Peacock County's "Demon-Suppressing Pass"
Although Kong Wenxuan was preparing to leave Peacock County and head south to search for the hidden strongholds of the Demon Race in the "South Lake Mountains", he was not in a hurry to do so in just a day or two.
Therefore, he stayed in Peacock County Seat for another half month, both to learn more about the situation and news in Peacock County and Bifang Commandery in recent years, and to spend more time with his parents and family.
His parents in this life were just ordinary people who failed to awaken the Peacock Bloodline. They were both over sixty years old. Even with the Lineage's various resources and spiritual offerings, they were only expected to live for a hundred years at most, and their lives were already half over.
For True Spirit Lineage, unless they advance to Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage of Sixth-Grade True Spirit or above, each member only has one chance in their lifetime to awaken their bloodline; once missed, there is no second chance.
Therefore, unless Kong Wenxuan can elevate the Lineage's "Peacock True Spirit" to the Sixth-Grade True Spirit position before his parents pass away, his parents will probably never have the chance to awaken their bloodline and embark on the path of cultivation.
It could be said that he and his parents were destined to part forever decades Celestial Person.
Kong Wenxuan can do now, besides providing them with better material and living conditions, is to spend more time with them whenever he has the chance.
However, his path destined him to not be able to stay for long.
Therefore, after staying in the clan for half a month, Kong Wenxuan had to bid farewell to his parents and clan chief again, board the "Cuckoo Feather Boat" that the clan had consecrated, and fly directly away from "Peacock County Seat" and head south.
A day later, Kong Wenxuan flew to the southern border of Peacock County in his "Cuckoo Feather Boat". The Kong Household built their own "Demon-Suppressing Pass" here, which was built based on the "South One County Boundary Stele" placed here.
Eighth Aunt Kong Yuling and Nineteenth Uncle Kong Yugui, along with some of the Lineage's Qi Refinement disciples and the "Peacock Dao Soldiers" who had been newly trained and enlightened in the last three years, were stationed here to guard against attacks from the demonic Demon Beast and Demon Race races deep in the mountains to the south.
It also serves as a place for various forces and cultivators who venture deep into the southern mountains to rest, trade, and exchange ideas.
The Kong Household has no intention of continuing to attack, expand, or develop their territory to the south. After all, Peacock County has only been established for a few years, so they naturally do not have the resources to continue expanding southward.
Therefore, unlike the Du Household in the past, the Kong Household did not recruit cultivators from their subordinate Lineage to form service teams to serve at the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" in Peacock County, to explore and mine resources to the south.
After all, the number of servant Lineage under the Kong Household's command is currently limited. Even with the additions in recent years, the total number is only slightly more than two hands' width.
Moreover, these servant Lineage, such as the Yan Household, the Ma Household, and the Yun Household, made many contributions in the Kong Household's war of expansion, and suffered a lot of sacrifices and casualties. The number and strength of the cultivators in these Lineage are now insufficient.
Or they are families like the Xiong Household, the Quan Household, and the Diao Household, which are all wild Bloodline Lineage that have come to join them. Their development is not good, and they are lacking in the number and strength of their cultivators.
These limited number of servant Lineage, as well as the limited number of cultivators and resources, are still insufficient even when used for the management and mining of spiritual materials, resource points, and mineral veins throughout Peacock County.
Where would they find the spare strength to be conscripted to "Demon-Suppressing Pass" to explore, survey, and search for resources in the mountains outside "Demon-Suppressing Pass"?
The resources and land within Peacock County have not yet been fully exploited, so why rush to explore and exploit resources elsewhere?
Therefore, in the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" of the Kong Household, apart from the Kong Household cultivators such as Eighth Aunt and Nineteenth Uncle who are stationed here, most of them are cultivators and forces from all sides who are attracted by the resources and spiritual objects deep in the "South Lake Mountains" and want to go deep into the southern mountains to explore and collect resources.
The number of people was not large, and the liveliness and prosperity were nowhere near as great as the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" of the Du Household back then.
However, Kong Wenxuan could see that the design and layout of his "Demon-Suppressing Pass" clearly bore the shadow of the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" in Cuckoo County.
Clearly, the Kong Household had served at the "Demon-Suppressing Pass"Demon-Suppressing Pass in Cuckoo County Cuckoo County many years and were very familiar with it. Therefore, when building their own "Demon-Suppressing Pass" in Peacock County, they naturally referenced the construction and layout of the Cuckoo County "Demon-Suppressing Pass".
Kong Wenxuan observed the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" from the outside. His Eighth Aunt, Nineteenth Uncle, and others stationed inside the pass quickly noticed his arrival and came out to greet him.
"Wenxuan, what brings you here? Is there something wrong with the clan?"
Eighth Aunt Kong Yuling was a teammate of Kong Wenxuan in the same hunting team, while Nineteenth Uncle Kong Yugui was a teammate of Kong Wenxuan in the same Lineage service squad. Both of them were quite familiar with Kong Wenxuan.
So, upon seeing him, I asked him directly.
"The clan is fine," Kong Wenxuan immediately said, reassuring them not to worry. He then explained, "I was on my way to take care of some business in the depths of the South Lake Mountains, south of the Demon-Suppressing Pass, so I was passing through here."
Do you need our help?
Aunt Kong Yuling immediately inquired.
Kong Wenxuan waved his hand and said, "Just give me a copy of the maps and intelligence information you've collected in recent years about the area outside ' Demon-Suppressing Pass ' and the depths of the ' South Lake Mountains '."
"Okay, no problem!"
Aunt Kong Yuling immediately agreed.
As they spoke, the group entered the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" and headed towards the Kong Household's residence within the Demon-Suppressing Pass."
In the following days, Kong Wenxuan stayed in "Demon-Suppressing Pass" to check the various maps, materials and information that his aunt Kong Yuling, his nineteenth uncle Kong Yugui and others had collected in "Demon-Suppressing Pass" over the years. He was looking for possible clues about the Demon Race and the Du Household cultivators, and planning a route to go deep into the "South Lake Mountains" for exploration.
Li! Li li...
On this day, Kong Wenxuan was reviewing documents in the garrison headquarters when he suddenly heard the clear chirping of Peacock coming from outside.
He immediately walked out of the archives and looked up, where he saw a surreal "Five-Colored Peacock" in the sky above the "Demon-Suppressing Pass," its head held high, chirping and wings outstretched.
"Uncle Nineteen, what happened?"
Just then, he saw his nineteenth uncle, Kong Yugui, walk out from the side and hurry away, so he immediately asked him.
"Nephew Wenxuan." Upon seeing him, his nineteenth uncle, Kong Yugui, immediately stopped and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious. Some Demon Beast from the southern mountains have attacked and gathered outside the ' Demon-Suppressing Pass,' causing the pass to be on alert."
"This kind of thing happens once or twice every month or two."
"In fact, things are better now. Two or three years ago, these kinds of attacks happened almost every month. We've gotten used to it."
