Departure-Who to Deal With First?
If the Prince of Qin has gone to such lengths, how could the Xuantian Dao Sect be stingy?
Everything prepared was given to the Prince of Qin. The Old Ancestor Liyue even gave the Prince of Qin a Dao Inquiry Token and designated a place for the Prince of Qin's people in Xuantian City.
Xuantian City, the most prosperous city in Lingzhou, is known as the center of the entire Lingzhou. It is no less than Tiandu City, the capital of the Dagan Imperial Clan. After all, behind Xuantian City is the Xuantian Mountain Range, where the Xuantian Dao Sect is located.
With the addition of the Inquiry Token, anyone from the Prince of Qin's faction could practically establish a foothold in Lingzhou. Apart from the Prince of Qin, no one else in the Dagan Imperial Clan received such treatment, which speaks volumes.
Chu Xuanao also smiled and said.
"I naturally believe the words of the two True Immortals and Sect Master Jing. Such a young hero deserves a better future. I entrust Unparalleled to you all."
Chu Xuanao naturally knew that Unparalleled wouldn't cause any trouble at the Xuantian Dao Sect, and that her becoming Jiang Liyue's disciple already spoke volumes.
True Person Liyue of the Xuantian Dao Sect is a confirmed candidate for the Heavenly Being Realm. It's only a matter of time before he breaks through. His status in the Dao Sect is no less than, and perhaps even greater than, that of his aunt Chu Shenghuang in the Imperial Clan.
Most importantly, Jiang Liyue is already a powerful figure who has grown up, no longer a young prodigy. She is only one step away from the Heavenly Being Realm.
Her birthplace, the Xuantian Dao Sect, combined with her natural talent, destined her to become a Heavenly Being Realm expert.
With his Unparalleled talent and his apprenticeship under Jiang Liyue, he could be said to have achieved a status comparable to that of his second elder sister, Chu Daoling, within the Imperial Clan.
As things stand, Chu Xuanao's official status is not as high as Unparalleled's.
"The mountains and rivers may separate us, but our meeting will continue. If Your Prince has any business, please send a letter. The Xuantian Dao Sect has an inescapable responsibility for the land of Lingzhou. Goodbye."
"Your Highness, Unparalleled is gone."
Jiang Liyue casually uttered a sentence, and the group of Dao Sect members also bowed and performed a Daoist salute. After Unparalleled bid farewell, everyone turned and left.
Only after the people from the Xuantian Dao Sect had all left did Chu Xuanao's face, which was turned away from the crowd, reveal a hint of relief. This charade was finally over.
He had to cooperate with the Imperial Clan, cooperate with the Xuantian Dao Sect, and put on an act in front of a group of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts. He had been acting all day, his expression tense, not daring to relax in the slightest. By now, he was exhausted from acting.
It's finally over. All the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts from various sides have left. Ye Gucheng has accepted Wang Siping's invitation and plans to visit the Sifang Sword Sect first. After that, he will travel the Martial World, waiting for the fish to bite.
The only ones still in Cangshui are the two members of the Imperial Clan and the three dukes' mansions. They will leave soon too. With the Battle of Cangshui over, he should start thinking about his next move.
"Wang Hanying, announce to the entire army that another victory banquet will be held tonight, a banquet prepared solely for our Dagan troops to reward the entire army. You may all go and begin preparations!"
Chu Xuanao stared at the turbulent waters of the Cang River and said in a deep voice.
A victory banquet was held after the battle of Baiyun City, but it was almost exclusively for powerful figures from all sides, not for the soldiers who had risked their lives.
Even before the battle of Baiyun City, Chu Xuanao had said that he would hold a grand victory banquet to reward the soldiers. Now it was time.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will go and prepare immediately!"
At first, Wang Hanying was a little stunned when she heard His Your Highness's words, but she quickly smiled and her face lit up with joy. Qian Shan and Wang Long beside her did the same. As commanders, they knew the situation and needs of the soldiers below them better.
After two consecutive major battles, the soldiers below were already exhausted. With the joy of great victory, now was the best time to reward the army and restore its morale as quickly as possible.
"Any discoveries?"
After Wang Hanying and the others left, Chu Xuanao asked calmly, now only Li Xunhuan, Ghost Servant, and Zhu Wushi remained by his side.
Of course, there was also Yuan Tiangang lurking in the shadows; Chu Xuanao's question was directed at Yuan Tiangang.
With Cangshui just taken over, there's a mountain of things to do. And this Land of Cangshui has once again become the Dagan Cang River Prefecture. Chen Gong is now in charge of the administration of Cangshui, serving as the Prefect of the Cang River Prefecture.
Yes, the registrar of Hanshan Prefecture was promoted to prefect before he even took office.
With the imperial Imperial Decree in hand and military and political Chu Xuanao could act decisively and without anyone daring to object.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Shifei were all busy suppressing rebellions, including the remnants of the Great Feng, powerful figures from the Martial World, spies in hiding, and the Blood Lotus Sect, which was causing trouble during the war.
Trouble kept piling up. If he hadn't just arrived in Cangshui City and hadn't had matters to attend to with the Xuantian Dao Sect and the mission to quell unrest in Cangshui City, Zhu Wushi wouldn't be here; he would have been suppressing the unrest in various places long ago.
Thinking about the Blood Lotus Sect, Chu Xuanao felt a bit irritated. These guys were everywhere in the four kingdoms. Even after the death of the You Lian Holy Envoy, they still wouldn't stop. Like wildfire that can't be extinguished, they would spring up again with the spring breeze. They could never be completely wiped out.
Previously, Cangshui wasn't under his control, so he couldn't manage it; that was a problem for the Great Feng. Now that he's in charge of Cangshui, how can he allow those people to continue causing trouble?
"Your Highness, the Xuantian Dao Sect is probably after that Imperial Star! Jiang Liyue may be after Unparalleled, but Lin Ting definitely isn't here for that."
"Are you sure?"
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Chu Xuanao was somewhat puzzled. Had the Xuantian Dao Sect also set its sights on that imperial star?
Yuan Tiangang, who emerged from the void, looked in the direction of the Great Feng and spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, I do not yet have evidence, but it is almost certain that only that imperial star could have drawn the Xuantian Dao Sect here!"
Chu Xuanao nodded. Ninety percent, that's enough. Judging from Yuan Tiangang's tone, he should be certain, but there's no conclusive evidence.
Yes! Although Yuan Tiangang only said 90%, his tone was extremely certain and affirmative.
The Emperor Star, destined by Heaven, is bound to the Purple Star. Yuan Tiangang himself, knew all too well the allure of the Ziwei Emperor Star to some Daoists.
Looking closely at the various forces in the Cangshui and the two countries, only that imperial star receives such treatment.
"Have you found any trace of that imperial star?"
At this moment, Yuan Tiangang looked at Great Feng with a sharp look in his eyes and slowly lowered his head.
"Your Highness, I am incompetent. Such a massive battle has influenced the global situation of both nations. The Xuantian Dao Sect Great Feng defeat, which will surely cause turmoil in the National Destiny. This should have been the birth of a true dragon, and the Xuan Tian Dao Sect probably wanted to use this opportunity to probe the depths of that imperial star."
"But the destiny of the stars has not been moved, and not a trace of the true Dragon Qi has been seen. Apart from the National Destiny the Great Feng Dynasty, there is no other Dragon Qi. I have also been unable to find any trace of that imperial star."
Not found? Not even a trace?
Chu Xuanao also found it amusing; how could this guy be so patient?
Gazing at the surging river, Chu Xuanao's eyes seemed calm as still water, yet they were also like raging waves. Thoughts flashed through his mind as he murmured to himself.
"Emperor Star, Corpse Immortal Sect and Imperial Clan, Blood Lotus Sect, Great Feng, hahaha!"
With a light laugh, Chu Xuanao asked Yuan Tiangang again.
"Yuan Tiangang, which force do you think we should start with? Or, given so many enemies, who should we deal with first?"
Yuan Tiangang bowed slightly to Chu Xuanao, his hoarse, deep voice carrying a hint of certainty.
"Your Highness has already inquired about him, there is no need for me to say anything more. Hasn't Your Highness already made up your mind?"
Chu Xuanao smiled, glanced at Yuan Tiangang, and then looked at Da Feng, which was only separated by a river. He stood on the Great Feng, head held high, his eyes sharp, like an eagle searching and scanning, as if looking for the prey he wanted.
Yes, don't you already have the answer in your heart?
Emperor Star!
