Mu Jun followed behind Lu Ren, watching him sweep up the treasury's resources. The sight made his heart ache.
Prince Mu's Heaven Manor had amassed those resources over years of ruling the Prince Mu River Region. Now they had all fallen into Lu Ren's hands.
After stripping the treasury bare, Lu Ren left.
Just as he stepped out, a powerful aura descended from afar.
Everyone looked up and saw a woman with a commanding air approaching slowly through the sky.
It was Zhenlong Feihong, manor lord of Exquisite Heaven Manor!
Zhenlong Xiyue hurried forward. "Mother!"
Zhenlong Feihong nodded, then turned to Lu Ren with a complicated expression. "Lu Ren, you've made Prince Mu's Heaven Manor submit to Exquisite Heaven Manor. This gift is more than we can accept!"
Lu Ren smiled faintly. "You're making too much of it, Manor Lord. Prince Mu's Heaven Manor has no leader now. Having them submit to Exquisite Heaven Manor was simply convenient."
"What was merely convenient for you is an enormous favor to Exquisite Heaven Manor!"
Zhenlong Feihong smiled.
Once Exquisite Heaven Manor took over the Prince Mu River Region, it would truly control a region in the Middle River Region.
Neither the cultivation environment nor the resources it could command could be compared with those of the Lower Stream Region.
"In that case, sorry for the trouble, but could you help me find two materials?"
Lu Ren spoke.
"What materials?"
Zhenlong Feihong asked.
"Void-Ruin Woodheart and Cause-Severing Dao Soil!"
Lu Ren said, "These two materials are extremely important to me. The sooner we find them, the better!"
Zhenlong Feihong's gaze sharpened slightly. "They're both exceedingly rare, but don't worry. I'll use every resource at my disposal to find them as soon as possible!"
"Then I'm sorry for the trouble, Manor Lord!"
Lu Ren
