Indestructible God King - Chapter 120.1
Chapter 120.1 She Tianba’s Frustration (1/2)
Zhu Cultivation Town, Gongyi Teahouse!
Wang Ke sat on the master chair with crossed legs inside the main hall. He sipped his tea while listening to the shopkeeper’s report.
“It’s this serious now?” Wang Ke asked with narrowed eyes.
“Yes. Zhu Yan was demonized; the Great Qing Empire collapsed. The entire empire is in a mess!” The shopkeeper affirmed and continued saying, “All the clans were mustering up their army to fight for power. Although our clan was rather ahead, some of the other clans have strong backings. Plus, some of their seniors are already in the immortal sects. So within the empire’s territory, multiple forces rose to power! We are quite lucky to occupy the Qing Capital. But we don’t have the greatest advantage!”
Wang Ke sipped at his tea and said with a frown, “I’ve studied the mortal zone’s history. The same thing happened to every empire that fell! It’s usually because the pillar of the empire fell! And then each to his own!”
“Clan Lord, She Tianba returned to Zhu Cultivation Town three days ago as well!” The shopkeeper reported.
“She Tianba?” Wang Ke was surprised.
This old brat is still alive?
“Yes. She Tianba is currently helping a military clan with the surname of Zi. He came to Zhu Cultivation Town to recruit Innate Stage cultivators as generals to fight for the clan!” That shopkeeper explained further.
“Recruiting Innate Stage cultivator to fight in the mortal zone?” Zhang Zhengdao was shocked.
“This is not unusual. It has always been, based on the history books I read! The collapse of one empire is the birth of another. Every empire had immortal sects backing them up! It’s just that even the immortal sects differed in righteous or demonic. That’s why immortal sect disciples are not allowed to fight wars in the mortal zone. Or else the war would be endless! Since they cannot recruit fighters from the immortal sects, they turn their eyes toward the cultivation towns! As long as they pay, why can’t they do that? The cultivators in the cultivation towns needed to live as well. Even if military clans in the mortal zone can’t afford them, their immortal sects’ backings could provide them with enough resources!” Wang Ke explained.
“I didn’t know they could do that!” Zhang Zhengdao commented in astonishment.
“Why not? It’s a war! Whoever defeats all its enemies wins!” Wang Ke said it as a matter of course.
“Wouldn’t that mean your big cousin-brother is at a huge disadvantage?” Zhang Zhengdao asked.
“Why so? The other clans can recruit cultivators. Why do you think we can’t? They have money, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have it! I can throw money at them until they die!” Wang Ke said in disdain.
“Throw money?” Zhang Zhengdao said, feeling surprised.
This is Wang Ke’s style.
“Oh yeah. Since She Tianba is helping that Zi Clan to recruit Innate Stage cultivators, do you know how much he pays?” Wang Ke asked.
“Preliminary Innate Stage, five hundred pounds of spirit stones! Intermediate Innate Stage, six hundred pounds! Advanced Innate Stage, seven hundred pounds!” That shopkeeper answered.
“Five hundred, six hundred, and seven hundred? This is the market price. But the thing is, ending war cannot be done within a short time.” Wang Ke nodded.
“Then what about you? How much money are you willing to throw in?” Zhang Zhengdao asked curiously.
“Hmm, to recruit Innate Stage fighters… Preliminary, a hundred pounds of spirit stones! Intermediate ones, a hundred and fifty pounds each! For Advance ones, let’s go with two hundred pounds! Sounds about right!” Wang Ke said after a short analysis.
Zhang Zhengdao opened his eyes wide like a saucer, “Wang Ke, am I hearing something wrong? Their pricing started with five hundred, but yours begins only at one hundred? And the highest you are willing to pay is only two hundred? You call that ‘throwing’ your money in?” Where the hell is your conscience?”
“You know nothing. A hundred pounds is already a luxury. They need to learn contentment.” Wang Ke shot him a stare and said.
“Are you nuts, or am I? You are only offering a hundred pounds, yet you expect Innate Stage cultivators to risk their lives for you?” Zhang Zhengdao said in bewilderment.
“Learn from me. Let me show you how I recruit tomorrow. I might not even need to spend anything; I will probably even earn some money!” Wang Ke shook his head and said.
“Bullsh*t. Do you take them as fools? They are heading toward the mortal zone to risk their lives! They could die any moment! And you expect them to go for free? No, from the way you said it just now, you expect them to pay you for allowing them to do that! Stop bluffing!” Zhang Zhengdao blasted at Wang Ke in disbelief.
“Just wait and see!” Wang Ke said, shaking his head.
——————–
Zhu Cultivation Town, She Clan!
The last time Wang Ke brought men to the She Clan for trouble, they ignited a battle between the righteous and the demonic faction. The battle turned the She Tianba’s residence into rubble. But, it was rebuilt after a short time.
Because of She Tianba, the She Clan broke apart like loose grains of sand. Some members left Zhu Cultivation Town, and others remained. Without She Tianba, the She Clan members became much more restrained. But now that he had returned and started giving out money, their lives became comfortable again.
Although they had yet to clear the debt to the major clans, they had a plan.
Most importantly, She Tianba managed to break through to the Golden Core Stage for some reason.
“Baaaam!”
A stream of air burst out from She Tianba’s skin while he was cultivating.
She Tianba, who was at the Golden Core Stage Level One, emanated a powerful aura.
The She Clan members who passed by him looked excited. Now that our Clan Lord is at the Golden Core, no one in Zhu Cultivation Town will be able to stop us!
The fifteen hundred thousand pounds of spirit stones that they owed the other clan lords was not hopeless for a Golden Core Stage cultivator to repay. Moreover, She Tianba found another backing.
“Stabilized your cultivation?” A man in black said, sitting and sipping his tea in the main hall.
“Yes!” She Tianba nodded, “ All thanks to the Parlor Lord and his gracious gift!”
“The Parlor Lord gave you so much blood essence to help you breakthrough. You must not forget this. Now that the Parlor Lord’s grand-nephew is fighting to rule over the mortal zone, you must remember your mission to recruit Innate Stage cultivators! But look, I don’t think you have recruited many!” The man in black asked.
“I have talked it out with the major clans!” She Tianba replied.
“Humph, the Parlor Lord gave you fifteen hundred pounds of spirit stones. Have you used them all to clear your debt?” The man asked.
And She Tianba replied, “I promised the Parlor Lord to bring back two hundred Innate Stage cultivators, and I will do it. Do you think it’s that easy to recruit them? The replacement of empires in the mortal zone means war! It’s a matter of life and death. Even Innate Stage cultivators from the cultivation towns dare not rush into it recklessly because they would be risking their lives! Also, I need to filter out those who come to deceive me of the money. Do you think it’s that easy? Why don’t you do it?”
“Humph. If I can do it, what’s the need for you?” That man in black said, “ If I’m the one recruiting, I would be representing the demonic sect! How can I interfere! I’m here to supervise you. Don’t even think about taking the money and running away!”
“I? Take the money and run? Do you think I’m that bast*rd, Wang Ke?” She Tianba said hatefully.
Even today, She Tianba could not forget how much trouble Wang Ke brought into his life.
“Wang Ke? He really throws me off. Such a freak! Everyone in the demonic sect is talking about him. The Demonic Sovereign even made him the Divine Dragon Branch Lord! Damn, how did he find his way into the Heavenly Wolf Sect? Also, not long ago, I heard that he opened a business. Even the Heavenly Wolf Sect Lord went to support him? Freak, such a freak!” The man in black commented.

“He’s just a liar!” She Tianba loathed.
But the man in black warned him, saying, “You can say such things in front of me, but you have to be more careful in the demonic sect. He is the Divine Dragon Branch Lord, and your ancestral aunt She Qingqing is under his command!”
She Tianba was filled with hatred!
He could not understand why his ancestral aunt would lose her mind and hold the Nether Demon Assembly! And now, she lost her position as the Fifth Parlor Lord. Also, he somehow felt that he offended her, and she could no longer be his backing. She even became Wang Ke’s subordinate. Damn, what’s wrong with everything!
“I feel that you guys should investigate Wang Ke thoroughly. He’s definitely suspicious of receiving so much support from the righteous faction!” She Tianba urged.
