Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 95 A Straight Man's Invitation

"You damn well better start dealing some damage!"

After Wu Ke was whipped by the largest Nine Nether Flying Lizard, which had recovered and gone berserk, he also lost his temper: "I don't mind bringing people, but I want to bring cute girls, not you idiot! Go for it!"

The Jade Emperor then seemed to wake from a dream, hurriedly drew his sword, and rushed forward to slash at the berserk Nine Nether Flying Lizard.

Unexpectedly, the Nine Nether Flying Lizard was actually held very firmly by Wu Ke, not giving the Jade Emperor a second glance. It simply tilted its tail to the side, as if to strike Wu Ke a second time, while Wu Ke was busy blocking the attack of the scythe demon that had just been kicked away, unable to defend himself.

In the blink of an eye, the Jade Emperor unleashed a sword beam imbued with lightning-attribute spiritual energy, striking the top of the Nine Nether Flying Lizard's tail.

[Swordsmanship] Initially, it only relied on spiritual energy to condense sword energy. As it leveled up, it could simultaneously unleash sword energy. However, after the Jade Emperor chose to become a sword cultivator among the hundred weapons, he was pleasantly surprised to find that by comparing the invisible sword energy granted by this skill, his understanding of the way of the sword actually became more profound.

Therefore, after learning the basics of the Five Elements magic, the Jade Emperor, without a teacher, mastered the ability to imbue his sword energy with various elemental spirits. This imbued attack with Five Elements spirits is very similar to the spirit-sealing technique jokingly referred to by players as enchantment, except it's a one-time use effect.

Even so, the Jade Emperor's technique remains highly effective—especially the lightning-attribute spiritual energy, which is lethal to most of the Nine Nether Demons, allowing him to deal tons of damage when running dungeons. This is why he is confident that he can solo dungeons.

As soon as the Jade Emperor's sword light, imbued with lightning-attribute spiritual energy, struck down, the berserk Nine Nether Flying Lizard didn't even have time to utter a sound before turning into a wisp of black smoke and then vanishing with a whoosh.

It turns out that the Nine Nether Flying Lizard's Achilles' heel was its tail, which is why it was killed in one strike!

However, neither of them paid any attention to the Nine Nether Flying Lizard tail that had fallen to the ground. Wu Ke had already been slashed several times by the two scythe demons, his body was covered in bloodstains, and even his pants were ripped to shreds and were hanging precariously on his body, revealing the black mosaic underneath.

Hmm... Although the situation is a bit critical, for some reason, the atmosphere has become more philosophical!

Fortunately, the Jade Emperor did not betray his teammates. He charged towards the two Nine Nether Flying Lizards that had grown new tails thanks to demonic energy, slashing them with several sword energies, which provoked them to turn their heads and stick out their tongues at the Jade Emperor.

Seeing the enmity of the enemy, Wu Ke, in a moment of desperation, gathered his strength in his dantian and shouted: "You scoundrel!"

Then, ignoring the two scythe demons that stood tall and swung their scythes at him, he instead threw a punch at the two Netherworld Flying Lizards.

With a series of loud bangs, the two scythes of the scythe demons struck Wu Ke's forehead, as if they had struck a stone, and there was even a faint feeling of metal colliding with stone!
Meanwhile, the two Nine Nether Flying Lizards, who had taken several punches, were also killed by the Jade Emperor's sword energy, turning into two streams of black energy and dissipating.

"You wouldn't believe it, would you! I practice Iron Head Kung Fu!"

Wu Ke grinned menacingly, turned around and pounced on one of the scythe demons, punching it dozens of times in the abdomen. If this thing hadn't been without vocal cords and unable to make a sound, the echo of its screams would have filled the entire cave! The other scythe demon had its legs chopped off by the Jade Emperor's sword, forcing it to pupa up like a maggot, desperately using its demonic energy to regenerate six pairs of legs.

Unfortunately, the Jade Emperor wouldn't give it that chance. He aimed at the joints between the segments of its back and forcefully pierced them with his longsword, making four or five cuts in a row. The scythe demon collapsed to the ground and began to convulse, eventually becoming completely still and returning to nothingness.

Just as the Jade Emperor was about to turn back to support Wu Ke, he turned his head and saw the other party riding on the back of the scythe demon, his face grinning wildly and perversely, and he was making strange howling noises. His two strong arms tightly wrapped around the scythe demon's head, and with a twist, the scythe demon's head and body separated. A stream of black gas gushed out from the severed head. Soon, the last Nine Nether Demon also returned to the Nine Nether in the form of black gas.

This dungeon run was very fruitful. We got two Nine Nether Flying Lizard tails, a pair of Nine Nether Flying Lizard eyeballs, and several pieces of Scythe Demon shells, all of which are good materials and worth a lot of spirit stones. Moreover, the whole process, from queuing to entering the dungeon and even until we finished defeating the monsters, didn't take more than ten minutes!
This efficiency is the fastest I've ever seen since the Jade Emperor started playing "Ten Continents Chronicles"!

"Hey bro! Let's keep grinding!"

The Jade Emperor excitedly extended an invitation to the straight man, having long since forgotten his previous caution—what philosophy? Isn't it normal for men to be interested in philosophy?
"Okay, wait while I change my pants!"

As he spoke, Wu Ke took out a low-level bluish-gray Qiankun Bag from his game backpack, then pulled out a stack of identical, bundled beginner pants. He skillfully pulled out one pair, threw the bundle of pants back into the Qiankun Bag, and finally put the Qiankun Bag back into his game backpack.

These movements were so practiced it was almost heartbreaking.

Unbeknownst to the Jade Emperor, Wu Ke, and the other players, Fang Xianyu satisfiedly reviewed the operation of the Illusionary Realm instance and observed the interactions between the villagers of Divine Blessing Village and the players. After confirming that everything was under control, he enthusiastically rode a cloud towards the Guangcheng Sect.

Players' daily dungeon runs and monster hunts bring her a considerable amount of energy points, and the villagers' occasional worship also provides a small supplement. Even after deducting the costs of connecting to the "Otherworld Network" and the maintenance of various merchant NPC puppets within the sect, she still has some surplus every day. If she saves up for a month or two, she might even consider opening up thousands of slots for the third closed beta test!

However, what limits her ability to recruit players is not only the energy required to maintain the network, but also the players' survival problem—the animals near Taiyin Mountain are almost all eaten by the players, and even the hunters in Taiping Town have changed their profession to become middlemen between the players and Taiping Town. If another thousand players come, I'm afraid there won't be any grass left in the mountains within hundreds of miles!
With animal husbandry and agricultural production becoming increasingly urgent, she probed Wang Ergou and others several times and learned that it would probably take at least one or two months to see results. This was based on the fact that she had provided pills that could make plants and animals grow rapidly using the Baili Shuang vest.

Furthermore, the division of territory also needs to be discussed in detail with Guangcheng Sect. The Taiyin Sect is currently sandwiched between Guangcheng Sect and Chiyuan Cave, but in reality, there is no unclaimed land between these two forces. If they want territory, they can only occupy the southern coastal areas.

But that place is also known as the Ten Thousand Mountains. Although there are at least eighty or a hundred places called the Ten Thousand Mountains in the Ten Continents and Three Islands, there are indeed countless unknown forces and sects in this Ten Thousand Mountains. Although almost none of them are respectable, there are quite a few demons and monsters. If players were to be sent out, they would probably have to wait for resurrection in their sects at all times.

This is also why Fang Xianyu has always kept the restrictions within a certain range. At least she has to wait until most players have reached the Foundation Establishment stage before letting them go out and explore. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to do anything else but stay at home and reconstruct the corpses of these ancestors!

Therefore, Fang Xianyu still hoped that the chives she was cultivating would work hard and grow up quickly to establish their foundations, so that she could truly control a territory.

Of course, first of all, she still had to negotiate with Guangcheng Sect to nominally take over the territory—at least she had to get Guangcheng Sect and Chiyuan Cave to recognize the future territory of Taiyin Sect!

Oh no, I only wrote two chapters about the muscle man and lost about ten favorites. Is the muscle man that unpopular? I thought he was pretty cool! QAQ
