168: It's so great to have it both ways!

"Understood." The woman nodded expressionlessly, then vanished before Chang Yutian.

Chang Yutian's somewhat pale face slowly recovered, but the deep wrinkles on his face could still trap flies.

"It's still not safe enough. These two divine corpses also need to be refined with human sacrifices..."

Chang Yutian toyed with the two rather fleshy divine corpses in his hands, muttering to himself.

"Great Liang Kingdom can't be visited for a while. If I provoke those crazy Aristocratic Families, it'll be a bit difficult for me to deal with them with my current strength."

"Forget it, I'll go to the Eastern Demon Alliance first to get some monsters for refinement."

In the end, Chang Yutian didn't dare to provoke Great Liang Kingdom or Chengtian Empire.

He chose a place where no one would care how much damage he caused: the Eastern Demon Alliance... Meanwhile, after being cooped up in the Great Dark Cave for a long time, Chen Heng finally saw the long-awaited sunlight.

However, besides the dazzling sunlight, there were also a dozen menacing wolf Yao around.

"You guys are pretty awesome, managing to bring Qianfa Tower to the Eastern Demon Alliance."

Chen Heng completely ignored the surrounding wolf Yao, happily looking at the Qianfa Tower members behind him.

"Damned Human Race! How dare you trespass into my Yao Race territory? You truly don't know how to write the word 'death'!"

The leading wolf Yao, holding a bone blade, pointed at Chen Heng and roared.

"Senior Chen, please understand, we didn't want to either, but we couldn't contend with those Noble and powerful clans and cults, so we could only flee here to recuperate."

Yu Qian also ignored the wolf Yao, explaining with a hint of helplessness.

"Oh? You're also at odds with the Aristocratic Families?" Chen Heng's eyes lit up; he had found an ally.

"Of course! They are cruel and heartless, harming the living beings of this world, using common folk as nourishment for their growth."

At this point, Yu Qian's eyes blazed with fury, clearly hating the Aristocratic Families to the core.

"My parents, two elder brothers, and three younger sisters were all used as nourishment to feed Anomalies by those beasts!"

"How dare you pretend not to see me, your master! All you arrogant human dogs deserve to die!"

Chen Heng and Yu Qian's disregard infuriated the wolf Yao. It grabbed its bone blade and pounced on Bai Jun, who seemed the easiest to bully.

"?" Bai Jun.

Bai Jun, who had been eating melon and burping nearby, never expected the wolf Yao to target him. Before he knew it, he was stabbed straight through the heart.

"You bastard..."

The death-substitution talisman in Bai Jun's bag exploded with a puff. He stared blankly at the equally bewildered wolf Yao in front of him.

"You wasted one of my death-substitution talismans, so you'll repay me with your wolf hide!"

Bai Jun grabbed his startling swan sword and stabbed it into the wolf Yao's brain through its eye socket.

Ever since following Chen Heng, Bai Jun's temper had grown increasingly volatile, and his attacks had become more ruthless.

He was subtly showing signs of becoming Chen Heng Unit Two.

"The wolf hide feels nice, eh?" After stabbing the wolf Yao to death, Bai Jun touched its fur, which was both smooth and a little prickly.

"It must be good. This is a wolf Yao's fur; in Human Race territory, it can sell for thousands of gold."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jun's eyes immediately shone like light bulbs, and his gaze towards the other wolf Yao changed.

If Yu Qian's words were true, Bai Jun's debt of over five thousand taels of silver to Chen Heng would soon be repaid!

If he hunted a few more monsters, he might even earn enough for the spirit gathering furnace.

Thinking of this, Bai Jun's eyes were like two light bulbs, making the wolf Yao break out in a cold sweat.

Chen Heng was not concerned with the life or death of those wolf Yao right now; he was very curious about Qianfa Tower.

From the fat man surnamed Zou, he learned that Qianfa Tower was an old rival of the Great Liang imperial family and the Aristocratic Families.

Chen Heng also wanted to harvest the 'leeks' of the Aristocratic Families, so this was a perfect coincidence, wasn't it?

When harvesting the Aristocratic Families, he could gain Optimization chances and also receive great benefits from Qianfa Tower. Why wouldn't he?

Killing two birds with one stone, just thinking about it felt great.

"Let's go, take me to see your Tower Master."

Chen Heng lightly stomped his foot, and the wolf Yao instantly turned into bloody foam, scattering everywhere.

It splattered all over Bai Jun, who had been planning to hunt the wolf Yao to pay off his debt.

...Bai Jun.

"Yes, Senior Chen." Yu Qian bowed very respectfully and immediately led the way.

During their time together, Yu Qian had discovered that Chen Heng was not as terrifying as they had imagined.

He could communicate normally, and was even quite friendly.

It was truly incredible.

One had to know, the battle he had witnessed earlier could only be described as brutal.

The most primitive, most bloody, struggle and fight.

Two giant beasts over eight meters tall fought each other, blood rained down everywhere, the earth trembled, and the cave was filled with the stench of blood.

Qianfa Tower was not close to their current location, but it was closer to the Jade Fan Kingdom, so Chen Heng gladly followed them.

After all, his body—no, Bai Jun's clothes, pants, and even underwear—were stuffed with medicinal herbs.

This kid was also a talent; the Sleeve Universe worked on any clothing he wore.

If Chen Heng hadn't been so disgusted, Bai Jun would have even wanted to stuff more into his socks.

These medicinal herbs were all treasures. Although he didn't know exactly what they all were, they were definitely good things.

Later, he would have his black slave—no, Bai Jun—refine all these Medicinal Pills and raise his Realm by another level!

As for the Eastern Demon Alliance, Chen Heng planned to visit it when he had time, to see if he could catch a few female Yao, like fox Yao, cat Yao, or snake Yao, to play with at home.

"Tsk, just thinking about it feels good."

...Just as Chen Heng was pondering how to catch a few more beautiful Yao in the Eastern Demon Alliance, Chen Fugui was sitting at home, drenched in sweat.

"Old Liu, you said your Master hasn't come out since entering Shigou Village?"

Chen Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, his fingers trembling slightly.

"Yes, Patriarch Chen, it's been four days, and The Master still hasn't come out."

Old Liu's face was also anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

"What should we do..." Chen Fugui couldn't sit still either, following Old Liu around in the main hall.

"Old Liu, tell me again what happened in Shigou Village?"

Chen Fugui finally calmed down. He didn't believe his son would die in a small Shigou Village.

There must be something preventing him from returning temporarily!

"I'm not too sure either; The Master didn't let me follow him in."

Old Liu was so anxious he could barely speak clearly.

Chen Heng was a great benefactor to their Old Liu family. If not for Chen Heng, their Hundred Objects Tower would now be in someone else's hands.

"I only saw Shigou Village suddenly explode at that time, so I quickly went in to check."

"But there was no one inside, only a large hole seven or eight zhang wide!"
