The true Wolf King Lord has died, and with Ye Qiu controlling the Wolf King Lord’s body, Ye Qiu has become the lord of this territory.

This was something he probably hadn’t expected himself.

Through the soul memory of the Wolf King Lord, Ye Qiu gained a basic understanding of the Southern Wilderness.

Apparently, his current location is just a corner of the Southern Wilderness, and the area of this region is even more terrifyingly vast than the Eastern Wilderness.

Moreover, Ye Qiu learned that the Wolf King Lord was just a small lord in a span of a thousand miles, and above him, there was a terrifying existence, a Great Lord who controlled several small lords.

"So those people were treated as tribute, meant to be offered to this Great Lord." Ye Qiu muttered to himself.

Through the soul memory, Ye Qiu could feel the Wolf King Lord’s fear of that Great Lord, a fear akin to facing the Grim Reaper, capable of making an ancient beast at the late stage of the Gui Xu Realm afraid and panic; one could imagine the power of this Great Lord must be at least at the Saint Realm.

However, Ye Qiu couldn’t judge whether the other party was a regular sixth-level or below Saint Realm, or at the level of a Supreme Saint, or even higher.

Ye Qiu was unsure, but anyway, the Wolf King Lord’s soul was always very afraid of that Great Lord.

As for the news of the Beast God that Ye Qiu wanted to find, he hadn’t found anything.

Sitting on the stone bed, Ye Qiu appeared thoughtful. He now had two choices: the first was to leave directly, bypassing several territories, and might be able to get closer to the center of the Southern Wilderness. But there was a key problem, which was he was human. Ancient beasts with weaker strength couldn’t perceive it, but those with strength reaching above the Gui Xu Realm level could still sense his aura.

In the Southern Wilderness, ancient beasts are not friendly to humans; they do not regard humans properly at all. Many ancient beasts even like to eat humans, treating humans as food, just like that Great Lord in the Wolf King Lord’s mind, who is such a brutal ancient beast.

This means that if Ye Qiu leaves, although he’s not afraid of danger and has the ability to protect himself, wanting to walk freely on the land of the Southern Wilderness would be challenging and would attract the coveting of many ancient beasts.

It’s a bit like Tang Seng fetching scriptures, in the eyes of many ancient beasts, Ye Qiu is like a walking feast.

This would be very troublesome, and Ye Qiu dislikes trouble the most.

As for the other road, it is to stay here and slowly grow using the Wolf King Lord’s avatar.

However, this means wanting to find the Beast God would have to slow down the pace.

After pondering for a long time, Ye Qiu ultimately decided to use the Wolf King Lord’s avatar, constantly enhancing his own strength while also figuring out a way to seek the Beast God.

"This Southern Wilderness is not simple; there are indeed many terrifying existences here." Even someone with the strength of the Wolf King Lord can only be confined to a corner as a small lord. It’s likely that Saint-level ancient beasts are equivalent to the Great Lord level.

The further towards the center of the Southern Wilderness, the stronger the ancient beasts’ strength.

If Ye Qiu marched there recklessly, he might be targeted by many powerful ancient beasts.

If he encountered that kind of existence at the heavenly level again, he might not be as fortunate as before, with Gu Tian coming to save him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Ye Qiu is not someone who likes to put his life in the hands of others; he prefers to have his fate in his own hands.

Since he needed to stay, using the Wolf King Lord’s avatar to act for him, Ye Qiu began to plan in his mind. First, he had to establish his identity in this territory.

Also, Tai Shan, the ancient beast that followed him out of the forest, could work for him as well.

Next, Ye Qiu summoned many half-beasts using the Wolf King Lord’s avatar and announced in public that Ye Qiu would become the Think Tank, granting various authorities, and Tai Shan was also assigned to manage a portion of the half-beasts. At Ye Qiu’s indication, Tai Shan did not refuse; he still quite enjoyed being at Ye Qiu’s side.

Thus, Ye Qiu became the nominal Think Tank, becoming a subordinate of the Wolf King Lord, but in reality, these were performances for outsiders; as for becoming someone’s subordinate, Ye Qiu had no qualms in his heart, because the Wolf King Lord was also considered part of himself. Being his own subordinate, what’s there to be frustrated about?

With the Wolf King Lord’s avatar blocking the front, it also facilitated Ye Qiu’s actions, while outsiders were unaware that actually, all of this was still under Ye Qiu’s control.

In this way, what was originally a land of ancient beasts secretly changed ownership, with Ye Qiu becoming the true master of this land.

Thinking about how he was once the Ancient Land Master on Earth, then became the Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect after arriving at the ancestral land, and now mixed into the Southern Wilderness, ending up as a lord, he realized he was really not the idle type, essentially creating his own territory everywhere.

He was wondering how the Dan Shen Sect was doing now, and whether Shangguan Mingyue and the others were in danger.

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but worry about the situation of the Dan Shen Sect. He had offended the Supreme Saint of Jiu Jue, practically incurring their hatred deeply, and he killed the Saint of Donghua Sect, framing Shadow, which further enraged two major factions. Now, they must be searching for him everywhere.

With their influence, if they cannot trace Qingfeng County, he wouldn’t believe it.

However, Ye Qiu wasn’t too concerned, as he had already prepared a retreat for the Dan Shen Sect, and even for Zhu Cang who was associated with him, they would retreat timely if there was even the slightest stir.

Currently, he is in the Southern Wilderness and cannot attend to the Dan Shen Sect anymore. If he were to return to the Eastern Wilderness with his current strength, it would be extremely dangerous, as the two cosmic-level powerhouses from Donghua Sect and Shadow had their eyes on him.

With the warning from Gu Tian, Ye Qiu, even if he wanted to, dared not go back.

All he could do was rely on fate.

Ye Qiu clenched his fist, feeling the helplessness brought by leaving things to fate, which he disliked. Yet, he had no choice, being utterly powerless.

Still, his strength was too weak. Were he at the cosmic level, could the two cosmic-level entities from Donghua Sect and Shadow continue to underestimate him?

Just like Gu Tian, even when facing two cosmic-level entities, he was still living well.

Currently, as a Gui Xu Realm being, he has no qualification to spar with such strong beings, having no way of resisting them. The helplessness from then is still vividly remembered by Ye Qiu.

That crisis made Ye Qiu profoundly understand that only by being strong to a certain degree can one truly overlook everything.

Saint Realm!

Ye Qiu has already made up his mind to enter the Saint Realm as soon as possible, and then rely on blackening to contend with cosmic-level beings.

With emotions fluctuating, Ye Qiu’s mindset gradually calmed down.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind just now, nearly destabilizing his mood, leading to impatience.

"Progress must be grounded, being too eager for quick success would lead to poorer results." Ye Qiu murmured, reminding himself not to develop unstable emotions due to a desire to enhance his strength.

At this point, new information emerged in Ye Qiu’s mind, transmitted from the Wolf King Lord’s avatar.

"A banquet invitation? Haha... why does it feel more like a Hongmen Banquet?" Ye Qiu chuckled.
