C2472 Greetings Island Lord
In that battle, other than Wan Xiong who had become famous for many years and crushed all the Tribulation Transcenders in an invincible manner, the most dazzling one was Desolate Lang, who was also known as the Wind Devil.
"Girl, now that you know my identity, do you feel more confident?" Xiao Lang said with a smile.
"With senior's identity, as long as you reveal your name, who on the huge Golden Island wouldn't dare to accept it?" Wan Ling'er smiled and praised.
Xiao Lang nodded his head in agreement and said, "Yeah, they appear to be docile like sheep on the surface, but they do it behind my back. It is all kinds of shady business. If you want to be serious, you can't bear to do it ruthlessly. Sigh, it's hard. "
Desolate Lang had told Wan Xiong about the current situation of Golden Island with just a few words, as well as the difficulties that Wan Xiong faced.
Just like how he had suddenly softened his heart and indirectly asked someone to save Wan Chengwu and the others, it could be seen that... He was actually a very indecisive person, especially when he was facing his own blood kin.
After all, this group of people had served quite well from the beginning until the end. They kept calling him 'old ancestor', so he had to give them some face. He really could not bring himself to be a bad person.
Hence, he had been dragging it out until now.
"Human, even if we're formidable cultivators that have transcended the ordinary since a long time ago, we're still unable to defeat greed in the end, and we'll do anything for the sake of profit. On this point, no matter how formidable a cultivator is, he's no different from an ordinary mortal." Wan Ling'er spoke indifferently.
"If there were more people in the Wan Clan that had such thoughts, then it wouldn't have fallen to such a state. Even being riddled with holes isn't sufficient to describe it." Xiao Lang said.
Hearing this, the corner of Wan Ling'er's mouth curled up slightly. She said, "People who have such thoughts of mine, if they can really climb to a high position, their initial thoughts will also change. They will become greedy, and they will seize things for their own benefits. I have seen many such things."
"Yeah, it's truly ironic." Xiao Lang helplessly said. He was mocking himself.
The power structure of the entire Golden Island was like a pyramid. The person standing at the top was called Wan Xiong Shan, and the one who supported all of this was the entire Wan Family.
The higher one stood on the top, the more they would seize the benefits. The more they suppress the lower class, the harder it was for the lower class to climb to the top. Once the lower class climbed to the top with great difficulty, they would repeat this process again and again.
This cycle was like a curse, wrapping around Golden Island's body.
When Wan Xiong was still alive, he could naturally use his strength to intimidate all of these. However, once he died, the curse would grow crazily and erupt. By that time, it would be too late.
However, the group of people who were obsessed with the benefits in front of them couldn't see this far.
"When I saw too many things, and I resorted to all means for the sake of a little benefit, after the brothers turned against each other, the father and son killed each other, the couple betrayed each other, and the ugliness of human nature, I began to feel numb. Tens of thousands of years have passed, but the world has not changed at all. What a pity." Xiao Lang said. His tone was filled with sorrow, and he seemed to be in a gloomy mood.
It was perfectly normal for an old man like him to have such thoughts.
However, Wan Ling'er was different. What motivated her to reach this step was her desire for revenge, and her strong obsession to prove herself.
She only smiled, and didn't argue much. She only said, "Senior Xiao, please follow me and take this trip again."
"Haha, good. Girl, you are very bold. I like this old man very much. Also."
"What?"
" You can just call me Uncle Xiao from now on, just listen to me as if I'm young. "
Wan Ling'er tilted her head. She was a bit confused, but she still felt a warmth in her heart. She nodded and said, "En."
The two of them chatted happily. Not long after, they left the secluded place and arrived outside the mountain range. Wan Ling'er lifted her foot and walked out. She saw two completely different scenes, as if they were worlds apart.
She subconsciously looked back and found that the entire residence was covered in a layer of white fog. Although the mist was extremely faint, she could not see through it. Not only was her vision unable to see through it, even her Divine Sense was unable to pass through it. It was completely isolated outside.
This caused the two completely different scenes inside and outside. They were completely different.
"There is a special restrictive spell here. Without Master's permission, no one can get close to it." Seeing this, Xiao Lang explained to Wan Ling'er.
Wan Ling'er nodded, indicating that she understood.
It was no wonder. Logically speaking, this place was not far from the Golden Palace. Although it was not very conspicuous, it would not be overlooked by others. It turned out that this isolation formation existed and blocked the probing of Divine Sense.
Previously, her Divine Sense had swept across this place countless times, but she found nothing. This was the reason why she was able to see through Wan Xiong's strength. It was shocking.
"Greetings, Island Master."
"Greetings, Island Master."
" Greetings, Island Master. "
At this moment, a group of people who stood in front of the Secluded Mountain, led by the Great Elder of the Golden Island, as well as the various Immortals and guest chamberlains of the Tribulation Transcenders, appeared.
This group of people was the framework for the operation of the entire Golden Island. They were also the most central faction. In this competition for the throne, they did not choose to stand on Wan Chengwu's side, nor did they choose to stand on Wan Ling'er's side.
It did not mean that they were not smart enough, that they did not have good eyesight, or something else, but that there was no need.
Yes, there was no need.
With their status, strength, and prestige, the people and subordinates they could command formed groups of small forces. Moreover, the people in charge of these groups all had a common characteristic.
Their surname was' Wan ', just like Wan Chengwu and Wan Ling'er.
In other words, no matter who the final master of the island fell to, their benefits would not be little. As the newly appointed master of the island, in order to quickly stabilize the situation, they had to rack their brains to curry favor with these people.
At the beginning, these Wan Family elders had indeed thought this way. They had been secretly observing and waiting for the price to be sold. They had even thought of ways to dig out a large chunk of meat from Wan Ling'er's body.
However, the development of the situation quickly exceeded their expectations. What they didn't expect was that Wan Xiong actually sent someone to invite Wan Ling Er into the pavilion.
Anyone who wasn't an idiot would be able to tell the meaning behind this. Wan Ling Er didn't have any foundation on the Golden Island. She could only rely on the reputation of the Redbud Chamber of Commerce to support her. But now, with Wan Xiong's support, everything would be different.
Therefore, these people couldn't sit still any longer. Just as they had already agreed, they all appeared here to pay their respects to the new Island Master.
