Grinding EXP From a Demon Hunting Ship

News from the True Treasure Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, Su Ye’s spirits lifted.

"It’s finally here!"

He had been waiting for this news for over a month!

Due to the vast distance, the Flame Alliance’s communication with the True Treasure Pavilion was limited.

It was essentially possible, just highly inefficient and troublesome.

This alone restricted communication.

At the same time,

the intelligence Su Ye reported involved the Star Casting Hall, making it a matter of grave importance.

The True Treasure Pavilion couldn’t simply take his word for it. After receiving the information, they would inevitably have to verify it from multiple sources and conduct a thorough investigation before confirming it.

And even after confirmation, making a decision was another difficult step that required resolution.

After all, making an enemy of the Star Casting Hall was something that required the utmost caution.

The True Treasure Pavilion was one of the Lower Six Sects, relatively weak. The pressure of confronting an Upper Three Sect like the Star Casting Hall was immense.

Waiting only a month was already quite fast, all things considered.

’Now...’

’I’ll just have to see what the True Treasure Pavilion’s attitude is...’

Su Ye mused.

The True Treasure Pavilion’s stance was crucial.

Right now,

the Star Casting Hall had shamelessly involved itself directly. Without external intervention, the Flame Alliance’s defeat was already a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, as the major power backing the Flame Alliance, the True Treasure Pavilion’s attitude was of the utmost importance.

’If they don’t care, or if they’re willing but not able...’ Su Ye shrugged. In that case, he would have no choice but to flee.

As for living and dying with the Flame Alliance?

Not a chance.

Su Ye had only joined the Flame Alliance for about a year and felt very little sense of belonging to the faction.

Besides... Mr. Yun was dead, and Mr. Zuo, the Alliance Leader, was still nowhere to be found. Taking a pessimistic view, ’Perhaps he’s already dead in some dark, unknown corner?’

’A total collapse...’

Su Ye shrugged.

With the situation as it was, he could only look out for himself...

As Su Ye was thinking, an idea suddenly struck him, and he looked over at Luo Qing’e.

A wise man doesn’t stand under a crumbling wall. With the Flame Alliance on the verge of collapse, Su Ye naturally had to make preparations.

Before he had entered seclusion this time, he had specifically entrusted Luo Qing’e with a crucial task: to transfer the Nanyaoguang Corporation’s wealth and assets out of the Day Flame Sea Region.

’I wonder how she’s handled it?’

Having been dao companions for many years, they were perfectly in sync. Before Su Ye could even speak, Luo Qing’e smiled and said,

"Don’t worry, Husband. Everything has been arranged."

"All of our liquid assets have been transferred and shipped back... The transport fleet set out half a month ago. By my calculations, they should have reached the Cyan Profound Sea Region by now."

"Soon, they’ll arrive at Weiyuan Immortal City, and we’ll have nothing to worry about. These liquid assets total 8,940,000 Spirit Stones."

"As for the real estate, like storefronts, islands, and resource points, those couldn’t be moved and had to be sold off for cash... Thanks to your decision, Husband, we were able to block the news."

"The news of the front line’s collapse hadn’t spread yet. While everything still looked rosy, our corporation began selling off many of the inferior properties and islands that were doomed to fall, converting them to cash."

"However,"

"due to the short time frame, the need to liquidate covertly to avoid suspicion, and the sheer volume of the assets, we only managed to sell off sixty percent."

"The total came to 27,140,000 Spirit Stones."

"Added together, that’s 36,080,000 Spirit Stones! And this figure is pure net profit after deducting all investments and costs!"

Luo Qing’e said with pride.

Such a huge profit was inextricably linked to her diligent management as the Chief Shopkeeper!

"Excellent."

Su Ye nodded in satisfaction.

With this much money, many things would be much easier to handle!

Even if he had to retreat to the Cyan Profound region, his efforts during this period wouldn’t have been in vain.

This referred to traveling great distances to destroy the Chu Family and seize their assets, taking advantage of war profits, and leveraging his status to monopolize Flame Alliance orders and dump weapons on the market.

’No, this is me getting rich through hard work...’ Su Ye countered in his thoughts.

’Using power to create a monopoly and rake in huge profits—isn’t that how all business is done? If you don’t rely on a monopoly of power, what are you supposed to rely on? Technology, systems, and management?’

’What a hassle.’

"By the way, have you taken care of the matters Lin Yinxiu and Zhao Jiuhuang entrusted to us?" Su Ye asked, and he quickly received an affirmative reply from Luo Qing’e.

"The assets and relatives of the two Golden Core seniors have also been transferred. Their family and friends will head to the Spirit Realm Sea Region to temporarily avoid the conflict."

Luo Qing’e nodded.

"That’s good."

Selling off assets, cashing out, and using the information gap to "harvest leeks" from the common folk.

In the Flame Alliance’s territory, this kind of activity couldn’t be hidden from the two female Golden Core cultivators. How could such a massive flow of capital escape the notice of the local Golden Cores?

Even Lin Yinxiu, whose foundations were relatively shallow, had been operating in the Flame Alliance for over 140 years and had numerous eyes and ears.

However, even though they knew Su Ye was undermining the Flame Alliance, the two female Golden Core cultivators had no intention of exposing him, because they were doing the exact same thing!

They had even given Su Ye a helping hand!

After all, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Su Ye to block the news on his own.

Lin Yinxiu and Zhao Jiuhuang had long been in cahoots with him. At such a critical moment, it was only natural for them to advance and retreat together—transferring their assets and blocking the news in unison.

After all,

they needed Su Ye, too!

Or rather, they needed Su Ye even more!

Without Su Ye, where would they transfer their assets?

In the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the flames of war engulfed the entire Day Flame Sea Region, leaving no peaceful place behind.

The Cyan Profound and Spirit Realm Sea Regions, two remote and peripheral areas, were an excellent escape route... Otherwise, the Chu Family wouldn’t have set its sights on them in the first place.

...

After taking stock of his gains, Su Ye was in a cheerful mood.

With such a massive profit, even if he had to withdraw from the Day Flame Sea Region, he was definitely not at a loss. It was merely a matter of his "super-insane profit" being downgraded a notch to just "insane profit"!
