Don't assume that the Yin Lineage was really poor just because they were so poor when Chen Mu first arrived in North Wind City that they had to cut back on money for even a banquet.
They were poor because the Lineage's funds were used to maintain the vast commercial network in North Wind City, including the salaries of Lineage servants and employees, and the turnover of goods.
At the time, the Yin Lineage only lacked liquid funds, but their fixed assets were by no means small. They had already sold off shops, land, mines, and so on, in addition to the Lineage's treasures, antiques, and rare materials.
The assets currently stored on the spaceship, while not as much as Chen Village's gains in the Jianglan Tribe, are not far off.
Such a large sum of assets was not to be underestimated even by Chen Mu; he would only feel at ease if he personally stayed on the spaceship to guard it.
"Alright! Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Chen Mu."
Chen Mu's decision was exactly what Yin Guang wanted. He was naturally most concerned about his Lineage's assets, and having such a powerful cultivator as Chen Mu stay behind was more reassuring than leaving it to him alone.
Moreover, the ship is equipped with Intelligent Weapon System. With Chen Mu operating the intelligent weapons here, he believes that even a massive army would find it difficult to seize these nine spaceships.
Inside the city lord's mansion after the Yin Lineage's spaceship landed safely.
"Lord City Lord, those Yin Lineage family members are really going too far. Do you think we should teach them a lesson so they won't look down on our Falling Rosy Clouds Legion?"
The Falling Rosy Clouds Army Meng Jian. He had a fiery temper and was extremely strong. Seeing that Yan Beihai had just been humiliated, he couldn't help but speak up and make a suggestion.
At this moment, Chen Mu's spaceship had already landed on the ground. If the Falling Rosy Clouds Army were to launch an attack on them, they would certainly have a very difficult time escaping.
After all, it takes time for a spaceship to take off, and if the spaceship cannot take off, it cannot exert its advantages.
Under these circumstances, apart from those Core Formation Realm cultivators who can fly, it is estimated that no one else will be able to escape from Falling Rosy Clouds City.
"Brother Meng Jian, don't make things worse. Didn't you see the weapons on that spaceship just now?"
If we really fight them, it will inevitably result in mutual destruction, and wouldn't that just benefit those scheming aristocratic families for nothing?"
Yan Beihai shook his head, rejecting Meng Jian's suggestion.
"Lord City Lord, actually, at the moment, it doesn't matter if the Yin Lineage continues to supply us."
After that battle, I doubt those powerful families in the city will dare to attack the Yin Lineage. They'll leave once they've resupplyed, so we won't suffer any losses."
Below, another strategist spoke up.
Yan Beihai nodded upon hearing this. He hadn't really wanted to cause any more trouble, but he hadn't expected the Yin Lineage to be so assertive and powerful, which was why he had lost so much face.
"Hopefully so. Keep a close eye on them, and hopefully they won't cause trouble."
He was able to firmly hold the position of Lord of Falling Rosy Clouds City for more than 300 years. Besides his own strength, his ability to be flexible and adaptable was also his strength. He didn't care about losing face and only hoped that the Yin Lineage would know when to stop.
"Yes! I'll take my leave."
The dozen or so experts from the City Lord's Mansion below responded in succession and withdrew from the City Lord's Mansion.
Wilderness, within the territory of Chen Village.
A Huo led the members of the Demon-Slaying Sword into the Green Plains Mountain Range, where they trained their troops and hunted monsters along the way.
Clang! Ding ding ding!
The members of the Demon-Slaying Sword formed a sword-shaped battle formation and relentlessly charged at a demonic beast.
This demonic beast is called the Earth Dragon Crocodile, the overlord of the Green Plains Mountain Range, and possesses the cultivation of Mid Demon King.
The Earth Dragon Crocodile is enormous, with incredibly strong skin defense and the ability to burrow underground. Generally speaking, even cultivators at the Late Core Formation Realm would find it difficult to kill.
However, under the relentless attacks of the Demon-Slaying Sword members, it is now covered in wounds and probably won't last much longer.
A Huo didn't participate in the battle, but he was controlling a disc-shaped magical artifact not far away.
This disc magic weapon is also a product of the Rune Research Institute. It can solidify the earth's spiritual power on the ground two or three kilometers nearby. In this case, no creature can perform earth escape, so the earth dragon crocodile has been unable to escape through earth escape.
This Earth Dragon Crocodile has recently been frequently leaving the Green Plains Mountain Range to wreak havoc, destroying more than a dozen low- to mid-level tribes in the vicinity.
Since the Demon-Slaying Sword had been practicing its battle formations and had nothing else to do, Chen Hongjie asked A Huo to come over and kill the ferocious monster, thus protecting the safety of the nearby tribes.
In the Wilderness, this is a very important reason why lower and middle-level tribes would seek refuge with higher-level tribes.
If many low- and middle-level tribes encounter monsters they cannot defeat nearby, they will seek help from higher-level tribes. The higher-level tribes will protect their safety, and in return, the tribes will offer Spirit Stone to the higher-level tribes every year. This is a good subordinate relationship.
Some short-sighted superior tribes only know how to exploit the inferior tribes below them. If this vicious cycle continues, the inferior tribes will not be able to survive, and the superior tribes will not prosper. In the end, they will only bring about their own destruction.
As a human who had experienced the new society on Earth, Chen Mu often instilled many advanced social concepts in Chen Hongjie and others. Therefore, they naturally understood this principle and were very open-minded in managing the tribes within their territory, which earned them the unanimous approval of many tribespeople.
Chen Village now thriving, and its development speed is unprecedented among other tribes in the Wilderness. That's why the Eight Great High Tribes of the Wilderness are so hostile to them, because they all feel a strong threat from Chen Village.
Unfortunately, no matter how resentful they are, the wheels of history keep turning forward. If their thinking doesn't progress, even if they possess far more resources than Chen Village, they will only be slowly eliminated and replaced by Chen Village Chen Village.
Clang! Boom...!
As the Demon-Slaying Sword unleashed its final combined attack, the Earth Dragon Crocodile finally collapsed with a loud thud.
"Good! Dispose of the Earth Dragon Crocodile's carcass, then we'll head back."
A Huo nodded, quite satisfied with how quickly the members of the Demon-Slaying Sword had mastered the battle formation.
According to his estimate, in another month or two, the Demon-Slaying Battle Formation would be considered partially completed. As for when it would be fully completed, that would depend on the gradual and persistent effort that would follow.
Although the Demon-Slaying Battle Formation is not comprehensive, it has reached its peak in terms of attack and speed. If used on a suitable battlefield, its combat power will not be inferior to any other battle formation.
The members of the Demon-Slaying Sword worked together and quickly finished processing the corpse of the Earth Dragon Crocodile. Some of the valuable materials were put into their storage rings, and since there wasn't enough room for the rest, each person carried some with them.
The meat of Mid Demon King is a delicacy. Not only is the meat delicious, but the Spiritual Power it contains can enhance one's physique and Spiritual Power cultivation after absorption. Given the opportunity, they would not waste it.
"Alright, let's go back!"
Led by A Huo, the Demon-Slaying Sword reformed into a sword-shaped battle formation and sped towards Chen Village.
They already had enough to carry today, and they couldn't take too many with them, so unless there were any monsters that provoked them, they wouldn't hunt any more monsters along the way.
