Chen Mu Muyuan thought that Gao Fenghai would feel troubled, and might even rise up in resistance.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fenghai immediately knelt down and shouted, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir. I am willing to join your ranks and serve you wholeheartedly."
Chen Mu had no idea that the Netherworld Wasteland was extremely barren. Impoverished villages like Iron Soul Village were beneath the notice of even bandits, and no force was interested in them.
Gao Fenghai wasn't originally an ambitious person; he only became the leader of the village because of his talent for cultivation and his intelligence.
In the eyes of most villagers in Iron Soul Village, Gao Fenghai was lazy and lecherous, and was not a good leader at all.
But for him, it was not something he wanted to be the leader; he only took on this responsibility because he was born and raised in this place.
Although surprised, Chen Mu didn't show it. He simply nodded approvingly and said, "Very good! Then gather the village's leaders and hold a meeting in half an hour to announce this."
"Yes! I'll take care of it right away."
Gao Fenghai bowed and then prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Only then did Chen Mu notice that among the people Gao Fenghai was a middle-aged Human Clan man.
He remembered that Li Wei had been following behind this middle-aged man the whole time, so he guessed that the man and Li Wei had a close relationship.
"Excuse me, do you have a daughter?"
Based on their age and level of intimacy, Chen Mu made this guess.
"Yes, sir!"
The middle-aged man responded somewhat awkwardly.
His name is Li Taiping. He is the most powerful Human Clan in Iron Soul Village, and he usually manages the Human Clan of Iron Soul Village.
Li Wei has been independent since childhood, and even Li Taiping can't control her, so he just hopes that Li Wei hasn't caused trouble and offended this mysterious adult.
"Have her come over here; I need to talk to her."
"Yes!"
Seeing Chen Mu's kind tone, Li Taiping immediately relaxed a lot, as it didn't seem like he was going to cause trouble for Li Wei.
Less than half an incense stick's time later, Li Wei came looking for her.
When Chen Mu used lightning to repel the Undead Tide, she had already seen Mingye next to Chen Mu, so when she heard that Chen Mu was looking for her, she immediately rushed over.
"This humble woman Li Wei, greets Your Excellencies!"
"Come on! Take me to the place where your village usually holds meetings; we want to talk to you."
Li Wei led Chen Mu and Mingye into a spacious stone house, where there were two rows of well-made stools and chairs.
" Li Wei, let me introduce myself first!"
My name is Chen Mu, and this is my junior sister, Mingye. We belong to a reclusive sect that hasn't appeared in the world for tens of thousands of years, so we don't know much about the outside world.
Chen Mu calmly explained, and then began to inquire about the surrounding area from her.
"So we'd like to ask you which faction this area belongs to, and what other factions are around here?"
Li Wei was initially very nervous, wondering what Chen Mu and Mingye wanted to say to her, but after hearing this question, she immediately relaxed.
"All I know is that our village is within the Sinai Ridge, and the nearest royal city to us is Nine Yama City."
"Is it far from here to Nine Yama City?"
"It's far! It's over 200 kilometers away. Our village chief usually only goes there once a year."
As the daughter of the number one Human Clan expert in Iron Soul Village, Li Wei has a wide range of knowledge and knows a lot about the outside world.
" Li Wei, have you ever heard of the Nether Imperial Court?"
Suddenly, Mingye spoke up and asked.
The Nether Imperial Court was the most powerful force ruling the Netherworld ten thousand years ago. The entire Netherworld was under its control, and the ruler of the Netherworld was the Emperor of the Nether Imperial Court, the Netherworld Emperor.
Now, ten thousand years have passed, and Chen Mu and Mingye have both realized that the Netherworld must have undergone tremendous changes, and the Underworld Emperor who controlled the Netherworld has most likely perished.
After all, under normal circumstances, the Netherworld would not reject people from the Pan Emperor Continent unless a major upheaval occurred in the Netherworld, and the Heavenly Dao would react in this way to protect itself.
" The Nether Imperial Court?"
Li Wei was clearly stumped by Mingye's question, and shook her head somewhat blankly.
I've never heard of that name before.
I've only ever heard that there are three great Imperial Court in this world.
As for which three Imperial Court, you can ask my father; I can't quite remember."
Li Wei lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
"Hehe, it's alright, you've already helped us a lot."
Chen Mu shook his head, not paying any attention.
After all, the Imperial Court was far too far away for a small village like Iron Soul Village, so it was normal for Li Wei not to remember it.
Just then, Gao Fenghai led a group of people in one after another.
Chen Mu knew that these people were the high-ranking officials of Iron Soul Village, so he stopped talking to Li Wei, glanced around at the people around him, and officially began to take over the rule of Iron Soul Village.
Three days later, at Li Taiping's home in Iron Soul Village.
After learning more, Chen Mu discovered that Li Taiping was not only the top Human Clan expert in Iron Soul Village, but also the best blacksmith in the Iron Soul Village.
In the Netherworld, the Nether Clan is a uniquely privileged race. Because the concentration of Death Spiritual Power here far exceeds that of other Spiritual Power, even if they don't cultivate much, their strength will increase much faster than that of the Human Clan.
Therefore, the Human Clan has always been in a weak position, but their tenacious vitality has allowed them to reproduce and even gain recognition from the Nether Clan race.
The Human Clan can gain the recognition of the Nether Clan is not only because they are hardworking and resilient, but also because they are more creative and often bring a lot of help to the Nether Clan.
In the Netherworld, most blacksmiths, apothecaries, and array masters are Human Clan. Although their individual combat strength is far inferior to that of the Nether Clan, they are still one of the most powerful races in this world.
Ding... Ding ding!
Beside the forge, Chen Mu was carefully forging a piece of iron. His hammering movements were very skillful, and if someone didn't know him, they would really think he was a blacksmith.
"Lord Chen Mu, the iron ore you requested has been delivered to the door. Please take a look."
At this moment, Gao Fenghai walked in from outside and bowed respectfully to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu did not answer Gao Fenghai, but continued to forge the iron sheet with a clanging sound. After half an incense stick's time, he took the iron sheet out after quenching it in water. Seeing the exquisite structural patterns on it, he finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Finally finished working on all these parts, I'm exhausted."
He now misses the disciples at the Rune Research Institute terribly, especially those in the Artifact Refining Department. If they were here, he wouldn't need to make these parts himself.
All you need to do is give them the design drawings, and they will craft the parts to perfection.
