With the help of Ling Feng, the rise of the Gold Gathering City was unstoppable. Furthermore, the first Treasure House branch was established. It could be considered to have a place in the intricately connected forces of the Bedlam Lands!

More importantly, because of the series of actions Ling Feng had taken against the city guards, Gold Gathering City had gained a lot of supporters in the Bedlam Lands, especially the mercenaries who were fighting outside. The entire family had moved to Gold Gathering City!

This caused Gold Gathering City to become bustling, but at the same time, it also became crowded. A small city like Gold Gathering City was no longer enough to satisfy the development of a powerful force! Thus, the first expansion of Gold Gathering City began!

Unlike other forces, the expansion of the Gold Gathering City was not violent. Instead, it was an expansion in the economic field. Furthermore, many cities were very welcoming because Jin Yuyan had opened a branch of the Treasure House inside their city!

After all, this way, not only would it increase their taxes, it would also cause the city's economy. This sort of win-win situation was naturally welcomed by many forces! On the other hand, the Treasure House had gained the right to develop as well. Moreover, they had gained an interest from many forces. Thus, their foothold in the Bedlam Lands was much more stable!

Within three months of the end of the war with the Qingfeng Stronghold, the Treasure House had already opened six branches in the Bedlam Lands! Even in the world of Ling Feng's previous life, this speed was definitely that of a "chain store" with rapid development …

This kind of chain store development allowed the Treasure House to grow very quickly. In just three months' time, the revenue was already more than in the previous three years! Moreover, the growth rate was still increasing. The huge benefits were something Jin Yuyan could never have imagined!

Of course, the huge benefits would naturally attract the jealousy of other forces. There were even some forces that began to spy on the business of the Treasure House, and there were even some forces that began to fight with the Treasure House!

However, after Ling Feng had dispatched the Blood Wolf Army, all of this disharmony never happened again!

In this land of chaos, whether it was economic development or territorial development, there was no way for a power to stand firm in the face of such a situation! Although in these three months, the strength of Gold Gathering City had increased very quickly, just the city guards alone had increased by several times!

However, this kind of power could only protect itself in the Bedlam Lands! Moreover, the twenty thousand soldiers were led by Zhao Zhong. If it was Jin Yuyan, not to mention twenty thousand, she might not even be able to lead the two thousand men properly!

On the other hand, in terms of earning money, even ten Zhao Zhong couldn't compare to one Jin Yuyan! Everyone had their own areas of expertise, so the cooperation between Ling Feng and Jin Yuyan wouldn't decrease just because of rapid development. It would only deepen!

The development of the military force in the Gold Gathering City was now on the right track. As for the Blood Wolf Army in the Qingfeng Stronghold, they had undergone a qualitative change! The 80,000 captives, under the efforts of Lu Tianji and the three Gao brothers, were finally almost completely subdued!

Apart from a few stubborn factions in the Qingfeng Stronghold, most of them had already chosen to submit to Ling Feng and join the Blood Wolf Army. This caused the number of the Blood Wolf Army to suddenly increase by 80,000.

However, these 90,000 people were mainly still under the control of the original Blood Wolf Army. Furthermore, the original Blood Wolf Army was instructing and training the new members! This would not only deepen the feelings between them, but also enhance the sense of belonging of those who had pledged allegiance to them!

After three months of training, this team of over 90,000 soldiers had already made initial progress. Although it wasn't as elite as the original Blood Wolf Army, it was definitely an elite in the Bedlam Lands. It wasn't any weaker than the trump cards of the top ten forces!

At the same time that the Treasure House rose in power, so did Ling Feng's power! Furthermore, the power that Ling Feng had in his hands was not any weaker than that of the former Qingfeng Stronghold. It was about time for Ling Feng to expand!

Unlike Jin Yuyan's Treasure House, Ling Feng's expansion was more aggressive. Ling Feng needed to be brought along as a territory, not as money! Even though Ling Feng and Jin Yuyan worked closely together, the two of them were not the same person. They each had their own paths to travel in!

Ling Feng needed a large amount of money to support him, and Jin Yuyan needed a powerful force to protect herself, so the cooperation between both sides was for both of them to take what they needed!

Now that Ling Feng had already helped her, Jin Yuyan's Treasure House branch would be located in other cities in the Bedlam Lands. Ling Feng would also have his own territory, and even Jin Yu Yan would have a Gold Gathering City as her territory!

Although the Qingfeng Stronghold was considered to be a territory, as a stronghold where bandits gathered, its construction was very simple and crude. In order to make it convenient for defense, the stronghold was built halfway up the mountain.

Therefore, Ling Feng definitely needed a territory to develop in, and this territory could only be used in comparison to others. This was the law of the Bedlam Lands! As for Ling Feng, he needed a city with a large scale, convenient transportation, and great potential for development as his territory!

After Ling Feng had inspected the Pure Wind Stronghold and found that it met Ling Feng's requirements, there was actually such a city that met the requirements! Moreover, this city did not have any intentions of working with Jin Yuyan. There were no conflicts of interest between her interests, so it was the best choice. The name of this city was Fire Bamboo City!

This Fire Bamboo City was a city where many powers allied with each other. It was named because it was a nearby city that produced Fire Bamboo! Fire Bamboo was a high grade material for making crossbows, and it could also be used as a refining material for forging items!

It was precisely because of the fire bamboo that Fire Bamboo City had become a place where countless forces fought over it! However, in the end, none of the forces in Fire Bamboo City were able to do anything to them. In the end, they decided to form an alliance and jointly manage and share Fire Bamboo City!

The reason why Fire Bamboo City was opposed to cooperating with the Treasure House was because they were worried that they would receive a share of the spoils from the Treasure House. After all, there were many forces in the Fire Bamboo City.

The Fire Bamboo City and the Qingfeng Stronghold were very similar in this aspect. However, the only difference was that one of them was developing their own power while the other was stealing from others!

After choosing his target, he would need more information! As a result, the 'intelligence organization' under Ling Feng's command, which was not very mature, began to scout around Fire Bamboo City!

These subordinates of Ling Feng, could not even become an 'intelligence organization'! These were the people Ling Feng had sent out to look at the news before the battle at Gold Gathering City. After that battle, these people had always been led by Ling Feng and continuously developed. Finally, after three months, they developed to the point that they had the intention of becoming an 'intelligence organization'!

Too many confidential information could not be found, but some basic information about some cities could not be found. For example, how many soldiers were guarding the city? Where are they guarding? The power relationships within the city … Wait a minute, I can still obtain these basic information!

Information regarding Fire Bamboo City had already been collected. Ling Feng also had the Blood Wolf Army begin their preparations. Once the information about Fire Bamboo City was gathered, Ling Feng would begin his first expansion! Their target this time was Fire Bamboo City!

The battle began again after three months. It was just that this time, Ling Feng was no longer protecting one side, but attacking and seizing the territory!
