Disbanding His Subordinates, Cultivating in Peace (Part 2)

There are quite a few divine beasts who see things as clearly as Kloss. Only a few divine beasts who cannot see the situation clearly or are unwilling to give up the training bonus brought by the beast taming contract are still hesitant to continue to maintain the contract.

However, Fengyun didn't mind. He had already studied the bloodlines of these divine beasts and kept samples of them. Apart from Joel, the Shadow Eight-Clawed Octopus, whom he wouldn't let go, he didn't care too much about whether the others lived or died.

The fact that he's now willing to support them is out of kindness, hoping that those who follow him will have a good ending.

Under the watchful eyes of Fengyun, the divine beast, who could see the situation clearly, immediately severed its connection with the contractor and then stood silently to the side.

After confirming that the divine beasts who still intended to continue their contracts were genuinely interested in continuing, Fengyun did not insist on them breaking off their contracts.

After settling everyone in, Fengyun smiled and said, "Although the Light Shadow Town has been disbanded and I will be living in Qinghuo City from now on, and I won't be coming out unless necessary, it doesn't mean that we won't keep in touch anymore."

"To avoid shortages of resources, I will purchase some souls every year to refine Soul Gold Bead. If you are interested, you can send some soul resources over directly."

"I will reward you with Fusion Potion and Soul Gold Bead based on the amount of souls you send!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces stiffened. Although they longed for freedom, they were also reluctant to give up the Soul Gold Bead they received annually under Fengyun's command and the Fusion Potion provided by Fengyun.

They had initially thought that, given Fengyun's personality, he might pass on the formula to them, but now they knew that Fengyun had no intention of doing so.

"Of course, don't come too often, I..."

Just as he was about to tell everyone not to come too frequently so as not to disturb his cultivation, Fengyun realized that even if they came less often, once per person, it would still amount to thirty or forty times.

Looking around at the Light Shadow Town, he had an idea and continued, "Forget it, you guys shouldn't come to Qinghuo City to find me. Gather the soul resources you collect each year here first, give them to Joel, and then he can hand them over to me in the city!"

Joel was taken aback and said, "Leave it to me, sir. Can I do it?"

Just now, Fengyun released his control over everyone's souls except his. Joel knew that Fengyun didn't intend to let him go. He could understand this as well, since the Soul Gold Bead refining magic array required his racial abilities to be effective.

Even though Fengyun has developed a tentacle cage with some of his abilities that can achieve the same effect as when he casts the Phantom Tentacles, it is still far inferior to when he casts it himself.

So he didn't make a fuss about it.

He was even quite happy, because although following Fengyun meant losing his freedom, he no longer had to worry about cultivation issues.

But he never expected Fengyun to suddenly say such a thing!

If he is responsible for collecting souls and then handing them over to Fengyun in Qinghuo City, wouldn't that mean he has become the new boss of this Light Shadow Town?

This position should be held by Great Shaman, based on both seniority and ability!

Thinking of this, Joel turned around and looked around, only to find that the Great Shaman seemed to be gone.

Fengyun chuckled and advised, "Remove the 'ba' from your name, you can do it."

"It's not a big deal, do you think it's difficult?"

"And even if you can't, I'm still here, aren't I?"

At this point, he looked around and said, "Although I have lifted the spell on everyone's souls, we are brothers after all, and I believe you will still give me this much face!"

Those around him immediately chimed in, "Sir, you're too kind. It's our honor to serve you."

"Yes, yes, I don't want to break free from soul control, I just want to keep following the adults!"

"Meeting you, sir, is the greatest blessing of our lives. Anyone who dares to disrespect you will have to step over my dead body first."

"Light Shadow Town is my home, and I will always only acknowledge you as my boss!"

Hearing the increasingly outrageous and nauseating words, Fengyun didn't say anything more. After instructing everyone to take out most of the stockpiled supplies in Light Shadow Town and distribute them, he left with Joel.

Ten years later

Fengyun Yun, who was staying in Qinghuo City, suddenly looked in a certain direction and thought to himself, "Disappeared!"

"Even if the location marker I left on the Great Shaman is far away, at most it will only be less clearly sensed, it will never disappear completely and become undetectable!"

"Now that the soul mark has disappeared, it means either the Great Shaman has broken through to the Middle God, discovered the soul mark I left on him, and destroyed it."

"Either he died, and the soul marker dissipated automatically without a host to attach to."

"Or... he might not even be in this plane anymore!"

Thinking of this, Fengyun smiled slightly and sensed another soul mark, saying, "The mark on Bomont's body has also disappeared, and it disappeared almost at the same time as the Great Shaman's mark."

"One might be a misunderstanding, but two can't possibly be a coincidence!"

"Especially since the two of them disappeared so close together, there aren't that many coincidences in the world!"

"Hahaha~, it seems there's hope for me to return to the Yulan Continent ahead of schedule!"

A flash of excitement crossed Fengyun's eyes, and he immediately stood up, wanting to go and investigate the place where the Great Shaman and Bomont had disappeared.

But in the end, he shook his head and sat down quietly again!

Although going back is important, he has something even more important to do now, and that is to become a god!

He was slightly off in his estimation of the time it would take to break through to godhood. He originally thought it would take about eight or nine years to become a god, but he did not expect that the deeper his understanding of the Light and Dark Elements, the higher the difficulty of comprehending the Light-Dark Unity Magic Array.

Ten years have passed, and only today has he truly grasped the essence of the two elements of light and darkness to the point of near mastery.

He had a premonition that if he worked harder, he could truly become a god.

However, considering that there weren't many high-quality souls for him to hunt in the Yulan Plane, Fengyun decided to take advantage of the fact that he was still in the Dangerous Prison and had enough raw materials to refine the Soul Gold Bead to replenish the consumption of his soul and the impact injuries he suffered from comprehending the Light-Dark Unity Magic Array on the Light-Shadow Orb, and directly break through to godhood in one go.

However, before he could continue to study the magic circle for long, he received a telepathic message from Joel saying that the Light Shadow Town was in trouble!
