Preparations Amid a Changing Situation
Inside the county government office of Peacock County, Kong Wenxuan regained his composure, and the starlight on the official seal of "Magistrate of Peacock County" on his hand gradually faded away.
He looked up at the sky thoughtfully. Even the Bifang Commandery had led the Bi Household army to the Outer Heaven Battlefield to participate in the war against the martial artists of the "True Martial World". This showed how fierce the battles and killings were on the Outer Heaven Battlefield, and also how troublesome the invasion by the Demon Race in collusion with the martial artists of the "True Martial World" was.
"Given the current uncertain situation, the most important thing is to enhance our strength and strengthen our defenses."
Kong Wenxuan's mind raced, and he had already made a decision.
He flipped his hand to put away the "Magistrate's Official Seal," walked out of the county government office, and looked towards the Peacock County.
Although the Kong Household had just experienced a fierce battle in the "Peacock Secret Realm" against the invasion of martial arts cultivators from the "True Martial World," with many clan members and Peacock Dao Soldiers dying or being injured.
However, the people living, doing business, and playing in Peacock County were completely unaware of this. They were also unaware that the "True Spirit Realm" was currently engaged in a great war with the Demon Race and the martial arts practitioners of the "True Martial World Realm." Some "True Spirit Secret Realm" of "True Spirit Lineage" had even been breached, and the county towns and prefectures they controlled had been ravaged by the invading martial arts practitioners.
They were all simply immersed in the liveliness, prosperity, and peace of Peacock County.
The fierce battle in the "Peacock Secret Realm" contrasted sharply with the bustling and prosperous Peacock County Seat, giving Kong Wenxuan a sense of temporal displacement.
After a long while, Kong Wenxuan took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards "Longevity Mountain," returning to "Peacock Secret Realm."
Peacock County is his home, the foundation of his Lineage. He would never allow martial artists from the "True Martial World" to destroy such prosperity and stability, or to poison his home and clan's land.
In the current chaotic situation where the Demon Race colludes with the martial artists of the "True Martial World" to launch a large-scale invasion, he must have greater strength and combat power to protect Peacock County, the "Peacock Secret Realm," his homeland, and his Lineage.
Just then, the "Peacock Secret Realm" had just completed its expansion, growing from a radius of 300 li to 900 li. A large amount of the "True Spirit Realm" primordial power was integrated into the secret realm, which not only greatly increased the resources and Spiritual Qi in the secret realm, but more importantly, it also allowed the Spiritual Qi in the secret realm to be tainted with the "primordial aura", transforming it into "Pseudo-Innate" Spiritual Qi once again.
Although the "Pseudo-Innate" Spiritual Qi generated this time is certainly inferior in quality and effect to the "Pseudo-Innate" Spiritual Qi generated when the "Peacock Secret Realm" was first opened.
However, its effects far surpass those of ordinary Spiritual Qi. At the very least, it can accelerate the cultivation process of cultivators within it, increase the success rate of awakening bloodlines, and break through major realms.
It's perfect for him and his clansmen to use to accelerate their cultivation and improve their strength, so they can better cope with the current chaotic and dangerous situation.
Back in the "Peacock Secret Realm," Kong Wenxuan found the clan leader Kong Changgeng, the second elder Kong Changlan, his uncle Kong Yushuo, and others, and told them the news he had received from Bi Yanshu, the head of the household affairs office of the prefectural government.
Although they don't yet know the situation of the Outer Heaven Battlefield, the news that many "True Spirit Lineage '" "True Spirit Secret Realm" have been invaded by martial artists from the "True Martial World," and that some "True Spirit Secret Realm" have already been breached and occupied, and that county towns and prefectures controlled by "True Spirit Lineage" have been breached and ravaged by invading martial artists, is enough to make them take it seriously.
Chencang's new work is here, updated first across the entire network!
"Hoo..." After a long while, clan chief Kong Changgeng let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "We can't interfere with the situation in the Outer Heaven Battlefield, and we can't even get involved in the battle with the ' Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven ' Demon Race race."
"All we can do is take care of what's in front of us, protect Peacock County, and protect our Kong Household."
"As for the battles in the Outer Heaven Battlefield and the ' Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven,' we can only rely on the strength of the mid-grade and high-grade ' True Spirit Lineage.'"
"After all these years, the Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty has kept the martial artists of the True Martial World firmly outside the True Spirit Realm and suppressed the Demon Race to the point that they dare not show their faces. I believe that this time they will definitely be able to suppress the Demon Race and the martial artists of the True Martial World Realm as well."
Hearing the clan leader say this, the group nodded slightly.
The clan chief then looked at his eldest uncle, Kong Yushuo, and said, "Yushuo, go back to the county town first, gather the troops from the county government's military office, and strengthen the patrols along the borders of Peacock County. At the same time, notify all the servant cultivator Lineage in the county to strengthen the monitoring and protection of Peacock County. If any Demon Race or martial cultivators are found, report it immediately."
"Yes, clan chief." Uncle Kong Yushuo immediately agreed, then hurriedly left the secret realm and returned to the county town to arrange the operation.
The county government of Peacock County has six departments. The military department is in charge of all combat teams in Peacock County, and the eldest uncle Kong Yushuo, serves as the head of the military department.
Of course, the fighting force of this county government's military office was organized with the Kong Household members as the backbone and recruited cultivators from various servant Lineage in the county as the main force.
Although their combat strength is not as good as the Kong Household's "True Spirit Team" and "Daoist Army Team", they have the advantage of sufficient troops. They can patrol the borders and local areas of Peacock County, guard against enemy attacks on Peacock County, and maintain the stability of Peacock County without any problems.
After all, the "True Spirit Team" composed of Kong Household family members and the "Dao Soldier Team" composed of Peacock Dao Soldiers were only organized by the Kong Household a few years ago, and the number of combat-ready members was not even at full strength. They could only be used in some key battles, such as expansion wars, exploration of secret realms, and defense against Demon Beast tides and Demon Race attacks. There were not enough people to be dispersed to patrol the borders and stabilize the local area.
"Second brother." At this moment, the clan chief Kong Changgeng looked at the second elder Kong Changlan and said, "Leave the matter of upgrading the Five Elements Grand Formation to Yujin and the others. You take Wenjun and the others and hurry back to Bifang Commandery City. Keep a close eye on news from the county city and above."
"If there is any news about the Outer Heaven Battlefield, or any changes in the situation in various places, it would be good if it could be sent back in time so that our Kong Household could make preparations accordingly."
Second Elder Kong Changlan nodded upon hearing this, but said, "I'll go to the county city alone first. Wenjun and the others will stay and cultivate in this secret realm for a while. We can't miss out on the benefits of this secret realm's expansion."
"Since I can't advance in cultivation right now, I'll be responsible for going to the county town to gather information."
Upon hearing her say this, the clan chief Kong Changgeng nodded and said, "That's fine then."
Finally, the clan leader looked at Kong Wenxuan and said with a smile, "Wenxuan, your most important task is to improve your cultivation and strength as soon as possible. Now the Demon Race is colluding with the martial artists of the ' True Martial World ' and invading the ' True Spirit Realm.' We don't know how the situation will change next. No matter how much preparation we make, we must have sufficient combat power to guarantee our safety."
Kong Wenxuan nodded upon hearing this.
