"Okay! I can temporarily waive the issue of you misusing my image."
But you mustn't do anything strange to her, or I'll definitely not let you off the hook."
Mingye stared at Chen Mu and warned him.
"No! I definitely wouldn't!"
Chen Mu quickly answered, though he didn't understand what this strange thing was.
The four continued to enjoy the food on the table. As the Chen Kingdom grew more prosperous, the ingredients Chen Mu brought out became increasingly precious. Demon King Realm beast meat, rare spiritual plants, and spiritual grains became readily available.
"Wow~ Delicious! Delicious!"
Suddenly, a childish voice rang out, and everyone then noticed that the white fox in Mingye's arms had actually spoken.
"Oh... I forgot, Little White has already broken through to the Emperor Realm and can speak."
Fearing he might frighten the others, Mingye quickly began to explain.
For beastmen, generally only those who reach the Saint Level can understand human language. It is said that after reaching the God Level, they can also transform into human form. However, the Little White Fox can speak human language even at the Emperor Level, which is indeed a gift.
After receiving Mingye's explanation, everyone quickly understood. For a prodigy born at the Demon King Realm, a seven or eight-year-old Demon Beast Emperor was still acceptable.
" Little White, come to Sister Duo."
When Chen Duo saw the Little White Fox's adorable appearance, she couldn't help but want to hug it.
"Awoo..."
The Little White Fox looked at Chen Duo for a while, recognized that Chen Duo was Chen Mu's sister, and happily jumped up and jumped into Chen Duo's arms.
After Chen Mu brought the Little White Fox back to Chen Village, the Little White Fox lived in Chen Village for a long time, so most of the people in Chen Village knew him, and Chen Duo often played with him.
After Mingye went to Nether Luo Mountain for seclusion, Chen Mu sent the Little White Fox to accompany Mingye, partly to ensure Mingye's safety.
During the banquet, Chen Mu and the others casually mentioned to Mingye the events that had occurred in Chen Village in recent years, including the establishment of the nation, the attack on Moon Capital Pass, and the rescue of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.
"Wait a minute, you said Heaven-Questioning Pavilion was attacked? How is my master? Is she alright?"
When Chen Mu mentioned the attack on the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, Mingye's expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask about his master Leng Bi's situation.
Although Mingye had not been taught by Leng Bi for long at the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, and both of them were indifferent, they did not seem to have a deep relationship.
But Chen Mu knew very well that Mingye respected Leng Bi very much, and if anything happened to Leng Bi, Mingye would definitely fight the Heart Demon Emperor to the death.
Don't worry, she's fine now!
She was indeed ambushed by a spy and seriously injured, but fortunately my master, Elder Ming, saved her. Later, I sent someone to give her some medicinal herbs to help her recover, and she has now fully recovered.
Chen Mu quickly explained to Mingye.
Mingye felt relieved, but couldn't help but utter a harsh remark. "Hmph! The Abyss Devil Race are getting more and more rampant. I'll make sure they get kicked out of the Pan Emperor Continent sooner or later."
"Of course! That's exactly what we need to do now. Now that you're out of seclusion, you can help me too."
Chen Mu deeply agreed. As long as the Abyss Devil Race are not eliminated, the Human Clan will never have a peaceful life. Even if they continue to live in seclusion, as long as the Abyss Devil Race eliminate other threats, they will definitely turn their attention to the Chen Kingdom.
"Speaking of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, since they escaped, they are now fully supporting our campaign against the Abyss Devil Race."
Many people from the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion have joined our army, including some of our fellow disciples whom we know, such as Niu Buqu, Ji Ning, and Zhuang Linyi.
Hehe, if I have time later, I can take you to meet them.
Zheng Fengdao put down his chopsticks and made a suggestion.
The youthful arrogance has become unimportant after the passage of time. For Zheng Fengdao, meeting Chen Mu at the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion was a turning point in his life. If he hadn't joined Chen Village, he might not even have been able to break through to the Core Formation Realm, let alone enjoy his current success.
So even though he had been expelled from the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, he was still happy to take care of his former fellow disciples.
"It would be good to see them, but I don't have time right now."
The Black Demon Emperor's war in the north is nearing its end. Once he has free time, he will definitely launch a counterattack against us. We must be prepared.
On the other hand, the governor of Jing Province has been restless lately, constantly trying to infiltrate and annex our cities in Yi Province.
Yi Province has only just been annexed, and with so many people and so much gossip, they've actually managed to wrest several cities from us. It seems we need to retaliate against them during this period, otherwise they'll really think we're easy to bully.
Chen Mu picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The real controller of Jing Province now is actually the sixth prince Long Xiang, who was the same prince who forced Chen Mu to hand over the Rune Artifacts in Absolute Sword City back then.
Back then, after Long Xiang lost the struggle for the throne to Long Bo, he fled to Jing Province, where he amassed a powerful army and now completely controls the Jing Province.
Behind Long Xiang is the support of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, Long Xiang mother is the daughter of the current Heavenly Puppet Sect leader.
Therefore, even though the Abyss Devil Race sent a large force to attack Jing Province, they have not gained much advantage so far. Eighty percent of Jing Province's territory remains intact, with only a small portion in the northwest occupied by the Abyss Devil Race.
Brother, you don't need to rush.
Hou Sailei told me that the Heavenly Puppet Sect has been squeezed out of the market for Rune Artifacts, especially for civilian Rune Artifacts, by us. Their losses are much greater than ours; giving them those cities wouldn't make a difference."
Chen Duo didn't think it was a big deal. Wars were nothing more than a means to acquire resources, and the profits from the Rune Artifacts market were much greater than those in remote cities. Besides, those people weren't being persecuted by the Abyss Devil Race anymore, so there didn't seem to be anything worth arguing about.
"That's true. There's no need to rush for now. We can make plans after I've trained ' Taichu ' properly."
Chen Mu nodded, his expression softening.
"By the way, I heard from Sister Wei Shuang that she invited you to the Sword-Questioning Sect. When are you planning to go?"
Chen Duo couldn't help but think of Wei Shuang and couldn't resist asking Chen Mu.
Although the Sword-Questioning Sect is one of the three strongest sects on the Pan Emperor Continent, it is not well-known, and many ordinary cultivators have never even heard of it.
This is mainly because the Sword-Questioning Sect has few members and keeps a low profile. Even when they make a move in the mortal realm, they rarely reveal their identity to others.
On the other hand, the Sword-Questioning Sect also possesses a complete lower plane, where most of their disciples cultivate diligently, pursuing the ultimate Sword Dao. Therefore, even when the Abyss Devil Race attacked this place, they did not react much.
The Sword-Questioning Sect's main gate is located within Yi Province, and the King Who Guards the West's Residence clearly has a deep connection with the Sword-Questioning Sect, which is why Wei Shuang invited Chen Mu to the Sword-Questioning Sect the sect leader of the Sword-Questioning Sect.
