Drinking was naturally just an excuse to find a place to explain the matter of the Other Shore Flower to Wang Junze.

"The Other Shore Flower is a unique wonder of the Netherworld Sea, maturing once every three years. Each time, it bears nine blossoms, and each blossom incites a frenzy of competition. It can be said that every time the Other Shore Flower matures, it triggers a brutal battle."

In the elegant chamber of the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Building, the Master of All Things slowly explained while sipping on his wine.

"What is the function of the Other Shore Flower?"

Unable to resist, Wang Junze pressed for more information.

"Two uses!" Extending two fingers, the Master of All Things explained: "Firstly, it refines the Divine Soul, greatly aiding even those at the Divine Travel stage."

"Secondly... it can purify the effects caused by consuming the Blood Spirit Pill!"

"Hmm?"

Wang Junze's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately responded: "So, the Blood Spirit Pill indeed has hidden dangers?"

"Of course!"

Nodding, the Master of All Things replied as if it were obvious: "The Blood Spirit Pill is refined from the essence blood and divine souls of humans or the Demon Race. Such a heaven-defying method could never be flawless."

Shaking his head, the Master of All Things continued to explain: "After consuming the Blood Spirit Pill, a blood-colored impurity remains in the divine soul. If consumed excessively, it can easily lead to loss of control over the divine soul, resulting in a Fallen Demon state!"

"However, demonic cultivators always seek rapid advancement in their cultivation, and even knowing the risks, they will still consume large quantities of the Blood Spirit Pill!"

"Thus, many demonic cultivators, after consuming the Blood Spirit Pill, even if their realm reaches a certain level, dare not attempt a breakthrough easily!"

"Yet, if they have the Other Shore Flower, it can perfectly dissolve the impurities in the divine soul, eliminating the hidden dangers of the Blood Spirit Pill. Thus... all those who have consumed the Blood Spirit Pill will stop at nothing to seize the Other Shore Flower."

No wonder it's so sought after!

Wait a minute, could it be that Dugu Feng wants the Other Shore Flower because she has consumed a large number of Blood Spirit Pills?

Wang Junze naturally remembered that Dugu Feng was previously only at the Void Shattering stage, but when he saw her before, the pressure he felt was clearly already at the Divine Travel stage, likely achieved through the Blood Spirit Pill.

However, given Dugu Feng's character, she surely wouldn't pin all her hopes on herself.

Wait a minute, suddenly realizing something, Wang Junze's face slightly changed.

"No, if that's the case, wouldn't there be many Divine Travel powerhouses participating in the scramble?"

Though confident in his own strength, Wang Junze hadn't become so arrogant as to ignore the Divine Travel powerhouses. If many Divine Travel powerhouses were to join the fray, it would be difficult to even preserve his own life, let alone seize the Other Shore Flower.

"Brother Ye is overthinking it!"

Shaking his head, the Master of All Things answered softly: "The Netherworld Sea is different from other places, with many special areas where the higher one's cultivation, the more constraints one faces and cannot move freely."

"The island where the Other Shore Flower is located is such a place."

"Once a Divine Travel powerhouse sets foot on the island, their divine soul will be corroded, lightly damaging their soul so they can't exert their strength, or more severely, causing them to become a Fallen Demon!"

Hearing this, Wang Junze finally felt relieved.

If it was only beneath the Divine Travel stage, he was somewhat confident.

"By the way, that masked man you killed earlier was backed by Miss Fang. Her influence in the Netherworld Sea is not much weaker than Dugu Feng's. Since you've shown your face, you need to be careful of her retaliation."

Sipping his wine, the Master of All Things continued, "After all, until you retrieve the Other Shore Flower, Dugu Feng will not protect you."

"Thank you for the reminder, I noted it," Wang Junze expressed his gratitude once more.

"Haha, no need to be courteous; now that we've discussed business, we should find some beauties to accompany us in our drinking."

Laughing, the Master of All Things clapped his hands, and the door to the elegant chamber opened. In no time, several beautiful women walked in with smiling faces, warmly joining the two of them.

To be honest, Wang Junze was somewhat unaccustomed to this, but in such circumstances, he naturally couldn't show weakness. He had to brace himself, put an arm around a lady, and play along.

The night passed without another word.

Early the next morning, when Wang Junze returned to the Meng household, Peng Ru had already taken care of everything.

Everyone in the Meng household, including Meng Meng, was thoroughly dealt with by Peng Ru.

Even Wang Junze could not help but be a bit moved by this outcome.

It should be noted that the Meng Mansion was not only composed of cultivators; there were some women and children as well, who were considered innocent. Wang Junze had Peng Ru handle this with the thought of being lenient, assuming Peng Ru would find an excuse to spare these people.

But to his surprise, Peng Ru's methods were so ruthless, truly wiping out everyone.

Undoubtedly, after the previous events, Peng Ru's disposition had already changed. She was no longer the pure disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect she once was.

In fact, in a place like the Netherworld Sea, only with such methods can one better survive.

Perhaps Peng Ru still harbored a bit of intention to prove her loyalty, given that in Peng Ru's eyes, Wang Junze was undoubtedly a demonic cultivator, and his methods and disposition were exceedingly ruthless.

Sighing softly in his heart, Wang Junze didn't know whether Peng Ru's transformation was good or bad.

"Go to the inn and bring everyone else over."

Wearing a satisfied expression, Wang Junze casually instructed: "In a while, the Master of All Things will send someone to settle the Meng Mansion's assets, and you can watch over it together and report back to me."

"Yes!"

Having arranged these matters, Wang Junze immediately turned and entered the inner residence to rest.

Having taken over the Meng Mansion, there shouldn't be any trouble before heading out to sea to search for the Other Shore Flower, but more preparation was still necessary.

...

The news spread quickly.

The news of Ye Piaoling killing Meng Hailong, taking over the Meng household, and pledging allegiance to Dugu Feng spread through Netherworld City the same day.

Countless people were inquiring about Wang Junze's news. The rise of such a new figure undoubtedly presented an opportunity for others. If they could seize the chance to seek refuge, wouldn't that be equivalent to aligning with Dugu Feng?

For a time, many demonic cultivators sought an audience.

However, Wang Junze paid them no attention, leaving everything to Peng Ru to handle.

But it wasn't long before the jade talisman on Wang Junze lit up.

Pei Haoran!

Previously, that little fat guy had heard that Wang Junze arrived in Netherworld City and finally sent a message.

"Interesting... I wonder what this little fat guy's true identity is."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Wang Junze immediately formulated an idea.

Didn't that little fat guy say he wanted to do another big job?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, persuading him to join in and venture out to sea to seize the Other Shore Flower seemed like a great plan.

In the previous battle, whether in terms of strength or methods, this little fat guy wasn't weak, and considering his potential background, he was undoubtedly the best partner.

Thinking of this, Wang Junze directly used the jade talisman to reply, inviting the other party to the Meng Mansion for discussions.
