Chapter 446: Second Sword Tower?

Cornelia turned her gaze to the demon who had spoken. It was a tall and thin demon who had bat-like wings behind his back.

Cornelia smiled at the bat demon and asked. "And your reason is?"

The bat demon wasn't afraid of Cornelia. She was just a Nascent God Realm youngling in his eyes. The one he was afraid of was the human standing beside her.

This bat demon's name was Lark and he built his own force with the help of his massive slave business. The profit from the humans they sold was about forty percent of their profit! If the Great Demon Empire announced its support to the humans, he would lose about half of his possessions! He couldn't let that happen!

Lark felt a bit nervous when he sensed everyone's gazes on him, but he still answered. "Your Majesty, we've been enemies with the humans for thousands of years! Many of our ancestors even died fighting against their kind! Why would we befriend creatures like them?!"

Cornelia's expression turned cold upon hearing Lark's words. "Your Mr. Lark, right? Owner of the Blood Bat Merchant Alliance...Before I get back to you, is there anyone else who is against this?"

Cornelia glanced coldly at everyone present. With the Heavenly Sword Tower's support, she wasn't afraid of offending everyone.

"I also disagree with this."

"Me too."

Three more major powers supported Lark and all three of them were from merchant groups like him. Their entire wealth would be greatly affected if Cornelia was intent on supporting the humans.

Seeing that some were brave enough to stand with him, Lark felt a bit relieved. However, he couldn't shake off this feeling that something bad would soon happen.

"I see. Guards, see these guests off." Cornelia muttered coldly.

Tens of guards came and surrounded the four businesses magnates.

"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?! Are you making an enemy of us?! You don't know what you're doing!" Lark became angry when he saw this. How could he allow a Void God Realm expert like him to be treated like this by Nascent God Realm youngling?

The three merchants almost wetted their pants when they saw the reaction of Lark. They wanted to mediate the situation, but when they noticed the gazes sent their way, they discovered that it was already too late!

Thud.

A severed head dropped to the ground.

Ren Shuang sheathed his sword before returning beside Cornelia.

The three merchants plopped to the floor when they saw Lark's bloody head rolling over the floor.

"This... I agree! I agree! I support Your Majesty's decision!"

"I also agree!"

"Me too!"

They didn't dare oppose the newly crowned queen any further. Lark was so much stronger than them but the guy died in just one strike! How could they fight back against such power? Even the other guests were horrified when they witness this scene. At first, some of them were still skeptical about the rumors they heard, but from the looks of it, everything was true!

"Does someone still want to speak?" Cornelia smiled as she looked at the guests. She found it quite amusing to look at these scared experts.

When she noticed that no one was talking, Cornelia chuckled to herself. "In that case, I officially announce the start of the banquet! Please enjoy, everyone!"

Inside the second floor of the lotus building.

"I plan to create another sword tower here for our Heavenly Sword Tower. Which place do you suggest we build our second sword tower?" Jiu Shen glanced at the people seated with him. They were the Division Heads of the Heavenly Sword Tower and he invited them here for an important meeting.

Everyone stared at the map on the table. Everyone furrowed their eyebrows as they pondered deeply.

"Sect Master, how about this place?" The Division Head of the Heavenly Sword Division, Lu Sulan, said as she pointed at a certain location on the map.

Everyone glanced at the place she was pointing and they were surprised. "Isn't that the territory of the Poison Valley?"

Jiu Shen had a thoughtful look as he stared at the map. He then patted Lu Sulan's shoulder and said. "Good idea. With the death of their Valley Master Jiao, the Poison Valley crumbled apart and its territory is quite big. However, Narda Principality is currently in control of this piece of land. I don't want to still it away from them."

Lu Sulan smiled when she heard her master's words. "Master, I heard that Narda Principality is planning to auction the things they found in Poison Valley's base. This piece of land is included in the auctioned items."

Jiu Shen's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He then said. "Good job! You've done your homework quite well. Sulan, you will be responsible for this. You can get the money you need from the Resource Division. If it's lacking, you can ask the Bloodfallen Family for it."

Lu Sulan was happy when she heard her master's praise. "Yes, master! I'll get this done efficiently."

"You can bring Can Ye with you. As for the rest, go back and plan for the construction of our second sword tower." Jiu Shen commanded before he left the second floor.

After Jiu Shen left, the Division Heads could no longer hide their excitement. Their Heavenly Sword Tower was expanding! And they were building their second sword tower in the territory of the demons, the Crimson Fiend Continent! Who would have thought of that?

"This is brilliant! With the Sect Master behind us, who can stop our rise? Hahaha!"

"You're right! Hahaha!"

"Don't be too complacent. We all know that the sect master is planning to go back to that place. Did you forget that we are nothing compared to the true powerhouses of that place?! Remember that!" Lu Sulan glared at everyone.

"Senior Sister, you mean the Primordial God Realm that master always tells us about?" Can Ye asked.

"What else could I be talking about!?" Lu Sulan had a high position in the Heavenly Sword Tower. Everyone respected her since she was the senior disciple of Jiu Shen!
