"Chu Xuan?"
Heavenly River True Master mulled over the name, deep in thought. He suddenly recalled that it was Chu Xuan who had annihilated the Mystic Azure Star's Feather Transformation Heaven Palace and taken its place. Because of this person, the Reincarnation Divine Sect lost control of the Mystic Azure Star, a resource-rich cultivation planet, which they had handed over without a fight. He had a vivid memory of that event.
"I remember," he suddenly spoke, "This person previously took control of a great spirit stone mine, right?"
The Nascent Soul cultivator outside the door respectfully nodded, "Yes, that's correct. Qiu Wanhong and the others tried to seize that mine, but they were ultimately defeated by Chu Xuan."
Heavenly River True Master said lightly, "What else?"
The Nascent Soul cultivator continued, "The cultivators from Red Flame Pavilion took advantage of Crazy Dragon Valley's attack on the great spirit stone mine and occupied the Cold Ironwood Forest. They have now taken it as their own."
Heavenly River True Master remained impassive, "Make sure they remember to deliver the Cold Ironwood every month."
The Nascent Soul cultivator bowed, "Understood. Master, as far as I know, many righteous cultivators have secretly formed alliances with that demonic cultivator from Heavenly Infinite Sect..."
Heavenly River True Master replied indifferently, "Ignore them. Over time, they will eventually fight each other over the spirit stones, and those so-called alliances will fall apart."
He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "Always remember what I have told you. Our enemy will forever be Tian Mozi. As long as he does not act, we should not act either, or we will give him an opening."
The Nascent Soul cultivator nodded respectfully, "Understood, Master. I will take my leave now."
Heavenly River True Master sighed softly, closing his eyes and entering a state of meditation, putting all his concerns aside.
...
"Another peaceful and calm day."
Chu Xuan casually crushed the skull of a Nether Crocodile, sighing slightly. Ever since the news of his killing of Qiu Wanhong spread, no one had dared to trouble him. No one dared to eye the great spirit stone mine either. Now, those brave enough to challenge him were no longer human. They were beasts. Only ancient beasts like the Nether Crocodile and the Dark Nether Falcon would persistently seek trouble with him.
"What a pity."
"ROAR!!"
In the distance, the howl of a corpse puppet echoed through the night.
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. That direction led straight to Heaven-Three City. Now, Heaven-Three City was entirely occupied by corpse puppets. Most of these corpse puppets had been left behind by Heavenly Corpse Palace cultivators. There had been a few righteous cultivators who, upon seeing their potential, had tried to subdue some of the puppets for their own use.
After all, corpse puppets didn't consume Spiritual Qi, which made them perfect minions in the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, where Spiritual Qi was dwindling. But those few righteous cultivators had all met with failure. Two unlucky guys even perished in Heaven-Three City, without even causing a ripple.
Chu Xuan had no intention of going to Heaven-Three City to subdue the corpse puppets. Currently, the three Corpse Kings under his control were all of his own making, and their loyalty was exceedingly high.
