...

Foolish Underworld.

"From today onwards, you are the Lord of Mansion of the Foolish Underworld in Rolling Bone City."

Ling Huxiang pointed at the astonished Zhuo Xueer and slowly said.

"But! But if I’m the Lord of Mansion, then what will you be doing, Lord Linghu...?"

Zhuo Xueer’s face, half transformed into a Mantis Demon, was already gradually extending and assimilating to the other half.

This indicated that her demonization was worsening.

No matter how restrained she was daily, trying not to use that power, the unavoidable demonization progress continued to torment her.

Originally, if the sky fell there was someone taller to hold it up, with Ling Huxiang assisting in battle.

Now the entire Foolish Underworld depended on her to operate, wouldn’t she be shortening her lifespan...

Though... suddenly becoming the Lord of Mansion... seemed rather exhilarating...

Zhuo Xueer never imagined in her life that one day she could become a Lord of Mansion.

This position, no matter where it was placed, was reserved for top-tier experts, the crème de la crème, to qualify for holding, what capability did she have...

Being able to mix in as a Hall Master was solely due to the connection of hometown relationships...

"Me? Naturally, I’ll... go to the Capital!"

Listening to Ling Huxiang’s words, Zhuo Xueer opened her eyes wide on the spot.

"The Capital? What are you going to the Capital for? We just cooperated with Lei Qingzi to reorganize the forces in Rolling Bone City, we’ve already overcome that difficult stage, from now on it’s time to enjoy life! Yet suddenly you want to leave..."

"I have my plans, and I’m not leaving immediately since Lei Qingzi promised me cultivation resources, which have yet to be redeemed. But I’m certain I’ll leave, so during this time, I want to transfer the Lord of Mansion position to you and help you gradually get familiar with the daily responsibilities. Once you’re adept, I’ll then depart."

"Lord Linghu... without you, how can I command the scene..."

"Lei Qingzi will assist you, he’s now in the same boat as us, if something happens to Foolish Underworld, it’s equivalent to something happening to him. This guy is ambitious, resourceful, and adept at winning people’s hearts, as long as you follow him, Foolish Underworld will continue to thrive."

"..."

Zhuo Xueer said no more, only biting her lip tightly.

Following the destruction of Tianyuan Town, she fled here, following Ling Huxiang, scrambling in Rolling Stone Ancient City.

Though tired, though having faced dangers, under Ling Huxiang’s leadership, her days have been rather smooth and the Foolish Underworld has developed quite well.

Now everything has come together, the dilapidated Foolish Underworld in Rolling Bone City has been developed by them, but Ling Huxiang wants to leave...

"Is it because of Diao Deyi?"

Zhuo Xueer suddenly spoke out.

"Not entirely because of him... The Capital offers a larger space for development. Although Lei Qingzi promised me many cultivation resources, I’ve already hit a bottleneck, without venturing out and experiencing life-and-death crises, I fear I may never breakthrough."

"Diao Deyi and the Capital merely give my path forward a direction, a goal."

"Besides... he still owes me something."

Zhuo Xueer laughed, looking at Ling Huxiang, her gaze clear, determined, not resembling a lie.

"...Then will you come back?"

"If I manage to break through the realm... then I have an important task to accomplish. If I successfully resolve that, I’ll come back for you."

"...Alright, I’ll wait for you!"

Under the morning sun, the two looked at each other, as if everything was spoken without words.

The Ancient Gate Family in Rolling Bone City had been turned into chaos by Lei Qingzi.

Conflicts between family forces were frequently provoked into erupting.

Foolish Underworld and Lei Qingzi’s forces were thriving and rising amidst these gaps.

Though still lacking compared to the old family forces, they already had competitive power.

If Ling Huxiang stays, she might witness a new round of power transition in Rolling Bone City.

But...

She seeks something else.

Meanwhile, as the thriving development continues in Rolling Bone City.

In Thunder City, gradually recovering its vitality, with the reconstruction of the town, waves of people kept coming in.

After swallowing up other demolished major families, the remaining Four Great Families, possessing vast resources, were quite friendly to these outsiders flowing into Thunder City, offering benefits that were the best they’ve ever been.

In this environment, and even with active recruitment announcements, a group of people entered Thunder City and... sought out the Bo Family, one of the Four Great Families now only left from the original Ten Major Families.

"Lord Bo, I am... Yu Wenwuji! I wish to represent my brothers and join the Bo Family! To serve the Bo Family!"

The Patriarch of the Bo Family looked at the kneeling man before him, his eyes filled with amusement.

He could see the restless ambition brewing within this young man! And this ambition was not something the lad tried to hide at all!

But in the current revitalization of Thunder City, such ambitious fellows, along with the over a thousand experts this guy led, would all become a tremendous advantage in establishing the Bo Family’s dominance!

Merely ambitious subordinates, he could not control?

"With your commitment, from today, you will be the Captain of the Bo Family’s fifteenth patrol team. Your batch of subordinates will still be under your command, and I will deploy additional manpower into your team to assist you in completing the patrol task."

Yu Wenwuji smiled.

"Thank you, sir, for granting me this opportunity! I, Yu Wenwuji, will definitely prove my worth to you!"

After escaping Tianyuan Town, following the crowd in their upheaval and wandering, then being found and led by the dog-headed military advisor to organize a rescue, and then gathering manpower to become the leader of a big team, using resources within the team to recruit and allure the strong, plundering villages...

Those who dared to resist, those who misjudged, anyone who opposed him, Yu Wenwuji eliminated them all.

Now this team is nothing but a great mountain bandit squad! A plunder squad!

Choosing targets wisely, occupying weak village outposts, retreating before reinforcements from the big towns arrived, and moving across the wilderness; except for severe losses when encountering demons, Yu Wenwuji’s journey this far could be described as smooth sailing.

The Demon Capital attracted too much attention.

The court, the powers of the big towns, were all too preoccupied to care about their kind of guerrilla bandits.

By the time they turned their sights back, Yu Wenwuji’s team had already grown into its current formidable size.

Yu Wenwuji still remembers his greatest achievement, which was turning an entire village of people into part of his team.

The old, weak, and sick were resources to be discarded as bait when encountering demons.

Women were used to stabilize morale.

The strong were used to bolster the combat strength of the team.

Step by step, Yu Wenwuji dragged the team to its current standing.

And the changes in Thunder City were but his next opportunity!

Only in chaos can one climb upwards!

He thrived in chaos!

Even with the presence of old families, Yu Wenwuji remained confident he could lead the team to rise in prominence!

"Gang Leader, what did the people of the Bo Family say?"

Once outside the door, Wu Xinbang, the dog-headed military advisor, sidled over.

Though the status had changed, and Yu Wenwuji was now respectfully called leader, Wu Xinbang still habitually addressed him as Gang Leader.

"Lord Bo is very accommodating. From now on, we’ll be part of the Bo Family’s patrol team."

"Patrol? Gang Leader, did we trek all this way just to become lackeys for others?"

Wu Xinbang muttered in a low voice.

Yu Wenwuji merely smiled as he looked at him.

"There are different kinds of lackeys. We are the type that bites! While others are fit only for patrolling."

"Gang Leader, your meaning is..."

"Using others to do the dirty work. Though Thunder City appears united, rebuilding their homeland, in truth, everyone’s intentions are quite clear. Some dirty work requires outsiders to discreetly handle."

"We’re the blade?"

"A blade for killing, and moreover... when the time is ripe, that same blade can also turn against the wielder."

Yu Wenwuji spoke with utmost confidence, his eyes drifting towards the subordinates within his team.

Yes, he wasn’t strong enough.

Nor did he possess a supreme Martial Arts talent.

But he had manpower.

With enough means to bring together a group of strong individuals!

The legacy of the Red Immortal... that was certainly a coveted treasure!

Even if it was just some vague information, it was enough to make a group of people follow him wholeheartedly.

As Yu Wenwuji began his operations, the ruthless and ferocious fifteenth patrol team of the Bo Family became increasingly prominent in Thunder City.
