Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 197 Shen Wudi has arrived! He will rule over the monsters of the China region!

When Shen Yun arrived in Hucheng, the battle was exceptionally fierce.

Fortunately, there were three former members of the Prodigy Club in the city who, together with the city's experts, used two seventh-tier magic weapons to withstand the attacks of a sixth-tier demon wolf and a fifth-tier evil drought demon.

However, this drought demon was truly powerful, managing to send a seventh-tier magic weapon flying all by itself.

There was nothing they could do; the highest-level cultivator in the city was only at the Soul Forging Realm.

Although both sides were of equal strength and had the support of seventh-tier magic weapons, they were unable to unleash the full power of the magic weapons.

Unlike demonic beasts, evil spirits have ancient lineages. For example, the fourth-tier zombie king that Shen Yun once killed was a pyramid-like existence among its kind.

However, with his arrival, everything was set in stone!

As soon as the flying sword appeared, the entire world was covered by its pale blue sword light.

Everyone in the city squinted at that moment, blinded by the light barrier, and cried out in surprise.

"Where did this cultivator come from! Such powerful sword energy!"

"Holy crap! That's Boss Shen's sword! He's here!!"

As the sword flashed, without any suspense, tens of thousands of demonic beasts were slaughtered in an instant!

When the light faded, there were no more demonic beasts in or around the city, only a strong smell of blood permeated the surroundings.

"We won!! We held on!!" Cheers erupted from the city walls and quickly spread throughout the entire lake city.

Even more extreme, some people, looking at Shen Yun's back standing atop the city wall, raised their arms and shouted:

"Haha! Boss Shen is truly invincible!!!"

"Shen Wudi!! Shen Wudi!!!"

'Shen Wudi, what a flattering act...' Shen Yun chuckled and shook his head, then waved his hand, sending a portion of the collected magic treasures and feedback cards into the city wall.

Unfortunately, we did not obtain the Law Gem on this trip.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Shen!" At this moment, the high-ranking military and political officials of Lake City, as well as the person in charge of the Demon Suppression Division, all rushed over gratefully.

"It was nothing." Shen Yun, who had jumped down from the city wall, waved his hand. A young man stepped out from the crowd, anxiously clasping his hands in a fist salute to him.

"Mr. Shen, please save my friend!"

“It’s like this, Mr. Shen.” The captain of the Demon Suppression Division explained, “His name is Wen Feng. He used to be a member of the Tianjiao Club. One of his teammates was poisoned by the drought demon, and we couldn’t cure him.”

Fearing that Shen Yun would be unwilling to help him because he was a member of the club, Wen Feng actually knelt down:

"If we don't go now, things will become stagnant! Mr. Shen, I'm begging you!!"

However, his knees bent halfway down and then became difficult to bring down.

"Lead the way." Shen Yun waved to help him up, and Wen Feng jumped off the city wall without looking back and disappeared, showing how anxious he was.

Soon, the two arrived at the rear supply area.

The cheers outside and the wails inside formed a stark contrast.

The injured are receiving emergency treatment.

When Shen Yun arrived at a temporary bed, he saw a woman covered in tubes, tightly bound to the bed.

Looking at its exposed skin, all of it was covered with purplish-black blood vessels, and even its eyes were black with no whites showing.

At this point, the woman had fallen into a state of unconsciousness. Her violent struggles caused her bound hands and feet to be worn raw, from which foul-smelling black blood flowed.

Seeing Wen Feng arrive, the nurse beside him said helplessly, "The corpse poison has attacked the heart, and there's nothing we can do."

"Xiao Hui!"

"Roar!!!" Wen Feng held the woman's head still, her eyes contorted in a ferocious expression:

"Stay calm! Mr. Shen is here! He can definitely save you! He definitely can!! What should we do now?!"

"Don't panic." Shen Yun waved his hand to seal the woman's heart meridian, preventing her from dying suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, a white light flashed beside him, and a nine-tailed white fox appeared!

Bai Xian'er, who had arrived, stretched out her hand, which emitted a green glow, and hovered above the woman's heart.

Strands of vibrant green energy surged into the opponent's heart, rapidly devouring and clearing away the corpse poison within his body.

In just a few blinks, the purplish-black veins on the woman's body disappeared, and normal red blood flowed from the broken skin on her hands and feet.

Bai Xian'er withdrew her hand and said softly:

"Alright, she'll wake up after just half a day of sleep."

"Phew!" At this moment, Wen Feng's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Before he could wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, he bowed deeply to Shen Yun and Bai Xian'er in gratitude:

"Thank you both for your help! If there is anything I can do to assist you, I will gladly die for you!!"

The woman on the bed was his girlfriend. If it weren't for Shen Yun's appearance, Xiao Hui definitely wouldn't have survived to this day!

This is the poison of a fifth-tier drought demon. With the environment changing so drastically, where can he find high-grade healing pills?

"It's good that you're alright." Shen Yun accepted the bow, then turned and left with Bai Xian'er.

It was just a small favor; there's no need to repay the kindness.

Back then, he received help from passersby in his efforts to save Luo Hongxi's life. This time, it's a relay race across time.

"Brother Yun, there are so many wounded here." Bai Xian'er looked up at him:

"Can I heal them?"

"Of course." Shen Yun smiled and patted her head. "As long as it won't harm you."

"It's alright, Brother Yun, it's nothing to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Xian'er's body erupted with dense green energy, instantly enveloping the entire camp.

All the injured are recovering rapidly.

"Huh?! My broken sternum has actually healed?!"

"Ah!! My eyes! My... Holy crap! I can see again!"

"Look! It's Shen Yun's white fox!!!"

"A fox spirit! It must be a fox spirit!!"

Amidst enthusiastic cheers, Bai Xian'er swayed her nine large tails and walked out of the camp triumphantly.

This gesture was as if it were telling Shen Yun: Praise me, I'm amazing!

"Amazing! Amazing!" Shen Yun laughed as he mounted her.

"Let's go, Xian'er, let's go home."

"Hmm!" Bai Xian'er glanced at the crowd surging around her, then lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew into the void.

During the rush, she casually mentioned, "Brother Yun, is it alright if I want to control the monsters in the China region?"

"Command demonic beasts?" After a moment's thought, Shen Yun realized why Bai Xian'er had kindly intervened earlier.

War inevitably involves casualties!

As a member of the demon race, Bai Xian'er has now reached the ninth level, enough to awe the world. Just as she told the golden-haired monkey, only by being strong enough can the conflict between the two races be quelled.

It's not surprising that she has this thought; otherwise, one would really have to wonder if she is a demon.

Shen Yun didn't rush to answer, but instead asked a question in return:

What do you want to do?

Bai Xian'er organized her thoughts and slowly began to speak:

“Not all demons want to hunt humans or be enemies of human cultivators. Some demons just want to live a peaceful life. I want to settle this group of demons in an area so that they can reproduce and thrive. As for those demons that mainly slaughter humans to collect fortune, I will not restrain them.”

She knew that there were too many treasures on the demonic beasts. If all of them were controlled, the profits of all Chinese cultivators would be greatly reduced, which would cause many people to feel dissatisfied with Shen Yun.

She couldn't let Shen Yun bear the blame because of her own ideas, so she could only take a compromise and protect those weak monsters who wanted to live in peace.

As for those mischievous monsters, let's leave them for humans to loot.

"Great idea! Do what you want to do, I'll support you." Shen Yun patted Bai Xian'er's head, his tone encouraging.

Monsters that don't kill people can't drop feedback cards, magic items, or law gems.

Bai Xian'er's desire to protect her race is innate, and he would not refuse.

Furthermore, this can greatly deter troublesome monsters and reduce casualties in the Huaxia region.

"Is it okay?" Bai Xian'er turned to look at him: "But doing so will affect Brother Yun's interests."

Once those troublesome demonic beasts learn that she, a ninth-tier great demon, has taken action, they will surely restrain themselves.

But this makes it even harder to obtain Law Gems.

Today, neither she nor Shen Yun obtained a Law Gem; the chances are extremely low.

"What's the big deal?" Shen Yun shrugged.

"I believe it won't be long before they know about my previous feat of slaughtering an entire demon army with a single move. Even if you don't intervene, they'll restrain themselves unless they're stupid."

The monsters attacking the city right now are just looters taking advantage of the chaos.

Once the Celestial Master and his companions have inspected and stabilized the various regions, these demonic beasts will become more cautious and won't behave as Xian'er described, as they would because of her.

"Besides, the Stone of Law isn't only obtainable in the China region," Shen Yun said casually.

If his timing is correct, it won't be long before someone triggers a cross-border teleportation mission!

Once the teleportation array is completed, you can travel to various countries in the blink of an eye without having to spend time traveling back and forth.

He can farm monsters from so many surrounding countries, so he's not afraid of not getting gems.
