Bank of The Universe

Chapter 115: Head Of Scholars

In the end, Li Xiandao tossed Tian Guangming into the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository to calm himself down and to control his strength. He also wanted him to stop behaving like a sissy.

Li Xiandao had rewarded Michael and the others by letting them enter. So, this could be considered a reward for Tian Guangming too.

But this was just once. If they wanted to enter in the future, they had to do so by merit.

Within the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao and Seven were discussing something.

“When are you going to help Long Mixu become the Empress?” Seven asked.

The contract stated that the Bank of the Universe had to help Long Mixu become the Empress.

Li Xiandao was in deep thought, “How much chance do we have to help her become Empress with our current strength?”

Seven thought about it seriously, “If you don’t help, then we don’t have even a 10% chance.”

Li Xiandao nodded, “I agree. Even if I help her suppress all the experts, other people might be tempted. Ten Thousand Dragon Empire is so huge and I can’t keep paying attention to the Ten Thousand Dragon Empire just because of Long Mixu.

Li Xiandao could charge into the palace and force the Emperor to give his throne to her.

But was that useful?

No!

Li Xiandao heard Long Mixu mention that the Imperial Family Ancients had to agree to the choice of the next heir.

The Ancients were the foundations of the Ten Thousand Dragon Empire. There would be many experts in each generation laying in seclusion within. Unless something huge happened in the Ten Thousand Dragon Empire or they faced a crisis, they wouldn’t appear.

The Ancients were the core of the Ten Thousand Dragon Empire. If they didn’t agree, then Long Mixu wouldn’t be able to become the Empress.

Moreover, even if she became the Empress, without helpers and without an army, people would stage a coup and make her a puppet Empress.

This was something that Li Xiandao didn’t want to see happen.

Seven was deep in thought, “This means that Long Mixu has to have her own army.”

“Since ancient times, power has always been everything. As long as Long Mixu has an invincible army under her and officials who can help her manage minor issues in the world, then she will be able to stage a coup. Without this, it will be nearly impossible for her to become the Empress.” Li Xiandao nodded his head.

“Then, how should we help her?” Seven asked curiously.

“If Long Mixu controls the Ten Thousand Dragon Empire, that means that I control the Ten Thousand Dragon Empire. When needed, I will lend her an invincible army.” Li Xiandao had it planned out.

“What about officials?” Seven said.

Since they had an army, then what about people to manage the empire?

An army was needed to fight wars, but not to rule people. They still needed a bunch of scholars to support Long Mixu such that she could control the land she owned. Only then could she suppress and maintain peace in the land.

This was something that would take time.

Li Xiandao waved his hand, “There is no need to rush. We have just arrived in Ancient Desolate Land and are not familiar with anything. Long Mixu is also still really young. Once we get stronger, we will help her take over the throne.”

Seven nodded her head and asked, “Then, what should we do now?”

“Did you forget what our role and job is?” Li Xiandao asked her instead.

Seven recalled right away, “Reclaim debts?”

“Right. We have collected nearly everything that Dali Land owes us, but nothing from Ancient Desolate Land. Since we are here, we can’t let them live on happily without any consequence at all.” Li Xiandao scoffed coldly.

Although Li Xiandao was really strong now, but he still hadn’t forgotten where he came from and what he had to do.

Collecting debts was the thing that he paid the most attention to.

Seven added, “There are many contracts in Ancient Desolate Land. Apart from those that owners have died, there are still many who are waiting for us to deal with them.”

“Which problem needs to be solved the soonest?” Li Xiandao asked. He handed this mission over to Seven previously and since then, he didn’t bother to look and ask about the contracts.

Seven took one out and passed it to Li Xiandao, “This one.”

Li Xiandao took a look at it and then she looked towards her in shock, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, this is the contract.” Seven nodded her head.

Li Xiandao looked at the details on the contract.

“Mortal Zhang Xiao’er borrowed a sage’s cultural intellect from the Bank of the Universe for 10,000 years. In 10,000 years, he will return even more intellect along with his own life.” Li Xiandao read it out.

“How did this mortal manage to loan the sage’s intellect?” Li Xiandao was shocked.

This contract was a mess.

Seven dissed, “This Zhang Xiao’er has never studied and he craved knowledge. However, he was also really lazy and he wasn’t able to study hard. He was able to enter the Bank of the Universe by luck and he spoke of his request. The last owner felt like it was interesting and thus he agreed.”

“He thought that it was interesting?” Li Xiandao didn’t understand what the last owner was thinking.

How was this interesting?

What did a mortal have to exchange for a sage’s cultural intellect?

“Maybe because he wanted to give a mortal a sage’s intellect and then see how he used it, to brag and show off. Maybe he felt like that would be interesting.” Seven said helplessly.

“Preposterous!’ Li Xiandao laughed coldly.

“Where is Zhang Xiao’er now?” Li Xiandao asked.

Seven used the Bank of the Universe’s power and started to search. She was shocked, “Zhang Xiao’er actually became the Ten Thousand Dragon Empire’s Head of Scholars during these 10,000 years. Maybe people are calling him a saint and saying that he is the cultural ancestor of the generation.”

Li Xiandao laughed in disdain, “He is just scum who has lived for a long time. He is just faking it and cheating the people.”

“The key is many people believe him. Also, he changed his name.” Seven didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“What is he called?” Li Xiandao asked curiously.

“Sage Zhang!” Seven nearly burst out laughing, and she hugged the contract.

“That is quite direct.” Li Xiandao burst into laughter. However, he suddenly thought about something else.

“Since Zhang Xiao’er is the Head of Scholars, then doesn’t that mean he is really reputable and many people will listen to him?” Li Xiandao asked.

“That should be it, otherwise, he wouldn’t be the head.” Seven nodded her head.

“Since that is the case, then we can make use of him.” Li Xiandao opened the contract and saw the conditions for breaking the contract.

“Once the contract is broken, the soul will forever be enslaved, allowing the master to command him to do whatever he wants!”

Li Xiandao pointed at it and said, “He has already broken the contract so based on this, I can capture his soul and take his sage intellect back.”

“Yes.” Seven nodded.

Li Xiandao gave a devilish smile, “If he knows that someone from the Bank of the Universe is coming, will he be afraid?”

Seven was stunned.

“This person is helpful to Long Mixu’s dream of becoming the Empress. If he knows his place, I will let him live. If not, then I shall follow this contract.” Li Xiandao scoffed coldly.
