405: Chapter 405 Taking Down Golden Crow You and Golden Crow Ning'er

The Golden Crow Clan's banquet was as passionate as fire, leaving Cao Yang completely bewildered! He couldn't help but wonder if it was because his strength was too overwhelming?

However, when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he realized that wasn't the case.

After all, he had only just stepped into the Elementary Chaos Emperor Realm, and the Seventh Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan had already reached the same Realm as him.

To speculate further, since Old Man Jin was only the Seventh Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan, it was conceivable that there must be six other Old Ancestors in the clan.

The cultivation bases of these Old Ancestors were likely comparable to Old Man Jin's, or perhaps even higher.

For such a powerful Golden Crow Clan to be so friendly to someone like him, who was merely in the Chaos Emperor Realm, truly left Cao Yang perplexed.

After the banquet, Cao Yang and the women returned to Jinwu Lanxin's residence with her grandfather, Jinwu Yan.

The Golden Crow Clan didn't have separate pavilions specifically for guests, but Jinwu City was massive, and every household owned many spacious courtyards.

Therefore, Jinwu Lanxin's courtyard was large enough to accommodate Cao Yang and the others.

At this moment, although Cao Yang still had thoughts of taking more women, he felt embarrassed to bring it up forcefully in the face of the Golden Crow Clan's warm hospitality.

After all, the Golden Crow Clan was so kind to him; as the saying goes, "one does not strike a smiling face," not to mention that Cao Yang came from a country in his past life known for being well-mannered and reasonable.

During the banquet, Cao Yang's gaze was drawn to Jinwu You, the daughter of the Golden Crow Clan Chief, Jinwu Jie.

She not only had a beautiful appearance but also possessed quite impressive strength, having already reached the heights of the Chaos Supreme Realm.

Just as Cao Yang was secretly observing Jinwu You, his System suddenly emitted a notification sound.

This time, the notification wasn't just for Jinwu You alone; it included the daughters of several Elders as well as several single female Elders.

Therefore, no matter what, Cao Yang would absolutely not give up on the Golden Crow Clan, a place filled with endless Treasure Troves.

He firmly believed that this place would become the key to his Breakthrough into the Transcendence Realm, providing him with an unignorable and massive contribution.

However, Cao Yang realized he needed to change his strategy.

After all, direct seizure was not a wise move and would only lead to unnecessary conflict and trouble.

Thus, he decided to employ a more subtle method to achieve his goal.

This method was like boiling a frog in warm water, requiring patience and time.

Cao Yang planned to slowly conquer all the single women of the Golden Crow Clan, letting them be attracted to him without even realizing it.

In this way, Cao Yang and the women settled down within the Golden Crow Clan.

For the first few days, at Cao Yang's request, the Clan Chief personally led them on a tour of various places within the Golden Crow Clan.

The sheer scale of the Golden Crow Clan truly took Cao Yang by surprise.

Jinwu City alone had an area as vast as ten thousand Divine Realms!

Such a massive space made their travel speed exceptionally slow.

Even more surprising to Cao Yang was that the Divine Sense of the Golden Crow Clan members was also restricted, and the degree of restriction was no different from that of outsiders like them.

This meant they couldn't rely on Divine Sense for rapid movement, nor could they fly; they could only rely on walking to explore this enormous world.

As a result, traveling through the entire Golden Crow Clan would likely take more than a year.

After accompanying Cao Yang and the many women for half a month, Clan Chief Jinwu Jie had to leave temporarily due to being tied down by clan affairs, leaving his daughter, Jinwu You, to continue accompanying Cao Yang and the others.

This change in personnel was actually exactly what Cao Yang wanted.

The women each had different interests and travel destinations; it would be somewhat inconvenient if they all acted together.

Therefore, they decided to split into several groups based on their preferences and head to different places.

Originally, Hong Yi and Long Xiaoxiao intended to stay behind, but under persuasion from Cao Yang's side, they eventually changed their minds.

The reason was simple: Cao Yang's Disciple, A Yinggu, had only just stepped into the Saint Realm, and her strength was still shallow.

Walking through a super Universe filled with Chaos Power without someone to accompany and protect her, A Yinggu would likely encounter many dangers.

So, Hong Yi and Long Xiaoxiao decided to follow Cao Yang's suggestion and go to protect A Yinggu's path.

Consequently, only Jinwu You remained by Cao Yang's side as a guide.

This was undoubtedly the situation Cao Yang had hoped for, as he had long since regarded Jinwu You as his target.

He knew well that to make Jinwu You fall in love with him quickly, he had to seize this rare opportunity to properly cultivate their feelings for each other.

Of course, Cao Yang wasn't doing nothing. In fact, he had already successfully condensed as many as a hundred Chaos true spirit bodies!

These true spirit bodies were no ordinary things but powerful existences meticulously refined by Cao Yang.

Each possessed the strength of the Chaos Emperor Realm, which was sufficient to protect the safety of the women.

These Chaos true spirit bodies were dispatched by Cao Yang to silently guard the women in secret.

After all, the women's Realm only remained at the Chaos Cave Master Realm. In the boundless Chaos of the outer gates, this might be considered decent strength.

However, this was the territory of the Golden Crow Clan, and the women's strength here could only be considered average.

The men of the Golden Crow Clan were generally much stronger than the women.

Although the higher-ups of the Golden Crow Clan showed great friendliness toward Cao Yang and the women, no one could guarantee how the lower-status clan members would treat them.

If some young Golden Crow Clan member acted on impulse, unable to restrain their desires, and tried to get handsy with the women, the consequences would be unimaginable.

One must know that the Golden Crow Clan was born with extremely high Realms and strength, which meant that while many young members were outstanding in cultivation and power...

...their Heart-Nature was no different from that of teenagers in their teens, lacking sufficient self-control.

After Cao Yang had provided all-around, dead-end-free protection for the women's safety, a huge weight finally lifted from his heart.

He let out a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Jinwu You beside him, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly into a confident smile.

Seeing Cao Yang's confident smile, Jinwu You couldn't help but smile awkwardly as well.

Being left alone with him made her feel a bit uneasy.

After all, they were a lone man and woman together, and she had never had contact with men from the outside world.

Cao Yang took the opportunity to take her hand and said gently, "Let's go. Lead this Palace Master to experience the beautiful scenery of this Jinwu City."

Jinwu You nodded somewhat shyly, wanting to pull her small hand away.

But Cao Yang was in the Chaos Emperor Realm; how could she pull away with her meager strength?

She could only let Cao Yang lead her by the hand as they strolled through the streets and alleys of Jinwu City together.

Cao Yang fully utilized the girl-chasing techniques from his past life, showering Jinwu You with sweet talk and meticulous care along the way.

He not only said moving words of love but also occasionally presented small surprises, such as fresh flowers picked from the Chaos on the way here, or a small gift that could increase one's cultivation base.

These small actions made Jinwu You feel incredibly happy. The conservative Jinwu You had never seen such a blatant expression of love, and soon, she gradually developed unusual feelings for Cao Yang.

Her trust and reliance on Cao Yang also grew.

Thus, after three full months of aggressive pursuit by Cao Yang, Jinwu You was finally successfully won over by him.

She had fallen deeply in love with Cao Yang and was willing to spend the rest of her life with him.

And because Cao Yang successfully pursued Jinwu You, he obtained 2500 hongmeng sign-in counts from the System—quite a generous reward!

With Jinwu You as an "insider," Cao Yang's path to pursuing women became exceptionally smooth.

With Jinwu You's help, it only took him a short month to successfully bring Jinwu You's best friend, Jinwu Ninger, into his fold as well.

Jinwu Ninger was the granddaughter of the Second Elder of Jinwu City, and her strength had reached the High-level Chaos Domain Lord Realm. Like the previous Jinwu Lanxin, she was a very outstanding woman.

Cao Yang launched a passionate pursuit of Jinwu Ninger, conquering her heart with his sincerity and charm.

Ultimately, Jinwu Ninger also became Cao Yang's Dao Companion, and Cao Yang thus obtained another 2000 hongmeng sign-in counts as a reward from the System—truly an unexpected delight!

However, unexpectedly, just a few days after Cao Yang had successfully conquered Jinwu Ninger, before he even had time to take action on his next target...

...Jinwu Ninger's grandfather actually brought the Fifth Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan to his door to cause trouble for Cao Yang.

This truly caught people off guard!

It should be noted that previously, after Cao Yang successfully won over Jinwu You, the Clan Chief of the Golden Crow Clan, Jinwu Jie, had a quite unsightly expression.

After all, Jinwu You was his precious daughter, and now she had been so easily "taken down" by Cao Yang. How could he not be annoyed?

But Cao Yang was no pushover either.

He knew well Jinwu Jie's strength and status, so to appease Jinwu Jie's anger, he unhesitatingly gave the chaos supreme artifact Jade Token he wore to Jinwu Jie.

This chaos supreme artifact Jade Token was an extremely precious defensive treasure, possessing endless might and mysterious power.

When Jinwu Jie saw this Jade Token, although he was still somewhat dissatisfied, he also understood that the deed was done, and Cao Yang himself was a powerhouse in the Chaos Emperor Realm with unfathomable strength.

Under these circumstances, he could only helplessly accept reality and stop bickering with Cao Yang.

Actually, another very important reason why Jinwu Jie ultimately chose to compromise was that his daughter, Jinwu You, had developed deep feelings for Cao Yang.

If Cao Yang had forcibly seized his daughter through violent means, Jinwu Jie would have definitely not hesitated to invite a Chaos Emperor Realm Old Ancestor to suppress Cao Yang, never letting him off easily.

However, when the Fifth Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan learned that this guest had actually seduced three of the clan's daughters of heaven in less than a year, she was absolutely furious to the extreme!

These three daughters of heaven were the pride and hope of the Golden Crow Clan, yet they were now being so easily "played with" by Cao Yang. How could the Fifth Ancestor swallow this?

So, as soon as she heard the Second Elder's request to seek justice for his granddaughter Jinwu Ninger, she immediately agreed without hesitation and rushed over non-stop to settle accounts with Cao Yang.

"Palace Master Cao, our Golden Crow Clan has kindly hosted you. Why have you acted so recklessly in my Golden Crow Clan? If you don't give a proper explanation, don't blame me for being merciless." The Fifth Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan hovered in the sky above the Golden Crow Clan, looking down at Cao Yang with a cold face.

The pair of "giant pandas" on her chest were constantly heaving, which was enough to show that this Intermediate Chaos Emperor Realm Golden Crow Clan Old Ancestor was truly enraged.

Cao Yang looked up at the other party's pair of "great weapons" with a look of disbelief.

Just then, the System Loli's voice rang in Cao Yang's mind: "Ding! Target detected for pursuit: Jinwu Ji. Would you like to view?"

Cao Yang thought to himself: "System, view."

Pursuit Target: Jinwu Ji

Realm: Intermediate Chaos Emperor Realm

Charging counts: 0

Reward: 10,000 hongmeng sign-in counts

favorability: -5

How could the other party's favorability toward him actually be negative?

He had only married three of her juniors; was it really necessary for her favorability to be negative? Cao Yang was speechless.

However, Cao Yang hadn't expected that the dignified Fifth Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan was actually still a virgin, which caught Cao Yang very much by surprise.

But Cao Yang felt more surprise than anything else.

If he successfully pursued her, it would be equivalent to pursuing five Jinwu Ningers.

"What? Why is Palace Master Cao not speaking! Could it be that you know you are in the wrong and want to commit suicide to apologize to the heavens!" Jinwu Ji roared in uncontrollable rage, her eyes wide as she stared fixedly at Cao Yang as if they were about to spit fire.

However, to her surprise, Cao Yang actually had no reaction to her questioning, merely staring straight at her with those eyes full of greed. The fire of anger in Jinwu Ji's heart burned even more fiercely; she felt she had been greatly insulted.

"Hmph!" Jinwu Ji snorted coldly and continued to scold, "You shameless scoundrel, do you still want to deny it? The evidence is as solid as a mountain; what else do you have to say?"

Facing Jinwu Ji's accusations, Cao Yang unhurriedly shook his head, a faint smile even appearing at the corners of his mouth.

He said in a leisurely manner, "Miss Jinwu Ji, please don't make false accusations! I haven't forcibly taken your clan's treasures, nor have I stolen anyone from your clan, much less spoken ill of your people. Why would I consider myself in the wrong?"

Seeing the Old Ancestor arrive, the two women in Cao Yang's arms immediately turned bright red with shame and hurriedly buried their faces deep into Cao Yang's chest, as if they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Seeing this, Jinwu Ji trembled with rage, pointing at Cao Yang with a voice that was slightly shaking: "You... you rogue! Utterly shameless! It's clearly your doing, yet you still dare to quibble!"

Just as Jinwu Ji was beside herself with rage, she suddenly discovered that Cao Yang was actually slowly flying up, and his speed was getting faster and faster, reaching the same height as her in the blink of an eye.

"This... how is this possible?" Jinwu Ji's face was full of shock as she looked at Cao Yang in disbelief. "How can you possibly fly within my clan's Clan Protection Array? This is our clan's top-tier Formation."

One must know that the Clan Protection Array was set up by a Transcendence Realm existence. Only those with strength equivalent to the Transcendence Realm could fly within the Formation. Could it be that the Palace Master Cao before her was actually in the Transcendence Realm?

Looking at the other party's horrified expression, Cao Yang was very satisfied.

He didn't like how she had just been cold and high-and-mighty, looking down on him like a queen.
