Capítulo 869: Chapter 521: Go to Work!

“Alas, this is war… A thousand disciples of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect have perished just like that.”

“In recent years, the Danai Empire has fought against the Demon Clan, and although it hasn’t always gone smoothly, we’ve never seen casualties on this scale.”

“These were elite seeds… what a pity.”

“The threat from the Devouring Spirit Clan… is even more severe than Demon Wind. If the Fierce Sun Dynasty can’t hold the border and these ghastly things infest them… blending into the populace, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“We must eradicate them! Otherwise, we won’t be able to sleep well at night.”

Even the likes of Yang Fu, Yang Feng, and Elder Yun, cultivators of top Golden Core strength, can’t see through the disguises of these high-level Devouring Spirit Clan, let alone anyone else.

“I can’t partake in cultivation for a while; I need to keep a close eye…”

“But I can’t see everywhere, we need the Fierce Sun Dynasty to establish a kind of checkpoint on the border, as Elder Yun mentioned, where anyone coming from the Silver Land Dynasty must pass through…”

“At present, the strength of the Fierce Sun Dynasty isn’t strong enough. The Devouring Spirit Clan has absorbed much power from the Silver Land Dynasty, and their numbers are enormous. A random ambush would be in the hundreds of thousands. If they were to launch a strong attack, they would surely be overwhelmed.”

“It looks like, for the time being, the second and third battalions of the Sky Dragon Army won’t be able to leave…”

This is not just a matter for the Fierce Sun Dynasty, but also for the Danai Empire. They need this buffer zone to deal with any possible situation.

After a bit of thought, Yang Genshuo made a decision.

“We need to sell laser swords to the Fierce Sun Dynasty, so they can also train their laser soldiers to defend the border.”

Yang Genshuo explained the strategy to Yang Qiangjing.

“Ancestor, I was thinking the same. After all, they’ll eventually be merged into our Danai Empire.”

Yang Genshuo: “Ah?”

Upon hearing the ancestor’s question, Yang Qiangjing explained: “The Fierce Sun Dynasty has many Fire Cultivation practitioners. They’re naturally a source of laser soldiers, and training their Fire Element cultivators will yield a future upper limit far beyond that of mortal martial masters.”

“The brothers Fan Tian and Fan Di lack ambition; they don’t seek merit but only wish not to err, their minds are outdated. Letting such pests lead will only waste the Fierce Sun Dynasty’s advantageous geography and Immortal resources. They should become Supreme Elders…”

“This is a perfect opportunity for us to train a local force within the Fierce Sun Dynasty… When Brother Feng takes over the Feng Family, we’ll turn back and incorporate the Fierce Sun Dynasty into our territory.”

Yang Qiangjing stood atop the walls of the Danai Empire, her eyes encompassed a broader world.

“You… are quite interesting.”

Yang Genshuo grinned, finding Yang Qiangjing’s idea quite alluring.

“But I think even when Yang Feng takes over the Feng Family… Even if Feng Yi sincerely wants to pass it to him, it won’t be smooth sailing. Perhaps Feng Yi still contemplates defecting Yang Feng.”

“I believe in Yang Feng.”

Yang Qiangjing stated calmly.

“Oh? So determined? I recall you didn’t like Yang Feng much before?”

“The past is the past, now is now. Yang Feng has proven to me… he doesn’t have the mind to be a spy.”

Yang Genshuo: “….”

Just now, he truly thought Yang Feng’s actions had moved Yang Qiangjing, but it turned out it was because she looked down on his intelligence.

“Xiao Jing, that’s a bit harsh. I think Yang Feng is still quite confident and genuine.”

“Indeed, emotions written on his face, concerns spoken on his lips, foolishness hidden in confidence, loud in insult, quick in vengeance, reports to his wife while flirting…”

Pausing briefly, Yang Qiangjing sighed slightly: “If everyone were as simple as Yang Feng, it would be better.”

Yang Genshuo smiled slightly.

“I can tell, you do quite like Yang Feng.”

“Yes, he is quite good, Ancestor… Can you see people’s personalities? Why did you decide to cultivate Yang Feng from the start? Did you foresee his loyalty to the Yang Family today?”

“Isn’t it possible… it’s everyone’s love that shaped the Yang Feng of today? Just like what you’ve always been doing.”

Yang Genshuo hinted with meaning.

Yang Qiangjing turned her face slightly, stubbornly saying: “I’m just used to living with my brother and don’t find it bothersome at all…”

“Ancestor, you go ahead and get busy. I’m preparing for Yang Feng to take over the Feng Family…”

Yang Qiangjing swiftly ended the conversation, afraid the ancestor might say something awkward.

She disliked pretentiousness the most.

Born into the same family, why speak as if from two houses?

When the family faces hardship, she resolves hardship; when the family prospers, she enjoys prosperity; when the family needs her to stand up, she gives the family a future at the top.

Once the ancestor’s voice no longer echoed in her ears, Yang Qiangjing thought to herself:

“Love… has its weights, and if it’s for an important love, sacrificing a little less significant love is necessary.”

She put on her monocle, her smile fading as she walked towards the Heavenly Workshop, returning to her identity as the Minister of Heavenly Craft.

…

Yang Fu and others, along with Elder Yun, continued their journey on the Treasure Ship, searching for the remaining 2000 disciples in the Silver Land Dynasty.

From killing the Devouring Spirit Clan upon encountering them to later quickly bypassing them, everyone had become numb.

There were too many…

Impossible to kill them all, absolutely impossible.

They first needed to locate the disciples of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect before planning to eliminate the Devouring Spirit Clan.

Thankfully, Yang Feng, Yang Qiangwei, Elder Yun, Yang Fu, and Yang Fujian were all Golden Core stage experts; even if they couldn’t defeat a group of high-rank Devouring Spirit Clan, they could still escape. Their journey had been startling but without real danger.

Along the way, they witnessed the power of the Devouring Spirit Clan. Yang Fujian and Yang Changsheng, together with the others, drew a strategic map, marking the locations of the Devouring Spirit Clan, preparing for future clean-up operations.
