Du Wenming sneered coldly: "You threw me into the wormhole just to make me a guinea pig, and now you talk about discussing big plans together, you're too hypocritical."

Boss Lu nodded and smiled: "You're right, so let's be a bit more sincere. You come back to the bookstore with me, and I'll spare your life. How about that?"

Du Wenming frowned: "If I don't go to the bookstore, are you going to kill me?"

Boss Lu did not deny it: "The secrets of the boundary, I don't want them leaked out."

Du Wenming sighed: "You're so cruel!"

Boss Lu shook his head: "I can't be blamed for being cruel, you struck first. From the day you barged into my bookstore, this enmity was already forged."

Du Wenming glanced at Boss Lu, his feet slid, and he reached his side, starting to dance with Boss Lu.

Boss Lu barely resisted, following Du Wenming in twisting his waist and kicking his legs, dancing with some finesse.

Du Wenming performed his most familiar puppet dance, and Boss Lu's body became stiff like a puppet with tense joints and struggled to move.

Du Wenming's body trembled, and it seemed like all his joints were dislocated.

Boss Lu shuddered in response, his joints truly dislocated, and his whole body collapsed to the ground.

Du Wenming smiled, grabbed Boss Lu, and brought him beside the boundary: "You once used me as a guinea pig, today I'll show you the taste of the boundary."

Just as he was about to throw Boss Lu onto the boundary, he suddenly felt the weight of Boss Lu lighten in his hand.

Turning to look, Boss Lu had transformed into a mass of shredded paper flying everywhere.

This wasn't Boss Lu.

Where is the real Boss Lu?

Du Wenming was startled as he heard Boss Lu's voice: "It's good you've come this far, you have nowhere to escape."

The flying paper remnants transformed into three walls, surrounding Du Wenming from three sides.

Each wall was covered with dense writing.

Every character held a weapon.

"Passion" transformed the vertical heart stroke into a long spear, "Trust" turned the single stroke into an iron spear, countless characters were ready to strike, and Boss Lu gave one last warning:

"Come back to my bookstore, and I'll spare your life."

Du Wenming looked back over his shoulder.

Remaining was the one side not enclosed, that side was the boundary.

Boss Lu chuckled: "If you truly have the guts, crash into the boundary and die, I'll still respect you as a man!"

Du Wenming gritted his teeth, turned back, and indeed leaped onto the boundary.

The paper remnants dispersed, Boss Lu appeared, seeing Du Wenming completely vanish, leaving only a cloud of dust.

Did he die?

No.

He's still alive.

Boss Lu carefully sensed the mark on Du Wenming, the signal of the mark had originally disappeared, but soon reappeared.

Boss Lu looked towards the other side of the boundary, a figure with stiff steps quietly disappearing into the dense forest.

Did Du Wenming cross the boundary?

Boss Lu was extremely surprised, he hadn't expected Du Wenming could voluntarily enter the boundary and exit so quickly.

Without the aid of devices, he actually mastered the method to cross the boundary.

Where is he heading?

What does he intend to do?

Boss Lu felt somewhat regretful.

I shouldn't have gone soft just now, I was too willing to spare him a chance.

But thinking again, this was not wrong, Du Wenming is someone worth keeping.

...

On Chu Yaoxian's territory, He Jiaqing was secretly observing the Three-Headed People who were opening up the wilderness.

"Li Qi only granted you a thousand people?"

Chu Yaoxian nodded: "He gave Dou Jiyan two thousand, but only gave me a thousand, probably still holding a grudge over He Yuxiu's earlier affairs."

He Jiaqing deeply agreed: "He is indeed a person who holds grudges, you might not know, these Three-Headed People not only are skilled at cultivating new lands, but they are also excellent warriors."

Chu Yaoxian said: "I've heard, when Qi Qiu City was first built, the Three-Headed People helped Li Qi defeat Chu Shaoqiang, their physiques are formidable, but they lack cultivation level, even though they are just White Lamb, they are still very capable in battle."

He Jiaqing shook his head: "Far more than that, I obtained a classified document from the Outside Provinces, the entry medicine powder from the Outside Provinces, something called the Guidance Agent, can grant the Three-Headed People Taoist Sect abilities and cultivation level,

With this Guidance Agent, they can be trained into formidable warriors, these one thousand Three-Headed People could defeat dozens of Cultivators Above the Clouds, or even more."

"Dozens?" Chu Yaoxian was very surprised.

He Jiaqing provided further explanation: "The prerequisite is adequate training and formulating proper tactics, this is a very complex process."

Chu Yaoxian didn't quite grasp these processes, but she knew the ownership of these Three-Headed People: "I signed a Contract Book with Li Qi, these Three-Headed People are still his personnel, only lent to me."

He Jiaqing smiled: "The hearts of people can't be decided by a Paper Contract alone, these Three-Headed People have suffered greatly, as long as we treat them sincerely, they will definitely not let us down."

A group of Three-Headed People had prepared to open up the wilderness, and the assessment was about to start.

He Jiaqing reminded Chu Yaoxian: "Moderate the pace of opening up the wilderness, try not to provoke the Inner State."

Chu Yaoxian was also worried about this matter: "I have half the Contract Book left in the Inner State, they will eventually come to me about this issue."

"I've already thought about this, the Inner State is facing an epidemic now, some matters are inconvenient to handle, once some time passes, I'll figure out how to bring your Contract Book out of the Inner State."

An Old Hu with antlers arrived at the edge of the land, ready to begin the assessment.

His steps were peculiar, each stride was hesitant, as if there were issues with his joints, his body stretched and contracted, seemingly adjusting to some unique rhythm.

Chu Yaoxian noted: "What trick is this Old Hu trying to play? He specializes in assessment, presumably trying to use the Blinding Technique to mislead."

He Jiaqing observed for a moment: "Let the Old Hu leave here."

Chu Yaoxian responded: "This is an assessment, he's a Strange Monster, if I obstruct him, it would be against the rules."

"He's fallen to Technique!"

While speaking, the Old Hu walked towards a nearby rabbit.

The rabbit didn't run, instead mirrored the strange steps of the Old Hu as it approached the land.

"This is Dance Cultivation Technique!" Chu Yaoxian was taken aback, she herself is a Dance Cultivator, and could see traces of technique on the Old Hu and the rabbit, yet she hadn't seen such dance moves before.

She knew how to use festive dancing and songs and could lead people around her to dance.

But for a celebration-besieged Old Hu to lead a rabbit to dance together, this technique she was witnessing for the first time.

"Let me try to resolve it..." Before Chu Yaoxian could finish, He Jiaqing suddenly appeared behind the Old Hu, at a distance of over ten meters, and flung out two nails.

These two nails, one embedded in the Old Hu's body, the other in the rabbit's body.

The Old Hu and rabbit are Strange Monsters of the New Land, their physiques exceptionally robust, two nails weren't sufficient to kill them.

He Jiaqing's index and middle fingers twitched, forming a gesture akin to a pincer.

The original two nails transformed into thick branches over a meter long, piercing through both the Old Hu and rabbit's bodies, killing them both.

The Three-Headed People were stunned by the scene, unfamiliar with He Jiaqing or the means affecting the Old Hu and rabbit.

He Jiaqing proceeded into the depths of the forest, encountering Du Wenming under a willow tree.

Du Wenming leaned against the willow, hands in his pockets: "Want to do business? I have a good deal here."

PS: Du Wenming is about to stir up a storm!
