Bound for Qinggeng Commandery: Demon Race and Martial Cultivators Fleeing to the South Lake Mountains
After the second aunt and the eldest brother successfully advanced to the Purple Mansion Stage, the Kong Household now has a total of six Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage cultivators.
This refers to Kong Wenxuan in the Late Purple Mansion Middle Purple Mansion, Kong Changgeng Kong Yushuo, the clan leader in the Early Purple Mansion, Kong Yushuo, the eldest uncle in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and the third aunt Kong Yuyin, the second Kong Yujin, and the eldest brother Kong Wenzhang, who had just entered the Purple Mansion Stage.
In addition, there's the newly upgraded Peacock Dao Soldiers at the Third Tier, and the nine Third Tier beasts subdued earlier using the "Four Spirits Command".
Currently, the Kong Household has a total of sixteen Third Tier combatants, not even counting the combat power of the several Third Tier treasure ships the Lineage purchased.
Although these Third Tier combatants vary in strength, such as Third Tier beast tamers and Third Tier Peacock Dao Soldiers, who are generally not as strong as Third Tier bloodline cultivators, Demon Race, or martial artists, they can still unleash the power of the Third Tier and entangle some Third Tier enemies.
It can be said that the Kong Household today is not far behind ordinary established Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage in terms of top-tier combat power.
At this moment, the entire Lineage was immersed in the joy of their second Kong Yujin, and eldest brother, Kong Yushuo, successfully advancing to the Purple Mansion Stage. They were holding a "Purple Mansion Banquet" for the two in Peacock County Seat. Meanwhile, Kong Wenxuan was considering and pondering his own path to "Core Formation".
"To successfully form the Core, there are only three steps: first, refine your cultivation; second, enhance the power of your Peacock Bloodline; and finally, the third step is to break through to the Golden Core Stage."
"As for honing my cultivation, back when I was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, I relied on searching for Demon Race strongholds in the ' South Lake Mountains ' and hunting down Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast for several years. Through battles and honing my skills throughout the ' South Lake Mountains,' I honed my Foundation Establishment to its peak, laying the foundation for advancing to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage Realm."
"Now, I want to hone my Purple Mansion Stage cultivation to lay the foundation for breaking through to the Golden Core Stage. It seems best to emulate my Foundation Establishment Realm and engage in a battle and pursuit that lasts for several years as a form of tempering!"
"Given the current situation in the True Spirit Realm, finding a training ground isn't difficult; the closest one is Qinggeng Commandery."
Bifang Commandery, Qinggeng Commandery, and Zhuyan Commandery are three counties connected to each other, and all of them have been invaded and attacked by the Demon Race in collusion with the martial arts practitioners of the "True Martial World". However, after several years, Bifang Commandery and Zhuyan Commandery have successfully repelled the invasion of the Demon Race and martial arts practitioners, and even scattered the invading Demon Race and martial arts practitioners to various places, becoming guerrilla forces.
Only in Qinggeng Commandery, the battle has been raging for several years, and the invading Demon Race and martial artists have not yet been repelled.
The main reason for this is that the bloodline power and Bloodline Divine Ability abilities of the Geng Household, who rule the "Qinggeng Commandery Qinggeng Bloodline," are more effective in healing and saving lives. Geng Household cultivators are more skilled in spiritual medicine and alchemy, but their ability to increase combat power is limited.
On the other hand, the Geng Household "Qinggeng" is a "Fifth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, which is one grade higher than the Bi Household "Bifang". They occupy a wider territory and are stronger. As a result, the number of Demon Race and martial artists attacking "Qinggeng Commandery" is greater and their combat power is stronger, far exceeding that of "Bifang Commandery".
Therefore, the battle in "Qinggeng Commandery" has been dragging on and protracted until now, with no sign of ending.
If he wanted to hone his skills on the battlefield and refine his cultivation, going to the "Qinggeng Commandery" battlefield would undoubtedly be very suitable.
"As for the growth and enhancement of the ' Peacock Bloodline ' power, according to the information provided by Ya Zhaoying, there are several kinds of pills that can be used to enhance bloodline power."
"The Qinggeng Geng Household of Qinggeng Commandery is most skilled in medicine and alchemy, possessing exceptional bloodline power and Bloodline Divine Ability. They have no shortage of various elixirs and miraculous medicines. If one could participate in the battles on the Qinggeng Commandery battlefield, one should be able to exchange these elixirs for battle merits from the Geng Household..."
"What a coincidence! Whether you want to hone your cultivation or enhance your bloodline power, going to the Qinggeng Commandery battlefield is the most suitable choice!"
Kong Wenxuan's mind raced, his eyes brightening slightly; he had made his decision.
"I just don't know if, as the magistrate of Peacock County under Bifang Commandery Peacock County, I can leave Bifang Commandery directly to join the battle in Qinggeng Commandery?"
"Or is there some procedure or process involved?"
"It seems we still need to contact the prefectural government and consult them."
Kong Wenxuan's mind raced with thoughts.
However, before he could inquire with the county government about going to "Qinggeng Commandery" to participate in the war, he received a message from his uncle Kong Yushuo:
Traces of Demon Race and martial arts practitioners have been discovered in the "South Lake Mountains"!
More than four years ago, after Kong Wenxuan and his party returned from the Ya Household's "Promotion Celebration Banquet" in "Fire Crow County", they witnessed the appearance of the Demon Race in the wilderness between "Fire Crow County" and "Cuckoo Town".
After returning to Peacock County, they instructed their uncle Kong Yushuo, to lead the county government's military patrol team to intensify their patrols inside and outside the Peacock County. This included not only inspecting various locations within Peacock County but also dispatching several teams to regularly patrol the "South Lake Mountains" south of Peacock County, in order to guard against the possibility of defeated and scattered Demon Race and martial artists infiltrating Peacock County or the "South Lake Mountains" to launch attacks and cause trouble.
Now, more than four years have passed, and although Kong Wenxuan has received some news, some wandering Demon Race and martial arts groups have appeared in the vicinity of "Fire Crow County" and even "Bifang Commandery".
However, no trace of Demon Race or martial arts practitioners has ever appeared near "Peacock County" or even in the "South Lake Mountains" to the south.
Unexpectedly, these wandering Demon Race and martial arts groups have finally appeared in the "South Lake Mountains".
"In that case, I'll start with these wandering Demon Race and martial artists, using them as my whetstone."
"First, we will eliminate the Demon Race and martial artists who have fled to the ' South Lake Mountains,' and then proceed to the ' Qinggeng Commandery ' battlefield to join the fight."
Once Kong Wenxuan had made up his mind, he immediately went to the county government office, took out the "Magistrate's Official Seal," and sent a message to the prefectural government office, inquiring about going to the "Qinggeng Commandery" battlefield to participate in the war.
Then, he boarded a Third Tier "Wind Thunder Eagle Treasure Boat" purchased by the clan, flew away from Peacock County Seat, and headed to the "South Lake Mountains" to join his uncle Kong Yushuo and others in their hunting party.
The "Wind Thunder Eagle Treasure Boat" is one of several Third Tier treasure ships purchased by the Kong Household. It was crafted by the Bi Household, known as the "Bifang True Spirit," using the feathers and bones of Third Tier Wind and Thunder Eagle Demon Beast as materials. It was made specifically for sale and not only comes with various wind and thunder attribute defenses, attack formations, and restrictions, but its flight speed, enhanced by the power of wind and thunder, is also among the top in Third Tier "treasure ships."
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan piloted the Third Tier "Wind Thunder Eagle Treasure Boat" and met up with his uncle and others in the "South Lake Mountains" just four days later, where they saw the Demon Race, martial artists, and others who had wandered into the "South Lake Mountains".
"These Demon Race and martial artists were driven here from ' Fire Crow County '." In the past few days, Uncle Kong Yushuo and others have captured several Demon Race and martial artists and figured out their origins. He said, "In recent years, the Ya Household has been waging an expansion war in ' Fire Crow County.' These Demon Race and martial artists were defeated in the Ya Household's expansion war and fled here."
