Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 161 annexing the Blood Cicada Cave, anyone has objections? A two-way journey

puff.

The headless corpse fell to the ground.

This caused the still-living elder, Ma Ze, to collapse to his knees, his face turning deathly pale, and he repeatedly kowtowed:

"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!"

Behind him were six disciples, who were also kneeling on the ground.

They were all disciples who had witnessed Zhu Xiuniang being beaten by Ma Ze. They had previously pretended to be ignorant, but now they were all trembling like leaves, not daring to breathe loudly.

No one expected that the Ancient Xia Palace would actually have a Saint-level Ancestor!

Moreover, upon their arrival, they left no room for maneuver, instantly killing their cave lord and a host of elders.

"We will continue until Elder Zhu is satisfied with the draw."

To Ma Ze and the others, his indifferent words were like a royal decree.

No one dared to hesitate; they all fiercely slapped themselves in the face repeatedly.

clap clap clap! ! !

The crisp crackling sound echoed throughout the hall.

Outside the main hall, the Blood Cicada Cave cultivators who had rushed over saw that they had all turned into pig heads and stood silently outside the door, not daring to say anything.

This is a saint!!

A powerful figure that an ordinary cultivator would never see in their entire life.

If they were to vent their anger on this great deity, they would die peacefully on the ground, just like the cave lord!

Only after Shen Yun turned around did Fifth Yi Rong, Zhu Xiuniang, and the others excitedly bow in greeting:

"Greetings, Ancestor!!!"

The sound was deafening, even drowning out the sound of slapping inside the hall.

Because the Ancient Xia Palace has never felt so proud and triumphant as it does today!

The ancient Xia Palace, which bears the title of 'once a sacred place', has had a long and bumpy road.

Some people covet their heritage.

Some people fear their resurgence and have resorted to countless overt and covert tactics.

If it weren't for the fact that Guxia Palace still has some connections and doesn't actually have a holy-level inheritance, it wouldn't have been able to exist until now.

But now, with Ancestor Shen Yun in charge, they no longer need to be anxious.

[Ding! All members of the Ancient Xia Palace present hold the player in high esteem; their loyalty level has increased to 100 points!]

[Friendly Reminder: Non-bound characters cannot receive feedback items. Players can have their faction assist in the virtual character growth.]

'Assisting in the growth of the character in the cloud?' Shen Yun felt that only Tu Miaoling was barely needed.

The other two are practically being turned into little monsters by him.

As for the fact that the power couldn't provide feedback on items, he didn't care. The Ancient Cloud Palace wasn't powerful enough; even if it could provide feedback, it wouldn't be able to collect high-quality treasures.

Even if they eventually secure their status as a holy land, he will probably have already ascended to immortality by then.

Currently, the greatest use of this power for him is to replenish his spending points and increase his spending limit.

"Elder Zhu, can this ease your grievances?" Shen Yun looked at Zhu Xiuniang.

Zhu Xiuniang nodded repeatedly, her voice full of gratitude:

"Thank you for your trouble, Ancestor. The embroiderer is fine!"

There's no more feeling of injustice here, it's just so satisfying!

[Ding! Elder Zhu Xiuniang's inner conflict has been resolved, her Dao heart is stable, and the sect's fortune will not decline.]

"That's good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven people kneeling on the ground, including Ma Ze, felt an overwhelming pressure from all around them, as if mountains were collapsing.

puff! !

The seven men didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy before they were all blown into a bloody mist and disappeared.

After doing all this, Shen Yun turned to look at the Blood Cicada Cave cultivator trembling at the door:

"From this day forward, the Blood Cicada Cave will be incorporated into the Ancient Cloud Palace. Does anyone have any objections?"

At this point, who would dare to object?

"We will obey the orders of our predecessors," the crowd at the door responded fearfully.

Shen Yun ignored the group and instructed Fifth Yirong:

"Anyone who dares to outwardly comply but inwardly defy me will be written down on a list. The same applies if there is any interference from external forces; I will personally handle it."

"Yes!" Fifth Yi Rong bowed respectfully.

Only after Shen Yun disappeared from the hall did she sigh to herself:

'The ancestor's methods are truly ruthless...'

They immediately took over the Blood Cicada Cave with their opening remarks.

This also made her realize the patriarch's domineering nature: 'It seems that in the future, the way my Ancient Cloud Palace operates will need to be adjusted appropriately.'

Within a day, the news that a sage was presiding over the Ancient Xia Palace would spread.

If we continue to be as cautious as before, we will be disgracing our ancestors!

'I'm so glad the Ancestor showed up...' Composing herself, Fifth Yirong walked out of the main hall and began to comfort the anxious Blood Cicada Cave cultivators...

……

"Brother Yun, is something urgent?" As soon as Shen Yun appeared, Bai Xian'er jumped into his arms with a concerned look in her eyes.

"You looked really unwell just now."

"It's alright, don't worry." Seeing her curiosity, Shen Yun smiled and patted her head.

"I just went to deal with some small, unwanted fish."

"Okay~" Bai Xian'er was relieved after confirming that he was alright, and found a comfortable spot to lie down.

'Look what Hongxi is doing...' Shen Yun switched to Luo Hongxi's screen.

On the chibi map, the girl has just left the Luo family and is sitting in a pink flying boat, heading straight for the Tianxing Escort Agency in Shanhuo City of the Tianluo Dynasty.

There shouldn't be any opportunity to spend money on this trip; it's purely for Luo Hongxi to meet her friends from her previous life.

Seeing three pills in her pocket, Shen Yun opened them and immediately smiled:

'A seventh-tier alchemist! Not bad!'

This girl is really amazing; two of her feedback pills have reached the seventh rank!

Moreover, these two are top-grade pills. One is a breakthrough pill used by cultivators of the Dharma Aspect stage to break through to the next realm, and the other is a Flying Heaven Pill containing a huge amount of spiritual energy. As for sixth-grade pills, they are for replenishing qi and blood.

Shen Yun did not disturb her as she practiced her sword on the flying boat.

He had just finished collecting the pills and was about to switch roles when he suddenly looked at Bai Xian'er, who was lying on his lap, and took out the Transmigration Token:

"Xian'er, didn't you say you could use the Transmigration Token? How about we go and have some fun on the Xuan Tian Continent?"

It is said that this girl spends most of her time cultivating and accompanying him, and rarely goes out.

Going to the world of cultivation can broaden one's horizons and alleviate some of the boredom of a lower-level immortal.

Bai Xian'er was a little stunned, but quickly pushed the token away:

"Xian'er just wants to stay with her master and doesn't want to go anywhere else."

After saying that, she affectionately nuzzled Shen Yun's hand with her head:

"Master, don't worry about Xian'er, I'm not bored~"

To be honest, Bai Xian'er was very curious about Shen Yun's role as a cloud-raised child.

But everyone has their own secrets, just like her brother Yun.

Like a beast-taming space!

A quick online search will tell you that Shen Yun is the only person in the world with such a large amount of storage space!

However, Bai Xian'er never asked about this matter; she knew what she should and shouldn't say.

It wouldn't be good if you entered the game and learned things you shouldn't have known in the character's chat room.

Bai Xian'er didn't want her curiosity to cause Shen Yun any resentment.

Even if she is absolutely loyal and her loyalty never wavers, she would never betray Shen Yun.

Even though Shen Yun trusted her completely and didn't mind her getting involved with Yun Yang's role, a clever fox needs to know how to avoid risks.

Even if the risk doesn't exist.

Bai Xian'er knew that Shen Yun had only given her the time-travel token because he was afraid she would be bored, and he was even prepared to expose Yun Yang's character. This extreme trust moved her deeply.

However, Bai Xian'er would also be understanding of Shen Yun.

This is what a two-way relationship should be, rather than one where the other person is the only one making sacrifices.

"Hmm?" Shen Yun chuckled and scratched her belly.

"I saw you seemed quite interested in time travel when you were talking about it before?"

'I was about to be bullied, I was just changing the subject...' Bai Xian'er was too embarrassed to bring up what happened before, and smiled as she nudged Shen Yun's hand with her little paws:

"No, Xian'er was just surprised! Hehe, Brother Yun, stop scratching, it tickles~"

"Alright, just let me know if you want to play." Shen Yun put away the token, found a comfortable spot to lie down, and continued playing the game.

'Hmph, I'm so considerate, I'm sure I'll leave a deep impression on Brother Yun!' Bai Xian'er, with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, squinted her eyes and thoroughly enjoyed Shen Yun's caress.

It's said that the opposite-sex characters you raise online are your soulmates.

But she believes that ultimate sincerity and long-term companionship are the ultimate weapons of the strongest combination!

She was determined to be the most suitable partner for Brother Yun in his life.

Whether it's the soul or the body.

As for that "cloud-raised" character, we'll see him someday, no rush.
