The Grand Sky Sect was crazily repaying debts, even breaking the unwritten rules of the Blazing Sun Continent.
In the past, if you lost the IOU or token, sorry, you could only consider yourself unlucky.
Even if you died, you wouldn't get a penny back.
But now, the Grand Sky Sect didn't care about IOUs or tokens. As long as there was a real transaction, even if you lost the IOU or token, our Grand Sky Sect would still repay you every penny.
Not only that, but we would also calculate the interest at the highest rate. Tell me, isn't our Grand Sky Sect ruthless?
Whether the Grand Sky Sect is ruthless or not, the whole world was stunned by this series of actions.
The first reaction from all sides was that the Grand Sky Sect had truly gone mad with wealth.
But if you have so much money, wouldn't it be better to crazily train disciples?
What good is there in repaying debts like this?
To gain a good reputation?Sure... the Grand Sky Sect gained a good reputation, but the money was gone...
Have you ever heard of a sect maintaining its position as the number one in the world just by reputation?
So, for a time, the actions of the Grand Sky Sect were ridiculed by various major forces.
Chu Xinghe, you think you're virtuous?
Chu Xinghe, you like to do things in an unorthodox way, right?
But this time, no matter how unorthodox you are, you can only dream.
Because what use is a good reputation?
With the Grand Sky Sect consuming resources like this, even if you have a large foundation, this wave will make you bleed, right?
Chu Xinghe, are you trying to turn the profits you earned for the sect into losses?
In Martial Emperor City, under Zheng Yu's strong insistence, Cheng Xiaotian convened a Martial Emperor City meeting, with all elders and above attending.
The meeting's agenda was simple: to discuss why the Grand Sky Sect was doing these things.
During the meeting, an elder suggested that the Grand Sky Sect might be doing it for reputation.
As a result, this elder was immediately ridiculed by other elders.
"You're not young anymore, why are you still so naive? Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?"
"You might as well say Wu Xingyun is the nemesis of the Demonic Sect!"
"Reputation... Look at the current Top Ten Sects, including our Martial Emperor City, who the hell is sitting in this position because of reputation?"
"What? The Grand Sky Sect can suppress our Martial Emperor City to be the number one in the world not because they can fight better than us, but because they have more reputation?"
"Anyone who truly believes that must have a screw loose."
"We, the Top Ten Sects, rely on strength, okay? If you only rely on reputation, you won't even have bones left after being devoured by others."
"But if it's not for reputation, what exactly is Chu Xinghe's purpose this time?"
Zheng Yu pondered for a long time but still had no answer. To this, Zheng Yu expressed that Senior Brother Xinghe had already reached a higher level, a level that even Zheng Yu couldn't comprehend.
The meeting lasted for nearly half a day but still yielded no results. Finally, Cheng Xiaotian was about to announce the adjournment.
But just as the meeting was about to end, an elder from Martial Emperor City suddenly spoke up, "Isn't Chu Xinghe just shooting himself in the foot? He's repaying debts without IOUs or tokens, isn't this just consuming the Grand Sky Sect's resources for nothing? The Grand Sky Sect itself has countless debts that can't be recovered due to lost IOUs and tokens. The Grand Sky Sect is willing to repay, but that doesn't mean others are willing."
As soon as the elder finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
But just as everyone was nodding, Zheng Yu suddenly shouted out!
"I understand! I understand!"
"So that's it! That's Senior Brother Xinghe's purpose! Master! Quick... our Martial Emperor City should also start repaying debts!"
Zheng Yu's words threw the meeting into chaos for a minute. Whether it was Cheng Xiaotian or the elders, their first reaction was that Zheng Yu had lost his mind.
But soon, after Zheng Yu explained, the scene became completely chaotic.
"Ladies and gentlemen... do you think Senior Brother Xinghe's actions this time are purely a loss? You're wrong... all wrong. Senior Brother Xinghe is playing a big game of chess! Not only will he not lose, but he will also gain both fame and fortune!"
Cheng Xiaotian: "???"
Many elders: "???"
What the... Zheng Yu, do you even hear yourself?
But before everyone could snap out of their confusion, Zheng Yu's explanation made everyone understand Chu Xinghe's scheme.
Does the Grand Sky Sect owe a lot?
Of course, it does. After all, the Grand Sky Sect has encountered countless unlucky people over the years. Not only the Grand Sky Sect, but Martial Emperor City has also encountered these unlucky people. Except for a few who inexplicably found their tokens and IOUs later, most truly couldn't get them back.
But everyone only focused on how much the Grand Sky Sect owed others. Who paid attention to how much others owed the Grand Sky Sect?
As soon as Zheng Yu said this, both Cheng Xiaotian and the other elders' faces changed drastically.
Zheng Yu wasn't wrong!
The Grand Sky Sect owed others a lot, but others owed the Grand Sky Sect even more.
The Grand Sky Sect lost more IOUs and tokens than others, right?
Just in our Martial Emperor City, there are several large sums that haven't been repaid because the Grand Sky Sect lost the tokens.
So this is where Chu Xinghe's calculation lies. It seems like he's repaying debts, appearing to be at a loss, but as the repayments continue, the Grand Sky Sect not only gains a good reputation but also silently breaks the norm.
Making it so that not repaying without tokens is no longer an unwritten rule.
So now repaying is just the first step. Once the Grand Sky Sect finishes repaying, they only need to support a few puppets to repay the debts for which the Grand Sky Sect lost tokens. Then, when the Grand Sky Sect calls out.
Ask those who didn't repay because we lost tokens to return our resources to us.
At that time, the Grand Sky Sect will stand at the moral high ground and question everyone, will you repay or not?
Whoever doesn't repay is unvirtuous, whoever doesn't have credibility!
A sect cannot reach a high position solely by reputation, but a sect without any reputation cannot reach a high position either, right?
After Zheng Yu's explanation, the entire meeting was in chaos.
"Chu Xinghe is indeed as cunning as a demon!"
"We were all wrong... We thought Chu Xinghe was crazy... Now it seems, he is treating the whole world as his chessboard, and we are all his chess pieces!"
"The most terrifying thing about Chu Xinghe is that even if we can predict his every move, we have no choice but to follow his every move!"
"Indeed... even though Yu'er has figured out his scheme, our Martial Emperor City can only cooperate with him!"
"Can we not cooperate? Although our Martial Emperor City also owes a lot, others owe us even more... If we cooperate, we can get those back..."
The emotions in the entire meeting were complex, with both sighs and excitement.
Zheng Yu was teary-eyed... Senior Brother Xinghe is terrifying, I, Zheng Yu, have been chasing with all my might, thinking I was getting closer to Senior Brother Xinghe, but I just realized, I am getting further away from Senior Brother Xinghe.
Senior Brother Xinghe's open scheme encompasses the whole world. If you don't understand, you'll be manipulated by Senior Brother Xinghe, and even if you understand, you'll still be manipulated by Senior Brother Xinghe.
Such an open scheme is simply unbreakable.
You laugh at Senior Brother Xinghe for still owing debts, Senior Brother Xinghe laughs at you for understanding nothing!
Without any hesitation, Martial Emperor City immediately had people calculate its debts, and as expected, just like Zheng Yu guessed, Martial Emperor City had many debts, but others owed Martial Emperor City even more.
So what are we waiting for?
Almost immediately, Zheng Yu also arranged for Martial Emperor City to start repaying debts. At this moment, while everyone hasn't figured out Senior Brother Xinghe's methods, our Martial Emperor City can still gain a good reputation by stepping in.
By the time everyone realizes, you won't even be able to gain a good reputation.
At that time, you can only go with the flow. Now, stepping in, although you can't be the chess player like Senior Brother Xinghe, you can at least be an extremely important chess piece.
If you wait until everyone realizes, you can only be an abandoned piece...
While countless forces were nearly confused, Martial Emperor City also began repaying debts...
As soon as this news came out, the world was stunned.
Is the number one sect and the number two sect competing to see who can cause more trouble?
Are you all done living?
And then there's Martial Emperor City, although you've made quite a bit in recent years, aren't you less wealthy compared to the Grand Sky Sect?
Are you sure Martial Emperor City can withstand repaying debts like this?
As the outside world said, Martial Emperor City was struggling... but the mastermind Zheng Yu wasn't famous for nothing.
Zheng Yu privately contacted the friendly Star Moon Sect and Heavenly Sword Alliance, secretly revealing Senior Brother Xinghe's scheme.
When these two heard Zheng Yu's words, their expressions changed drastically.
The next day, the Star Moon Sect and Heavenly Sword Alliance also stepped in...
And began crazily repaying debts!
This threw the world into chaos... In the past, without IOUs and tokens, you couldn't even think about getting your money back, you were lucky if you weren't kicked out.
But in the past two days, forget about tokens, even debts you forgot about, these few sects reminded you of them.
The major sects were dumbfounded.
We agreed to laugh at the Grand Sky Sect together, right?
Why did you suddenly join the Grand Sky Sect without a word?
And what's with the Star Moon Sect and Heavenly Sword Alliance?
No way, there must be a conspiracy, so we have to investigate.
And once investigated, the Top Ten Sects were all stunned.
After hearing Zheng Yu's theory, the Top Ten Sects were all stomping their feet in frustration!
Chu Xinghe! It's Chu Xinghe again!
We've all been unknowingly manipulated by Chu Xinghe.
But even knowing we've been manipulated, there's no chance to resist because Chu Xinghe isn't using a conspiracy, he's using an open scheme.
You only see him repaying, but you don't see him immediately collecting.
And the most terrifying thing is, Chu Xinghe hasn't done anything from start to finish, he's just repaying debts, but invisibly, he's already standing at the moral high ground.
What? You say your sect won't participate, so what?
Then your sect has no bottom line, your sect isn't trustworthy, your sect has no credibility!
How are you different from those shameless Demonic Sects?
So all the Top Ten Sects stepped in, even though they knew they were being morally coerced by Chu Xinghe, no one was angry.
Because everyone did the math, repaying a lot, but getting back even more!
Calculating like this, it seems we're making a huge profit, so if this kind of moral coercion is possible, can we have more of it?
Chu Xinghe didn't know what moral coercion was, at this time, Chu Xinghe in the Grand Sky Sect was happily repaying debts.
But as he continued repaying, Chu Xinghe found things starting to go in a very strange direction.
What the... can someone tell me... why did Martial Emperor City suddenly send so many resources to our Grand Sky Sect without a word?
And they gave it at the highest interest rate like us?
Is there something wrong with you, Martial Emperor City?
Have you also gone mad with wealth like our Grand Sky Sect?
