Chapter 591: Famous in the Divine Maiden River Region

Some Tribulation realm mighty figures easily break their promises because they know they have no hope of improving their strength and therefore don't care about being entangled by karma.

However, the promises of those like Cave Lord Jingyun, who have the potential to reach the Six Tribulation realm, are trustworthy.

"Whoosh."

Meng Chuan withdrew the array, and with his soul world enveloping the area, he began dismantling every part of the 'Yin-Yang Great World Array.' While setting it up was difficult, requiring absolute precision, dismantling it was quick! Large numbers of array components flew up and were casually collected by Meng Chuan.

"City Lord," Cave Lord Jingyun said, having resumed his human form. He was now similar in height to Meng Chuan, though still robust. He slightly cupped his hands and continued, "I will follow you for the next ten thousand years, which means I cannot oversee the Quyun River System. Many of the 'Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents' in the Quyun River System will struggle to find a suitable place to live for a while. May I ask if my kin can reside on Qianshan Star?"

It was fine when he was present to oversee them.

Without him, hundreds of Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents would attract many powerful individuals seeking to plunder them, as a single adult Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpent is worth hundreds of fang.

"Yes," Meng Chuan decided with a nod. "I will designate half of Qianshan Star's area, constrained by an array, where your kin can live. However, you know my temperament: if any of your kin engage in further plundering, I will execute them without hesitation."

"Thank you, City Lord!" Cave Lord Jingyun exclaimed, overjoyed. He quickly added, "Please rest assured, City Lord. If any dare to violate your rules, I will personally slay them; you won't need to act."

Although Qianshan Star is slightly smaller than Serpent Demon Star and Jingyun Star, it still has a diameter of 3.9 million li. Even half of its area is more than enough for the Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents to live and thrive.

"I'll go now to apprehend those few who slipped through the net," Cave Lord Jingyun immediately declared.

Of the dozen or so Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents who had engaged in plundering in the Sanwan River System, most had been captured by Meng Chuan, with only a few remaining at large. Cave Lord Jingyun showed no leniency toward them.

Rules within the clan were inherently strict.

For the sake of hundreds of his kin, sacrificing a few was a natural and decisive choice for Cave Lord Jingyun.

Persistent plundering could easily provoke a powerful cultivator seeking revenge! Every 'plunderer' knew of this danger, yet they continued, some due to their nature, but more often because the immense spoils of plundering drove them to a frenzy.

As the leader of a branch of his clan, Cave Lord Jingyun allowed his kin to choose their own paths. However, if plundering attracted a formidable enemy, the plunderers themselves had to bear the consequences, ensuring the entire clan wasn't dragged down with them.

That very day, Cave Lord Jingyun prepared everything and brought a total of three hundred and fifty-five 'Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents' to Qianshan Star. A very small number of Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents were unwilling to come and went their separate ways.

"Qianshan Star."

"Is this where we'll live from now on?"

"Cave Lord said an Eternal Tower branch will be built here, too. It'll be very lively."

The hundreds of Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents, now in human form, quietly conversed among themselves. Many were still in their infancy or adolescence, filled with curiosity and anticipation for their future lives.

"Take them and settle them all in," Cave Lord Jingyun instructed.

"Yes, Cave Lord."

Five Four-Tribulation realm Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents respectfully responded and immediately led their kin swooping down. Qianshan Star had already been divided into designated areas.

Soon, many juvenile and adult Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents revealed their true forms, swimming in the waters and rolling on the land, all seeming quite content.

Meng Chuan watched the scene from afar, a slight smile on his face. With this group of Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents, Qianshan Star felt much livelier.

Cave Lord Jingyun watched everything, feeling much more at ease as well.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Zhong Yu and Pang Feng, both Three-Tribulation realm cultivators, flew over.

"City Lord," Zhong Yu and Pang Feng said with utmost respect. At the same time, they couldn't help but glance at Cave Lord Jingyun and then at the Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents scattered across the distant land.

"Jingyun," Meng Chuan said, gesturing to the other two beside him, "These are Zhong Yu and Pang Feng. They are also my followers. They primarily handle the many trivial matters of Dongning City. You won't usually need to concern yourself with affairs, but if they encounter trouble... they will ask for your intervention."

"Understood," Cave Lord Jingyun replied, a burden lifted from his mind.

As one of the top Five-Tribulation realm mighty figures, he naturally preferred not to worry about every small detail.

"Greetings, Cave Lord Jingyun," Zhong Yu and Pang Feng said, barely concealing their excitement as they respectfully saluted. They had already received Meng Chuan's message beforehand, informing them of the detailed arrangements for the future, which filled them with awe. The outside world had been worried that the City Lord's actions against Serpent Demon Star would anger Cave Lord Jingyun. Who would have thought that Cave Lord Jingyun would now come to follow their City Lord? If this news spread, it would surely shock the entire River of Goddesses.

On Scarlet Serpent Star in the River of Goddesses, which was also the Eternal Tower's headquarters in the River of Goddesses region.

"Ancestor, Dongning in the Sanwan River System has cleared out the plundering forces within its river system. The next step should be to establish an Eternal Tower branch there," Chi Jiuxin said respectfully, handing over a golden scroll.

The Scarlet Serpent Star Master was very gaunt, his body shriveled, and his face full of wrinkles. Yet, his eyes were cold and his unseen aura made Chi Jiuxin's heart tremble.

This clan leader of the Scarlet Serpent race was renowned throughout the River of Spacetime and possessed extremely formidable strength.

Eighty percent of the Scarlet Serpent clan's status relied on this 'Scarlet Serpent Star Master.' Without him, the Scarlet Serpent clan's living environment would immediately worsen, and their population would shrink significantly.

With him present, all factions had to reconsider their actions when facing the Scarlet Serpent clan.

"Oh? Jingyun is following him too?" The Scarlet Serpent Star Master said, a hint of surprise in his voice as he looked at the golden scroll.

"Yes, Dongning reported having cleared the plundering forces, and the Eternal Tower verified his claims, confirming them to be accurate. Furthermore, Cave Lord Jingyun has been quite respectful toward Dongning on Qianshan Star, even moving over three hundred Eight-Headed Star-Devouring Serpents there," Chi Jiuxin explained.

The Scarlet Serpent Star Master nodded slightly: "To be able to gain Jingyun's allegiance, this young one from Cangyuan World certainly has some methods. Pay close attention to him."

"Understood," Chi Jiuxin respectfully replied.

"Very well, I have no objections. Permission granted to establish an Eternal Tower branch," the Scarlet Serpent Star Master nodded.

"Yes," Chi Jiuxin responded.

Chi Jiuxin usually handled daily affairs, but establishing a new branch still required reporting to the Ancestor.

The Ancestor was the nominal head of the Eternal Tower's River of Goddesses branch.

"Qianshan Star in the Sanwan River System is about to establish an Eternal Tower branch? And they've invited us to build a separate residence?" An elderly man with purple hair and eyebrows received the news from Chi Jiuxin.

While the Eternal Tower branch was the core of Dongning City, there were also other trading establishments.

Many official members of the Eternal Tower engaged in business, either to earn Yuanjing or Eternal Tower contributions.

"Cave Lord Jingyun has moved his entire clan to Qianshan Star and is following this Dongning City Lord?" The purple-haired, purple-browed elder found the news from Chi Jiuxin somewhat incredible. "Why would Cave Lord Jingyun do such a thing?"

"What? Cave Lord Jingyun is following a Five-Tribulation realm cultivator? This Five-Tribulation realm cultivator is called City Lord Dongning? A newcomer?" An alien Five-Tribulation realm cultivator, whose entire body was covered in fur except for a pair of gleaming dark eyes, widened his eyes before nodding slightly. "It seems I'll have to go to the Sanwan River System to establish a branch store and pay a visit to this City Lord Dongning along the way."

"How is that possible?"

"What's the background of this City Lord Dongning?"

Although the River of Goddesses was vast and expansive, there were only about a thousand Five-Tribulation realm cultivators, making their circle relatively small.

The explosive news spread rapidly throughout the entire River of Goddesses, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred!

Cave Lord Jingyun was extremely renowned among the Five-Tribulation realm cultivators in the River of Goddesses. How could he possibly be following a newly emerged Five-Tribulation realm cultivator?

"City Lord Dongning."

The Five-Tribulation realm cultivators of the River of Goddesses all firmly remembered this name.

While Meng Chuan's previous entry into the Eternal Tower had merely informed the various factions in the River of Goddesses that a Five-Tribulation realm cultivator specializing in both body and soul cultivation existed, now... Meng Chuan had become a figure of great prominence! After all, having 'Cave Lord Jingyun' as a follower was truly shocking.
