Urban All-Round Master-Chapter 1667 - 1701: Holy Daughter—Taihuang Demon
The Taishang Sect has existed in Jiangzhou for thousands of years, and a thousand years ago it was called the ’Heartless Sect’ and ’Wuqing Sect’. Besides a Sect Hierarch and a Holy Daughter, there are no other people in the sect. It is also the most mysterious sect in all of Huaxia.
Yet they have control over many forces. The Shangguan Family, for example, is one of the factions under their control.
Most importantly, the Taishang Sect embodies the heartlessness and emotionlessness that have persisted for millennia. Even today, the legend of Taishang heartlessness still circulates.
And indeed, the Taishang Sect is proven to be a heartless sect. The Sect Hierarch, Supreme Emperor, has mastered the Heartless Demon Technique, killing father, killing mother, killing brother, killing sister, killing kin... all roots of emotion have been erased by his own hands.
Even in the millennia-old Taishang Sect, there are essentially no other disciples besides the Sect Hierarch and the Holy Daughter... in modern terms, it’s ’bizarre and outlandish’.
"Holy Daughter! Holy Daughter! I beg you, you must save me. Please save me!" As soon as Shangguan Chong saw the appearance of the Holy Daughter, he immediately found a lifeline.
"Shangguan Chong, what has driven you to such a state?" The Holy Daughter Taihuang Demon looked at Shangguan Chong with curious, focused eyes.
"Holy Daughter, you don’t know. Our Shangguan Family is about to be wiped out by a newly rising force. If you don’t appear soon, in no time, our Shangguan Family will cease to exist."
As he spoke, Shangguan Chong even shed old tears, evoking a mix of sympathy and irritability in others.
Of course, Taihuang Demon, as the only disciple Holy Daughter of the Taishang Sect, naturally wouldn’t be swayed by his few words of partiality. It should be known that she cultivated the Heartless Demon Technique alongside Supreme Emperor, her heart as calm as autumn water, how could she be moved by a few casual words?
"Tell me, what exactly happened," Taihuang Demon asked calmly.
"It’s like this, we..."
To get the Taishang Sect to take action, Shangguan Chong recounted the conflict between their family and Lin Zifeng, exaggerating and embellishing as he went. He even claimed that Lin Zifeng would soon come to Jiangzhou to crusade against the Taishang Sect, causing the Holy Daughter Taihuang Demon’s eyebrows to knit slightly.
"There is such an arrogant and presumptuous person in the world?" Taihuang Demon furrowed her willow-leaf brows and said in a cold voice.
"Yes! He declared he would destroy my Shangguan Family first, and then annihilate my Taishang Sect. If you, Holy Daughter, don’t take action, with his cultivation progressing at this speed, in less than two years, there will be few in all of Huaxia who can do anything about him."
Shangguan Chong spoke with determination, his sinister eyes constantly observing the changes in Taihuang Demon’s expression. He was a person who could say the right words to anyone, and if not for this ability to read people, his position as Family Head would have long been taken from him.
In reality, the Shangguan Family was not without experts, but most of the family’s Supreme Elders were in secluded cultivation, unable to break out of their retreats. Otherwise, why would Shangguan Chong come here to beg the Taishang Sect for help?
"Arrogant!"
Taihuang Demon’s brows shot up, her eyes bursting with intense light, full of domineering presence. She descended from the rooftop of the observatory with unparalleled momentum.
"Tell me, where is he now? I want to see who dares to challenge our Taishang Sect!"
"Good! Good! Good! Shangguan Chong is willing to lead the way for the Holy Daughter."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shangguan Chong’s heart immediately rejoiced. Three days ago, he had hit rock bottom in life, trampled like mud; three days later, this pent-up indignation was somewhat released...
......
Meanwhile, on the other side, three days passed in the blink of an eye. After a bloody battle with the Shangguan Family, the strength of the South Heavenly Gate also suffered a heavy blow. After all, they were not families with a thousand-year legacy, and in terms of foundation, they naturally could not compare.
Several members of the Hidden Kill and Ming Zhan brothers died, leaving everyone in the two major halls in mourning for several days. To comfort these brothers, Lin Zifeng specially found the families of the deceased and gave each one ten million in compensation funds, hoping that the dead could rest in peace.
Then, over at the Shadow Group, they selected several members with high combat power to join Ming Zhan, and then picked a few from Ming Zhan to join Hidden Kill to make up the losses...
Zhang Xixi’s execution ability exceeded Lin Zifeng’s expectations.
Originally, the Huayu Group faced various blockades from the Shangguan Family, causing new film promotions to come to a halt.
Finally, Lin Zifeng proposed an extremely bold idea: since those internet giants banned and blocked their promotional advertisements, Lin Zifeng directly made a big move.
As long as those internet giants agreed to promote Huayu Group’s new film to the end, he was willing to give them a 30% share of the new film’s profits!
What does 30% mean? Even after various promotional, post-production, budget, crew, and personnel expenses, what Lin Zifeng earned was hardly more than a small change.
What pleased Lin Zifeng the most was that Huahua and Tangtang did not take a single penny.
They now considered the Huayu Group their home. They shared both the hardships and the joys with the Huayu Group.
Originally, someone within the group suggested signing a few big-name stars to join Huayu Group, but Lin Zifeng flatly refused. Big-name stars were not born famous; they climbed up step by step from being third-rate actors. Therefore, what the Huayu Group wanted were homegrown big stars.
Initially, the Broadcasting Bureau had banned Lin Zifeng’s film, which also cost Lin Zifeng a large sum to resolve.
As for those collaborators, and some sponsors and investors, who had previously withdrawn and terminated various contracts with the Huayu Group, Lin Zifeng ignored them completely.
When the new film was released and achieved great success, let them cry with regret...
Zhang Xixi brought good news to Lin Zifeng: he now controlled all the 5D cinemas in both Yanjing and Zhonghai. Although 5D cinemas had not yet been formalized domestically, the Huayu Group directly acquired several 5D film companies.
They even bundled all 5D cinemas together; the new film would not only be shown in regular 3D cinemas but also in 5D, offering different effects.
The most surprising thing was that the key strategy of Huayu Group was that all tickets were half-price!
Children could attend for free, which was even cheaper than group purchases. Some people even suspected that the Huayu Group must be crazy to do this.
On the fifth day, several internet giant platforms, fighting for profit shares, threw themselves into promoting Huayu Group’s new film.
It should be known that Huahua and Tangtang’s previous film won the Best Newcomer Award.
Moreover, the movie’s box office was the national monthly sales champion!
They suddenly catapulted these two future big stars to fame!
Riding this wave of success, how could those internet giants not promote and market it?
From the significant advertising benefits achieved this time, Lin Zifeng gave Zhang Mengjie a new task. He wanted to create a big platform like Ten~cent, integrating all entertainment.
He also demanded the development of an application software comparable to Apple’s APP. To truly become a future internet tycoon!
