Back on Earth, I am the only cultivator.

Wu Fan explained:

"This item is called a storage bag, and it contains a universe within a mustard seed."

"Although the space isn't large, it's enough to store some everyday items and weapons."

"Storage bag?!"

Li Jing and Wang Hao exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Brother Fan, you mean...?"

"Can this hold a lot of things?"

Wang Hao took a deep breath. This is simply an essential tool for moving or traveling!

Jiang Chuxue also took it in her hand with some curiosity:

"Wu Fan, how do I use this?"

"It's very simple."

Wu Fan said,

"Bite your fingertip, drip a drop of your blood essence onto it, and then infuse it with the magic power you have cultivated, and you will be able to imprint your divine consciousness mark."

Upon hearing this, the four of them did as instructed.

Li Jing closed her eyes, a little afraid of the pain, but still bit her fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto the gray storage bag.

When she channeled her spiritual power into it, Li Jing felt as if a void space of about ten cubic meters suddenly appeared in her mind.

"I see it! There really is a space!"

Li Jing exclaimed excitedly.

She looked around, then casually pointed the car keys in her hand at the storage bag, and with a thought...

Whoosh!

The car keys vanished into thin air and reappeared in the storage space.

"come out!"

With another thought, the car keys returned to her fair palm.

"This is so much fun! It's way better than magic!"

Li Jing jumped up excitedly like a little girl, putting the car keys in and taking them out again, having a great time.

Wu Xi quickly became proficient at it.

"Brother, this storage bag is so convenient! I won't even need to carry a backpack to school anymore!"

Wu Xi hugged his arm and said coquettishly.

Wu Fan smiled helplessly:

"Nonsense! Such a magical treasure should not be easily revealed to ordinary people."

"You know the principle of not flaunting your wealth, don't I?"

"Okay, bro! I'll definitely use it secretly!"

Wu Xi playfully stuck out her tongue.

Jiang Chuxue also put her "Dead Wood Revives in Spring" carving into her storage bag, a gentle smile on her pretty face:

"Wu Fan, thank you."

"Having this makes things much more convenient."

Wang Hao touched the storage bag, a rare smile appearing on his face:

"Thank you, Brother Fan."

"It will definitely make things much more convenient in the future."

Wu Fan looked at the crowd who were immersed in joy, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Okay, that's all for today."

"The recovery of spiritual energy is accelerating, and tonight's heavy snowfall is just the beginning."

Wu Fan looked at the snowflakes falling outside the stone pavilion and said slowly:

"The world situation is about to change."

"You must have the ability to protect yourselves before the chaos fully ensues."

"Yes, Master!"

"Understood, Brother Fan!"

Everyone's expressions turned solemn, and they responded in unison.

......

Meanwhile, in the provincial capital, at the Ye family mansion.

The news of the Lu family's annihilation spread like a super tsunami throughout the entire Jiangnan Province in just a few hours, shaking all the major families in the provincial capital.

That's the Lu family!

With Grandmaster Lu Tianheng in charge, this is a top-tier martial arts family that has been entrenched in the provincial capital for a century!

Overnight, the entire Lu family, numbering several hundred, was turned into dried corpses. Even the ground of the Lu family mansion was torn apart, with no one spared.

Inside the Ye family's meeting hall, the family head, Ye Cangwu, had a gloomy expression.

The Ye family elders below were all ashen-faced, their eyes filled with fear.

"Master, we've found out."

An elder reported in a trembling voice:

"The front yard of the Lu family compound was almost entirely filled with dead and injured."

"Judging from the traces left at the scene, it was a single strike... a single strike that shredded the six Heavenly-level elders of the Lu family who had formed an array into a bloody mist."

"Moreover, Lu Tianheng, a grandmaster who was like a terrestrial immortal, died a very gruesome death. His chest was sunken, as if he had been killed by someone flicking his finger from a great distance."

"The most terrifying thing is that all the members of the Lu family died because their vital energy was drained."

"Fragments of broken magical artifacts were found at the scene..."

Upon hearing the words "killing a grandmaster with a flick of the finger," a collective gasp filled the hall.

"hiss!"

"Kill a Grandmaster with a single finger?! How is that possible?!"

"Lu Tianheng is a Grandmaster! How could he be so easily crushed like an ant?"

In the main seat, Ye Cangwu slowly closed his eyes, his hands gripping the armrests of the grand master's chair tightly.

"Grandmasters are indeed no different from ants in front of experts at the Supreme Realm."

Ye Cangwu opened his eyes and slowly said:

"According to our informant at the provincial capital's health center, Li Wen and Li Jing of the Li family had been injured by the Lu family before the incident."

"Afterwards, Li Jing, along with a mysterious young man in black, massacred the headquarters of Yangshengtang and kidnapped Lu Feiyu."

"Immediately afterwards, the Lu family mansion was razed to the ground."

An elder swallowed hard and asked tremblingly:

"Master, do you mean... it was the person behind the Li family of Mencheng who did it?"

Ye Cangwu stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at the dark night outside with awe in his eyes:

"In this Jiangnan Province, besides that supreme being who lives in seclusion in the city gate, who else could possess such overwhelming power?"

"The Lu family has messed with the wrong people."

"It must be that Lu Tianheng coveted the Li family's assets and even harbored murderous intentions towards the Li family, which led to the annihilation of the clan."

The elders looked at each other, feeling a chill run down their spines.

A highly respected elder of the Ye family said in a trembling voice:

"Patriarch, what should our Ye family do? We previously joined forces with the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce to test that person..."

"Nonsense! That's not a test, that's a death wish!"

Ye Cangwu suddenly turned around and shouted sharply:

"Prepare gifts immediately! Bring out all the aged medicinal herbs and ancient relics from the Ye family's treasury!"

A resolute glint flashed in Ye Cangwu's eyes as he decisively said:

"I will personally lead the team to the Li family in Mencheng early tomorrow morning to request an introduction and pay my respects to you, senior!"

"Remember, keep a humble attitude! Our Ye family doesn't ask for anything else, only to leave a good impression on this senior and secure an alliance and protection!"

"If we can attach ourselves to this supreme being, how could my Ye family possibly fail to survive in this impending great upheaval?"

"Yes! The patriarch is wise!"

The elders responded in unison and went to prepare.

......

Meanwhile, at the Jiangnan Provincial Headquarters of the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce.

Qian Baifu, the president of the Mencheng branch, was standing in front of a desk with his body slightly bowed.

Sitting in the office chair was a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle.

The man had a resolute face and eyes as calm as an ancient pool or deep well, exuding the composure of someone in a superior position.

This person is Situ Jing, the head of the Jiangnan Provincial Headquarters of the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce.

After listening to Qian Baifu's report, Situ Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Qian Baifu in disbelief:

"Old Qian, are you sure you didn't make a mistake in your investigation?"

"Was Lu Tianheng truly annihilated with a single finger strike?"

Qian Baifu hurriedly said:

"President Situ, how could I dare to utter the slightest falsehood?"

That's a grandmaster!

If this were in a provincial capital in Jiangnan, which prominent family wouldn't treat it like a deity?

This conclusion can be drawn from on-site investigation.

The most terrifying thing was that the entire Lu family, not a single one was spared; they were all drained of their life force and turned into dried corpses.

Qian Baifu swallowed hard, his voice filled with lingering fear:

"President, according to intelligence, this matter involves the Li family. I suspect it was done by that senior figure behind the Li family."

"When we were in the city before, although the Ye family set up a trap, our chamber of commerce tacitly approved of it."

"Now it seems that although that senior didn't hold it against us on the spot, if we don't take the initiative to speak up, what if he brings up old grievances someday..."

Upon hearing this, Situ Jing's heart skipped a beat.

Although the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce is spread throughout the country and has a huge influence, it is no match for a terrifying existence that can wipe out a Grandmaster family at will.

"To be able to casually kill a Grandmaster, this person's cultivation level is probably beyond our imagination."

Situ Jing said in a deep voice:

In this world, strength always prevails.

"With the Lu family destroyed, the Ye family will surely surrender to the city immediately. If our Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce does not act, we will be waiting to die."

"President, you mean...?"

Qian Baifu's eyes brightened slightly.

"Tomorrow morning, we will also prepare generous gifts and go to the city to pay our respects to that senior."
