Omnipotent Husband System-Chapter 420: Rising Phoenix Nation.
Hao Ren stood on the ground, looking at the approaching horse riders. Suddenly, he noticed the leading horse man yell, "How dare you block the path of the Empress? Die!"
The horseman aimed his halberd at Hao Ren's chest. The young man just watched the entire scene unfold, without any intention of making any move. Within a moment, the halberd hit his chest. However, the blood and gore that the soldier was looking forward to didn't happen. Hao Ren turned to the side, and the halberd went past him. He looked at the soldier and said, "Kneel."
Yin sighed and said, "Alka, Ramji, Deepa, you kids stand behind me."
The trio did as they were told, and they watched the soldier jumping off the horse and kneeling on the ground beside Hao Ren with a dazed expression on his face. The convoy was still a few dozen meters away when they noticed this and the centurion in the lead yelled, "Halt!"
The formation stopped moving instantly, and the centurion, "Who are you?! What do you mean by blocking the road?"
Hao Ren sighed and said, "Are all of you blind?"
The centurion clenched his fist, but then Hao Ren took a step forward and appeared before the centurion, he slapped the guy across his face and sent him flying. This person was in the Dao Integration realm, but in this world, Unless you have reached the Dao Realm, you are just an ant.
After the slap, Hao Ren unleashed his aura like a tidal wave and caused the soldiers to freeze. A pleasant voice echoed from the carriage in the center of the formation, "May I ask which senior is here? Forgive me for not being able to get out of the car, I am not well, Senior."
Hao Ren sighed, and said, "Lady, I don't mean ill, but I am traveling with my daughter and students. We stopped to have a meal, and your convoy happened to be heading at us as well, that is why I stood on the side of the road. Yet two of your people have attacked or either accused me of blocking the path. I ask you, is this just?"
The people were silent, they looked at the centurion who was sprawled on the ground at the side, and then at the forerunner who was kneeling on the ground as if a monk. The door of the carriage opened and a young lady stepped down. She walked forward and bowed to Hao Ren as she said, "Senior, My Empress is suffering from a strange disease and she is hurriedly heading back to the capital to be treated. Please forgive these men for their insolence. They are just overly worried about the Crown."
Hao Ren sighed and said, "Fine, if you say so. Please leave, I wish your Empress a speedy recovery."
The young maid bowed again and dashed back to the carriage. Hao Ren went back to the side of the road and watched the convoy move away and gradually vanish.
Yin looked at him and asked, "What is this about?"
Hao Ren looked at her, and she continued, "You were about to eliminate them, why did you stop?"
The young man smiled and said, "I would have killed but that lady in the carriage is kind. It's just a pity."
He sighed, and Alka asked, "Teacher, what is pitiful?"
Hao Ren replied, "In this world there are poisons that can affect someone's soul. That lady in the carriage was suffering from a Soul Dispersing Poison. She doesn't have much time left so it is understandable that they were in a hurry."
Yin thought of something and said, "We should also get going."
They cleaned up and began to ride ahead. Ramji and Deepa were still running behind Hao Ren while Alka was suppressing her realm on the horseback. They travelled for four days before they reached a big city.
As they slowed down while approaching the city, Yin noticed something and said, "The same crest as the one on the carriage from that day."
Hao Ren raised his head and found a flagpost. The flag had a Phoenix rising through the clouds. He nodded, it was indeed the same mark as the one on the carriage.
They arrived at the gates, paid the toll and entered the city. They could only let the horses follow them as they walked on foot. Hao Ren looked around and found that the place was rather prosperous. He thought of something and asked, "Yin, what do you think, shall we stay here for a couple of months? I will use this time to find sword cultivators."
Yin thought for a bit and said, "What you want to do is fine, but what about the kids?"
Hao Ren looked at the three kids behind him and asked, "If I tell you guys that within the time we stay here your cultivation will improve and going out you would be able to hold your end better against the odds. Would you agree to stay here?"
Alka nodded and said, "Teacher, we will follow your arrangements."
Hao Ren smiled and patted her head dotingly before they found their way directly to a tavern and after tying the horses outside, the five of them sat inside the tavern and ordered some snacks. Alka and the two boys looked around carefully, when Yin tapped the table twice with her finger.
She said, "Taverns are the places where you can gather information. Focus and filter what is being said around you."
The three of them were surprised, because they didn't expect that Yin would teach them street smarts. They began to learn, and Hao Ren waved his hand to a young waiter.
The young man came over and asked, "Guest, what can I get you?"
Hao Ren asked, "One jar of your finest wine, and nice and spicy chicken legs. Umm, also, some spiritual soup for the three kids."
The waiter nodded and bowed as he said, "I will get it right away."
The waiter came back after a few minutes with the order. Hao Ren passed him in spirit stones. The waiter said, "Sir, this all doesn't cost this much."
Hao Ren said, "I will pay the bill later, that was yours."
The waiter was surprised and quickly stowed the spirit stones away, Hao Ren asked, "Do you know who is the best swordsman in this city?"
The waiter nodded and said, "There are three sword fairies in the city, they all are imperial guards. They are responsible for the city guard, Lady Yumina, the other is responsible for the Palace Guard, Lord Tian. The last but not the least is the Dean of the Rising Phoenix University, Lord Kamath."
Hao Ren nodded and tossed the man, remaining spirit stones. They ate and ate the food, before they left the tavern. They came to a real estate shop. Don't look down on the setting of these cultivation cities, selling and buying houses was one of the best businesses.
Hao Ren went inside and he found a fat man sleeping off in a chair. He snapped his finger and the fat man woke up with a smile and said, "Welcome customer. Please have a seat, what can I do for you?"
Hao Ren said, "I want to buy a courtyard."
The fat man opened his eyes wide and said, "You have come to the right place. We do have several places to select from. The price is the best in the market."
Hao Ren nodded and they began to deal, however, after a few minutes, the Fat Man was shocked to see that Hao Ren knew this business so well. The fat man asked, "Young Master, you are not from some rival shop are you?"
Hao Ren was amused and shook his head as he said, "I used to live in a far away place and used to deal in such things. Now, can you show us the courtyard and sign the agreement?"
The man stood up, went to the side, took out several Jade cards, and then said, "Please follow me."

Within a couple of hours of coming to the city, Hao Ren bought a house and a rather big one at that. Then he sent the children outside to buy some stuff while he began to clean up and set up the teleportation array in his basement.
After everything was done, the children came back, and they all ate with smiles on their faces. Yin and Hao Ren were standing in the garden at night when the young lady asked, "What do you intend to do with the practice? It is not hard to get them to meet our current status."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "I was thinking if I should heal the empress?"
Yin frowned in thought before she said, "The idea is great, but you would need to maintain the secret. We might offend the person who did this to her, and if they came at us, then the kids would be in trouble."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I know, I will find a way."
