A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 14

After taking in Wu Hu, Wu Hao continued his journey toward the Central Region. Along the way, he occasionally took the opportunity to save some innocent people, which was just a matter of convenience for him. However, rumors began to spread in the Southern Region about a Nameless Ranger.

“Hey, have you heard? There’s a Nameless Ranger appearing in our Southern Region. If you find yourself in danger, the Nameless Ranger will come to your rescue.”

“I’ve heard. Apparently, even Saint-level warriors can’t withstand a single move from that Nameless Ranger.”

“Wow, that’s terrifying! I want to find the Nameless Ranger and become his disciple.”

At that moment, Wu Hao was unaware that his unwitting deeds had started to stir up what was once stagnant in the Southern Region.

On the other hand, Sunset City was naturally under the reign of an Imperial Dynasty, known as the Li Dynasty. At this time, the Lord of the Li Dynasty, a Supreme-level powerhouse, frowned slightly as he listened to the advice from his ministers, his brow furrowing a bit more.

He had certainly heard about the Nameless Ranger; someone who could defeat even Saints with a single blow must be at least a Great Saint level cultivator, and a wild talent like that was definitely someone they would want to recruit into the Li Dynasty.

“Well, judging from the behavior of this Nameless Ranger, he should be a person with a sense of justice. If possible, we should bring him under our Li Dynasty to hold an important position.”

“Does anyone have anything else to say? If there’s nothing else, then the court can be dismissed.”

The Lord of the Li Dynasty waved his hand, intending to announce the dismissal of the court.

But just then, a minister stood up and bowed respectfully.

“Your Majesty, are you aware of the rapidly rising Wu Commerce Association?”

Upon hearing the name Wu Commerce Association, the Lord of the Li Dynasty couldn’t help but furrow his brow, and he inquired, “What is that?”

Before long, the Lord of the Li Dynasty, Li Xukun, learned about the Wu Commerce Association from the minister, and his brow furrowed even deeper as he questioned further.

“Are you saying that in less than a hundred years, the Wu Commerce Association has rapidly risen to dominate over half of the entire Southern Region’s commerce?”

“That’s right. And based on what I’ve learned, the strongest of the Wu Commerce Association only has three Supreme, initial-stage Saints at their disposal. Such an industry is likely unsustainable for them. It would be better for Your Majesty to suggest that the Wu Commerce Association merge under our Li Dynasty.”

The minister proposed this, causing Li Xukun’s brow to furrow slightly. After a long pause, he finally spoke.

“Let me consider this matter. The court may be dismissed for now.”

Before long, the vast palace was left with only Li Xukun. It was then that he waved his hand, and in the next moment, two figures at the peak of the Saint level appeared beside him.

Both of them were shrouded in an impenetrable black cloth, and they were members of the Shadow Agents under Li Xukun, specialized in doing various underhanded tasks for him.

“You two, one of you investigate the recently emerged Nameless Ranger, and the other look into the recent Wu Commerce Association. If there isn’t a powerful presence behind the Wu Commerce Association, then bring them in as a subsidiary of my Li Dynasty.”

Li Xukun rested his chin on one hand, lightly tapping the dragon armrest with the other, simply deciding the matters of the Wu Commerce Association and Nameless Ranger.

As the two Shadow Agents disappeared, a hint of amusement showed on Li Xukun’s face.

“The Wu Commerce Association? I hope there aren’t any other dynasties behind them; otherwise, I wouldn’t mind exterminating you.”

In the Southern Region, there were three dynasties that were equally matched with the Li Dynasty, which were the Divine Dynasty, Unbeatable Dynasty, and Flourishing Dynasty.

The relationship among the four dynasties could only be described as temporarily at peace, but if the three dynasties dared to extend their hands into the territory of the Li Dynasty, Li Xukun would not hesitate to chop off their hands.

Meanwhile, Wu Hao was still unaware of what was happening on this side. Although he was mainly enjoying himself, he was still moving quickly and soon arrived in the thriving Central Region with Wu Hu.

“So this is the Central Region? It’s certainly much more prosperous than the Southern Region.”

It’s worth noting that cultivators at the Golden Core stage were extremely rare in the Southern Region, but in the Central Region, nearly twenty out of a hundred people were at the Golden Core stage, showcasing how much stronger the Central Region’s foundation was compared to the other four regions.

But what did that matter to Wu Hao? He came to the Central Region just to find his wife; everything else was irrelevant to him.

Perched on Wu Hao’s shoulder, Wu Hu happily looked around. As for her cultivation, with Wu Hao’s ample resources, she had already broken through to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

After all, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox had its limits; as long as resources were poured in, the speed of her breakthrough was quite rapid and stable.

“Alright, Wu Hu, we have things to do. Let’s first look for any channels we can use.”

After saying this, Wu Hao began to contemplate the next course of action. Since he had no idea where his wife was, rashly searching could likely cause her unnecessary trouble.

The best approach would be to find a powerful yet not overwhelmingly strong force to discreetly search for her; that would be far more efficient than flailing around like a headless chicken.

However, just as Wu Hao was about to seek out such a force, he sensed something and looked in surprise in a certain direction.

Across the vast expanse of space, he saw Wu Yifan, who had just arrived in the Central Region. At that moment, Wu Yifan appeared to be in a dire situation, being chased by three Initial Stage Saint Kings. Yet, thanks to the assistance of the Ancient Sacred Body, he was currently out of immediate danger, though he looked somewhat disheveled.

“Forget it, that’s something the Child of Destiny needs to go through. Let him handle it himself; it’s not as if he’s in any real danger.”

Wu Hao shook his head and then disappeared into the crowd with Wu Hu.

Meanwhile, Wu Yifan was fuming, nearly cursing at the heavens for his predicament. What was going on? He had barely arrived in the Central Region and was already being pursued by those three Initial Stage Saint Kings.

However, given that the seal on his Ancient Sacred Body had been lifted, he was confident that he could escape if he chose to.

“Damn it, you wait for me! Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west; the grudge of today, I will repay a hundredfold in the future!”

Wu Yifan glared fiercely at the three behind him, then vanished before their very eyes.

Witnessing this, the three Initial Stage Saint Kings suddenly turned pale. They never expected that the last time they met, they had easily wounded Wu Yifan, and this time he was able to escape from their grasp.

What if they met again in the future? Would Wu Yifan, then, be able to kill them?

“We can’t let this drag on any longer; we need to report this to the Holy Son as soon as possible. If the opponent becomes stronger, we will really have no way to handle it.”
