Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 94

Ten thousand people? Resources for ten thousand individuals.

Where the hell am I supposed to find them?

Liu Shunyi’s expression was utterly astonished.

Lin Wudao’s face mirrored the same astonishment.

Both fell silent, contemplating the situation.

After a brief moment, Liu Shunyi broke the silence.

“I must ask, how exactly did you manage to gather such a large number of followers?”

Lin Wudao began his explanation.

“Actually, when establishing the Yama Palace, I proclaimed its leaders as yourself and Zhao Gou. Once Zhao Gou became one of the leaders, he went on a frenzy recruiting members. Initially, it was just a few thousand at a time, but gradually, more and more people joined the Yama Palace.”

“In fact, we even had to turn away quite a significant number due to the overwhelming response.”

Liu Shunyi remained puzzled.

“No matter how charismatic Zhao Gou might be, surely it’s not possible to attract so many eager to join the Yama Palace all at once?”

Lin Wudao sighed.

“It’s like this – the blood pills you created not only enhance the cultivation base but also improve one’s physique, including their Spirit Root. Even ordinary mortals can embark on the path of cultivation after consuming your blood pills.”

“Secondly, there’s the Divine Soul Pill. Its effects include dispersing mental fatigue, restoring spiritual energy, even enhancing it, and to some extent, improving one’s comprehension!”

“With these two items at our Yama Palace, naturally, loose cultivators and those long struggling with breakthroughs would be drawn like moths to a flame!”

Liu Shunyi was astounded.

Blood pills and Divine Soul Pills having such profound effects? Why hadn’t he noticed any of this before?

Still, Liu Shunyi remained concerned. “With so many people flooding in, can you manage them all? Aren’t you worried about opportunists just coming for free benefits?”

Lin Wudao cleared his throat. “Well, I must commend Zhao Gou-sama; his mere presence ensures that no newcomer dares to harbor thoughts of betrayal or deceit.”

Liu Shunyi was once again dumbfounded. “Zhao Gou is that intimidating?”

Lin Wudao paused momentarily.

“All right, I understand now. Give me three more days to secure the resources!”

Lin Wudao nodded in agreement.

Their communication ended.

Liu Shunyi promptly set out to find Zhao Gou.

When he located him, Zhao Gou was unexpectedly enjoying music at a local entertainment venue, with several guards by his side.

Wow! This Zhao Gou truly opened Liu Shunyi’s eyes. In his mind, he couldn’t help but compare the once kind-hearted Zhao Gou with the now sorrowful figure before him.

“What a drastic change!” Liu Shunyi shook his head involuntarily.

He began walking towards Zhao Gou, but before reaching him, he was intercepted by individuals wearing ghost masks.

“Identify yourself!”

Liu Shunyi searched through his belongings and found the token Lin Wudao had given him earlier. It bore the inscription “First Yama.”

The ghost-masked figures’ eyes filled with terror, recognizing it as a symbol of another Master Yanluo!

They trembled uncontrollably, having witnessed Zhao Gou’s methods – a true living Yama on earth. How terrifying must this First Yama be?

Quickly, they stepped aside to let Liu Shunyi pass.

As Zhao Gou noticed Liu Shunyi approaching, he hastily rose from his seat.

Liu Shunyi waved dismissively. “No need for formalities between brothers.”

Zhao Gou chuckled softly.

Once seated, Liu Shunyi whispered,

“What’s going on with the Yama Palace? How did you end up sending so many people there?”

“I didn’t mean to,” Zhao Gou replied. “But those Heaven Wrath Temple bastards kept pursuing me relentlessly, regardless of time or place. What choice did I have but to retaliate? You know my methods can be quite terrifying.”

“Whenever I killed those Heaven Wrath Temple dogs, there were always witnesses. Since I didn’t want to silence them outright, I had no choice but to stuff them all into the Yama Palace.”

“And then, more and more people just kept piling up!”

Liu Shunyi was momentarily speechless.

“So that’s what happened,” he thought.

However, Zhao Gou quickly shifted the blame. “While it’s true I’ve sent many there, the current state is largely due to your blood pills and Divine Soul Pills being overly potent.”

Liu Shunyi shook his head. “Let’s set that aside for now. Instead, I wanted to ask if you truly have control over all those ten thousand souls?”

Zhao Gou’s face radiated confidence. “Rest assured, once they entered the Yama Palace, I implanted my magical energy within each of them. If they become disobedient…”

Zhao Gou trailed off, realizing how much he was starting to resemble a villain from comic books.

Liu Shunyi also looked at him strangely, sensing the same villainous aura emerging from Zhao Gou.

Liu Shunyi also sensed Zhao Gou’s growing villainous aura.

Once again, they fell into an eerie silence.

“By the way, did you need something from me?” Zhao Gou suddenly broke the quiet, looking puzzled at Liu Shunyi.

Liu Shunyi nodded.

“Yes, indeed. I wanted to ask if you can heal others’ divine souls and restore their blood?”

Zhao Gou affirmed, “Of course, no problem. Healing their livers and accelerating blood production is straightforward. As for the soul, under my magical energy’s influence, it can swiftly recover.”

Liu Shunyi nodded.

Then he handed Zhao Gou a Storage Bag filled with Qi Recovery Pills, all bearing one to three pill markings.

Seeing the quality of these pills, Zhao Gou was taken aback.

“What do you plan to do with them?”

Liu Shunyi chuckled mischievously.

“Alchemy.”

Zhao Gou scratched his head.

“How does that involve me?”

Liu Shunyi explained once more.

“You tell me?”

Zhao Gou’s eyes widened.

“Isn’t this too ruthless?”

Liu Shunyi remained unphased.

“I’ll be the villain; you play the hero. What are you worried about?”

Zhao Gou pondered briefly and realized there might be some merit to Liu Shunyi’s idea.

“All right, what should I do?”

In a hushed voice, Liu Shunyi outlined his plan, “First, we do this, then this, and finally, that… Do you understand now?!”

Zhao Gou was left speechless, utterly stunned.

The ghost-faced individuals listening nearby found themselves breathing heavily, finally comprehending why these two were referred to as living Yamas.

Abe Luoxue’s expression had grown increasingly grim lately.

On one hand, the Heavenly Extremity Saint abruptly severed all ties with them due to Zhao Gou’s actions, presumably under Ji Suying’s influence. Consequently, Tang Xiaoren swiftly departed without hesitation.

After Tang Xiaoren left, Kometaro’s previous deeds instantly ignited widespread fury among cultivators against the Heavenly God Cult. It was akin to a collective uprising against them.

Fortunately for the Heavenly God Cult, they were indeed formidable. To them, small sects and insignificant loose cultivators were no more than mere ants.

However, recently, things began to change dramatically.

For reasons unknown, Heavenly God Cult disciples started suffering from excessive blood loss and fainting spells at alarming rates, becoming almost frail as if unable to withstand even the slightest breeze.

What troubled Abe Luoxue most deeply was waking up one morning to see his followers’ faces uniformly pale like paper, their eyes hollow and dark circles prominent. This sight nearly drove him to the brink of insanity.

Imagine standing on a high platform, facing millions of zombie-like expressions turned towards you – how would that feel?
