Chapter 1099: Chapter 526: The Lineup of Six Witches!

The anger in this woman’s eyes surged as she spoke, as if she had suffered many grievances at the hands of the Witch School.

Hearing the woman’s words, an old woman playing with a purple-golden double-headed small snake in her hands asked coldly,

“Biao Ling, I know you have always been at odds with the Witch School and have suffered a lot at their hands.”

“But you can’t give up such a ready opportunity just because you suffered that one time!”

“If we’re really talking about it, the overall strength of the Witch School is stronger than our Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes, and it’s our Forest that is benefiting from the Witch School’s influence.”

The woman named Biao Ling, caressing the scar that ran from her cheek down to her collarbone, didn’t feel her anger subside because of the old woman’s words; instead, it intensified.

The losses she had incurred at the hands of those crafty witches from the Witch School were not due to personal vendettas.

It was during a partnership between the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes and the Witch School.

Her injuries weren’t caused by someone from the Witch School, yet they were undeniably linked to them.

This injury hadn’t been suffered by anyone else; otherwise, they wouldn’t still be thinking this way.

Before Biao Ling could retort, a man playing with a turquoise dagger embedded with large stones spoke,

“This time the Witch School hopes to borrow two Order members from us.”

“Currently, only two of us have successfully reached the Order, Mi Jia and I.”

“Since Mi Jia also agrees with this partnership with the Witch School, let both Mi Jia and I go!”

“The others who are not involved should continue to handle affairs within the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes.”

“The birthday of the Spirit Snake Shaman is just a few days away, and this year we must sacrifice a million essence blood of Serpent beasts to him.”

“Almost all the Serpent beasts on the Ocean Stone Continent have been sacrificed, so we should trade as much as possible with other federations and forces.”

Upon hearing what the man in front of her said, Biao Ling was at a loss for words for a long while.

Yes, this operation was a cooperation between the Order-level strong of the Witch School and the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Her own strength was still some distance from stepping into the Order.

When Mi Jia had first been at the same level as her, the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes’ allocation of resources was still quite fair.

But once Mi Jia stepped into the Order and became the strongest in the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes,

the distribution of resources in the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes began to be controlled by Mi Jia alone.

Peng Lang’s strength was middle to lower among the six.

The reason he was able to reach the Order in such a short time was due to Mi Jia’s investment in him.

The relationship between Peng Lang and Mi Jia was unknown to others in the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes.

But it was no secret among the six.

An old man with skin piled up like chicken skin said in a hoarse voice,

“We celebrate the birthday of the Spirit Snake Shaman every year.”

“In previous years, either I or Biao Ling presided over the Spirit Snake Shaman’s birthday, and Mi Jia has also presided a few times.”

“Every year, as long as there’s no major accident, the most we can capture is around five to six hundred thousand Serpent beasts.”

“And some of those have to be distributed to the core members of the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes as contractual items.”

“In the best harvest year within the last fifty years, we captured only about six to seven hundred thousand Serpent beasts.”

“Peng Lang, it’s your first year managing the ceremony; there’s no need to aim too high.”

“From my personal point of view, it’s really unnecessary to trade with other federations for this.”

“If we do this, the Bixi Federation’s resources will definitely become income deficient in the coming decades!”

“Our Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes’ plan to recruit new members will also have to be postponed because of your decision.”

The words of this old man echoed the sentiments of Biao Ling and the others.

A million Serpent beasts were nearly double the usual amount needed for two Spirit Snake Shaman birthday celebrations.

You have to know that nowadays on the Ocean Stone Continent, the reserve of Serpent beast resources is much smaller than before.

Decades ago, we could capture seven to eight hundred thousand Serpent beasts each year.

Now, managing to get three to four hundred thousand in a year is barely sufficient.

If Peng Lang wanted to make a name for himself during his first time presiding over the Spirit Snake Shaman’s birthday ceremony after stepping into the Order, it was not incomprehensible.

According to the sequence, this year shouldn’t have been Peng Lang presiding over the Spirit Snake Shaman’s birthday ceremony.

Peng Lang added a bias, yet he was preparing to participate in the partnership with the Witch School before the ceremony started.

This was indeed somewhat disrespectful to the Spirit Snake Shaman’s ceremony!

If it were not for this, the old man would not have spoken to single out Peng Lang.

In a clan, when an Order Strong questions an Order-level strong,

it doesn’t benefit the Order-level strong in any way.

Not everyone is as stubborn as Biao Ling.

Biao Ling, about to say something upon hearing this, only heard Mi Jia say coldly,

“The action with the Witch School has already been decided.”

“Preparing a million Serpent beings for this birthday of the Spirit Snake Shaman is also a sign of respects to the Spirit Snake Shaman.”

“The Bixi Federation has established relations with several federations, purchasing a few hundred thousand Serpent beasts won’t be difficult.”

“By the next festival, we can return to the usual five hundred thousand!”

Ever since Mi Jia stepped into the Order, the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes had become his one-man show.

No one had the power to oppose Mi Jia’s decisions.

Even if they did oppose, it would be futile.

Biao Ling and the old man both shut their mouths.

The other two who had not reached the Order also had very unnatural expressions on their faces.

The Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes’ annual resource harvest was fixed.

These resources were originally divided equally among the six.

But ever since Mi Jia alone reached enlightenment, Mi Jia took half of the resources for himself.
