"Master Qian, from now on, I will leave the Offering Hall to you," Jiang Han instructed, sitting on the throne reserved for the Manichaeism Leader, his gaze serious as he addressed the trembling Master Qian standing nearby.
The Offering Hall is a significant force within Manichaeism, boasting over seventy Guest Elders at the Innate Realm and four Half-Step Martial Arts Grandmasters. Master Qian's cultivation is sufficient to suppress anyone in the Offering Hall who dares to cause trouble.
Jiang Han felt a bit worried that Master Qian's overly gentle nature might lead him to avoid offending others.
Master Qian immediately bowed and said, "Rest assured, Leader. I will manage the Offering Hall well and ensure it remains orderly. Anyone who breaks the rules will face severe punishment."
In the martial world, being too accommodating does not lead to longevity, nor does it allow one to break through to Grandmaster of Martial Arts. Those like Master Qian, who have struggled and fought their way up, are seasoned veterans who understand many matters clearly.
Seeing that Jiang Han was in good spirits, Master Qian hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to ask, "Leader, what about the marketplace?"
After all, he had spent many years in the marketplace; it would be disingenuous to say he had no feelings for it. Now that Yunzhou was firmly under Manichaeism's control, it wouldn't be long before the nearby marketplace also faced devastation.
Especially concerning Mall Lord Shang Wanli, who had once shown him kindness; it was difficult for him to let go of that old sentiment.
Jiang Han glanced at him, causing master Qian to feel uneasy. He then spoke, "The marketplace must be brought under my control by Manichaeism. However, there is still room for discussion on how exactly to bring it under control."
The marketplace is a crucial area, being one of the three passes. If Manichaeism can firmly grasp the marketplace, it would be equivalent to having a commercial trade port. The products from the Western Regions, Xiliang, and Yunzhou could be sold outward without being drained by the Wandering Merchants from the Central Plains.
master Qian let out a sigh of relief. He was worried that his leader would recklessly resort to extreme measures, causing bloodshed in the marketplace. The development and gradual prosperity of the marketplace could not be achieved through violent means.
"This matter will be discussed later. If I am not mistaken, trouble will soon come knocking at our door," Jiang Han said.
master Qian was taken aback but saw Jiang Han wave his hand, indicating he did not wish to elaborate further.
"Then... what about the martial arts inheritance you promised earlier?" master Qian asked cautiously. He had come specifically for the martial arts inheritance. At his current Realm, wealth and numerous wives were no longer his pursuits; instead, he craved the scenery along the path of martial arts.
Jiang Han laughed heartily and said, "Go find Fan Yao and tell him what I said: you are allowed to choose one set of Heavenly Tier Martial Arts inheritance!"
Manichaeism is no longer what it used to be; its foundation is now quite substantial. Even the Heavenly Tier Martial Arts have surpassed mere handfuls. Master Qian was overjoyed upon hearing this and exited the great hall with a spring in his step.
Sure enough, not long after, Fan Yao came to report that Master Qian had chosen the Three Parts Return to Original Qi and also selected another advanced Earth Tier martial art. "The Three Parts Return to Original Qi? Quite a discerning choice," Jiang Han remarked with a slight nod.
The potential of the Three Parts Return to Original Qi is considerable; as long as it continuously integrates with other martial arts principles, it can theoretically keep advancing indefinitely. The battle involving Manichaeism in Yunzhou has stirred up immense waves in the martial world!
If it were merely Yunzhou falling into the hands of Manichaeism, the martial world might have dismissed it as just a topic for casual conversation. After all, Yunzhou's presence in the Zongwu World has been minimal; for over a thousand years, it has hardly made any significant moves. Moreover, like the Western Regions and Xiliang, Yunzhou has always been regarded as a desolate place, looked down upon by the Central Plains Martial Arts World.
However, with the news of Cangjian Mountain Villa's Sword Master Liu Chenjiang meeting his demise at the hands of Manichaeism Leader Jiang Han spreading, the entire Zongwu World became ablaze with excitement. The commotion caused by Manichaeism this time is indeed unprecedented.
The mid-to-high-level martial artists in Yunzhou have nearly been wiped out, and those who rushed to aid Azure Peak Sect were also annihilated without a trace. Even the well-known Grandmaster of Martial Arts Liu Chenjiang fell at Jiang Han's hands.
The ever-sensitive martial arts community received the news with great excitement. For them, the more explosive and thrilling the news, the greater the potential for profit.
Some bold media outlets set their sights on Jiang Han, even compiling a booklet detailing his various information.

Many in the martial arts world who saw this information couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. The commotion caused by Jiang Han was indeed significant and showed no signs of settling down.
