The situation in the Outer City District is different from that in the Inner City District.

Although a night curfew is enforced,

the Outer City District is tens of times larger than the Inner City District, with a population several dozen times greater.

Moreover, the situation outside is complex.

There are many factory workers as well as people from all walks of life, making it extremely difficult to manage.

Therefore, even if the police enforce a curfew, it can only be implemented in the more orderly parts of the Outer City District, while in many other places, the night is still filled with dance and music.

Strip shows, casinos, shooting ranges, boxing rings, horse tracks...

These are the main entertainment venues in the Outer City District.

And the bosses behind them are all powerful figures.

The combined energy they wield cannot be underestimated.

So despite the events in the Inner City, the high walls and the various phenomena caused by the explosion make it hard to transfer information to the Outer City.

Furthermore, the noisy environment of the Outer City District is completely oblivious to such crises.

Baiyu drove to the outer branch of the Qiong Ning Business Division in the Outer City District, where, besides a clan elder from the Qiong Family, there were many members of the Qiong Family managing it.

Due to the fewer number of Ning Family members,

they control the core departments of the business association.

A branch like this,

is generally managed by the Qiong Family.

When Baiyu arrived here, he happened to see several younger members of the Qiong Family sending off guests, and the business of the association had already hit its stride, with many business partners coming and going.

With Baiyu's status backing them, the monthly profits have already reached over tens of millions.

Of course,

the landlord's family doesn't have excess grain either.

Just maintaining the Legendary Ship Erza would consume one-tenth of it, which is just the most basic expense.

Plus the numerous members from both the Qiong and Ning Families,

and various business partners.

Such as the Veterans Mutual Aid Association.

Even though Baiyu is the president, the Mutual Aid Association still requires funds to resolve issues for the business division.

There are also daily cultivation expenses for younger members of the Qiong and Ning Families, etc.

Layer by layer of expenditures, in the end,

the real profit that falls into the hands of Baiyu and the upper echelons of the Qiong and Ning Families is just a mere two or three million.

After dividing among everyone,

it basically is all gone.

However, this is just the start for the business association; as the business grows larger in the future, profits will increase as well.

Villiduo is a commercial metropolis.

Golden opportunities are everywhere here.

As Baiyu walked into the business division branch, several young members of the Qiong Family recognized him and quickly greeted him.

After responding, Baiyu did not engage further but instead quickly summoned Qiong Zhen, the manager here.

Qiong Zhen was an old man whose hair was completely white, and according to the information Baiyu had received, he was already over a hundred years old.

His strength,

had recently broken through to Tier Four Martial Artist.

It is worth mentioning,

that Qiong Zhen specializes in pure martial arts focusing on Blood Qi.

He had not ventured into the Extraordinary path, so its pollution had less effect on him.

"Clan Elder Zhen, have the people outside return immediately, close the gates, and refuse visitors in the next two days,"

Baiyu decisively instructed upon arriving at the branch hall.

Even though Qiong Zhen wanted to ask why, seeing Baiyu's unquestionable gaze, he swallowed his words and immediately ordered the necessary arrangements.

An hour later,

all the Qiong Family members working outside were summoned back.

Only then did Baiyu tell Qiong Zhen:

"There has been a major upheaval in the Inner City, which might extend to the Outer City. We can only prepare in advance.

The Protective Spirit Arrays I asked you to establish, are they in place?"

Qiong Zhen nodded: "Every branch has cultivated Protective Spirit Arrays; in such matters, one cannot be too cautious.

Moreover,

your few friends have also been arranged for recovery, with specialized doctors attending to them."

Baiyu nodded, finding Qiong Zhen's arrangements quite thorough.

To manage a branch independently, not only does one need a high level of skill, but also a certain shrewdness in dealing with people.

"Baiyu, what exactly happened in the Inner City?"

After hesitating for a moment,

Qiong Zhen finally voiced his question.

Baiyu replied in a low voice: "It's unclear at the moment, but based on what I know, the explosion occurred at the Holy Light Church."

"The Holy Light Church, an explosion?"

Qiong Zhen's old face changed; even with his century of experience, he couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

A church explosion?

This sort of thing only happens in dreams.

"Not the Main Church, but a small church exploded,"

Baiyu continued.

Qiong Zhen was finally able to take a breath, yet still found it hard to accept.

The explosion of an auxiliary church isn't a trivial matter either.

Moreover,

judging by Baiyu's solemn expression, it's evident that it isn't merely a church explosion we are dealing with.

"Strange things emerged after the church explosion,"

Qiong Zhen showed an unsurprised expressions, worried, he asked: "What do you mean by strange things?"

"I suspect it could be an evil entity," Baiyu replied.

Even though Qiong Zhen had never encountered such an evil entity, he had vaguely heard about them.

They can invade a person's body and cause mutations.

High-level evil entities,

can even have their wisdom, lying dormant within a person and manipulating the host's mind.

Seeing the smile on Qiong Zhen's face gradually disappear,

Baiyu said, "No need to panic; there's quite a distance between the Outer City and the Inner City.

With the City Guard Army and the Protective Arrays, the situation won't escalate to that extent.

Just be a little careful for now."

Upon hearing this, Qiong Zhen finally sighed in relief.

A full-scale outbreak of evil entities would indeed be problematic.

"You go ahead and attend to your duties, but make sure to keep an eye on that little girl I brought with me, and don't let her wander around recklessly. Her father seems to be associated with the Holy Light Church."

Baiyu instructed.

Qiong Zhen nodded and left the hall.

Watching his receding figure, Baiyu exhaled deeply.

Under these circumstances, worry and anxiety have little effect.

Taking advantage of the brief moment earlier, he had already sent a message to Long Shanyun.

For the remaining issues,

he no longer needed to worry about them.

Baiyu took a deep breath and pulled out four books.

Three of which were comprehensive books on Extraordinary knowledge, as per certain tasks he had, and the remaining one was the "Moon Spirit Divine Heaven Seal."

Baiyu wasn't sure why, even though his Spirit Body entered the Divine Court,

he could bring physical objects out.

Of course, this just incited a small curiosity, not affecting his cultivation of the Moon Spirit Divine Heaven Seal.

In fact,

Baiyu's combat power from his existing Core Technique already somewhat lagged behind his physical abilities.

Switching Core Techniques was inevitable.

"The Moon Spirit Divine Heaven Seal is an offensive Core Technique, cultivating Moon Power?"

Baiyu carefully read through the outline of this Core Technique.

To put it simply,

the Moon Spirit Divine Heaven Seal is an offensive Core Technique, differing from the recuperative focus of the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill.

Each has its merits.

Nevertheless,

even if he shifted to another Core Technique, the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill would still have its functions.

An Elite-level Martial Artist can cultivate an additional Core Technique compared to an Ordinary Level Martial Artist.

And a Grandmaster Level,

can cultivate even more than an Elite Level.

Of course,

this is one of the reasons why the large ranks of Martial Artists are hard to traverse.

Baiyu took a deep breath and began deeply exploring this new Core Technique, but it wasn't long before his arm's skin suddenly began to heat up.

He rolled up his sleeve,

creasing his brow.

There were three marks on his arm.

Among which the Black Moon and Red Cup were very calm.

But the mark of the Teleportation Light Gate of the Divine Court was flickering at this moment.

Someone in the Divine Court was summoning him!
