After Li Fei entered, he looked up, glanced at him, and spoke casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Fei sat down, the Emperor continued reading the booklet in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Study fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the Emperor put down the booklet and looked up at Li Fei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hear you have been busy with government affairs lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei sat up straight: \"Your Majesty appointed me as the Blue Patrol Special Envoy.

He stood up, looked at the Emperor with a righteous expression, and bowed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would not dare! Everything I do is in accordance with the laws of our Great Blue Dynasty; I have never acted in violation of them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor stared at Li Fei. Although he did not unleash any aura, he still exerted great pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, he threw the booklet he had been reading directly to Li Fei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My current worries are not internal, but external. Take a look; this is the latest battle report from the Northern Frontier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei caught the thrown booklet, which had a telegram tucked inside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May 21st: The Northern Barbarian King Boerhu led his army to the sacred grounds of the Fire Qilin Tribe, surrounding them without attacking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May 24th: The Flame Heart Tribe and the Green Ember Tribe, both of which have been on friendly terms with the Fire Qilin Tribe for generations, arrived with their joint forces and engaged in a standoff with Boerhu's army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May 25th: Boerhu reached an agreement with the three tribes.

I remember you were present at that Grand Court Assembly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei nodded: \"Yes, I was in the hall at that time; it was my first time attending a Grand Court Assembly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor said calmly: \"Starting next month, sixty-three new temples across the country will be ready to begin construction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was startled upon hearing this and quickly did the math.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does this mean that in over two years, the Buddhist sect has refined 3,150 new sets of Fiend-suppressing weapons for the imperial court?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they are not the highest-grade 'Ten-Thousand-Man Fiend-suppressing weapons,' if calculated as 'Thousand-Man Fiend-suppressing weapons,' it means the imperial court can field three additional thousand-man Imperial Camp armies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is equivalent to having three more Grandmasters on the battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is definitely a factor capable of influencing the war, and Li Fei could guess that these additional Imperial Camp troops would certainly be secretly sent to the Northern Frontier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To march in the primeval forests of the Northern Barbarians, one must be an elite force like the Imperial Camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the establishment of the Blue Patrol Pavilion, over three thousand martial artists have been recommended from various regions to join the Military Affairs Bureau in the past two months, and all these three thousand-plus martial artists have already been sent to the Northern Frontier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over three thousand martial artists volunteering for the army all at once—this is the benefit brought by the Blue Patrol Pavilion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei continued to listen quietly, waiting for the arrangements regarding himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor looked at him: \"Next, the imperial court will form a 'Barbarian-Slaying Army' to strike into the land of the Northern Barbarians and behead Boerhu! The three thousand-plus martial artists recommended from various regions will also join the Barbarian-Slaying Army. You are a member of the Blue Patrol Pavilion and also a Blue Patrol Special Envoy. I intend to appoint you as the Army Supervisor of the Barbarian-Slaying Army, and you will also be responsible for leading these three thousand-plus Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was startled upon hearing this; he did not expect the position the Emperor gave him to be so high—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Army Supervisor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although an Army Supervisor of the Great Blue Dynasty has no command authority, their status is almost equal to that of the army's Regional Commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They monitor punishments and rewards, report on misconduct, and act as the eyes and ears of the monarch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a true confidant can hold such a position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Emperor did not just let Li Fei serve as an Army Supervisor; he also gave him real power—commanding over three thousand Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is equivalent to directly giving Li Fei his own base of support within the army; he is truly powerful and influential now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei bowed to the Emperor, feeling somewhat moved in his heart:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thank Your Majesty for your trust and will certainly not fail your commission!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repaying the monarch's favor on the Golden Terrace, drawing the jade dragon to die for the monarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could now somewhat understand the artistic conception of this poem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Northern lands are treacherous; I await your triumphant return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor said finally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei bowed solemnly and then took his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an excited heart, Shen Zhen arrived at the Jing'an Marquis Mansion once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was soon led through the main gate by the butler and brought to the guest hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was already sitting inside waiting for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Marquis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Person Shen, no need for such formalities. Please, sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Fei invited her to sit, he did not waste any words and directly handed over a token:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Returning the item to its owner. True Person Shen, please check it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen was stunned; she did not expect Li Fei to be so straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Li Fei said he needed to prepare for a while, and it ended up dragging on for over two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Shen Zhen thought Li Fei might have reneged and wanted to raise the price, he suddenly called her to the mansion today and then directly returned the Dream-Like Token to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen's hands trembled slightly as she carefully took the Dream-Like Token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Injecting her true power into it, she completed the check in the blink of an eye, confirming that the piece in her hand was indeed the supreme treasure the sect had lost for many years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Shen Zhen's eyes welled up with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up and was about to bow to Li Fei, but was stopped by him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Person Shen, there is no need for this; it was something we agreed upon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen nodded repeatedly, quickly tucking the Dream-Like Token into her robes to calm her state of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sat down again, and Li Fei asked directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that the Nightmare Sect also recommended martial artists to join the border army?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen: \"That is correct. My sect has two major affiliated sects. After the Blue Patrol Pavilion was established, our sect recommended a total of twenty martial artists from the two affiliated sects to join the border army. Currently, these twenty people have been transferred to the Northern Frontier and may participate in the upcoming war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial court sending elite troops deep into the Northern Barbarian lands to behead the Northern Barbarian King is a top-secret matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information currently known to the outside world is what the imperial court intentionally created—that the Northern Frontier army is standing by in full battle array, preparing to deal with the next wave of attacks from the Northern Barbarians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei: \"I will also be going to the Northern Frontier next. The martial artists recommended by the various organizations of the Blue Patrol Pavilion this time will all be under my command.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen immediately said: \"Then I will immediately write back to the sect and have the Sect Master recommend another fifty elites to go to the Northern Frontier. Everyone will be at the Marquis's disposal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought Li Fei intended to gain military merit in the Northern Frontier, so she decisively gave her support:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides that, my Nightmare Sect is on good terms with quite a few sects. I will strive to persuade the martial artists recommended by those sects to also follow the Marquis's command.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei smiled: \"Good, then many thanks, True Person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Emperor gave him the power to command over three thousand Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists, if he wants to truly manage these three thousand-plus people, his official rank and reputation alone are not enough; he also needs his own people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from Datong Prefecture, plus the people from the Nightmare Sect, can first form Li Fei's true base of support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Shen Zhen off, Li Fei probed his consciousness into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside his true spirit stood an old man wearing Daoist robes with a celestial appearance, who was none other than the newly 'moved' True Person Qingding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Moving' from the Dream-Like Token into Li Fei's flying sword body would not normally take over two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Li Fei needed to prepare for such a long time was to ensure that this wisp of True Person Qingding's remnant soul would not be damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lifespan of a warlock is much shorter than that of a martial artist; even for a Daoist True Lord proficient in longevity techniques, their maximum lifespan is hard to exceed two hundred years, whereas a Martial Saint's lifespan can reach three hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, sorcerers also possess an advantage that martial artists do not: the True Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cultivating to the True Spirit Realm, a sorcerer’s original consciousness transforms into a True Soul; even if their body perishes, a True Person’s True Soul can survive independently for another seven days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one can find an object suitable for the True Soul to inhabit, the duration of its survival can be extended even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it is the complete True Soul of a True Person, it can survive for at least a hundred years after death within their own natal magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it is the complete True Soul of a True Monarch, the survival time within their natal magic treasure can even reach two hundred years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forces like the Daoist and Buddhist schools, which have True Monarchs and Buddhas in every generation, possess many such senior experts whose True Souls remain after death; this is the foundation of a sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, without a physical body, a True Soul is like a tree without roots; its own realm and power will continuously weaken as time passes, making it impossible to maintain its original realm for long, only growing weaker and weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, when Qingxu rebelled back then, it would not have been just one True Monarch from the Great Luo Sect who took action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you feel, Senior? Is there any discomfort?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei’s True Spirit asked the True Person Qingding beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Qingding gave a self-deprecating smile: \"Just a wisp of a remnant soul, merely lingering on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His situation was far worse than that of a True Person who leaves behind a True Soul after death; he was a wisp of a remnant soul residing within someone else's natal magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, he could survive for at most another ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, there is no need to be discouraged; there will always be a way to solve this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei comforted him, \"Ten years from now, I may well have a way to help you resolve your predicament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone else had said this, True Person Qingding would certainly have scoffed at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the condition of a lingering True Soul could be fundamentally resolved, the Buddhist and Daoist schools would have found a result long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the foundation and strength of the Buddhist and Daoist schools, if they have been unable to solve this problem to this day, how could it be solved by just one person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the person saying this was Li Fei, the number one prodigy in history!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Qingding was willing to hold a glimmer of expectation for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, then this old man will leave it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Qingding laughed, \"I won't 'stay' with you for nothing; when you refine new sorcery-type implants in the future, I can help refine them together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, it had always been Li Fei’s True Spirit alone refining implants within his body; now, with an extra True Person Qingding, it was equivalent to having an additional assistant, and the efficiency would become even higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then many thanks, Senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei left his True Spirit to continue chatting with True Person Qingding, learning sorcery and alchemy from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A True Spirit is equivalent to his second consciousness; with the True Spirit, he could multitask. Letting the True Spirit follow True Person Qingding to learn alchemy was undoubtedly the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking out of the main hall, Li Fei headed toward the martial arts training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, two martial artists were sparring on the field, one using a saber and the other a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Li Fei, the two hurriedly stopped and bowed to him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Marquis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei nodded: \"How is your cultivation going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man using the saber said: \"With the Marquis's help, plus the Spirit Heart Pill you bestowed, I am confident that I will complete the 'Return to One' by next month!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other martial artist using the sword also followed up by saying: \"Me too, I will definitely complete the 'Return to One' by next month!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two, the one using the saber was named Miao Yangxia and the one using the sword was Su Jia; both were peak Qi Transformation stage martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were previously wandering martial artists from Feng Province; upon hearing that Li Fei had opened a manor and was recruiting people in Xingcheng, they both ran to defect and joined the Jing'an Marquis Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Fei helped Xu Xiao successfully break through to become a Dao Foundation stage martial artist, he had Xingcheng send over two more martial artists who met the requirements of the 'Hundred-Day Breakthrough Method'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Miao Yangxia and Su Jia came to Lanling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After secretly checking their subconscious minds using the 'Dream Realm Method' and confirming that they were not spies sent by others and that their character was not problematic, Li Fei began to help the two break through and bestowed upon them the Spirit Heart Pills he had obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than two months of hard training, the two were now only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Dao Foundation stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Li Fei would have two more Dao Foundation stage experts under his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be going to the Northern Territory next to participate in the war there; are you willing to come with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei asked straightforwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, neither of them hesitated in the slightest, cupping their fists:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We swear to follow the Marquis to the death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei decided to take these two to the Northern Territory because the Dao Foundations they were cultivating were the types more suitable for growing through life-and-death combat, so he wanted to take them to be tempered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could return alive from the Northern Territory, he would have two more experts under his command capable of holding their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xu Xiao, who had already broken through, Li Fei had arranged for him to return to Datong Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That place was in a period of high-speed development and was in great need of a Dao Foundation stage expert to hold the fort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, go prepare; we will be setting off very soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei said to the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time of departure was even earlier than Li Fei had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On May 28th, the day after his audience with the Emperor, Li Fei received an imperial decree ordering him to set off for the Northern Territory immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Li Fei took Miao Yangxia and Su Jia to the train station to board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis, take care on your journey; I await your safe return!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the station, Lu Wenxing said to Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei did not take him along for this trip to the Northern Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually applied to go, but was rejected by Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Li Fei’s view, although Lu Wenxing was a Dao Foundation stage martial artist, he had long since lost his sharpness and lacked the potential and spirit to continue raising his cultivation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person was better suited to manage the rear for him rather than going to the front lines to kill the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, if anything happens, keep in touch at all times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei patted Lu Wenxing on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he intended to turn and enter the station, he suddenly felt something and looked in a certain direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a car parked by the street in the distance, with a woman of very ordinary appearance and figure standing beside the car door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei recognized this person at a glance; it was 'Little Flower', who had always been by the Third Imperial Prince's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman, who was plain-looking and had a very ordinary name, was a Martial Arts Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this person had come, it meant the Third Imperial Prince had also arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all wait for me a moment; I am going to see someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei said to Lu Wenxing and the others, then turned and walked toward Little Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived, Little Flower nodded at him and took the initiative to open the back car door for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the car, the Third Imperial Prince, dressed in casual clothes and holding a folding fan, smiled at Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei sat into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Army Supervisor of the Barbarian-Slaying Army, commander of three thousand Lan Patrol Pavilion martial artists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Imperial Prince said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter was still a first-class secret of the Military Council and had not yet been made public, but he had stated it directly, once again demonstrating his own influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was not surprised by this; after all, the other party possessed the world's number one intelligence organization:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the opportunity given by the Emperor, are you planning to go to the Northern Territory to test the waters first? If you can establish enough military merit and build a foundation in the army, there would be no need to join forces with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Imperial Prince asked straightforwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked at him: \"Your Highness knows me well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Imperial Prince laughed loudly, snapped his folding fan shut, and pointed it at Li Fei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are taking military merit too simply, and you are taking the Northern Barbarians too simply.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei said calmly: \"Everything must be tried; my path has always been tested out this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Imperial Prince restrained his smile and nodded: \"That is true; after all, you are the number one prodigy in history, and miracles often accompany you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, I am not here to persuade you, but to provide you with some intelligence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please speak, Your Highness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After knowing that the other party held 'Under Heaven', Li Fei dared not underestimate the intelligence provided by him even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The commander of this Barbarian-Slaying Army is Bai Yan, the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Zhige Pavilion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Imperial Prince said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Yan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei had met this Grandmaster once before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, it was he who rushed from Lanling City to Tianshui City, took Ye Zhao from Li Fei’s hands, and personally escorted Ye Zhao back to the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Yan fought his way out of the border army step by step; only after establishing military merit did he enter the Zhige Pavilion and eventually become the Deputy Pavilion Master. His famous battle back then was leading over two thousand elites deep into the wilderness, eventually wiping out a branch of the Fire Qilin Tribe and bringing back over a thousand heads, including the head of a Martial Arts Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Imperial Prince continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because he has experience fighting the Northern Barbarians and also has experience leading troops on long-distance raids in the wilderness jungles, he is the Regional Commander of this Barbarian-Slaying Army, and the intelligence I want to provide is also related to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please speak, Your Highness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason Bai Yan was able to wipe out that branch of the Fire Qilin Tribe back then was because he was in love with the daughter of the Fire Qilin Tribe's Great Elder and had intelligence provided by her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Yan used the Fire Qilin Tribe Great Elder's daughter, and in the end, she was personally executed by the Great Elder. This time, the Emperor letting Bai Yan lead the team has both pros and cons; I have already stated the pros. As for the cons, it is that your Barbarian-Slaying Army is very likely to encounter the crazy revenge of the Fire Qilin Tribe! That Great Elder is a top-tier True Person of the 'Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Great Perfection', and his strength is terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the Third Prince’s words, Li Fei was somewhat puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would Your Highness tell me these things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Prince smiled: \"Since we are to seek cooperation, naturally I must show some sincerity. I believe that no matter what merits you establish in the Northern Frontier this time, you will ultimately still need my help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei fell silent for a moment, then said to the Third Prince:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many thanks for the intelligence, Your Highness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he opened the car door and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Fei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Prince suddenly called out to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei turned around to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Prince: \"Come back alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei nodded: \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he closed the car door and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intelligence provided by the Third Prince was certainly valuable; at the very least, it allowed Li Fei to look up information on the Fire Qilin Tribe in advance and prepare some targeted measures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the possibility of encountering that terrifyingly powerful Great Elder of the Fire Qilin Tribe, Li Fei was not that worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goal of this Barbarian-Slaying Army this time was to behead the Northern Barbarian King, Bo'erhu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could not even deal with someone who had been defeated by the opponent before, how could they talk about beheading?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei pondered all the way back to the station entrance, preparing to lead his men inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis of Jing'an—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a voice came from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people turned their heads one after another and saw the Imperial Eunuch Feng Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was holding a wooden box in his hands, striding toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he appeared to be walking leisurely, the distance of several hundred meters seemed to be only a few meters under his feet, and it was crossed in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei’s heart tightened; he vaguely sensed the [No-Distance] divine ability from Feng Cheng, and the other party’s attainment in this divine ability was clearly far higher than his own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Eunuch Feng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei, Lu Wenxing, and the others bowed together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cheng was still all smiles:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis of Jing'an, His Majesty sent me to see you off and, incidentally, to give you something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he handed the wooden box in his hand to Li Fei, and the following words could only be heard by Li Fei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty says that after you arrive at the Northern Frontier, the imperial decree appointing you as the Army Supervisor of the Barbarian-Slaying Army and commander of the Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists will arrive shortly.
