resources."

After saying this, he added, "You also said, we are all part of the Cangwu Great World, there’s no need to take it this far."
The Golden Cores exchanged looks, bitterness in their hearts.
This amount of assets taken out indeed wouldn’t bankrupt them but were certainly debilitating.
But...
Considering the situation was more powerful than people, a Hollow Void War Immortal...
A Hollow Void War Immortal who planned to leave Cangwu and could live only a few more years loomed before them, wielding a sword, they could hardly refuse, much as they did not wish to.
A Hollow Void War Immortal agitated could do anything unusual.
The Golden Cores silently communicated with their Divine Sense.
After a while, it was Qiao An, full of bitterness and helplessness, who finally spoke, "Then, as True Person Li and True Person Alkaid suggested, we’ll scrape together, spending four hundred billion..."
At this point, he paused noticeably, everyone seeming to feel the pain in his heart.
"Four hundred billion to buy the Nine Cauldrons Sect."
