Chapter 372: Response

~7 min read 1,361 words

"The Leader has no instructions for now."

Yue Shen shook her head; she knew what Lord Yunzhong was thinking. "I don't know how many people have been arranged around this person. The Emperor attaches great importance to this person, so he cannot be moved now."

"In order to move him, the Divine Court paid the price of one Three Flowers and three Five Qi Morning Origin powers."

Yue Shen spoke very seriously. Such power, unless it was their Yin-Yang School unsealing all the seals, perhaps they could reach such power; otherwise, they could only honestly watch from the sidelines.

And even if it was their Yin-Yang School's full strength, they would have no chance of winning against Great Qin.

"The Leader's goal is still the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon."

"The Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon..."

Lord Yunzhong's face was serious. This thing was really not so easy to obtain. Even now, with them using Great Qin's strength, plus the Leader's secret contention, they had only gathered three pieces.

There were four other pieces; only by gathering all of these together could the true secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon be unlocked.

Mentioning the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, Xing Hun also returned to his original demeanor.

"Is the one from the Mohist school still in their hands?"

Xing Hun suddenly said.

"Correct! Then let's take action against the Mohist school," Xing Hun's face suddenly showed some murderous intent. "Last time, with Yan Dan there, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice his own life for the Mohist school to break out. This time, let's see who else can save them."

"Lord Xing Hun, do you know the hiding place of these people? Ever since they fled to this Sanghai Cheng, they have disappeared."

"Hmph! No matter how tightly they hide, they cannot escape my palm," Xing Hun clenched his five fingers tightly and said confidently: "Leave this matter to me."

"Does Lord Xing Hun want to go alone? Although the Mohist people are not worth mentioning, Gai Nie, as far as I know, is still following them."

Yue Shen looked at Xing Hun and reminded him.

"The Leader does not hope for Lord Xing Hun to unseal his seal at that time."

"Hmph! Don't bother Lady Yue Shen. To deal with this group of people, I don't need to unseal my seal, not even Gai Nie."

Although he was a little wary of Gai Nie's strength, it was only wariness. To make him retreat was impossible.

"In that case, we will wait for Lord Xing Hun's good news."

Yue Shen heard this and didn't continue to dwell on it. After all, Xing Hun's strength was not weaker than hers. Although Gai Nie was strong, he might not necessarily be Xing Hun's opponent.

Even if they besieged him together, Xing Hun wanting to escape would still be no problem, and there would be no danger.

"Hmph!"

With a proud cold snort, Xing Hun got up and left directly.

"Lady Yue Shen, I still have a furnace of pills to refine, so I will take my leave first."

"Hmm!"

The banquet lasted until late at night before slowly ending.

Su Fan followed Wang Zhan back to the army's camp.

Although Sanghai Cheng belonged to Great Qin, who knew how many people were hidden inside? Su Fan would not hand over his own life to others.

As for these officials in Sanghai Cheng, he trusted them even less.

Although some were from the old Qin people, human hearts would change. Perhaps they would not betray Great Qin, but for the sake of profit, they would dare to sell him out.

So in the city, he naturally wouldn't feel safe. The key was that he didn't know if Bai Qi and the others had already left.

After all, they had already wiped out a wave of Divine Court experts and obtained the divine core. Logically speaking, they should have already left.

If they had left, then he could only rely on the army by his side. His own strength, facing a swordsman like Gai Nie at the peak of Profound Mastery, was still very dangerous.

Therefore, he hid in the military camp; as long as he didn't encounter anyone above Profound Mastery, there wouldn't be any crisis.

"It seems you are quite popular here in Donghai Sanghai Cheng."

Wang Zhan walked alongside Su Fan and joked.

"Popular?"

"Hehe! Do you think they would welcome me?"

Su Fan sneered. Although at the banquet, everyone was enthusiastic and flattering him, Su Fan could feel the actual situation.

Most people didn't welcome him at all.

While the Agriculture Office promoted agricultural technology, it would also carry out some reforms to agriculture, and these would touch upon the interests of local gentry.

Don't look at these local clans; they were small fry to Great Qin, but their influence in the local area was still very large.

Su Fan's arrival would damage part of their interests. It would be strange if they didn't suspect him.

They even hated him to the point of wanting him to die.

Su Fan was very clear about this point, and it was for this reason that he was unwilling to stay in Sanghai Cheng.

"Do you think those people would dare to take action against you?" Wang Zhan heard Su Fan's words, and the smile on his face faded.

"Whether they will take action or not, I don't know. But in the next period of time, the surroundings of Sanghai Cheng will inevitably be chaotic."

"After all, my arrival will move their cheese; they will definitely not be so willing."

"Hmph! The policies the Emperor wants to implement—if they dare to stop them, they are truly courting death."

Wang Zhan heard this, and murderous intent flashed across his face.

"Of course they wouldn't dare to stop them openly; after all, that's against the law, and they can't stop it. But they can secretly obstruct the progress, or use other methods to drive me away."

"They dare?"

"Why wouldn't they dare?"

"People die for wealth, and birds die for food. If they have the strength, they will definitely dare to kill me."

Su Fan was very calm. Before he came, he already knew he would face this situation.

He didn't care, because he possessed the great trend. In the face of the great trend, no one could stop him.

After all, he was now Ying Zheng's imperial envoy. Not to mention holding the Shangfang Sword, as long as he had tens of thousands of troops, if the other party really dared to stop him, he could directly send the army to suppress them.

He even hoped that the other party would incite the people at the bottom to cause chaos, which would give him a reason; he could just kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

"In the next few days, Wang Zhan, I want you to send some clever people to the villages around Sanghai Cheng to investigate."

This was not the territory of the old Qin people. Although the government issued documents, in the territory of the old Qin people, these policies could be passed down to the villages.

But the former Six States were different. Because of the problem of manpower, many county and village officials were gentry from various countries.

They would inevitably stop it.

Otherwise, his Agriculture Office would not have had so many people reporting.

Especially in this land of Qi and Lu, the power of obstruction was the strongest. This was also why his first stop was Sanghai Cheng in Donghai.

One was that he was more familiar with this place, and the second was that he wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, using Donghai Commandery as a knife to let other places know Great Qin's determination.

"Clever people, rest assured, I guarantee I will give you the best."

Wang Zhan heard this and nodded immediately.

"At the same time, you must also be ready at any time to prevent them from jumping over the wall like a dog."

Su Fan also made preparations in advance. ===== CHAPTER 373 =====
