Ruler Of The Abyss

Inside an extravagantly decorated bedchamber, Shen can be seen sitting on his bed facing three figures that are kneeling in front of him. With a stoic face he stares at the trio before he unfolds the folding fan in his hand in front of his face and looks at Xian Hui he says calmly.

"Give me a status report on the businesses you've set up and then we will talk about some products I have thought of for sale later, greedy lecher."

Smiling wryly at the nickname he's been dubbed with since he started serving his master he replies

"Yes Master we will speak of it later, currently in Floating Cloud City both our restaurants are popular within the city and out of it. And the e.r.o.t.i.c bar you've put in place called "Heavenly Fragrant House" receives lots of patrons. The membership you've put in place using the more beautiful whores has lots of members from high places, there has been some trouble with people who have great backgrounds trying to persuade us to give them certain workers but the clan troops take care of them easily. That is all I have to report for now Master!"

Once he finishes his report, he looks at me to see if I was satisfied. Nodding he releases a sigh like a great weight has been removed from his shoulder before he smiles and continues kneeling.

Turning towards the giant baldy in front of me I inspect the Grand Marshal armor that I've custom made for him has signs of battle all over it. I can tell it's from sparring with the soldiers.

Laughing loudly I look at him before revealing a mocking smile from behind my fan.

"Those soldiers are beating you up aren't they Zhan?"

And then for the first time since we came out the void realm I've heard him speak in a deep baritone voice, he says

"Yes, Master they truly don't hold back. My report is that currently we have multiple squads at Spirit Profound Realm and higher, due to the resources available not only do they have a good cultivation base but they have great martial prowess and most are prepared for battle due to the raiding of bandit camps and skirmish fights. That is all for now Master."

Nodding I look over to the beautiful Yin who was kneeling there obediently. Looking at her I then speak "Did you get the information I've asked for?"

Nodding she then says coldly "The marriage between Xiao clan's Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue will take place in a week, spies placed in our businesses have spread rumors that the recent phenomenon where 'The sky turns red and a multi-colored lightning strikes down in the forest on the city outskirts and there's a divine treasure there' with that rumor spreading people have gone to the forest to find the treasure only to be kidnapped by us.

Those with cultivation talent or have high cultivation were 'persuaded' to join us with full loyalty using one of the divine treasures you gave us."

'Is she talking about the torture manual that I made in the void realm?' "Mhm, good work. Come back to my room in 30 minutes, you and Zhanshin are dismissed."

Then they both get up and then bow before leaving. With Hui the only one in the room I stand up and stretch my arms out a little. "Open up two beauty salons one in Divine Phoenix City and another in Blue Wind City. Use our Xian Clan's builders, tell them to make it as high-end as possible. And also add a membership where those who pay can have products delivered to them first for a heavy fee this will come handy and make us easy money. I will create caches of beauty products enough to last sales for a long time. You handle setting up the business and use advertis.e.m.e.nt well with rumors and gossip among high ranking civilian spies we have.

Stunned by the sudden revelation I can see the greedy lechers face show an expression of ecstasy for a minute before he regains his calm. "Understood Master!" he yells out before running out the room like a maiden in love 'What the f.u.c.k is wrong with him?'

….

30 minutes pass and I hear a faint knock on the door. "Come in!" I yell out and then at the entrance of my door is the as always seductive Yin who walks slowly over to my bedside swaying her h.i.p.s side to side.

And then coming next to the bed she whispers in my ears. "I'm ready master.."

Confused I look at her for a second before I realized what she thought this was, laughing out loud she begins to get confused too. "Haha, I didn't call you for that come," I tell her pointing at my l.a.p. Taking a seat in it she turns her heads towards me.

"Why did you call me then!" she shouts with a little pout. Amused I reply "Go to the Scarlet Dragon Prohibited Region, find the dragon and kill it. Plunder everything you find in its cave but the priority target is a rock that stands in the spotlight. That is the Evil God's seed. Once done report back to me for your reward."

Nodding with a conviction in her eyes to get that Evil God seed I wave to her to leave. On her way out I give her plump a.s.s cheeks a slap causing her to yelp on her way.

Going back into bed I close my eyes and drift off into sleep, once in deep enough sleep I awaken in my void realm, looking at the soldiers who are training at the pagoda I go to the coliseum where soldiers usually duel each other to test each others prowess. Stepping into the battle arena I summon two long daggers each in one hand. And then I summon Shadow Warriors a technique I've created based on Solo Leveling.

The horde of Shadow Warriors surrounding me garnered the attention of the Xian clan soldiers who were idling at the arena and then they called others to it. With the large coliseum almost filled with soldiers who are supposed to be training and servants who are supposed to be working I shrug it off. 'Not every day you see your leader sparring eh?'

After a few minutes, the once chattering turned into overall cheers and screams. The arena was waiting for this spectacle to take place.

The Shadow Warriors each carrying different armor or weapons got in different combat stances and then prepare for my signal. Getting into position I stare at them before something click and then the warriors begin to charge at me while releasing large cries "AGGHHHH" they scream each in a different voice. 'They have f.u.c.k.i.n.g voices? That almost makes me feel like they're human. I don't mind though' I tell myself chuckling.

With that, a multi-colored lightning current envelops my whole body. Each color leaking out a different aura such as the cyan blue releasing a cold and Icy aura. And red releasing one of slaughter and fire. Taking off, withing a millisecond I move from my position to the nearest soldier and then I swipe my dagger at its neck. Not even realizing I move it's body dissipates into the air before I do the next and keep slashing at the shadow's neck.

With each swipe of my dagger more of their bodies turn into the air and vanish and I cut through half of the horde. Calling onto lightning the Void realm trembles a little before the sky parts and a red hue replaces the skies blue color. And then a white lightning bolt cracks onto the group of Shadow's leaving all of their bodies to instantly turn into air.

Done with my performance I make the daggers disappear and the once quiet arena breaks into cheers. Most staring at me with awe and amazement while others were yelling things like

"Long live Xian clan!"

"Master is so strong!"

"Take me as your concubine!" One of the female servants yells out giving her a slight blush.

…

Ignoring the crowd of people I release some of my aura that spreads over the coliseum and then boosts my voice so the whole arena can hear it.

"Thank you for watching my practice. Now get back to WORK!" I yell like a grumpy office manager.

Scared the workers and soldiers begin to exit the arena with expressions of fear on their faces earning some confused looks from their co-workers and soldiers who were doing what they were supposed to.

And then something pulls me out the Void Realm where I awaken in my bed. Standing up I head over to my closet before picking out robes that would even make the Dragon king jealous. Putting it on the exquisite fabric feels good on my skin and it looks good on me too. A red and white robe with dragons coiling all over it.

Exiting the room I look around my courtyard before spotting a girl who was sweeping. Walking over to her I tap her gently spooking her as she didn't sense my presence. Looking at her I release a dazzling smile before say "Hello there lady, can you do something for me?"

Stunned by my appearance her brain freezes for a second and then she looks at me standing up while stuttering "M-m-my apologies Master! What is it this humble servant can do for you!"

"Call Zhanshin to call the commanders of the army and Grand Marshal Yui to the War Room," I tell her before walking around the pagoda until I see a double door. Opening it, I see a giant room with enough space to fit around an army, in the middle was a giant rectangular table with a map of the Azure continent.

Sitting at the table waiting patiently for my subordinates to arrive I close my eyes and then take a tiny nap. Just a tiny bit... My last thought before I drift off into sleep was.

'Hmmm…. How do I take over Floating Cloud City?'
