Chapter Seventy-Four: The Commercial Capital is Far Away
The beast-shaped spies all withdrew from the battlefield area, and this place was no longer suitable for them to hide, and everyone divided into several paths, and each sneaked back to the capital of the Xilin Empire to report the situation to the top.
But what they didn't expect was that not long after they hit the road, and before they left the jurisdiction of the Jurisdiction Tower City, they were intercepted one after another, without exception.
The strength of those who came happened to be slightly stronger than them, and whether they resisted or fled, there was little hope.
It wasn't long before the seven spies sent by the beast were either killed or captured, and all of them were wiped out.
The four people who were captured returned to Shita City under the escort of the disciples of the Sword Hall, and Ye Feng and the others were already waiting for them in another inn. It turned out that the inn was destroyed by the battle between Shaoqi and Lin Kai, and they had to find another place to live.
At this time, Ye Feng and his party finally gathered, and there were four more captives, this inn was not big, and there was no room that could accommodate everyone at the same time, so everyone had no choice but to wrap up the entire inn, dismiss the guys in the store, and interrogate the prisoners in the lobby.
The strength of these beast-shaped disciples is not weak, and they all have sword venerable-level cultivation, but compared to the ten disciples selected by Ye Feng from the sword hall, they are a step behind.
Originally, these beast-shaped disciples were still stubbornly resisting, but when they saw with their own eyes that there were six gods gathered in a small inn, the last hope of escape was shattered. Although the beast form had received news from Ye Feng and the others in advance, and knew that there were at least two gods in their team, but everyone, including the three elders of the beast form, did not expect that their strength would be as strong as this.
In fact, the monster form could not underestimate Ye Feng's strength, because according to the reliable information they had, only two of the twenty-eight gods in the Sword Hall of the Heavenly Palace could not be determined, and the rest were either sitting in the Sword Hall or had a whereabouts to follow, so the beast form would make a judgment based on this.
But how did they know that in Ye Feng's Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace, there were already two guest secretaries, Shangguan Thunder and Murong Tongtian, plus Fang Ai's recent promotion, which together was twice their estimate. And on this trip, Ye Feng subdued Pang Jingtao and Jaw Yuan, two sword god-level powerhouses, among which Jaw Yuan even had the strength of a fifth-level sword god, although he was not so obedient, but at least on the surface he had to obey Ye Feng's will.
With such a prosperous lineup, to conquer a mortal vassal country, I am afraid that only Ye Feng can do it.
Several beast-shaped disciples were completely shocked by such a lineup, and coupled with Ye Feng's coercion and temptation, it didn't take long for them to completely confess all the information they knew.
Everything was as Ye Feng expected, after the beast form got the news that Ding Shan and the others were killed in battle, he immediately received the message that the Great Xia Kingdom had changed to the Sword Hall under Ye Feng's persecution.
This message shocked all the beast-shaped gods, it was not terrible to lose a Great Xia, what was terrible was the hidden message behind this, could it be that the Sword Hall intended to infect their subject country?
Everyone speculated about the intentions of the Sword Hall, although they knew that the Sword Hall had already been included in the hostile camp, but at this moment, under the repeated losses of strength, no one wanted to believe that the Sword Hall had already done something to them. If this speculation is true, it is undoubtedly worse news. If one is not good, it may cause the consequences of ruin.
But this speculation didn't last long, and the beast-shaped gods had to face the reality, and the sword hall had begun to challenge the beast form head-on, which was an undeniable fact! Because after the Great Xia, only one day later, the Great Han also fell to the enemy, and three of the four major empires in the northern frontier had already been included in the control of the sword hall, and at this time, even if they wanted to compete with the sword hall, it was too late.
The loss of two major subject countries in succession is immeasurable, and the blow to the beast form is immeasurable.
Their high-end force is far inferior to that of the Sword Hall, and the reason why they can dominate the Sword Hall in the power ranking is completely due to the fact that there are many subject countries and their comprehensive strength is strong. As long as they were given time, they could cultivate a few more gods in a short period of time, after all, magic crystals and elixirs were really nothing to them.
But Jian Tang had obviously grasped their fatal weakness and openly tore his face.
The only way at the moment is to immediately reinforce the Xilin Empire, which is already the last fortress of the beast form in the northern frontier, with it, there will be a chance to take back other subject countries when the beast form grows stronger in the future, and even dominate the northern frontier. But once even this last fortress is lost, even if it becomes stronger in the future, if you want to recover the vassal state of Northern Xinjiang, you will inevitably have to pay a greater price.
After estimating the strength of Ye Feng and his party, the beast form decided that a great elder would lead the other two gods to Xilin, originally one great elder was enough to deal with two gods, but this battle could not be lost, so for the sake of prudence, two people were added.
The three gods led twenty Sword Venerable disciples to the northern frontier to enter the Xilin Empire to deploy to meet the enemy before Ye Feng and the others left the Great Korea.
The beast form was already completely annoyed, and decided to take the opportunity to kill Ye Feng and the others, which could not only weaken the power of the Sword Hall, but also teach the Sword Hall a lesson, so that they would not dare to act rashly again.
But even if there is a great elder leading the team, it is not easy to kill two or even three gods, after all, most of the people who can advance to the gods have the means to save their lives with both hands, and if they can't beat them, it is always much easier to escape.
Therefore, if you miss a hit, it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of killing. Because of this, Great Elder Ding Shixiong cautiously took the two gods to hide in the palace of the Xilin Empire, so as not to startle the snake. Later, he sent his disciples to keep an eye on Shaoqi and the others, and used them to catch the accurate whereabouts of Ye Feng and the others, and then gathered strength to kill them with one blow.
Ding Fang, a third-level god who came with Ding Shixiong, was an impatient person, and he couldn't wait for the target for three days in a row, his heart was like grass growing, and he couldn't sit still no matter what.
He even suspected that it was his subordinate disciples who were afraid of war, so they deliberately concealed the whereabouts of Ye Feng and the others. So he decided to check it out for himself. But he also knew in his heart that if he told Ding Shixiong his intention in advance, then he would not be able to go anyway. After thinking about it, he finally decided to sneak away to take a look, as long as he went back quickly, Ding Shixiong would not notice it.
So he sneaked out while his companions were practicing, and sneaked to the inn where Shao Qi and the others were.
Seeing that the truth was just as reported by his disciples, he wanted to leave. But a woman caught his idea, and that woman was not only beautiful, but also had a charming temperament, which made him feel excited.
He stopped in front of the woman's room to peek at the door, and accidentally left his breath behind. It wasn't until he noticed someone coming towards him that he hurried away from the terrace.
Who knew that the latecomer was surprisingly careful and actually discovered his existence.
He was annoyed and wanted to get rid of this person, but then he thought that he had come rashly on this trip, and if he killed one of them again and caused a huge movement, he would be completely shocked.
And if you do this, Ding Shixiong will definitely know, then you will be really in trouble.
In desperation, he had no choice but to exert coercion, hoping to deter the person who noticed him, so that he would not dare to go out and talk nonsense.
But how could he know that Shao Qi not only responded immediately, but also informed Ye Feng of the matter as soon as possible.
In this way, Ye Feng was even more sure of his guess, so he tried to provoke the beast-like powerhouses lurking on the side with Shaoqi's challenge, leading them from the dark to the light.
Although there are six gods on his side, as long as the four emperors do not come in person, any situation can be dealt with. But Ye Feng did not underestimate the enemy, but decided to find out the opponent's situation first before making plans, whether to fight or go depends on the opponent's deployment.
Unexpectedly, until Lin Kai was killed, the beast-shaped god did not show up, which couldn't help but make Ye Feng secretly surprised, so he had to send disciples to capture the other spies according to the situation at that time, and only then did he know the details from them.
Ye Feng couldn't laugh or cry at the plan of the beast form, even if the god could travel thousands of miles in an instant, but Ding Shixiong and the others squatting in the palace waiting for the news were too unreliable. For the gods, the distance of more than 100,000 miles is not too far, but it is not enough to reach it as soon as it is said, even if they are alone, it will take a lot of energy to reach it instantly, not to mention that they are still three people.
And Ye Feng really couldn't think of it, like now, if he captured all their disciples, how should they deal with it?
After detailed inquiry, Ye Feng had already determined that Ding Shixiong had not set up a preservation method such as regular contact with his disciples. I really don't know if Ding Shixiong is too confident and not afraid that his disciples will be wiped out, or if he is careless and didn't take this into account at all.
Do you want to let the two of you go back and inform them? Ye Feng was distressed by this.
In desperation, Ye Feng had no choice but to lead everyone straight to Weiyuan City, the capital of the Xilin Empire.
Weiyuan is located in the middle of the Xilin Empire, is a city with very developed water and land transportation, and is also the largest economic and trade center among the four countries in northern Xinjiang. As time went by, Weiyuan became more and more prosperous, and even the Xilin Empire became the largest commercial and trade empire among the four countries in northern Xinjiang.
The Fang Dynasty had the same idea, wanting to establish a trading center within the country and gradually replace Weiyuan's position. However, the other three countries had already established an offensive and defensive alliance, and the other side and the DPRK had repeatedly improved their business and travel policies and ignored them, and the Fang Dynasty's plans could only be abandoned.
And now that he has come to Weiyuan, Fang Ai is probably the most touching one among everyone, not for anything else, because the strategy that Fang Chao did at the beginning was personally planned and implemented by him during his reign.
Looking at the gorgeous and majestic city wall of Weiyuan, Fang Ai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, only when he came here, he knew that Weiyuan's prosperity could never be replaced by other places, not only the geographical location, the types of products, business travel policies and other conditions were extremely superior, but the most important thing was that Weiyuan people have developed a sense of treating business travel well and attaching importance to business travel, which is the reason why Weiyuan cannot be replaced.
