Wisps of green smoke rose from Yang's head, instantly transforming into a "divine word" that was earthy yellow with streaks of brown.

[A shocking revelation]

He raised his hand and threw a punch, his surging blood and true energy overflowing from his body and condensing into a fist imprint. The divine words "earth-shattering" flowed around him, and in an instant, the fist imprint appeared with a brownish-yellow luster, growing exponentially and becoming the size of a carriage in the blink of an eye.

boom…

The moment they made contact, the swarming rain of magical energy was crushed into specks of spiritual light by the fist imprint. Its momentum remained undiminished, like a meteorite crashing down on Xiang Sui, Liang Kuan, and the others.

"I'll do it."

Faced with Yang Mao's attack, Xiang Sui stepped forward, stretched out his arm, and opened his palm. Drops of golden-red magma gushed out from his hand, instantly coalescing into a small bird less than the size of a palm, with golden flames in its eyes and fiery red wings.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding temperature soared instantly.

"This is... second-tier?... "

Bai Yan, Qiao Hewei, and the others were slightly surprised. They sensed a faint but extremely hot aura emanating from the red-feathered bird, far exceeding that of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Senior brother has refined that 'Blazing Sun Bird' into his natal spirit fire..."

Liang Kuan's eyes lit up when he saw the red-feathered bird.

"go."

Ignoring everyone's astonishment, Xiang Sui lightly swung his arm, and the "Blazing Sun Bird" flapped its wings and flew up, transforming into a golden-red fire line that soared into the sky and crashed directly into the fist imprint that resembled a meteorite.

There was no booming or shaking as expected. The fist imprint only held out for a moment before being pierced by the golden-red fire line, disintegrating into specks of crimson that scattered with the wind.

Seeing the "Blazing Sun Bird" break through the fist imprint, Xiang Sui smiled with satisfaction. It was worth the years of hard work and the large amount of resources he had spent to refine the "Blazing Sun Bird" demon soul and cultivate the superior technique "Burning Flame" from the family's inherited "Burning Technique".

He then raised his hand and pointed at Yang Mao, whose expression had changed drastically.

"go…"

The wings of the "Blazing Sun Bird," formed from the flames, fluttered once more, transforming into golden-red streaks of fire that rushed straight toward Yang Mao.

Yang Mao suppressed the urge to flee, raised his fist, and swung it down at the line of fire that was rapidly approaching, shouting:

"Collapse of the mountain."

In an instant, more than 60% of his vital energy and true qi were consumed, which condensed into a phantom mountain. As the divine words "earth-shattering" flowed, it rapidly expanded, and the true mountain, as large as a small mountain, crashed down.

boom…

Unable to dodge, the "Blazing Sun Bird" crashed head-on into the attack. With a deafening roar, golden-red flames and brownish-yellow light surged and intertwined, their aftershocks spreading outwards, leaving a scorched area within a mile radius.

"So strong..."

Liang Kuan, Bai Yan, Qiao Hewei, and others, who initially paid little attention to Yang Mao and the other foreign natives, couldn't help but imagine fighting against them after seeing this scene, and their expressions all became somewhat solemn.

Continue for several breaths.

"cracking…"

A sharp screech resounded, and a burst of raging golden flames instantly engulfed the small hill. Wisps of brownish-yellow smoke evaporated, and the hill shrank at a visible speed. Before long, only the "Blazing Sun Bird" with a slightly dim light remained in the original spot.

Xiang Sui's face paled slightly. Looking around, Yang Mao was nowhere to be seen. Only the five hundred martial artists who had entered the Dao and reached the Divine Word Realm were staring blankly at the "Blazing Sun Bird" floating in mid-air.

His face was rather grim. He had hoped to win the first prize and curry favor with his senior brother, but unexpectedly, the brother had run away.

I was furious.

Turning his gaze to the five hundred mounted warriors, his eyes flashed with a chilling light. With a slight thought, the "Blazing Sun Bird" transformed into a streak of fire and hurtled straight toward them.

Without Yang Mao's obstruction, the fiery line transformed from the Fiery Sun Bird reached a person in an instant. Before the person could react, the golden-red fiery line pierced through his skull, and golden flames erupted, burning him to a crisp.

Then, its momentum continued unabated, like a bolt of lightning, raging across the land, leaving nothing but charred remains in its wake.

"ah…"

"Run! There's a demon..."

When they saw a well-known martial arts school owner in the city being killed by the "Fiery Sun Bird" without any resistance, the "Guancheng" warriors instantly collapsed, screaming and scattering in all directions.

Xiang Sui controlled the "Fiery Sun Bird" to kill dozens of people, then took it back into his body. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but that his spiritual power was almost exhausted.

"kill!"

Seeing this, Liang Kuan gave a low shout and stepped forward. His skin turned an eerie waxy red, and then a wisp of black and red flames sprouted from his body. In an instant, it was as if he had fallen into a pot of boiling oil, and raging flames burst forth.

With each step it took, a charred footprint appeared in its wake. After a few strides, it reached a mounted warrior, its mouth slightly open, from which billowing flames of corpse fire erupted.

"ah…"

The man and the horse let out a single scream before turning into charred corpses.

Liang Kuan continued walking, and the "Crimson Demon Dao Foundation" manifested. It transformed into a fire corpse with a red face and fangs, burning with raging corpse fire. Wherever it went, corrosive scorch marks appeared on the ground. No "Guancheng" warrior could withstand a single blow from it. In just a few breaths, more than a dozen people died at its hands.

"kill!…"

Seeing Liang Kuan's rampage, Bai Yan, Qiao Hewei, and the others could no longer sit still. They used their own methods to chase after the "Guancheng" warriors who had scattered and fled.

Some people followed the "Tuyu people" who were carrying long knives and spears toward the "Fortress".

On the city wall.

The wealthy families in the city stared blankly as the county princess rushed out of the city, encountered the suddenly appearing enemy, and disappeared without a trace after a brief exchange. When they came to their senses, they looked down at their subordinates and guards being slaughtered and chased. Their faces were grim, and they also revealed an uncontrollable look of panic.

"Manager Lan..."

Someone looked at the grain shop manager, whose strength was second only to the county magistrate's mansion in Guancheng, but as soon as they turned around, he was nowhere to be seen. They panicked and looked around, vaguely seeing a person disappear at the entrance of the stone steps.

"Manager Lan ran away, let's run away too..."

He cried out in a panic, and the others, without thinking, turned and rushed to the stone steps. After a few scrambles, they finally made it down the city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall stared blankly at this scene. Some of the older soldiers silently picked up their swords and arrows and ran down the city wall. The remaining soldiers, seeing the "Tuyu people" swarming in from outside the city, screamed and threw down their swords and spears, scrambling and crawling away from the city wall.

At this time.

A beam of earthen-yellow light rose from the city wall, its intensity subsiding, revealing Yang Mao's figure. Upon seeing the empty city wall, a grim expression appeared on his face, and he flicked his sleeve and snorted:

"They are all useless. I will not fight unless I am the subject. There is not a single soldier available."

"These troublemakers have ruined me..."

Yang Mao stamped his feet and pounded his chest, then turned and took a deep look at the "Tu Yu Ren" who was less than a hundred feet away, as well as the "strange people" mixed in with them. His body was filled with earthy yellow light, and he was about to escape by burrowing into the ground.

But then he felt an irresistible force enveloping his body, and he was involuntarily sent flying upwards. His expression changed drastically as he desperately circulated his qi and blood to resist, even at the cost of consuming his "divine words".

However, when it touched the power surrounding it, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

"My life is over..."

Yang Mao was filled with despair. He struggled to lift his head, wanting to see who had taken his life, but he only saw a long, slender figure before his consciousness plunged into darkness.

The top of the black dragon's head.

Zhu Yu casually tossed Yang Mao's corpse into the "Life Spirit Ruins," and probed the seven-colored light ball in his palm with his divine sense.

Memories flashed by like a slideshow, from his childhood memories to passing the imperial examination and becoming a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), and then being sent down to "Guancheng" (a county town) as a county magistrate.

A few breaths later.

The seven-colored light burst open.

As he processed the memory, a smile appeared on Zhu Yu's face.

According to Yang Mao's memory, what made him even more certain about the information he had been diverting his attention to was that "Yongzhou" had been reduced from the original core territory of "Dayu" to a place of exile.

From the old prince "Qin Wuxiang," who came from the royal family of the Great Yu Dynasty, to Yang Mao of "Guancheng," they were all like this.

His current location is "Baiya County - Sanshan Prefecture".

In a different "domain," the lord of a prefecture would need to be at least at the peak of the "Dao Fruit Realm," and even in a wealthy prefecture like "Jiujiang Prefecture," the lord would need to be at least at the fourth level of cultivation.

However, the lord of "Sanshan Prefecture" was a frail old man whose health was declining. His strength was not as great as Yang Mao's. There were some skilled people among the wealthy families in the city, but none of them were at the fourth level.

In "Baiya County", only the "county princess" who came from the Pang clan of Dayu had the cultivation level of the fourth realm, and according to Yang Mao's memory, she was also a carefree person who did not care about anything.

"In that case, let's hurry..."

Zhu Yu hesitated for a moment, then decided to stop taking the cautious approach and first clean up the upper echelons of "White Tooth County" before dealing with anything else.

With a slight thought, the ring on his finger suddenly transformed into wisps of black and red energy, manifesting beside him as a blood demon "Blood Slave" clad in exquisite armor and possessing an eerie appearance.

He knelt on one knee and said respectfully:

"Blood slave greets lord."

Zhu Yu nodded slightly, raised his hand to summon the dark elf "Dream" who was following behind him, and pointed his finger, pouring information such as "Three Mountains Prefecture," "Jiuzhaigou," "Eight Kings Village," and "Seven Immortal Pool" into their minds. After they had processed it, he gave the instructions:

"Clean up the peak 'Dao Fruit Realm' martial artists, gather information about that 'Princess,' and kill those you can. If anything unexpected happens, you can call upon me in your mind..."

"Yes, my lord."

Excitement gleamed in their eyes. They respectfully agreed, ignoring each other, and transformed into a streak of crimson light and a streak of green light, heading off in two different directions.

Wait until they leave.

Zhu Yu's thoughts were focused on Hong Youfu and Qiao Heyong. Through their conversation, she learned that the two had entered "Ziye County" and "Gelan County" and were looking for their county lord.

He gave the two a few words of advice, then thought of Zang Hai and the others. He casually sent out three inquiry talismans, then looked down at the "Guancheng" below where smoke and fire were rising. He reached out and grabbed, and one after another, "identity tokens" came rushing in.

In just a dozen or so breaths.

He searched through tens of thousands of "identity cards".

at the same time.

The disciples of the Yinming Palace who entered the "Fortress" were like locusts, frantically searching for any treasures they might find. Surprisingly, a few lucky ones actually found fragments of "sharp weapons," top-grade "spiritual herbs," and so on…

The most common type is "Lingmi" (灵米).

Its effects include warming and nourishing the body, replenishing qi and blood...

Although they were all low-grade, the sheer quantity made up for it. When the profits were divided equally, each disciple of the "Yinming Mansion" could collect nearly two or three hundred catties, which would amount to more than two hundred spirit stones.

Adding in some miscellaneous items like living souls and corpses, it adds up to about five hundred spirit stones.

This applies to newly recruited disciples.

Some disciples who had reached the peak of Qi Refining gained even more. Killing "Martial World" cultivators not only earned them contribution points, but also allowed them to convert their corpses and souls into cash, resulting in substantial profits…

In a short time.

The joy of the harvest overshadowed the fear of unfamiliar territory.

After looting, since Zhu Yu had no restrictions, most of the new disciples chose to follow the "Tu Yu Ren" team, while a few went ahead to search for possible spiritual objects in the wilderness.

Those disciples who had reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation were not content with picking up scraps from the "Tuyu people." They began searching for "villages" and "county towns," either alone or in small groups.

soon.

Black smoke billowed from the "fortress," and there was no sound of human voices.

Zhu Yu also received his first benefit from the "Martial World".

Those are the scattered "spiritual fields" on the "plain".

A certain "spiritual field".

Zhu Yu stood in the field, his divine thoughts surging forth like water, probing into the earth.

The "spiritual field" is about three acres in size, with spiritual soil three zhang deep. It is nourished by dozens of delicate spiritual veins, as thin as hair. Divine thoughts extend along these spiritual veins, expanding all the way to the edge of the blue sky.

A tattered network of spiritual veins appeared in my mind.

Feeling the resistance emanating from the spiritual vein, Zhu Yu shook his head slightly, abandoning the idea of ​​uprooting it completely. It wasn't that it was impossible, but rather that it wasn't worth it.

The "spiritual vein" is too thin and deeply embedded in the earth's veins. Not only is it too difficult to pull it out, but it is also not very valuable.

I didn't think much of it.

Send acre after acre of "spiritual soil" into the "natal spiritual ruins".

With these spiritual soils, one can save a lot of earth element essence in future cultivation progress.

Just as he was excavating the "spirit field".

Cang Hai, Cang Li, Fu Hongxi, and others such as Shangguan Dazu also took action. Unlike Zhu Yu, they went directly to the "county" city to carry out the decapitation.

The result was that, except for Tibet, none of them succeeded.

Zang Hai was able to kill the chief of Huangliang County only by relying on a powerful "supernatural" talisman, but he also lost a trump card to save his life. It's hard to say whether it was a loss or a gain.

Followed by.

A real problem is now before everyone.

How to occupy a continent?

They had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, arrived in a hurry, and had not yet established their own government or nurtured their families. This meant that even if they conquered a city, they would find it difficult to truly control it.

At this time.

A message reached everyone's minds.

"Qingping Zhenjun" will open his "Family" world to the public, who can hire him to do things by spending spirit stones and spirit items.

Zhu Yu glanced at it.

Among them was the figure of "Tangled Fishman".

"Qingping Zhenjun has good judgment..."

Zhu Yu secretly praised them, briefly checked the other "family members" and memorized them, then rode the "whale" and followed the "fish people" group at a leisurely pace.

Time passed slowly.

The "Fishman" project is progressing steadily and methodically.

To his surprise, the "Sanshan Prefecture" seemed completely unaware of the situation. Not only did they not encounter any government troops along the way, but the villages and towns only started to flee after the "Tuyu people" arrived.

However, I did encounter some chivalrous figures who roamed the countryside.

But it didn't make much of a splash before being dealt with by the "disciples of the Underworld".

Until a message came from Tibet.

Zhu Yu then realized why the "Sanshan Prefecture" seemed unknown after several days: the governor of "Yongzhou," the old prince of the Great Yu clan, would soon celebrate his 300th birthday.

Perhaps it has been too peaceful for too long.

The lord of "Sanshan Prefecture" and some capable people all rushed to offer birthday greetings. Those who stayed behind could not make decisions, so they simply let things take their course, since there were always tall people to hold up the sky if it fell.

"A grand birthday celebration..."

Zhu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and with a thought, the bronze gate appeared. A young man in a plain robe stepped out, his aura fluctuating, clearly at the peak of the "Dao Fruit Realm".

"The 'Righteous' Spirit Ruins race, I wonder if the 'Martial World' recognizes them..."
