Chapter 809 - 315: Piqiu and True Dragon_3
"Since the inception of Heaven and Earth Bank, it has operated with propriety and diligence. The contents recorded within these image fragments belong to the Demon Extermination Bureau, which has authorized us to manufacture them into image fragments for sale. Everything is compliant and reasonable. I wonder why the Celestial Venerable demands their recall and destruction?"
Celestial Venerable of Hai Power said grimly,
"The contents belong to the Demon Extermination Bureau? You better look closely at whose face is inside."
Li Nong smiled and said,
"All commercial activities of Heaven and Earth Bank comply with the World Law recorded in the annals. We are dedicated to ensuring every wisp of Spiritual Qi holds its rightful value. The Celestial Venerables have no authority to interfere. If you are confused, I suggest you communicate with the Demon Extermination Bureau."
"Nonsense! Does the Demon Extermination Bureau listen to us?"
Li Nong’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, "So, the Celestial Venerables think Heaven and Earth Bank is easy to bully?"
Thunderous Celestial Venerable was surrounded by rolling thunder. He had enough of the recent events that felt like nightmares. As a Terminal Daoist, his dignity was trampled upon repeatedly... If he had to endure such things, what was the point of becoming a Terminal Daoist?
He growled like a beast,
"If you don’t want this tall building of Heaven and Earth Bank to become ruins, then obediently follow what we say. A group of people reeks of the stench of money."
Li Nong still maintained a smile,
"Some live to create value, while others live like maggots, gnawing at the wounds of those who create value. Heaven and Earth Bank is committed to finding people who can create value and utterly despises any maggot."
A burst of azure thunder exploded in the sky. The sudden bolt of lightning made the entire Central City tremble.
Thunderous Celestial Venerable stood at the center of the thunder, overlooking Li Nong,
"Too long without action, perhaps the world has forgotten why Terminal Daoists are Terminal Daoists."
The ultimate Thunder Shock Dao enveloped the tall building of Heaven and Earth Bank, ready to crush it into dust at any moment.
Li Nong shook his head and said,
"The Thunder Shock Dao was originally used to deter evil, dispel the dark, the most yang and robust Dao. What a pity..."
After speaking, a dazzling golden shadow of an auspicious beast suddenly emerged from the top of Heaven and Earth Bank. Upon closer inspection, it was the Wealth-Attracting Pixiu. The Pixiu bit off the electric chains encircling the tall building and then opened its mouth wide.
A giant suction force instantly restrained the Thunderous Celestial Venerable, attempting to swallow him into its belly.
Thunderous Celestial Venerable felt an unparalleled pressure. This pressure was beyond the capability of any Cultivator, carrying a sense of primal wildness and ancient timelessness.
He immediately realized that this Pixiu shadow was not some Array or Divine Techniques, but... the true will of an ancient celestial beast!
Thunderous Celestial Venerable was aghast, trying to break free, only to find that he couldn’t exercise his cultivation; even the Thunder Shock Dao was intimidated by the Pixiu’s ancient will. He urgently shouted for help,
"Hai Power, Falling Abyss! Hurry and assist me!"
The Celestial Venerables of Hai Power and Falling Abyss quickly activated their Dao and cultivation to help him.
However, any power they approached was instantly swallowed by the Pixiu, leaving nothing. In fact, the Pixiu even intended to swallow them too.
"No! Our power can’t approach!"
Thunderous Celestial Venerable watched as he drew closer to the Pixiu’s bottomless mouth, a strong sense of fear surging in his heart.
He couldn’t predict what the outcome would be once swallowed.
The threat of annihilation was right before him.
Thunderous Celestial Venerable was drenched in sweat, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins. He shouted at Li Nong,
"Make it stop!"
Li Nong laughed,
"The Wealth-Attracting Pixiu is an auspicious beast that protects Heaven and Earth Bank. It can sense human malice. Therefore, as long as the Thunderous Celestial Venerable holds no malice towards Heaven and Earth Bank, it will stop."
Thunderous Celestial Venerable hurriedly said to the Pixiu,
"I have no malice!"
Seeing the Pixiu not listening, he became nauseated with desperation, holding back the intense discomfort, speaking in a low posture,
"Lord Pixiu, I assure you, I will absolutely have no intention of harming Heaven and Earth Bank again."
Only then did the Pixiu slowly retract its force and return to the top of the building.
Li Nong laughed and said,
"Thunderous Celestial Venerable, would you like to rest inside the building?"
Thunderous Celestial Venerable stared at Li Nong with clenched teeth but clearly felt the Pixiu’s will, daring not to act rashly. All he wanted now was to quickly leave this accursed place!
"Hope Heaven and Earth Bank can always remain so formidable!"
After speaking, he turned and hurriedly departed.
Hai Power and Falling Abyss Celestial Venerables also had no reason to stay, and left together.
Li Nong put away his smile, seeming to talk to himself, or to those secretly observing,
"So, what do you think Heaven and Earth Bank relies on to control thirty percent of the world’s Spirit Stones?"
He turned and returned to the bank.
Far in the East Continent,
Fan Wubing’s pupils shifted from seemingly containing the starry cosmos back to normal. He murmured,
"Ancient celestial beast, Pixiu..."
On this Pixiu, he sensed a trace of the true dragon’s will.
