The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 857 Building Your Own Power!
He can't let the younger generation down!

Song Wanning looked at the woman who had her head down and looked utterly dejected, her eyes devoid of any sympathy.

No one's experience should be used as an excuse to kill others at will.

Since you've done it, you should accept the outcome with equanimity.

This was something she had known for a long time.

The woman didn't struggle; she simply chose to end her own life, disappearing without a trace.

The surrounding cultivators sighed in disbelief.

"This morning, I saw her outside the island lord's mansion, verbally abusing the servants. She's already getting her comeuppance..."

"It's so unpredictable!"

No one sympathizes with women; they are just worried that Song Wanning might change some of the current policies after taking over as island lord.

This has led to their inability to live a proper life now.

Song Wanning disregarded their thoughts, quickly disposed of the body, and then led Wen Shu and Yun Yangzi toward the island lord's mansion.

Once they left, everyone could no longer hold back and a heated discussion broke out.

After half an incense stick's time, Song Wanning was respectfully invited into the island lord's mansion by the servants.

The island lord's residence is located in a spacious area, in the place with the most ethereal atmosphere on the entire island.

Song Wanning gathered all the servants of the island lord's mansion together.

There are more than twenty servants in the island lord's mansion. These people need the island lord to distribute immortal stones every month in exchange for a little bit of resources.

However, the island's resources are all controlled by the island owner, making it extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to obtain any opportunities.

These people are the same.

After dismissing everyone, Song Wanning sat down in the lower part of the hall, her fingers tapping the table absently.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yangzi immediately understood Song Wanning's plan.

"Girl, are you trying to build your own power base?"

In the lower realm, Song Wanning's status has always been very high, whether in her family or sect...

She had never experienced what it was like to be a rogue cultivator.

"Yes, the ancestor really understands me."

Song Wanning smiled, the worry in her eyes fading away.

For some reason, she felt an immense sense of closeness when she saw her ancestor.

Although we didn't spend much time together in the lower realm, there was a unique sense of intimacy that others didn't have.

Perhaps this is the tacit understanding from the same world.

"what?"

Wen Shu was taken aback upon hearing this, "Aren't you a cultivator from the Wuji Sect?"

"You don't actually plan to start a rogue cultivator alliance, do you?"

This idea is incredibly big!

After all, this is not something that can be done simply by killing a few people.

Song Wanning glanced around at the surrounding houses with a nonchalant look in her eyes and replied lazily, "Right now, I have plenty of time to cultivate my own power, which doesn't conflict with the sect."

Her plans were far-reaching.

She held a decent position within the Wuji Sect, and in the future, when disciples from the lower realm ascended to immortality, the Wuji Sect might accept them out of consideration for her.

But what if this continues in the long run?
Over time, what will the disciples of the sect feel?

Or perhaps after one ascends to immortality?

She needs a power entirely of her own, so that she can not only provide options for her relatives and friends in the lower realms, but also provide a sanctuary for them.

This is just one of its advantages.

She happened to be quite free right now, and apart from chasing after Brother Nan, she didn't seem to have anything else to do.

The more Song Wanning thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and she turned to look at Yunyangzi.

"Ancestor, what do you think of this place?" "Or rather, what do you think of this island?"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes, her ambition laid bare before the two men.

Upon hearing this, Yunyangzi remained silent for a moment, inwardly applauding Song Wanning's courage.

As expected of a disciple from their Ancient Cold Sect!! "This plan is feasible, but it still needs further consideration!!"

Wen Shu stood to the side with his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

Song Wanning's idea was too astonishing; she even wanted to annex other islands?

Will these people really obey her orders?

Whether or not this island can be managed effectively is a question.

Many thoughts flashed through Wen Shu's mind, but in the end, he didn't choose to pour cold water on her enthusiasm. Instead, he said to Song Wanning, "If you want to do it, then go for it. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know. I'm sticking with you!"

She just wanted to cling to Song Wanning's leg and never let go.

After all, Song Wanning was someone who was willing to go toe-to-toe with a Grand Luo Golden Immortal for the sake of a patriarch in the lower realm.

If I become Song Wanning's person, won't she cherish me from now on?
She thought to herself with delight, her face beaming with a radiant smile.

Song Wanning rolled her eyes at her, "It hasn't even started yet, what are you so excited about?"

"Hehe, I think you can definitely do it!!!"

Wen Shu said with a grin, not worried at all.

Yunyangzi smiled upon hearing this. Regardless of whether the plan succeeded or not, it was a worthwhile attempt.

After a period of discussion, Song Wanning had formulated a general policy.

Thus, the first rule for the island was established.

Soon, the notices were posted on the walls of the street.

"New regulations for the island: the Wuhai Gang has been established on the island, and its leader is the newly appointed island owner, Song Wanning."

“Cultivators on the island who wish to join, please go to the island lord’s mansion to register immediately.”

"Joining the Wuhai Gang will grant you certain benefits, while those who do not join will need to pay the island one hundred immortal stones each month, or items of equal value."

"Those who are unwilling to do either should leave the island within three days."

"You will be responsible for all consequences three days from now!"

As soon as someone read out the rules, the cultivators instantly erupted in uproar.

"What does this mean? Are they forcing us to pay money? Or forcing us to sell ourselves into hard labor?"

"Damn it, I knew that woman's rise to power wouldn't end well. It's only the first day, and she's already coming up with these money-grabbing clauses. Does she really not fear that we'll besiege the island lord's mansion?"

"Exactly, that's outrageous! What right does she have to demand money from us?"

"The previous island owner only asked us to pay an island entry fee, and once we were on the island, it only cost us one hundred immortal stones a year!"

We all came here because we were broke and had nowhere else to turn.

What now?
This is like tearing flesh from their bodies; no one can afford to live anymore.

The monks were indignant; not a single one of them was happy.

Nobody wants to be someone's slave or have to put up with their attitude.

But the thought of so many immortal stones made their hearts ache.

"How to do?"

"Are we... are we just going to accept our fate like this?"

Everyone looked at each other, and although they talked about besieging Song Wanning, no one dared to actually take the lead.

After all, Song Wanning is a ruthless person who even killed a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Who would dare to provoke her?
So, after all the arguing, no conclusion was reached, and everyone dispersed in twos and threes.

That evening, the island lord's mansion welcomed its first group of people who chose to join the Wuhai Gang.

There were five cultivators in total. Their cultivation levels didn't seem very high, but their eyes were clear.

Wen Shu was responsible for registering them.
