Chapter 545 - Chapter 670

After listening for a while, Henry Chu roughly figured out the identities of the two people.

One of them has the surname Liu and the other has the surname Chu.

They are all Yuanying elders of Zilei Mountain.

The two of them had average aptitude, and after entering the Nascent Soul stage, they could no longer advance.

From then on, he no longer thought about reaching a higher level and focused on expanding his family.

Therefore, they often get together to discuss how to have many children and be blessed with good fortune.

Taking a woman who practices the magic of a beautiful woman as a concubine is one of the methods that the elder surnamed Chu came up with.

"No, you two really don't talk about anything serious when you get together?"

"After all, he is a Yuanying elder!"

"Can you please pay attention to the current situation?"

Chu Xuan sighed again.

I wish I could rush up to these two people, give them each a big slap in the face, and severely reprimand them for their passive and lazy behavior!

At this time, Elder Chu suddenly said, "By the way, have you heard about the recent major events?"

Elder Liu was stunned. "What's going on? The sect master and his closed disciple practicing double cultivation without the knowledge of the great elder?"

Elder Chu was stunned. "Ah? There is such a thing?"

Elder Liu quickly covered his mouth and said, "Be careful with your words! Ahem, I only heard it from others, it can't be counted."

"Tell me what that great event is that you are talking about."

Elder Chu sighed, "Of course it's the Creation Cave! This is the most important thing! Love is nothing compared to that!"

Elder Liu smiled awkwardly and said, "Go on, please."

Elder Chu whispered, "The last time I went to escort the spiritual herbs, I heard the two Spiritual Transformation Elders from the Upper Sect discussing something. They said that the Yellow Dragon Daoist Monarch from the Creation Cave Heaven had already gone to that Xuling Mountain."

"Originally, Daoist Master Huanglong doesn't need to go to Xuling Mountain to guard it for the time being."

"But the Storm Star Region's calamity continued to intensify and persisted, which displeased the higher-ups. That's why they sent him to Xuling Mountain ahead of schedule."

Elder Liu took a deep breath, "Xu Ling Mountain? I've heard of it! It's said that only those who have reached the level of enlightenment are qualified to guard it."

"Every True Lord who has reached the state of Out-of-Body Realm must guard it for five hundred years."

"It will take even longer for Daojun Lianxu, he needs to guard it for a thousand years!"

Elder Chu nodded, "Exactly! Anyone who dares to disobey this order, regardless of their status or cultivation level, will be hunted down endlessly by the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance."

After saying this, he sighed, "That's the dignified Lianxu Patriarch, three realms higher than us! A great figure with a lifespan of ten thousand years! But he also had things he had to do, even being sent to guard Xuling Mountain like a prisoner!"

Elder Liu chuckled and said, "So, we are still the most comfortable."

Elder Chu nodded in agreement, and then, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh, and there are also those two geniuses on the Divine Transformation Heavenly Ranking. Murong Fei, number one on the Heavenly Ranking, and Fu Zhenqing, number four on the Heavenly Ranking. You've heard of them, right?"

"As soon as Creation Cave Heaven collapsed, these two immediately joined Sea God Island. It's really sad."

Elder Liu nodded, "Of course I've heard of it! But, isn't Shi Jingtian ranked fourth on the Heavenly Ranking? How did it become Fu Zhenqing?"

The elder surnamed Chu laughed heartily, "Shi Jingtian is dead, killed by Chu Xuan of the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect. Naturally, Fu Zhenqing has been promoted to the next rank."

Elder Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Come to think of it, this Chu Xuan is quite a character. I heard he was only ranked 20th on the Heavenly Ranking before, but I didn't expect him to have hidden strength. He killed Shi Jingtian and made a big splash!"

"Sea God Island has been searching for his whereabouts and has almost turned the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect upside down."

"However, the Heaven Shaking Sect is now a subordinate sect of the Nine Nether Palace, and the Sea God Island dare not do anything about it."

Elder Chu whispered, "On the surface, he doesn't dare, but secretly he has done some disgusting things."

"The fleets used by the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect to trade with other sects often disappear suddenly."

"Especially the Wuji Tianzong where Chu Xuan was. I heard that several talented disciples died suddenly for no reason. It's really a pity."

Both of them were moved when they heard this.

"Forget it, let's not talk about others! We won't go home until we're drunk today!"

"Okay, okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk!"

Then came the sound of clinking glasses and passing around cups.

Chu Xuan listened for a while and then withdrew his consciousness.

He had known about Xu Ling Mountain early on, and he also knew that all cultivators who had reached the out-of-body stage or above had to go to Xu Ling Mountain to guard it.

Taoist Master Huanglong guarded Xuling Mountain in advance, which was within his expectations and not a big deal.

However, what the two of them said later aroused some interest in him.

The three sects of Sea God Island, Jiuyou Palace and Wuya Academy divided up the Creation Cave Heaven.

Poseidon Island occupies the largest territory and has also taken away the Seven Aperture Lake.

This matter has already made Jiuyou Palace and Wuya Academy dissatisfied.

But the Sea God Island now has two Lianxu Daojuns in charge, and they are the most powerful.

Even though the other two sects were dissatisfied, they did not make a big fuss, but there were occasional frictions among the monks below.

It seems that as long as the time is right, conflicts will naturally break out between these three sects.

"However, Sea God Island is truly despicable. A dignified seventh-level cultivation sect actually attacked a fifth-level cultivation sect."

Henry Chu couldn't help but shook his head.

Good news: Poseidon Island has jumped two levels to deal with another sect.

The bad news: a level seven player is fighting against a level five player.

"It's a pity there's no news about Luo Zu."

"He is the biggest troublemaker. If he shows up again, he will definitely stir up bloodshed in the Storm Star Region again."

"But that's normal. I've been on Giant Star for a long time, and this is my first time back. How could I possibly hear big news?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be such a coincidence?"

Henry Chu smiled faintly.

He didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world.

Most of the coincidences in the world are intentional.

He threw down a few spirit stones and left the teahouse immediately.

Then he flew out of Mu Lei Fang, chose a cave, politely saw off the blind bear inside, and then returned to the Ji Yin Cave on the Giant Star.

…

Time goes by.

Another ten years passed on Giant Star.

The situation of one country and four states gradually stabilized.

It is said that the Great Cang Kingdom was forced to cede part of its southern land and pay an astronomical amount of blood cores as compensation, which is why the Storm State decided to stop for the time being.

But after this battle, the identity of the Great Cang Kingdom as the common ruler of the world has obviously become a laughing stock.

As for the other three states, no one can predict what their future plans will be.

However, Chu Xuan could guess that in the foreseeable future, the Storm State would definitely rebel again.

After all, the ancients said:

Serving Qin with land is like trying to put out a fire with fuel. As long as the fuel is not used up, the fire will not be extinguished.

Simply ceding territory and paying compensation will only make the other party become more and more demanding.

But in the final analysis, he doesn't care about these situations.

He only cares about the three acres of land in Xiaohe Town and Dahe Town.

The land of Xiaohe Town and Dahe Town is still within the territory of Dacang Country, but it is not far from Fengbao State.

If the war breaks out again in the future, this place might be the first line of attack.

Henry Chu thought thoughtfully, "We need to guide them to do more things."

"Disrupt the enemy, gather intelligence, develop military forces, delve into weaponry, and immerse oneself in cultivation...all of these things must proceed simultaneously."

"This is the only piece of land I have on Giant Star. I can't let outsiders destroy it so easily."

Xiaohe Town.

Heishi stood by the window, looking at the bright moon.

He felt quite sad.

"Acting mayor... am I worthy of such a great responsibility?"

This morning, after discussion among the mayor, hunting chief, and fruit chief, it was finally decided that he would serve as the mayor of Dahe Town.

As for the subsequent series of candidates, they were all selected by him personally, and Mu Tou did not interfere.

Tomorrow, he will take up his post with the people he has selected.

But he became worried.

Because he was sure that he was just a military man, and he had only served as the deputy captain of the guard team in Dahe Town before, and at most he had some superficial governance experience.

Especially after following Mu Tou for so many years, he felt even more deeply the difficulties of being a manager.

He asked himself honestly, his ability was far from that of wood.

I'm afraid it would be difficult to manage a town.

Black Stone looked towards the temple and sighed softly, "It would be great if the Master of the Spiritual Envoy could also send down a rain of enlightenment for me."

After coming to Xiaohe Town for so many years, he already knew about the miracles performed by the Lord Yuanshenshi.

Especially that rain of enlightenment, which enlightened the wisdom of so many people.

He had secretly investigated and found that anyone who bathed in the rain of enlightenment that day had their energy and blood rapidly improved, and had long since become the backbone of the town.

The thinking and wisdom of these people have also improved to varying degrees.

Thinking of this, Heishi couldn't help but laugh at himself, "Who am I? How could I be worthy of the Master Yuanshen Envoy personally sending down a rain of enlightenment?"

"It's better to go to bed quickly. There are many things to do tomorrow..."

He sighed softly, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

The strange thing is that every night he would toss and turn, thinking about his wife and daughter, and his son who had been separated from him for many years.

But this time, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

"Here is, where?"

Heishi was shocked when he saw the vast expanse of white around him.

Didn't I fall asleep?

How did you get to this place?

"Black Stone..."

A deep and powerful voice rang out from all directions.

It was as if a god in the clouds cast a glance at him.

The next moment, a towering god appeared before him.

When Heishi saw the face clearly, he was shocked beyond words.

Isn't this the Lord Yuanshen Envoy enshrined in the temple!

He quickly knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Spirit Envoy!"

"You are diligent and have a sincere faith... I will grant you wisdom..."

A vague and unclear voice sounded like thunder.

Immediately afterwards, a divine light suddenly appeared and struck straight into his brow.

A lot of information suddenly appeared in my mind.

The intense pain woke him up suddenly.

Black Stone looked around in panic.

He was still in the room, so there was no god.

"I...I...Spirit Envoy actually favors me..."

Black Stone couldn't believe it.

He quickly put on his clothes, walked quickly to the outside of the temple, and knelt down to worship with great sincerity.

"The Master Yuanshen has bestowed upon me a blessing, and Black Stone will never forget it!"

His expression was extremely firm and pious.

On the second day, Heishi took a group of people he had selected, rode on the colt dragon and took the pack dragon, and headed straight for Dahe Town.

Xiaohe Town Mayor Mu Tou and others personally saw him off.

Chu Xuan also looked into the distance in the direction they left, sighing slightly.

With his means, it is not difficult to create the effect of a dream.

Heishi is a talented person and can be promoted appropriately.

It would be a great thing if Dahe Town could be as prosperous as Xiaohe Town.

Henry Chu asked casually, "Have you done everything I asked you to do?"

"It's done," the Little Grass King nodded. "I've placed a lot of grass seeds on the pack dragons. As they move forward, the seeds will fall to the ground and take root and sprout."

"It eventually stretched all the way to the town of Grand River."

"Don't worry, Immortal! I will always monitor the situation in Dahe Town and Xiaohe Town, and report everything to you!"

Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction, casually took out a paper bag and threw it over, "Inside this are the seeds of the King Piranha Plant."

The giant carnivorous plant is half animal and half flower, and is extremely unique.

It is also perfect for devouring corpses.

Many robbery cultivators like to tame a giant carnivorous plant and use it to destroy corpses and remove traces.

The Little Grass King could smell the scent from a distance and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Thank you, Immortal, for the reward!"

Chu Xuan nodded slightly and disappeared in a flash.

He felt that he was still some distance away from the forty-ninth level of body refinement.

Since there is still a lot of Chiling rice, I will continue to attack the 49th level. There is no need to waste time.

However, he had just sat down cross-legged in the Jiyin Cave when he felt that Xiaohu had some excited thoughts.

With a slight sense, he discovered that the four corpse kings led by Xiaohu had all entered the ranks of great corpse kings.

In this way, the Yinfeng Wolf Formation was truly formed.

You know, five first-level corpse kings besieging a ninth-level cultivator is no different from delivering food.

At most it will just delay some time.

After all, the gap in strength is too big.

But Chu Xuan knew very well that the Yinfeng Wolf Formation formed by five first-level giant corpse kings was enough to threaten a ninth-level Jindan cultivator!

Even if one or two big corpse kings are damaged after fighting the enemy, it doesn't matter.

Naturally, there are other big corpse kings to fill in.

A few first-level giant corpse kings are enough to kill a ninth-level cultivator.

No matter who knows about this, they will all say, you've made a lot of money!

…

Mu Lei Fang.

As usual, Chu Xuan drank tea and ate snacks at the same seat as last time.

He looked out the window at the scenery, lost in thought. "I wonder if it's because I've been practicing so hard for too long, or if there's something wrong with my state of mind. I haven't made any progress at all."

If not for this, he would not have returned to the world of cultivating immortals.

Between the two worlds, the speed of time flowing is ten to one.

Only a few years have passed in the world of immortal cultivation, but he has been practicing on Giant Star for forty to fifty years.

Not everyone can endure the loneliness of such a long training period.

Traveling thousands of miles and observing the world is also a kind of practice.

"Are these two here again?"

Chu Xuan glanced sideways and saw Elder Liu and Elder Chu go up to the private room accompanied by the waiter.

And it was the same private room as last time.

He scanned with his spiritual sense and found that it was just as he expected.

The conversation between the two people consisted of 50% about the art of sex and 40% about gossip.

Only 10% is about current affairs.

As for cultivation-related matters...

As long as there is a little bit, it will not be nothing at all.

Elder Liu said, "...Hey, I got some magical medicine from the Dark Realm this time, we can try it!"

Elder Chu frowned. "The Dark Territory? Isn't it very far from here? Why are there caravans coming out there?"

Elder Liu chuckled, "You don't know this, do you? The Dark Realm is a very unique place. It has multiple stable teleportation arrays that allow you to enter and exit directly."

"Besides that, there are some unstable space cracks. If you are brave enough, you can pass through them."

"I got those miracle drugs from a guy who was reselling them in the Dark Territory and Storm Star Territory."

Chu Xuan listened for a while and couldn't help but think about it.

According to the descriptions of these two people, the Dark Domain seems to be similar to the Shattered Star Sea, and is also a chaotic place.

But it contains a large number of treasures, including spiritual objects that can transform into gods and even spiritual objects that can leave the body!

Moreover, the area of ​​the Dark Domain is much larger than that of the Shattered Star Sea.

At least equivalent to ten Broken Star Seas.

More importantly, the Dark Domain is connected to various places by teleportation arrays.

It's like a chaotic area where no one is allowed to go anywhere and all the major forces have tacitly agreed to it.

Chu Xuan thought thoughtfully, "If there is trouble, we can escape, no, it is a strategic shift to the Dark Realm."

He did not regard the Dark Realm as a place he had to go.

Just as a backup.

Just as he was about to withdraw his spiritual consciousness, he suddenly heard Elder Liu talking about something.

"By the way, I heard that a Divine Transformation Elder passed away recently on Sea God Island!"

Elder Chu was stunned. "Really? Such a great figure has also fallen. Was he assassinated?"

Elder Liu shook his head. "I don't know. He just disappeared suddenly. It's said to be related to the Fallen Cultivator."

"Sea God Island is facing a formidable enemy and has begun rigorously inspecting every cultivation star within its territory to guard against fallen cultivators."

"Besides, we're still hunting down people from the other shore. Even if it's just a yellow-level person from the other shore, the bounty is already a hundred great spirit stones!"

Elder Chu's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement. "Wow, Seagod Island is really generous! One hundred great spirit stones are enough to buy a good, top-grade magic weapon!"

For Nascent Soul cultivators like them, a top-grade magic weapon is the highest pursuit.

Generally speaking, cultivators who have just entered the Nascent Soul stage only have top-grade magic weapons at most.

The two of them invested most of their resources into the family, hoping only to expand the family. Naturally, they had very few spirit stones to spend on magic weapons.

The two of them only had one top-grade magic weapon, and the rest were mid- and low-grade magic weapons.

You should know that middle and low-grade magic weapons are almost always used by Jindan cultivators.

It is quite embarrassing for a Nascent Soul cultivator to have medium or low-grade magic weapons.

The two of them couldn't help but immerse themselves in it and dreamed of picking up a yellow-level person from the other shore while walking on the road.

Seeing that their conversation was of little value, Chu Xuan withdrew his consciousness.

"The Spiritualization cultivator has fallen, and it is suspected that the Fallen Cultivator has taken action. This is interesting."

"The people from the other side probably wouldn't dare to attack Sea God Island. Few fallen cultivators can reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

"Almost all the fallen cultivators in the Storm Star Region have been killed."

"At most, there are only a few fallen cultivators from the Broken Star Sea who have not yet been caught."

"Of course, it's also possible that Luo Zu just grabbed a spirit to eat..."

Henry Chu quickly thought of various possibilities.

It's none of my business anyway.

As an outsider, he was very curious about what happened next.

But it is quite troublesome to travel back and forth frequently.

"Then let's capture a robber cultivator and use him for our own benefit."

Chu Xuan strode to the stall area of ​​Mu Lei Fang.

When he was drinking tea in the teahouse before, he could roughly distinguish which ones were legitimate cultivators and which ones were Tribulation cultivators.

Now he came to the stall area, spread out the coarse cloth, put his things on the table, closed his eyes, and sat down on the small stool.

What he brought out was very exquisite.

The value is not too high, but enough to make some people excited.

By dusk he had sold most of what he had.

Then he rolled up his things and left Mureifang in a hurry.

As he expected, two beams of light were chasing him from behind.

He suddenly showed a look of panic and fled faster.

At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

"Boy, why are you running?"

"Hand over the spirit stone obediently, and I will spare your life!"

A burly cultivator emerged from the escaping light and sneered.

The other two also surrounded them from two other directions, with a half-smile on their faces.

Chu Xuan glanced at the burly and strong Jie Xiu, and said thoughtfully, "You look like the leader of the three?"

The robbery cultivator chuckled, "Of course! I, Hu Lao San, am at the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm! I should be in charge of the two of them!"

Henry Chu nodded slightly.

With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, the souls of the other two were annihilated on the spot and thrown into the Heavenly Corpse Tower.

Hu Laosan was stunned and his eyes widened instantly.

In the blink of an eye, he knelt down and burst into tears, "Senior...Senior, please spare my life! I was so blind that I actually offended you!"

His tears and snot mixed together.

He looked even more miserable than a mortal encountering a ferocious beast.

No matter how weak the two younger brothers were, they were at the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm. Yet, they were wiped out in one fell swoop by the young man before them.

It was obvious that the young man in front of them was not someone they could offend.

It is very likely that he is at the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, sliding down to your knees is the only way to survive.

Hu Laosan has been doing robbery repair for so many years and knows how to save his life.

I am submissive in front of the strong, but I strike hard in front of the weak!

Our main skill as a robber cultivator is to bully the weak!

Chu Xuan casually flicked out a hidden bee insect egg.

Hu Laosan swallowed his saliva and had to swallow it.

Henry Chu said casually, "I will spare your life, and you, the fake infant, must also show your value."

"Tell me, who is your boss?"

He came to Mureifang twice, and although he only stayed for three or two days each time, he had already seen thoroughly the various cultivators in this place.

At first glance, this Hu Lao San seems to be just a robbery cultivator, but in fact he is working for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Many of the treasures looted by this man had to be offered as tribute.

Hu Laosan was shocked. He didn't expect that his background had already been seen through.

Even the fake baby was spotted.

He had to smile bitterly, "Senior, you really have a sharp eye. You saw it at a glance."

"I am indeed a white glove of a Yuanying Great Cultivator, robbing independent cultivators for him."

"He is Deacon Liu Qianli of Zilei Mountain."

Chu Xuan's expression was calm.

Liu Qianli is the elder surnamed Liu who always discusses the secrets of sex with the elder surnamed Chu in the private room on the third floor of the teahouse.

He did not intend to directly control Liu Qianli.

After all, Liu Qianli is a legitimate Yuanying elder of Zilei Mountain.

If this matter gets out of hand, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

Henry Chu's eyes swept over Hu Laosan's facial features and smiled, "That's not right. I'm afraid the relationship between you and Liu Qianli is not just as simple as superiors and subordinates."

Hu Laosan was frightened and was about to refute, but when he saw Henry Chu's half-smile, he could only smile bitterly, "Senior... To be honest, I am Liu Qianli's illegitimate son."

Henry Chu nodded.

In a family of immortal cultivators, there is also a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.

A strong mother's family means that one can obtain more resources for cultivation, can go further in the future, and naturally one's status in the family will also rise.

It just so happened that Liu Qianli needed someone to do something shady. Hu Laosan had such a status and also needed resources for cultivation, so he naturally took on this job.

Henry Chu said casually, "When you work for me in the future, report to me who Liu Qianli has contacted and what he has done."

"Also, you need to carefully investigate the current situation."

"I will ensure that you will enter the Nascent Soul Avenue."

After saying that, he threw a storage bag over.

Hu Laosan opened it and was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you for the reward, senior!"

Chu Xuan nodded slightly and disappeared in a flash.

He did not expect Hu Lao San to provide much important information, he just wanted to have a little understanding of the current situation in the world of immortal cultivation.

His focus now is still on the small piece of land on Giant Star.

Giant star.

Chu Xuan sat cross-legged in the Jiyin Cave to practice.

In front of him was a pot of fragrant Chiling rice and a jar of blood jam.

There was also a table full of marinated and thinly sliced ​​black whale meat.

There are also cumin powder, chili powder, black pepper, etc.

This black devil whale was the one tamed by Shi Jingtian, and it was already in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Chu Xuan took a piece of flesh and blood and casually stuffed the psychic cube into it, so that he could continuously produce more monster meat.

The reason why the three kinds of body-refining medicines were used together was mainly to combine meat and vegetables for a balanced nutrition...

Well, it's definitely not because I'm a bit tired of eating only Chiling rice.

Henry Chu sighed softly, "There's still some distance to the forty-ninth level, but the Chiling rice is not enough."

Since returning from Purple Thunder Star last time, he has practiced on Giant Star for another five years.

Although the surplus Chiling rice from Xiaohe Town and Dahe Town was tributed to him, it was still not enough.

The stomach of a body cultivator is like a bottomless black hole. It can never be filled if you only eat and don't defecate.

"However, the various policies implemented by Xiaohe Town and Dahe Town are now very effective."

"It's worth it that I appeared in the dream to that Black Stone in the middle of the night."

Chu Xuan spread out his spiritual sense and couldn't help but smile when he saw the current prosperity of Xiaohe Town.

Xiaohe Town has developed from a small village to a size comparable to a small city.

Farmland, pastures, orchards... everything is available.

It is indeed unprecedented and will never be surpassed.

It's a pity that Xiaohe Town's geographical location is not very good, otherwise it would have developed faster.

At this time, Chu Xuan saw another group of guards leaving the town under the leadership of Tiegong.

They rode on ferocious dragon horses and sped away.

These colts have been carefully bred and are stronger and more ferocious than wild colts.

You must have at least the strength of the second level of Qi and Blood to tame an ordinary colt dragon.

As for those exceptionally powerful colt dragons, they require even higher levels of Qi and blood to suppress them.

This kind of colt dragon mount is actually considered a form of combat power.

Such a colt dragon knight costs a lot of money and food every year.

If the number of colt dragon knights increases, even some poor city lords will not be able to afford to support them.

Henry Chu clapped his hands lightly, "It seems that they are going to annex Yuanlin Town in the north."

Although the Storm State withdrew its troops, the buffer zone between the Storm State and the Great Cang State became a no-man's land.

Many bandits roamed here, robbing houses.

The death of a large number of people also led to a surge in the number of deaths.

The Da Cang Kingdom was weak and unable to take care of itself, nor could it raise an army to wipe out the bandits and casualties.

In the end, they had no choice but to allow each city and town to form their own teams to eliminate bandits and casualties.

This is equivalent to implicitly recognizing the legitimacy of private armies in various places.

In the north, Yuanlin Town became a bandit to make a living and harassed Xiaohe Town and Dahe Town several times.

Now that Mu Tou has decided to take action, he should defeat him in one go.

Henry Chu nodded slightly, "In this way, the three nearby towns are under my control."

"A little further north is Sanhe City."

"The farmland near Sanhe City is exceptionally fertile, several times more than the farmland in Xiaohe Town, Dahe Town, and Yuanlin Town combined. If we can bring it under our control, we won't have to worry about the annual production of Chiling rice."

…

"Mayor, Yuanlin Town is now under our control. We also managed to capture a Da Cang Army deserter."

Tiegong sneered and pushed the young man to the ground.

Mu Tou was a little surprised. "Oh? A deserter from the Da Cang Army? Tell me about your identity."

The young man raised his head and said sternly, "I am not a deserter, I am a soldier of the city lord."

"Yuanlin Town is also under the control of the city lord."

"You dare to occupy Yuanlin Town? Once the city lord finds out, the Armored Dragon Cavalry will completely overwhelm this town within a few days!"

Tiegong's face was gloomy and he was about to kick him.

Mu Tou stopped him and said with a smile, "You must be talking about Sanhe City."

"I heard that the former Sanhe City was captured by the Black Wolf Bandits a long time ago. Who appointed the current City Lord? Does he have the City Lord Seal issued by the Great Cang Nation?"

Although there are complaints everywhere now, they still respect the Great Cang Kingdom as the leader.

Villages and towns are fine, after all, they are very small.

However, if the lord of a city is not appointed by the Da Cang Kingdom and does not have the seal issued by the Da Cang Kingdom, he has no legitimacy.

The young man's expression changed and he stopped talking.

Mu Tou put his hands behind his back, walked around the room, and sneered, "I heard that the Armored Dragon Cavalry is only found in the Iron Armor City further north. How could Sanhe City possibly have such a powerful weapon?"

"Boy, don't scare people with something that doesn't exist!"

"The people of our Xiaohe Town are not afraid of being scared!"

The young man stiffened his neck, his face flushed. "Bullshit! I'm not trying to scare you!"

"Just wait, the Armored Dragon Cavalry will definitely flatten this place!"

"When that day comes, it won't be too late for you to cry!"

Mu Tou gave Tie Gong a look, and Tie Gong immediately ordered the young man to be taken back.

They were the only two people left in the room.

Mu Mu asked, "What do you think?"

Tiegong said carelessly, "Mayor, one more person means one more mouth to feed. I think we should just kill him and be done with it!"

wood,"..."

"I'm asking what you think of the Ankylosaur Cavalry!"

Tiegong scratched his head. "Huh? Didn't the mayor say that it was something only found in Ironclad City?"

Mu Tou sighed, "I was deliberately provoking him just now, didn't you see that?"

Tiegong scratched his head, "I...ah...I really didn't see that..."

Mu Tou shook his head.

When he looked at the iron bow now, he always felt like he was looking at his past self.

It's really... a kind of naive stupidity.

At that time, I had not yet been enlightened by the rain of enlightenment. I never thought about anything else. All I thought about all day was rolling around with women...

Although I still often think about rolling around with women...

Mu Tou thought about it for a long time before finally saying, "Send a few people to seduce him. Sooner or later, we'll be able to get the necessary information."

"Whether there are any Armored Dragon Cavalry in Sanhe City, and how many there are, this kind of information must be obtained as soon as possible."

Tiegong nodded, "Yes! I'll do it right away!"

A few days later, Tiegong brought back the news with a worried look on his face.

"Mayor! Bad news, that guy isn't interested in women!"

Mu Tou was stunned. "Huh?"

He couldn't help but hold his forehead.

I didn't expect that. I didn't expect that.

I actually ran into a tough guy.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Tiegong's expression.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Tiegong stammered, "I noticed he seems to be a homosexual."

"Besides, he has improper thoughts about me."

Mu Tou looked strange.

Tiegong is a bit naive and stupid.

But he is indeed one of the most handsome men in Xiaohe Town.

He was especially envious of the muscular body he had developed from frequent archery practice.

It was reasonable for the young man to have improper desires for the iron bow.

Mu Tou patted Tie Gong's shoulder heavily and said earnestly, "Captain Tie Lie, this important task is now entrusted to you."

Tiegong stammered a few words, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, for the sake of this town, I'll risk it all!"

That night.

Tiegong covered his butt and went to the wooden house.

"You're..." Mu Tou was confused and uncertain, "Were you stabbed?"

Tiegong quickly shook his head, "No, I fell on my way out and sat down on the ground."

Mu Tou was skeptical, "Did you get the information?"

Tiegong nodded, "Sanhe City does have armored dragon cavalry, but there are not many of them, only ten armored dragons."

"It was looted by the Lord of Sanhe City."

"That Sanhe City Lord is no good either. He doesn't even have the Great Cang City Lord Seal. He used to be a captain of the Sanhe Army, and now he's returned to Sanhe City to claim the throne."

Only then did Mu Tou feel relieved.

It is enough that the Lord of Sanhe City was not appointed by the Da Cang Kingdom.

Although the Da Cang Kingdom is extremely weak, it is still relatively strong compared to the other four countries.

They are just small townspeople, how dare they kill the city lord appointed by the Da Cang Kingdom.

Mu Tou paced back and forth for a while before saying, "Tie Gong, pick a few trusted confidants and have them disguise themselves as refugees and sneak into Sanhe City."

"We annexed Yuanlin Town. The Lord of Sanhe City will definitely be unhappy. It's only a matter of time before a war breaks out between us."

Tiegong nodded, "I understand. Mayor, just wait and see!"

Looking at Tiegong's departing back, Mu Tou nodded slightly.

Ankylosaurs are naturally huge and covered with thick armor.

Once the charge is launched, it is almost indestructible.

Even the stone walls of Xiaohe Town could not withstand their impact.

Therefore, we should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

No major battles with the enemy at all.

It is best to disintegrate the enemy directly from the inside out.

This was his idea when he let the Iron Bow refugees in.

…

"Not bad, not bad. It feels good to be a hands-off boss."

Henry Chu saw everything and couldn't help but smile.

What Xiaohe Town lacks now is only time.

As long as Sanhe City can be brought into chaos, Xiaohe Town can continue to develop stably.

Sooner or later, we will be able to overwhelm Sanhe City.

In addition, Sanhe City does not know the relationship between Xiaohe Town and Dahe Town, so there may be a misjudgment.

If the time comes when we have to go to war, the two armies will attack at the same time and will definitely be able to capture Sanhe City in one fell swoop.

…

Purple Thunder Star, Mu Lei Fang.

Chu Xuan sat by the window, watching the monks coming and going outside the window, and his mood gradually calmed down.

At this moment, there was a sudden howling of wind outside the window.

Then a figure suddenly passed by.

The speed was so fast that it even blew over the teacups of many monks in the teahouse.

Several monks stood up suddenly, pointing out the window and wanting to curse.

Then two more figures gave chase.

After seeing the figures of these two people clearly, the monks who had just stood up sat down again quickly.

The Taoist robes of those two people were the standard Taoist robes of Zilei Mountain.

Most of the people in Mu Lei Fang are independent Jindan cultivators.

How dare I conflict with the monks from Zilei Mountain?

Someone suddenly exclaimed, "Strange, a cultivator from Purple Thunder Mountain is chasing someone in broad daylight, and even dares to escape in Mu Lei Fang. Could it be that he's chasing the other side..."

There are rules in most markets that prohibit flying.

Otherwise, everyone would have to fly away, which would disrupt the rules.

Before the man finished speaking, someone immediately figured out why it was so and hurried away.

In the blink of an eye, five out of ten of the second floor were gone.

Chu Xuan was still leaning against the window drinking tea, indifferent.

He just sighed in his heart, "The situation of the people on the other side is not easy."

Among the information that Hu Laosan gave him was information about people from the other side.

After the collapse of the Creation Cave Heaven, the Heaven-Shaking Divine Sect came under the jurisdiction of the Jiuyou Palace, the Treasure Alliance came under the jurisdiction of the Wuya Academy, and the Five Thunder Mountain Sect and the Zhenyue Sword Sect both came under the jurisdiction of the Sea God Island.

The Sea God Island issued an order to capture fallen cultivators, especially those from the other side, and the Five Thunder Mountain Sect must carry it out.

After repeated investigations, the Wu Lei Mountain Sect discovered that there was also a stronghold of people from the other shore on this Zi Lei Star.

It is said that because of the betrayal of a yellow-level other-shore person, most of the yellow-level other-shore people were betrayed.

The Wulei Mountain Sect sent out two elders who had reached the state of Divine Transformation to search for the whereabouts of a person from the other side of the earth.

As for those Xuan-level people from the other side, they will be handed over to the God Transformation Ancestor of Zilei Mountain to deal with.

Chu Xuan's attitude towards the people on the other side is not disgust, but it can't be said to be love either.

After all, he had been assassinated twice by people from the other side.

Although he later became the hall master of the people on the other side for unknown reasons, he only used the people on the other side to provide him with information and never interfered in the specific affairs of the people on the other side.

I believe Xiahou Xiong and Wu Tianzong can also feel it.

Two figures appeared in Chu Xuan's mind, "Wu Tianzong is good to me. He took the initiative to remind me to be careful of Shi Jingtian and also sent me information about Shi Jingtian."

"And that Skylark, who diligently collected intelligence for me, is nowhere to be found now."

"If they are in trouble, I can give them a hand, but as for the rest, I'll leave them alone."

"Whether you live or die, it's all up to God's will."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his expression remaining calm.

After a while, there was a collision of spiritual power above the mountain ahead.

Moreover, spiritual power is extremely chaotic and of many types.

It was obvious that a fight had broken out, and there were quite a few people involved.

After all, according to the bounty issued by Poseidon Island, even a yellow-level person from the other side can be exchanged for one hundred large spirit stones.

If a Jindan cultivator is lucky enough to pick up a seriously injured yellow-level person from the other side, he can almost ascend to heaven in broad daylight!

After a while, the fight gradually subsided.

Chu Xuan looked through the window and saw the two Jindan cultivators from Zilei Mountain appear with a yellow-level person from the other shore.

Behind him hung a string of heads of wandering cultivators.

Such ferocious behavior made the other wandering cultivators in Mu Lei Fang shrink their heads in fear and dared not to move rashly.

Chu Xuan also glanced over, and seeing that it was someone from the other side whom he didn't know at all, he withdrew his gaze and continued to sip his tea.

He casually called over the waiter and asked, "What's the name of this tea?"

The waiter was a young Qi Refining cultivator. Upon hearing this, he immediately bent down and said respectfully, "Senior, this tea is called Snow Queen Flowers, and it is a top-grade white tea."

Chu Xuan nodded, "Not bad, do you have any tea seeds?"

The waiter immediately said in embarrassment, "This..."

Chu Xuan casually took out a medium-sized spirit stone and threw it over.

The waiter immediately smiled and said, "I'll go find the shopkeeper right away!"

Not long after, Chu Xuan took a large bag of snow flowers and a small bag of tea seeds and left Mu Lei Fang.

I've been drinking too much Kumaofeng tea, so it's time to try something else to change the taste.

He was about to take a step forward and return to the Giant Star.

But then he heard two disciples from Purple Thunder Mountain flying past in the sky.

The red-robed disciple exclaimed in surprise, "Hurry up, hurry up, return to the sect to collect the spirit stones!"

The blue-clothed disciple looked confused, "What's wrong? It's only the beginning of the month and it's not even time to distribute spirit stones yet."

The red-robed disciple immediately said, "The Seven-Colored Ancestor has advanced to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm. The whole world celebrates!"

"Any disciple of Purple Thunder Mountain can come to the martial arts training ground to receive spirit stones!"

The blue-clothed disciple immediately looked excited, "Seven-Colored Ancestor? Is he the elder of the elder sect, the Refining Void Ancestor from Sea God Island?"

The red-robed disciple nodded, "Exactly! Let's go! If we're late, there might not be any for us!"

After saying that, the two figures controlled the flying magic weapon and flew towards the majestic Purple Thunder Mountain.

The speed is much faster than before.

Obviously can't wait.

Henry Chu couldn't help but stop.

He frowned, "Seven-Colored Daoist Lord, that must be the great cultivator from Sea God Island who returned from Xuling Mountain."

"As expected, there is no false reputation."

"If this happens, Wuya Academy and Jiuyou Palace will probably be even more afraid of Sea God Island."

He sighed softly.

Previously, the Sea God Island monopolized half of the territory of the Creation Cave Heaven and also took over the Seven Aperture Lake.

This has already caused dissatisfaction among Wuya Academy and Jiuyou Palace.

Wuya Academy and Jiuyou Palace seem to be forming an alliance to fight against Poseidon Island.

Now there are constant frictions and conflicts between the two sides.

If any talented disciple from any family died as a result, a war would probably break out.

Now the Seven-Colored Taoist Master of Sea God Island has entered the middle stage of Refining Void.

As a result, Wuya Academy and Jiuyou Palace were afraid to take the initiative to stir up trouble again.

"It's really fate."

"The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker, which is completely contrary to my vision."

"If Seagod Island were to suppress Wuya Academy and Jiuyou Palace to the point where they wouldn't dare fight back..."

Chu Xuan kept shaking his head.

After all, he killed Shi Jingtian, so even if he changed his appearance, there was still a risk of being discovered.

If there ever comes a day when the Sea God Island surpasses the Wuya Academy and the Jiuyou Palace, I'm afraid I'll really have to go to the Dark Realm to look for an opportunity to leave my body.

He suddenly remembered something else.

When his Nascent Soul was striving for the Divine Transformation stage, he practiced the Secret Method of Three Infant Transformations, which greatly improved his success rate in striving for the Divine Transformation stage.

In this case, there should be such a secret method to achieve the state of spiritual transformation and leaving the body.

If you practice in advance, you can also increase your success rate, just like a spirit being leaving your body.

"However, this secret technique should be like the spiritual objects that leave the body, hidden away by various sects, and it is impossible to bring it out."

"When the Creation Cave Heaven collapsed, it should have been the best time to obtain this secret technique."

"Unfortunately, the Creation Cave Heaven collapsed peacefully, and power was smoothly transferred to the three sects of Sea God Island. There was no chance to fish in troubled waters."

Henry Chu couldn't help but shook his head.

No one can explain things like fortune and luck.

Even though he possessed the Five-Layered Golden Wheel of Merit, it was not effective at all times.

…

There is no time for practice.

Chu Xuan went into seclusion once, and another ten years passed.

In fact, it can't be considered as hard work.

Every day, apart from eating, I just refine.

Moreover, because he practiced the "Melting Heaven Technique", he could refine the essence of external life energy at an extremely fast speed.

It will be refined soon after eating it.

The impurities are left directly outside.

It also saves the step of defecation that mortals need to go through.

In this way, you can absorb more vital energy every day.

"The training of a physical cultivator is so boring..."

Henry Chu slowly stood up, his blood surging out.

It suddenly condensed into a giant hoof five hundred feet long.

This giant hoof connects the sky and the earth, as if it was casually stepped on by a giant beast from outer space!

"fall!"

Chu Xuan let out a low roar, and his giant hoof suddenly dropped down.

In an instant, the forest was destroyed and the mountains collapsed!

"Huh... this move is really powerful!"

Chu Xuan exhaled and ended his training, dispersing the shadow of the giant hoof and revealing a look of joy.

However, realizing that his energy and blood had been depleted by 30%, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This move also comes from "Fu Yue Long Gong".

He had previously learned the move of "Carrying the Mountain and Sucking Water" from it.

Today this move is called "Carrying the Mountain and Falling Hoof".

The name is very simple.

But the power is obviously extremely terrifying.

This level of power has reached the highest level of physical training martial arts at this stage.

Of course, it also consumes the most qi and blood.

…

This commotion also attracted the attention of the residents of Xiaohe Town.

Even though they are huge in size, in their eyes, the hooves of the giant beast falling from the sky are also huge!

Many of the older generation of townspeople knelt down on the spot, muttering something.

Mu Tou also saw this scene. His eyes rolled and he immediately called a few confidants and whispered instructions to them.

After a while, some whispers were heard from the crowd.

"This must be a miracle! Proof that the gods walk the earth!"

"Our Xiaohe Town is truly favored by the gods! We have the Spirit Envoy, the Ruyi Grass King, and now the Giant Beast's Hoof!"

"You can't call it a giant beast, maybe it's one of the eight dragons under the Tianlong throne!"

"Our Xiaohe Town is a place favored by the gods, and its scale is much larger than a town! I think it can no longer be called a town, it should be changed to a city!"

Once this voice appeared, it immediately resonated with most people.

"That's right! The town should be changed to a city!"

"Let's go petition the mayor together!"

A large crowd gathered at the mayor's house.

Everyone hopes that Mu Mu can turn the town into a city.

After all, in this way, they have become city dwellers!

This is an honor that many people will never enjoy in their lifetime!

Especially some of the elderly who have grown up in Xiaohe Village for generations.

The former Dahe Town was already a treasure land in their eyes.

If we could move to Dahe Town, it would be a great joy.

As for Sanhe City, it is a paradise-like place where milk and honey flow.

Becoming a city dweller is something I dare not even think about!

Mu Tou refused several times before finally giving in, "Since everyone feels this way, I can't go against public opinion. From today on, Xiaohe Town will be renamed Xiaohe City!"

The townspeople immediately cheered.

Mu Tou also smiled.

Only by changing the town into a city can we attract more people.

The scale can continue to grow.

However, the process involved is quite cumbersome.

After all, just because you call yourself a city doesn't mean it becomes a city.

It also requires official certification and registration from the Da Cang Kingdom.

To be more precise, it is the city lord's seal.

"The road ahead is long and arduous..."

Mu Tou looked at the excited crowd and felt deeply moved.

…

Half a year later.

The envoys from the Da Cang Kingdom came to Xiaohe Town and, after repeated verification, confirmed Xiaohe Town's request to upgrade to a city.

In this way, Xiaohe Town truly became Xiaohe City.

After the news spread, as Mu Tou had expected, a large number of refugees came to surrender.

With enough labor, more land can be reclaimed and more Chiling rice can be grown.

In this way, more people can be fed.

This is a good positive cycle.

It is in the interests of the majority.

But it is not in the interests of Sanhe City.

Because there should have been only one city, Sanhe City, in this area.

Now suddenly a small river city appears.

Naturally, this made them angry.

…

"Damn it! How come those guys took the money and didn't do the job?!"

The Lord of Sanhe City slammed the table angrily.

The hard table was cracked by the beating.

The confidant stepped forward and whispered, "According to our speculation, Xiaohe Town may have offered more benefits to bribe the envoys from the Great Cang Nation."

"Our people have already found out that Chiling rice is grown in Xiaohe Town, and quite a lot of it."

The Lord of Sanhe City was shocked. "What? Chiling rice? No wonder they were able to bribe the envoys from the Great Cang Nation!"

Then he was overjoyed, "How could they deserve such things! They should all be ours!"

The confidant nodded heavily, "Lord City Lord, lead us to do it!"

The Lord of Sanhe City laughed heartily, "Of course! Chiling rice is one of the three most suitable rice varieties for the Longbo people to improve their Qi and blood!"

"The cultivation technology is only available in the south. I guess it's because many southerners fled north and brought the Chiling rice cultivation technology with them."

He walked back and forth a few steps, then immediately said, "He Feng, send someone to find Jia Yi immediately and tell him my orders."

"We need Ankylosaur Cavalry!"

"A charge by ten armored dragon cavalrymen is enough to destroy a small city like that."

"When the Armored Dragon Cavalry charges in, their hearts and livers will be frightened to pieces. Then we can attack without any effort."

Riverwind nodded, "Yes!"

He quickly came to the Jialong Camp on the east side of the city.

There are two camps in Sanhe City, namely Jialong Camp and Julong Camp.

The area of ​​Jialong Camp is larger than that of Julong Camp, and the daily supply of food and fodder is also extremely large.

But Jia Yi, the commander of the Armored Dragon Camp, never obeyed the city lord's orders and only focused on taming the armored dragons.

The city lord let him go.

There were as many as twenty ankylosaurs at the time, but no one knew how to raise them.

Because of improper domestication methods, ten ankylosaurs died one after another.

The rest were pale and thin, and were dying.

The Lord of Sanhe City was furious and sent those who tamed colts to raise armored dragons.

If you don't raise it well, kill it.

In the end, only Jiayi survived.

Jia Yi also became the second most important person in the city after the Lord of Sanhe thanks to his ability to tame ankylosaurs.

After all, such a powerful weapon is in his hands, who would dare to disrespect him?

When He Feng arrived at the Ankylosaur Camp, Jia Yi was gently stroking the nose of an old Ankylosaur.

"The City Lord has issued an order! Xiaohe City has repeatedly invaded our territory and killed our people. This is intolerable!"

"Order Jiayi to lead the Jialong Battalion to attack Xiaohe City, with the Julong Battalion following closely behind!"

Jia Yi glanced at him and nodded slightly, "I understand. When is the fight?"

He Feng didn't expect Jia Yi to be so cooperative. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Five days later."

Jia Yi nodded and said, "If we want to go to war, there won't be enough fodder. Please have someone bring some more over."

He Feng frowned, "That's all the feed..."

Jia Yi said calmly, "Then go to Julong Camp and get it."

As if sensing the change in the keeper's mood, the old ankylosaur exhaled a stream of white air from its nostrils and suddenly stood up.

The huge front hooves were raised high and dropped heavily.

There was a loud bang.

The ground shook slightly.

Those small, dark eyes stared coldly at He Feng.

He Feng was frightened and said quickly, "I... I'll go to Julong Camp and bring the feed over."

After a while, a large amount of fresh feed was delivered to the Ankylosaur Camp.

He Feng didn't dare to stay and left quickly.

After He Feng left, Jia Yi quickly closed the gate of Jialong Camp.

"He's gone, come out." Jia Yi said in a deep voice.

A slender figure walked out from the shadow of the building.

Her name is Michelle, and she is Mijie's daughter.

After Mi Jie presented Chiling rice and supporting planting techniques, he quickly became a core figure in Xiaohe City.

His daughter, Michelle, was of high morale and was willing to contribute to Xiaohe City, so she volunteered to come to Sanhe City to collect intelligence and disrupt the rear.

Not long after Michelle arrived in Sanhe City, she discovered the special person Jia Yi.

After several contacts, he discovered that there was something strange in this person's heart, so he thought of winning him over to the Xiaohe City camp.

Jia Yi gently stroked the old ankylosaur's head and whispered, "You heard what he said just now, right?"

Michelle nodded, "I heard it."

"With ten armored dragons charging together, ordinary stone walls can't withstand it at all," Jia Yi said calmly, "Your Xiaohe City will undoubtedly be defeated."

Michelle smiled, "You will help us, otherwise you wouldn't let me hide here and let me hear what he said."

Jia Yi nodded and said, "You want to win me over to the side of Xiaohe City. I am also secretly observing the strength of your Xiaohe City."

"I heard that there are two gods in Xiaohe City?"

Mi Xue nodded, awe in her eyes, "Lord Yuanshen Envoy and Lord Ruyi Grass King have both shown favor to Xiaohe City."

"The Saint of the Earth Mother Holy Court is also in Xiaohe City."

"At first I didn't agree with my father's decision to stay in Xiaohe City, but gradually I came to agree with him."

Jia Yi felt strange.

He thought for a long time before saying, "I have only one condition, rescue my mother."

"He Wei took my mother hostage and forced me to serve him."

"As long as my mother is safe, I will stand by you."

Michelle smiled, "This is a piece of cake for me because I have practiced a unique earth method."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared without a trace.

Jia Yi was very surprised. He looked around but couldn't find any trace of Mi Xue.

"I'm here." Michelle's voice sounded behind him.

"This is the Gale Technique, but it was personally improved by the Master of the Spiritual Envoy. It comes and goes without a trace, and can even conceal its presence."

A strange light flashed in Jia Yi's eyes, "Okay, then I'll trouble you!"

"Leave it to me!" Michelle patted her flat chest and nodded repeatedly.

…

Six days later.

Xiaohe City was decorated with lights and was brightly lit.

Mu Tou, Iron Bow, Bamboo Basket, and Mi Jie personally came to the temple to pray to the gods and offer the good news of capturing Sanhe City.

After hearing this, Henry Chu was very impressed.

Mu Tou really knows how to divide the enemy.

Sanhe City's most proud Armored Dragon Cavalry was supposed to attack the stone wall of Xiaohe City, but they changed sides and turned around to attack Sanhe City's Julong Camp.

In this battle, Sanhe City was defeated and the city lord He Wei died on the spot.

It was a foregone conclusion that Xiaohe City would take over Sanhe City.

Moreover, this area is a no-man's land, and the emperor is far away.

Even the envoys from the Great Cang Kingdom were too lazy to come.

As long as the annual taxes are paid, it doesn't matter if a fake city lord is gone.

…

Five years later.

Chu Xuan strode out of the Jiyin Cave with a bright look in his eyes.

During these five years, the amount of Chiling rice that Mu Tou and others contributed each year doubled.

With the endless supply of Chiling rice, his body refining realm naturally rose rapidly.

Now it has become a natural process and I have entered the 49th level of body refinement!

Now, only the last fifty levels of body refining are standing in his way.

If he could reach that level, his physical body would be considered to have reached the peak of its current state.

Apart from anything else, in close combat, he is invincible when he is out of his body!

…

Outside Mu Lei Fang, in a forest.

Chu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back.

Hu Laosan stood respectfully by and told the information he had collected in the past few days.

"There haven't been any major events these days, except for one incident that caused a huge sensation and spread widely."

"Even in Mu Lei Fang, many monks discussed this matter before and after meals."

"explain."

Hu Lao San nodded, "Sea God Island has already captured the leader of the other shore people. A few days ago, they beheaded him and displayed his head to deter those fallen cultivators hiding in the dark."

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, "What's the name of the leader of the other side?"

Hu Laosan scratched his head, "I think his name is something like... Xiahou... Xiahou Xiong?"

Chu Xuan sighed inwardly.

Xiahou Xiong, the great hall master of the other shore people, who had achieved the state of out-of-body cultivation, was killed by the hands of the Sea God Island.

Previously, there was the major event of the Seven-Colored Taoist Lord being promoted to the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

That has already made Wuya Academy and Jiuyou Palace hesitant and they dare not take the initiative to provoke conflicts with the Sea God Island.

Now there is the matter of Sea God Island eliminating the leader of the fallen cultivators.

In this way, the reputation of Poseidon Island will surely soar.

It will definitely attract a large number of monks to join.

The future will surely be even more prosperous.

It's really difficult...

The more powerful Poseidon Island becomes, the less likely he is to show up in public.

Chu Xuan was thoughtful, "It seems that the strategic shift to the Dark Realm must be put on the agenda."

"The first priority is to find a way to reach the Dark Realm."

"The teleportation array is the first choice. After all, it is stable. But it may undergo strict inspection."

"Space rifts are a backup option. Unless absolutely necessary, we cannot use such an unstable method."

It's impossible to tell when a space rift is effective and when it's not.

If it happens to be ineffective when he passes by, his body will be torn to pieces by the terrifying space turbulence.

Not to mention a mere incarnation of the spirit like him, even a True Lord out of the body or a Taoist Lord of Refining Void would not be able to withstand the danger of spatial turbulence.

Things related to space have always been the most mysterious and dangerous.

…

Giant Star, Little River City.

"These ankylosaurs are truly enormous, many times larger than even the dinosaurs!"

Mu Tou looked at the Ankylosaurus and couldn't help but marvel at it.

Jiayi jumped down from Jialong and bowed to Mu Tou, "Jiayi, I'm honored to meet City Lord Mu."

"It's been five years, and this is my first time in Xiaohe City."

Mu Tou laughed heartily. "No need for such formalities. We were able to achieve victory and capture Sanhe City in one fell swoop thanks to you for abandoning the dark and joining the light."

Jia Yi smiled, "He Wei used my mother to threaten me to work for him. Over the years, many people have tried to win me over, but none of them could save my mother."

"Thanks to Michelle for rescuing my mother, I now have nothing to worry about."

Mu Tou nodded repeatedly.

Jia Yi suddenly said, "I heard from Mi Xue that the Gale Method she practices was improved by the Master Yuan Shen Envoy himself?"

Mu Tou nodded, "Exactly."

Jia Yi added, "I also saw the guards of Xiaohe City. Almost every one of them carried a strange crossbow machine on his back, but no crossbow arrows."

"They also all carried a strange pouch around their waists, which didn't seem to be a pouch for medicine."

Mu Tou laughed, "You are one of us, so it's okay to tell you this."

"That crossbow is called the Blood-Burning Crossbow. It uses Qi and blood as its arrows. As long as the Qi and blood are exhausted, the crossbow arrows will continue to fly."

"The waist bag is filled with blood explosion talismans. They are made from the blood of the second-level warriors. The explosion power is extremely strong."

"Fifty blood explosion talismans exploding at the same time are enough to injure a fourth-level warrior."

Jia Yi's heart trembled when he heard this.

These two things are obviously first-class strategic materials.

Xiaohe City was just a small village before, how could it get these things?

Mu Tou saw through his confusion at a glance.

He smiled and said, "All of this is a gift from the Master of the Spirit."

"He also imparted more knowledge and wisdom to us."

"The Blood Burst Crossbow and Blood Explosion Talisman are just two of them. There are many more things waiting for us to unlock and explore."

Jia Yi nodded repeatedly, "I also want to pay my respects to the Master of the Spiritual Envoy."

"Go ahead, it's in the temple." Mu Tou smiled.

Jiayi walked forward with big strides, looking pious.

"As long as you also respect the Soul Envoy, we are a family." Mu Tou looked at his back and smiled.

…

Chu Xuan swept his spiritual sense across the current situation of Xiaohe City and nodded repeatedly.

A large area has been opened up near Xiaohe City as the activity site for the Jialong Camp.

There is also an attached area next to it, which is used as the activity venue for Julong Camp.

With the addition of Jiayi, many of the not-so-docile colts gradually became docile.

In addition, Xiaohe City has never been short of food and grass.

The number of colt dragons, pack dragons, and armored dragons gradually increased.

It is gradually becoming the largest force in the vicinity.

Chu Xuan saw a group of troops leaving Xiaohe City lightly and nodded slightly. "This guy is really a smart man. He didn't get complacent after conquering Sanhe City. Instead, he started to prepare for the rainy day and sent people to infiltrate the Storm State territory."

"This way, if there are any unusual movements in Storm State, Xiaohe City will also be the first to know."

In his opinion, Storm State will surely return one day in the future.

Today's false stability is nothing more than the calm before the storm.

When the next storm arises, it will probably be time to decide the future of the one country and four states structure.

…

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

The population of Xiaohe City has soared to more than 5,000 people.

Xiaohe City is geographically remote and is blocked by two large mountains nearby.

Such a location means unfavorable transportation, but it also means it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If outsiders want to attack and kill their way in, they will have to spend a lot of effort.

Many people even brought their families from Sanhe City and moved to Xiaohe City.

I was attracted by the peace and tranquility of Xiaohe City in this chaotic world.

Wood did not disappoint these people.

As early as two years ago, he had reorganized the guard into the Xiaohe Army.

Its number has also soared from the previous seventy or eighty to the current three hundred.

This does not include the colt dragon knights and armored dragon knights.

The physique of the Longbo people is different from that of humans.

Both men and women can fight, and there is not much difference in their energy and blood.

In addition, the grain yield is extremely high.

This is the only way to support so many full-time soldiers and maintain such a high military-civilian ratio.

What's more, this is a world where personal power determines everything.

A fourth-transformation warrior has more than ten times the energy and blood of a third-transformation warrior.

Therefore, as long as there are enough elite soldiers and generals, it doesn't matter if the number of troops is smaller.

It is entirely possible to attack Huanglong directly and take the enemy general's head first among thousands of troops.

Because of the large amount of Chiling rice planted, among the 300 people in the Xiaohe Army, there are two people who have reached the fourth level of Qi and blood, and there are fifty people who have reached the third level of Qi and blood.

This does not include the Saint Yuliu, the Guardian Shanshi, and the City Lord Mu Tou.

Xiaohe City's war potential is far more terrifying than outsiders imagine.

"City Lord! City Lord! Great joy! Huo Teng found what you wanted!"

A young man rushed into the wooden house, out of breath, but with a happy look on his face.

Mu Tou immediately stood up and scolded in a deep voice, "Shut up, this matter cannot be made public."

The young man quickly covered his mouth and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, City Lord. I was too excited and couldn't hold back for a moment."

"Let's go and take a look." Mu Tou nodded.

A moment later, the two arrived at the workshop area of ​​Xiaohe City.

There are ten Xiaohe Army soldiers guarding this place from morning to night. It is the most heavily defended area in Xiaohe City.

As soon as the two entered the workshop, they saw an exaggeratedly shaped machine lying on the ground.

The huge black steel pipe slanted towards the sky.

It seems like it wants to blow the sky down!

Next to the black steel pipe stood a burly man with broad shoulders and a big waist.

The sturdy man exposed his upper body, revealing his strong and muscular body.

She wore a gray-black apron around her lower body.

If you look closely, you will see that the apron is not gray or black, but is dyed black by various burn marks and sweat.

He is Huo Teng.

The workshop director appointed by Mu Tou himself is in charge of the workshop and weapons research and development.

Huo Teng was overjoyed when he saw Mu Tou walk in. "City Lord! I've made what you wanted! Now all we need to do is test its power!"

After saying this, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Master Yuanshenshi is truly amazing. He can easily provide the method for forging such a weapon."

Mu Tou looked at the huge cannon and showed a look of joy.

This thing is called Blood Dragon Cannon.

Like the Blood Explosion Talisman and the Blood Explosion Crossbow, they are the crystallization of wisdom bestowed by the Lord Yuanshen.

However, the Blood Dragon Cannon is more complicated than the Blood Explosion Talisman and the Blood Explosion Crossbow.

One of the reasons why it was not built before was that there were insufficient resources and it was difficult to build.

The second reason is that the creation method is too complicated, and he has only now sorted it out clearly.

Huo Teng used to be the blacksmith in Xiaohe Village.

His father and grandfather were also blacksmiths.

When the spirit sent down the rain of enlightenment, Huo Teng was also enlightened.

For this reason, Mu Tou provided the idea and Huo Teng put it into practice, and this is how the Blood Dragon Cannon was created.

Mu Tou whispered, "Cover it with something and take it outside the city to test its power."

"Yes." Huo Teng nodded.

Although he was careless, he knew very well that such a deadly weapon must not be shown to others easily.

Today's Xiaohe City is no longer the Xiaohe Village of the past, and there are many people outside.

Who knows if there are bad people among the masses?

…

boom!

A roaring sound made Henry Chu, who was making tea, raise his eyebrows.

He expanded his spiritual sense and soon saw the wood, the fire, and the exaggeratedly shaped blood dragon cannon.

"Yes, this thing has been made, and it was successfully launched in one go. It's quite powerful."

He nodded with satisfaction.

The Blood-Surging Crossbow and the Blood-Dragon Cannon are, in fact, magical weapons for cultivating immortals in another sense.

However, they are driven by Qi and blood, and are more clumsy.

Especially things like the Blood Dragon Cannon, which often require many people to activate at the same time.

Compared with magic weapons that can be controlled by spiritual consciousness, their flexibility and power are much lower.

Chu Xuan taught these things to the people of Xiaohe City just hoping that they could speed up their development.

Otherwise, if he wanted to reach the fifty-first level of body refinement in the future, he would have to go through a lot of trouble and personally collect the Red Ridge rice.

He took a sip of tea, closed his eyes, and savored it carefully. "These blooming flowers after the snow are truly fragrant and leave a lasting aftertaste."

"I really hope that the development of Xiaohe City will be as smooth as this tea."

…

Mu Lei Fang.

As usual, Chu Xuan was here, leaning on the railing, gazing out into the distance and sipping a cup of tea.

The reason I come here from time to time is mainly to change the atmosphere.

I have been in seclusion on Giant Star for too long this time. If I continue to be in such a depressing environment, my mood will definitely be disturbed.

Once you really go astray, it will be too late to regret.

At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flying through the air from the corner of his eye, and heard screams outside.

"It's a Earth-level person from the other side!"

"Oh my god, is the one chasing after us the Divine Transformation Elder of the Five Thunder Mountain Sect?"

"Two people are chasing one person. It seems that the Earth-level Beyonder will definitely not be able to escape."

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.

Local-level people from the other side?

I wonder who it could be.

At this moment, a sound like thunder was heard in the sky.

"Skylark, hand over the remaining two hall masters of the other shore! We can protect your life!"

Then another voice sounded.

"Although you are a fallen cultivator, God is merciful. As long as you cooperate with us, you can save your life!"

Henry Chu's movement of reaching out to take the snacks suddenly froze.

lark?

The other party also wants her to give out the remaining two hall masters?

This is not a good thing.

"Forget it... I didn't want to get involved in this mess."

"I didn't expect that I would be forced to take action."

He sighed softly, threw down a few spirit stones, and stood up to leave.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.

When he reappeared, he had become a bald and bearded man.

He has fierce facial features, broad shoulders and a big waist.

You can tell at first glance that he is not someone to be trifled with.

…

On top of a towering mountain range.

A skylark flew by.

Her right arm was broken off at the root and her body was covered with scars.

Even so, she had no intention of stopping and waiting to die.

What the two Five Thunder Mountain Sect's Divine Transformation Elders behind her said were nothing but words to confuse her mind.

Even if she gave up the remaining two hall masters, she would still die.

It's just the difference between dying early or late.

"My spiritual power is no longer enough to escape from Purple Thunder Star."

"Escape now is just a way to buy time."

"If the Second Palace Master knew I was here, perhaps he would lend a hand..."

Yunque smiled bitterly in his heart.

Just then, she suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from behind.

Mixed in were the screams of the two Divine Transformation Elders.

This sound did not last long and stopped abruptly.

Skylark looked over and suddenly saw a bald, bearded man flying in another direction.

The other party even glanced at her from a distance.

Skylark understood what he meant and turned and left.

After a while, he disappeared.

After a while, the two elders of the Wulei Mountain Sect who had reached the state of transformation finally rushed out of the woods.

But there was no sign of Skylark and the bearded man.

"Damn it! They got away! I didn't expect another Divine Transformation cultivator to show up on the way!"

"That person who helped the fallen cultivator must also be a fallen cultivator. He is most likely the Palace Master of the Other Shore!"

"Then search! Seal off the entire Purple Thunder Star. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must find this person!"

The two were furious.

The duck that was in hand just flew away like that.

It's really abominable!

The bald, bearded man had already taken a step forward and disappeared from this world.

Giant Star, Extremely Dark Cave.

Chu Xuan sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated.

With his current level of cultivation, it would be effortless for him to kill the two Divine Transformation Elders.

But he didn't do it.

The Divine Transformation cultivators are not cabbages. Once one of them dies, the Five Thunder Mountain Sect will surely be met with tremendous wrath.

He didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Just a little bit of obstruction will allow Skylark to escape.

"Skylark is a smart person. She should be able to guess that someone is helping her."

"That's all I can do to help."

Henry Chu shook his head slightly and continued to practice.

The sudden appearance of a strange god-transforming person like him and his stopping two elder god-transforming masters from capturing Yunque alive was naturally a big deal.

The Wu Lei Mountain Sect will definitely conduct a thorough investigation of the Purple Thunder Star to find this strange deity.

However, the Wulei Mountain Sect was doomed to fail.

After all, he would only stay in the Jiyin Cave now and would never set foot on the Purple Thunder Star.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, another ten years passed on Giant Star.

Thanks to the stable supply of Chiling rice, Xiaohe City's strength has steadily increased.

Every soldier of the Xiaohe Army is now armed to the teeth.

Each person carries a blood-breaking knife, two blood-bursting crossbows, a blood-bursting talisman waist bag, and a set of dragon-patterned armor.

Needless to say, there is the Blood Explosion Crossbow and Blood Explosion Talisman.

The Blood-Breaking Knife is an equipment invented by Huo Teng.

This blade has been specially forged and has extra lethality to qi and blood.

The grooves on its surface also have the effect of bleeding, which can further kill the enemy.

The dragon-patterned armor was also an equipment invented by Huo Teng.

This kind of armor has an exceptionally strong resistance to qi and blood.

The second-transformation soldier is wearing a full set of dragon-patterned armor, which is enough to withstand the full force of the third-transformation soldier.

In addition, there is the newly built artillery camp.

Every soldier here has been double-tested by wood and fire, and their loyalty can be fully guaranteed.

The current Xiaohe City still looks very weak.

But the war potential is enough to compete with three cities at the same time!

Not to mention, Xiaohe City also has sister towns such as Sanhe City, Dahe Town, and Yuanlin Town.

Once Xiaohe City is trapped, the other towns can immediately send troops to provide assistance.

This summer was just as those who cared had expected.

The Storm State raised the slogan of a northern expedition to suppress the rebellion and started an army again.

This time, it was not only the Storm Kingdom that responded to the uprising, but also the Iron Kingdom in the eastern islands.

It seemed that both sides had already set the signal.

Therefore, on the first day of the Storm State's Northern Expedition, the Iron Island State sent a large number of ships to land on the east coast of the Great Cang Kingdom.

The war has begun.

This time, it won't end as easily as last time.

…

"Fortunately, Storm Nation's main attack direction is still the important city of Iron Armor City within the territory of Da Cang Nation."

"The ones attacking my Xiaohe City are just a group of less than a hundred people."

"Obviously, they have greatly underestimated the strength of Xiaohe City."

Mu Tou couldn't help but smile when he got the information collected by his men.

It is naturally a good thing that the enemy has underestimated our strength.

He immediately gave orders in an orderly manner to mobilize Xiaohe City.

The upcoming battle will be the first battle between Xiaohe City and Storm State.

Whether you can survive in this chaotic world depends on this first battle!

…

At the same time, Henry Chu also withdrew his attention.

He has already ordered King Xiaocao to protect Xiaohe City.

In addition, Xiaohe City also has the current strength, so it should not be difficult to deal with a hundred-man team from Storm State.

If he can't even deal with these enemies, all his efforts will be in vain.

"Continue practicing."

"It's still difficult to reach the 50th level of Body Refining for now, so let's practice something else first."

"Then... the Taiyin Falling Dragon Breathing Method."

"Ever since I mastered 'Heaven Canning', I still haven't been able to advance to the second level. I don't know what the second level of this method will bring me."

Chu Xuan took out more than ten bottles of Da Dichen Pills and began to practice the arduous process of taking the medicine.

This pill has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit.

Whenever you practice the "Taiyin Falling Dragon Eating Air Method", you must use this pill.

Otherwise, there is a possibility of losing one's mind.

He had a premonition before practicing.

It seems that the time has come for this method to break through.

This is indeed the case.

I have only been practicing in seclusion for less than a month.

He felt as if he was about to lose his mind.

He was not surprised but happy.

Because this means that he is about to reach the threshold of the second level.

Another month passed.

This urge is getting stronger and stronger.

It often made his eyes red and he wanted to tear everything apart.

The consumption of Dachendust-Cleansing Pills also increased.

The consumption rate was much faster than he had imagined.

Fortunately, he had prepared enough large dust-cleansing pills.

Otherwise, you will have to stop practicing and start refining the elixir first.

This day.

Chu Xuan felt that he had almost reached his limit.

The Da Dichen Pill is almost gone.

"Hasn't there been a breakthrough yet?"

He let out a low roar, and the sound echoed in the extremely dark cave, not dying down for a long time.

It was at this moment.

A crisp sound that only exists at the soul level suddenly rang out.

Click.

Suddenly, the view became clear.

The dragon-falling magic seed in his body expanded more than three times.

He also instinctively stretched out his hand and slammed it on the ground!

Buzz buzz buzz!

Endless earth energy suddenly surged in from all directions.

Within a radius of thousands of miles, all mountains, rivers and lakes are under your control!

"rise!"

Chu Xuan roared, and the energy of the earth veins was actually sucked out by him.

In the blink of an eye, it condensed around him into an almost solid towering mountain!

Vast and majestic! Standing still!

It seems that nothing in the world can break through its defense!

Chu Xuan was overjoyed and immediately said, "Tianku, attack me!"

Tianku let out a squeak and immediately accelerated to fly over.

He was still standing there one moment, and in the next he had already rushed to Henry Chu.

A pair of mantis arms suddenly slashed out, and a sharp green light broke through the air.

It was so sharp that it seemed to be able to cut everything into pieces.

In the past, all of Henry Chu's methods could not withstand the attack of Tianku.

After all, the Tianku is a sixth-level Gu, which is equivalent to a major out-of-body experience.

No matter how strong Chu Xuan is, he is still within the scope of a Divine Transformation cultivator.

But now, it's different!

when!

Tianku's long-awaited attack struck the mountain fiercely.

He was ejected on the spot.

Chu Xuan was not hurt at all!

There is not even any recoil force!

Tianku's pair of small black bean-like eyes were full of surprise.

Chu Xuan waved his hand to disperse the mountain formed by the condensed energy of the earth veins, and laughed heartily with a happy expression.

"Great! This move truly is the strongest defense! Since it can withstand the full force of a rank six Gu, it can also withstand the full force of a cultivator who has reached the Out-of-Body stage!"

"Xiangdi, what a good name!"

Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

This move "Enjoying the Earth" is the move he learned when he entered the second level of "Taiyin Falling Dragon Breathing Method".

"Xiang" means meal or food.

To feast the earth is to use domineering means to extract the energy from the earth veins, transform it into one's own use, and resist all enemies!

"This 'Taiyin Falling Dragon Breathing Method' truly deserves to be called a top-level Falling Cultivation Method."

"Eat the sky, and even a strong attack."

"Enjoy the land and strengthen the defense."

"I am only a Spiritual Transformation cultivator. With Heaven-Eating I can kill Out-of-Body cultivators, and with Earth-Eating I can resist Out-of-Body cultivators."

"No wonder this world cannot tolerate fallen cultivators."

Chu Xuan was filled with emotion.

It's so fierce, who can bear it?

"Although I haven't yet entered the realm of the Out-of-Body Realm, I'm no longer afraid of it."

"The turmoil on Purple Thunder Star should have calmed down a lot. It would be a good idea to go back and take a look."

He was full of energy and took a step forward, returning to the Purple Thunder Star.

…

Purple Thunder Star, Mu Lei Fang.

Chu Xuan drank tea by the window as usual.

Just as he expected, the Five Thunder Mountain Sect sealed off the Purple Thunder Star and thoroughly investigated the whereabouts of the bearded god, but they still couldn't find him.

Even the skylarks disappeared without a trace.

In the end, I had to give up in disappointment.

However, a piece of latest news surprised him.

Song Lingcai, the Seven-Colored Taoist Lord of the Sea God Island, and Tang Zhengan, the Qian Taoist Lord, openly sent letters to the Shushan Taoist Lord of the Wuya Academy and the Ming Taoist Lord of the Jiuyou Palace, inviting them to a meeting at the Qiqiao Lake!

Chu Xuan shook his head slightly, "He is really ambitious. It's not enough for him to swallow up the Creation Cave Heaven. He is also planning to take over the territories of Wuya Academy and Jiuyou Palace."

"However, the Seven-Colored Dao Lord is already in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, surpassing the others."

"This invitation is really a hot potato for Wuya Academy and Jiuyou Palace."
