145: Ziyun Villa

The scale of Cangzhou City is hundreds of times that of Dongfeng Town.

The city walls stretch endlessly, and just the outer barbican walls are fifteen zhang high.

Jiang Chen doesn't know how many people live in Cangzhou City.

But according to what Li Tianheng said before, the garrison army alone within the city numbered 100,000.

However, in the Late Stage of the Qingyun Mountain Range, a large number of garrison troops were mobilized to the front, and the casualties exceeded eight thousand.

The Demon Slayer Army is considered the elite among the armies, and it also numbers a full thirty thousand.

Just to support these armies, the population of Cangzhou City must be considerable.

With his identity token as a Demon Slayer Guard Banner Officer, Jiang Chen naturally had an unobstructed path, and even the soldiers at the gate saluted him.

This made Jiang Chen sigh with emotion.

He recalled that back then, just to enter Dongfeng Town, he had to offer many benefits to butter up the guards, otherwise, he wouldn't even be allowed to carry his hunted prey inside.

Now, he was receiving such respect.

Everything was brought about by strength.

He still needed to become even stronger.

During this operation, Jiang Chen also came into contact with the Sacred Martial Academy.

The girl named Ye Wanqiu was very strong.

It was clear that with the top resources of the Sacred Martial Academy, coupled with a super Genius like Ye Wanqiu, they would eventually Cultivate top powerhouses.

Ye Wanqiu belongs to the younger generation.

Therefore, within the Sacred Martial Academy, some well-known powerhouses must have already been cultivated.

Let alone standing at the pinnacle of this continent, just to stand at the pinnacle of the Great Lan Dynasty, he still needed even greater strength.

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

He drove the carriage all the way into Cangzhou City.

It was only early morning, but people were already busy on the streets.

It was a scene of peace, tranquility, and prosperity.

If they had failed to resist the advance of the demons, then everything within Cangzhou City would have turned to naught.

Demons are hateful, but those who conspire in the dark are even more hateful.

Ziyun Villa is located in the Nanshan urban area of Cangzhou City. Purple Cloud Mountain itself is a very large wetland garden, with some Spirit Beasts that have long resided there. It is part of Cangzhou City's protected area, and only a small portion of it has some buildings.

A manor here must not be something one can simply buy.

"Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful."

When Cheng Yurou arrived at Ziyun Villa.

She was immediately stunned by the surrounding beautiful scenery.

The manor is located halfway up a mountain peak, but from halfway up, it is already part of the manor's interior.

Facing forward is a Spiritual Qi-filled lake, with lush trees and vibrant life.

Further away is the urban area.

If one does not know qinggong (lightness skill), one would probably need to take a carriage to reach the urban area.

"It truly is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Just a location like this, he didn't know how much it would cost.

At the entrance of the manor, everyone had just gotten out of the carriage.

A mature woman with a graceful figure, wearing a fitted cheongsam, slowly approached.

Her beautiful long hair was coiled at the back of her head, and the buttons on her collar seemed to be fastened with all her might, barely holding on.

"Welcome, Lord Jiang, and all the ladies. I am the housekeeper here, Li Yan."

"The Zhou Family Head asked me to wait here for all of you."

Li Yan stepped forward slowly and said respectfully.

Zhou Yan had already sent people a few days ago to clean up the manor. For such a large manor, it was normal to have such a beautiful housekeeper.

Jiang Chen's gaze swept over her.

Li Yan in front of him had no Cultivation whatsoever; she was just an ordinary person, perhaps particularly outstanding in her management abilities.

Those with Martial Dao talent are inherently few.

Coupled with the demanding conditions for Martial Dao Cultivation, they are even fewer.

Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged as he cupped his hands to Li Yan.

"Then I shall trouble Housekeeper Li."

The subsequent familiarization with the courtyards and arrangement matters were all handed over to Cheng Yurou and the others to coordinate with Li Yan.

Before leaving, Jiang Chen also set up the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array.

Although the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array can be used at any time, it still takes time to accumulate to a certain level of density.

"The Spiritual Qi in this place itself is much more abundant than in Purple Bamboo Manor before."

"If the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array is added, the effect will only be stronger. It shouldn't take long for it to increase to over a dozen times its original level."

"Leaving it in Purple Bamboo Manor before, it must have been hard on this Formation Plate."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

The function of the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array is to continuously absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. When it was placed in Purple Bamboo Manor, it was like placing it in a desert; it was inherently more difficult to accumulate enough moisture.

But when placed in the Purple Cloud Mountain Range, it is equivalent to placing it on a lake with rich moisture.

The effect is naturally more obvious.

"It's a pity that I only master Rank 5 Formation Spells now. When my Formation Spell Rank improves in the future, I'll try to see if I can upgrade the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array."

Currently, there are still many methods available to Cheng Yurou and the others.

With the scale of Cangzhou City, under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be incidents of sudden killings.

Even organizations like the Jin Family can only do such things outside the city.

Otherwise, there would always be traces, and the government would not sit idly by and allow such situations to occur.

What's more, the City Lord is only an Earth Martial Realm powerhouse.

With the current Rank 5 Grand Formation, it is enough to withstand.

Plus the Yin Yang Life and Death Mirror.

Jiang Chen had already given the method to Cheng Yurou.

At a critical moment, if it could hit the opponent, let alone an Earth Martial Realm, even a Heavenly Martial Realm would suffer.

This is still with Cheng Yurou's low Cultivation.

If Jiang Chen were to act, even a Martial King level powerhouse might fall.

After all, the Yin Yang Life and Death Mirror is a genuine Rank 9 Spiritual Artifact.

Coupled with the existence of the martial arts puppet.

If there were any accidents, Jiang Chen would be able to know about it immediately.

"If only I could summon a few more martial arts puppets."

"Eh? Does that mean the last Construction skill could refine martial arts puppets?"

Jiang Chen suddenly thought.

This is very possible.

But the option has already passed, so he can only wait until next time.

"Shishi, keep this letter of recommendation for now. When I return, I'll take you to visit together."

"Also, this talisman contains some information about Soul Cultivators. It was given to me by Lord Wang of Dongfeng Town. You can familiarize yourself with it first."

Jiang Chen said.

Jiang Chen had sought Wang Fusheng's permission before giving the talisman to Yang Shishi.

For Wang Fusheng.

Anyway, Yang Shishi belonged to Jiang Chen, so there was nothing to worry about.

He was still hoping that Jiang Chen could help him find that thing.

Once his strength recovered, this bit of experience would be nothing.

The Dragon Horn Bow was given to Xia Si柠.

As for the Ming Long Fist manual and the Martial Dao True Meaning Diagram, Jiang Chen gave them to Xia Sixuan.

The strength of several people has now reached the Xiantian Realm, and it is time for them to master stronger power.

Jiang Chen did not stay long at Ziyun Villa.

After settling Cheng Yurou and the others, he immediately rushed towards Yingzui Peak outside the city without stopping.

When Jiang Chen rode his horse out of the city gate.

He immediately felt a team of people following closely behind him.

Although these people were disguised, each of them possessed extraordinary strength!
