Hao Ren looked around with his spiritual sense after punching the man to check if Fu had any accomplices. After confirming that there was no one else, Hao Ren walked over to the groaning victim who was choking on his own blood.
Fu was shocked to see Hao Ren co over and he tried to stand up but he could do nothing more that shiver. The young man ca next to him, and stabbed him with a few pins, then he channeled so spiritual energy in Fu's body before he took out a glass vail, and poured its content inside the mouth of the old man.
Fu wanted to struggle but after a few seconds of drinking the potion he was struck in a daze. Hao Ren checked his pulse and dilation of the pupils before he asked, "Does anyone knows you are here?"
The man shook his head. Hao Ren asked, "Who are you?"
Fu tried to speak but his injuries were quite severe. The young man frowned and Yan appeared next to him. Hao Ren looked at her and sighed, "I did not expect you to be following , Sister Yan."
Yan smiled and said, "I did not expect you to have dical skills as well, Young Master."
Hao Ren revealed a faint smile and asked, "Do you have any healing dicine on you? I will compensate you when we get back ho."
Yan was surprised and said, "Young Master, you do not have to compensate anything. I have several of these pills. Do not worry."
Hao Ren wanted to say sothing before he saw Yan shoving the pill down the throat of the injured man. The spirit pill was quick to take effect and the injuries began to heal. However, Fu still appeared to be stunned. Hao Ren took so more needles to block off the spiritual circulation in his body quickly.
He asked, "Who are you?"
The man replied, "Fu, servant to master Liang Kun and his family."
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "Does Liang Kun suspect of killing Liang Mo?"
Fu relied, "No, he thinks of you as a naive chef."
Hao Ren almost burst out in a chuckle, he said, "Good, are you bind with any contract?"
Fu shook his head and said, "I am not, I serve my master because he saved ."
Hao Ren nodded and after a few monts, he placed his hand on Fu's forehead. Yan was wondering what Hao Ren was doing when a rune mark appeared between Fu's brow. The young lady was shocked and Hao Ren simply smiled as he said, "You can leave now, co by to the Crescent Moon Restaurant to share what Liang Kun has been doing every few days. Okay?"
In a daze Fu nodded, and then Hao Ren left the place allowing the man to rest. Yan was still in a daze, before she dashed over to follow the young man. When she caught up she wore an uneasy expression on her face. Hao Ren smiled and asked, "You want to ask where did I get that rune?"
Yan nodded hurriedly and then shook her head. For soone way older than him, Yan sure did not learn how to hide her true emotions. Hao Ren chuckled as he walked through the woods, "My master tried to teach this technique, but I have no understanding of the soul so he left a few soul marks. I can use those marks to control the targeted person one realm above mine."
Yan took in a deep breath and said, "That is a very strong card, but Young Master why did you use it on Fu, after all, he is just a servant and won't be of use to us in the future."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "His prestige of the golden core would be of our use, after Liang Kun is dead, Fu can be used to gather information from the other cities."
Yan thought for a bit and asked, "Young Master, wouldn't it be better for Liang Kun to be a slave of the mark rather than Fu?"
Hao Rens topped in his track and said, "Thank you for correcting . I have enough seals to capture all twenty two city lords. Then I can handle the royal family with ease."
Earlier, he used the soul mark that he bought from the system mall for thousand spirit stones. Yan nodded, and they continued deeper in the wilderness. In the south of the city, they had a huge port, and the ocean where the fishern worked. While the forest lay in the north. There were two entrances of the city and high walls in the surroundings.
Hao Ren did not reveal his core formation realm aura, but the spirit beasts still did not co close to them. It was as if they were a plague. Yan said, "Young Master, it is because of your physical strength."
The young man asked, "What is physical aura?"
Yan replied calmly, "It is the intimidation that the spirit beasts feel when they sense soone with a stronger physique. They avoid that entity to survive."
Hao Ren thought for a bit and nodded, before he called up the attribute panel.

Hao Ren was thinking about how he should go about improving his skills, he heard a roar in the distance. Yan checked with her spiritual sense and said, "It is a Rock Tiger, level five."
The young man thought for a bit and said, "Let's go, we will hunt the tiger."
Yan nodded, and the two flew over. She saw that Hao Ren took out a talisman and pasted it on his forearm. She found it unfathomable on how Hao Ren had a solution to solve the problems that he faced. After the talisman was applied, she sensed that his physical aura had been sealed.
She was inford that he was a disciple of a very powerful person so she was not too surprised anymore, but on the other hand, she also thought that it was a waste to use such things for these silly troubles.
Hao Ren had co to understand that sothing that could be solved by spending money was not a problem at all. He did not care about money, but about strength and power.
...
After a few minutes of flying through the woods they ca to find a tiger feeding on a stag three tis its size. Yan said, "The rock tiger is a rare creature, although it is half the size of any other tiger beast, its strength is superior. It is said that if this beast is found it the mountains, one should run whether you have the cultivation advantage or not, doesn't matter."
Hao Ren was surprised, but then he thought about it before comnting, "The rocky skin serves the perfect camouflage. I think this guy also has a lot of spiritual skills as well."
Yan nodded and admired how perceptive the young man was, and said, "Please approach with caution, young master."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Thank you."
Then he jumped of the tree, and walked toward the tiger beast. His movents have been noticed by the beast as soon as Hao Ren touched the ground. The tiger raised its head, and turned to look at Hao Ren, and roared loudly, displaying the blood stained teeth and mouth to project intimidation.
The young man smiled, he could sense the earth trembling from the roar. The might of the tiger was higher than that of the enemies he had faced. His body was pumped with adrenaline. Suddenly, his instincts kicked in and he jumped back. On the spot he was standing, a huge earthen spike appeared.

Hao Ren's face turned serious, as he cald down and realized that he was about to underestimate his opponent. The young man began to move, and from a distance the Rock tiger continue its attacks. After circling the tiger two tis, Hao Ren dashed forward.
The tiger also did not ignore the challenge and moved ahead roaring with rage. This human dared to co to his territory and laugh in provokation. Not only that, but he dared to charge ahead knowing my might. Since he wants to die, let be his benefactor.
This was the thought process of the beast, and it slashed out at Hao Ren with rocky claws that tore apart the wind and looked nacing. Hao Ren suddenly ducked and weaved his head to avoid the slash before his left hook landed on the tiger's shoulder.
The beast was obviously unprepared, it looked down on the human race. The impact sent it off balance, and it landed on the side, shaking its head. The beast looked at Hao Ren and roared, as if saying, 'How dare you trick ?! Bastard!'
