The "Three Immortals Sword Sect" is righteous!
As the Emperor of the "Great New Dynasty," His Majesty "Wang Ge Bi" certainly couldn't be outdone.
Therefore, "Wang Ge Bi" waved his hand and "lavishly gifted" the "Three Immortals Sword Sect."
All sorts of spirit stones, elixirs, magical artifacts, talismans, and the like, filling a hundred "Sea Crossing Spirit Boats," set off grandly to be given to their good friends in the "Three Immortals Sword Sect."
What, "Wang Jiu Jiu" is dead?
He's dead, so he's dead!
Who told him to court death by provoking the "Dark Sword Sect"?
This sort of matter definitely couldn't be blamed on the good friends of the "Three Immortals Sword Sect."
"Wang Ge Bi" was very understanding. Not only did he not blame the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," but he also supplied them with a large quantity of supplies.
"Wang Ge Bi" had only one request: that the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" build the three "Merit Statues" as soon as possible.
...
The boundless outer sea.
The Three Immortals Sword Sect.
"True Master Zhi Chang" laughed heartily, filled with joy.
He looked at Qian Duoduo, who still wore a "harmless" smile, and said with great delight.
"Little friend Qian, you predicted it exactly! That's right, the Great New Dynasty not only didn't hold us accountable, but they sent us a hundred boats of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. We've struck it rich this time!"
Qian Duoduo smiled humbly.
"Hehe, this matter was handled properly by the three Sect Leaders, True Masters. I merely offered a little suggestion and dare not take any credit!"
"Immortal Sword Master Yu Hua" was also in a very good mood. He pointed at Qian Duoduo and said with a smile.
"Little friend Qian, you are good in every way, except you are too humble. Don't you know that excessive humility is pride!"
At this moment, "True Master Tian Zhao" picked up the conversation.
He said with a serious expression.
"Little friend Qian, stop being humble. This time, it was all thanks to your brilliant idea that we managed to get through it!"
After "Wang Jiu Jiu" was slain, the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" had no particularly good plan and could only choose to confront the "Great New Dynasty" head-on.
Yes, we killed him, come and hack us if you dare!
With the strength of the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," it was naturally impossible to contend with the "Great New Dynasty"; their strength was not on the same level.
However, "True Master Tian Zhao" and the others were not overly worried.
The "Three Immortals Sword Sect" was located deep in the "boundless outer sea," and it would be difficult for the "Great New Dynasty" to easily extend its claws over.
As long as it wasn't a full-scale invasion, the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" did not fear the sporadic attacks from the "Great New Dynasty."
However, being on bad terms with the "Great New Dynasty" would inevitably cause all sorts of trouble for the "Three Immortals Sword Sect."
If nothing else, business at "Three Immortals Port" would be greatly affected.
Without a safe and stable environment, business and commerce could not develop at all.
Therefore, if they could avoid falling out with the "Great New Dynasty," they should try not to.
On this point, "True Master Tian Zhao" and the others had no hope.
They had killed an imperial prince of the "Great New Dynasty"; how could the two sides possibly continue to maintain harmony and stability?
At this time, Qian Duoduo stepped forward.
He asked "True Master Tian Zhao" and the other two Sect Leaders to jointly send a "flying sword message" to "Wang Ge Bi."
The content of the "flying sword message" had two main points.
First, to frame the "Dark Sword Sect" for the death of "Wang Jiu Jiu."
Second, to promise "Wang Ge Bi" that the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" would continue to build the "Merit Statues."
Regarding the first point, "True Master Tian Zhao" found it easy to understand.
The "Dark Sword Sect" was known for killing without mercy and accumulating countless sins; attributing "Wang Jiu Jiu's" death to them was quite reasonable!
However, regarding the second point, "True Master Tian Zhao" and the others didn't quite understand.
What did this matter have to do with building "Merit Statues"?
Subsequently, Qian Duoduo provided a reasonable explanation.
"For Wang Ge Bi, the death of one Wang Jiu Jiu would not make him feel pained, nor would he even frown. After all, Wang Ge Bi has plenty of sons; it doesn't matter if one is more or less."
"However, Merit Statues are different; they are immensely important to Wang Ge Bi!"
"As long as the construction of the Merit Statues can continue, Wang Ge Bi will not have any suspicion towards the Three Immortals Sword Sect. On the contrary, he will feel even closer to the Three Immortals Sword Sect!"
This prediction by Qian Duoduo proved to be true.
When Wang Ge Bi learned that the "Merit Statues" could continue to be built, he was overjoyed. He wholeheartedly believed the "flying sword message" and decisively attributed "Wang Jiu Jiu's" death to the "Dark Sword Sect."
Not only that, but Wang Ge Bi also thoughtfully prepared "heavenly materials and earthly treasures" to fill a hundred boats for his good friends, the "Three Immortals Sword Sect."
Upon hearing this news, "True Master Tian Zhao" was filled with admiration for Qian Duoduo.
Little friend Qian is too formidable; in just a few words, he not only resolved the crisis for the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" but also helped them make a fortune.
What a talent!
At this moment, a sharp glint flashed in "True Master Tian Zhao's" eyes. He asked the final question.
"Little friend Qian, should we build the Merit Statues for the Great New Dynasty as promised?"
As soon as this question was asked, the previously cheerful atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The smiles on the faces of "True Master Zhi Chang" and "Immortal Sword Master Yu Hua" gradually disappeared.
Building three "Merit Statues" on "Three Immortals Island" was no small matter.
Once the three "Merit Statues" were completed, "Three Immortals Island" would be closely linked to the "Great New Dynasty."
At that time, if the "Great New Dynasty" wanted to do anything to the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," it would not be so easy to fool them.
Moreover, given the aggressive nature of the "Great New Dynasty," they would certainly make a move against the "Three Immortals Sword Sect"; it was only a matter of time!
Building the "Merit Statues" was like "inviting a wolf into the house"!
In response, Qian Duoduo was well-prepared. He chuckled and said.
"Esteemed Sect Leaders, we are cultivators of the righteous path, and of course, we must keep our promises. Since we have promised the Great New Dynasty to build the Merit Statues, we must not go back on our word and must diligently build the Merit Statues."
Hmm...
"Immortal Sword Master Yu Hua" and "True Master Zhi Chang" exchanged glances, and they both saw disappointment in each other's eyes.
Qian Duoduo was still young and did not consider things long-term; he was only focused on immediate benefits and did not consider the threat of the "Merit Statues."
However, "True Master Tian Zhao," who had the deepest schemes, had a sharp glint in his eyes. He looked intently at Qian Duoduo and asked.
"Little friend Qian, your words seem to have a hidden meaning. Don't keep us in suspense now; just say it plainly!"
Qian Duoduo remained as he was, his round, chubby face wearing a harmless smile.
He chuckled and said.
"Esteemed Sect Leaders, the Great New Dynasty is our most important and loyal ally. The affairs of the Great New Dynasty are our affairs! Since the Great New Dynasty wants us to build Merit Statues, we must build them diligently, meticulously, and strive for perfection..."
