C2439 The Interests of Cultivators
They were worried that Wan Ling Er would harbor resentment and take revenge for what had happened in the past.
Although most of them had chosen to stand against Wan Ling Er previously, the biggest reason was naturally because of their own interests. However, it was not necessarily impossible for such a factor to be involved.
After all, one's heart was separated from one's stomach. No one knew exactly what this woman was thinking. However, after hearing Wan Ling'er's words, they immediately felt much more at ease.
In addition, even the old island master, Wan Xiong Shan, had personally confirmed the result of the battle. Wan Ling Er becoming the new island master was a fact that could never be changed. These people naturally had to find a way out and change their clans.
"Island Master is truly a sea of people. It is our fortune to be able to accept us without any previous grudges. It is our fortune. I hope that Island Master can take care of us in the future. We will definitely follow Island Master's lead." Immediately, someone began to show their loyalty.
"Right. From today onwards, we will all obey the Island Master's orders. We will follow the Island Master's lead. As long as you say the east, we will not dare to head west." Someone echoed.
For a time, the voices that expressed their intentions and were eager to curry favor with one another rose and fell without end.
Such a scene felt a little comical in Su Caiwei's eyes. One should know that these people were not ordinary mortals. All of them were extraordinarily strong cultivators. At this moment, their actions were simply like that of a lowly person in the market, and they were full of ugly expressions that really caused one to laugh.
Su Caiwei's face revealed a look of disdain, and she looked at these people in a circle with disdain before she recovered her cold and aloof appearance, and she withdrew her expression without batting an eyelid.
She didn't quite understand the actions of these people, and she felt that it was extremely laughable. However, as her master, Wan Ling'er clearly understood. These people were doing nothing more than two words: benefit.
That's right, benefits.
Logically speaking, For a cultivator, especially a powerful cultivator who had reached the Prominent Divine stage or even the Tribulation Transcender stage, his lifespan should be as long as ten thousand years.
For them, their long lifespans should have seen through everything. They should have understood the essence of life and the true nature of the world. They should no longer be attached to these so-called benefits.
Indeed, many powerful cultivators were like this. They had already seen through the mortal world and chosen to be free and unfettered, no longer participating in battles.
However, that was only a part of it. At the same time, a larger portion of cultivators were fighting for their own benefits. They cultivated for their own benefits and became stronger. They would never be satisfied. They would always seek greater benefits.
Then, these people gathered together and formed a powerful group of interests. It was just like the mounted wall faction in front of them, like the Seven Swords of Swordsman Island, and like the Redbud Merchant Guild. They were all like this.
Benefits were always the core of the struggle.
Even if it was a powerful existence at the Tribulation Transcender Realm, there were still benefits that would move their hearts upon reaching such a realm. In this way, it was naturally understandable for these people to have the attitude of subservient to power.
However, being able to understand was one thing, and it didn't hinder Wan Ling'er's disgust towards this group of people. In order to stabilize her past status and interests, these people could lower their heads and flatter and express goodwill to her.
If she lost her position in the future, she would naturally be able to throw stones at her when she was down. She'd worked hard in the Redbud Trading Company for over a hundred years, and she'd already clearly seen through the hearts of people a long time ago, and she was extremely clear about this.
Looking at these people, Wan Ling'er's face was expressionless as she said, "Since everyone is willing to follow me, then there just happens to be one thing that I would like to ask of all of you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy crowd immediately quieted down. The silence was terrifying. Some people even subconsciously took half a step back and hid themselves.
This attitude clearly showed that they only wanted benefits but were not willing to give up. This kind of attitude made Wan Ling Er feel disgusted and disgusted.
She revealed a smile, and her beautiful face was like a flower in spring, blooming and charming, revealing a shocking beauty. She slowly said: "Of course, I won't force you to do this. If you don't want to, you can leave on your own. I won't stop you."
"This..." For a moment, everyone began to clamor again. They looked like they were trembling in fear and didn't know what to do.
"I don't know what exactly is going on, but please give the order, Island Master." At this time, someone opened his mouth and asked.
Wan Ling'er smiled slightly and didn't say anything. Her eyes merely indicated Qin Daoyuan before she elegantly turned around and no longer paid attention to everyone present. Instead, she led Su Caiwei and slowly left.
After Wan Ling Er turned around, Qin Daoyuan took a step forward and said, "This matter is simple. Expel Wan Chengwu's bloodline."
"What?"
This, to expel Wan Chengwu and the others, there's no need to be so heartless, right? Is this what the new Island Master wants? " Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. Immediately, someone stood up and questioned.
Qin Daoyuan's expression turned cold. He said, "I stand here because of the Island Master. I hope everyone can understand that there are some things that the Island Master is inconvenient to talk about. Let me say it. If you all want to maintain your previous status and power, you can hand over your pledge of allegiance. Otherwise..."
"Hmph." At this moment, Gu Li stepped forward to support Qin Daoyuan.
It wasn't just the two of them. Behind them, there was a group of people who came with ill intentions. They looked at everyone coldly.
It wasn't that easy to obtain benefits. It was simple as well. They handed over a pledge of allegiance, which meant that they were going to expel Wan Chengwu's bloodline together and let them leave the Golden Island. This was equivalent to uprooting them and eliminating future troubles.
Even though this was a bit heartless and cruel, it wasn't like there was no precedent.
"I've already made myself clear. Are you going to hand over this declaration of surrender or not? All of this is up to you in a single thought. The Island Master won't force all of you. " However, I am a bit impatient and aggressive. I'll give you ten breaths of time. If you want to come with me, come with me. If you are not willing, then you can find your own way out. I will not stop you. " Qin Daoyuan crossed his sword in front of his chest and said with a cold smile.
"What, what should I do?"
"He actually wants us to drive out Wan Chengwu's bloodline. What a ruthless plan to drive a tiger and swallow a wolf. It's going to be difficult now. What exactly should we do?"
For a moment, whispers were incessant. Everyone had a troubled look on their faces as they fell into rapid thought and intense thought struggles.
However, these were not the most important things when making a decision. Usually, this group of middlemen only needed a signal, a leader.
