Upon receiving the news, Xu Tianci flew into a rage on the spot.

It's one thing for the other conglomerates to pounce, but since when do even nameless companies dare to jump in?

What tier do you think you are?

Do you really believe the entire Xu Family is dead to you?!

Though extremely angry, Xu Tianci could no longer afford distractions.

For one, he had to keep an eye on Xu Zisheng's progress. Currently, most of the younger generation of the Xu Family had been wiped out, even his own son died in failure.

Fortunately, the fluctuations from Xu Zisheng's blood cocoon grew increasingly strong, even causing his own heart to flutter when approaching it.

Now, Xu Zisheng's blood cocoon, like an abyssal maw, was greedily devouring the continuous feeding of fierce beast flesh.

On the other hand, several Overlord level teams returning from the Holy City had been dispatched by Xu Tianci to search for Xu Xiaofan's whereabouts.

The wilderness was vast, but based on Xu Xiaofan's previous coordinates over the years, his activity range could roughly be determined.

Simultaneously, he was actively engaging with forces outside the Ninth District.

He was desperate to accumulate his trump cards!

The Xu Family's present glory was all crafted by his own hands!

He didn't want to lose!

He wanted to show Pei Jing through actions.

Not killing me immediately will be the biggest blunder of your life!

On the other side.

Su Qi had just completed a treatment session for the castle's residents, significantly improving their condition; within a day or two, he'd be able to use the Power of Purification to completely remove their contamination traits.

Meanwhile, the cleansing company under Wang Zhen's management was in full swing.

Due to the double price offer for fierce beast carcasses, many freelance Extraordinary Squads naturally chose Su Qi's cleansing company first.

Su Qi would take some time at night to go over and purify all the sorted beast meat.

For now, the acquired fierce beasts weren't too high-level, and he could still manage.

But soon, with the increase in purchase quantity and level, he must quickly enhance his own strength and Purification Ability Level.

However, he was currently cultivating using King level Fierce Beast Crystal Cores, and the speed wasn't slow.

Roughly advancing one minor tier every two days was still acceptable.

Meanwhile, in the castle, those seasoned Overlord level Transcendents, with their rapidly recovering Essence, Qi, and Spirit, couldn't sit still and began to engage with outside information.

Upon learning about the feud between Su Qi and the Xu Family, they immediately called Pei Jing over to give him a tongue-lashing.

"Boss, you've changed."

"You weren't like this before; you were an untouchable force. In the Holy City, no matter how esteemed a person's offspring was, if they crossed you, they'd end up with a bag over their head being thrashed."

"And then tossed right at their doorstep afterward."

"Yeah, we followed you because of that fierce spirit!?"

"Even those who are desperate to join the Holy Sanctuary Clan, you, for crying out loud, just rebelled as you pleased. Your stance when confronting the Saint Master is still fresh in my memory, truly impressive!"

"If I were a woman, I'd have thrown myself at you a long time ago."

"Haha..."

"Get lost." Pei Jing shouted disdainfully, reminiscing about the past; he couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

But now was different from back then.

His every move affected the lives of millions.

As the uncrowned king of the Ninth District, he too was restrained by various forces, like trading interests with some in the Holy City, balancing the financial groups that moved in; all these matters forced him into compromise.

Had he really changed?

Had his edges been smoothed out?

Pei Jing felt not.

He had just hidden the blade in his heart even deeper.

Glancing at Su Qi, who was listening intently, Pei Jing pondered and decided to reveal the existence of Xu Xiaofan.

After all, Su Qi was bold enough to stir up a cleansing company.

Adding one more Apostle level Transcendent wouldn't make much difference.

After hearing it, Su Qi couldn't help but click his tongue in disbelief.

No way.

You mean to say, an Apostle level Transcendent is not widely known, that's too chaotic.

What if someone argues with an old lady on the street?

If the old lady erupts with Destruction-level Transcendent aura, how dangerous would that be?

Nevertheless...

He was fortunate that there seemed to be a rift between Xu Xiaofan and the Xu Family, making it unlikely for the Xu Family to easily wield this blade.

It seemed that until he had enough ability to escape from an Apostle level Transcendent, he shouldn't easily leave Principal Pei's side.

Now at Level Twenty One, hmm... it shouldn't take more than twenty days.

As for going to the cleansing company to purify beast meat...

He must enlist Qiu Ran, it's on the way!

The seasoned comrades in the castle were unconcerned, saying, "A mere Apostle level, we have five here, what waves can he stir up, let's just team up to destroy him."

Su Qi nodded beside them.

Pei Jing, however, shook his head bitterly.

He was his student after all...

He hadn't done anything harmful to the Ninth District.

Moreover, able to contend with the Law Enforcement Officers of the court as an Overlord level back then, who knows what level he's reached now.

What pained him most.

Xu Xiaofan's indeterminate attitude toward the Xu Family.

If Xu Xiaofan really intended to create trouble for the Xu Family, he would turn a blind eye, pretending to see nothing.

If he wanted to reunite with the Xu Family, it wouldn't be this complicated.

But the sporadic traces left by Xu Xiaofan drove Pei Jing to frustration.

Sometimes, doing something reckless can reveal a person's true nature, allowing others to understand them better.

This was also what Pei Jing valued in Su Qi.

At the same time, the Ninth District wasn't exactly tranquil.

Wang Zhen made another move.

Selling premium quality beast meat at half the price!

This news instantly caused an uproar in the Ninth District.

The conglomerates were equally unsettled.

It's fine to play games or make a fuss; if you want to spend to open up a market, we'll watch quietly to see how you perish.

But...

You can't ruin everyone's livelihood!

Your price is lower than our purchasing cost; is it that you think you'll die too slowly or we can't wield the knife?

Thus, no major conglomerate had the mind to fuss over the newly established cleansing company, they all poured in to play along with them to the end.

If you like high-price acquisition, fine, we'll sell all the fierce beasts we've acquired to you, if not enough, we'll organize more to hunt in the wilderness.

If you like low-price sales, I'll buy them all!

Let's see how much money you have to drain, beast meat prices are still transparent to us, however you calculate, this new cleansing company is sure to be losing money!

They wanted to see who dared to play this way!

Even if all the Apostle level Transcendents in the Ninth District united without flipping the table, they still couldn't play it!

At this moment, various families and conglomerates, unprecedentedly united, collectively targeted that nameless cleansing company!

Shoot the bird that sticks its neck out.

The tree that stands out in the forest gets destroyed by the wind!

And although Wang Zhen showed no emotion, he was truly shocked inside.

Because Su Qi had roughly predicted this scenario beforehand and informed him.

So, he silently mourned for the major conglomerates in his heart.

Stop now; you can't outspend a money printer.
