On the second day after Ian Song returned to the Yanhuang Survivor Base, he launched a war against the Dualis Order.
Even though Ian didn't fight personally, with two ninth-stage Transforming-Gang old monsters joining in and teaming up with Myriad Beasts Order experts, the Dualis Order's top fighters were quickly routed.
As for the troops, all thirty thousand soldiers from the Survivor Base were newly minted warriors who had reached postnatal great perfection. Add in the Myriad Beasts Order disciples driving mutant beasts to help, and Dualis Order's army was also beaten back again and again.
So, with overwhelming advantage, the war ended in less than half a month.
The survivors from Dualis Order were about the same as those from the Myriad Beasts Order before—some losses after the war, but still close to five hundred thousand people. Once they migrate to the Yanhuang Survivor Base, Ian will complete his third mission.
Moving hundreds of thousands of people takes several days.
Knowing that the day those hundreds of thousands arrive at the Yanhuang Survivor Base will be his day of departure, Ian cherishes this time especially.
He had already handed all Survivor Base affairs over to Kevin Zhou, Leo Liao, Helen Guo, and the others, while he stayed in Villa No. 1 to accompany Lillian Liu and Coco Guan, and to teach Jewel martial arts.
Jewel's talent was freakishly good; during the several dozen days Ian was gone, this little girl had somehow broken through another layer and reached Innate Third Layer.
"President, the Heavensnare Saintess has arrived with a group of experts," Kevin Zhou reported, looking worried.
"Mm, I know. Just find a place to settle them, no need to pay too much attention to anything else," Ian replied calmly.
"Yes, sir."
After Kevin Zhou left, Ian felt a bit of a headache. Before leaving Heavensnare City, he had told Wan Tianchou to send ten ninth-stage Transforming-Gang experts to garrison the Yanhuang Survivor Base, but he hadn't expected Wan to send the Heavensnare Saintess herself.
Most likely, the Heavensnare Saintess had come here of her own accord.
That night, after he took the Heavensnare Saintess as his woman, even though he hadn't gone out of his way to spread the news, she probably made sure Wan Tianchou and the rest knew about it herself.
With the Heavensnare Order's upper echelon all under his control and the Saintess now his woman, they naturally had to treat her with extra respect. Thinking about it, Ian's headache grew worse—if, after he left, the Saintess used her status as his woman to stir up trouble, it could be a real problem.
"Forget it. Before I leave, I'll give Wan Tianchou and the others an order: as long as the Saintess doesn't harm Lillian Liu, Coco Guan, or anyone in the Yanhuang Survivor Base, just let her do as she likes!"
With that plan in mind, all his frustration instantly vanished.
"President Song, this humble girl Serena Skye has come to pay her respects." Outside the villa, the Saintess's voice rang out.
"Come in," Ian said calmly.
Soon, the Heavensnare Saintess, breathtaking in a flowing white dress, walked gracefully inside.
She came forward, bowed to Ian, then greeted Lillian Liu and Coco Guan, calling them Sister Coco and Sister Lillian.
This made Lillian Liu and Coco Guan exchange odd glances, unconsciously looking at Ian.
Ian ignored their questioning looks and said to the Saintess, "Come with me to the study."
"Yes," the Saintess nodded, then smiled at Lillian and Coco. "Sisters, I'll come talk to you later."
As soon as Ian and the Saintess left, Coco whispered to Lillian, "Lillian, I bet the Saintess has already been taken by our brother!"
Lillian thought Coco was being silly and asked, "Aren't you angry?"
Coco retorted, "Why should I be angry?" She looked admiring. "A capable man like our brother should have multiple wives! If not, I wouldn't have pushed him to accept you too, Lillian!"
"What? You pushed him?" Lillian looked surprised and shocked.
Coco realized she'd slipped and quickly added, "I just saw you two had feelings for each other, so I helped a little."
Lillian blushed deeply. "Coco, I thought you were my best friend! How could you do this to me? Just wait, I'll get you for this!"
With that, Lillian lunged at Coco, tickling her under the arms.
"Hehe... Sister, don't!"
Inside the study.
Ian sat calmly behind his desk, watching Serena Skye. She stood there, looking nervous. Just as Ian thought, after that night, she quietly spread the news that she had become his woman to Wan Tianchou and the other top elders.
Wan Tianchou and the rest, enslaved by Puppet Mastery, all saw Ian as their master. With Serena now Ian's woman, she became the primary lady in their eyes, and her status in the Heavensnare Order soared.
Later, when Wan Tianchou discussed sending people to Yanhuang Survivor Base, Serena insisted on being one of the ten, knowing her respect in Heavensnare City all came from Ian.
Only by holding onto Ian could she gain more.
"What are your plans for the future?" Ian asked after a long silence.
"I want to be your woman!" Serena said, blushing.
