"Another breakthrough!"
*Ren Changsheng sighed to himself*; everyone else was eager to break through, but he, on the other hand, wished he could slow down a bit.
"Spare us, sir, spare us!"
In front of Ren Changsheng, two remaining Golden Core cultivators of the Lin family hurriedly knelt and begged for mercy. Just like that, their Lin family patriarch was killed by a single sword strike from Ren Changsheng? *How could they not be afraid!*
"Don't worry. I, Ren Changsheng, am a good person and won't kill recklessly!"
Ren Changsheng helped the two get up directly, but in his heart, he felt a tinge of frustration. *Damn it,* if not for the terrifying feedback of experience, these two would have been chopped down by him long ago!
"Thank you...sir!"
The two looked at Ren Changsheng in disbelief, and the other Golden Core cultivators were also stunned. Would Ren Changsheng really spare these two Golden Core cultivators?
"I really am a good person!"
Ren Changsheng said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, sir is a good person, no doubt, sir is indeed a good person!"
"Sir Ren is truly a great person!"
The two Golden Core cultivators looked at Ren Changsheng gratefully, and upon hearing their words, everyone present couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
A great person?
The scene of Ren Changsheng stabbing the Lin family patriarch to death with one sword earlier was still fresh in their minds!
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I, Ren Changsheng, have prepared a grand feast with the hope that everyone can come and enjoy. Although there were some minor hiccups, they don't affect us. Please, come in!"
Ren Changsheng said to the crowd with a smile.
"Master Ren is right, we shall go in!"
"Master Ren is truly a great person!"
...
Laughter echoed around, and in a moment, the crowd made their way into the Ren Family Fortress, including the two Lin family Golden Core cultivators, who entered while nodding enthusiastically.
Two corpses were left on the ground.
In the void.
"Your Highness, the Holy Maiden, is this Ren Changsheng truly a Nascent Soul cultivator? Could he have been possessed? Keep in mind, you possess a Ninth Grade Spirit Root and are only at the Nascent Soul Realm; how could he possibly..."
"Enough!"
A cold voice from Dan Taixian cut through the air.
In the person's eyes.
Sparks of light flickered.
Ren Changsheng, a Nascent Soul monster? How could that guy, Nanling County's top waste, be a Nascent Soul monster? Even she was only at the ninth level of Nascent Soul!
And the Ren Changsheng before her now seemed different from the Ren Changsheng she had met before.
"Enter!"
A deep voice resonated as Dan Taixian descended from the void.
"Please, Your Highness the Holy Maiden!"
A few people surrounded Dan Taixian, heading towards the Ren Family Fortress, where a group of people had already entered.
Only Ren Changsheng remained, smiling as he looked at Dan Taixian and others.
"Fairy, your timing is impeccable. You just promised earlier to cover the Spirit Stones for the Lin family's four members. Including your ten, no, with this big bird, you're eleven in total, making fifteen altogether. That's five hundred Spirit Stones each, totaling seven thousand five hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones!"
Ren Changsheng said with a friendly face.
"Seven thousand five?"
Dan Taixian raised an eyebrow. Seven thousand five hundred Spirit Stones wasn't much to him, but Ren Changsheng's smiling face made her feel a surge of anger.
Anyway, she thought.
She was a genius of the Heavenly Moon Immortal Ground, one of the three Heavenly Fairies. People from Heavenly Moon Immortal Ground pursued her in droves, yet Ren Changsheng dared to act like a few low-grade Spirit Stones were more enticing.
"How dare you, our Holy Maiden's status is such that you think you can charge her for Spirit Stones! The county under the management of Heavenly Moon Immortal Ground has always offered Spirit Stones to us; how audacious of you!"
A woman stepped forward, shouting angrily.
"So, you're saying you won't pay?"
Ren Changsheng's smile vanished instantly. Not paying? Then what were you doing pretending to be a big spender just now!
"If you don't have the Spirit Stones, then leave. I'm saying it now, even if your masters from Heavenly Moon Immortal Ground show up, no Spirit Stones, no entry!"
Ren Changsheng said with a face full of indifference.
"You..."
The woman's eyes flashed coldly.
"Buzzing!"
A vast pressure emanated from the woman, a presence that surpassed even the rumored Nascent Soul monsters.
"An Astral Projection cultivator!"
A glint flashed in Ren Changsheng's eyes.
Astral Projection Realm?
Of the nine people brought along, aside from Dan Taixian, they were all Astral Projection cultivators?
"Give it to him!"
But at this moment, Dan Taixian's indifferent voice sounded.
"Your Highness the Holy Maiden!"
The woman's eyes were filled with reluctance. Nanling County was nothing more than a small place; even if Ren Changsheng was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was nothing but an ant in front of Heavenly Moon Immortal Ground.
"Give it to him!"
Underneath the veil, Dan Taixian slightly raised an eyebrow.
"Yes!"
The woman quickly complied.
A moment later.
A flicker of light glimmered in the woman's hand, and she handed a space ring to Ren Changsheng.
"Inside this space ring are seven thousand five hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones. Take it. Remember, kid, even if you're a Nascent Soul cultivator, our Holy Maiden's status is beyond your reach!"
The woman said coldly, looking at Ren Changsheng.
"Status beyond reach?"
"Oh!"
Ren Changsheng smirked.
Beyond reach? *He was curious to see just how prestigious this Holy Maiden's status truly was!*
"Please, go ahead!"
With a smile returning to his face, Ren Changsheng allowed them to enter.
Ren Family Fortress.
Currently bustling, Ren Changsheng sat at the main seat.
Below him sat Dan Taixian and Ouyang Zi, followed by a group of Golden Core cultivators.
As for the other disciples of the Ren Family Fortress, Ren Changsheng had dismissed them directly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to have you come today, which truly shows your esteem for the Ren Family Fortress. Today, everyone should drink as they please, and do not hold back!"
Ren Changsheng's cheerful voice rang out.
"Yes, indeed, many thanks to Master Ren for the hospitality!"
"Thank you, Master Ren!"
...
A group of people quickly responded with smiles, but in their hearts, they cursed silently. The table only had a few appetizers, and there was just one pot of wine. How were they supposed to drink freely with that!
"Master Ren is indeed a prodigy, becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator at such a young age makes us elders feel ashamed. I wonder if Master Ren has any interest in Nanling County?"
At this moment, a soft chuckle was heard.
The one speaking was Ouyang Zi.
"Nanling County!"
The hall instantly fell silent. Nanling County had three major families, each with Nascent Soul cultivators, maintaining a peaceful balance. But now with Ren Changsheng's presence, the balance could be disrupted.
"Well!"
Ren Changsheng glanced at Ouyang Zi with interest. This Ouyang Zi probably came to gather information; if Ren Changsheng planned to move into Nanling County, it wouldn't be good news for the three major families.
"Nanling County is just a small place. I'm not particularly interested, but..."
"Not interested!"
Ouyang Zi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ren Changsheng didn't enter Nanling County, everything would be manageable.
"If Master Ren has any requests, just let me know!"
Looking at Ren Changsheng, Ouyang Zi said with a smiling face.
"Brother Ouyang is truly a good person. Since that's the case, I won't hold back. The territory of the Ren Family Fortress is really too small, and we have such a large population. Everyone knows that with many people and little land, even drinking porridge is a luxury!"
"I don't have many other requests, so how about this: the garden behind Ren Family Fortress needs a change. From now on, let Nanling County serve as the backyard for Ren Family Fortress!"
Ren Changsheng said with a grin.
"What? The backyard!"
The hall instantly fell silent.
Chang Sheng wasn't uninterested; he wanted to take over the entire Nanling County.
