I'm in the world of cultivation, and I get a system for becoming a wealthy urban tycoon?

Hearing Lu Yang's words, Liu Yaoyao felt an indescribable joy welling up in her heart, a warmth spreading from her chest to her fingertips.

Indeed, young master is truly wonderful!

She quickly bowed gratefully, saying, "Thank you, young master!"

Lu Yang chuckled lightly: "There's no need for such formality between us."

Liu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, her pretty face displaying a charming and alluring expression.

Afterwards, Lu Yang inquired about the situation of Qin Nanyue and Jiang Shiqing.

Having learned from Liu Yaoyao that both of them were in seclusion for cultivation, Lu Yang did not disturb them.

After all, they still have random missions to complete, so they need to focus on their training.

So, with Liu Yaoyao's help, Lu Yang ate some spiritual food, ran three kilometers in the small world, and then continued reading.

Nine cloud dragons pulled a luxurious bronze chariot, leaving nine white cloud trails in the sky.

After crossing the border of Huangzhou, the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot officially entered the territory of Daozhou.

Originally, Lu Yang planned to go to Daozhou after dealing with Zhou Mu's matter to take over the Wanxiang Merchant Alliance that he had just acquired.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mu was directly possessed by a powerful member of the Blood Demon Clan. In order to deal with the Blood Demon Clan expert, he had to travel through several continents and even encountered Void Evil.

This back-and-forth caused considerable delays to the trip.

Now that things are over, it's natural to go to the Wanxiang Business Alliance to check on the situation.

This was Lu Yang's first time in Daozhou. The border between Daozhou and Huangzhou was a river hundreds of kilometers wide. Looking into the distance, the water and sky blended into one, and the opposite bank was almost invisible.

The river was turbulent, and the crashing waves sent white sprays flying several meters high, creating a thunderous roar.

From time to time, huge black shadows swam slowly underwater, each movement causing the undercurrents to surge and exuding a powerful demonic aura.

Lu Yang even saw through the window a dragon covered in light blue scales soaring into the sky. The dragon was long and slender, several tens of feet long. Its blue scales gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight. Its golden vertical pupils looked at the nine cloud dragons being pulled apart, its gaze filled with scrutiny and curiosity.

Upon discovering that the nine cloud dragons were not real dragons, the light blue dragon immediately dived back into the water without even coming up to greet them.

To Lu Yang's surprise, this dragon's cultivation had actually reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, making it one of the top beings in the entire Eastern Region.

This made Lu Yang sigh. As expected of Daozhou, which possesses top-grade spiritual veins, he encountered a demon king in the Nascent Soul stage so quickly.

After the dragon disappeared, the number of monsters in the water where the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot passed was significantly reduced, especially the powerful demonic energy, which completely vanished.

After crossing the wide river, the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot entered Daozhou. Daozhou has a very pleasant environment with a mild and comfortable climate, neither too cold nor too dry. The gentle breeze carries a rich spiritual energy, and just one breath makes one feel refreshed.

The landscape below is rich and beautiful, with vast primeval forests stretching endlessly, their canopies undulating like green waves; wildflowers dot the emerald grasslands, and occasionally herds of deer can be seen running among the grass; in the distance, the mountains rise one after another, their snow-capped peaks shimmering silver in the sunlight.

The various landforms unfold like a slowly unfurling ink wash landscape scroll.

As the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot swept across the sky, Lu Yang could occasionally see mortal cities dotting the landscape like stars scattered across a green carpet.

The cities vary in size, but without exception, they are all planned in an orderly manner, with wide streets and houses arranged in a staggered pattern.

The ordinary people in the city seemed to be living well. There were quite a few elderly people and children. Some elderly people with gray hair were still walking on the streets, with steady steps and rosy complexions, showing little sign of old age.

Lu Yang was not surprised by this, after all, the concentration of spiritual energy here was too high, and even mortals could prolong their lives under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

Just as the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot was passing through a mountain range, Lu Yang suddenly saw a flash of blood-red light ahead, and a blood-qi power that Lu Yang felt was somewhat familiar was wafting out.

Seeing this, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly and immediately ordered Wang San, who was in charge of driving, to change direction and fly towards the direction where the blood mist was drifting.

…………

Lakeview Town is an ordinary town located on the shore of Xiuhu Lake.

The town is built along the water, with white walls and gray tiles. Fishing nets are drying in front of every household, and the air is filled with the faint scent of aquatic plants all year round.

The residents have made a living by fishing and shrimp catching for generations, living a simple and peaceful life.

In such an environment rich in spiritual energy, the chances of monsters being born are naturally higher.

However, the Daozhou Dynasty has a dedicated group of cultivators, as well as a Demon Suppression Division responsible for dealing with demons.

Once you encounter a harmful demon, just report it, and an official from the Demon Suppression Bureau will come to eliminate it.

Even if the Demon Suppression Bureau cannot handle it, the dynasty will report it to the major immortal sects and ask them to handle it.

Therefore, most of the demonic beasts in Daozhou are well-behaved and mainly cultivate by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and very few directly eat people.

Even a small, ordinary town like Lakeview is considered safe.

However, at this moment, Lakeview Town has been transformed into a blood-soaked wasteland.

Three monks dressed in black robes floated in the sky.

A dark red array of light enveloped the entire town, resembling an overturned, blood-stained giant bowl.

Within the light curtain, blood mist swirled, and vengeful spirits howled incessantly within the mist, their distorted faces appearing and disappearing in the fog.

The houses in the town were still intact, but the ground was littered with shriveled corpses, old and young, men and women, all with the same terrified expression they had on before they died. Their flesh and blood had been sucked clean, leaving only a layer of withered skin clinging to their bones.

In the central square of Lakeview Town, two figures are struggling to hold on.

They were a middle-aged man and woman dressed in blue official robes.

The man was stocky, his square face covered in cold sweat, and a trace of blood still clinging to the corner of his mouth; the woman was slender, with a scholarly air about her, but her face was ashen white from forcibly activating the magic weapon.

The two stood back to back, each holding a cyan token in their hands. The tokens were inscribed with the words "Suppress Demons" and emitted a faint cyan light, creating a protective light shield around them that was only a few dozen meters in diameter.

Inside the light shield, a dozen or so children, all under the age of ten, were huddled on the ground.

The oldest was only eight or nine years old, and the youngest was only three or four. They were all pale-faced and stared in fear at the three figures in the sky.

Several of the younger children had cried until their voices were hoarse, and they huddled together, trembling.

And in their fear, their eyes also held hatred.

Just now, their parents and relatives were all swallowed up by the blood mist and turned into dried corpses in front of them.

These children are young and don't understand much, but they vaguely realize that their parents and relatives will never come back.

The middle-aged man and woman dressed in blue official robes were both at the Foundation Establishment stage, while one of the three cultivators on the formation had even reached the Golden Core stage.

With a Golden Core cultivator leading two Foundation Establishment cultivators and having set up an array beforehand, the difference in strength should have been overwhelming.

The reason the two were still able to hold out was because they used a special magical artifact of the dynasty, which could be connected to the dynasty's fortune and amplify the artifact's power with the dynasty's fortune.

That's why, even though the cultivators of the Demon Suppression Division were not as powerful as the demon beasts, the demon beasts didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

However, the formation of these three evil cultivators was too domineering. The blood mist that filled the sky was like a greedy giant mouth, constantly eroding the cyan light shield. Each time it was corroded, the light shield shrank by one size.

As the protective range narrowed, the light shield became as thin as a sheet of paper, seemingly about to shatter at any moment.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, looked up at the three black-robed cultivators in the sky, and shouted coldly, "Three heretics! How dare you be so arrogant! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the powerful figures of our dynasty?! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Tai Xuan Holy Sect?!"

The leading Golden Core cultivator looked down at him condescendingly, sneering, his tone contemptuous yet tinged with madness: "The sects of the Eastern Region have already begun purging us. Are we supposed to just offer our necks to be slaughtered?! Today, we will use your lifeblood to pave our path to immortality! Rest assured, after we devour this small town, the three of us will flee far away, leaving this place, far from Dao Prefecture! No one will be able to find us!"

He glanced at the two Foundation Establishment stage evil cultivators beside him and said coldly, "Two pieces of trash. Time is of the essence. Let me handle this!"

The two Foundation Establishment stage heretical cultivators immediately retreated, not daring to say anything more.

Just as this Golden Core stage evil cultivator was about to take action himself, a terrifyingly powerful Nascent Soul True Monarch aura suddenly appeared in the distance.

The aura moved with incredible speed, pressing down with terrifying force, causing the three evil cultivators' expressions to change drastically.

How could a Nascent Soul True Monarch be in such a remote place?!

The two Foundation Establishment stage evil cultivators didn't even have time to react before they spat out a mouthful of blood and plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground, their fate unknown.

The Golden Core stage heretic's expression changed drastically. He immediately turned into a bloody light and tried to escape into the distance, abandoning even the array flags and his two disciples.

However, just as this evil cultivator made a move, several dragon roars came from afar.

The dragon's roar wasn't loud, yet it seemed to pierce right through one's soul.

The evil cultivator at the Golden Core stage was struck as if by lightning, his body trembling violently.

The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily from the sky.

The two middle-aged men and women below looked at each other, staring at the direction from which the dragon's roar came from, their hearts filled with inexplicable shock.

The children also looked over curiously.

They didn't feel any pressure; they only saw the two Foundation Establishment stage evil cultivators fall from the sky. The Golden Core stage evil cultivator tried to escape, but several dragon roars came, and he also fell directly down.

The two middle-aged men and women lowered their heads and looked on, utterly shocked.

Could it be someone from the Jiaolong clan who has arrived?

That's strange, why would the dragon help them?
