Nightmare Apostle

"I understand, foster father." Yang Xiao nodded. He is the young priest of the Esoteric Sect, naturally he must also contribute to the interests of the Esoteric Sect.

The reason the Cannibal Buddha arranged it this way was also to see Yang Xiao’s attitude.

"And as for what you mentioned before, about the Chamber of Commerce’s caravan wanting to do business in our Esoteric Sect, that I can agree to."

"But you go back and tell them, they can do business, but if they still want to, like before, use the opportunity of trade to plant hidden stakes in our Esoteric Sect’s territory, contact various major forces, and secretly sell contraband, if I find out, don’t blame me for being ruthless. The last incident should serve as a cautionary tale." The Cannibal Buddha’s tone suddenly turned grim.

Seeing the atmosphere was becoming somewhat tense, Elder Kunpa smiled and said, "Young Priest, the High Priest also has his difficulties. In recent years, the Dharma Sect has been causing a lot of trouble, their geographical position is more advantageous than ours, and they’re unscrupulous in their actions, earning a lot of money against their conscience. We’re really anxious too."

"What, our Esoteric Sect has so much business, good technology, and keeps its word, yet we’re not making money?" Yang Xiao asked curiously.

"Sigh—" Elder Kunpa sighed, "To be honest with you, we’re earning tough money, barely enough to sustain our current operations. But if we want to expand or engage the Dharma Sect in a long-term war, it’s far from enough. All these years, the High Priest has been using his own treasury to subsidize."

Yang Xiao guessed that the Esoteric Sect wasn’t very wealthy, but he didn’t expect it to have reached this point. Isn’t it amazing how they’re still saving money to build a castle for Sutana—this is just... just too loving.

No doubt about it, foster father is truly a good father.

"Foster father, I have a few words, I wonder if I should say them." Yang Xiao suddenly said.

"Go ahead, it’s no problem." The Cannibal Buddha now loved hearing Yang Xiao speak.

"Foster father, I think our business is not doing well largely because we are too kind and conduct business too rigidly. We should be more flexible." Yang Xiao cautiously suggested.

"Too kind..." Kunpa looked puzzled. All these years, it was the first time someone said they were too kind.

People outside described their Esoteric Sect as scarier than ghosts. Of course, as an elder of the Esoteric Sect, Kunpa naturally knew those were rumors, shameless slanders.

"Look, just talking about that Dharma Sect scoundrel Mahasha, after I killed him, foster father, you ordered to send his head to the front lines and throw his body to the back hill to feed the dogs."

"I understand your anger, but when we calm down to think about it, isn’t this a bit wasteful."

"Mahasha wasn’t weak either, he must have harmed a lot of people over the years, definitely having quite a few enemies. If we preserved his whole body, couldn’t we hold an auction, invite all his enemies, and auction it publicly, highest bidder wins, so they can take the body to the graves of their kin and whip it for revenge."

"If the price is too high for everyone to accept, we can also auction it separately. Head and body can be priced higher for those relatively wealthier buyers."

"If they really can’t afford it, buying an arm or half a leg to bring to the graves of their loved ones also serves a purpose, don’t you think?"

"This also shows your benevolence, reasonably considering the needs of the populace."

"Of course, making money is also very important, so we should try to sell live ones, this way enemies can buy them back and torment them to release their anger."

"Of course, this isn’t conducive to our sustainable development, it’s best to rent them out, yes, rent them out."

"Think about it, we collect rent by day, one price per day, rent for three days and exempt half a day, rent for a week and exempt two days, the more you rent the more you exempt."

"But there’s a prerequisite, a deposit is required, and it must be high, otherwise if they torture him to death, then there’s nothing left to rent." Yang Xiao was calculating for the Cannibal Buddha.

"Hold on." Just as Yang Xiao was about to continue speaking, he was suddenly stopped by the Cannibal Buddha reaching out his hand.

Yang Xiao thought he might have upset the Cannibal Buddha, just as he was trying to make up for it, he saw the Cannibal Buddha looking at Elder Kunpa, who seemed stunned by the conversation.
