Huang Yanchen furrowed his brow, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. "It's not that there hasn't been any divine blessing," he said. "I reckon it's because the scale of Cloud Martial County's national sacrifice is too small, and we haven't gained the recognition of the gods yet."

  "The sacrificial scale of the Qian Shui Prefecture is a hundred times that of Yun Wu Prefecture, with tens of millions of cattle and sheep as offerings, and hundreds of thousands of barbarians, the blood energy released can cover an area of thousands of miles."

  "The worship of Yunwu County's national sacrifice is already remarkable if it can summon the divine spirit, let alone receive its blessings."

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Since there is no divine blessing, then even if we miss the divine revelation, what's the big deal?"

  "You" Huang Yanchen said.

  How sacred a thing it is for gods to manifest their divinity, yet he doesn't take it seriously at all. The yellow dust and smoke are not light, and I don't want to continue discussing this with him.

  Huang Yanchen glanced at Zhang Ruochen with a light and airy expression, saying: "You've been in seclusion cultivating recently, so you probably don't know much about what's been going on."

  "What else happened in the royal city during my closed-door period?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

  Huang Yanchen's expression was somewhat proud, saying: "The Wushu Academy sent six silver-robed elders to rush to Yunwu Prefecture, and joined forces with the Cloud Platform Sect. They have already destroyed the headquarters of the Black Market, killing more than 5,000 evil martial artists and capturing over 3,000. This has dealt a heavy blow to the Black Market. Except for the Netherworld Gate and the Poisonous Spider Merchant Association, almost all other forces of the Black Market have been annihilated."

  Zhang Ruochen was shocked. The Wushang Academy had actually dispatched six silver-robed elders, who were indeed six powerful warriors at the Tianji boundary. It seemed that they had been truly enraged.

  "What about the Moon Demon Sect?"

  Huang Yanchen said, "Except for the headquarters of the Moon Worshiping Sect, all its branches in Yunwu County have been almost completely eradicated. Without those branches, the Moon Worshiping Sect has lost its absolute control over Yunwu County and it will take decades to recover."

  "This revenge against the Black Market and the Bai Yue Demon Sect is finally over, but unfortunately, let Du Xian and Hua Ming Gong escape. If I catch them, I will definitely chop them into pieces."

  Huang Yanchen's five fingers were claw-shaped, with long fingernails exposed, extremely resentful of the poisonous spider merchant association.

  After a while, Huang Yanzhen put out the anger in his heart and said: "I will return to Tianmo Wucheng tomorrow, what about you?"

  Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "I should still stay in Wang City for a while, I will only return after a month."

  Wudao boundary has just broken through, Zhang Ruochen does not plan to return to Wumeng Academy immediately, preparing to consolidate his own boundary in Wang City, and take some time to accompany his family.

  This time after leaving, there won't be many chances to come back again.

  "Alright, this time I've killed a lot of evil Dao warriors. When I return to Tianmo Martial City, I can exchange them for a large amount of merit points. With these merit points, I can exchange for more cultivation resources. I also need to quickly raise my realm."

  The next day, the students of Wushu Academy and the disciples of Yuntai Sect began to leave Yunwu County one after another.

  Although Zhang Ruochen missed this war and lost the opportunity to earn merit points, he didn't have any regrets. At least his cultivation broke through to the Minor Extreme Realm, which is the most exciting thing.

  After having breakfast with Lin Fei, Zhang Ruochen had just walked out of the palace when he saw Zhang Tiankuai walking towards him.

  When he saw Zhang Ruochen, a smile appeared on Zhang Tianguang's face, and he called out voluntarily: "Ninth brother, what a coincidence, I was just about to find you."

  "What do you want from me?" Zhang Ruochen said.

  Zhang Tianguai said: "To be exact, it's not me who is looking for you, but the king wants to see you. Let's go to the Xiaqi Hall."

  Zhang Ruochen stared deeply at Zhang Tiangu, although he felt that Zhang Tiangu's smile was very fake. However, in the palace, Zhang Ruochen did not believe that he could still make any tricks, so he followed him to the Xiaqi Hall.

  The King of Yunwu County sat above the Xiangqi Hall, wearing a golden long gown, with piercing eyes and a strong aura, surrounded by the dragon and tiger energy, his martial arts cultivation seemed to have improved again.

  "Long live the great king"

  The people below all bowed to Yun Wu Junwang.

  Yunwu County King nodded and said, "The Black Market and the Baiyue Demon Sect have been defeated, but there are still many remaining evil Dao warriors fleeing outside. For the stability of Yunwu County, these evil Dao warriors must be cleared out to avoid leaving behind future troubles. Last night, the Seventh Prince investigated one of the evil Dao warriors hiding in Qinghe Fortress, three hundred miles away from the Imperial City."

  "This evil sect's forces are quite vast, with even a few top-notch experts at the Earth Extreme Boundary Great Perfection level. I have decided that the Seventh Prince and General Chi Han will lead an army of 10,000, equipped with 3,000 crossbows, to go and annihilate the evil sect's warriors in Qinghe Fortress. Does anyone have any objections?"

  General Chi Gan knelt on one knee and said, "Your subordinate obeys."

  Zhang Tianguang walked out, bowed to the Cloud Martial Prince and said: "Your Majesty, I have just received a message from a fellow disciple of the Cloud Platform Sect, which revealed the whereabouts of Hua Minggong, the head of the Poisonous Spider Merchant Association in Cloud Martial State. Hua Minggong is a master of the Heavenly Boundary realm, and only I can deal with him personally. As for Qinghe Fortress, I would like to recommend that my ninth brother and General Chi Han lead the expedition to conquer it."

  Yunwu County King nodded thoughtfully and said, "Hua Ming Gong is a martial arts legend of the Tianji Realm. It's said that he was injured by the Silver Robed Elder of the Wushi Academy, making this the perfect opportunity to kill him. If we let him go, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. With your power alone, you might not be able to kill him. How about this: let Wang Cheng follow you and join forces with you two, that way you'll have a better grasp on things."

  The martial arts myth of Tianji Realm, each one is a person who has cultivated to the point of being able to communicate with heaven, and they have many life-saving methods, so it's very hard for them to be killed.

  To kill a warrior at the Tianji boundary, it takes at least three warriors at the Tianji boundary to join forces. Alternatively, one Tianji boundary warrior must be more than ten times stronger than another Tianji boundary warrior in order to kill their opponent.

  The King of Unmun County sent Jang Cheon-gwang and Manseong to counterattack against Hwangnamgong, which was a thorough consideration.

  The gaze of Yunwu County King was fixed on Zhang Ruochen, saying: "Jiuer, are you willing to follow General Chi Han to conquer Qinghe Fortress?"

  Zhang Ruochen always felt that something was off about this matter, how could it be so coincidental? Zhang Tianguang had just learned last night that a dark martial artist was lurking in Qinghe Fort, and today he received news from Huaming Gong, it seemed as if everything had been arranged in advance.

  Zhang Tianguai seemed to have already prepared for Zhang Ruochen and Chi Han General to go to Qinghebao, now everything he said was just a formality.

  Zhang Tianguang smiled and said, "Ninth brother, Qinghe Fort is just a group of mobs, the strongest one is only a demonic martial artist who has reached the extreme realm of Dacheng, you won't be afraid, will you? Don't worry, even if you encounter any danger, there's still General Chi Han, he can protect your safety."

  General Chi Gan was a majestic figure, with a sturdy back and waist, and a full beard. He had reached the ultimate realm of cultivation, the Great Perfection of the Earthly Extreme. He was one of the top ten experts in the Cloud Martial City's military, known for his exceptional bravery.

  He patted his chest and said in a rough voice, "Don't worry, Ninth Prince. After we head to Qinghe Fort, you just need to stay at the back and press the enemy's formation. I will definitely flatten Qinghe Fort. At that time, all the credit for killing the evil Dao warriors can be recorded under your name, Ninth Prince. You can take this achievement back to Wushang Academy and exchange it for a large amount of merit points."

  In General Chi's view, Zhang Ruochen was only in his early teens and had probably never seen a major battlefield before. Even if he was afraid in his heart, it was completely normal.

  But who made others princes?

  Even if Qinghe Fort is taken down, it will still be the credit of the Ninth Prince.

  General Chi Gan's heart was clear, besieging Qinghe Fort, that Ninth Prince was unreliable, and he could only rely on himself. That Ninth Prince just stood by and took credit.

  The Ninth Prince is still too young after all, and can't be compared to the Seventh Prince. Others say that the Seventh Prince has already gone alone to kill the Martial Arts Legend of Tianji Border, truly worthy of being the pride of Yunwu Prefecture, the number one heavenly proud son of the thirty-six prefectures of Tianmo Ridge.

  Zhang Ruochen felt that something was off, but he wasn't afraid at all. With his current strength, even if he were to face an ordinary Tianji Realm martial arts master, he would still have the power to fight back.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled: "In that case, I'll go with General Chi Han to Qinghe Fort."

  When Zhang Ruochen agreed, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Tiangu's mouth that was imperceptible to others.

  Zhang Ruochen and General Chi Han rode out of the palace on two ferocious beasts, hurrying to the military camp outside the city.

  Half an hour later, General Chi Han integrated 10,000 cavalrymen and rushed towards Qinghe Fort.

  General Red Sweat rode a seven-meter-high red tiger, wearing thick battle armor, mighty and powerful, with an eight-hundred-pound black wolf-toothed club in his right hand, walking at the forefront of the army to open the way.

  Zhang Ruochen sat inside a luxurious carriage, driving in the center of the army, being protected tightly.

  In the carriage, Zhang Ruochen sat on a soft sable cushion with a stove beside him, looking very comfortable.

  "This General Chi Yan seems to think I'm a genius prince, and that I went to Qinghe Fort to steal credit." Zhang Ruo Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

  General Akajin's understanding was indeed wrong, in his view, with his own strength alone, he could eliminate the evil Taoist warriors of Qinghe Fort. The King of Yunwu County sent him the Ninth Prince, obviously to let the Ninth Prince harvest the merits, and with this merit, he could exchange for merit points when he returned to the Wushu Academy.

  His mission was not only to attack Qinghe Fort but also to protect the safety of the Ninth Prince.

  So he treated Zhang Ruochen with the treatment of a young master, protecting him tightly, for fear that this Ninth Prince would be injured by evil martial artists.

  Qinghe Fortress is only three hundred miles away from Wang City. At the speed of cavalry, it would take only one hour to arrive and surround the entire castle.

  Qinghebao is a medium-sized castle, covering an area of 240 mu, with walls as high as ten zhang.

  At the same time, Qinghebao is also a stronghold of the Poisonous Spider Merchant Association.

  The goods of the Poison Spider Guild are mostly transported from all over the country to Qinghebao first, and then from Qinghebao to the underground black market in Wangcheng for trading.

  Duozhu Shaizhu and Hua Ming Gong escaped from the Wang City and immediately rushed to Qinghebao, preparing to transfer the goods stored in Qinghebao and then withdraw.

  However, before they could withdraw, the great army of Yunwu Prefecture had already surrounded Qinghe Fortress.

  Zhang Tianguai naturally knew that the Poison Spider Young Master and Hua Ming Gong were in Qinghe Fort, so he let Zhang Ruochen come to besiege Qinghe Fort, it was actually planning to borrow the hands of the Poison Spider Young Master and Hua Ming Gong to kill Zhang Ruochen.
