709: Those who insult my lord shall be killed without mercy! This is the Guild Master's rebuke!

Inside Shanhai City.

Wu Xiu was discussing the city's economic and trade construction, as well as the progress of various plans, with the guild representatives in the city.

His eyelids twitched, and he suddenly stood up from his seat.

He carefully examined the lines of the Lord's Edict appearing in his vision, unable to believe his eyes.

An extraordinary excitement surged in Wu Xiu's heart: "As expected of my Lord! He... he doesn't take the common path at all!"

"This is the light in my heart!"

Thinking of this...

He looked up at the group of people at the conference table and reported the current meeting's content to Su Lie: "My Lord! I am discussing the business affairs of Shanhai City with representatives from various guild halls. Among them are matters involving slavery, loans... and so on. A total of 312 items conflict with the edicts you issued! How should Shanhai City handle the current situation?"

Ding!

The next second.

Wu Xiu received Su Lie's reply, which contained only one sentence: "Within the Silent Abyss, the Lord's Edict shall prevail!"

Seeing Su Lie's response, Wu Xiu couldn't help but clench his fists. He sat down, brimming with confidence.

Wang Zhuo, the representative of the Guild Trading Hall, looked at Wu Xiu and said, "City Lord Wu! If you are dissatisfied with the city's trade plan, we can take another step back and give Shanhai City 60% of the profits!"

He knew that Tang Fang and Xu Wenhao had gone to see Su Lie.

That was why he brought up the plan today.

The goal was to settle the matter in one go.

Wu Xiu's shocked expression when he stood up earlier was clearly due to receiving some kind of hint or command from Su Lie.

Only then did Wang Zhuo offer the highest share!

He was also using Wu Xiu to test Su Lie's bottom line.

Wu Xiu laughed and looked at Wang Zhuo, saying, "From today onwards, the Silent Abyss will fully implement..."

He presented all the Lord's Edicts issued by Su Lie.

After he finished speaking...

Wang Zhuo's eyes widened in disbelief: "How can you do this?"

At this moment, he realized that the negotiations with Tang Fang and the other had collapsed.

And it was a catastrophic collapse!

He simply couldn't believe it.

The survival the ruless of this world had always been thus.

The weak depend on the strong.

The strong buy and sell the weak.

Why did these the ruless suddenly stop working in the Silent Abyss?

If you don't harvest these leeks, if you don't cultivate these seedlings, how are you supposed to make money?

By relying solely on the resources produced within the territory?

Keep dreaming!

He simply could not understand this.

Crash!

Everyone at the conference table was shaken.

They looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for words.

Some wanted to slam the table and rise in anger.

Some couldn't help but secretly curse Su Lie for being an idiot.

Some lamented that there were too few people in the world who were both powerful and possessed a conscience!

Various emotions filled the conference hall.

Wu Xiu looked at everyone with a smile and said to the guild members, "My Lord has spoken! In the Silent Abyss, his command is the the rules! It is the Heavenly Dao! It is the only law!"

"Whoever violates it..."

"...shall be executed without mercy!"

...When he reached this point...

Someone couldn't help but sneer: "Haha! How hilarious! Su Lie has only killed a few foreign races, yet he's become so arrogant that he dares to compare himself to the mist rule? Who does he think he is!"

"Indeed! He's simply unreasonable. Only a bastard wouldn't make money when it's right there! This is just a goddamn troublemaker!"

At the same time, another person stood up in dissatisfaction.

On what basis?

Why is it that we are all like this...

...but only you, Su Lie, act so noble?

Aren't you just looking for death?

The crowd's condemnations suddenly rose from all sides.

Bang!

Wu Xiu slammed the table and stood up, looking coldly at the crowd: "You dare to humiliate my Lord! You're looking for death!"

As his voice fell...

His figure flickered and he vanished from the spot.

The people shouting in the conference hall were stunned and began looking around.

"Where did Wu Xiu go?"

"This kid wouldn't be going to tattle, would he?"

"Haha! That's all he can do!"

...The crowd's mockery became even more unrestrained.

The next second.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all stood up abruptly.

Boom!

Immediately following, everyone felt a lethal force arrive in an instant.

Then.

Amidst a thunderous roar, everyone in the conference hall vanished.

A massive hole was blasted through the floor and roof of the conference hall.

The Survivors in Shanhai City were all stunned.

"What happened?"

"A beam of light fell directly on the City Lord's Mansion? Holy crap! This is too unbelievable!"

"What's going on? Who could possibly harm Su Lie here?"

...Just as everyone was panicking.

An announcement posted by Wu Xiu via the city's internal network appeared in everyone's sight: "Announcement: Representative Wang Zhuo and other professionals in the City Lord's Mansion conference hall spoke insolently and insulted my Lord. Despite repeated warnings, they refused to change. Out of necessity, I have activated the power of the sun god tower to obliterate those who insulted my Lord!"

"This announcement is issued to warn all professionals, high and low, within the city: If anyone dares to insult my Lord, call my Lord by his name disrespectfully, or show him any disrespect... they shall be executed without mercy!"

"Today, the Silent Abyss Lord's Edicts are officially promulgated..."

After everyone read the edicts posted by Wu Xiu...

Their eyes widened one by one.

"Holy shit! The Silent Abyss is so bold? This scene happened because they banned all loans and gambling, causing dissatisfaction among the guild members. The truth must be like this!"

"Impressive! Truly impressive! Su Lie is indeed different! It seems surviving in his territory will be much better than in the territories of other lords!"

"Hey! Where the hell are you all going?"

...In a flash of realization, a portion of the Survivors began running toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Those who were a bit slower on the uptake were greatly confused.

Soon, someone cursed under their breath: "Damn it! Go buy a house in the City Lord's Mansion, you idiot! Now that Su Lie's Lord's Edicts are out, the Silent Abyss will be the best place to live in the Mist World!"

"Property prices here are definitely going to skyrocket to an immeasurable level!"

"Hoard a couple of sets before the prices go up!"

...Meanwhile.

In Baobao City.

Wang Baobao had just returned from the trial grounds. She had gained nothing this time, but upon hearing about Su Lie's actions, she laughed excitedly.

Clack! Clack!

At that moment, one of Wang Baobao's Vassal brought Su Lie's subordinate, Ling Xu, into the office.

After the two met...

Ling Xu directly stated her purpose for coming: "City Lord Wang! I am here on my Lord's orders to inform you that from now on, all survival laws in the Silent Abyss will be governed by the laws promulgated by my Lord!"

"Please take a look!"

She handed a collection of Lord's Edicts to Wang Baobao.

After Wang Baobao read the contents, her eyes widened.

Buzz!

Wang Baobao teleported directly to block Ling Xu, who was about to leave. She asked, deeply shocked and excited, "Mr. Ling Xu! Are these really the Lord's Edicts promulgated by your Lord?"

"Yes! It's absolutely true! This matter has been recognized by the the ruless. All violators will be judged by the mist rule, and a public announcement will be made to all life in the Silent Abyss! To minimize the losses of Baobao City, you need to plan early!"

Ling Xu nodded.

Wang Baobao stared and asked again, "But this is the guild's Survivor city?"

"Yes! Management was handed over to the guild, but this land is the territory of the Silent Abyss! My Lord said he has not violated the agreement!"

Ling Xu responded again.

Only then did Wang Baobao step aside.

After Ling Xu left...

Wang Baobao, shocked and exhilarated, punched the wall: "Holy crap! Amazing! Truly amazing! Su Lie! Su Lie! You are not the first person to treat people like human beings!"

"I hope your kindness can suppress the ambitious people within the territory!"

"As well as the schemes and calculations from the guild and the foreign races!"

Thinking of this...

She immediately sent a message to her brother: "Brother! The situation in Baobao City has changed. The existing plans and money-making strategies need to be altered! Here..."

She sent all the Lord's Edicts that Ling Xu had brought to her brother, Wang Tianfeng.

On the other side, in Xuanyuan City.

September looked at the Lord's Edict handed to her by Luo Xu and nodded slightly: "See Mr. Luo out!"

"Yes!"

September's subordinate took the order.

After the door closed...

September finally showed an excited expression, her eyes flickering with a fierce light: "Good! Good! Good! As expected of the genius First Moon took a fancy to! He truly is a unique pearl in the Mist World!"

"If the previous matter of killing the seven major merchant groups was using that as an excuse to deliberately slaughter foreign races..."

"...then this set of actions is to correctly and clearly tell everyone that he, Su Lie, is going to go against everyone!"

"I also resisted in the past, but I had to go with the flow for various reasons!"

"Su Lie!"

"How long can you persist?"

The thought flashed by.

September opened the chat panel and found First Moon: "Big sister! Su Lie... can you protect him? This kid has offended the truly wealthy group of people this time!"

"If he's different and causes a qualitative change in the Survivor community... then those guys' plans will fall through!"

"A Supreme Expert might step in!"

【Ding!】

In the blink of an eye.

She received a message from First Moon.

"Holy crap! Is that for real? This kid's guts are simply too huge!"

"Good! Good! Good! I know! Hurry up and tell Dad about this! He's going to have a headache!"

First Moon's message arrived quickly.

At this moment, she was sitting by a peaceful lake, surrounded by over a dozen female Survivors.

Seeing First Moon, the women couldn't help but ask, "First Moon! You seemed very shocked just now!"

"Yeah! What exactly happened?"

The women asked curiously.

First Moon laughed and looked at the women, saying, "...Su Lie's place might become one of the few pure lands in the Mist World! When the time comes, you'll have a place to go!..."

She recounted what Su Lie had done.

Hearing this, the women's expressions were shaken, and a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes: "Is this true?"

They were not professionals teleported from various worlds.

Rather, they were native humans of the Mist World.

Of course.

They had another identity—pigs!

They were resources that had been cultivated since they were very young.

Until one day.

First Moon saved them, taught them knowledge, and helped them become professionals.

She even took them along to level up.

Due to various reasons, they could only stay in the most dangerous wilderness.

But now.

First Moon suddenly told them...

...that there was finally a place that could take them in.

How could they not be excited and shocked!

First Moon laughed: "Don't be happy too soon! Although it's a pure land, it's also a place of strife! Now is not the time to go! Wait a bit longer! When he grows up and is qualified enough to protect you, I will personally send you over!"

...At this same time.

Qing Feng, who had just returned to the Mist Survivors Guild, was blocked in the Guild Master's Hall by the hall masters of various halls, led by the Trading Hall and Resource Hall.

"Qing Feng! Are you going to do something about Su Lie? He's becoming more and more unrestrained, killing guild members whenever he pleases! Who does he think he is!"

"We kindly sent him money and management so he could focus on leveling up and improving, but in return, he directly killed our people and banned our plans! This is simply outrageous!"

"All the professionals under our command follow this management method. Why should Su Lie be special?"

"We want a result! If you don't handle it, then we'll have to take internal action ourselves!"

...Qing Feng watched everyone as she slowly sat back in her chair. She had also just learned about what had happened in Su Lie's territory.

It had indeed given her a fright.

However.

This also made her look at Su Lie with even more respect.

Especially Dao Yi, who was currently in control of Qing Feng's body; she approved of and supported Su Lie's actions.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Qing Feng laughed.
