Chapter 529: The mountain is in the ethereal void!

~7 min read 1,323 words

Because of the turmoil in the Minyue kingdom, the Qin army entered like an uninhabited land and easily destroyed the Minyue kingdom.

When the news of the destruction of the Minyue kingdom spread, it was an unacceptable thing for the Dongou and Nanyue kingdoms.

The land of Regarding Baiyue had many tribes, and many Yue tribes lived together in the forest. In the past, there were many countries, but with the passage of time, the countries established by many Yue tribes were successively extinguished. Now, only three most powerful countries remained.

Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou. Among them, the Nanyue kingdom was the most powerful, and Minyue and Dongou were slightly weaker. The king of the Nanyue kingdom was ambitious and had thought of annexing the Minyue kingdom and the Dongou kingdom, like the Central Plains, to establish a unified dynasty.

Although the Nanyue kingdom was the most pure indigenous Yue country and had nothing to do with the Yue kingdom of the past, it was close to the Central Plains and was influenced by the Central Plains, forming a unique political system.

The contemporary king of the Nanyue kingdom was an ambitious person.

It is a pity that although the Nanyue kingdom was stronger than the Minyue and Dongou kingdoms, it did not have the overwhelming advantage that the Qin State had over the six Shandong countries. It was not an easy thing for the King of Nanyue to annex Minyue and Dongou. More importantly, both countries were descendants of the Yue king of the past. Although they argued endlessly about who was the orthodox, they were of the same origin. If they were really forced into a corner, they would join forces.

This time, when the Qin State crusaded against Minyue, the King of Minyue, Zou Zou Wuzhu, actually sent people to contact the King of Dongou. The King of Dongou also promised to help Minyue. Of course, because it was impossible to help Minyue selflessly, the King of Dongou’s original idea was to wait until the Qin State and the Minyue kingdom were in a bitter battle and the national strength of the Minyue kingdom was weakened before helping.

If the two countries joined forces, they could even defeat Nanyue.

Although the Qin State was powerful, this was the territory of Regarding Baiyue after all. The Qin people were unfamiliar with the place and had no time or geographical advantage. Even if there were many people, in forest warfare, having more people could not solve any problems.

At that time, Dongou would help Minyue defeat the Qin army, resolve the crisis of Regarding Baiyue, and at the same time take the opportunity to annex the weakened Minyue kingdom and strengthen itself. It was truly killing two birds with one stone.

If Dongou annexed Minyue, its national strength could even surpass Nanyue. At that time, it would annex Nanyue, unify Regarding Baiyue, and use the land of Regarding Baiyue as a foundation, it might not be impossible to compete for the Central Plains.

After all, the Yue king King Goujian of the past had achieved such a thing.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Yue kingdom was defeated by the Chu kingdom during the period of the Yue king Wujiang, there would still be a place for the Yue kingdom in the Central Plains today.

It is a pity that neither the ambitious King of Dongou nor the King of Nanyue, who was sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight, expected one thing, that is, the Minyue kingdom would perish so quickly. A civil strife directly buried the entire Minyue kingdom.

When the Minyue kingdom was defeated and its territory was occupied by the Qin army, both the Nanyue kingdom and the Dongou kingdom felt great trouble. As the name suggests, Nanyue and Dongou, one was located in the south and one was located in the east, and Minyue happened to be sandwiched between them.

The destruction of the Minyue kingdom was equivalent to the Qin State finding a breakthrough. To the south, it could attack Nanyue, and to the east, it could march towards Dongou. Dongou and Nanyue could not even join forces.

Although they could still rely on the forest terrain to resist the Qin army.

But one must know one thing.

In the past, they could rely on the forest terrain to resist the Qin army because the Qin army was trying to march into Regarding Baiyue from the periphery. But now, the Qin army occupied the territory of the Minyue kingdom and was already in the forest. And they could destroy Minyue, proving that the forest terrain could not completely block the Qin State’s march.

The fact was also so.

After occupying the territory of the Minyue kingdom, Li Xin stationed all his troops in the Minyue kingdom, and then took the Minyue kingdom as a starting point to march towards the Dongou kingdom.

The reason for attacking Dongou first was naturally because Dongou was the weakest, and Dongou was also a descendant of the Yue king. In Li Xin’s mind, although the Nanyue kingdom was the strongest, Nanyue was just a barbarian, so it was better to leave it for last.

On the sea, time lost (aiee) any meaning here.

After all, no matter day or night, all one could see was the vast ocean.

At the beginning of the journey, some people were full of interest in the scenery on the sea, but when the journey lasted for days, or even months, everyone’s interest was completely worn out.

For everyone now, only when they encountered another island, another immortal mountain, like seeing Mount Mount Liupo earlier, would they become interested.

On this day, fog appeared on the sea surface again.

On the sea, fog occasionally appearing was not a strange thing. Earlier, when the Mirage was sailing on the East Sea, it had encountered a thick fog, but that was the normal sea. After arriving in this sea area, it was dead silent. In the sky, there were not even flying birds, and in the water, there were no swimming fish. If it weren’t for the abundant supplies on the Mirage and everyone having prepared enough food before coming, I am afraid there would be nothing to eat.

Such a dead silent sea, except for the Mount Mount Liupo encountered earlier, naturally would not have fog.

But now, fog appeared.

The Mohists driving the Mirage discovered these fogs for the first time.

This attracted everyone’s attention.

However, because nothing else had appeared yet, everyone just raised a little vigilance.

Continuing forward, the fog became more and more intense.

Such thick fog made everyone think of the fog they encountered that day.

It was precisely in the fog that Su Xuan activated the Fusang Divine Tree, triggered the power of the stars of heaven and earth, awakened the power in the seven boxes, and subsequently summoned the Ying Dragon, so they entered this strange sea area.

Now, another fog appeared, which made people think carefully.

Fortunately, this fog was not like the fog that day, where nothing could be seen.

People on the Mirage could still barely see some scenery in the distance.

On this day, the Mohist disciples on the deck exclaimed.

"Everyone, look, what is that?"

Others looked over one after another, only to see a huge shadow appearing in the fog in the distance.

It looked like an island, like a mountain floating in the sea.

Earlier, on the sea, everyone had also encountered a mountain. They thought it was Penglai Immortal Mountain, but it turned out not to be Penglai, but another immortal mountain, Mount Mount Liupo.

At this moment, another mountain appeared, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Could this be Penglai Immortal Mountain?

The fog was thick, and everyone could not see the true appearance of the mountain.

The mountain is in the ethereal void!
