Her talent in cultivation could be considered very impressive. Moreover, her dual cultivation with Wang Jian every night resulted in her Qi actually becoming even more formidable.
Her cultivation easily broke through to the Spirit Realm and allowed her to reach the fifth level of the Spirit Realm in one go. This was because of her Innate Energy Vessel Physique that allowed her to generate a huge amount of qi during her dual cultivation with Wang Jian.
Moreover, Su Xian hadn't yet completely absorbed the energy she had acquired from Wang Jian. She required time to get used to this level before she could absorb it any further.
Su Xian had a feeling that she could reach the Origin Realm after absorbing that entire energy.
Wang Jian seemed mildly satisfied with her progress. He actually wanted to use her to suppress his other women in the harem.
He wanted her to act as his wife because none of Lin Feng's other women was qualified. Their relationship had advanced a step further than Lin Feng's and Su Xian's as they had married him.
It would be a much harder task to change their perception of him, and that probably wouldn't change even if he took their purity.
However, Su Xian was different. This woman had completely surrendered to Wang Jian, so she could easily manage these women and deal with some miscellaneous matters in the household.
In the meantime, the situation had turned worse for the Crimson Mammoth Warriors.
This was all because the Miracle Angel Tribe members discovered that the Crimson Mammoth Warriors had split into many teams and were searching for their base.
The Miracle Angel Tribe members traced their tracks and soon found their underground hideout.
After discovering this underground hideout, the Miracle Angel Tribe members immediately threw their most poisonous insect, known as the Venomous Shimmer Ant, that they had gathered in the last few days to deal with the Crimson Mammoth Warriors.
The Venomous Shimmer Ant is a rare and deadly species found deep in the Mellow Magnolia Woods.
These ants are small in size, with a shiny black exoskeleton that glimmers in the sunlight. They move quickly and silently, making them hard to detect. Their venom is a potent neurotoxin that causes excruciating pain and paralysis, eventually leading to a slow, torturous death for their prey.
The venom of the Venomous Shimmer Ant is so deadly that even a single sting can kill a human being within hours. The poison acts by attacking the nervous system, causing the victim to experience convulsions, spasms, and, eventually, paralysis. The victim is then left completely immobilized while still fully conscious to experience the full extent of the pain and suffering caused by the venom.
Even Kang Fu, the leader of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors, was stung by this ant.
Wang Jian came to know this information quickly though his spy among the Crimson Mammoth Warriors.
He never expected the Miracle Angel Tribe to possess such a trick. They were much more capable than he imagined.
Wang Jian decided to visit Kang Huian's infirmary after learning this important information. As he entered the room, he was met with the sight of Kang Huian lying on the bed, her face pale and gaunt with exhaustion. Dark circles had formed under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't slept for at least two days.
"Wake up," Wang Jian spoke. His voice was infused with spiritual energy that struck Kang Huian's soul and forced her to open her eyes.
"W-what is it?" Kang Huian opened her eyes.
Wang Jian approached Kang Huian with a stern expression. His voice was cold as he delivered the news, "I have come to deliver an urgent message. Your father is on the brink of death."
Kang Huian's eyes shot open as she sat upright, her heart racing with panic. "What?! How could this be? What do you mean?" she demanded, her tone laced with desperation and fear.
Wang Jian's lips curved into a cruel smirk as he enjoyed the sight of her distress. "Exactly what I said."
He added, "I don't exactly know. But it seems that the Miracle Angel Tribe's sneak attack succeeded. As for more detailed information, you need to get that directly from your clan."
Observing the flicker of anxiety on her countenance, Wang Jian anticipated that Kang Huian would hasten to her father's side without delay. "Given the gravity of the situation, I shall make an exception," he announced with a measured tone.
"You may return to your clan's hideout and assess his condition. If you come back within a day, I shall overlook this breach and honour our original agreement. But let me remind you, should you seek any additional favours, be ready to make a commensurate offer."
As soon as his ultimatum had concluded, Kang Huian sprang out of the window and sprinted towards her clan's sanctuary.
As Kang Huian rushed towards her clan's hideout, she was lucky that their new underground location was on her route. Otherwise, she would have wasted precious time searching for them. As she approached the hideout, she felt the familiar resonance of her bloodline, leading her straight to them.
With worry in her heart, Kang Huian hurried inside and was met with a sight that filled her with dread. Her kin were all in a sorry state, clearly in the midst of a dire situation. Without wasting any time, she asked urgently, "What happened? Why are you all in such a condition?"
"Young miss. It's the young miss. She is back!" The entire clan cheered upon her return.
"…Young miss. This was the act of those despicable members of the Miracle Angel Tribe. They spread those venomous ants that bit us and poisoned us. If not for our powerful vitality, I am afraid we would have died already. Clan head has lost consciousness as the ants bit him the most," explained one of Kang Huian's kins.
"N-No way! This was done by that peaceful Miracle Angel Tribe?!" Kang Huian was startled to realize this fact.
"That's right, young miss. After master waged war on the Miracle Angel Tribe, they joined hands with the Night Dagger Clan and have continued to target us with these cowardly methods," spoke another member.
"…Cough-cough…I want nothing more than to tear those bastards a new asshole. Slaughtering those self-righteous nasty bunch will be satisfying!" Many other members agreed with this reasoning.
