Defense Clan, Honest Niu Gao

Although the location of the Defense Clan is not far from the Clear Sky Sect for Titled Douluo.

However, the Floating Island was too big. Even with the Jin E pulling at full power, it took a whole month to move it to the city where the Defense Clan lived.

Longxing City a small city in a vassal state under the rule of the Star Luo Empire.

"Huff, huff, huff, Your Excellency, we've arrived!"

At this moment, Jin E was almost like a dead dog, lying on the ground in front of Zhu Zhuqing, panting heavily, completely lacking the demeanor of a strong person.

"Okay, thank you for your help. You can go now."

Zhu Zhuqing stood up from the service of the Black Shadow Soldier, Black Shadow Soldier then disappeared and returned to the Shadow Kingdom.

"Thank you, sir. Goodbye!"

Having received Zhu Zhuqing's reply, the Jin E was no longer the Death Energy creature it had been before. It sprang to its feet and, without a word, turned and flew towards the Spirit Hall at a speed no different from being chased by a dog.

It's still too dangerous outside. He won't leave Spirit City for the rest of his life until he breaks through to the Limit Douluo level. Moreover, Qian Daoliu promised to come back, but he hasn't returned at all in the past half month. He has to go back and have a word with Qian Daoliu.

As for Dugu Bo?

There was nothing more for him to do, so Zhu Zhuqing sent him back, otherwise people would have thought she was abusing an elderly person.

"The Defense Clan".

Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the edge of the Floating Island and had a clear view of the small town below.

It's about the same size as Floating Island; it can only be considered a small town.

However, this small town is home to Soul Douluo- level powerhouse, so it's no wonder it's been overlooked.

Stepping into the air, Zhu Zhuqing landed directly on the air and her body rapidly descended.

As for whether the Floating Island will drift away?

The answer is almost certainly no. Floating Island are too heavy; even trying to move one would require a tremendous amount of force.

Without external interference, the location of the Floating Island will not change much.

The territory of the Defense Clan.

Because of their expertise in construction, the Defense Clan frequently receives construction tasks from the Star Luo Empire, such as reinforcing city walls and building trenches, and they live a comfortable life.

However, they dare not develop in larger cities, fearing that the Spirit Hall might seize the opportunity to take revenge.

The clan members usually split up, with half going out to take on jobs and the other half responsible for cultivation and protecting the clan's territory.

The clan chief, Niu Gao, was stationed in the clan's territory to prevent danger.

Boom!

An object resembling a meteorite fell from the sky, smashing into the training ground of the Defense Clan and creating a crater tens of meters wide, with cracks spreading for hundreds of meters.

"Who dares to be so insolent in my tribe?!"

Niu Gao, as the clan leader, immediately appeared on the training ground and solemnly roared as he looked at the dust-filled pit.

"I."

A cool, clear female voice came from behind him.

when!?

Niu Gao's pupils dilated in shock. He quickly turned around and backed away to create distance, almost stepping directly into the crater Zhu Zhuqing had created when she landed.

Steadying himself, Niu Gao finally got a clear look at the person's appearance.

She was a beautiful woman, but also very dangerous. At least she was very fast, so fast that he didn't even have a chance to react.

"Who are you, and why are you trespassing on my clan's territory?"

Niu Gao remained on guard, his eyes fixed on Zhu Zhuqing, fearing that he might be attacked if he wasn't careful.

"Don't worry about who I am. I'm here to do business with you. Help me build a palace somewhere, and I'll give you the appropriate reward."

Zhu Zhuqing swiftly and decisively stated her needs.

"Call!"

Niu Gao breathed a sigh of relief. So it was a guest. Although the guest's way of making an appearance was a bit... unconventional, as long as he paid, everything was negotiable.

"Oh, it's a distinguished guest! Please come in, please come in, let's sit down and have a chat."

The serious look on Niu Gao's face vanished instantly, replaced by a bright smile.

Only now does he truly understand the importance of money. Haven't you seen that even the Speed Clan of the Four Great Clans, is almost starving?

"I wonder what you want to build, where it is located, and if you have given me any general idea."

Niu Gao had someone brew a pot of tea.

He could tell at a glance that Zhu Zhuqing came from an extraordinary background and was definitely not the kind of person who was short of money. He had to treat such a big client well, no matter what.

The Defense Clan is indeed very knowledgeable about architecture; even a simple wooden house demonstrates their exceptional craftsmanship.

Even a small guesthouse is meticulously decorated; although it lacks overly luxurious ornaments, it is very tasteful.

Looking at the room, Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, indicating that she hadn't chosen the wrong person.

"Build me a palace, not too luxurious but not too plain either, as exquisite as possible, and also a bit imposing. As for the location..."

Zhu Zhuqing pointed her finger to the sky.

"What?"

Niu Gao was a little taken aback.

In the sky?

What could possibly be in the sky?

Could it be that she wants to send me to heaven to build her palace?

Niu Gao was about to explode, after all, sending him to heaven was just a way to kill him, wasn't it?

Then Zhu Zhuqing spoke slowly.

"I need you to build me a Floating Fortress in the air. Although it will be difficult, the materials are available here, so you can just use what you have on hand."

"???"

Niu Gao slowly typed out a question mark.

Seeing Niu Gao's bewildered expression, Zhu Zhuqing didn't bother to explain. With a thought, she took Niu Gao and disappeared from the room.

When Niu Gao came to his senses again, he found himself in a new place.

"What... what is this?"

Niu Gao looked at this familiar place and felt a sense of déjà vu.

It wasn't until he turned around and saw the dilapidated plaque of the Clear Sky Sect that he realized what was happening.

Isn't this Haoyue Mountain of the Clear Sky Sect?

The mountain peak, which looks like a bright moon floating on the mainland, is called Haoyue Mountain!

"Your task is to level everything on this site that relates to the Clear Sky Sect, and then build a palace on top of it!"

Zhu Zhuqing gave instructions to Niu Gao, who was still in a daze.

"But, but, but isn't this Clear Sky Sect's territory?"

Niu Gao was somewhat bewildered.

"The Clear Sky Sect? That's all in the past. Now, all that's left is my floating castle, understand?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Niu Gao and said.

"Understood, understood!"

Niu Gao now understood perfectly well that this ruthless person had wiped out the Clear Sky Sect and even seized their clan's territory.

What's even more outrageous is that she's being asked to build a castle for him, a member of one of the four major affiliated families of the Clear Sky Sect. That's truly unbelievable.

"The Floating Island is just a thousand meters above Longxing City. If you have time, please build the castle as soon as possible. If you can't manage it yourselves, you can ask the Speed Clan for help."

Zhu Zhuqing wasn't afraid of Niu Gao's underhanded tactics at all; after all, she was invincible and could do whatever she wanted.

"Yes, yes, we guarantee to complete the mission, but..."

Niu Gao dared not refuse Zhu Zhuqing's request. Putting aside the fact that the Clear Sky Sect's territory was covered in blood, he still couldn't figure out how Zhu Zhuqing had managed to bring him up here.

I agreed, but what about the money...?

After all, the Defense Clan still needs to eat, and although there is stone on this Floating Island, the timber and other materials must be purchased on the Douluo Continent.

They can't do this job without money.

"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin, and a ten-thousand-year-old strength-type right arm bone!"

Zhu Zhuqing's previous offer almost made Niu Gao cry.

Build a city? What can you do with 100,000 Gold Soul Coin?

But when the next offer came, Niu Gao stopped crying. It was Soul Bone, and a ten-thousand-year-old strength-type Soul Bone at that. He didn't care where the Soul Bone came from anymore.

A single ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is worth more than ten million; that's enough to build a city or something.

Anyway, the manpower used is also from the Strength Clan, and the materials cost a lot, but the main cost is labor.

One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin are enough for them to buy wood and eat.

At worst, he can just stick some more inside.

If he completes this mission, he can earn a Soul Bone for free.

only...

Niu Gao glanced at Zhu Zhuqing cautiously.

"I'll give you the goods first, and I'll come back to collect them in a year. If you just do this half-heartedly, your Defense Clan probably doesn't want to know why the Clear Sky Sect is gone."

Zhu Zhuqing tossed Niu Gao a box and a Black Card.

"Understood, understood. A year should be enough. Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely handle it perfectly for you."

Niu Gao quickly hugged the item to his chest, opened the box, and a surge of violent and pure Soul Power poured out from it.

Soul Bone that is at least 40,000 years old.

They made a fortune!

Niu Gao quickly closed the box and bowed humbly to Zhu Zhuqing.

As for the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect?

What does this have to do with him?

When Clear Sky Sect abandoned them, they didn't consider their lives or deaths. Why should he consider the fate of the Clear Sky Sect now?

The one who gives him benefits is the true benefactor.

"Keep up the good work!"

After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she vanished in a flash.

As for how Niu Gao got down?

Soul Saint can briefly fly, although they can't actually fly, but Soul Douluo Undying die from falling.

"Pah! That damned Clear Sky Sect, they've finally gotten their comeuppance!"

Niu Gao didn't stand up straight until Zhu Zhuqing left.

Arriving at the gate of the Clear Sky Sect, he looked at the three large characters "Clear Sky Sect" on the plaque and spat out his saliva in disdain.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he jumped up and punched the signboard.

The sudden retreat of the Clear Sky Sect caused the Spirit Hall to vent its anger on these Four Great Clans, resulting in heavy losses for them.

It's been over a decade and I still haven't recovered.

Now that he has learned that the Clear Sky Sect has been wiped out, he feels only relief.

All of Niu Gao's actions were being watched by countless eyes in the shadows.

Zhu Zhuqing would never do anything that would put herself in danger.

Furthermore, the materials you can buy with 100,000 Gold Soul Coin aren't much better.

Her current plan is for the Black Shadow Soldier to learn architectural techniques from the Defense Clan, and then have the Shadow Soldier Legion renovate the site for a while when the opportunity arises in the future.

Similarly, not only in architecture, but Zhu Zhuqing arranged for Black Shadow Soldier to learn about every industry in the Douluo Continent.

What she wanted was an all-powerful Shadow Soldier Legion.

As half a month passed, her Shadow Soldier Legion received a significant replenishment, with about five thousand fifth-tier Black Shadow Soldier already gathered, and it wouldn't be long before she could gather ten thousand more.
