Actually, it wasn't that important for Xiao Chen to kill Sima Rui or not. The reason why he killed this guy was to take the opportunity to tell everyone that anyone who harmed him or those close to him would definitely pay the price.
This way, he could intimidate others.
This kind of tough approach indeed had a very strong deterrent effect.
Xiao Chen had expected that he would be condemned by the other major powers in the world of immortals after wiping out the Pei Clan, but that didn't happen.
Even the super families that were on good terms with the Pei Family didn't show any signs of criticizing him at this moment.
Those guys might be very dissatisfied in their hearts, but at least on the surface, no one came out to question him at this time.
At this moment, Xiao Chen finally understood why Li Kong said that he was too stupid and thought too much.
If one didn't have enough strength to provoke such an ancient family, it would be equivalent to publicly provoking the face and dignity of all the ancient families. However, if one's strength was strong enough to completely crush them, then one didn't have to worry too much about it!
After the Pei Family was destroyed and Sima Rui was killed, Xiao Chen didn't make a move on anyone else. Dingnan City quickly returned to its previous peace.
However, everyone knew that Xiao Chen was the last person they could afford to offend in South Dingnan City. Those who had deep roots in the Immortal Realm had also reported the situation back to their sects, warning them not to offend anyone from the South Spirit Immortal Sect or anyone who was related to Xiao Chen.
Although Xiao Chen hadn't truly unified the Immortal World, he wasn't far from it.
As for Xiao Chen himself, he didn't feel arrogant or complacent because of the current situation. This was because he knew better than anyone that everyone was so respectful of him now, not because of himself, but because he had a terrifying subordinate.
Although I have a powerful servant, my own strength is the most important. It's not reliable to rely on others, even if it's my own servant! Xiao Chen's heart was like a mirror.
Therefore, he had some plans in his heart, which was to take the opportunity to get more resources and improve his cultivation.
As for where the resources would come from …
After the Pei Family was destroyed, such a huge ancient family with countless years of inheritance naturally had an incomparably rich heritage. There were also countless various industries.
Moreover, everyone knew that it was Xiao Chen who destroyed the Pei Family. Therefore, even if some people were tempted by the wealth left behind after the Pei Family was destroyed, they didn't dare to fight for it.
The ones who benefited the most were the South Soul Immortal Sect and Broken Sky Valley.
Xiao Chen only took a portion of the Pei Family's precious resources. The rest of the resources, a large amount of cash, and the businesses were handed over to the Southern Soul Immortal Sect and Broken Sky Valley to manage.
Initially, Xiao Chen had planned to let the Southern Celestial Immortal Sect take over the Pei Family's businesses. Although he did not have much of a sense of belonging to the Southern Celestial Immortal Sect, he could not help but feel that Elder Zhang and Old Man Gui had deep feelings for the Southern Celestial Immortal Sect.
Furthermore, these two people were the ones who had helped Xiao Chen the most when he first entered the World of Immortals. If it weren't for Elder Zhang and Old Ghost, he would have died many times over. He wouldn't have been able to live until now.
Therefore, he gave the Pei Family's industries to the South Soul Immortal Sect as a form of repayment for Elder Zhang and Old Ghost's kindness. However, the Sect Leader of the South Soul Immortal Sect felt that the Pei Family's industries were too big. After all, the South Soul Immortal Sect was only a small sect and they couldn't handle the rapid expansion.
Therefore, he offered to manage the Pei Family's industries together with the Broken Sky Valley. Xiao Chen didn't reject it. It was obvious that the Sect Leader of the South Soul Immortal Sect was using this opportunity to express his goodwill.
After all, there weren't many people in the Southern Region who didn't know that his precious son and the Broken Sky Valley were inseparable.
Xiao Chen's vision wasn't limited to the Immortal Realm. Therefore, he didn't interfere too much with the division of the Pei Family's industries.
It was equivalent to the Broken Sky Valley gaining a large number of industries for nothing. In an instant, the overall strength of the Broken Sky Valley rose by a few notches.
As for the old man, Duan Kong, he seemed to know that Xiao Chen didn't have any good feelings towards him. Therefore, he took the initiative to give up the position of Valley Lord and went into closed-door cultivation.
Duan Jue didn't say anything. After all, he now knew how strong Xiao Chen was.
Duan Jue had already tied the fate of the Broken Sky Valley to Xiao Chen. Naturally, he didn't want Xiao Chen to have any grudges or dissatisfaction towards the Broken Sky Valley.
Therefore, Duan Kong giving up the position of Valley Lord and going into closed-door cultivation was more in line with Duan Jue's intentions.
As for whether this relationship could be repaired or not, Duan Jue didn't really care. Because that day, it was Duan Kong who provoked Xiao Chen. In the end, he didn't do anything stupid when he came out. It could be said that the relationship between him and Xiao Chen was still considered friendly.
In addition, there was a layer of relationship between Xiao Nianchen and Duan Shui. In short, as long as the Broken Sky Valley didn't lose its mind and do something that made Xiao Chen angry, it would treat Xiao Nianchen, the son-in-law well and build a good relationship. Xiao Chen would definitely take care of the Broken Sky Valley. This was enough.
Therefore, after Duan Jue accepted a part of the Pei Family's industries, he didn't think too much and directly transferred all the industries to Xiao Nianchen. He even transferred some of the original inherent industries of the Broken Sky Valley to the names of Xiao Nianchen and Duan Shui.
Although there were a few elders of the Broken Sky Valley who were slightly dissatisfied with his approach, they still implemented it directly under Duan Jue's insistence.
Before Xiao Nianchen could even react, he had already become the owner of these industries in a daze.
However, when he learned from Duan Jue about Xiao Chen's domineering behavior in Ding Nan City, his eyes lit up.
Since childhood, he had heard from Su Qingyi and the others how extraordinary Xiao Chen was. He had always admired Xiao Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk to enter the Immortal World and look for Xiao Chen alone.
And Xiao Chen did not let him down. Whether it was the strong appearance on the day of the wedding or the behavior in Ding Nan City, Xiao Nianchen once again admired Xiao Chen. He also regarded Xiao Chen as his goal.
"In the future, I must become a powerhouse like Father!" Xiao Nianchen's eyes were very determined.
Although Xiao Chen's cultivation was not very high, in Xiao Nianchen's heart, Xiao Chen's image was extremely glorious.
"Nianchen, Father is so powerful. We should work harder." Duan Shui also supported Xiao Nianchen's idea.
"Hehe, Xiao Shui, of course, you have to work hard in cultivation, but shouldn't you also consider working hard in other aspects?" The brat, Xiao Nianchen, suddenly smiled maliciously.
"What aspect?" Duan Shui was stunned.
"Heh heh heh, of course it's to … let my father hold a grandson earlier!" Xiao Nianchen laughed mischievously and pulled Duan Shui, whose face had turned red in an instant, into his embrace!
