Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 949 826: Gathering Manpower (2)

"Senior, you're joking. I'm very well-behaved, woof." Ling Di wagged his tail, grinning like a sunny little puppy without any nace.

Yan Xuan rolled his eyes, thinking that when your true colors show, the deceived mbers of the courtyard will settle scores with you.

This ti, he didn't bother to feign misery. He tilted his head and said, "Master, I want to eat at and drink wine."

"I'll cook a few more dishes later, you can eat more, but let's refrain from drinking for now," Jiang Yuan nodded and replied, "After eating, you should rest a bit. I might need to take you out for a fight, and drinking could lead to mistakes."

Upon hearing that they would be fighting instead of eating ice, Yan Xuan's feathers on his head stood up in excitent, "Great, great! Who does Master want to fight? I'll make sure to beat them till smoke cos out of their ears!"

Ling Di wagged his tail like a propeller, "I'll go too. My nose is sharp, guaranteed to complete the mission excellently!"

Bai Yunqi was slightly startled, "Venerable Family?"

He thought, are they really going to deploy a Peak of Tribulation Crossing Realm weapon? With such heavy artillery heading over, capturing alive seems out of the question?

"Fengdu wants to keep so alive, and we must ensure none of those who caused you harm escape, and two of them must die," Jiang Yuan solemnly said, "Not only will I bring Yan Xuan and Ling Di, but I'll also call City Lord Yuan from Cloud City, aiming for a flawless victory and leaving no hidden dangers, otherwise you'll still be at risk when traveling outside."

Never have I seen such murderous intent from the always elegant Venerable Family, Bai Yunqi's heart ward, his eyes slightly reddened as he made a deep bow.

Ling Di heard this, and woofed, there was sothing going on here!

For the first ti, seeing their new master eager to pursue and kill to the end, it must be a juicy secret. He hurriedly asked what exactly happened, do they need to call for help.

Jiang Yuan knew the Old Dog referred to summoning Cloud Concealnt Sect for assistance, but he imdiately waved his hand, saying, "No need for such a big formation. Against three Demon Cultivators, we only worry about unexpected complications when capturing alive, it's not like the Demon King is coming personally. Besides, Netherworld Fengdu will dispatch people too, we have enough fighting power."

As for what really happened, he gathered the courtyard mbers and introduced them to He Miancun, skipping the part about the death and resurrection of contract pets, and briefly recounted the sequence of events.

In the sunny courtyard, the atmosphere suddenly beca heavy.

"Oh wow, daring to ss with the big white snake?" Qing Niao was so angry she stomped her feet, though usually she and the snake don't get along, upon hearing he was bullied, she exploded, "Brother, who did it? I'll grab an axe and chop them!"

The lark on her shoulder bounced along, "Mr. Jiang, I'll go too! I can help!"

Jiang Yuan looked at them both with relief, refusing, "You two should focus on cultivating. I'm just telling everyone to be careful when going out in the future. Thankfully, Little White was purely lucky, otherwise he'd be truly dead."

If it weren't for the reliable system providing a safety net, and cautiously making tons of Resurrection Talismans, there wouldn't even be ashes left!

"Sigh!" Qing Niao instantly deflated, feeling even worse inside.

After all, being a reincarnated Peak of Tribulation Crossing Realm, after years of peace, a truly thrilling event has finally occurred, yet she can't even get a foothold in it.

mories of quick revenge from her prior life linger subtly; she turned to look at the lark with utter seriousness, "From tomorrow—oh no, today, after this al, we must stay in the Secret Realm as much as possible, aiming to cultivate to death if needed, striving to reach Great Demon Cultivator at an early date!"

"Great! Or let's skip this al and start right away!" The lark replied with vigor.

Qing Niao hesitated for a mont, "Since we're here, it's better to eat first. You'll need strength to work afterward. Besides, the als that brother makes now are tastier."

Indeed, Jiang Yuan typically honed his Cooking Skill in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous lunch spread across a large table.

He also gave the two Ghost Cultivators a special ghost al consisting of two at, two vegetables, and a soup, astounding the newly arrived He Miancun, making her head buzz, sampling a bite and acknowledging even in Fengdu City, there wasn't such hospitality!

"Choices indeed matter, glad I made a swift decision." From this 'simple al,' she realized the advantage of staying by Mr. Jiang.

No wonder even a senior like Yan Xuan is willing to be a spirit pet, shalessly pleading for at, she must make an effort too, hoping to extend her Guest status for a long ti.

Moreover, hearing the senior talk about eating Flood Dragon at... Flood Dragon?! at?!

The influx of information in a short ti overwheld He Miancun, and realizing the plate contained Flood Dragon at, she felt dizzy as a ghost.

The legendary extinct Flood Dragon, surprisingly appearing as a delicacy on Mr. Jiang's courtyard table!

Moreover, seeing those Demon Cultivators of not-high realm, talking and laughing naturally, evidently aware and accustod to it, she was even more perplexed, wondering what kind of Immortal days they lived in Mr. Jiang's courtyard?

From the dining table, courtyard scenery, and dense spiritual energy, one could glimpse, she imdiately decided to fight for a spot to participate in the demon cultivator siege!

After all, from the discussion, it was clear Mr. Jiang was a very traditional cultivator, never initiating trouble, normally keeping a low profile, making sieges of such grandeur rare.

As the newest Guest, she urgently needed an opportunity to prove her value!

Hu Zhile and others were anxious and furious after hearing about Bai Yunqi's incident, yet, lacking strength, unable to join even in a group fight. They could only silently hold their resolve, wanting to cultivate harder, hoping in future tis of need to contribute as mbers cheering the atmosphere.

The most disappointed was Tang Qin, who had held onto a glimr of hope, after seeing the higher realm, previously in Fengdu holding an official position, orthodox Ghost Cultivator He Miancun, she felt she had no chance.

Fortunately, after al, Jiang Yuan proactively asked if she was willing to be a Guest, and additionally offered the chance to recover in the Netherworld courtyard, familiarizing with the Lotus Peak environnt.

Tang Qin was eager to accept, especially since Lotus Peak overlooked her original Yin Mountain residence! Perfect timing to find Uncle Corpse Puppet back, at least soone strong to rely on in battle.

Issuing the Guest Jade Token, sending her to the second sanctuary, Jiang Yuan teleported back to the courtyard to contact City Lord Yuan, asking if she was free to join a fight.

The response was almost instant, confirming the specific location to teleport to Cat Ridge, then being enthusiastically t by Ling Di running to greet her.

"It's clear the courtyard Mr. Jiang often ntions is indeed a treasure trove!" Yuan Man had just teleported to Cat Ridge, wondering why soone of Mr. Jiang's caliber would willingly stay in such a barren place, considering the usual spiritual energy from yesterday's fusion had pretty much dispersed.

But upon entering the courtyard, instantly enveloped by spiritual energy denser than the daylight Wilderness, she exclaid with admiration while scrutinizing the surroundings, Furong Spirit Pool, Divine Wood, Mushroom House... each one remarkable in its own right, her eyes overwheld.

After a while, Yuan Man couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this guy is surprisingly low-key, privately living such a grand lifestyle!

Moreover, clearly many things can't be bought just with money — like the treasure ship floating in mid-air, exuding an extraordinary aura, evoking envy.

Then ca the explanation, being a City Lord and a Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator, she bore the responsibility of a city, supplying large quantities of Spirit dicine and adhering to the promise to provide items for the teleportation array trade, thus never being wealthy, never witnessing such a grand display like the nghua Treasure Ship.

"If City Lord Yuan likes this place, feel free to stay in the courtyard for a while when you have free ti," Jiang Yuan gestured, intending to introduce the courtyard's features.

"If granted such honor, that would be wonderful. But let's discuss the main issue first. Previously, you ntioned a fight—what's the specific situation? How many opponents are there? What's their realm?" Yuan Man, rembering she still owed a debt, hurriedly wanted to repay it before discussing other matters.

He briefly explained the event, emphasizing that this collaboration with the Netherworld sought to keep so opponents alive.

After listening, Yuan Man frowned, "Keeping them alive is the most troubleso, it binds our hands and feet without daring to exert full force. Nonetheless, let's wait for information from Fengdu first to ascertain where they're hiding; if there's sufficient spiritual energy, I could try using so seeds."

But if they're in the Demon Realm, my ans would be severely affected, after all, without spiritual energy in their territory.

Moreover, regarding the Myriad Realms Mirror you ntioned, I've heard of it. Supposedly, it once hung high in the Palace of the Polestar, a Divine Artifact used by the Celestial Emperor to oversee the Myriad Realms. According to reason, it can view any location! While we discuss privately, could we be under their surveillance already?"
