Through the Large Formation, he saw the White Winged Tiger that had been chasing him just now, currently locked in battle with his Poisonous Bees.
Wang Hong was originally proficient in formations, and with a little thought, he had already figured out the operating principles of this formation.
He tried to probe his Divine Sense into one of the array plates in front of him, mobilizing the Spiritual Energy within the formation, and activating one of its offensive formations.
Soon, a powerful thunder force formed above the Large Formation.
The White Winged Tiger, currently battling the Poisonous Bees, only had time to hear a "boom" before a huge thunderbolt struck down, turning the winged tiger into charred remains within its own formation.
Following this, Wang Hong repeated the same technique. Whenever he discovered a relatively powerful Demonic Beast, he would bring down a thunderbolt to slay it.
After a moment, within the territory of the Winged Tiger Clan, there were no longer any high-tier Demonic Beasts.
Originally, Wang Hong had only intended to gather a few Spiritual Herbs from the Winged Tiger Clan, but then he felt that there was potential for more and ended up plundering the treasure trove and the cave mansion of the winged tiger ancestor.
Now, inadvertently, he had ended up slaying all of the high-tier Demonic Beasts that remained in the Winged Tiger Clan's territory.
Since things had developed to this point, he felt it best to thoroughly clean up the area.
In any case, he didn't need to take action anymore. After consecutive battles, he had released over twenty thousand Poisonous Bees, and now there were still around fifteen thousand left.
Wang Hong ordered the remaining Poisonous Bees to fully attack the remaining Demonic Beasts of the Winged Tiger Clan.
Since even the Demonic Beasts of the Winged Tiger Clan had been exterminated, Wang Hong carefully searched the area again, taking anything that could be taken. Whether good or bad, everything was taken away. The Great Chu Immortal Nation was vast, and anything brought back could be put to use.
Finally, only the protective mountain Large Formation remained. It was truly difficult to move, and dismantling it for materials alone would take at least ten days to half a month. He only removed the array plate of the hub and some relatively easy-to-remove materials.
After completing all of this, Wang Hong retracted the Poisonous Bees and, looking at the bare territory of the Winged Tiger Clan, seemingly satisfied, he nodded quietly and left without a sound.
Three days later, the ancestor of the Winged Tiger Clan transformed into a rainbow light and hurriedly descended to his own territory.
The desolate land that met his eyes seemed very unfamiliar, giving him an extremely unreal feeling.
The ancestor of the winged tiger let out a roar, spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
"Whoever you are, my Winged Tiger Clan swears to crush you and extract your soul!"
After leaving the territory of the Winged Tiger Clan, Wang Hong changed his appearance again, still suppressing his cultivation level to that of a third-tier.
He changed direction several times along the way, and only when he was sure there was no pursuit did he quietly return to the territory of the Great Chu Immortal Nation.
This operation had lasted for more than two years, successfully achieving its goal without exposing his identity.
The only one who knew about this was Gan Tao, an undercover agent of the immortal way trading company. When the news spread, he began to vaguely speculate.
To possess such means, one must at least be a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and currently, there was only one Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Great Chu Immortal Nation.
He never expected that he had the fortune to spend more than two years with the king of the Great Chu Immortal Nation.
When he retired in the future, he could boast about this for hundreds of years to come.
After returning to the territory of the Great Chu Immortal Nation, Wang Hong slowed down his pace. He had been away for two years, and it was a good opportunity to take a look at his own territory.
The Great Chu Immortal Nation had been established for a short time, and its population was severely lacking, with the majority concentrated in King's City and the four major county cities.
In other areas, only a very small number of Cultivators were stationed, mainly in places with rich mineral veins and Medium-sized Spiritual Sites.
For these Spiritual Sites, aside from a small number of stationed Cultivators, all other tasks such as mining, cultivating spirit fields, and planting Spiritual Herbs were completed by hired Mortals.
In the Great Chu Immortal Nation, Mortals also held the status of citizens. Therefore, the hired Mortals received the appropriate rewards for their work.
"Today, in the eyes of mortals, there is nothing better than becoming an immortal cultivator or a martial artist. Various spiritual sites, when hiring mortals, offer rewards that include spirit meals made from demonic beast meat and the chance to obtain high-quality essence core pills with a little effort.
These are essential resources for becoming a martial artist. As for martial cultivation techniques, the Great Chu Immortal Nation has not kept them secret but has instead freely promoted them to all citizens. Wang Hong wandered around various spiritual sites within the Great Chu Immortal Nation and found that they were all now on the right track.
The mortal miners recruited could each carry a hundred or two hundred pounds of ore with ease. The spiritual sites claimed by the human clan within the nation's borders actually only make up a minority. The vast majority of spiritual sites and territories are playgrounds for demonic beast activity.
However, these demonic beasts are all within controllable limits, considered wild demonic beasts raised outdoors. The main issue now is the insufficient population, which prevents complete occupation of the vast territories. Additionally, these demonic beasts can be used for military training.
During his travels, Wang Hong has seen many mortals in groups going to hunt and kill demonic beasts. The scattered low-tier demonic beasts within the nation's borders happen to meet this demand. After wandering around the nation's borders, Wang Hong finally entered Yunxia County.
In just two years, Yunxia County has become much livelier than before, with many low-tier martial artists now visible on the streets. While he was strolling here, he happened to see a large flying boat landing in Yunxia County, and the people coming and going seemed accustomed to it.
At that moment, two mortals passing by him were discussing and preparing to board the flying boat to King's City. Wang Hong was intrigued and decided to join them on the trip to King's City to experience it for himself.
He found the place specifically managing the transportation of the flying boat and inquired, 'Excuse me, when does the flying boat to King's City depart?'
'The flying boat to King's City departs once every five days. It can depart this afternoon, and the fare is only ten spirit stones per person.'
'I happen to be going to King's City. Here are ten spirit stones.'
Wang Hong paid the ten spirit stones and was arranged to wait in a flying boat. Upon observation, he found that the interior space of the flying boat was extremely large, accommodating around five hundred people. It should be the new transportation flying boat designed by Chen Xiaofeng.
His seatmate was a very talkative old man who kept chatting with Wang Hong.
'Young man, what are you going to do in King's City this time?' the old man asked Wang Hong.
'I live in King's City, and this time I'm just here for a visit,' Wang Hong replied honestly. Although he was over a hundred years old and much older than the old man, there was no need to reveal that.
'Ah, you're so young. You should focus on diligent cultivation and learning, contribute to the Great Chu Immortal Nation, and then you will have a bright future.'
When people get old, they like to impart life experiences and teach the younger generation.
'Thank you! I've been traveling for two years, and this time I plan to return to King's City to focus on cultivation for a while.'
Seeing that the old man meant well, Wang Hong politely expressed his gratitude.
The old Daoist's talkativeness couldn't be easily stopped. He felt that Wang Hong was the kind of young person who had some savings at home and then went out to play without thinking about progress. With decades of life experience, he had seen many young people like this."
