If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

"Nascent Soul stage?"

At this point, Han Ju and Fu Yanhong repeatedly told themselves that there was no need to be shocked no matter what happened to Zong Ze.

But Han Feng's words still stunned the two of them once again!

Both Han Ju and Fu Yanhong had some understanding of the classification of cultivators, especially Han Ju, who had always cultivated in the way cultivators cultivated. In fact, Han Ju was not a master of the Divine Wrath Realm, but a true Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator.

As for Fu Yanhong, she had learned about the cultivation system of the Han people from her husband. Now, when she heard Han Feng say that as long as Zong Ze's Divine Machine Legion came to the Sacred Word Outer Continent, he had the ability to make the soldiers of this legion advance to the Nascent Soul stage within half a year.

The Nascent Soul stage! That's equivalent to the Divine Sect realm experts in the Sacred Language Outer Continent. What kind of concept is an army composed of Divine Sect realm experts?

As the core force of their own power, especially since Han Ju was one of the elders of the Divine Pill Pavilion, they both knew that their respective top-tier forces could absolutely not produce such a force.

Han Ju, after all, had a higher status and his strength had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, equivalent to the Divine Wrath Realm. In the Sacred Word Outer Continent, he knew more information than Fu Yanhong.

Therefore, Han Ju knew that even the top powers probably couldn't muster an army of millions composed entirely of experts at the Divine Sect level. Perhaps only those reclusive families and the Supreme Council could afford such a feat.

Moreover, after entering Xiao Hei's belly, Han Ju already knew that as long as Zong Ze was willing, as long as Zong Ze could meet that condition and freely enter and leave the Holy Word Continent, even if it was by smuggling, he could bring countless people to the outer continent of Holy Word.

After a long, long time, Han Ju finally gave a wry smile: "Young Master Zongze, it seems we underestimated you. At this rate of development, it won't be long before you're not only among the top in the Chaotic Continent, but also in the Sacred Language Outer Continent!"

"These are all things for the future!"

Zong Ze smiled slightly. Now that the issue of the number of people stationed in the castle has been resolved, there is only one problem left. If we launch a large-scale attack on the Black Rock Gang tonight, it will likely alarm many people. We would like to invite Elder Han and Sister Hong to give us some advice on this matter, since I am new here and do not know anything!

"This isn't a big problem!"

Sister Hong nodded and said, "Chaotic Continent, Chaotic Continent. It wouldn't be Chaotic Continent if it weren't chaotic. Although Chaotic City is more stable than the outside world, the fighting continues every day!"

"That's right!"

Han Ju picked up the conversation: "When someone attacks a faction, other factions will just sit on the sidelines and watch the fight. If both sides are severely injured, they won't mind kicking each other when they're down. But if one side wins completely, they won't do anything. After all, they also have to think it over!"

Therefore, all we need to do is keep the city lord of Chaotic City in check. If he doesn't intervene, then the Black Rock Gang is destined to be yours, young master!

"Chaos City Lord?"

After thinking for a moment, Zong Ze said, "I heard Sister Hong say that if we agree to give the Chaos City Lord a higher tax rate than the Black Rock Gang, then the Chaos City Lord will sit idly by and not help the Black Rock Gang?"

"That's right!"

Fu Yanhong replied, "I know Luo Jue quite well. He's a rather cautious person. Since you've issued a challenge today, he must have already gone to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for help!"

"Ask for help?"

Zong Ze was taken aback: "Is that so? Doesn't the City Lord's Mansion not participate in the struggles between forces?"

"Not participating doesn't mean you can't help out!"

Sister Hong smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. Chaotic City has its own rules. Even the city lord can't break the rules. Isn't he only allowed to collect taxes from farms and mines? Just give it to him!"

"Not bad!"

Zong Ze said, "Anyway, our income doesn't depend on this small mine and those two farms. As long as the Lord of Chaos agrees to remain neutral and allows our forces to exist, we don't mind giving him all the income!"

Upon hearing Zong Ze's words, Han Ju and Fu Yanhong exchanged a glance. To be honest, they believed whatever Zong Ze said now. But after hearing Zong Ze's words, they knew that what they had just heard and seen was probably just the tip of the iceberg!

This principle must have some unknown secrets; even when it comes to making money, he has his own path.

However, neither of them asked this time. Although they knew that if they asked, Zong Ze would most likely not hide it, they had been shocked too many times today and they could hardly bear it anymore!

So, let's save this shock for later and savor it slowly!

"Not all of them can be used!"

Sister Hong shook her head: "The Black Rock Gang doesn't actually have any source of income. It's impossible for them to rely solely on protection fees from the market. Their income mainly comes from those two farms and a mine."

Therefore, 40% is already the limit for the Black Rock Gang. They don't dare to raise the price any further. They know that once they raise the price with the City Lord's Mansion, they can't lower it anymore. The Black Rock Gang can't afford that!

So, as long as we agree to give the City Lord's Mansion 50%, no matter how capable Zongze is at making money, having this 50% of the farm and mine income will serve as a facade; otherwise, it would be too ostentatious!

"Red Girl is right!"

After Fu Yanhong finished speaking, Han Ju continued, "Unlike the Chaotic Lands outside, the source of income for each force in Chaotic City is basically transparent. If you, Young Master Zongze, have no income at all but can still support such a large force, that in itself is a flaw and might attract the covetousness of the Chaotic Lands!"

After listening to Han Ju and Fu Yanhong's back-and-forth conversation, Zong Ze felt a slight jolt in his heart. Yes, he had been a bit arrogant and careless. If he really didn't have any income from the farm and the mine, how could he support such a large force?

Nobody's a fool. By then, people will be able to guess that you have other sources of income. That alone might attract countless flies and hounds.

"Thank you both for reminding me, I got arrogant!"

Zong Ze stood up and bowed deeply to Han Ju and Fu Yanhong!

Fu Yanhong didn't mind and sat there accepting Zong Ze's bow. After all, she wasn't a member of the Han clan. However, Han Ju couldn't accept it and quickly stood up: "Young Master Zong Ze, there's no need for this. It's what this old man should do!"

"Alright, Zongze, you guys get ready!"

At this moment, Fu Yanhong also stood up to smooth things over: "I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion with Old Man Han right now and finalize this matter. Tonight, we'll take down the Black Rock Gang!"
