After Hu Lei and the others left, only Wu You and a group of various alchemical creatures who had participated in the construction remained on the mountain tree.
Of course, there are also the vast number and diverse species of birds that inhabit the treetops and branches of the mountains.
These birds are used to all kinds of sounds around the mountains and trees, and even during the construction of the manor, they can fly by calmly.
With its broad and inclusive spirit, the mountain trees allow all the surrounding plants and animals to live and grow in peace.
Even though it's the birds' resting time, Wu You can still hear some occasional bird calls.
This is different from the noisy croaking of frogs that Wu You heard in his room during spring and summer when he was a child. Back then, there was no air conditioning, and with the hot weather and many frogs, it was both restless and hot to sleep at night.
The occasional birdsong from the trees in the mountains, however, is different. Far from being noisy, it gives this vast space a unique sense of leisure and tranquility.
Even Wu You felt his heart was much calmer; this was the peculiarity of the mountain trees.
He suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that he had created the Mountain Tree in the early stages; otherwise, with his mind now filled with all sorts of creative ideas, even the idea of the World Tree might have been delayed indefinitely.
The mountain tree is sentient and intelligent. It will actively communicate with Wu You, but only within the natural canopy of the sky, and only with things that it believes have an impact on Wu You.
Wu You liked the mountains and trees very much because they allowed him to communicate with them in a peaceful way.
The alchemical creatures dispersed; those that could fly flew away, while others descended on their own along the trunks of the trees in the mountain range.
I glanced at the manor buildings that had been built on the main trunks of the mountain tree. It would be a real shame if they were destroyed during the upgrade process.
Strictly speaking, this series of manor buildings is also alive. Wu You reached out and pressed his hand against the wall of the main building, a thought flashing through his mind.
After a flash of black light, Wu You and one of the buildings disappeared into the trunks of the trees in the mountain range.
After several trips, the entire manor complex on the mountain trees disappeared.
In contrast, on one of the cloud-shrouded peaks of the Tianyun Mountains in the Eastern Realm, a cluster of buildings appeared, nestled between the summit and the cliff face.
Each building is supported by the roots of thick vine-like organisms at its base; some stand directly on the mountaintop, while others hang more than ten meters off the cliff.
All the buildings are connected by vines to form wide and stable suspension bridges.
Wu You had complete control over the alchemical creatures; with the entire building already completed, setting up a base and connecting them was a piece of cake.
Just half an hour later.
A magnificent manor, towering over a thousand meters high and surrounded by clouds and mist like a celestial abode, has been completed.
Wu You hovered in the air, looking down at the buildings, resting his chin on his hand and looking left and right, indicating that he was very satisfied with his artistic talent.
"It seems like something's missing?"
A few minutes later, at a slightly lower point on the mountain, the entrance to a villa made of multicolored rose thorns appeared, with two lines of words growing from the thorns at the top.
The text above is in Chinese: "Ten Thousand Beasts Manor," and the text below is in the Eastern Realm, both meaning the same thing: Ten Thousand Beasts Manor.
Okay, that's about right.
This place is much better than the private residence in Leping City, making Wu You very comfortable. He guesses it would be even better for spending the night.
Hu Lei and his team are truly geniuses. After several expansions, their architectural designs incorporated styles from all over the world and from mythology, yet they all coexisted harmoniously in one place.
Wu You descended into a main house with a spire-like design and a fantastical atmosphere.
*Smack!*
After a snap of his fingers, two voluptuous female vampires appeared before him. These were the two who often helped Wu You clean the house while his parents were away on vacation.
The female vampire was indeed very beautiful, but the wings on her back ruined Wu You's aesthetic sense. Even though the human mimic couldn't see them, Wu You knew that the wings were retracted and pressed tightly against her back, so they weren't actually missing.
Uh, there's nothing wrong with a smooth-bodied black-winged girl... Hold on, hold on, long live socialist harmony!
Get rid of the bad thoughts in your mind.
"Normally, this place is left to you. If someone accidentally wanders in, well, you can decide what to do."
After saying this, Wu You disappeared from the spot.
We also need to prepare a special material, because during the subsequent upgrade and cultivation, there may be a situation where the cultivation potential is exhausted, and the mountain tree will need to be refined again.
Recently, the only material that has interested Wu You the most is spiritual beings.
...
More than an hour later, the prefect of Leping City personally led the way with constables, followed by E'shou Wang Fugui and Wu You.
Before long, the group arrived at the dungeon in Leping City.
The prison held a total of 36 criminals, some of whom were just petty thieves, some were notorious bandits, and some were wrongfully arrested.
Now, regardless of their health, all 36 people were escorted to the dungeon hall by the two top constables of the yamen and a group of constables.
Surrounded by gleaming knives, heavy handcuffs and leg irons, and suffering from long-term malnutrition, even the prisoners with martial arts skills dared not move.
The two constables, their breaths deep and drawn-out, stared intently at several key criminals in the crowd with eyes as sharp as eagles.
Their official rank was only slightly lower than that of the Prefectural Magistrate, and their martial arts skills were even stronger than those of the Prefectural Magistrate. They were also qualified to know about the affairs of the Immortal Mansion's Ten Thousand Beasts Manor.
We just received news that the people in the Immortal Abode need a group of prisoners. How could the government dare to be negligent? We immediately made preparations.
The prefectural magistrate entered the dungeon first, then stepped aside to let Wang Fugui and Wu You in.
"Your Majesty, all 36 prisoners are here, at your disposal."
Upon hearing this, a bald man with a sallow complexion immediately shouted out from the crowd.
"My lord, I'm innocent! Please, have mercy and save me..."
One of the top constables shouted, "How dare you!"
In a flash, the figure was in front of the person, and swung his palm like the wind, striking the person's cheek.
"Smack..."
With a loud thud, four or five yellow teeth mixed with blood flew off to the other side.
The top constable moved again and returned to his original position, while the bald man who had just spoken had his cheeks swollen to twice their normal size and could no longer utter a word.
Several other people wanted to protest their innocence, but seeing this scene, they swallowed their words and could only look at Wang Fugui and Wu You with expectant eyes.
"My lord, is the quantity sufficient? If not, there are too many refugees in the city."
Wang Fugui spoke with a smile as usual.
These words gave the prisoners a sense of foreboding, but their hope remained undiminished, and they all turned their gazes toward Wu You, who appeared to be the youngest among them.
It's clear that this is the person in charge who has the final say.
"Good, that's enough."
After Wu You finished speaking, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he reached out to the person furthest to the outside, who was one of the people the constable was keeping a close eye on.
From the very beginning, the old man had been looking at Wu You and Wang Fugui with a mocking gaze.
Wu You smiled at him, mentally deprived!
The next second, Wu You saw a highly concentrated mass of spiritual matter teleport to his hand.
The old man then collapsed without warning.
To the magistrate, the constables, and other bystanders, all they saw was Wu You raise his hand as if to lift and grab something, and the former notorious bandit suddenly collapsed.
Everyone knew how ruthless this old man was, and he had never shown such an abnormally weak state before; even a branding iron couldn't make his knees bend an inch.
And this bizarre situation...
Apart from Wu You and Wang Fugui, everyone present got goosebumps all over their bodies, and their hair stood on end.
