Chapter 3 - Sail Away

Take the sail of the past and sail today. Talking and laughing like a green cloud, even more sighing. I have never regretted this trip, everything I have experienced, and along the way, I will inevitably give up and cherish something. When faced with a dilemma, I always choose to follow what I want in my heart, even if it may leave me with nothing, I will definitely have no regrets in this life. - "The Legend of Nine Turns"

The warm spring breeze blows the seeds that have just been sown in the fields and grows a small sprout of seedlings. Walking through the edge of the field, stepping on the slightly moist earth, rustling, listening to the wind and bathing in the spring sun, the entire Demon Spirit Continent is now slowly sowing new life there. The hard-working people would get up early every day to start spring ploughing, and the water brought in from the fields in the spring would pour into the endless fields in a steady stream. The water brought in from the canals on both sides is diverted to the fields through a simple water system.

In the distance, the faintly winding mountain-like silhouette is the first Xiongguan on the Demon Spirit Continent, and the east border pass, which stretches for dozens of miles, stands above the border of Qi like a barrier, and at the same time, if Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal country, wants to attack Qi country, this must pass through the east border to be able to attack the territory of Qi country. In addition, in recent years, after Chen Jie returned to serve as the governor of Ruocheng again, he has carried out many maintenance and military increases for the East Linguan, and the city wall of the East Linguan has been thickened again, and the grain and grass hoarded in the pass have gradually become abundant. Even though there are no generals stationed in the East Linguan now, the guards of the East Linguan are just a partial general under Chen Jie's account. However, the current permanent army of Donglinguan has surpassed the permanent army of Ruocheng, and Donglinguan has become the biggest barrier for Qi to resist the middle army of the feudal state, and it can also be used as an outpost, and the importance of Donglinguan can be seen in general.

Three years ago, Donglin Pass had been captured by the Holy Emperor and the 100,000 elite troops of the Sealing War Society led by his men. Donglinguan once became a crisis for the Qi State, because a large amount of grain, grass and weapons were hoarded in Donglinguan. At that time, Donglinguan fell into the hands of the enemy, and the Holy Emperor was afraid of the deterrence of the two armies, and temporarily chose a three-year truce between the two sides. However, Chen Jie only found out after the battle that he and his subordinates actually seemed to be the Holy Emperor who withdrew his troops because of his little chance of victory. In fact, in fact, if you continue to fight like this for a long time, you will be able to rely on the grain, grass and weapons in the eastern border to supply, and it will be no problem at all to wait for the follow-up transportation troops to come. At that time, the army of the Sealing War Society had completely capital to consume. And they can't afford that time.

However, even so, the Holy Emperor still reaped what he wanted to do. The two armies were separated from each other because of the lack of military rations, and the country refused to accept it. Most of the sergeants have been reinstated. The Holy Emperor naturally welcomed this. The two armies are now gone. These elite sergeants have been transformed back into soldiers loyal to the Holy Emperor of the Feudal Kingdom. The Holy Emperor organized these tens of thousands of troops into his own army of the Feudal War Society. As a result, the strength of the army of the feudal state has far surpassed that of the Qi state.

But now, what the Holy Emperor is most worried about is that the leaders of the two armies of Feng Chiyun hired who have disappeared - Yuan Yu and Wei Ben are now missing. According to the soldiers who came back in the ordinary way, Yuan and Wei Ben took a few of their closest cronies and embarked on an unknown journey. These galloping soldiers didn't know where Yuan Yu and Wei Ben had gone. This has also become an intractable pimple in the Holy Emperor's heart, and it is precisely because of these many reasons that the current feudal country has no plan to attack the Qi country for a while. The Holy Emperor was not interested in getting involved in this matter for the time being, and his attention was still mainly on cleaning up the hidden dangers in his country.

The current Donglinguan stands between the feudal state and the Qi state, and is not only an important barrier and buffer zone for the Qi state to defend against the large-scale invasion of the feudal state. It is also a strategic location for the Qi State. In peacetime, when it is not a war, the east border can provide trade between some people of the two countries of Qi. Of course, this also made it easy for a large number of feudal envoys or demonic envoys of Qi to easily blend into the territory of the two countries. But at least for now, Donglinguan looks incredibly calm.

Outside the East Gate, there are not many people and merchants who usually carry the burden to trade and come and go between the East Gate and Ruocheng. On the plains outside the eastern border are scattered two or three vast fields of farmland. Although these three farmlands may seem to be quite large, they are actually just a drop in the bucket of the plains.

Once they crossed this plain, the people of Qi officially entered the confines of the East Border. The east border stretches for dozens of miles, and there are three city gates standing from north to south. Of course, if the people of Qi come from the direction of Ruocheng, they will generally only choose to take the "clear stream gate" in the middle. Slowly, this "clear stream" gate also unconsciously became the main gate of the East Linguan.

The people who came and went from outside the east border were scattered in threes and threes, and they came to the east side of the pass slowly. If the people who come and go here see a large number of people all the time, even in groups. These people will find it very strange.

And now, the people who were toiling in the fields outside the east border were surprised to find a few whirlwind-like figures running from the plain. These people didn't see it clearly at all, and they saw that the figure that looked faintly like a few girls had already entered the Qingliu Gate and disappeared from the sight of these people.

These girls who can't see clearly at all are naturally Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Jiang Yuehan, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun. A particularly eye-catching young man mixed in among the five golden flowers, but there were four small white storms faintly condensed around him. This young man was Feng Yuchong, and the reason why they were advancing at such a high speed along the way was because their light kung fu had made great progress in the past three years, and secondly, Feng Yuchong used his soul ability to burst out with a very terrifying speed. In just a quarter of an hour, the six of them had already entered the East Linguan from the outskirts of Ruocheng.

Of course, in the past three years, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Jiang Yuehan, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun have not only improved their control over light power and internal strength, but they are also struggling to find a way to break through the third form of their souls. It's just that the breakthrough from the second form of this instrument soul to the third form of the instrument soul is indeed a huge bottleneck. Even in the past three years, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Jiang Yuehan, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun have basically not slackened off, and they are groping every day. However, according to what Feng Yuchong said in the Baoyi Boy in the Sea of Spirits, the breakthrough of this layer of the soul does require some opportunities or coincidences. This is also the first bottleneck encountered by the soul controllers, and it is also the first node to separate the soul cultivators.

Feng Yuchong also learned about his current strength in detail, knowing that he had indeed reached the peak stage of the second layer of the instrument soul almost two years ago, and Feng Yuchong himself had been cultivating endlessly in the past two years. It's just that what the "opportunity" that Baoyi Boy is talking about, Feng Yuchong cares a lot about this opportunity that can give him a qualitative leap.

This trip to seal the country, in addition to looking for their parents and their uncle and grandfather, Jiang Mingcheng, the alliance leader of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy. What Feng Yuchong was more concerned about was also an exploration of the details of the Sealing Battle Meeting and the strength of the Holy Emperor. It is precisely because of this that Feng Yuchong is indeed full of expectations for this trip to the country. Of course, he is not alone, the five girls also have a deep longing in their hearts for this action to explore the inside of the feudal country.

Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Jiang Yuehan, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun now entered the Donglin Pass from Qingliumen at a fast speed. For Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan, this Xiongguan was once a place where they experienced trials close to life and death. The memories here are indeed especially deep for the three of them.

In the past three years, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan have not had time to come to this East Linguan. And the current development of the East Linguan really opened their eyes, and the current guard of the East Linguan is Dong Ping, the deputy general of Chen Jie, the governor of the southern part of the Qi State. Dong Ping has always continued Chen Jie's policy of being half a peasant and half a soldier and a gentle tax payment. Although Dong Ping himself is not a military general who is good at these words, he has implemented all the strategies given to him by Chen Jie step by step. After three years of hard work, Ruocheng and Donglinguan, coupled with the dual economic and military development of Huicheng in the south, Ruocheng has become the most prosperous city in Qi after Xuancheng.

Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Jiang Yuehan, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun were divided into two sides on the street of Donglinguan, and walked slowly from two different main roads to the west of Donglinguan. Now they are not in a hurry, they really can't, they can still rest in the East Linguan for a night, and then it is not too late to leave for the feudal country.

Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan slowly walked from the commercial street they were familiar with to the city gate on the other side of the east gate, but before they reached the city gate, Feng Shanshan had already noticed that something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the outlined mahogany city gate not far away, and when Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue hadn't noticed this situation, Feng Shanshan had already whispered in their ears: "Brother, Sister Yue, let's see if that city gate is closed."

Feng Yuchong was still talking to the Baoyi boy in his spiritual sea about breaking through the bottleneck of the third type of the soul, while Gao Hanyue was paying attention to the changes in the past three years in Donglinguan, and her attention was also on the new restaurants on the street and the clothes worn by the people walking on the street. The two of them didn't notice the closed city gate that Feng Shanshan said at first, but when they heard Feng Shanshan's words, Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue's attention was also retracted, and their eyes also swept over. Sure enough, the gate leading to the feudal country in the east was actually closed. On both sides of this city gate were guarded a large number of soldiers of the Eastern Linguan Qi Kingdom, and there were more than a dozen of these soldiers patrolling in front of the city gate.
