Chapter 267: Brothers Dividing Property

After returning to the Mansion of the Dead, Yue Yao comforted the frustrated Liu Chai again. Soon later, he led the convoy back home and started to prepare for the next support of resources.
As soon as he reached the Land of the Nine Luminaries, Yue Yao quickly gathered his eight brothers and told them about his encounter in Beiqi.
Yue Yao’s description was not much different than that of the nine messengers who first visited Beiqi.
Even if they were to suspect the sayings of the messengers, they would naturally believe the words of Yue Yao, a brother whom they had all grown up with.
Upon understanding the entire situation, they decided to fully aid the uprising of the Mansion of the Dead.
After all, except for giving out some of their resources, it could only benefit them for doing this. Without even a single soldier, they could take down Beiqi. The bargain was absolutely worth it.
Thereafter, a few more waves of resources were continuously sent to the Mansion of the Dead.
However, Yue Yao did not go along in the later trips because it might be risky for him to travel to Beiqi. After knowing the situation at the Mansion of the Dead, he believed fully in Liu Chai, so it was unnecessary for him to face the possibility of being discovered by Lie Shan.
The players were very fruitful for the following days.
Resources from the Land of the Nine Luminaries kept on coming and the players were on cloud nine. All the guilds managed to upgrade their overall power with the materials.
Nevertheless, things had not come to an end, they needed to continue their acting.
In later stages, the players even had a few more conflicts with the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King.
The arriving messengers were very satisfied and thought that everything was going according to their plan.
To them, with the increasing power of the players, the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King would soon be under their command. Following that, their chance to take over Beiqi was just around the corner.
…
During this period of time, all of the players had somehow turned into excellent actors and actresses. Every day, their only task was just to act in front of their enemies.
Not having to move a finger, they could get a lot of resources. They were somehow embarrassed to have received so many waves of support from the Land of the Nine Luminaries.
In the meantime, the players did not forget to improve their skills and abilities with the donated resources.
There were various kinds of resources. Many of the players who had been lacking spiritual materials took the chance to perform class advancement, whereas the other players sold some of the spiritual materials in exchange for soul coins. With the soul coins, they were able to buy upgraded equipment in the shop.
All of this was only the first step in Yin Xiaoqi’s script because resources were not the only thing that the players needed.
In the following two weeks, wars broke out repeatedly in Beiqi, but Yue Yao in the Land of the Nine Luminaries was like an ant in a hot pot.
Under the attacks of the players, the Hydra King and the Rock Ghost King had become allies. Although with the resources from the Mansion of the Dead, they were able to maintain their advantage in combat, it did not have any practical help with their expansion of territories.
Six waves of resources were sent to them in total. Especially in the sixth wave of resources, Yue Yao had increased the amount threefold in order to speed up the increase of power of the Mansion of the Dead.
Yue Yao was not satisfied with the outcome.
Not only Yue Yao, but the other eight brothers were starting to feel anxious, too.
Even if they had endless resources, they couldn’t be supplying them forever.
The nine brothers were gathered in the Dark Heaven Pavilion to discuss the next steps of the plan concerning Beiqi.
As the person-in-charge of matters regarding Beiqi, Yue Yao first voiced out his opinion. He indicated that they should continue the supply of resources to the Mansion of the Dead to grow the power of the Player Clan. That way, they could conquer Beiqi in no time.
Although his eight brothers didn’t say it out loud, disagreement with his suggestion was written all over their faces.
The resources belonged to everybody, but once Beiqi was taken down, the victory would only be owned by Yue Yao himself.
As the eldest brother, His Excellency Xing Yao had no second opinion. However, the other seven brothers failed to agree.
“Second brother, I suppose Lie Shan won’t be coming back anymore. Let’s attack them directly!” third brother Ri Yao downed the wine in his glass and smacked it on the table while he bellowed.
“What if Lie Shan comes back then?” Yue Yao knew that they had been dragging this for too long, but he was not confident about launching a direct attack.
“I’ve already been to the Earth Breaking Clan’s camping grounds. The entire campsite has been evacuated, they won’t be back anymore. Second brother, stop hesitating and start taking action. Besides, even if Lie Shan were to return, you can just run back here. Lie Shan won’t dare step onto our land to find death for himself,” fifth brother Jin Yao gave Yue Yao the same advice.
Yue Yao felt irritated and was about to open his mouth to say something, but soon noticed his eighth brother Huo Yao banging on the table at the side.
“Second brother, we’ve been in all kinds of wars together for all these years. Why should we be afraid of Lie Shan? If we continue to drag on, it won’t bring us any advantages. How about this, if you’re not going, I’m going!”
As soon as Huo Yao’s words fell, the rest of the brothers fell into silence.
Their brother’s intention was very clear now. If Yue Yao didn’t have the guts to attack, he would, and if he succeeded, the position of His Excellency would no doubt be his in the future.
If his brother were to take action instead, where would he place himself then? Yue Yao’s face turned green.
“Alright. Since all my brothers have entrusted me with the position of His Excellency, it would be ridiculous if I stayed quiet this time. I’ll send the resources myself this time. I swear to annihilate the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King, then conquer the entire Beiqi!” Yue Yao clenched his teeth.
“Second brother, that’s right. Although Lie Shan is strong, you still have so many brothers behind you. As long as you can get back here in time, I doubt Lie Shan would dare to fight with all of us!” Xing Yao, who had remained silent, finally spoke up.
“I agree with my eldest brother. I’ll be taking the lead this time and I will definitely take over Beiqi!” Yue Yao nodded in agreement.
“Second brother, we are all brothers, don’t be offended. My words were a little too harsh just now and I apologize. I hereby wish you the success in defeating Beiqi and inheriting the throne of His Excellency!” eighth brother Huo Yao lifted his wine glass up in the air.
Seeing that, the other brothers did the same.
“We’re all brothers, how would I take it to heart!?” Yue Yao lifted his wine glass, too, while stomaching all his anger.
Ultimately, it was very risky. If Lie Shan were to return when he was attacking Beiqi, it would be hard to say whether he could come back in one piece.
However, if he was not willing to attack, his eight brothers were obviously unwilling to continue with the free supply of resources.
Faced with the dilemma, Yue Yao could only choose to risk his life for the throne. This would be his only chance.
After the meeting, Yue Yao started with the preparation of resources. Then he gave an order for the assembly of his army, ready for the battle with Beiqi.
Since he had already decided to fight and rule Beiqi, Yue Yao would no doubt bring along his army.
Whether Lie Shan would return, Yue Yao did not care anymore.
On top of that, if he really met Lie Shan and failed to come back, his army would be useless being left behind.
Yue Yao had already grown to accept the worst-case scenario. If he were to succeed, he would be the leader of Beiqi.
Especially after the blessings of the Great Emperor, his power would be immensely heightened. Even if he really had to face Lie Shan by then, it was not entirely impossible for him to escape.
After evaluating all the pros and cons, Yue Yao made the first step.
When everything was ready, Yue Yao led his 2,300,000 soldier army and headed toward Beiqi.
Apart from his jewelry in the Resource Warehouse, he brought along all of the other resources with him.
Since he had left the Land of the Nine Luminaries, they needed to be clear with the division of property even though they were brothers.
Nonetheless, goods like jewelry had not yet been divided among the brothers. Anyone with the need could use them. They could always divide up these treasures when he got back.
