Chapter 195: Layout of the Scorched Earth Region

Because of the appearance of the colorful cloud phenomenon, the elegant text *Journey to the West* had already ignited a topic of conversation in the capital before it had even been serialized in the *Great Zhou Literary Report*.

Everyone was looking forward to the serialization of *Journey to the West*.

In any case, they were blowing *Journey to the West* out of proportion, and the evaluation of Lv Fang had also reached the extreme.

Everyone said that this youngest Marquis of Wenguan had a limitless future, and perhaps he could break the possibility that no one had entered the Sage Realm for a thousand years, and might even be the youngest person to become a Sage.

Marquis of Wenguan's Mansion.

Lv Fang, having sent away wave after wave of visitors, lay on his desk, feeling somewhat annoyed. He took a deep breath, picked up the brush on the side, and began to write the story of *Journey to the West* on paper.

It was just as difficult to write as it had been yesterday; from yesterday until now, he had only written a meager dozen characters.

This time, *Journey to the West* was not as simple to write as the previous ones.

Every time he wrote a character, Lv Fang felt as if he had exhausted all his strength. He learned from the Realm Spirit of the Ink Brush Realm that the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao had placed limits on both him and it.

This was the reason why it was so incredibly difficult for him to write every single character.

Truly, blessings and misfortunes are intertwined!

When he obtained the book *Journey to the West*, Lv Fang had been so happy he could almost fly, but he hadn't expected it to turn into this situation.

If it continued like this, he was afraid it would take him a long time to finish writing *Journey to the West* and obtain the reward for finishing it.

However, Lv Fang had also thought a lot. Even if it were difficult, he had to write *Journey to the West* out bit by bit. Perhaps if someone saw some of the story content in the beginning, it was possible for them to comprehend the extraordinary power within the book.

Any extraordinary power would be enough to greatly increase his strength.

Scorched Earth Region.

The sky, like an aurora, made people feel as if they were in a dream.

Two figures appeared; it was exactly Lv Fang and Lin Chong. Since he couldn't finish writing *Journey to the West* for a while, after thinking for a long time, he finally chose to make a trip to the depths of the Scorched Earth Region.

It wasn't that he absolutely had to go find the aura of Punishment; his main goal was to first drip blood on all 108 character clay figurines.

Where would it be best to establish his own force?

Lv Fang thought for a long time and felt that this Scorched Earth Region, where no one cared, was the best place. He would find a place here and become the king of the mountain.

As long as he didn't do anything too outrageous, the largest force, the Luo Sha Kingdom, wouldn't care. There were many forces distributed here, so adding one more wouldn't be too conspicuous.

Moreover, in such a place, Lv Fang could absorb manpower even faster. He didn't even need to show his face; with 108 Sixth Rank, Third Stage existences, each with extraordinary powers, if he still couldn't stand his ground, then there was nothing he could do.

Thinking of this, Lv Fang began to drip blood on the character clay figurines and inject Book Fragrance Qi. For the sake of safety, he still cast the extraordinary power 'Deceive the Heavens'.

He spent the entire day just injecting Book Fragrance Qi.

At this moment, there were a full 108 characters standing in front of him. Just as he thought, each one had extraordinary powers, and their abilities were all different.

The Demon Heart laughed loudly: "Too good! With such a large force, you can also occupy a place in the depths of this Scorched Earth Region. Aren't you in contact with Shen Kangbo of Great Zhou? Have him give you a batch of supplies, and in just a few years, you can have an army that belongs to you."

Lv Fang sneered in his heart. He scanned the 108 heroes before him and said: "Lin Chong will be the leader here, and 'Wise Star' Wu Yong will be the military advisor. You are to establish your own force in this place."

"During this period, safety is the priority."

"Also, establish an intelligence network here. Investigate all the large and small forces in the vicinity clearly for me."

"You can recruit subordinates at your own discretion. Remember, all of this must be done in secret; you must not be too outrageous."

Lin Chong and Wu Yong stepped forward, bowed, and said: "As you command, my Lord."

Lv Fang nodded slightly, took out several storage bags, and threw them to Lin Chong, saying: "Inside are some materials, crystals, and Myriad Dao Stones. There aren't many things, but you should be able to use them for now."

"There are also many sound-transmission talismans inside. If there is anything you are unsure about, you can contact me using the sound-transmission talismans."

"If I am not in the depths of the Scorched Earth Region, you can make your own decisions."

"I have only one order: everything is based on development. Try not to take unnecessary risks. Can you two do that?"

Lin Chong and Wu Yong looked at each other and nodded in unison.

In their view, Lv Fang's order was everything; they only needed to complete it, and nothing else was required.

Seeing this scene, Lv Fang was actually stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly; he had thought Lin Chong and Wu Yong would complain about difficulties or something similar.

Now it seemed that his words were even more effective than he had imagined.

Actually, this was for the best. He believed that with the strength and brains of these 108 martial generals, developing a force here shouldn't be a problem.

After all, this Scorched Earth Region was full of uncontrollable factors everywhere.

If they encountered danger, their strength should be sufficient to handle it.

As long as they didn't provoke existences they shouldn't, no one would look for trouble or come to find fault with them.

Lv Fang nodded with satisfaction, took the Hard Stone out of the storage bag, threw it to Lin Chong, and said: "This is a type of stone found underground in the Scorched Earth Region. You can also pay attention to it everywhere. As long as you encounter it, help me keep it."

Lin Chong nodded and said: "As you command, my Lord."

Wu Yong on the side bowed and said: "My Lord, rest assured. Later, I will discuss with Commander Lin to form a team specifically to search for such stones."

Lv Fang couldn't help it. Although Lin Chong and Wu Yong didn't ask, he still had to remind them:

"Don't be in a hurry about searching for Hard Stone."

"The most important thing for you now is to find a suitable place to camp in a relatively remote and hidden area. Ensure that you have enough food and drink before doing anything else. Do not be in a hurry."

After finishing, Lv Fang took out the 'Small Confinement Array Flag' and handed it to Wu Yong, because the extraordinary power of this 'Wise Star' Wu Yong was the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, so he should be the most suitable to use this array.

"This is a small confinement array. After you have chosen your camp, you can use it to hide the surroundings of your camp."

"Even if you encounter relatively powerful existences, you can use this array to trap them, leaving you enough time to attack or escape."

After Lv Fang finished his instructions, he still felt a bit uneasy and said: "Military Advisor Wu Yong, you can try it first. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me while I'm still here."

What Lv Fang didn't expect was that he had somewhat underestimated Wu Yong.

Seeing Wu Yong fiddle with the 'Small Confinement Array Flag' for a while, he pinched a hand seal, and the array flags immediately separated and were inserted into the surroundings, instantly forming a small mist array. ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
