Chapter 1524 I hate it most when others threaten me

Jue Yuan chuckled, "Master Zhang, why are you so modest? I've seen the spirit stones you have. In Broken Sky City, you spend money like water. You bought Earth Spirit Milk for 50,000 a bottle without blinking an eye. You also spent hundreds of Great Dao Concentration Pills right away. Master Zhang is not only a sixth-level spirit plant master, but also a sixth-level alchemist. If I'm not mistaken, you're also a pseudo-Tongtian Lingbao-level weapon refiner. A talent like you is perfect for being the leader of our Mercenary Alliance."

"That's only suitable from the perspective of your Mercenary Alliance. From my perspective, I don't see any benefit."

"How can there be no benefit? After you become the leader of our Mercenary Alliance, we will be friends. Wouldn't that allow you to preserve your Immortal Gourd Realm?"

"If you think you can threaten me in this way, then I don't mind a fight to the bitter end."

"Hahahaha." Jue Yuan laughed and said, "I haven't finished what I said. I just talked about the benefits of you becoming the leader of the Mercenary Alliance to our Mercenary Alliance, but the benefits to Master Zhang the Great Spiritual Plant may be even greater."

"More? What's the benefit?"

"Does Master Zhang, the Great Spiritual Plant Master, recognize this thing?"

As he spoke, Jue Yuan waved his hand, and five bottles of Earth Spirit Milk appeared in his hand.

Henry Zhang was shocked: "Where did you get so much Earth Spirit Milk?"

Jue Yuan chuckled and said, "Of course I bought it at Tianxian Tower."

"Oh, are you the one who ordered a large amount of Tianxianlou's Earth Spirit Milk, causing it to be out of stock?"

"It's not me. How could I have so much money? It was our entire mercenary alliance that pooled it together. I promised my brothers that every Spirit Stone we pooled together would be earned back tenfold or a hundredfold. So, my brothers pooled together every Spirit Stone they could find and bought all the Earth Spiritual Milk in the Tianxian Building."

"You're willing to invest, do you think you can make me surrender like this?"

"In the entire Broken Sky City, only our Mercenary Alliance has the Earth Spirit Milk. If you want to further your cultivation, you have no choice but to cooperate with us."

"Do you know what I hate most in my life?"

"what?"

"What I hate most is when someone threatens me."

"How could I threaten Master Zhang the Great Spiritual Plant Master? You will be our leader from now on, and we will serve you loyally."

"Don't say these polite words. I won't be the leader of the Mercenary Alliance."

"Our understanding of Master Zhang, the Great Spiritual Plant Master, is far beyond your imagination. Do you know why we have so much information about you?"

Henry Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "It's because you have been following me all the time."

"Master Zhang, what are you talking about? We've only followed you twice, and you discovered us both times. Besides, my brother who's good at hiding also needs to practice, so how could he have the time to follow you every day?"

"Who sold my information to you?" Zhang Xuan asked directly.

"Sell? Our Mercenary Alliance is so poor that we wouldn't pay for information. That guy took the initiative to give us the information."

"Took the initiative to give you the news?" Zhang Xuan was stunned again.

Who is it?

The person he suspected at this time was Lai Piqiu. After all, among the cultivators in Broken Sky City, only Lai Piqiu was most familiar with him.

However, Lai Piqiu should not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself.

So who is this person who betrayed his information?

"Master Zhang, you don't have to guess. It's okay to tell you directly. It's the Ye family."

"Ye family?" Zhang Xuan was shocked again: "Why would the Ye family give you my news?"

"Why else could it be? The only thing to blame is the harvest from your spiritual field. It made them too jealous."

After hearing this, Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.

He has been cultivating these fifty acres of sixth-level spiritual fields for more than a hundred years, and the contract signed at that time was for five hundred years. Every time he earned income, he would readily share his share of the Ye family's income with them.

The Ye family probably guessed long ago that the survival rate of the sixth-grade spiritual medicine in this spiritual field is already very high.

The Ye family wanted to take back the sixth-level spiritual field in advance, but they had signed a Heavenly Dao Contract at that time and could not take it back in advance.

The Ye family will find a way to drive me away.

If he could become the leader of the mercenary alliance, this spiritual field would be left unattended, and the Ye family would be able to take advantage of the situation.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan seemed to have finally figured out the key, and he became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

Jue Yuan laughed and said, "Master Zhang, your thoughts are a little too dark. Do you think the Ye family betrayed you and want to take over your spiritual fields?"

Henry Zhang gritted his teeth and said, “Isn’t it?”

"Definitely not."

"Then why did the Ye family sell my information to you?"

"Because I promised the Ye family one thing."

"what's up?"

“As long as the Ye family gives us your information, then the position of the leader of the Mercenary Alliance can be transferred from the Ye family to you.”

"Hasn't the Ye family already dismissed the leader of the Mercenary Alliance?"

"How could it be so easy to remove it? Back then, our Mercenary Alliance fought the Ye Family, and we only suffered losses on both sides. Later, the Ye Family quietly found us and secretly signed a Heavenly Dao Contract, paying us salaries regularly every year. However, the Ye Family was also very concerned about their reputation and announced that they had removed the position of Mercenary Alliance Leader. In fact, the Ye Family is still paying our Mercenary Alliance salaries and has been helping us find the next generation of Mercenary Alliance Leaders. When the Ye Family learned that we wanted to inquire about you, they really took the trouble to help us find you thoroughly and gave us all the information they found."

"If you think you can make me surrender by threatening me with the Ye family and tempting me with the Earth Spirit Milk, then you are ridiculous."

"I'm just confused. What's wrong with being the leader of our Mercenary Alliance? You control a massive team of over fifty Void Refining cultivators, and your Heavenly Guards are second only to those of Ancestor Rong Xiao. With our Mercenary Alliance backing you up, what can't you accomplish?"

"The problem is that you can't back me up. Everyone knows that your Mercenary Alliance's reputation is utterly ruined. You sucked the life out of the first generation of the Mercenary Alliance's leader, forcing him to flee in panic. The Ye family, in order to rid themselves of the position of Mercenary Alliance leader, fought a fierce battle with you. If the position of Mercenary Alliance leader is so good, then why are people so afraid to avoid it?"

Jue Yuan kept picking his nose and said, "That's because they don't know what they are talking about."

"Becoming the leader of the Mercenary Alliance, on the surface, means becoming the master of the Mercenary Alliance, but in reality, you're just looking for someone to work for you and make money. If you're looking for a leader with that mindset, even if I become the leader under your threats, coercion, and inducements, this relationship won't last."
