“Is that true?” Wu Xie’er asked with a frown after she got the report from her personal guard.
“I saw with my own eyes, madam. Yang Nianxue and Yu Shi met four other women in that building, but I had never seen them in this city before, so I thought they came from another city.”
“How do they look? Are they wearing strange clothes?”
“No, their appearance is no different from ours, but those women are novice cultivators.”
Wu Xie’er fell silent for some time. “Do you know what they talk about with those women?”
“Madam, I didn’t dare approach them, or Yu Shi would attack me. However, I saw them take Zi Chen to that building and leave her there, so they might open a restaurant there.”
“Zi Chen is indeed a great cook, and her dishes are also delicious, so she probably collaborates with those women.” Wu Xie’er then ordered her. “I want you to investigate their identities and residence, but you don’t need to do anything about them, and you must immediately report everything to me.”
“Yes, madam.”
After her personal guard left, Wu Xie’er leaned back in the chair while thinking, but she suddenly received a voice transmission. However, his expression turned ugly after listening to it, and she confirmed it to the person who contacted her. “I’m sure my guesses about them are correct; those foreigners have something to do with their disappearance. However, I still don’t understand how they were able to infiltrate this clan with such low cultivation, and what exactly have they done to our people?”
After she thought for a long time, Wu Xie’er got up from her seat and left her room, and she immediately left her clan.

Wu Xie’er eventually arrived not far from the building, but in order to avoid drawing Lin Qingzhu and the others’ attention, she only observed from a distance while using her senses. Unfortunately, her personal guard didn’t give her enough information, so she was unaware that Sun Xing’er was lying on the roof in her fox form. .𝘤𝘰𝑚
“Hmm?” Sun Xing’er then used her teleport and moved behind Wu Xie’er, but she frowned once she heard her mumbling. ‘So this woman is the madam of the Nalan Clan, huh? What should I do to her? Should I kill her straight away?’
However, Sun Xing’er did not immediately carry out her intention, and she contacted Chen Li first to ask about his plans for the people of the Nalan Clan. As she expected, her half-brother had no intention of dealing with them for now and asked her to do something else against Wu Xie’er.
“Ouch!” Wu Xie’er let out a low cry as soon as Sun Xing’er took her blood, and she also took a few strands of her hair.
However, Wu Xie’er couldn’t find anyone when she looked back, as Sun Xing’er had moved to the roof again, and she rubbed her neck. “Why is my neck bleeding? Who attacked me just now? I didn’t feel anyone’s presence behind me before.”
Wu Xie’er could only sigh softly and look towards the building for a moment, but she finally decided to leave. “I’d better return to the clan now, and I will wait for information from Wu Yun.”

*Swoosh… Swoosh…*
Quickly, six crescent-shaped sword qi shot out from the air after Chen Li swung the herculean ruler, which was the effect of the third move of the origin sword technique—sword dance.
*Roar*
Several soul realm beasts roared loudly before their bodies were split open by the six sword qi, causing their blood to spray out into the surrounding area, soaking the trees and the ground.
[Quest: Become Strong V: Killing Four Hundred Beasts in the Soul Realm]
[Status: Accomplished]
[Reward: Battle Package V x1]
*Thud*
Chen Li then landed among the corpses of the beasts and breathed a sigh of relief. “Phew, my quest is finally complete. Unfortunately, they don’t have beast cores.”
[Herculean Boot x1 Obtained]
Chen Li shook his head after he opened the quest reward, and he didn’t expect that the equipment still had other sets, especially since the boots were no different from the ruler and armor, which he could set to a maximum weight of 1000 pounds. “Where exactly did Master Song get this herculean equipment set? Could it be that there are other sets besides these three? Forget it; I’ll find out after I complete the new quest that will appear tomorrow.”
Chen Li then set the weight of the herculean boots to the minimum and put them on, but he increased their weight gradually as he jumped in place, and he stopped when the weight reached 200 pounds as he couldn’t jump anymore, especially since he was the ruler and the armor was still attached to his body. “This is my limit for now, or I wouldn’t be able to move freely, but I can increase the weight again after I train for a few days within Tianyi Realm.”
Afterwards, Chen Li went to look for Yang Hao, but the fatty was lying on the ground while breathing heavily, and his appearance looked very messy as dirt covered his body, especially since he repeatedly fell to the ground.
“Are you alright?” Chen Li asked as he squatted down beside Yang Hao, and he handed him a restoration pill. “Eat it, and your condition will recover soon.”
“Hah… Hah… Thank you, Brother Chen.” Yang Hao then swallowed the pill before speaking to him again. “My body is too exhausted after I ran for so long, and my fat must have been reduced quite a lot by now.”
Chen Li smiled in amusement before shaking her head at him. “Hey, you’re delusional, you know? How can you lose fat already? You’ve only been running for a few hours.”
“Tch!” Yang Hao gritted his teeth after hearing that. “You were supposed to encourage me, but instead you brought me down mentally.”
“Haha.” Chen Li laughed and removed the iron weights from Yang Hao’s body before storing them, and he helped him up while saying. “However, if you continue to train this hard for some time to come, you will definitely become slimmer.”
“I know; I will train harder, and I will do whatever it takes to win Cai Yan’s heart.” Yang Hao said that with a determined look.
Chen Li just smiled when he heard that and took Yang Hao back to the location where his family gathered, and when they arrived there, Dongfang Hanxue immediately said to him. “Little Chen, I asked Big Sis Bing’er to take me to her realm to train, especially since that place is very cold, so it would be suitable for my training.”
“Hmm?” Chen Li raised his eyebrows for a moment before turning to Feng Bing’er. “Are you sure you want to take her to the beast plane? As I recall, Big Sis Kong’er told me that the gravity there is very heavy, and I’m not sure if Big Sis Xue can withstand it for too long.”
“Well? Hanxue wouldn’t have been able to stand the gravity before awakening her bloodline, but she has awakened it now, so I think it’s fine if she trains there.” Feng Bing’er then asked him. “Do you want to join us to train there? Since you already have the complete Herculean set, I think it would be better if you trained there with us, and the gravity there will help you greatly.”
“Oh?” Chen Li was surprised by that. “So the Herculean set only has three of these, huh?”
“Yes.”
“All right, I will join you two.” Chen Li had no hesitation in deciding that, as he wanted to become stronger as quickly as possible, and he didn’t need to worry about his family because Sun Xing’er and the others could protect them. “So when are we going there? Are we going to leave right now?” 𝘳𝑎.𝗇t
“The sooner the better.”
Chen Li agreed with that and turned to Yang Hao, but he said directly to him. “Don’t worry, I won’t be lazy about training, so you can go there with them.”
Chen Li then contacted his mother and the others to inform them, and he also told Feng Xian’er to take care of herself while he was away.
Even though Feng Xian’er didn’t want to be separated from her husband, she still agreed to his wish to go to the beast plane, especially since she understood Chen Li so well. “All right, you three can go now, and you don’t have to worry about the rest of us, as we will definitely be fine here.”
“I’ll be back in three weeks, and we’ll go straight to earth to watch Little Qing and Little Yao’s concert.” Chen Li then reduced the weight of the three pieces of equipment to the bare minimum, especially since he still didn’t know anything about gravity on the beast plane.
After he spoke to the others, Xiao Kong’er directly tore open the void and sent them into the beast plane directly.
.

“Gah!” Chen Li instantly fell to the ground as soon as they arrived at the beast plane, but Feng Bing’er immediately protected Dongfang Hanxue with her aura, so she was not too pressured by the gravity of that place. “Hey, how many times is gravity in this place?”
“Haha.” Feng Bing’er laughed softly, seeing Chen Li overwhelmed by it. “The gravity in this place is ten times heavier than that of the Seven Moon Realm. Anyway, I’ll take Hanxue with me, and you can go to my ice palace yourself.”
