820 Fanning the Flames, Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone (1)

During the early stages of the war, the three provinces in Fenghai County that were taken away by the Holy Wave Race were taken over by the Seventh Prince after the war ended.

However, even now, he hadn’t returned them to Fenghai County.

This matter was reasonable. After all, the Seventh Prince had conquered the three provinces and Fenghai County had made preparations for a compensated agreement.

However, the Seventh Prince had shown no intention of negotiating previously. Within those three provinces, there are still many of the Seventh Prince’s troops stationed.

Since this was an internal matter of the human race, the Holy Wave Race wouldn’t interfere. These three provinces produced spirit stones and possessed many mines that contained precious refining materials, making them quite valuable for the future recovery of Fenghai County.

Hence, they couldn’t give them up.

It was only during this occasion that the Seventh Prince extended an invitation to Xu Qing and broached the topic of discussing owners.h.i.+p.

“Marquis Yao hoped that you could make a trip there, but I didn’t agree immediately. Fourth, you can decide on your own.”

“However, in terms of safety, there’s no major problem. If anything happens to you on this trip, the Seventh Prince won’t be able to escape responsibility. With his personality, he won’t be so stupid.”

Old Master Seventh pointed out the pros and cons to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing fell silent. He thought of some of Marquis Yao’s previous arrangements, including the county that Fenghai County was secretly taking over.

That place didn’t border Fenghai County. To Fenghai County, it was of little value but to the Seventh Prince, it had a different meaning.

“From the looks of it now, Marquis Yao should have expected this. His plan is indeed brilliant.”

Xu Qing thought about it. Eldest Senior Brother hadn’t returned yet, so he still had some time here.

Marquis Yao, his master, and everyone he met during his travels were all putting efforts for the stability of Fenghai County. Since he had enjoyed more than half of the fortune of Fenghai County, he naturally had to bear the corresponding responsibility.

In addition, he was sure that the day Eldest Senior Brother returned would be the day he left the county.

Xu Qing had also investigated the location of the Moon Wors.h.i.+p Region. It was very far from Fenghai County, on the other side of the Holy Wave Region, separated by a long river called Sacrificial Yin.

That place was naturally the territory of the human race during the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether Era. However, it was lost over time, and now, it did not belong to the Black Heaven Race either.

However, it had another name in the Black Heaven Race.

Spirit Enclosure.

Enclosure had a lot of meaning. It could be a land for raising livestock or place where essences gathered.

As for the details, the information Xu Qing checked didn’t have any more descriptions. This might also be the reason why the captain went out to collect more information.

Hence, Xu Qing wanted to do something for Fenghai County before he left. He didn’t refuse.

Just like that, a few days later, a large army set off from Fenghai County.

This trip was led by the Sword Holding Palace’s Palace Master, Li Yunshan. There were also two new Deputy Palace Masters from the Observance Palace and the Law Palace accompanying him.

There were also six deacons from the three palaces.

The army was mainly composed of the cultivators of the Sword Holding Palace. They chose 20,000 Sword Holders who had experienced many battles, and left Fenghai County in a majestic manner.

Kong Xianglong also partic.i.p.ated in this trip.

After the calamity brought by the old deputy governor, Kong Xianglong rarely drank alcohol. Other than his own cultivation, he spent most of his energy on the Secretariat Department and obtained great authority.

He was also valued by Li Yunshan who treated him as the future successor of Fenghai County’s Sword Holding Palace.

The army moved majestically on thousands of huge wars.h.i.+ps. Their enormous shadows covered the mountains and rivers on the ground.

At the front was a huge ancient bronze sword. Li Yunshan and the Nihility experts of Fenghai County were all on it.

Behind the ancient sword was Old Master Seventh’s great wing. Its black body gave off a murderous feeling, stirring up a violent wind that enveloped the surroundings.

Xu Qing was looking at the distant sky from a building on the great wing.

The mountain range on the ground undulated. After the army went through several teleportations, they appeared at the previous western front line territory.

When they arrived here, all the flying wars.h.i.+ps stopped in the sky.

Countless gazes landed on the ground. They looked at the land that hadn’t completely recovered, the several fissures that the Sword Holding Palace Master had slashed down back then, and… the place where the Palace Master had died in battle.

Everyone lowered their heads and mourned for him.

Xu Qing stared and bowed deeply.

Kong Xianglong was expressionless beside Xu Qing and only closed his eyes.

After a long time, the flying wars.h.i.+ps continued forward, leaving this sad battlefield toward the direction of the Holy Wave Race.

Kong Xianglong opened his eyes but didn’t look behind him. Instead, he looked in the direction of the Holy Wave Race and calmly spoke.

“Xu Qing, I want to see what kind of people those human elites from this generation are.”

After Kong Xianglong was in charge of the entire county’s layout of the Secretariat Department, his attire changed. At that moment, he was wearing black armor and his entire person emitted a murderous aura.

His gaze was cold and his expression was dignified.

With this appearance, he already vaguely resembled the figure of the old Palace Master.

His cultivation base had also increased. Two years ago, he had ten Heavenly Palaces. After experiencing many things, as the number one heaven’s chosen in Fenghai County back then, not only did the number of Heavenly Palaces increase, they were also already in the process of forming nascent souls.

Kong Xianglong’s choice was the same as Xu Qing’s previous choice. He wanted to wait for all his nascent souls to form before he underwent the tribulation, so that he could obtain more heavenly mandates.

From his aura and energy fluctuations, it seemed like he would undergo his tribulation in a few months at most.

“They shouldn’t be simple,” Xu Qing said softly.

Just like that, several days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.

The group entered the Holy Wave Race’s territory, encountering no dangers or obstacles along the way. With the help of the teleportation arrays here, they arrived at the area where the Ten Guts Trees used to be on the evening of the day of the private banquet hosted by the Seventh Prince.
