"Soon, I'll be able to copy talents again in a few days!"
Ye Ningze began to look forward to it while cultivating.
During this period, Ye Ningze cultivated while also guiding his sister's cultivation beside her.
However, Ye Ningze gradually found that his cultivation resources were no longer sufficient.
Because he possessed high-level cultivation talent, he refined the blood of ferocious beasts at an extremely fast rate.
"I've stayed at the base for quite some time this time. It's time to go hunt ferocious beasts!" Ye Ningze mused.
To accelerate their cultivation progress, martial artists needed to use the blood of ferocious beasts.
As a martial artist with high-level cultivation talent, Ye Ningze was matched with intermediate-grade ferocious beast blood.
This kind of cultivation resource was difficult to obtain, even in the black market.
Moreover, trading in the black market required money. With Ye Ningze's current strength at the Grandmaster realm, there was no need for that.
One day.
Ye Ningze tidied himself up briefly, informed his sister Ye Yuhan, and then set off for the Sunset Forest.
"So many people. Where did all these elite martial artists come from?"
On the way, Ye Ningze noticed a large group of martial artists heading towards Qingcheng Base in batches.
Among these martial artists, most were at the elite martial artist level.
They carried large bags and packages, and it was vaguely discernible that they contained cultivation resources and daily necessities.
"Could these be martial artists from Wolf Lord Base?"
Ye Ningze guessed to himself.
Ye Ningze was aware that Wolf Lord Base and Qingcheng Base had opened trade routes some time ago.
However, he did not expect Wolf Lord Base to send so many elite martial artists at once.
"Judging by their appearance, they don't seem to be here for trade."
Although it was strange, Ye Ningze didn't think much of it and passed by them.
On the other side, in the Sun family courtyard.
Sun Zhimen, the head of the Sun family, and Sun Ruhu were discussing something.
"Big brother, our spies sent to Wolf Lord Base have returned. I truly didn't expect it to be like this," Sun Ruhu said.
Hearing this, Sun Zhimen asked, "What did the spies say? What exactly are the people from Wolf Lord Base planning?"
Sun Ruhu did not answer directly but instead asked Sun Zhimen, "Big brother, do you know that Wolf Lord Base has just dispatched dozens of elite martial artists?"
"I heard about this from the butler," Sun Zhimen nodded. "But does this information matter?"
"Yes," Sun Ruhu affirmed.
"The reason Wolf Lord Base wants to open trade routes with us is to relocate their entire clan!"
"What?!"
Sun Zhimen was shocked to hear Sun Ruhu's words.
He had considered many possibilities, but he had never imagined that Wolf Lord Base would want to move to Qingcheng Base.
After all, Qingcheng Base was more scarce in resources and had lower-level ferocious beasts compared to Wolf Lord Base.
Why would Wolf Lord Base abandon their perfectly good medium-sized base and come to their Qingcheng Base?
"Why are the martial artists from Wolf Lord Base coming to our base? What are they after?"
Sun Zhimen asked, utterly perplexed.
"Big brother, you don't know," Sun Ruhu explained. "Under normal circumstances, Wolf Lord Base would naturally not fancy this desolate and poor place. But times have changed!"
"Alas! A ferocious beast that is about to advance to the Supreme realm suddenly appeared near a ferocious beast swarm close to Wolf Lord Base. The martial artists of Wolf Lord Base couldn't defeat it, so they had no choice but to consider relocating their entire clan to our base," Sun Ruhu sighed heavily.
"So that's how it is!" Sun Zhimen finally understood the whole story after hearing Sun Ruhu's explanation.
Although Wolf Lord Base was a medium-sized base, it had two transcendent martial artists and over a dozen Grandmaster martial artists.
However, when facing a Supreme realm ferocious beast, they were still helpless.
"Since they discovered the ferocious beast swarm, didn't the martial artists of Wolf Lord Base seek help from larger bases?" Sun Zhimen immediately asked again.
Sun Ruhu shook his head and said, "The martial artists of Wolf Lord Base had already requested help from several large bases, but they simply couldn't be bothered to get involved!"
"After all, it's a Supreme realm ferocious beast, and Wolf Lord Base is just a medium-sized base. Who would undertake such a thankless task?"
Hearing this, Sun Zhimen's brows furrowed, and his expression turned grim.
Not only Sun Zhimen, the head of the family, but also the Sun family members who had been quietly waiting below were also dejected.
Upon learning that the martial artists from Wolf Lord Base were coming, everyone's expression was far from pleasant.
It was known that although Wolf Lord Base could not contend with a Supreme beast, they were more than capable of dealing with their Sun family.
Once the martial artists of Wolf Lord Base settled in Qingcheng Base, the power structure of the entire base would be reshuffled.
At that time, the Sun family would no longer be the rulers of the base.
"Why don't we drive away the martial artists from Wolf Lord Base?" Sun Tian suggested.
"No!" Sun Zhimen immediately rejected the proposal.
"We have already signed an agreement with Wolf Lord Base. If we do this, it would be a breach of contract, and they would then have an excuse to take action against our Sun family!"
"Now, the martial artists from Wolf Lord Base are using the trade agreement to send some martial artists over first, ostensibly for trade. But the day they send over ordinary people, Qingcheng Base will be their domain."
After Sun Tian's suggestion was rejected, several other elders made suggestions, but they were all vetoed by the head of the Sun family.
Everyone pondered for a long time, considering all possibilities, but all they felt was helplessness.
Who could they blame? Wolf Lord Base was stronger than the Sun family. They had two transcendent martial artists!
In the face of transcendent martial artists, these Grandmasters of the Sun family were truly like ants.
"We can only take it one step at a time!" Sun Zhimen said.
The next day.
Ye Ningze returned to the base with a large batch of ferocious beast materials and intermediate-grade ferocious beast blood.
Afterward, he inquired about the situation from Feng Lang and learned the reason for the martial artists from Wolf Lord Base's arrival.
It turned out that after the elite martial artists arrived at their base, they did not engage in business but instead rented houses and villas, as if they intended to stay for a long time.
In the following days, more and more news arrived.
"Have you heard? The people from Wolf Lord Base are moving out of Wolf Lord Base and preparing to relocate their entire clan to Qingcheng Base."
"More than that, yesterday I saw the martial artists from Wolf Lord Base clearing wasteland, preparing to expand Qingcheng Base."
"Are the martial artists from Wolf Lord Base crazy? They have a perfectly good medium-sized base, why come to us?"
"Who knows..."
"..."
The ordinary people of Qingcheng Base were discussing the movements of Wolf Lord Base in the streets and alleys.
As for this move by Wolf Lord Base, the Sun family could only watch helplessly, unable to stop it.
After all, the land outside Qingcheng Base did not belong to Qingcheng Base but was considered wilderness.
The people of Wolf Lord Base building houses in the wilderness did not violate the contract.
