The next significant development in Wang Jian's faction was the Night Dagger Clan's rise to prominence. They gained infamy for executing successful assassinations of numerous traders, landlords, and some members of reputable organizations.

The economic affairs of the Empire and those organizations remained largely unscathed as the targets were carefully selected and replaceable.

Despite everyone knowing who was responsible for the killings, no one dared to publicly accuse Wang Jian.

The Night Dagger Clan began receiving a plethora of job offers via letters, each stating the target and the price offered.

These letters were handled by brokers who acted as intermediaries between the clients and the assassins. The brokers alone knew the clients' identities and targets.

The Underworld Barter Syndicate was a significant organization on par with the Dao of Alchemy Society, led by a peak King Realm expert.

It also had close ties with Emperor Realm experts causing them to possess great influence and background.

The Night Dagger Clan selected targets that would strengthen Wang Jian's faction, so they exclusively conducted negotiations with the Underworld Barter Syndicate for the price of the deaths of these individuals.

News of Fen Shuying's involvement with the Night Dagger Clan quickly spread throughout the capital, causing a stir among the various organizations.

Many began to wonder about her relationship with Wang Jian and whether or not he had approved of her actions, or if she was acting independently.

In a society where men typically held the majority of power, it was uncommon for a woman to be allowed to manage an organization, let alone one as influential as the Night Dagger Clan. This fact only added to the intrigue and speculation surrounding Fen Shuying's role.

Rumors and whispers circulated through the halls of power, with some speculating that Fen Shuying was using the Night Dagger Clan to further her own ambitions.

Others whispered that Wang Jian was losing his grip on power, and that his wife was stepping in to fill the void.

Despite the rampant speculation, no one could deny the impact that Fen Shuying and the Night Dagger Clan had on the Empire.

Their bold and successful assassinations of certainly been a wakeup call as many organizations were forced to reevaluate their own security measures in response.

The third notable event that occurred this month was the steady progress of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe and the Miracle Angel Tribe. The two tribes had also made their impact in the Empire, but not to the same extent as the Night Dagger Clan.

It was only natural as the Third Prince wanted to keep his connection with them a secret. These two tribes were going to be his aces to destroy Wang Jian's faction in one go.

The fourth significant event that unfolded this month was the successful negotiation between Wang Jian and Sect Master Zhu Huan.

As per the agreement, the Sacred Crane Sect publicly declared its allegiance to Wang Jian's faction, solidifying their relationship and increasing Wang Jian's power and influence.

In keeping with his promise, Wang Jian immediately dispatched messages to King Chen, the Monarch of the Windhaven Kingdom, and King Peng, the Monarch of the Silvercrest Dominion, requesting their assistance in establishing branches of the Sacred Crane Sect in their respective kingdoms.

Wang Jian also emphasized the need for unconditional support to be provided to the sect, given their new status as a member of his faction.

The move was significant as it not only expanded Wang Jian's sphere of influence but also established a new power dynamic in the region.

It was also a clear message to other organizations and factions that Wang Jian was not to be underestimated and that his reach and influence were expanding rapidly.

The fifth noteworthy development was the successful integration of the Silver-Tailed Fox Clan into Wang Jian's faction.

Since both the matriarch, Lady Zhuoran, and her daughter, Bixi Shuyan, were already working for Wang Jian, the process of assimilating the entire clan was relatively smooth.

One factor that played a crucial role in winning over the clan was the generous gift of numerous Beast Cores brimming with rich essence.

Wang Jian formed a new team of powerful warriors from the Silver-Tailed Fox Clan and tasked them with exploring the region.

He was counting on Bixi Shuyan's extraordinary ability to detect treasures or celestial resources.

Of course, Wang Jian ensured that this team of warriors was led by two King Realm experts, as he was unwilling to risk losing or letting go of such a valuable treasure tracker like Bixi Shuyan.

Bixi Shuyan was thrilled to receive this opportunity as it served two purposes for her.

Firstly, it offered her a temporary reprieve from Wang Jian's advances and spared her from having to engage in any further sexual encounters with him.

Secondly, she saw it as a chance to prove her worth to Wang Jian by uncovering more treasures for him.

As her value increased, she hoped that Wang Jian would be more inclined to heed her opinions and suggestions in the future.

She was shrewd and strategic, recognizing that the key to gaining influence and power for the Silver-Tailed Fox Clan in Wang Jian's faction was through demonstrating her usefulness to him. This was also the only way she could keep her mother safe from Wang Jian's depraved clutches.

Unfortunately for her, Wang Jian was no ordinary man who could be easily manipulated, and he possessed a keen understanding of human nature, particularly when it came to ambition and greed.

During the course of her one-month journey, Bixi Shuyan was able to make a remarkable discovery.

She had found not one, but two mines containing rare Lord Realm resources that could be used to create powerful armors.

However, it was her third discovery that proved to be the most fortunate of all. There, she stumbled upon a rare opportunity to acquire twenty drops of the Steller Azure Dew.

This was an incredibly precious resource that had the ability to purify the meridians and significantly strengthen the body. Unlike other resources that could cause harmful side-effects, the Steller Azure Dew was completely safe to use.

What made the Steller Azure Dew even more valuable was the fact that it took hundreds of years of cultivation on a special plant to congeal.

It contained the essence of a special herb that had been cultivated for centuries and could greatly boost the cultivation of even King Realm experts.

Without hesitation, Bixi Shuyan immediately absorbed one of the twenty drops. Fortunately, the essence within the Steller Azure Dew was smooth and easy to absorb, and it quickly circulated within her body.

As a result, the beast qi within her physique began to revolve in a particular manner, activating the special method stored in her bloodline. This method was perfectly suited for her physique, and it allowed her to cultivate with ease.

Thanks to the Steller Azure Dew, Bixi Shuyan's bloodline was greatly stimulated, and a fifth silver tail sprouted from her back, growing to the same size as her other four silver tails.

Bixi Shuyan was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the fifth silver tail.

Her mother had told her that attaining the King Realm was a major milestone for any member of the Silver-Tailed Fox Clan, as it would result in the growth of an additional tail, regardless of the number of tails they had awakened prior to achieving this level of cultivation.

This meant that a fox with one tail would gain a second tail, a fox with two tails would acquire a third, and so forth.

Consequently, Bixi Shuyan would grow her sixth silver tail, once she advances to the King Realm, putting her bloodline on par with that of the Silver-Tailed Fox Clan's ancestral bloodline.

The prospect of reaching such a high level of cultivation filled Bixi Shuyan with excitement and a sense of pride.

Meanwhile, Bixi Shuyan's cultivation began to rise steadily. It had already reached the Third Stage of the Lord Realm. And this cultivation was still rising.

Filled with excitement, Bixi Shuyan eagerly made her way back to Wang Jian's palace, knowing that her recent discoveries would impress him greatly.

The two mines that she had stumbled upon were already filled with rare and valuable resources that would benefit Wang Jian's faction greatly, but the third discovery of the twenty drops of the Steller Azure Dew was the cherry on top of the cake.

Once Bixi Shuyan returned to the palace with these drops of the Steller Azure Dew, Wang Jian immediately distributed it among his women while keeping the rest with him.

Including Meng Xiangyi in the list of his women who received the dew drop, Wang Jian was left with 12 drops of Steller Azure Dew.

The cultivation of all his women rose steadily.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian absorbed one drop of Steller Azure Dew himself.
