Jiang Xuelan stood aside, remaining silent.
His gaze fell on Sonya for a moment before returning to her.
He could feel Sonya’s gaze observing and probing.
It was a woman’s intuition; even with amnesia, his deepest instincts were still telling him something.
Sonya was also looking at Jiang Xuelan.
He didn’t know why he was staring at her, but he felt a strange feeling when he was next to her, as if there was something stuck in his throat, something he couldn’t say or swallow.
The woman stood next to David in a natural manner, clearly showing a close relationship. This realization aroused mixed feelings in Sonya’s heart, but she immediately suppressed them.
“Okay.” Ning Zhi nodded. “Then it’s decided.”
The rest is much simpler.
David took out a large number of crystals from his storage ring and handed them to Ning Zhi.
“Old Xuan, take out all the crystals I gave you. I’ve taken them all out of my pocket, but maybe it’s not enough,” David said to Xuan Zhenzi.
“Then remember to return this money to me; this is my reward,” said Xuanzhenzi.
“Don’t worry, once I destroy the main temple and seize their resources, I will return them to you along with the flowers,” David said.
Upon hearing that, Xuanzhenzi reluctantly took out all the crystals he was carrying.
Ning Zhi didn’t say much, but just told the white-haired old man to take the crystals and exchange them for gifts for human and animal cultivators.
The white-haired old man wore a complicated expression on his face as he bowed deeply to David: “Thank you, Master On behalf of the demons of the Black Abyss Valley, I thank you for your generosity.”
“Don’t thank me.”
David waved his hand, a sly smile crooked on his face. “All of this has to be paid back. Once we find something good in the Abyss of Desolation and sell it for money, you have to pay me back with interest.”
The white-haired old man paused for a moment, then grinned, a smile that exuded long-lost calm: “Of course! Of course! I’ll take care of it right away!”
He turned and stepped out of the main hall.
The crystal was brought out, and soon cheers could be heard from the entrance of the valley.
The human cultivators and beastmen received the rewards they deserved and left the Black Abyss Valley with satisfaction.
As they left, someone called out into the valley, his voice ringing out far into the twilight: “Next time you need a service like this, remember to let us know! We’ll be there whenever you need it!”
David stood at the entrance of the main hall, watching the human and animal cultivators leave the valley entrance, carrying overflowing storage bags, chatting and laughing. Their figures disappeared into the twilight, their shadows stretched long by the setting sun.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“It seems that the key to this war lies not in the gods, nor in the devils, but in whether we can get more people on our side.” His voice was very soft.
“That depends on what we can find in the Abyss of Destruction.”
Ning Zhi’s voice came from behind him. He also walked to the entrance of the hall and looked towards where the human and beast cultivators had gone. “If we find enough, all the heretical cultivators in the 20th heaven will become our allies. If we don’t find anything, then we will have to rely on ourselves to fight.”
“So this time, success is the only option; failure is not an option.” David turned around and looked at Ning Zhi. “Are you ready?”
“When am I not ready?” Ning Zhi’s voice was calm.
“See you in three days.” David turned and walked out of the hall, his gray robe waving gently in the evening breeze.
