Chapter 196: Invincible Army

After Wu Yong tried various changes of the 'Small Confinement Array Flag', he happily put it away, bowed to Lv Fang, and said: "Thank you for your grace, my Lord."

Lv Fang did not correct the form of address. He didn't like the title 'my Lord', so he had previously asked the Book Spirit Yan Chixia to change it to 'Young Master'.

The situation was a bit different now. If he wanted to build a force, the title 'my Lord' was better than 'Young Master'. A person in a high position needs to maintain a certain sense of mystery and distance.

It was mainly for others to see.

He didn't need to worry about the loyalty of the 108 heroes to Lv Fang at all.

After some conversation, Lin Chong and Wu Yong proposed to give their side a name. In the future, the force would grow larger and larger, so a name was quite important.

As the Lord, the task of naming naturally fell on him.

108 Generals of *The Water Margin*!

Hero Camp?

Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Army?

In an instant, the names that popped into Lv Fang's mind were all related to *The Water Margin*. He couldn't help but frown. He had been too excited before and hadn't thought too much.

If the name of this force were related to *The Water Margin*, wouldn't others be able to guess its connection to him as soon as they heard it?

This was not what he wanted to see.

What he wanted was for this force to be under his control, but for no one to be able to guess its connection to him. Thinking this way, not only the name of the force, but even the names and disguises of Lin Chong, Wu Yong, and the others had to be altered.

Lv Fang thought for a moment and ordered: "From now on, you will all use numbers instead of names. You are not allowed to reveal your names to anyone. In addition, your attire must be unified. As for the name of the force, call it the 'Invincible Army'."

Lin Chong and the others responded in unison, shouting loudly: "Invincible Army!"

Scanning the shouting crowd, Lv Fang felt a surge of excitement in his heart. From today on, he also had a force of his own. This feeling was very wonderful.

A seed called 'ambition' sprouted in his heart.

Previously, he had felt that the conversation between the god possessing Song Ce and the Demon Heart about dividing the world was a ridiculous thing.

But now, he faintly had a thought.

And this thought, perhaps even he himself hadn't noticed.

Lv Fang carefully pondered the situations that might lead to exposure, as well as the future development direction of the Invincible Army. He didn't leave immediately, but followed the Invincible Army to find a remote location on the edge of the depths of the Scorched Earth Region.

Setting up camp, building houses, storing food, and scouting the surrounding forces.

After everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Lv Fang left alone. He felt that he would be in the Scorched Earth Region for a long time. If there were any problems with the Invincible Army, they could communicate with him directly via sound-transmission talismans.

His current Sixth Rank, Third Stage strength was fully capable of entering the depths of the Scorched Earth Region. The aura of Punishment was also there, but he didn't choose to go; instead, he searched for Hard Stone everywhere.

After all, he had a lead on Hard Stone, so he had to go and take a look regardless.

If he could find a large amount of Hard Stone, that would naturally be good. In this way, he could refine weapons faster and solve the problem of Punishment or its aura more easily.

The Demon Heart thought the same way; searching for Hard Stone was much more important than going to see the aura of Punishment directly.

Rather than knowing nothing about the aura of Punishment with his current ability, it was better to search for Hard Stone while secretly scouting for relevant information.

"It's really strange. I haven't found any Hard Stone after searching for two days. Did I look in the wrong place? That shouldn't be."

Lv Fang had been searching for two days, and let alone Hard Stone, he hadn't even seen a decent mineral. Too many people had come to this place; even if there were good things, they had probably already been found by others.

"Should I change places? I've searched inside and out, and I feel like there's no Hard Stone here."

He asked the Demon Heart.

"Either it's not here at all, or the Hard Stone here is hidden too deeply. I haven't perceived any either. If it really doesn't work, changing places is fine."

Searching for Hard Stone these past two days, the Demon Heart had used its perception and also found nothing.

Lv Fang sighed: "Otherwise, let's go take a look at the aura of Punishment first to see what the situation is. In the short term, there's basically no need to think about refining a weapon with Hard Stone."

If it were any other matter, he would definitely not discuss it with the Demon Heart.

But regarding everything about Punishment, he believed the Demon Heart understood it better, so he would subconsciously discuss it with it. Of course, if it proposed an idea that made him suspicious, he would also refuse.

In general, he would let the Demon Heart provide him with a suggestion, and as for whether to follow it, that was for him to decide.

Demon Heart: "I feel the same way. Let your subordinates search for Hard Stone. Let's go see how strong the aura of Punishment is right now."

They hit it off immediately. Lv Fang didn't need to make a choice; the Demon Heart sensed the location of the aura of Punishment, and he headed toward the depths of the Scorched Earth Region.

The exotic beasts encountered on the edge of the Scorched Earth Region could be easily handled by Lv Fang. When he entered the deep region and encountered exotic beasts again, he finally understood why people outside felt it was dangerous here.

Although he was Sixth Rank, Third Stage, his powerful strength made him a standout even in the Scholarly Adept Realm.

Even so, he almost died when encountering exotic beasts in the depths of the Scorched Earth Region, which showed how ferocious the exotic beasts here were.

Poisonous Swamp.

A blade of light flashed, cutting a two-headed python exotic beast in the mud along the way into two. Just as Lv Fang put the exotic beast and exotic plants into his storage bag, the poisonous mist in the surroundings spread back.

Actually, the exotic beasts in this poisonous swamp were not particularly powerful, but the poisonous mist here was very toxic, which was why few people dared to come.

Lv Fang consumed Book Fragrance Qi, looked up at the boundless poisonous swamp, sighed helplessly, and turned back to retrace the path he had come from.

Because of the Book Fragrance Qi, he could ignore these poisonous mists.

But to pass through here completely, or to enter the depths of the poisonous swamp, would consume too much Book Fragrance Qi, so he had to retreat.

The depths of the Scorched Earth Region were so large; if he couldn't pass through here, he could just change direction. There was no need to be so stubborn.

Demon Heart: "Are you really not planning to enter the depths of the poisonous swamp to take a look? The formation of such a treacherous place must have a reason. Perhaps there could be a great opportunity."

Lv Fang rolled his eyes in annoyance and said: "I was just on the edge of the poisonous swamp. If I entered the depths, I don't know what kind of powerful exotic beasts I would encounter. If I could encounter an opportunity, that would be good, but I also need to have my life to encounter it."

"In short, consuming Book Fragrance Qi like this is definitely impossible."

"Book Fragrance Qi is so hard to obtain, how could I waste it so much for a possibility."

The Demon Heart had learned about Book Fragrance Qi before, so he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. He simply spoke openly. It knew he could obtain Book Fragrance Qi, but it didn't know he had dozens of wisps of Book Fragrance Qi on him. ===== CHAPTER 197 =====
