The Star Demon within a radius of hundreds of miles had been killed, leaving only its body.
Some of the Star Demon's corpses had been roasted and could be eaten with seasoning.
Xu Hengzhi and the others led a group of people into the depths of the territory.
"Let's hurry up. The lord sent a message saying that he's killed a mid-stage Star Demon and is in the process of killing a late-stage Star Demon!"
Xu Hengzhi yelled excitedly.
"Boss Xu, is the lord really so powerful that he can kill a late-stage Star Demon?"
The martial artists couldn't believe it.
Jiang Changkong had become stronger again after only half a month of seclusion?
"Of course. The lord killed a mid-stage Star Demon when he was at the peak of the Astral Form. He's now a Star Demon, so killing late-stage Star Demons is a piece of cake. "
Xu Hengzhi said proudly, "Let me tell you, as long as you work hard, you'll be rewarded."
"I heard that it was Boss Xu who suggested to the lord to expand the territory?"
"I just casually said to the Overlord that the more people there are, the more the Overlord expanded."
Xu Hengzhi's face was flushed. Even high-level martial artists had to respect him now. It felt great.
"Look, the Star Demon is falling!"
A martial artist pointed at the sky and said excitedly.
The flying Star Demon kept falling.
In the sky far away, a fiery red star suddenly exploded.
An illusory soul was caught in Jiang Changkong's hand.
"A late-stage Star Demon. That's all there is to a Star Demon."
Astral power surged in Jiang Changkong's palm. The Soul-anchoring Tree swallowed the soul and grew taller.
However, it was still a long way from the thirty-meter-thick Soul-anchoring Tree in the image.
"Jiang Changkong, you'll die a horrible death. The high-level Star Demons will definitely kill you …"
The soul roared and the powerless threat. Jiang Changkong didn't care about it anymore.
Humans and the Star Demon had always been at loggerheads. He wouldn't stay in his territory if he had the ability to.
Besides, he also wanted the resources occupied by the Star Demon.
If he wanted to expand his territory, he would either have to get rid of his neighbors or the Star Demon in front of him.
He couldn't snatch the human race's territory for no reason, and the other forces wouldn't allow him to do so.
Those who took the initiative to provoke him had nothing to say.
However, if he took the initiative to take over other people's territories, if it was just one or two, the other factions could still tolerate it. But if there were too many of them, the other factions would definitely gang up on him.
Therefore, he could only start from the perspective of length, which was to get rid of the Star Demon and expand his territory.
Wherever Jiang Changkong went, the Star Demon disappeared. When he killed a late Star Demon, no Star Demon came out to seek death.
The expansion went smoothly.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Changkong stopped. The Soul Stabilizing Tree had grown quite a bit and was already one and a half meters tall.
"This should be enough. I won't be able to digest any more."
Jiang Changkong stopped moving.
This place was already one or two thousand kilometers wide. If it continued to expand, the people of the territory wouldn't be able to dig all the way in.
Later on, there was still the matter of the Wasteland Reclamation Team and the resource-rich wasteland.
The manpower problem was still not solved.
They couldn't keep up with his speed of expansion.
After scanning with the Soul-Governing Art and finding Xu Hengzhi, Jiang Changkong descended from the sky.
"Lord," Xu Hengzhi greeted respectfully.
"Greetings, Lord." The surrounding martial artists quickly saluted and sized him up with all kinds of gazes.
There was admiration, curiosity, and fear.
"This place is enough for you to develop for the time being. Find the vein first, I'll go back first," Jiang Changkong said lightly.
"Don't worry, Lord. By the way, Lord, I plan to post today's matter on the Internet and recruit more people," Xu Hengzhi said.
"Yes, we must recruit." Jiang Changkong nodded. With more people, he would expand.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would want to take down the entire Void Realm and let everyone help him develop it.
After thinking about it, Jiang Changkong said again, "This time, we'll find the Star Crystal vein and develop it. Pay the salaries. Each person will be given two Rank 7 Star Crystals and the rest will be given to me. That's how it'll be in the future."
The development of the territory had been going on for more than a month, but he had yet to pay them.
Professor Yun and the others could not work for him for free.
"Yes." Xu Hengzhi was overjoyed and looked at the surrounding martial artists. "Did you hear that? The Lord has already said that if we find another vein and develop it well, each person will be given two Rank 7 Star Crystals."
"Long live the Lord!"
The martial artists shouted excitedly.
Although Jiang Changkong had previously offered a high salary, only a few people had actually received it. Some people were already feeling resentful in their hearts.
Jiang Changkong soared through the air. This time, there was no problem.
Rank 7 Star Crystals were no longer useful to him. As long as he had any, he would not feel the pinch even if he gave them all away, let alone two.
Of course, it also depended on who he gave it to. He might not feel the pinch if he gave it to his own people, but he would definitely feel the pinch if he gave it to outsiders.
Back in the territory, Lin Nanfeng was sitting outside the territory basking in the sun with fruits and snacks beside him. He was having a good time.
"You're quite relaxed, Lin Nanfeng."
Jiang Changkong came to his side and said lightly.
Lin Nanfeng shuddered and hurriedly stood up. He said with some fear, "Lord."
"Follow me."
Jiang Changkong led him into the secret room.
After the two of them sat down, Jiang Changkong said, "Is there any movement from the Immortal Palace? What's the situation in the territory now? "
"Lord, ever since you asked me to inform the Immortal Palace, they scolded me."
Lin Nanfeng said aggrievedly, "I don't even know what happened. I fainted the whole time."
"What happened after that?" Jiang Changkong did not give him a good look.
"After that, the Immortal Palace asked me to investigate what happened at that time. You were in seclusion, so I couldn't find out. However, the people planted by the Immortal Palace have been trying their best to get close to the laboratory. "
Lin Nanfeng said in a low voice, "I found that Professor Yun often revealed research progress."
Jiang Changkong was not sure if Professor Yun had anything to do with the Immortal Palace, but he did not know if he revealed research progress or if he revealed all of it.
After pondering for a while, he said, "There are more people from the Immortal Palace in the territory now, right?"
"Yes, I'm not sure." Lin Nanfeng said respectfully, "The Immortal Palace can't expect me to succeed alone."
Jiang Changkong nodded and waved his hand, "That's it then. I'll give you a few pieces of Rank Eight Star Crystals in the future and get your normal salary."
"Thank you, Lord."
Lin Nanfeng's face lit up. He was about to leave when he stopped and said in a low voice, "Lord, I recently got a piece of news. You should like it."
"What news?" Jiang Changkong asked curiously.
"Liangqiu Xuanyi has been in contact with Galaxy Budokai recently."
"Liangqiu Xuanyi can actually get in touch with specially approved Budokai?"
A sacred sun appeared in Jiang Changkong's eyes. The sacred sun's radiance lingered in his eyes as he said with a trace of bewilderment, "If that's the case, there must be a top-ranked martial artist behind her."
"I'm not sure. I also don't know how she got in touch with Galaxy Budokai."
Lin Nanfeng shook his head. He felt that he, a member of the Research Palace, was about to become the Intelligence Palace.
"Okay, I got it. I'll pay attention to this matter. Do it well and I'll give you an opportunity in the future." Jiang Changkong encouraged him and let him go to work.
Lin Nanfeng curled his lips. Like hell I'll believe you. Last time, you said there was a great opportunity, but what happened in the end?
I was unconscious the whole time and didn't even know what happened. Now you're telling me this?
