Chapter 683: Rebuilding Territory, Seeking the Hu Family Again

In the end, Qin Xiao truly managed to defend the Ascending Platform. This result even surprised Qin Xiao himself.

Keeping it was enough, and Qin Xiao let the rest go. The Ascending Platform’s grounds spanned only about one li, still more than a thousand mu. That was one ten-thousandth of the original area. He could forget about a city, but it was enough for a small Seven Stars Tower.

Qin Xiao then asked the Minotaurs for permission to bring in workers and build houses.

The Minotaurs initially refused. Only after Qin Xiao paid a security deposit of one thousand Immortal Stones for each person did they reluctantly agree.

Moreover, there were many additional conditions. For example, members of the Minotaur Clan had to supervise on-site, the entry route was designated by the Minotaur Clan, and Qin Xiao would have to be responsible for trade between the Minotaur Clan and the Immortal Clan in the future.

Moreover, the Minotaur Clan would also need large amounts of resources. The Immortal Clan definitely wouldn’t sell to them, but Qin Xiao could act as a middleman for resale. Then he could earn another margin. This kind of business that could earn profits from both sides naturally made Qin Xiao agree.

But when this news reached the Immortal Domain, people there greeted Qin Xiao with suspicion and accusations.

How could you, kid, have a piece of land in the Minotaur Clan territory? You went to the Barren Lands before. Could it be that you reached some cooperation with the Minotaur Clan and betrayed the Immortal Clan? Otherwise, how could the Minotaur Clan advance here so smoothly?
