Duan Shulin and Chen Guan exchanged a glance, both sensing the displeasure on each other's faces.

"Chen Guan, think carefully. If you become someone the Celestial Court Army doesn't trust, will Ji Nanhong still choose you? Even if she does, the entire Celestial Court Army will reject her choice. No one will accept a traitor. When that time comes and she can't take over the Celestial Court Army, how will you handle yourself?" Wang Lian, holding the ultimate move, slowly dismantled Chen Guan's psychological defenses with words.

Chen Guan glared at Wang Lian with displeasure: "How did you find out about me? No one in the Celestial Court Army knows about this."

"Our Wang Family naturally has its own ways; you don't need to know." Wang Lian grew increasingly dominant.

"I have to know. Otherwise, how can I be sure how many of you know about this and whether it will leak out? Do you think I'd do something where I end up with nothing?" Chen Guan said coldly.

Seeing Chen Guan's resolute attitude, Wang Lian pondered for a moment and then said, "As long as we reach a cooperation, I can tell you and ensure that besides the four people here, no one else will know."

"How can you assure that? With just empty words?" Chen Guan snorted.

"You have no choice but to believe me. But rest assured, this matter benefits both you and me, and I still want to make money from it afterward. Reporting you offers me no advantage at all. Besides, the little Flower Demon is in my hands and hasn't appeared with you. Even if I report, no one would believe me, right?" Wang Lian said faintly.

"Eight hundred each, not a cent less. If you don't buy, then report me. At worst, I'll turn them in myself; the reward I get won't be small." Chen Guan gritted his teeth and said.

Wang Lian and Wang Ying exchanged a glance; Wang Lian stood up and extended her delicate hand towards Chen Guan: "Happy cooperation."

"Don't let me see you again." Chen Guan slapped Wang Lian's hand away, appearing quite ungentlemanly.

Wang Lian was in an extremely joyful mood, not caring at all about these things.

The more agitated Chen Guan became, the happier she was.

The Wang Family had already conducted an in-depth investigation; the red dot disease appearing in Beimang Mountain should be caused by the evil energy emanated from Cuiyun Mountain.

And the little Flower Demons have already become extinct, with analysis suggesting that as the concentration of evil energy increased, these little Flower Demons responsible for digesting the evil energy couldn't withstand the sudden surge and were annihilated.

Thus, every little Flower Demon is essentially a rare item. Apart from them, no other Secret Spirit can treat the red dot disease, so the value of the little Flower Demons will continue to rise.

Moreover, the increase will be incredibly exaggerated; one to two thousand is simply not its limit. Wang Lian believes it can rise to at least ten thousand each.

At eight hundred each, acquiring them back allows her to make a lot of money. Besides, acquiring these little Flower Demons isn't just for profit.

Without little Flower Demons, it becomes challenging to station large numbers of troops in the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm. If the Celestial Court Army wants to continue occupying this place, Chen Guan's batch of little Flower Demons becomes essential.

The Celestial Court Army has already started collecting little Flower Demons at high prices, but unfortunately, most of them have been collected by Chen Guan, leaving very few available on the market.

Wang Lian intended to acquire this batch of little Flower Demons before the Celestial Court Army discovered them in Chen Guan's hands, enabling her not only to make a fortune but also to negotiate special conditions with the Celestial Court Army.

Chen Guan sold fourteen thousand little Flower Demons to Wang Lian at the price of eight hundred each, retaining a few thousand for himself.

Wang Lian knew Chen Guan must have kept some; if he hadn't, she'd think Chen Guan was either stupid or had issues.

Initially, Chen Guan claimed to have ten thousand, but Wang Lian promptly presented the Wang Family's investigation data, forcing Chen Guan to reveal fourteen thousand.

Wang Lian knew Chen Guan had kept only a few, which wouldn't cause any trouble, so she didn't continue to press him.

For the fourteen thousand Flower Demons, Chen Guan received eleven million two hundred thousand in total. After deducting the three million capital he and Duan Shulin put in, this deal netted him ten million nine hundred thousand, instantly becoming a billionaire.

"Goodbye." Wang Lian, having obtained the Flower Demons, felt elated.

"Hopefully, we'll never meet again." Chen Guan merely said lightly.

Seeing the two leave, Duan Shulin felt infuriated: "The Wang Family can come and go freely in such a Celestial Court Army-exclusive Secret Realm like Beimang Mountain? Could it be that even the Celestial Court Army is rotten to the core?"

"Calm down. After all, we made money. What's there to be mad about? Let's divide the money first," Chen Guan calculated: "First, take out our three million capital; you and I each get one hundred fifty thousand. The remaining money will be split into three portions—your one hundred fifty thousand counts as one, my one hundred fifty thousand as another, and my information channel as a third... Add up the money spent renting a shop... I'll cover this...

Chen Guan was quite happy, even though he sold them at a lower price; it saved him time and effort, which he currently valued most.

Without returning the Celestial Immortal Peony, someone from above could come down at any time, tantamount to having a time bomb that could explode unexpectedly overhead.

Also, Chen Guan initially planned to sell to a middleman, never actually intending to do retail.

Being distributed a third already made Duan Shulin very excited; he hadn't expected Chen Guan to share so much, given he had only invested half the money, and the profit wasn't his idea. Moreover, he hadn't anticipated earning such a large sum, profiting a few million with just this deal.

Wang Lian was also thrilled, taunting Chen Guan from afar while walking: "Chen Guan, oh Chen Guan, you ended up being played by me. Did you really think selling off the Flower Demons would be the end?"

"Eagle Uncle, did the Spirit Shadow Jade record everything?" Wang Lian looked at Wang Ying beside her.

"Yes, all recorded." Wang Ying took out a crystal, from which strange light and shadow emerged, resembling a kaleidoscope.

"Isn't the Celestial Court Army investigating the acquisition of Flower Demons? Let's assist them. Send the Spirit Shadow Jade to them and see how Chen Guan gets by this time." Wang Lian never intended to spare Chen Guan; she not only wanted to profit from his Flower Demons but also ensured he remained infamous, unable to rise again, thus pacifying her heart's resentment.

If Chen Guan is expelled from the Reserve Team for such treachery, she could act against him at any time and seize the last part of the "Epang Canon" with him.

Her plan seemed perfect, yet she was unaware that various detailed information about her and Wang Ying's activities in the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm was laid on Xiu Jie Ming's desk.

The Celestial Court Army hasn't approached Chen Guan and is still acquiring Flower Demons, all orchestrated by him.

The powers above were entirely unaware of Chen Guan's affairs, which were suppressed by him.

Although he had left, he had someone watching Chen Guan to ensure the Celestial Immortal Peony was returned.

Though Xiu Jie Ming didn't think Chen Guan would backtrack, he was meticulous in his work, never leaving anything unfinished.

This allowed him to notice something amusing; what Chen Guan instructed Duan Shulin to do was naturally something Xiu Jie Ming couldn't overlook, making him quickly guess the underlying problem and discover Wang Lian secretly investigating Chen Guan and Duan Shulin.

"Commander... Latest news... Wang Lian and the others have completed their transaction with Chen Guan..." The adjutant came over to deliver intelligence.

"Then let's dump the Flower Demons we acquired." Xiu Jie Ming's lips curved into a smile.
