Heavenly Treasures?
By March 15th, the You Province army was almost fully mobilized, but Chu Xuanao was still waiting. The Blood Dragon Banner had been sent out three days ago, but it was still not enough; it had not yet reached the Capital, nor had it reached the various factions.
He was still waiting for Yuan Tiangang. It was inevitable that the Celestial Phenomenon Realm would participate in this battle, just like more than a hundred years ago. Yuan Tiangang had already replied that he was in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and would soon go to the place Chu Mo mentioned. He would be back in a day at most.
"Alright, everyone, let's arrange things this way for now! Lord Daoshan, the Martial World forces in You Province are now in your hands. The Blood Dragon Banner has been raised, and it won't be long before people from all sides of the Great Qian arrive. As for sending troops, that will have to wait a few more days."
In Zhenyou City, Chu Xuanao faced the leaders of several forces in the You Province Martial World. After discussion, it was decided that the affairs of the You Province Martial World would be arranged by Dao Youming's Koudao Mountain, and they would also accompany the army this time.
"Please Your Highness assured, Your Highness, we will never dishonor the prestige of our Great Qian."
Shortly after everyone left, two figures emerged from the back hall, with one of them, an elderly man, speaking first.
"Your Highness, is You Province about to launch a rebellion against the Great Feng?"
Chu Xuanao turned his head and saw that the people who came were Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo. Since Chu Mo woke up, they had used a lot of precious medicines from the Prince of Qin's Manor in order to help him recover better.
With Li Xunhuan's assistance, Chu Mo's injuries improved considerably, and about 80% of the foul blood in his body was removed. The rest could only be peeled away slowly. There was no other way; the foul blood had been mingling with Chu Mo for too long, and now it was just a matter of patience and time.
Furthermore, Chu Mo's own essence had been depleted over the past century, something Chu Xuanao couldn't do anything about. He could either ask Yuan Tiangang to take action and resolve the tainted blood, but while he had the ability, he wouldn't do it himself. So, he could only wait until Chu Mo returned to the Imperial Clan before figuring out a solution.
Chu Mo was aware of what had happened in the past few days. Li Xunhuan hadn't stopped Chu Mo from conducting some of his investigations. After all, Li Xunhuan was a Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and even though he was injured, he was still a rare top-tier combatant, which would be useful in the upcoming Battle of Cangshui.
Hearing Chu Mo's words, Chu Xuanao nodded slightly.
"Yes, Ancestor, you must have heard some news these days. The Great Feng Interior, and now is the time to reclaim the Cangshui."
Upon hearing the name "Cangshui," Chu Mo felt a surge of inexplicable anger and spoke resentfully.
"Even I never imagined that my Great Qian would lose such a vital natural barrier. When I was imprisoned, Dong Xuanfeng told me about it, and at the time I only thought he was humiliating my Great Qian. Who would have thought... alas!"
When he went to carry out the mission in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, the Battle of Qilian was underway, and the Battle of Cangshui had not yet begun. By the time he returned to Great Qian, his own territory had become the territory of an enemy country.
The Great Qian Imperial Clan was driven all the way to the other side of the Xuanshan Plain by the Great Feng, who used this as the boundary. You should know that this plain used to be the horse farm of the Great Qian. How shameful!
In an instant, Chu Mo's expression hardened.
"Your Highness is right. We must take back the Cangshui to wash away the shame of our Great Qian over the past century and let these Feng people know the might of our Great Qian."
"I missed the Battle of Cangshui in the past, but I have heard about the previous Battle of Youzhou these past few days. Your Highness Your Highness man of great talent and strategy, and your subordinates are full of capable men. In this battle, I am willing to obey Your Highness's orders and reclaim our land for our Imperial Clan."
Chu Xuanao stood up, looked at Chu Mo, and nodded heavily.
"Ancestor, there's no need for that. It's all for the sake of the Great Qian."
Chu Mo said firmly.
"These battles have been entrusted to Your Highness's men. I've only come to confirm something with Your Highness. I will certainly lend Your Highness a hand in this battle. The Blood Dragon Banner has been raised, and now we await news from the Imperial Clan."
Chu Xuanao nodded, looking at the old ancestor Chu Mo before him, his feelings were actually somewhat complicated.
In the past few days, Chu Xuanao had also subtly inquired about this Ancestor Chu Mo. He knew a lot about the Imperial Clan, but he knew nothing about the war against Great Feng or the arrangements for Great Yan.
Of course, the Imperial Clan may not have foreseen these things at that time, since it was more than a hundred years ago, almost two hundred years ago.
Ancestor Chu Mo only knew a lot about the Corpse Immortal Sect, while the most important arrangement of the Imperial Clan at that time was the Battle of Qilian, which was aimed at many forces in the Great Qian Martial World of Great Feng and Da Qian, especially the two top forces within Great Qian, namely [Xuantian Dao Sect] and [Three Demon Mountain].
So, in other words, the Imperial Clan back then probably didn't have a plan like they do now, to let the Great Feng break through their defenses and lure them into their own territory. That would be self- National Destiny. So why do they have one now?
Of course, there is another possibility: at that time, Ancestor Chu Mo's cultivation level was too low, and he had not yet come into contact with the Imperial Clan's plan. The Imperial Clan also felt that their strength was insufficient at that time, and it was not the right time to launch the plan.
Therefore, Ancestor Chu Mo was unaware of this plan. The Corpse Immortal Sect continued to harm people as usual, digging up human corpses in various places to make figurines for fun. There was nothing unusual about it, and the Ancestor didn't even notice.
Your Highness.
Just then, a hurried shout came from outside. The person hadn't even entered yet, but the voice had already reached him, interrupting Chu Xuanao's thoughts. Chu Xuanao frowned. It was Zhu Wushi's voice. What had happened to make Zhu Wushi so anxious?
Zhu Wushi, who practically flew in, spotted Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo at a glance. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, as if he was considering whether or not to speak, but the look quickly disappeared. It was something that should be said, and there was nothing he couldn't say.
With Chu Mo added, things might be even more secure. Zhu Wushi stopped in his tracks, stood in the center of the hall, bowed, and said with a hint of urgency.
"Your Highness, our spies say that a strange phenomenon has occurred on Xuanshan, as if some unparalleled rare treasure has appeared."
"Rare and precious materials?"
Chu Xuanao's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, but there seemed to be a hint of doubt in his tone.
Although rare and precious materials appear almost randomly, and no one knows where they are until they are born, once they are born, it is hard to avoid attracting attention.
But did he really have that kind of luck?
This thing was just placed right in front of him, looking so fresh and clean?
Thinking about the Imperial Clan's schemes in You Province and Great Feng, Chu Xuanao couldn't help but suspect that the matter was a conspiracy by the Imperial Clan.
And it really is just right, perched atop the Xuanshan, nestled between the two countries?
Of course, in reality, Xuanshan is closer to Great Feng, but this place is a buffer zone between the two countries, a no-man's-land, unclaimed, and anyone can set foot in this place.
He was just preparing to launch a military operation when a rare and precious treasure appeared? What a coincidence!
Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo exchanged a glance, Chu Mo immediately asked Zhu Wushi.
"Is the news true? On Xuanshan? Has Xuanshan undergone any unusual changes, or rather, unusual phenomena?"
Chu Mo was well aware of the value of rare and precious materials. This thing was truly a rare treasure, offering a chance to break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Apart from the top forces of various regions, no one could resist its allure, especially those stuck at the Peak Ascension Realm, for they were just missing this item.
Seeing the questioning look in his Your Highness's eyes, Zhu Wushi nodded affirmatively and said...
"Yes, Your Highness, our scouts report that half of Xuanshan has suddenly been shrouded in a thick black mist, as if the entire mountain is about to be swallowed up by this eerie fog. A strange fragrance has spread for miles, and many people feel refreshed and clear-headed just by approaching Xuanshan."
