Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

This question existed not only in the minds of all the sword cultivators, but also in the mind of Vanka. However, she did not rush to ask, but quietly stood by and held the fort.

The Black Tiger became increasingly agitated as he fought. Realizing he was unable to subdue the insignificant ants before him, he roared in frustration, his mind turning to retreat.

Shen Bai was practicing against the Black Tiger Man when he sensed the man's retreat and his heroic spirit was immediately aroused.

The raging iron fist transformed into an endless torrent, charging wildly towards the Black Tiger Man, determined to leave him there.

The Black Tiger Man panicked. This ant in front of him was becoming more and more troublesome after his advancement. After a few fierce attacks, he turned around and tried to escape.

However, this time, Shen Bai was even faster.

A punch was aimed at the Black Tiger Man's back. The Black Tiger Man instinctively dodged to the side, but the next second, a powerful sword aura suddenly pressed down.

"Sword Momentum: Heavy Mountain"

The black tiger man's body paused for a moment, and Shen Bai's fist struck him squarely.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and a fierce glint flashed in the black tiger man's eyes. He gritted his teeth and was about to turn around and fight Shen Bai to the death when a white lightning bolt flashed past his eyes and quickly slit his throat.

"Well--"

The black tiger's enormous head flew into the air.

A dignified Nascent Soul beastman had his head cut off by a True Person who had just advanced to the Golden Core stage.

Vanka watched with great delight.

Shen Bai's timing was impeccable. From the coordination of the Chongyue Sword Stance to the attack of the flying sword, everything was unexpected.

Some curious individuals thought they could also use spiritual power, so they hurriedly activated their flying swords. However, as soon as they activated them, they immediately noticed that hair on their bodies was growing wildly, which frightened them so much that they quickly withdrew their flying swords.

"What exactly is going on? How is he able to use a flying sword?"

Everyone looked at Li Bai in fear, unable to understand why Li Bai could so easily advance to the Golden Core stage and use a flying sword amidst the spiritual tide.

"Sword stance!"

Shen Bai shouted, "Those with sword intent can use their magic power without being affected!"

Shen Bai had some insights at the moment he advanced to the Golden Core stage.

The Chongyue Sword Intent advanced accordingly, becoming the Chongyue Sword Style.

As soon as the sword aura was unleashed, he immediately sensed that the chaotic spiritual energy no longer needed the cleansing of the magic seal to be blocked outside his body by the sword aura.

However, this also has a drawback: one can only use one's own magical power to fight, and cannot draw on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use as before.

The biggest difference between cultivators and martial artists is that cultivators can draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use. Ideally, cultivators can fight indefinitely.

Although they cannot summon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they can still use their own magical power, which is enough for some Golden Core sword cultivators.

Although sword intent is difficult to cultivate and sword momentum is difficult to achieve, those who can wield sword momentum are all among the best sword cultivators.

The hundreds of thousands of sword cultivators were the best sword cultivators in the Luota Kingdom, and over a hundred of them had mastered sword aura.

Vanka immediately activated her sword technique, and to her great surprise, she discovered that she could now use her magic.

The hundred sword cultivators unleashed their sword power, and the remaining tiger-men were immediately surrounded and wiped out.

"Li Bai, you have performed another great service! I will apply for a noble title for you!"

After dealing with the beast tide and rearranging the defenses in all directions, Wanka happily walked up to Shen Bai.

"Your safety is the most important thing!"

A hint of tenderness flashed in Shen Bai's eyes, then turned into resentment as he looked at Jarnard: "You just tried to cut off my path to promotion?"

Janard remained silent.

"You should be grateful that Vanka is my Daoist partner!"

Shen Bai arrogantly pulled Vanka into his arms, looking at Jarnard as if he were looking at an ant.

……

Janard blushed, fully aware of Shen Bai's unspoken meaning.

If it weren't for Vanka's identity, Li Bai would definitely have killed him.

Kid, don't be so arrogant. I'll be back soon.

A ruthless glint flashed in Janard's eyes.

The humiliation suffered today will be repaid tenfold in the future.

……

A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Bai's eyes.

This Jarnard cannot be allowed to live!

To cut weeds, we must remove the roots.

Shen Bai knew very well that after Jarnard left, he would do everything he could to take revenge on him.

Therefore, he would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

……

The spiritual tide lasted for three days, during which many orcs rushed out of the mountains and forests to besiege Rota City, but they were all repelled by the Rota Kingdom.

On the fourth day, the spiritual tide receded, and the beast tide also dissipated, leaving the entire city of Rota in ruins.

Shen Bai immediately contacted all parties and learned about the situation in various places over the past three days.

Qiyuan City was largely unaffected; only about a hundred unlucky individuals within the city failed to follow the Xuan Yuan Empire's instructions and recklessly used their spiritual power, transforming into beastmen.

Mao Jingguo's base was breached once, but it was successfully defended.

The Kingdom of Xisai fared much worse; its cities were almost destroyed.

The East Island suffered the worst; the city it had painstakingly built was razed to the ground by two Nascent Soul beastmen.

The sword cultivators lost more than 20,000 people, which can be described as a devastating blow.

The other smaller countries were not significantly affected, as they were all cautious and did not dare to stray too far from Qiyuan City, thus receiving timely assistance from Qiyuan City.

All nations now know that Qiyuan Star experiences a spiritual tide every so often, and during this tide, recklessly wielding spiritual power will transform one into a mindless beastman who wreaks havoc everywhere.

Only sword cultivators who have mastered the sword stance can use their magic power freely in the spiritual tide, but they are limited to using their own magic power.

Some cultivators speculate that if one cultivates a sword domain, one should be able to absorb external magical power without restraint.

The Sword Domain can only be achieved by unparalleled sword cultivators.

The various countries immediately issued strong protests and condemnations to the Xuan Yuan Empire, arguing that the Empire had failed to notify them in advance, resulting in heavy losses for all.

The Xuan Yuan Empire insisted that it was unaware of the situation and that it was only because the powerful Nascent Soul cultivator stationed there had promptly warned them that the spiritual tide would cause the orcs to mutate.

No country believed this, but the Xuan Yuan Empire insisted on it, leaving the other countries with no choice but to keep arguing with the Xuan Yuan Empire.

Through the spiritual tide, everyone finally confirmed that Qiyuan Star must have been a planet with a very advanced cultivation system before, but because of the birth of the spiritual tide, all the cultivators on the planet turned into beastmen.

The existence of that man-made site proves the above conjecture.

The confirmation of this intelligence ignited the development enthusiasm of various countries to its fullest extent.

How much treasure did a once glorious cultivation civilization leave behind?

Nobody knows!

But countless people want to know!

Development enthusiasm in various countries has surged to an unprecedented level once again.

The mere spiritual tide is nothing to worry about once you know how to deal with it.

Sword cultivators who understood sword techniques immediately became highly sought-after by various countries, and countless people began to offer high salaries to hire powerful sword cultivators.

As promised, Vanka successfully obtained a noble title for Li Bai.

……

"Viscount?"

Seeing the list of his merits on the commendation order, Shen Bai smiled with satisfaction.

Although the titles in the Kingdom of Luota are not as valuable as those in the Xuan Yuan Empire, he still holds a certain status in the Kingdom of Luota.

The powerful Wan Lin once advised him to take over Wan Ka and stay on Qiyuan Star without going back easily. He firmly believed that this was a wise suggestion to prepare for the future.

Although we still don't know why it's so important to take down Vanka, the advice of the Empire's chief intelligence officer can't be too wrong.

Now that he has advanced to the Golden Core stage, he is confident that he has gained enough importance in Vanka's heart. Otherwise, Vanka would not have killed two of Janard's subordinates for his sake.

This act, which is tantamount to declaring war on the Kuna family, is enough to show her true intentions.

Otherwise, given Vanka's shrewdness, he wouldn't have rashly broken ties with Jannard.

"Not satisfied?"

Vanka coiled around Shen Bai like a beautiful snake: "This is something I secured for you by using the power of my family."

"I understand, I'm very satisfied! Thank you!"

Shen Bai rolled over, silencing the beautiful snake: "I need to go out for a while to do something, and I hope you can help me!"

Vanka was expecting Shen Bai to take things a step further, but upon hearing this, she paused for a moment, her lust subsiding and replaced by a surge of intelligence.

"You want to kill him?"

Although Vanka knew Li Bai's personality very well, he did not expect that Li Bai would dare to act so decisively, and that he would consult Vanka's opinion before taking action.

This is about respecting yourself.

Moreover, it is also a test of one's own feelings.

The exceptionally intelligent Vanka immediately understood Shen Bai's meaning.

This is a multiple-choice question, not an open-ended question.

"I will never have peace until I kill him."

Shen Bai looked at Vanka calmly, testing the other's intentions.

If Vanka agrees, it means that the two are truly connected.

If Vanka disagrees, it means that Vanka's love for him has not yet reached its deepest point.

Vanka was silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly, "You must be extremely careful. If it doesn't work out, go to Qiyuan City immediately and find Rebecca. I'll arrange for her to send you back, and then you'll obediently become my male concubine and you're not allowed to go anywhere else!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A happy smile appeared on Shen Bai's lips. Then, under Vanka's shy gaze, he lowered his head and began climbing mountains and exploring valleys.

"To express my gratitude to Your Majesty, let me take you surfing!"

Vanka, captivated, blushed deeply: "Today, you can be inside..."

Shen Bai is overjoyed!

Become!

All that effort spent on planning and researching was worthwhile!

The number one socialite in the Kingdom of Rota has been completely won over!

……

Three days after the Spirit Tide, Janard packed all his belongings and, accompanied by more than a dozen members of the Kuna family, stepped onto the teleportation array and headed to Qiyuan City.

"Are we just going to leave like this? That would mean our family has completely lost its foundation on Qiyuan Star!"

The moment a red-haired Golden Core cultivator stepped into Qiyuan City, he glared hatefully at the teleportation array behind him.

It's such a disgrace. The family has invested so much, but in the end, they've gained nothing. If we go back like this, the family will hold us accountable.

Being sent back in such a humiliating manner is not only a great disgrace, but it will also make it even more difficult for them to establish themselves in Rota City in the future!
