<h4>Chapter 36: The Su n be the Barren Land Overlord.</h4>


    It had been two weeks since two sacred ns had been annihted by the Su Sacred n, and today was going to mark a new era in the Barren Land.


    In the past two weeks, the Barren Land had undergone earth-shaking changes.


    Every city, town, and vige had a Su Sacred Branch Hall.


    The Su Sacred Branch Hallprised ten gracefully-tiered levels, each rising above the other like a magnificent spiral reaching for the heavens.


    Constructed entirely from aged cedarwood, its warm, polished surfaces emitted a subtle,forting scent that wafted through the air.


    borate carvings adorned the intricate wooden pirs, telling stories of the n''s illustrious history and its connection to thend.


    The outer fa?ade of the hall was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, boasting intricatettice windows that filtered the sunlight into mesmerizing patterns of dancing rays.


    These delicate screens allowed a gentle breeze to permeate the hall, lending it an air of natural tranquility.


    This magnificent building was designed by Su Yen and thus stunned the people of the Barren Land.


    No matter how poor the town or vige was, the Su Sacred Branch Hall was the same everywhere.


    The uniqueness and mouthwatering spending of the Su Sacred n for building such a marvelous building left them in awe.


    While also, it left the people wondering. What was the purpose of these buildings?


    If it was only to control the towns and viges under them, such a building was deemed unnecessary.


    However, since it was the Su Sacred n, every family and n in the Barren Land yed the game of wait and see.


    Moreover, after the destruction of the Zhang and Li ns, the previous merchants and families that refused to ept the partnership proposal quickly rushed to the Su n to ept the deal.


    Who knew where the Su n would point their sword next.


    Thus, to be on the safer side, they chose to ept the devil''s deal.


    But to their dismay, when they ced the Metal Bone Construct for sale in their stores, people streamed in to buy it even though it was quite costlypared to the Su Sacred n.


    Previously, the Su Sacred n sold the Metal Bone Construct for 5 silver coins, while they sold theirs, ranging from 20 to 30 silver coins.


    Thus, this left them wondering. What was going on? Quickly, the various merchants and families sent their people to find out.


    Only to discover the Su Sacred n was no longer selling the Metal Bone Construct.


    Realizing this, the families and merchants that signed the contract with Su n knew what this meant.


    The market was open for them to dominate.


    Thus, a fierce battle began in the Barren Land as various families deployed various tactics to win more customers for their stores.


    In the end, three prominent families led in the sale of the Metal Bone Construct:


    The Shu family, Jin Family, and Gao Family.


    They were families of merchants.


    Each of them had various stores in every corner of the Barren Land.


    Apart from the Crimson Jade Pavilion, these three families dominated the economy of the Barren Land.


    With these three families selling the Metal Bone Construct, the armor quickly spread to almost every corner of the Barren Land in just two weeks.


    Subsequently, the Crimson Jade Pavilion was ostracized by everyone in the Barren Land.


    Their previously bustling store was left empty when the Su n dered that any families or individuals that traded with the Crimson Jade Pavilion would be their enemies.


    Who wanted to be an enemy of the Su Sacred n?


    At first, the various branch managers of the Crimson Jade Pavilion didn''t take the threat seriously.


    However, as time passed on, they realized the influence of the Su Sacred n was way beyond what they had imagined.


    Inside the Crimson Jade Pavilion building, on the top floor, a group of people sat with pensive gazes.


    "Is it the same?" Wu Bin asked her maid.


    "Yes. They didn''t give us the chance to speak, and they even threatened us if wee next time, they will kill every one of us," said the maid respectfully.


    "What! The Su n is getting too unreasonable. Just because they destroyed two tiny ns, they believe they could control everyone," a middle-aged man said with veins protruding from his forehead.


    He was a branch leader from Western Barren Land.


    Sitting opposite her was a middle-aged woman. She looked at the two people opposite and said with a sneer.


    "You''re just running your mouth, talking nonsense. When Wu Bin dared to close our door against them previously, where were you?"


    Hearing this, Wu Bin frowned and turned to her. "What do you expect me to do, hmm? A lesser n like the Su n dared to be unreasonable because of a mere Metal Bone Construct. If we don''t show them who the boss is, should we be groveling at their feet?"


    "You…" The middle-aged man pointed his finger at the woman. "You are part of the Crimson Jade Pavilion. Why are you supporting the enemies? Do you have anything to do with the Su n?"


    "Idiot. Because I didn''t support your brainless behavior. Now, I''m being part of the Su n. I thought you were wiser than this. I guess I was wrong," she retorted disdainfully.


    "You…" The man shouted and got to his feet. He released his cultivation aura, trying to suppress her.


    "Don''t dare show your pathetic cultivation in my presence. Do you think I''m scared of you?" She responded as she also got to her feet, releasing her cultivation.


    Both of them were at the Peak of Body Building realm, stage 9.


    Therefore, the air inside the room vibrated as if the vacuum space wanted to rip apart.


    As for Wu Bin, she looked at the two for a moment and creased her brow, not even affected by their cultivation pressure.


    "She may be younger than the two of you, but her prowess is way higher than yours," she said with a cold voice.


    The two stared at each other for a couple of seconds before they harrumphed and averted their gaze, taking their seats unwillingly.


    "If you want to fight, you have all the time in the world. But right now, we have pressing issues," Wu Bin said slowly.


    "Moreover, we should prepare for the arrival of the directors."


    "Fine…" The woman said. "When should we be expecting them?"


    "Three to four weeks," Wu Bin responded.
