These are just the plans at the Fassno level.

If we broaden our perspective to the entire continental chessboard: as the Gao Ying competition resumes and events unfold, Chen Zhang travels to the north and Chen Hua takes charge in the south, both of them also shoulder the mission of laying the foundation in these important directions.

At the same time, the vast area in the eastern part of the mainland cannot be left blank in Chen Xun's plan. The layout in the east also needs to start laying the groundwork and making some preparations.

This grand strategy, which concerns the development of the Chen family for decades or even centuries to come, is being laid out step by step in an orderly manner under Chen Xun's calm leadership and decisive execution.

However, for the Si family themselves, the greatest and most direct substantive benefit they gained after submitting to the Si family lay in the inheritance and access to resources.

Faced with the vast array of inherited martial arts techniques and skills available in the Chen family's Sword Pavilion, the Si siblings were truly overwhelmed with choices.

Following the template provided by the Chen family, and based on family needs, long-term development, and individual suitability, they ultimately selected the following as the foundational inheritance for the family: "The Starry Sky Without Form," "The Book of Changes: Bone Forging Chapter," "The Breathing Method of Wind," and "The Divine Claw of Destruction."

These are the core foundational elements summarized by the Chen family, which are of great significance to the overall improvement of the Si family.

As for powerful martial arts techniques such as "Nine Spiral Shadows" and "Golden Bell Cover", and even martial arts techniques suitable for subordinates such as "Wolf Walks a Thousand Miles", "Wolf God Great Art", "Frosty Wolf Soul Qi" and "Demon Soul Training", they look at them and drool, wishing they were all their own.

There's no other way; we can only wait until we make enough contributions and accumulate the corresponding contribution points before we can redeem it.

Besides the cultivation techniques passed down, the high-level auxiliary cultivation medicines and rare medicinal wines listed on the register were even more tempting to the Si siblings.

These resources fall under the category of personal exchange and require specific contribution points to exchange for.

Fortunately, the entire Si family now has basic exchange privileges—from now on, family members only need to use their personal contribution points accumulated from serving the Chen family to exchange for what they need within the scope of their privileges, without taking up Si Baining's precious personal quota.

Among them, what made Si Baining (the family's long-term planner) drool the most was the "aphrodisiac," even though she was a woman.

The series of medicines provided by the Chen family to enhance the fertility of its members are of far greater strategic value to a family with a shallow foundation and an urgent need for a large population than one or two advanced cultivation techniques.

Most importantly, these kinds of potions are very easy to obtain; they do not require contribution points to exchange for, but can be purchased simply by paying real money.

Without hesitation, the Si siblings invested heavily, purchasing a whole large sack of "aphrodisiacs" to bring back to the family as a core material reserve for the clan's population growth plan.

Another item that caught Si Baining's eye and prompted her to immediately purchase was the [Soul Guidance Doll - Ru Hua] manufactured by the Soul Guidance Workshop, which she hadn't been able to enter before.

These basic combat dolls played a huge role in expanding the Si family's daily military strength, so two hundred were ordered in one go and brought back to Tianfeng City for trial use.

The reason why the Si family attaches such importance to the "Ru Hua" doll is inseparable from the geographical environment of Tianfeng City, where they are based.

Tianfeng City is situated amidst towering mountains and steep ridges, with complex and treacherous terrain, numerous cliffs and deep valleys, and crisscrossing rapids.

Every year, accidents involving people falling off cliffs or into rapids and going missing or getting injured or killed due to patrolling, collecting herbs, transportation, or combat missions are common.

Although most of the Si family's Soul Masters possess the ability to fly, the vast majority of their ordinary family soldiers, guards, servants, and even members of other small families who belong to the Si family do not possess the ability to fly.

Operating or carrying out missions in such a perilous environment carries extremely high risks.

With these fearless and reusable "Ru Hua" dolls, they can replace the guards who originally had to perform high-risk tasks with their own flesh and blood in scenarios such as exploring roads and checking for dangers, climbing cliffs, fighting in dangerous areas, and even serving as guards for ordinary caravans.

Even if they are damaged in the course of a mission (falling off a cliff or being destroyed by the enemy), the cost is relatively low and not as heartbreaking as losing a carefully trained bodyguard.

Meanwhile, the Chen family standardizes and modularizes the production and assembly of these basic soul-guided dolls. If damaged, they can be reused simply by replacing the damaged parts or modules, making maintenance extremely convenient. This seemingly basic technological application is highly practical for the Si family, who live in a perilous location.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the powerful crossbow cart also have great uses.

Sure enough, after joining the Chen family's large platform, they immediately improved significantly, by more than one level.

With a bountiful harvest, Si Baining prepared to return to Tianfeng City.

Before leaving, she paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and casually asked, "By the way, Clan Chief Chen, I wonder how our clan fared against those rats, Scarlet Crimson?"

Chen Xun had just picked up his teacup when he raised his eyelids slightly, his tone as indifferent as if he were just saying the weather was nice: "Oh, them."

He blew on the steam in his cup and continued, "The Scarlet Army suffered far greater losses than we did."

"Not counting the rabble and the elite, just those at the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo level alone, there are probably twenty or so who have fallen. And those are Title Douluos..."

He took a sip of tea before slowly adding, "We killed six of them on our side."

He put down his teacup, as if suddenly remembering a detail, and casually mentioned, "Oh right, that guy Yan Wufeng, the level 97 'Demon Dragon General,' also had both arms removed."

Chen Xun's casual words left Si Baining and Si Baining, the siblings, standing there, their expressions momentarily frozen, as if they had both paused for a second.

Chen Xun's words sounded simple, but the information revealed between the lines made the brother and sister's minds buzz.

He killed six Title Douluos!
They crippled the renowned "Demon Dragon General" Yan Wufeng!

They also crushed more than twenty Soul Saints and more than twenty Soul Douluos to death!
How large and how devastating must this conflict be?!

Unbeknownst to them, the Chen family had quietly waged such a massive battle!
Moreover, they achieved such... terrifyingly chilling results?!

The so-called "tense situation" in the five prefectures of southern Xinjiang is nothing more than a child's squabble compared to the clashes between the Chen family at this level.

Only then did they truly realize the suffocating chasm between themselves and the Chen family—a bloody stage where the top powers of the continent would fight each other, a place they had never dared to imagine before.

This news came too suddenly and was too heavy.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, their hearts churning with turmoil that lingered for a long time.

Si Baining quickly suppressed all outward emotions and put on that cold exterior again.

Si Baining didn't turn around to look at her, but the corners of her mouth twitched upwards very slightly, a fleeting and almost imperceptible expression of approval—a heavy approval tinged with ice.

Si Bai Ning glanced at her brother's habitual expression. This battle maniac loved it to death, but she was in charge of the entire clan.

What she always had to consider was how to ensure the Si family wouldn't sink in the face of giant waves.

She stopped looking at her brother and instead lowered her head, murmuring almost to herself, "It seems... we'll need another sack of medicine."
