Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 431 Acquiring Resources!

Seeing Liang Tianhao admit his mistake so thoroughly, the other Baiyue Sect members behind him also spoke up. "I’m willing to give you everything I’ve accumulated in the sect!"

"Me too!"

"As long as you let us go, we’ll do anything!"

As more and more people began to pledge their loyalty to Dragon Gate, a smile touched the lips of every Dragon Gate member.

For so long, they had been marginalized and targeted by the Baiyue Sect. Now, they could finally hold their heads high, feeling utterly vindicated.

Qi Yuanchen smiled and asked Long Chen, "Sect Master, how do you plan to handle this?"

Long Chen waved his hand and fixed his gaze on Liang Tianhao. "In addition to what you’ve offered, you will also bring all of the Baiyue Sect’s current resources here."

Liang Tianhao’s heart shuddered. What?! This is an outrageous demand! Handing over all of the Baiyue Sect’s current resources would be like severing our main artery!

"If you’re unwilling, then you can continue kneeling here," Long Chen said nonchalantly. He then turned to Qi Yuanchen. "They’re far too comfortable like this. Add some fire. Make them kneel on burning charcoal."

"Yes!" Qi Yuanchen nodded with a smile.

Hearing that Long Chen wanted them to kneel on burning charcoal, the members of the Baiyue Sect were horrified, terror filling their faces. Zhang Cangsong was also terrified.

He quickly said to Liang Tianhao, "Senior Brother, our safety is the most important thing right now!"

Upon hearing this, the Baiyue Sect members looked at Liang Tianhao with pleading eyes, all hoping he would agree to Long Chen’s conditions. If he did, they could be spared this physical ordeal.

Although Liang Tianhao’s face remained impassive, he was inwardly terrified. The pleas from his fellow members, however, gave him the perfect excuse to yield.

He feigned deep thought and struggle before finally making his decision. "Fine. As long as you let us go, we’ll agree to anything you say."

"We just hope you’ll keep your word."

"Naturally," Long Chen nodded, retracting the oppressive aura he had released over several of the Baiyue Sect members.

Without the oppressive pressure, those Baiyue Sect members felt immensely relieved. It was like breaking free from a swamp, a heavy burden lifted from their shoulders.

Long Chen spoke to them coolly, "A few of you, go bring the resources."

"Yes!" The Baiyue Sect members nodded repeatedly. How could they possibly dare to refuse?

Then, they turned to look at Liang Tianhao.

Gritting his teeth, Liang Tianhao could only hand over a key—the key to the Baiyue Sect’s Resource Chamber.

About ten minutes later, those Baiyue Sect members returned. They hurried before Long Chen and spoke respectfully, "All of the Baiyue Sect’s current resources are here."

With that, one of them presented a Storage Ring to Long Chen.

Long Chen accepted the Storage Ring and, after a careful inspection, nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. You know what’s good for you."

He knew full well that the Baiyue Sect members must have held something back. But the resources in the Storage Ring were enough to deal a heavy blow to the Baiyue Sect’s vital energy. And with these resources, Dragon Gate could finally establish its own supply channels.

This was enough to achieve Long Chen’s goal.

Suppressing his fury, Liang Tianhao shot a cold glance at Long Chen. "We’ve done as you asked. Can we go now?"

Long Chen nodded. "Considering we are fellow sect members, I hope you take this as a lesson."

"Otherwise, next time, the resolution won’t be this simple."

"Understood?"

"Understood." Liang Tianhao nodded, not daring to even breathe too deeply. No matter what Long Chen said, he could only agree.

Hearing Liang Tianhao’s assent, Long Chen finally retracted his aura completely.

Without the crushing pressure, the men let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. They had been kneeling there all day. Their knees were completely numb, devoid of all feeling, and they could only lie on the ground to rest for a while.

After recovering for some time, Liang Tianhao led the Baiyue Sect members away.

"Sect Master, this is the most satisfying moment I’ve had since joining the sect! Damn, that felt good!"

"Me too!"

"Let’s see who dares to bully our Dragon Gate now! The Baiyue Sect is a perfect example."

Seeing the Baiyue Sect members fleeing in utter disarray, the Dragon Gate disciples were exceptionally thrilled.

Tang Le, however, squinted at the retreating figures of Liang Tianhao and his group, murmuring, "Humiliating the Baiyue Sect like this... I’m afraid this matter won’t end so easily."

Long Chen overheard him. He gave a faint smile and said calmly, "If the Baiyue Sect still doesn’t know when to back down, we’ll just keep dealing with them."

"Even the most vicious dog can be tamed, can’t it?"

Hearing this, Tang Le thought no more of it and let a smile grace his own lips. He knew Long Chen wasn’t being arrogant; he truly had the power and resources to back up his words.

Long Chen waved his hand, calling Qi Yuanchen over.

Qi Yuanchen approached with a salute. "Sect Master, your orders?"

"Distribute the Elixir Pills and tell everyone what happened," Long Chen instructed. "We’re giving our members another round of benefits. Starting today, anyone who registers with Dragon Gate to purchase Elixir Pills can get a discount. This offer is limited to two days. For anyone who wants to purchase after that, the price will be different."

Qi Yuanchen nodded. "Understood. Rest assured, I’ll see to it immediately."

Meanwhile, Liang Tianhao returned to the Baiyue Sect’s headquarters. Fuming, he slammed his palm down on a table. He was furious! He had never suffered such humiliation!

BANG! The table cracked and split in two.

Standing before him were Zhang Cangsong and Han Zongwei. Seeing Liang Tianhao’s rage, they could only stand with their heads bowed, not daring to utter a single word.

Liang Tianhao’s anger boiled over at the sight of them. "Useless!" he snarled. "You’re both useless! It’s one thing to fall into Long Chen’s hands yourselves, but to drag me into it as well! Are you two trying to get us all killed?"

Zhang Cangsong and Han Zongwei both looked aggrieved.

"Senior Brother Liang, you can’t blame us for this," Han Zongwei said with a pained expression. "Who knew that guy was hiding his strength so well? If we had, we wouldn’t have ended up in this situation."

"Damn it!" Liang Tianhao snorted coldly.

Han Zongwei asked meekly, "Senior Brother Liang, are we just going to let this go?"
