The ancestor
Sitting to the side, Elder Hao, the head of the medicine warehouse, glared at Zi Yan and said angrily, "Don't you dare come to my Medicine Stockpile! You've wasted all my stock over the years, don't you even care about this old man!"
Zi Yan pouted and said, "Anyway, the Medicine Stockpile has it ready-made, so why not take it? I hardly ever go to the Medicine Stockpile anymore!"
Elder Hao, his lips twitching, demanded, "You rascal, you've come less often, but every time you do, you steal some extremely precious medicinal herbs from the Medicine Stockpile! I haven't even asked you yet, what did you do with those herbs? You used to just eat them right there in the Medicine Stockpile!"
Xiao Yu, standing to the side, was slightly taken aback and said, "Weren't those medicinal herbs you gave me supposed to be found deep in the mountains? Did you take them from the Medicine Stockpile?"
Elder Hao looked at Xiao Yu and said, "She gave you all her medicinal herbs? That makes sense, you're Sixth Grade Alchemist, Zi Yan must have entrusted you with refining pills!"
Zi Yan argued with Elder Hao for a bit, but Xiao Yu grabbed her by the collar and dragged her back. If they continued arguing, Xiao Yu couldn't guarantee that Elder Hao wouldn't faint from anger.
Back at Pan Men, Xiao Yu and Elder Hai, Xiao Li mentioned that they would be going to Twilight City the next day.
The next day.
Xiao Yu looked helplessly at Cai Lin, Zi Yan, and Little Xiao Nian following behind him, "What are you all doing following along?"
Cai Lin glanced at Xiao Yu with somewhat indifferent eyes before looking away and said, "Zi Yan is dragging me along!"
Zi Yan was slightly taken aback, and upon seeing Cai Lin's slightly threatening gaze, she quickly said, "Yes, I wanted Sister Cai Lin to come along!"
"There's no point in you following along, none of you need to come!" Xiao Yu said, somewhat speechless. This was like a school trip, but a completely disorganized and undisciplined one!
"We're just taking a stroll, and besides, I'm Inner Academy elder. Why can't you let me out? If it really doesn't work, we can split up. You go your way, and we'll go ours!" Zi Yan said, proudly taking out her Elder Token.
"And another thing, your strength might not even be as strong as ours. Sister Cai Lin is Dou Zong expert!" Zi Yan said, looking at Xiao Yu and Elder Hai.
Looking at the haughty Zi Yan, the aloof Cai Lin, and the innocent-looking Little Xiao Nian, Xiao Yu finally had no choice but to say, "Alright, let's all go together!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Cai Lin's lips curled into a slight smile, which quickly vanished. She thought to herself, "Why am I so happy? Do I need to tell him where I'm going? Humph!"
Zi Yan, on the other hand, said happily, "That's more like it!"
The group then headed towards the Inner Academy gate. With the Elder Token, the Inner Academy also provided them with a flying mount. Of course, apart from Xiao Li, everyone in their group could actually use their Dou Qi Wings, but having a flying mount would allow them to rest.
As the flying beast soared into the sky, Xiao Yu and his group flew towards Twilight City.
Twilight City is one of the large cities in the Black Corner Region and the stronghold of the Blood Sect. Like Maple City and Black Rock City, it has a large population and is a good large city, which can serve as a stronghold for the Underworld!
Xiao Li had already told Xiao Yu about Xiao Ding's ideas. Xiao Ding wanted to develop the Underworld in a comprehensive way, so the Underworld should be developed in separate parts. Twilight City was just one of the strongholds and would also serve as a branch of the Underworld.
According to Xiao Ding's plan, the Underworld was divided into four different forces: the Shadow Guards, the Medicine Hall, the Merchant Guild, and the Guard Team. The Shadow Guards consisted of experts trained by Elder Ling at Xiao Yu's request. Before Elder Ling left, these thirty teenagers were handed over to Xiao Yu. Their current strength was at the Dou Ling. Of course, a large part of their strength came from the pills they used!
The Medicine Hall is also very simple and clear. As Sixth Grade Alchemist, Xiao Yu naturally has a lot of prestige, so he will recruit a large number of alchemists from the Black Corner Region to control pills and firmly grasp the highly profitable pill auction industry. Xiao Yu also plans to return to Jia Ma in a year or two to talk to the Alchemist Guild.
The Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire has quite a few alchemists. Several of the alchemists he knows are fourth-grade, and the guild leader Fama, is Fifth-grade Alchemist!
Xiao Ding also plans to establish his own chamber of commerce. Now that several major forces in the Black Corner Region have been overthrown, it is the perfect time for Xiao Ding and his group to move in. With the help of alchemists, their chamber of commerce can be established very quickly. After all, who would refuse a chamber of commerce that always has pills for sale?
As for the final guard team, that would be the visible strength of the Underworld. The guard team's members would need to be recruited from outside or trained internally. Xiao Yu wasn't worried about that; with the Jia Nan Academy as a cradle of talent, would the guard team lack members?
The Black Corner Region is just Xiao Yu's first step. Although the Black Corner Region is very large, there are not many strong people. Even the two Peak Dou Emperor, the Golden Silver Elders, are ruling here. Not to mention that Xiao Yu also has Dou Zong powerhouse like Cai Lin by his side!
(Cai Lin's inner thoughts: Ha, now you remember me?)
After completely bringing the Black Corner Region under the control of the Underworld, the next step should be the entire Northwest Continent. The Northwest Continent is very large, and in addition to the Black Corner Region, there are the Chuyun Empire Jia Ma Empire, the Chuyun Empire, the Luoyan Empire, and the Mulan Empire. Among these, the Luoyan Empire and the Mulan Empire contain two powerful forces: the Golden Goose Sect and the Mulan Valley.
What Xiao Yu needs to do now is to firmly control the entire Northwest Continent under the control of the Underworld. In this way, he can go to the Central Plains without any worries, and he can also bring some powerful people with him!
Just as Xiao Yu was deep in thought, Xiao Li reminded him from the side, "Little Yu, we've arrived at Twilight City!"
Xiao Yu suddenly came to his senses, stood up and looked down at the corner of a city that was gradually emerging from the sky. A faint smell of blood wafted over him. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Twilight City looked even more lifeless, making people feel depressed!
The flying beast landed in the woods outside Twilight City. After Xiao Yu and the others disembarked, they headed directly towards the city gate of Twilight City.
When the group arrived at Twilight City, they saw a group of people dressed in red robes checking people at the massive city gate. Xiao Yu frowned slightly and said, "Wasn't Fan Lao the Blood Sect already dead? Why are there still people from the Blood Sect here?"
Xiao Li was also somewhat puzzled, Elder Hai said, "Why don't we go up and take a look? Perhaps they aren't from the Blood Sect?"
As they drew closer, they heard the group of Blood Robe men coldly demanding that passersby hand over Gold Coins before entering the city. Moreover, their robes bore the insignia of the Blood Sect, confirming that they were indeed members of the Blood Sect!
"Let's go into the city and take a look!" Xiao Yu said, taking out Gold Coins from his Storage Ring and throwing them to the group of Blood Robe men before leading Cai Lin inside.
Just as they entered Twilight City, inside the Blood Sect's main hall, an elder of the Blood Sect respectfully addressed the person seated in the shadows at the head of the table, emanating a chilling aura of bloodlust. "Ancestor, Sect Master, the Sect Master has been confirmed dead at the Jia Nan Academy. Shall we go and seek revenge?"
The figure lurking in the shadows spoke in a chilling voice, "No need, first go and find me a hundred strong men!"
The Blood Sect elder's face twitched violently, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes as he said, "Yes, Ancestor!"
