Shi Lang stood inside the tent and there were five people around him. The man looked at everyone and asked, "What is the final status of the negotiation with the head of the Verdant Green Holy Land?"

    Every one heard his voice and instinctively stood up in attention. Commander Silence, Hunk, and Shrapnel exchanged a glance and the bulky man said with spiritual communication, ''Supreme General still got it.''

    The two men could not help but feel excited when they saw Shi Lang like this. The scene reminded them of when he led the army back in the federation. Putting their excitement aside, Shrapnel said, "The scouts will be returning shortly and we will find out about the final status. As for now, they are still negotiating." Read new chapters at empire

    Shi Lang clenched his fist and said, "Connect me to the scouts."

    Shrapnel nodded and quickly used his communicator and stated his intention to the scouts.

    ...

    Inside the main hall of the Verdant Green Holy Land, an old man and a few other high level people sat on their chairs and two people dressed in a black and red armor stood before them. The armor even covered their faces.

    The old people were all Dao Lords and the one leading them was even a Dao King, but none of them sensed the two Dao Soldiers approaching. This was a shock to them and what was even more, their aura did not phase the two people. One of them even stated that if they died, the entire floating island will go down to the surface with them as they have placed bombs all over the place.

    Just when the leader was acting skeptically, one of the Dao Soldier guard''s hand exploded to smithereens. This was the tactic that intimated the people, but the next moment the two uninvited strangers tossed a limb regeneration pill to the injured guard and the limb regrew in a few moments.

    The elders had keen eyes and they found that the pill was a tribulation level pill. They were shocked when one of the scouts asked, "What will it take for you to isolate the Juan Family and exile them from the Verdant Holy Garden?"

    The people were shocked and the other scout said, "In return we will pay you hundred tribulation level pills."

    This was another bomb that was dropped on the elders. There were nine people in total and hundred tribulation pills were luxuries elixirs that were rare even in the mainland, when have they been able to afford them.

    Someone was overcome by greed by then the sect leader reminded them about the bombs on the island. They could not even detect that something was wrong with the guard beside them how will they find the bombs on the island. Even if they manage to save the floating city, a lot of people will still die.

    They were deliberating when suddenly the messenger said, "Our Hall Master will talk with you."

    That said the person raised his hand and the two of them knelt on one knee. The hologram screen lit up and Shi Lang''s face appeared in the void.

    His cold eyes and the almost tangible killing intent shocked the people. The sect leader was intimidated and asked, "Who are you, Sir?"

    While the people were shocked by the coldness of his gaze and words, they recalled how he sat beside Amelia''s grave for an entire year without blinking his eyes. The humility they all faced that day when the lady was killed and they could not even reach her in time. This made their blood boil.

    Shi Lang began to delegate tasks and the people were dispatched. They he took out a few dozen Dao Weapons and gave it to relevant people. He then said to Hao Mei, "Xiao Mei, we will be refining pills till the last moment, are you ready?"

    The young girl nodded and said, "I am, Master."

    They came to a secluded place and began to refine tribulation level pills. While Hao Mei handled one cauldron, Shi Lang created clones that helped him and the young lady by separating the herbs and material needed. The sky was filled with lightning strikes, but the two people did not stop.

    Shi Lang used his higher flame control and taught the same to Hao Mei. The two of them worked for six hours and refined five thousand pills. The rest were taken from the Asura Hall Inventory.

    Ma Yang was known to be stingy but this time he did not hesitate for even a second and organized the gifts. Shi Lang casually tossed over a Dao Sword to Ma Yang and said, "Have this sword delivered to the Verdant Green Holy Land after the battle is finished."

    The middle aged man nodded, Shi Lang then told the five heads to organize the hall members and for them to gather in a few minutes. The night was about to hit the midnight hour.

    ...

    On the floating island, Juan Family was surrounded by the strongest people of the Verdant Green Holy Land elder council and the strongest members of their families. This made the face of the head of the Juan family turn green in anger and disdain.

    He yelled, "Han, what have I done for you to call so many people here?"

    Sect Leader Han did not say much and tossed him a jade card. Old Man Juan sensed the content inside and his face changed. He looked at the sect leader who said, "If you and your family did not leave the holy land withing an hour, then it would no longer be the exile but execution. You are not to bring all and any resource that have been given to you from the sect."

    The leader of the Juan Family was indignant but in the face of so many experts, even if they were to self detonate, the impact would not make a difference and his family would be wiped out. Thankfully, these old people allowed his family to leave. He waved his hand and ordered his family to follow him immediately.

    The Juan Family was shocked, they did not expect something like this to happen, they were all rich and proud. However, now, they were nothing. The ladies who had married into the Juan Family decided to boycott them and returned to their own families. While the women from the Juan Family who married out were also sent back. There was a lot of drama, but the people who had accepted the benefits did not hold back and were decisive with there actions.

    The floating island was surrounded by a an anti flying array, there were only one way to get in, that was to use the teleportation array. The members of the Asura hall went in and out by disguising and snatching the access tokens from the disciples who were out to train. They were all trained in espionage over the years by Commander Silence, and the rest of the Shadow Executioner department.

    After the entire Juan Family teleported outside, one elder said, "Remove the spirit stones, do not allow the teleportation array to be used for entering in the sect."

    The disciples below nodded and bowed in acceptance. None of the people knew what was going on, but they knew that whatever it was, it was big.
