He then added, "We cannot let them outmaneuver us. Summon our best scouts and illusion specialists. Send them to monitor every major route the Golden Lions might use. If there's an artifact, a secret realm, or a prodigy they're hunting, we must not lose sight of it."
The silver-haired subordinate bowed deeply. "Yes, Patriarch. I will assemble all relevant reports and cross-reference them imdiately. We will leave no stone unturned."
A heavy silence followed his order. Outside, a gust of wind howled across the obsidian steps, carrying the chill of the mountain mists into the great hall. The jade statue lood overhead, eyes glinting in the firelight as though silently urging the clan onward.
The patriarch raised his hand. "Go. Prepare for whatever the Golden Lions intend. Whether this is rely a show or the precursor to a grand upheaval, we will be ready."
'I hope they won't do anything funny this ti around. Otherwise…' The patriarch's expression darkened, thinking that if the Golden Lion race would ss around and hinder them in any way, he would show them that there were still differences in strength even between those strongest factions in the world.
Even though they could be considered as one, the difference between their race could still be considered as huge. That's why the patriarch didn't actually worry too much because he also knew that a full-out war in the near future was almost impossible as all of the top factions were preparing themselves for the incoming new era.
However, the things that concerned him more was the reason for the statue's movent. Therefore, he ordered them to monitor the Golden Lion race's every movent as he didn't want to miss even a single clue that could lead towards it.
Subsequently, the patriarch received the reports and made necessary arrangents for them.

anwhile, while the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demonic Fox Race was in the midst of turmoil, the one responsible for causing it all was simply strolling around Lunovale City, waiting for the upcoming auction.
For over an hour, Cain's group had explored nurous shops. He needed to purchase large quantities of furniture and other household essentials to furnish the hos inside his beast space.
During these outings, Cain had also quietly brought Li Fenghai into the beast space whenever Garran and Butler Zen were distracted, so that Li Fenghai could begin maintaining all the beasts that he had bought previously.
However, for most of the ti, Cain spent it using his brain as he needed to think about the counterasure to deal with Lucan's death and the unknown enemy that had co for him out of nowhere.
Fortunately, Cain was able to get himself out of the trouble, as it could lead to a disaster if he wasn't strong enough to handle them because Anya's intervention from the system previously was sothing that he hadn't thought of.
That's why, after transmigrating into this world, he realized that he needed to think about the worst-case scenario for everything that he wanted to do since everything wouldn't always go according to his desire.
In that ti, Cain decided that he would speed up his plan about auctioning the blood essence and luring soone from the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demonic Fox race because if his plan succeeded, at least he wouldn't need to worry about his safety for the ti being.
aning that he didn't need to worry about the threat from Lucan's family nor the unknown disaster, as he believed that with the strength of the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demonic Fox, most of the problems that he might face in the future would be auto-resolved.
Moreover, Cain had already instructed his clone back in his own kingdom to organize a grand event offering free talent awakenings under the pretext of finding and recruiting geniuses.
In truth, his primary goal was to discover the main character's companion as it was soone whose talent he wanted to copy and then nurture as a loyal subordinate.
In addition, Cain had received a mission for Nix in filling his experience at the GrandLord Rank Beast. Luckily, the difficulty was just a normal level, and he only needed to find the resources by himself, as he was restricted from buying them like he did previously.
As Cain was still lost in his thoughts with perfecting his plan while accompanying the others to buy things, he imdiately set aside his thoughts when he noticed that there was a movent inside the beast space.
He then made a projection inside the beast space and found out that Anya had almost finished her small retreat.
After waiting for a minute or two, Cain finally noticed the change with Anya as her aura had instantly cald down the mont she opened her eyes.
Subsequently, Cain imdiately checked Anya's stats as he was curious about her improvent.
[Na: Anya Akane]
[Age: 22]
[Race: Half-Human, Half-Kitsune]
[Bloodline: 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox (4-Tailed)]
[Awakener Rank: High-level Conqueror Rank]
[Attribute: Ascendant-level Fire Elent (1 rank above Perfect-level)]
[Talent: Transformation (S Rank), Illusion Manipulation (S Rank)]
[Skills: 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox skills (4-Tailed)]
[Strength]: 285 million 15 mil = 300 million
[Agility]: 380 mil 20 mil = 400 million
[Health]: 228 mil 12 mil = 240 million
[Sense]: 266 mil 14 mil = 280 million
[Energy]: 684 mil 12 mil = 696 million
When Cain checked Anya's new strength, he was delighted to see that so of her stats had even surpassed Nix to so extent, thinking that he finally had a new insurance when he was still in this low-level world.
With Anya's new strength, he instantly felt safer because, coupled with her bloodline power that could quintuple her stats, Cain was certain that even in the entire world at this mont, Anya was definitely the strongest within the sa rank.
That's why he wouldn't need to worry about anything for the ti being, as the strongest person that could go inside the low-level world was limited to Conqueror Rank.
"How are you feeling?" Cain asked with a smile, patting her head softly.
"I feel great. My body's overflowing with strength. I can't wait to test it against soone strong!" Anya replied excitedly while savoring the mont of Cain patting her head.
"We'll talk about challenging fights later. The auction is about to begin, and we should head there now." Cain chuckled and instantly took her and Li Fenghai out of the beast space, surprising everyone in his group.
"Big Sis Anya!" Ayla and Sylvia imdiately co and hug her warmly as if they haven't t for years.
Anya only shook her head as she put both the little girls in her arms before greeting the others.
Subsequently, they headed towards the Starlight Auction House together since the little girls couldn't wait to have their first experience attending an auction.
When they arrived in front of the building, Garran was surprised to find Liang Yuchen and another person standing at the entrance as if waiting for soone.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that one of the top beauties in the academy was waiting for and made such an effort." Garran laughed out loud when the party had just arrived.
However, to his surprise, Yuchen only gave him a cold glance before shifting his gaze towards Cain and bowing slightly together with Old Feng.
"Welco back, Young Master Cain." Yuchen and Old Feng greeted Cain in unison, shocking Garran as he opened his eyes widely since he hadn't thought that Cain and Yuchen had known each other before.
"You know her? Why'd you keep that a secret from ?" Garran nudged Cain and asked in a slightly annoyed tone, as he had just embarrassed himself because he thought that Yuchen was waiting for him.
"You never ask." Cain chuckled as he sneered before replying to Yuchen and Old Feng with a smile.
"No need for formalities. People might get the wrong idea if you behave this politely." Cain waved his hand dismissively.
Both of them imdiately understood the assignnt as they realized that Cain hinted at them to not reveal anything about him because with them being overly polite, it might raise suspicion from Garran and his protector about their relationship.
"Big Brother Cain, Who's that beautiful sister? Why is she watching you weirdly?" Ayla piped up suddenly, tugging on Cain's sleeve.
"Now that Ayla ntioned it. It seems the jade cold beauty has finally taken a liking to soone, my good friend at that." Garran chuckled.
When Yuchen heard it, she imdiately gave Garran a cold glare as if she couldn't wait to beat the hell out of him for what he just said.
Garran instantly giggled as he raised his hands, backing out instantly after he teased her.
"She is Liang Yuchen," Cain explained gently to Ayla, patting her head. "Her family owns the Starlight Auction House."
"Wow! She must be super rich then." Ayla exclaid, thinking that she must have an infinite amount of money because she heard from Garran's mouth before about the Starlight Auction House being a force as strong as his family but much richer.
"I guess you could say that, yes." Cain shook his head helplessly when he heard it. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
"Big Brother Cain, here!" Ayla made a gesture as if she wanted to whisper sothing to him.
Cain then crouched down and moved his head closer to her.
However, unbeknownst to Ayla, most of the people present here were strong enough to hear soone's whisper even from quite far away, resulting in all of them laughing out loud when they heard Ayla's whisper.
"Big Brother Cain, why don't you marry her? Then you'd be really rich and wouldn't have to work anymore. You could just focus on teaching to get stronger!" Ayla whispered with a low voice.
