The Old Duke of Wei passed away, and the predecessor had only just taken the title. The system in his mind was mostly broken, leaving only an attribute panel showing his cultivation as Late Golden Core Stage with the Blood Battle Sutra, and two functions: troop summoning, which could summon 200 Crusaders annually, and magical beast essence extraction for troop upgrades.Calling himself lucky to have a powerful identity, Mo Yunxuan set out for the military camp with the steward Wang Yuan, a Peak Transformation God cultivator with 98 loyalty. He decided to test the system, summoning 200 Crusaders to the training ground. The Crusaders were all yellow-skinned, their cultivation system converted to this world's, practicing the Blood Battle Sutra like himself. However, they could not improve on their own but could grow by fusing magical beast essence. Mo Yunxuan planned to use fierce beasts as essence sources to mass-produce high-level combat power.He named the Crusaders the Trap Camp, equipped them with defensive heavy armor, and brought them along with 800 personal guards who were all Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, including one at Peak Transformation God and several others. The procession attracted attention in the capital, with onlookers commenting on how the new Duke had quickly won the loyalty of the personal guards and criticizing the high cost of training body cultivators.Passing by the Anle Marquis Estate, a commotion drew Mo Yunxuan's attention. The Anle Marquis, Jun Tianxiao, was publicly humiliating Li Qinghan, daughter of the Censor-in-chief, after she proposed to break off their engagement. Jun Tianxiao demanded all his gifts returned, accusing her of being fickle. Mo Yunxuan observed from the carriage roof, noting that Jun Tianxiao's behavior seemed like a transmigrator's villainous act, and he spotted a protagonist-type figure, Lin Fan, lurking in the corner.Li Qinghan calmly agreed to return everything and warned Jun Tianxiao to mind his words. Lin Fan then jumped in to defend her, but Jun Tianxiao's guard, Zhao Yun, easily threw him out. Mo Yunxuan recognized Zhao Yun as a Chinese hero summoned by Jun Tianxiao, a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator who could fight across realms.Mo Yunxuan concluded that while Jun Tianxiao could summon heroes, his own yearly supply of 200 body cultivator experts, who could also fight above their level, gave him a numerical advantage. He felt confident in his position, ready to secure his power and eventually challenge even the Empress.
