Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1450: Chapter 1047: The Rules Must Not Be Broken (2)

Shi Hu hurriedly stepped forward and took out his Communication Stone, "I’m using this thing now too. It’s quite fun and convenient. We have plenty of time to chat during these long nights!"

Both parties added each other as friends. Jun Yan saluted again to take his leave and then hurriedly disappeared without a trace.

The ice-blue vortex Teleportation Gate opened by Yan Xuan still stood quietly in place.

From teleporting here, to the two Demon Beasts being destroyed by Ling Di, to meeting Jun Yan and having a conversation, the entire process did not exceed three minutes.

"Shi Hu, from now on, you absolutely cannot be lazy. You must seize the time to train!" Jiang Yuan sternly pointed at its big forehead and said, "I will check on you randomly. If I find out you are slacking off, for the sake of your Ascension plan, for the safety of the Wilderness World, I don’t mind using some extreme measures."

Its whole body trembled, it perked up its ears, and then crouched down, Shi Hu nodded pitifully, "Master, I won’t dare anymore. That, uh, when you finish with that bull and make something delicious, could I go home and have a hot meal? I can already smell it, the bull’s meat is super great! The key is that its Realm is high, and..."

Greedily speaking halfway, realizing it was still being reprimanded, Shi Hu quickly shut its mouth and lay at its master’s feet to show submission.

After giving the stick, one needs a sweet date. Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "As long as you train diligently without laziness, once I make a delicious dish out of that wild bull, I’ll call you home for a meal."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you so much, Master!" Shi Hu immediately promised as soon as he heard there was something delicious, and then darted back to the Extreme West Secret Realm to begin the hard and arduous training under his master’s stern gaze.

Jiang Bai didn’t speak the whole time; she had already been stunned and numbed by wave after wave of shock.

What she thought was an ordinary little puppy, actually inherited the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog’s succession! Just from the simple methods used earlier to deal with the two Great Demon Beasts, one could glimpse that it possessed Divine Power not achievable by ordinary cultivation in this mundane world;

And the big tiger burying its head and acting coquettishly towards Mr. Jiang turned out to be one of the future Four Symbols Divine Beasts, the White Tiger!

Shocking though it was, it was reasonable, since Mr. Jiang had previously had a pet that Ascended to Black Tortoise. One of the Four Symbols, the White Tiger, being his Spirit Pet, made sense.

She looked timidly at the awe-inspiring future Divine Dog, currently still in the form of a little puppy, acting cute by rolling around and whining for grilled steaks with Mr. Jiang.

Taking a deep breath, she boldly asked as she returned to the little courtyard, "About what you mentioned earlier about being a guest, I’m very willing, but I don’t know how to join?"

"Sincerity brings results," Jiang Yuan chuckled, "If Lord Jiang sincerely wants to become my guest, we can form a contract immediately."

So simple and straightforward? No ceremony or anything?

She wondered but still obediently thought it over.

As expected, an application prompt popped up in Jiang Yuan’s view, and upon processing the contract, a light ring flew to Jiang Bai, thus establishing the guest contract!

"Hiss!" As a Lord, Jiang Bai could more clearly sense the constraining power of the Heavenly Dao, only then realizing that what seemed simple on the surface actually involved Heavenly Dao’s support for contracting guests!

As expected of the Lord of Divine Beasts, an Immortal come to correct chaos, a slight movement of his fingers could completely overwhelm. It makes one yearn for Ascension even more.

"Mr. Du, please forgive my lateness, Mr. Jiang and Lord Jiang." Before long, Du Li hurried back, apologizing as soon as he met them, "Upon receiving Mr. Jiang’s message, we originally intended to teleport back directly.

Unexpectedly, we encountered a few Demon Cultivators committing murder and robbery!

Their Realms were average, but they had remarkable means with Magical Treasures for assistance. The two of us chased them for a while before cornering the villains. Brother Lan could handle them and stayed to clean up the mess; I’ve returned to discuss the use of the Teleportation Array with Lord Jiang. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Jiang Bai waved him off, "No harm, no harm, Daoist Du returned just in time."

She thought to herself, it was fortunate for the delay, otherwise, if she had met Daoist Du earlier, she might not have even secured being a guest.

Jiang Yuan then asked, "Does Daoist Lan need reinforcements? What sort of villains would dare commit crimes in front of you?"

"He can manage, funny enough," Du Li took a seat by invitation, drinking a cup of tea with a sigh, "Originally, we were just making rounds near cities where the Arrays hadn’t been dismantled. It turns out, with the Teleportation Array gone, a large number of Demon Cultivators flooded into other cities, causing constant disputes over resources between local and outsider gangs.

Some opportunists took advantage of the chaos, attacking weaker Demon Cultivators specifically, basically evil cultivator behavior!

Few are willing to teleport to the Otherworld.

Some stubborn ones declared they’d rather die in the Wilderness than leave. Especially those Major Sects and Noble Families, clinging to the idea that they can only Ascend where they were born, unwilling to leave as it means cutting off Ascension hope.

After a pause, he added, "Even though those old guys never had a chance to Ascend, practicing for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and not even as strong as my Iron-Headed Lion now, who’s talking about Ascending? At most, it’s just a thought.

The migration of Demon Cultivators is far less simple than that of Demon Beasts. Each one of them has at least eight hundred cunning tricks, counting abacuses aloud, when you reason, they debate; you might have to use force in the future."

Jiang Bai laughed, "Those old ones show off, different from Demon Beasts; the higher the Realm of a Demon Cultivator, the more they sense the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, demanding more stringent self-control, cautious of excessive killing and severe sins.

Thus, they think acting resistant and uninfluenced works. Lower Realm folks can’t handle them; higher Realm ones dare not randomly kill. If it were any ordinary cultivator, they’d be stuck."

Saying this, she cast a reverent gaze toward Jiang Yuan, "But this tactic is useless against Mr. Jiang. Without harming them, without needing any consent, he could send them to the New World directly. As for what can’t be taken, that’s simply their bad luck."

He acknowledged with a nod, laughing, "The premise is: those unwilling to leave old stubborn ones qualify to go to the New World. If they have wronged as the earlier two Demon Beasts, unwillingness won’t exempt them.

During the early migration plan, I have neither the time nor energy to individually inspect the departing Demon Cultivators; atrocious criminals leaving means it’s not yet their time. By the later stage, when I’m personally handling matters, then they won’t have a choice."

Jiang Yuan genuinely hoped that the heinous Demon Cultivators wouldn’t leave.

When doing thorough inspections, with Yan Xuan and Ling Di assisting, that would surely be easy-to-get lifespans and manpower!

Jiang Bai and Du Li quickly came to an agreement regarding the use of the Otherworld Teleportation Array.

After claiming a private courtyard at the Aerial Pavilion, she politely declined the invitation to stay for a small gathering, reluctantly leaving the small yard to return to the Lord’s Mansion, addressing the resources trade that the anxious Mountain Masters most valued.

"Lord, here is a visiting card from the City Lord of Wanbao City, Kang Muzi, and a petition letter." Having just dismissed a few Mountain Masters, a subordinate presented a visiting card from a Demon Cultivator, whispering, "Since the establishment of the Demon Realm Alliance, they insisted on departing from the Lord’s jurisdiction.

Those Demon Cultivators are arrogant, thinking they’re superior to Demon Beasts. Many even forgot their roots, not acknowledging their blood kin Demon Beast groups. Once they assume human form, they act as if they’ve truly attained the Dao, becoming arrogant and wild.

Now with the fall of the Demon Realm Alliance, he’s currying favor by eagerly offering a visit card, seeking the Lord’s patronage."

The Lord’s Mansion only saw various Great Demon Beasts coming and going. The Demon Cultivators never visited since they banded together, with both sides minding their own business. Today it’s rare to receive a visiting card from the City Lord of one of the top cities in the Wilderness; unclear what his intentions are.

Jiang Bai glanced at the visiting card, merely filled with flattery, then opened the sealed letter, scanning through quickly until she couldn’t help but smile, "You guessed right this time.

However, Demon Cultivators not under wartime control by the Lord, and managing internal conflicts independently, was the power their predecessors fought for. How can they break the rules over such minor issues?"

She pondered moments, replying, "Draft a letter back, informing City Lord Kang Muzi that the rules set cannot be broken; his challenges are internal Demon Cultivator disputes and should be independently managed.

Unless the teleportation array causes war among Demon Cultivators, threatening cities and innocent lives, I shouldn’t intervene.

Moreover, should those Demon Realm Alliance cultivators wish to negotiate fairly with the City Lord, as the Lord, I might consider hosting mediation, valuing peace above all.

Otherwise, if their cooperation fell apart, one party retrieving gifts is understandable, isn’t it?"
