An Yu's words made the sixteen black-armored guards smile knowingly.
The leading guard captain saluted An Yu and began to report the news.
"Lord Qi, we have completed the tasks you assigned two months ago.
Today, more than 300 tribal leaders and city lords in the five major regions have been controlled by us using the soul-killing secret method.
These guys are absolutely loyal to us, like puppets.
As long as we give the order, even if we let them assassinate the ancestor demon god, they will never hesitate!"
"Very good!" An Yu nodded to express satisfaction, and then asked: "What about the cannon fodder I need?"
The guard captain reported again: "Sir, the vanguard army has been prepared and is on standby outside Baiyuan City.
We selected hundreds or thousands of strong demon warriors from each tribe and city.
In total, there are more than 300,000 demons forming this vanguard army.
Although their strength is very weak, it is not a big problem to deal with the defenders of the seventy-two cities."
An Yu nodded again, showing a pleased smile: "Well, that's great!
The more than 300,000 demons are just cannon fodder. If they can successfully capture the seventy-two cities, they will not be afraid even if they all die.
In addition, notify others to speed up the progress of plundering resources!
Although we currently occupy the five southern regions, the demons will regain them in at most one year.
Before that, we must plunder as many resources as possible.
Not only to allow everyone to quickly improve their strength, but also to refine more fighting spirits!"
The guard captain nodded to express his understanding and said in a solemn tone: "I understand that even if we recruit demon warriors, they are just useless cannon fodder and cannot achieve anything major.
To truly strengthen your power and improve your combat capabilities, you still need a fighting spirit.
However, each war soul puppet consumes a lot of resources and takes at least several months to refine.
The resources in the five southern regions are somewhat poor, and there are even fewer resources for our clan to use.
As of now, we have only made three war soul puppets, and they cannot be put into use yet.
But please rest assured, sir, my subordinates will speed up their progress."
An Yu nodded and said: "Each war soul puppet has the power of a tribulation expert and has powerful lethality on the battlefield.
If you can refine two hundred fighting spirits for me within half a year, I will be able to expand my territory and become invincible!
Since the resources in Beiming Mountain are poor, let’s seize other territories as soon as possible!”
After saying that, An Yu stood up, waved his hand, and ordered: "The captain of the guard will stay in charge of affairs, and the others will go out with me!"
More than a dozen black-armored guards bowed down to take orders.
An Yu flicked his dark red cloak, strode out of the meeting hall, and boarded the black battleship.
…
In the evening, the sun is about to set.
The dim sunset shines on the top of Tianzhu Mountain, making the palace complex even more magnificent.
At this time, a dazzling fire flew from the northern sky and approached extremely quickly.
"Whoa!"
Soon, the golden and red fire flew over the dojo of Tianzhu Mountain and stopped.
Only after the firelight subsided could we see clearly that it was a mighty glazed fire dragon.
On the back of the broad dragon, stood side by side a young man and woman, both wearing white robes and white skirts.
This pair of dusty men and women are none other than Ji Tianxing and Yunyao.
Yunyao put away the glazed fire dragon, walked through the sky with Ji Tianxing, and landed in the dojo.
A group of guards patrolling the dojo saw Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao and bowed quickly.
Ji Tianxing nodded to the guards and rushed to Tianzhu Palace with Yun Yao.
He knew without asking that Taoist Huanglong must be in Tianzhu Palace.
After all, before he retreated in the divine tower, he sent a message to Taoist Huanglong and issued an order.
He believed that as long as there were no big surprises, Taoist Huanglong would definitely obey his orders.
A quarter of an hour later.
Facts have proved that Ji Tianxing's judgment was completely correct.
He and Yun Yao returned to the room where they lived. As soon as they sat down to rest for a while, the guard's announcement sounded outside the door.
"Young Master, the Great Immortal Huanglong is asking for an audience."
Ji Tianxing showed a smile and told the guard outside the door: "Invite him in."
Then, Taoist Huanglong, who was wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe and holding a floating ball in his hand, quickly stepped into the room.
"Disciple, please see Master and Master!"
Huang Long walked to and stood in front of the two of them, bowing with joy on his face.
Although, Ji Tianxing had already sent him a summons, saying that he was safe and sound.
But in the past two months, Huang Long couldn't help but worry, thinking about when his master would return all day long.
Now, Master and his wife have finally returned safely.
Ji Tianxing waved his hand, signaling Taoist Huanglong to stand up, and asked: "Huanglong, during the two months since Master was away, have any changes or things happened in Tianzhu Mountain?"
Taoist Huang Long shook his head quickly and reported: "Master, at first I was full of worries. It was not until I received your message that the stone in my heart dropped.
In the past two months, this disciple has been abiding by your orders, guarding Tianzhu Mountain firmly, and handling everything carefully.
Fortunately, there were no accidents or changes during this period."
Ji Tianxing showed a pleased expression and warned: "That's very good. In the future, my teacher may not be in Tianzhu Mountain for a long time. You must protect our foundation as before."
"Disciple, I obey!" Taoist Huanglong quickly bowed his hands and saluted.
Then, he asked with some confusion: "Master, you and your wife just came back, are you leaving again?"
Ji Tianxing thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I have nothing to do recently, so I will stay in Tianzhu Mountain and won't go out again."
In fact, he and Yun Yao had just finished seclusion, and their strength had been greatly improved.
The next thing to do is to rest and adjust your breathing and consolidate the foundation of martial arts.
If you have the opportunity, you should also participate in more actual combat to make the foundation more solid.
Taoist Huang Long breathed a sigh of relief and said expectantly: "In that case, Master and Master should rest first.
After you have rested and adjusted your breath, I will take you to the Spiritual Medicine Garden and the Spiritual Beast Garden to see the results of the transformation over the past year.
There are also many resource treasures and mineral veins in our sect. If Master is interested, you can go and have a look and see where there is still room for improvement..."
Ji Tianxing thought to himself that he had nothing to do anyway, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's rest for two days and then go on inspection the day after tomorrow."
After the Taoist Huanglong saluted, he bowed and said goodbye.
Ji Tianxing and Yunyao stopped talking and went to meditate and adjust their breath.
One day and one night passed quickly.
On the morning of the third day, Ji Tianxing and Yunyao finished their rest.
Both of them changed into exquisite clothes and looked very energetic.
The two of them were waiting in the room. Today they were going to visit the Spiritual Medicine Garden and the Spiritual Beast Garden with Taoist Huanglong.
However, the guard's announcement suddenly came from outside the door.
