Chapter 2943 Complain
"It's not that I don't have savings, it's just that compared with the gap in the sect...it's a drop in the bucket, Palace Master." Elder Xu looked at Li Jiao timidly, with a embarrassed look on his face.
"That's right, Palace Master, even if we old fellows take out all our wealth, we won't be able to last long."
"How long can you last?" Li Jiao persuaded earnestly, "It's enough to get through this difficult time. When the sect is more prosperous, you will definitely not be missing."
After Li Jiao said that, all the elders are embarrassed to continue to decline. After all, what Li Jiao said is true. Everyone has been promoted to Emperor Senior Stage for so long, and they have some savings on hand. If these assets can be used, It can indeed alleviate the sect crisis.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and it was Elder Xu who was the first to say: "The suzerain is right. If this is the case, then I will set an example. I will contribute five million..."
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and Li Jiao looked at him with burning eyes.
Elder Xu sneered: "Middle-grade source crystal! This is almost all of the old man's possessions."
Li Jiao's face suddenly turned dark.
Five million middle-grade source crystals, when converted to only fifty thousand top-grade source crystals, what can this amount do? Moreover, it is impossible for an emperor elder who has been in charge of alchemy for hundreds of years to only have this little wealth.
"That's not right, Elder Xu." A black-faced man jumped out and shouted: "I see that you entertained guests a few days ago, and a pot of Wanhua brewing was worth 30,000 high-grade source crystals, which flowed from the medicine pill valley. If you only have this wealth, how can you afford it?"
His old background was exposed in person. Elder Xu's face turned red. He argued: "Then...the old man didn't buy it, it was brought by my friend, and I specially invited the old man to taste it together, so why did I buy it? The old man's offerings to the elders are only so small every year. My own cultivation is so-so, how can there be so many source crystals to buy Wanhua brew, don't you want to swear."
The black-faced man snorted coldly and said: "Elder Xu has no source crystals? Who would believe that? Elder Xu, you control the entire alchemy room of Lilong Palace. Every year, countless source crystals are lost from the palace master. , among other things, let’s say that there were six million high-grade source crystals the year before last, more than seven million the year before last, and eight million more. The total annual income of the sect is only 50 million. It will cost as much as one or two percent."
Elder Xu flicked his sleeves and said: "The old man said that the pill room is the most important thing in Lilong Palace. Which of the tens of thousands of disciples can practice without pills? It is normal to consume a lot."
The black-faced man sneered and said, "If those source crystals are really used to buy herbal medicines, that's all. Can Elder Xu guarantee that all the source crystals going from the Palace Master's place will be put into the operation of the alchemy room?"
Elder Xu suddenly became angry from embarrassment. He scolded, "You... what do you mean?"
The black-faced man snorted, "You know what you mean. When the sect was rich, it would be fine if it was embezzled and pocketed. Now that the sect is in trouble, shouldn't Elder Xu show one thing or two?"
"Secretary embezzlement, enriching one's own pocket!" Elder Xu immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. The whole body is full of emperor yuan. Da You wanted to immediately fight the black-faced man to show his innocence, he turned his head and charged at Li Jiao and said in grief and indignation: "Palace Master, someone has slandered and framed the old man, and I still want Palace Master to make the decision for me."
Li Jiao stood there numbly, as if he didn't hear Elder Xu's words.
Elder Xu turned his head and sneered at the black-faced man: "My alchemy's financial income and expenses are all accountable. I don't want to argue with you here. Is there any secret embezzlement and pocketing? There is a decision, but it's your organ room, I don't know if the bottom of the butt is clean!"
"How dare the old man bite back!" The black-faced man was furious.
"How dare you call me an old man. You bastard!"
"What's wrong with you, old thing, old thing, old thing!"
"..."
The two immediately quarreled, the rest of the elders were helping the fight, and some were trying to calm things down, the hall was in chaos, if Li Jiao was not still here, there might have been a big fight.
Li Jiao stared down coldly, wishing to sweep away all these annoying guys, trying to clean his ears and clean his ears. But he is the lord of the first palace after all, the decision in one thought is related to the survival of tens of thousands of disciples, even if there is anger in his heart, he can only suppress it forcibly, and find a way to solve the current crisis first.
With a creak, at this moment, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and a disciple walked in.
The noisy sound stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their attention to the disciple.
This disciple obviously didn't expect any wonderful things to happen in the hall before. What he saw was that the high-ranking elders were all red-faced and thick-necked at the moment, and the palace master stood at the top with a sneer on his face. Didn't dare to take a breath.
"What's the matter?" Li Jiao asked impatiently.
"Report to Palace Master, someone is asking to see you!" The disciple returned tremblingly.
"No!" Li Jiao was in a mess, and refused without thinking.
The disciple Rumeng pardoned him, and immediately wanted to withdraw.
But Li Jiao said again: "Who is asking to see?"
The disciple thought for a while and said, "That man calls himself Yang Kai!"
"What?" Li Jiao turned pale with shock when he heard the words, and the group of elders below were also stunned.
Then Elder Xu said: "Yang Kai? Could it be that Lingxiao Palace Palace Master?"
"If it's really him, then it would be interesting!" The black-faced man who had been arguing with Elder Xu just now had a dangerous light in his eyes, and he raised his head and said: "Palace Master, why not let that Yang Kai come in, he is not from the Dragon Palace. The creditor, we can have a good discussion with him about those debts."
"It's time! It's a coincidence that this person came, let him come in, Palace Mistress, what do you think?"
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Li Jiao's face as black as the bottom of a pot, apparently they didn't think everyone's idea was a good idea.
Li Jiao sighed: "Lingxiao Palace, you can't be provoked, so Yang Kai... can't be provoked either."
A group of elders were very unconvinced, because they heard that the lord of the Lingxiao Palace was only at the first level of Emperor Zun. Last time on his territory, his own lord and the lord of the Mitian Sect suffered a big loss. This time he dared to take the initiative I really don't know what the Palace Mistress is afraid of. As long as he is allowed to enter the hall and the door is closed, the huge debt will be settled in one go.
"Tell that person, my palace lord has gone out for a wandering trip and is not in the palace." Li Jiao waved his hand.
The disciple promised, but when he was about to turn around, there was a sneer from outside the door: "Brother Li is really putting on airs, my palace lord came to visit in person and didn't even give me a face?"
When the words fell, there were already two more figures in the hall.
Before these two people appeared, none of the emperors in the hall noticed, as if they were there. He was as red as fire, with a cold expression and haughty eyes. He was clearly standing on the ground, but he gave people the feeling that he was in the clouds, as if he was not in the same world as everyone present.
All the elders were startled, and all of them changed color.
Li Jiao's figure flickered even more, and he almost turned around to run away, finally suppressing the conflict in his heart, and looked at Yang Kai speechlessly.
Yang Kai looked up with a smile: "Brother Li wants to go out and wander?"
Li Jiao laughed dryly: "There is such a plan, but it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of whim, but since Palace Master Yang is here, Li can't leave naturally."
Yang Kai rubbed his chin and said: "I still have the mind to go out and travel, it seems that Palace Master Li is living a good life."
Li Jiao suddenly looked bitter and said: "Palace Master Yang, don't be joking, Li Mou's life these days... life is better than death."
A group of elders bowed their heads in embarrassment when they heard the words.
Yang Kai laughed and said: "Brother Li is really interesting, Li Longgong family has a great career, and Brother Li is even more powerful and powerful, how can life be worse than death?"
Li Jiaoxin said that it was not all caused by you, but he said with a smile on his face: "I don't know if Palace Master Yang is here today, what's your business?"
Yang Kai didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile.
Li Jiao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said: "This... this... Palace Master Yang is here to collect the money, right? Why do you do such trivial things yourself? Just let the servants do it, and I am away from Dragon Palace. I haven't forgotten the money for this year, but it will take some time to prepare it. When the preparations are complete, I will send it to Lingxiao Palace immediately, and there will be no delay. What's more...the deadline has not yet been reached!"
"When is the deadline, why don't I know? I think today is the deadline."
The cold sweat on Li Jiao's forehead became more intense: "Gongzhu Yang is really here to collect the money?"
He couldn't believe it, although Lilong Palace did owe Lingxiao Palace a large amount of source crystals, but Yang Kai came to collect the money in person, and entered without warning, which is a bit too much.
"You surnamed Yang, don't be arrogant!" The black-faced man in the crowd rushed out, poked Yang Kai and said: "Although I don't know what method you used to deceive the Palace Master, making me so hard-pressed to leave the Dragon Palace, but I miss you anyway. You can also be regarded as the lord of the first palace, and you can be regarded as a fellow in the Northern Territory. In the future, everyone will see you if you look up and look down. As long as you can make a written statement here, the two debts between you and me will be void, and I can still let you go. Otherwise... hum!"
Many Emperor Senior Stage looked towards Yang Kai with malicious intentions.
After seeing Yang Kai with their own eyes and confirming that he is indeed only at the first level of Emperor Senior, everyone naturally has nothing to be afraid of. No matter how strong the High Heaven Palace is, as long as Yang Kai can be restrained here, it is equivalent to controlling the High Heaven Palace, and the so-called debt is just a joke.
Li Jiao was sweating profusely and almost fainted.
Yang Kai glanced at the black-faced man, then at Li Jiao and said, "Is this your elder?"
"No!" Li Jiao categorically vetoed it. (To be continued.)
