135 – Gu Bei's time
"Hua Ling" went to the Head-Quarters of the Dragonbreath Chamber first, knocking out everyone who was there.
While Xiao Yan started putting soul seals on them, his other body left to bring more and more unconscious merchants and guards from all of the towns around the Endless Wilderness.
As for the slaves, for now they were all transfered to the TDSB.
A few hours later, he had nearly three thousand new underlings who were previously slave-traders, merchants or guards.
Then he went inside of the TDSB with "Hua Ling".
There was around five hundred slaves and they were all young and talented.
His soul seal on the other body was still there, so he tried to use the Supreme Puppet Master's Stone to stop him from being its eleventh body.
It worked, and Hua Ling became a loyal underling like before, just that he was now much stronger.
Xiao Yan then chose the strongest of the Sky Origin Divine Clan slaves and designed him as his new eleventh body.
He was a young adult named Xuan Yu and his cultivation was at the peak of Stage-5 Dao of Dragon.
Putting a hand on the back of Xuan Yu, Xiao Yan circulated his Heavenly Energy through his body and it erased the master-slave contract along with the "curse" of the Sage Emperor within his bloodline.
He also did the same on the other slaves but he didn't free them.
Xiao Yan put his own soul seals instead of using master-slave contracts.
He wasn't a saint who would free any slave in need.
Right now he wanted to use Xuan Yu's body to lead his clan, but for that he would need loyal underlings.
Next, all of the three thousand five hundred new underlings received new cultivation techniques.
They were told along with Hua Ling to listen to Xuan Yu and he gave the latter a lot of money.
When Xiao Yan teleported back to the Skysoul Institute, Xuan Yu started to give orders to buy back all of the Sky Origin Divine Clan slaves within the Draconic Ruins Realm. To those who refused to sell them, Hua Ling would knocked them out and let him put a soul seal on them.
Xuan Yu himself sat down to cultivate with some Gold Spiritual Stone Essences.

Xiao Yan carefully carried the sleeping Ye Ziyun on the same bed as Xiao Ning'er.
Taking off his clothes, he laid on the bed and let the two of their heads on his chest.
While he was admiring their sleeping faces, he put some clothes on his ten clones and they went back to the stone-artifact.
As the two woke up, they blushed hard as they thought of their previous night.
To tease them, Xiao Yan sighed and said, "I never thought that my fiancees were such perverts…".
That made them even more embarrassed.
——————————
The same group who was at the banquet last night went to do some shopping in the Mingshan Stronghold, the Divine Feathers Sect's center for trading.
They went to the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, the largest Artifacts trading company of the stronghold.
Xiao Yan could have given them some of the artifacts he found in the Void Illusionary Divine Palace, but he wanted to spend some time with everyone.
After everyone was clad in Rank 6 artifacts, the highest rank available in the shop, they went to the Martial Field of the Skysoul Institute.
It was now Gu Bei's time!
——————————
All of the arenas were occupied by the students of the six sects, each surrounded by its own crowd.
Xiao Yan's group went to the arena currently used by the Gu Clan.
The newcomers of the clan were sparring and there were even some elders watching.
Noticing Gu Bei and his group, the members of the clan made way for them and started gossiping about the wealth he displayed at the auction.
Gu Heng was in the spotlight, so he had no choice but to greet them politely.
Gu Bei also acted like him, but his friends ignored the arrogant fool, earning them a death glare from the latter.
He then baited Gu Heng to let him spar against his underlings.
The fool was too arrogant to see that it was a trap.
First, Gu Bei knocked his opponent out of the arena in one blow, holding back enough to not kill him.
Gu Ya, the first elder and also one of Gu Lan's supporters, got excited when he saw this.
He couldn't detect any heavenly energy from Gu Bei, so he first thought that he didn't even step in the Heavenly Fate Realm.
{That's right! Even if Gu Lan still holds something against us, she wouldn't let the clan fall just because of Gu Yu and Gu Heng, she must have understood that we had no choice but to close our eyes on her poisoning back then}
{She couldn't possibly know that Gu Yan could heal her, so she must have long prepared Gu Bei to fight Gu Heng…}
{To be able to hide his cultivation in front of me, there's no doubt that she's the one who put some inscriptions on him}
{And since he made so much noise yesterday, it must mean that he is now ready}
{She surely asked Gu Yan's help as well, since Xiao Yan and some of the other newcomers from the Tiny World are also here}
The more he thought, the more Gu Ya became excited.
He told Gu Heng to send one underling after another, each time the one sent was one cultivation stage higher than the previous one.
Everyone was shocked that this could continue until someone at the peak of 9-Star Heavenly Star was also defeated in one blow.
Right now, most of the elders knew that Gu Bei came to reveal his strength.
Since he already got their attention, there was no longer a need to spar with the underlings.
Gu Bei looked at Gu Heng, smiled and said, "Elder cousin Gu Heng, looks like your underlings aren't strong enough to spar with me. Is it possible to learn a few moves from you?"
