Chapter 78

In the picturesque Lingyun Cave, due to the existence of the Fire Kirin, it had become a forbidden area, thus rarely visited by people. Li She closed his eyes, and the yin energy within him spread out toward the Lingyun Cave. He sensed the life force of all living beings within a few miles, even S-class psychics were just green dots, but Li She, with his eyes closed, felt a large golden light sphere in the direction of the Lingyun Cave. The dense vitality was something Li She had never seen before. Moreover, this golden light sphere gave Li She a vague sense of danger. Needless to say, this must be the divine beast, the Kirin, from the "Feng Yun" world.

"Roar..." A deafening roar shook the earth, a majestic and domineering aura spread throughout the land. Li She, Wang Yuyan, and the other two were stunned. The overwhelming and fierce aura was shocking, and all the birds and beasts nearby were frightened, screeching and fleeing.

Li She quickly retracted his aura, beads of cold sweat slowly sliding down his face. Wang Yuyan and the other two also felt the terrifying aura of the Fire Kirin.

"Husband, the Fire Kirin is terrifying just by its aura," Wang Yuyan said softly.

Li She nodded solemnly, "It seems we underestimated the Fire Kirin." Li She said.

"I thought the Fire Kirin lacked intelligence, but it turns out that just by its divine beast instincts, it has such a formidable presence," Li Yunluo agreed.

"I just released some yin energy to explore, but it unexpectedly provoked the Fire Kirin's counterattack. It seems even if we three join forces, we might not be able to handle this Fire Kirin," Li She said, looking into the distance.

"Yes, this Fire Kirin runs through most of the plot and is protected by the world's will. It won't be easy to obtain its blood. We should plan carefully in the future!" Li Yunluo said.

The Fire Kirin, sensing Li She's yin energy, naturally roared. How could it tolerate someone daring to intrude on its territory without a lesson? It wouldn't be worthy of its divine beast status otherwise.

Li She and the other two quickly turned and left the forest near the Lingyun Cave.

All three were now 'Drought Fiends,' and their speed was unmatched even by innate experts. They ran at full speed, and in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they had covered more than ten miles.

Gradually, they saw signs of human habitation. In the "Feng Yun" world, Ma Rongcheng's pen depicted a vast world. People dressed in various styles, from long robes to ancient costumes, were everywhere. Li She and the other two naturally drew attention, especially since Wang Yuyan and her mother, after becoming 'Drought Fiends,' had a beauty and aura that transcended mere prettiness. The holy and distant aura from their very bones made people dare not approach.

What is a 'Drought Fiend'? As Jiang Chen said, they have noble bloodlines; the daughter of the Yellow Emperor was the first Drought Fiend. Is the bloodline of the descendants of the Human Emperor not noble enough?

Li She, using his skillful hands, obtained a considerable amount of wealth and settled down in a town not far from the Lingyun Cave.

He bought a small estate and hired some maids and servants. A manor named 'Mandala Manor' stood tall in the town. Li Yunluo once again took on the role of the lady of Mandala Manor, but this time, the manor was planted with roses instead of tea flowers. Her love for tea flowers was a lingering memory of Duan Zhengchun, but after following Li She, love became her everything, so she planted red roses throughout the manor.

As for why it was still called 'Mandala Manor,' it was to commemorate her life in "Tianlong Babu."

After Li She and the other two settled in the town, they obtained a lot of gold and silver through Li She's acrobatic skills. With this wealth, they quickly developed. Li Yunluo's business acumen was evident again. After buying a street, various shops opened one after another. Li She, once again, relied on highly distilled liquor to open up the market. The name 'Immortal Drunkenness' became popular in the "Feng Yun" world.

In any era where martial arts are prevalent, the love for strong liquor among martial heroes never changes. Under Li Yunluo's management, 'Immortal Drunkenness' began to sweep through Central China and even reached Japan.

The "Feng Yun" world is full of experts. Under Ma Rongcheng's pen, a unique world was formed. The major experts in this world are like feudal lords, controlling the life and death of the people under their command. The martial arts supreme is revered by all of Central China, as they have guarded the dragon veins for generations. Although their martial arts may not be the strongest, they have the responsibility of protecting the dragon veins of China, thus enjoying the honor of being the supreme ruler.

In Li She's view, this martial arts supreme is like the Son of Heaven, the nominal ruler of the world, but in reality, power is divided among various sects.

Currently, Xiong Ba has not yet established the Tianxia Hui, and the Wushuang City is just beginning to rise due to the Sword Saint's reputation. The entire Central China martial arts world is controlled by the Five Sects and Seven Schools, with some small sects scattered throughout. Di Shitian is deeply hidden, and the progress of the "Feng Yun" world can be said to be the growth history of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun. The Tianxia Hui has not yet been established, and Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun have not yet been born. To gain more destiny and plot more, more time is needed. But for the immortal 'Drought Fiends,' what is time?

The Five Sects are: Tiansha Sect, Guidao Sect, Shengun Sect, Wudu Sect, and Juling Sect.

The Seven Schools are: Huashan School, Kongtong School, Emei School, Wudang School, Shaolin School, Qingcheng School, and Kunlun School.

Due to the sales of 'Immortal Drunkenness,' branches were quickly opened in the territories controlled by various sects. For a time, the name 'Mandala Manor' gradually became prominent.

The Five Sects and Seven Schools each controlled all the businesses under their command, like twelve feudal lords, constantly warring with each other. Where there are people, there is profit, and where there is profit, there is conflict—this is the martial arts world.

Inns, brothels, and money shops are major tax contributors in any territory controlled by a sect. Following the business model from "Tianlong Babu," Li She's intelligence network slowly took shape.

As for subordinates, it was even easier to solve. Don't forget that Li She and the other two are 'Drought Fiends,' and this world is full of martial arts experts. Grabbing any one of them and biting them once can turn them into a 'zombie.' Drought Fiends have 100% control over zombies and don't have to worry about betrayal.

The "Feng Yun" world is full of peak experts, a world where first-class experts are as common as dogs. Xiong Ba, the Sword Saint, and Wu Ming have touched the realm of breaking through the void, and the leaders of the Five Sects and Seven Schools are all at the innate realm.

More strangely, there are many destiny treasures. Anyone who possesses these destiny treasures has their combat power greatly increased.

The Snow-Drinking Mad Saber, Fire Kirin Sword, Supreme Sword, Hero Sword, and Unparalleled Sword have created many characters who vie for the world. The Blood Bodhi, which can double one's power, and the dragon veins are all considered destiny treasures.

With the popularity of 'Immortal Drunkenness,' Li She obtained a large amount of gold and silver. The originally small town was gradually controlled by Li She, and the Mandala Manor's business grew larger. The once remote town gradually became prosperous. Flower-lined paths, green trees, artificial hills, and pavilions were everywhere. The pond was filled with lush lotuses, and schools of goldfish could be seen swimming in the water.

Inside the pavilion, the light gauze curtains were decorated elegantly. Li Yunluo, dressed in a high palace gown, sat at a table, flipping through the account books, the abacus clicking loudly.

Li She, with his legs crossed, lay on a reclining chair, taking a nap. Wang Yuyan was organizing intelligence from the various branches.

The three had been in the "Feng Yun" world for a year. With steady development and Li She's occasional acrobatic skills, the businesses of inns, brothels, and money shops quickly spread throughout the south and north. After deducting the tribute to the twelve sects, the monthly income was over a million taels of silver.

"Li Lang, this month's income is down by a third. In the past few months, those bandits have robbed us of three batches of silver," Li Yunluo said, frowning.

Wang Yuyan added, "Husband, according to the information from our employees, these incidents were all done by the Twelve Demons of Tianchi."

Li She opened his eyes and smiled, "Yes, it's time to develop our subordinates. The Twelve Demons of Tianchi? A good choice."

"Oh? Can you subdue them, Husband?" Wang Yuyan asked.

"Yes, these twelve people have all reached the innate realm, and their martial arts are not weak. They are all ruthless and cruel. Subduing them? Too troublesome. Just a bite will do," Li She said, showing his fangs and smiling.

Li Yunluo rolled her eyes and spat, "Don't scare people. Dead man!"

"Any news on Xiong Ba?" Li She asked.

"Xiong Ba has not yet appeared in the martial arts world, but Wushuang City is gradually rising. Wu Ming has retired, and now the only peak expert in the martial arts world is the Sword Saint. Therefore, Wushuang City is developing rapidly," Li Yunluo said.

Li She nodded after hearing this. Wu Ming, the martial arts legend, became disheartened after his wife was killed and retired from the martial arts world. Who else could match Wu Ming except the Sword Saint? So, Wushuang City, relying on the Sword Saint's reputation, naturally developed quickly.

"What about Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng? And the martial arts supreme?" Li She asked.

"Bu Jingyun has been born, and Huo Family Manor is a small clan in Jiangnan. Nie Feng is living in seclusion in Jiangnan with Nie Renwang and the first beauty of the martial arts world, Yan Ying," Wang Yuyan said.

After hearing Wang Yuyan's report, Li She said, "Yes, there is still some time before Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, the main characters of destiny, appear. Let's subdue the Twelve Demons of Tianchi first."

Li She rode a fast horse toward his money shop.
