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

What else can we do?

Janard's face was gloomy. He knew very well that Vanka had been looking for an opportunity to drive out the various forces that had been planted in Rota City.

Although the Kuna family had been using Fip's death to control Vanka, their triumph was short-lived, as Vanka's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage completely shattered the balance.

Under the strong blockade of the Xuan Yuan Empire, the Nascent Soul stage is the primary fighting force of each country. Who can contend with such a powerful existence?

Therefore, after Vanka's promotion, the Kuna family completely lost the opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the Vanpu family.

Li Bai's advancement also gave all the Golden Core sword cultivators a glimmer of hope, because Li Bai could kill Nascent Soul beastmen with his sword momentum, making his combat power no different from that of a Nascent Soul beastman.

However, this is just imagination.

First of all, there aren't many Golden Core sword cultivators who can possess sword intent.

Secondly, even if one possesses sword intent, is it guaranteed that one can kill a Nascent Soul beastman like Li Bai?

not necessarily!

Many people know that before Li Bai advanced to the next level, his physical body was already capable of withstanding a Nascent Soul beastman. This alone is something that ordinary sword cultivators cannot do.

Now, with Li Bai's assistance, Wanka is even more powerful, and will definitely take big steps to weaken the power of various families.

I was merely used by Vanka as a scapegoat to make an example of someone.

"Why don't we learn from other companies, find another location, and establish a new base? With our family's wealth, we can easily support our expansion on Qiyuan Star!"

The red-haired swordsman offered a suggestion that captivated everyone.

Janard was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Yeah, why do we have to work with that bitch Vanka?

With money and power, why not just open another city?

During this period, many large enterprises, families, and forces have been rapidly expanding their territories on Qiyuan Star. Previously, I was only thinking about taking over Luota City, and my thinking was thus constrained.

Thinking of this, he patted the red-haired swordsman on the shoulder with great joy: "Very good, very good. What do we do next? Should we go straight out of the city to explore the meridians, or what?"

The red-haired swordsman chuckled and took out a map: "I haven't been idle during this time either. I've found a fourth-order spiritual vein. We can set up a temporary base there first, and after things stabilize, we can contact the family."

If we were to return to Earth like this, or directly contact our families for help, it would probably look rather awkward.

The red-haired swordsman's words struck a chord with Jarnard.

Being sent back to the family by Vanka like this would definitely make him a laughing stock.

If one finds a spiritual vein to establish a base and starts anew before contacting the family, one will naturally have the confidence to smear the blame on Vanka and Li Bai.

"Let's go, let's set off now!"

Janard became more and more excited as he thought about it. He took the map from the red-haired swordsman, looked at it carefully, and found that the spiritual vein was located in the southeast direction of Xuan Yuan City.

He didn't pay much attention and led a dozen or so family members straight out of Qiyuan City.

After more than five months of development and the baptism of this spiritual tide, the orcs within a thousand-mile radius of Qiyuan City have been basically wiped out, and Qiyuan City is expanding outwards at a visible speed.

The same is true for all countries; after experiencing a wave of change, they all ushered in a period of great development.

As Jarnard watched from the air as Qiyuan City grew more and more like a medium-sized city on Earth, his heart burned with increasing excitement.

This unclaimed land should be the second blessed land for my Kuna family!

After traveling more than a hundred miles out of the city, the dozen or so people dared not fly high in the sky ostentatiously anymore, but instead moved slowly towards their destination at low altitude.

After flying for another thousand miles, a mountain range appeared before them. Even before they got close, they could feel the powerful spiritual energy rushing towards them.

Janard was overjoyed, but after sensing it for a moment, he felt something was amiss. He looked at the red-haired cultivator: "Duru, is this the place? Why does this feel more like a third-tier spiritual vein than a fourth-tier one? The spiritual energy concentration here isn't very high."

The red-haired monk, Duru, flew to Janard's side with a puzzled look, took out his map, and handed it to Janard: "This shouldn't be the case. I remember when I came here before, it was only fourth-tier. Take a look."

Janard, unsuspecting, looked down at the map. However, as soon as he approached Duru, a chaotic sword intent suddenly rose from Duru's body. Janard cried out in alarm and was about to activate his flying sword when a red flying sword appeared before him.

He hastily activated his numerous defensive magical artifacts, but they were all pierced through by the red flying sword with overwhelming force.

"puff--"

Jannard coughed up a mouthful of pale golden blood, and his expression immediately became weak.

"Duru, what are you doing?"

The dozen or so Golden Core cultivators all cried out in surprise.

Jarnard clutched his chest and retreated quickly, but Drew followed closely behind, shouting, "Why give such a good opportunity to Jarnard? You all better stand there and watch!"

Jarnard was taken aback, then flew into a rage: "You want to take my place?"

Duru laughed maniacally, his red flying sword deflecting Jarnard's sword. He then plunged both hands into Jarnard's chest and ripped it open. Jarnard, already severely injured, immediately lost his composure.

The Golden Core cultivator possessed extremely tenacious vitality; even after being pierced by a flying sword and having his chest torn open by Du Lu, he still did not die completely.

Duru snatched the storage ring from Jannard's hand and kicked him into the forest below, where a dozen orcs were watching them menacingly.

When they saw the food falling from the sky, they pounced on it with ecstatic joy. The dignified direct descendants of the Kuna family were thus divided and eaten by the beastmen.

"You're too cruel!"

A white-haired Golden Core cultivator looked reluctant: "Even if we were to kill him, there's no need to let him..."

Before he could finish speaking, Duru appeared in front of him in an instant, smashing through his defensive magic artifact with a punch. The red flying sword followed closely, and a head was sent flying into the sky.

"Does anyone else have any objections?"

Duru swiftly retrieved the other man's storage ring and kicked his corpse towards the orcs below.

The remaining dozen or so Golden Core cultivators were all terrified, but no one dared to speak.

"Very well! Then begin to pledge your allegiance to me!"

A strange glint flashed in Du Lu's eyes, and the dozen or so Golden Core cultivators were horrified: "Du Lu, we are from the same family. Isn't what you're doing going too far? Even if we split up, you can't possibly catch up with all of us."

"Split up and run? Where to?"

Duru touched his storage ring, and a spirit-suppressing magic circle immediately appeared in front of everyone.

"No--"

Caught off guard, the dozen or so people fell to the ground. When the dozen or so orcs saw the real people fall to the ground, they rushed forward frantically, but were blocked by the formation.

Duru walked up to a Golden Core cultivator with a grin, his eyes shining brightly, causing the cultivator to look at him involuntarily: "Come, hand over your heart's blood! Sign a master-slave contract with me!"

……

Half an hour later, all of the dozen or so Golden Core cultivators had been placed under master-slave contracts, and their souls had been controlled by the Soul-Hooking and Soul-Seizing Talent.

Du Lu led a dozen or so people south and flew thousands of miles away before transforming into Li Bai.

The dozen or so Golden Core cultivators were horrified. They had considered countless possibilities, but they never expected that Li Bai possessed such a secret technique.

Could it be that Li Bai was a member of an unorganized group?

In that case, Phelps's death makes sense!

It turns out that everyone was being manipulated by him.

The problem is, it's impossible to inform the Kuna family now, since everyone has signed a contract!

Shen Bai turned to look at the Golden Core cultivators whose faces showed fear and confusion, and smiled without saying a word.

He flew swiftly until he reached a seemingly ordinary mountain range, at which point he stopped.

……

Shen Bai quickly made a hand seal, and a wave of restriction emanated from it. A small portal of light appeared on the otherwise unremarkable mountain range in front of him.

Shen Bai stepped in, followed closely by a dozen Golden Core cultivators. As soon as they entered the light gate, they felt a rich spiritual energy rushing towards them.

"A sixth-order spiritual vein?"

Everyone stared in astonishment at the scene before them. A manor sat on the mountainside, with a plaque hanging high above the manor gate.

The words "Shen Mansion" are written on it.

"The Shen residence?"

The dozen or so Golden Core cultivators were stunned. How could there be a Shen residence here?

"Greetings, Master!"

Five Golden Core demon kings emerged from the manor and, upon seeing Li Bai, immediately knelt down.

Get up!

Li Bai's face changed again, transforming into Shen Bai.

"Shen Bai? You're Shen Bai?"

The Golden Elixir cultivators felt their minds were about to stop working.

How could Li Bai possibly be Shen Bai?

Is Shen Bai's cultivation only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?

Moreover, Li Bai and Shen Bai have appeared together on different occasions, which is confirmed information!

"Welcome to the Shen family!"

Shen Bai turned around and looked at the group with a smile. He activated his Soul-Hooking Divine Soul talent to its fullest extent, and the souls of more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators were once again cleansed.

Even with the master-slave contract, Shen Bai didn't dare to completely trust them. He would only feel at ease if he occasionally gave them some talents enhanced by the system.

The Golden Core Demon King and the Golden Core True Men were powerless against the Soul-Hooking and Soul-Seizing Technique. Their souls were all branded with Shen Bai's mark. Unless a Tribulation Transcending Supreme or Human Immortal intervened, it would be impossible for them to remove the mark. Otherwise, they would never betray Shen Bai again in their lifetime.

"From now on, you will stay here and guard this house for me. You are not allowed to leave the manor without my permission."

After giving them his orders, Shen Bai began to walk into the manor.

After several months of construction, the resort has taken shape.

Under his arrangement, the five Golden Core Demon Kings managed the entire manor in an orderly manner, and established spiritual fields and medicinal fields in various places along the spiritual veins, totaling over a thousand acres.

The manor has more than a dozen courtyards and over a hundred rooms, each decorated in an antique style.

The courtyards and houses are connected to the spiritual veins, which can draw the spiritual energy of the veins into the houses. Therefore, each courtyard is equivalent to a small cave dwelling, with a richer spiritual energy than his cave dwelling on Earth.

He set up all the magic arrays in the entire manor. Due to time constraints, he only had time to set up a few fifth-order magic arrays and spirit-gathering arrays.

The sixth-order magic array takes time to set up, and he didn't have time to do so because Janard's death would inevitably alarm the Kuna family. So his main purpose this time was to bring these dozen or so Golden Core cultivators here to settle them down.
