Chapter Nine, how can a pheasant be matched with a phoenix

"How can you say that Nie Tianba has trapped someone all by himself? Is this really deceiving others? Have you considered the two subordinates of Princess Youyue? They were killed by Nie Tianba; he has taken lives, and you still sympathize with him?" Wang Ke glared at Zhang Zhengdao

I don't know. I had my cousin impersonate a disciple of the Jinwu Sect to go and deceive Nie Tianba. We will have results soon!

Zhang Zhengdao : `` ! ''

Nie Tianba has only now realized that Wang Ke has left him with a mess to clean up

Wang Ke and the others have been running for less than a day, so they shouldn't have gone too far. I would like to ask everyone to send out their family members to help me search for them" Nie Tianba said solemnly

Without further ado, let us make the arrangements right away, said one of the heads of the family

"Are you saying that you captured the real Princess Youyue, only to be deceived by Wang into handing over a fake Princess Youyue?" an astonished head of the family exclaimed

Get lost! Wang glared at Zhang Zhengdao

"Zhang Zhengdao, what is wrong with you today? You seem unusually sympathetic towards Nie Tianba?" Wang Ke looked at Zhang Zhengdao in surprise

Wang Ke explained the uses of the Nie Feng jade pendant to Princess Youyue and Zhang Zhengdao. After he finished, both Zhang Zhengdao and Princess Youyue were left with their mouths agape

Zhang Zhengdao, from our previous interactions, I could tell that you have intentions towards me. However, how can a chicken be worthy of a phoenix? You are not allowed to like me, and I could never like you! This letter serves to inform you not to harbor any inappropriate thoughts! You are a good person, and you can find someone better!

Nie Tianba, in a fit of anger, exclaimed, "Wang Ke deceived you out of your money, and now you come to me? I owe you nothing!"

People gradually began to believe

Thank you for your concern, Master Xie. Our hidden place has been established for many years, and aside from you, no one can find it. Please rest assured, I shall take my leave now! By the way, here is the jade pendant belonging to Nie Feng, which I return to you, Master!" The elder cousin respectfully handed over the jade pendant.

"As disciples of the Golden Crow Sect, what kind of money have we not seen? At that time, I also offered fifty thousand spirit stones, but Master Zhang simply waved his sleeve and was about to leave. I had no choice but to promise two hundred thousand spirit stones, which is why I came to ask for everyone's help. If you are truly worried, I can also pledge three spots for disciples of the Golden Crow Sect, how about that? As long as I get through this ordeal, I will definitely repay everyone with both principal and interest. If I am unable to fulfill this promise, you can take my three spots in the Golden Crow Sect. I can make this agreement in front of Master Zhang, how does that sound?" Nie Tianba said solemnly to everyone.

"I knew it, the disciples of the Golden Crow Sect have suddenly become so accommodating; they must have accepted bribes from the head of the Nie family, right?" a clan leader chuckled.

Honorable Master, as per your instructions, this time we impersonated disciples of the Jinwu Sect and obtained a total of 200,000 jin of spirit stones from the Nie family. I found an opportunity to quietly escape through a pre-prepared tunnel while wandering the streets of Zhuxian Town, and have come to report to you. Please allocate the spirit stones, Master

Wang Ke and Princess Youyue stared in astonishment at the letter being held in Zhang Zhengdao's hand

At this critical moment, pay attention to your safety and leave quickly! Wang Ke said solemnly

The heads of various families looked at Nie Tianba with confusion. Last night, Zhang Zhengdao had impersonated a disciple of the Jinwu Sect and had not actually interacted with anyone. The others were unaware of Zhang Zhengdao, let alone the process by which Nie Tianba was deceived last night

As the crowd dispersed, Nie Tianba stood at the entrance of the hall, clenching his fists with a fierce expression on his face

Nie Tianba's expression turned unpleasant.

Princess Youyue looked at the two of them in confusion, as if she had not yet recovered from their conversation. Were these two really sympathizing with Nie Tianba?

Is the Nie family really that wealthy

Wang Ke, you are being too overbearing!" Zhang Zhengdao glared at Wang Ke

"That's all. I knew it all along. You, Wang, are indeed a miser, the king of stinginess. Trying to get money from you is simply a dream. I won't think about it anymore. However, you should at least tell me how much you scammed this time, so I can be a little envious!" Zhang Zhengdao looked at Wang Ke with renewed curiosity.

Zhu Xian Town, within a grand hall

Nie Tianba forced a smile and said: "Yes, I promised him 200,000 jin of spirit stones"

Cousin's Love Letter? Zhang Zhengdao recalled the circle of sighing stubble on his cousin's face, instinctively tensing up all over, and then he forcefully threw the letter to the ground

Zhang Zhengdao, with his eyes red, glared fiercely at Wang Ke. Two hundred thousand jin of spirit stones, and you, this miser, won't even share a single jin with me

However, I saw my cousin take out a letter and hand it to the bewildered Zhang Zhengdao

Wang Ke felt a moment of confusion, wondering when he was supposed to share money with Zhang Zhengdao. What did the cousin mean by that

Moreover, Nie Tianba intends to annihilate my entire Wang family! He wants to kill me, yet I only have a couple of worthless coins from him, what of it? What of it!" Wang Ke glared at Zhang Zhengdao.

"Brother Wang, have you once again allowed someone to impersonate a disciple of the Jinwu Sect to deceive Nie Tianba?" Zhang Zhengdao exclaimed in astonishment

Indeed, a man soon walked into the cave

"Good!" Nie Tianba responded.

The heads of the families exchanged glances with one another

Oh? This immortal is relatively easy to talk to, unlike the head of the Nie family, who sent everyone in the household to search for Wang Ke and Princess Youyue!

"Although this Master Zhang has allowed me to make amends, it is not without its costs!" Nie Tianba said with a bitter smile

Rest assured, I recognize that sound of footsteps; it is my cousin, and he brings good news!

Alright, we will promptly arrange for the family members to search for Wang Ke and Princess Youyue. At the same time, we will all bring money to your Nie residence, where you will introduce us to Master Zhang, and we will sign and seal our agreement in front of Master Zhang

In recent days, you sent people to the Wang family mansion to steal Princess Youyue, but they were all killed by Wang Ke, right? And then the bodies were sold to you at a high price. Do you not hate Wang Ke? The Wang family must still possess some fighting capability to achieve this. If my Nie family were to completely annihilate them, how could there be no signs of struggle, no traces of blood? You have investigated the Wang family mansion, haven't you? Did you see any bloodstains? Did you see that tunnel?" Nie Tianba was still explaining. The Wang family must still possess some fighting capability to achieve this. If my Nie family were to completely annihilate them, how could there be no signs of struggle, no traces of blood? You have investigated the Wang family mansion, haven't you? Did you see any bloodstains? Did you see that tunnel?" Nie Tianba was still explaining.

I knew it, you miserly scrooge! Bah!" Zhang Zhengdao said with a face full of anger

Please let us find it together? The expressions of the various masters changed.

However, today is different. The Nie family has brought the disciples of the Jinwu Sect who arrived today, and they have made quite a round in Zhuxian Town. Almost everyone in the town is aware of it

A group of elegantly dressed strong individuals from Zhuxian Town sat in the hall, gazing at Nie Tianba, who occupied the main seat in the northern part of the hall

"Master Nie, your family does not have that much money, so you should not bribe Zhang Shangxian with so much!" a clan leader said with a bitter smile

"Cousin, how is the harvest?" Wang Kexiao asked.

Wait! Wait, there is one more thing!" Nie Tianba said with a bitter smile

"This can be considered as a loan from me, Nie Tianba, using all the assets, treasures, and weapons of the Nie family as collateral, with an interest rate of twenty percent. What do you all think?" Nie Tianba looked at the crowd

I have truthfully reported everything to the esteemed Immortal Zhang, and indeed, he was furious. However, after my numerous pleas, he finally granted me a glimmer of hope

Oh? Everyone asked curiously

Princess Youyue also became tense in an instant, thinking that Nie Tianba's men had come after her

Alright, Head of the Nie family, we will proceed as you have said

Although 150,000 jin of spirit stones is a substantial amount, there are quite a few cultivation families here. Each family contributes all their accumulated resources, and they can barely gather it together, but!

"Are villains and books inherently linked to villains?" Zhang Zhengdao asked peculiarly

Wang Ke : `` ! ''

"What does it have to do with me! Haven't you read the letter yet?" Wang Ke shook his head and said

"Two hundred thousand jin of spirit stones!" Zhang Zhengdao exclaimed in shock.

Oh?

"Please, where do we have the money?" The heads of the families immediately shook their heads.

"Is this a love letter from Cousin Da?" Princess Youyue's eyes brightened as she spoke

"What do you mean by deception? This is a just punishment, do you understand?" Wang glared at Zhang Zhengdao.

This is entrusted to me by Cousin Da, who said there are some things she feels embarrassed to say to you in person and can only write them in this letter. She has asked me to ensure it is delivered to you. Now that the letter is in your hands, I can rest assured. Farewell!" Cousin Da bowed to everyone and exited the cave

Zhang Zhengdao's eyes lit up, but he suddenly smiled and said, "Wang Ke, I must say you have a conscience; you even prepared a portion for me!"

"By the way, I have something here for Zhang Zhengdao. Is this the right person?" The elder cousin suddenly looked at Zhang Zhengdao

Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is not as you think!" Nie Tianba said in a deep voice

Nie Tianba waited outside the hall, and after a discussion among the heads of the various families, they finally agreed.

Good begets good, and evil begets evil; it is merely the cycle of cause and effect, Wang Ke shook his head and said

In the cave outside Zhuxian Town

Princess Youyue thought of how her two subordinates had been killed by Nie Tianba, and the little sympathy she had just felt vanished in an instant

If you all are here to help me, then I can rest assured!" Nie Tianba immediately said with a smile

Zhang Zhengdao's eyes turned crimson, and his breathing became somewhat rapid; he wished he could immediately pounce on his cousin in front of him and strip him of all his money, even if it meant killing him to silence him.

At last, the heads of the families believed Nie Tianba's words. While harboring resentment towards Wang Ke, they also mourned for Nie Tianba, whose losses were truly tragic.

Oh? Everyone expressed their confusion

Zhang Shangxian said that he could delay reporting everything to the Jinwu Sect, as long as I can capture Princess Youyue again before he reports to the Jinwu Sect, he can treat it as if nothing has happened

The heads of various families looked at Nie Tianba with strange expressions, clearly not believing him. Are you making up a story?

"Where in the Nie family can we come up with so much money? Even if I withdraw all the money from the family, it only amounts to fifty thousand jin. The remaining one hundred fifty thousand jin will have to be entrusted to all of you!" Nie Tianba said with a bitter smile

Nie Tianba let out a slight sigh and meticulously recounted everything that had transpired over the past two days. The gathered heads of families listened in stunned silence.

It is impossible for it to be fake. If it were fake, how could it still bear the surname 'Zhang'? Moreover, he is also carrying a jade pendant that belongs to my nephew as a token. It cannot be mistaken; this Zhang Xiansheng is indeed real

Wang Keyi was taken aback: "So, you are envious of my little money and want to take a share for yourself?"

Nie Tianba swore and cursed once again, presenting all the evidence he had gathered to the heads of the various families, which finally led them to believe him, albeit with some skepticism

"Two hundred thousand jin?" the group of family heads exclaimed in astonishment

After all, although the Nie family is domineering and is the foremost cultivation family in Zhuxian Town, the other families are no match for them. However, if the other families were to join forces, the Nie family would certainly be unable to withstand them, which is why the heads of the families felt at ease. The key lies in the substantial benefits involved

"Yes, head of the family!" Cousin respectfully replied

No, what I mean is, how could you trap Nie Tianba all by himself? That's just inhumane!" Zhang Zhengdao said with a strange expression.

Everyone's eyes lit up: "Hahaha, since the head of the Nie family has spoken, how could we dare to disobey? Rest assured, all the members of our family will go out to search! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will help you find it!"

Princess Youyue, standing to the side, picked up the letter and quickly opened it to read.

"Not bad, there are five slots for disciples of the Golden Crow Sect. I will offer one. Whoever among you can help me find Princess Youyue, I will grant you one slot!" Nie Tianba said solemnly

Is that possible? Zhang Zhengdao asked in a flattering manner

Princess of the Dark Moon

I remembered that Wang deceived you with a fake disciple of the Golden Crow Sect! Now, with the real disciples of the Golden Crow Sect at your home, isn't that something!" A clan leader suddenly looked towards Nie Tianba

At the same time, thinking about the disappearance of the Wang Ke family, everyone is certain that Nie Tianba has pulled the rug out from under them, becoming the ultimate winner, with each person filled with envy and jealousy.

"Head of the Nie family, what a clever tactic! Stealing the sky and changing the day, leaving no survivors, you have indeed made a grand move, completely uprooting the Wang Ke clan, not a single shopkeeper or assistant escaped! Have you killed them all? Now that Immortal Zhang from the Jinwu Sect has arrived, your Nie family has secured five spots for disciples of the Jinwu Sect. What a skillful and decisive approach! You have reaped great benefits; why have you summoned us here now?" An elder said with a grim expression. Now that Immortal Zhang from the Jinwu Sect has arrived, your Nie family has secured five spots for disciples of the Jinwu Sect. What a skillful and decisive approach! You have reaped great benefits; why have you summoned us here now?" An elder said with a grim expression.

Although the Nie family is the foremost cultivation family in Zhuxian Town, the number of its descendants is ultimately limited. How can it compare to the combined number of descendants from various families? The greater the number of people, the greater the strength, and the higher the probability of finding what one seeks

Master Nie, is the disciple from the Jinwu Sect who came today also named Zhang Shangxian? Could it be! A family head is worried.

Indeed, that scoundrel Wang Ke has come to my Zhu Xian Town with ill intentions! He has swindled your money and also deceived me out of five quotas for my Jin Wu Sect!" Nie Tianba said fiercely

What will you do now? You have lost the person that the true Zhang Shangxian wanted, isn't that so?" a curious head of the family asked

At that moment, footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the cave

Nie Tianba, with a dark expression, said: "You are all the heads of various cultivation families in Zhu Xian Town. Do you also think that I killed Wang Ke?"

Wang Ke, the major families of Zhuxian Town are launching a full-scale assault against you. Hmph, this time, you will find it impossible to escape. I will tear you to pieces, and I will make the Wang family’s men into slaves and the women into prostitutes. I want your entire clan to meet a miserable end

Is this what you call taking his two stinky coins? This is, this is completely swindling him clean. No, not only have you emptied the Nie family's coffers, but you have also made off with the money from all the prominent families in Zhuxian Town. Nie Tianba has not only been thoroughly deceived but also owes a huge pile of debt! You, you, you!

The Wang Ke family, with so many members, just needs to pull out one radish to reveal the hole; as long as they find one, they can locate Princess Youyue, secure a spot as a disciple of the Jinwu Sect, and recover all the money that was deceived from them by Wang Ke. Naturally, the heads of the families were extremely excited, rubbing their hands together, eager to take action immediately

200,000 jin? That's about the right amount. Alright, distribute it according to the proportions I arranged earlier!" Wang Ke said in a deep voice

Nowadays, the heads of various shops in the town are discussing how to demand the funds for the financial products from you, Nie Tianba. Everyone resides in Zhuxian Town, and your Nie family has destroyed the Wang family, seizing all their assets. However, you cannot appear too greedy, can you? At the very least, return the money we used to purchase the financial products to us

Haha, thank you all. This time we have overcome the difficulties, and my Nie family will surely express our gratitude to all of you!" Nie Tianba said joyfully

This is precisely the reason I have summoned all of you here!" Nie Tianba said in a deep voice

Hmm! Wang Ke nodded.

I just feel that you are being inconsiderate this time. Why, why didn't you let me participate as well?" Zhang Zhengdao said angrily

"Cousin Da is too deeply immersed in the role and can't get out?" Wang Ke remarked unexpectedly

"Is someone looking for me?" Zhang Zhengdao's expression changed instantly as he grabbed a long sword

Oh?

Wang Ke, this scoundrel, has defrauded my family of so much money through financial products, and has even killed several of my nephews, then sold their bodies to me at a high price. Truly, he is guilty of heinous crimes!

Greetings, Master of the House!" the man said respectfully
