"Poof"

After soaking for seven hours, Qi Yue emerged from the medicinal liquid in the early morning of the next day, and the two tempering required for the steel body to be completed before the transformation realm had been completed, and the strength of the physical body seemed to have reached the limit, unless there was a foreign treasure to help, the cultivation of the outer sect kung fu could end here for a short time.

The second quenching did not make Qi Yue's appearance change greatly, it was still the same as before, but the real internal changes were only known to Qi Yue himself.

Under the surge in strength, Qi Yue thought that there was no need to avoid the beasts, walked out of the cave where he had been hiding for many days, punched the rock wall next to the cave entrance with his hand, and then walked into the distance without looking back.

"Boom~"

Soon after Qi Yue left, the small hill collapsed with a continuous loud noise, completely covering the cave, and no one knew that it had ever been inhabited.

Half a year is like a year for some people, but Qi Yue feels that it is a good time to cultivate, and even he himself doesn't know how strong he has become in this half year, so now he urgently needs to find a strong opponent to prove his strength.

The Beastmaster is undoubtedly the most suitable choice at the moment.

Not to mention how important the Beast Pill is to the significance of the assessment, just because he chased and killed Qi Yue for half a year, he had to avenge this revenge.

But the things in the world are unpredictable, before the beast king chased after him, no matter where he fled, he could chase him, forcing Qi Yue to dig a hiding cave by himself to avoid chasing and recovering from his injuries.

But when he was really concentrating on looking for the beast king, he searched for most of the stone forest but never found a trace, and he vented his anger on his subordinates when he was angry, and smashed more than ten spirit beast nests one after another for five or six days, slaughtered more than 700 spirit beasts of all kinds, and swept away the entire northern part of the Ten Thousand Beast Stone Forest.

But in this case, the Beastmaster watched his men being slaughtered, and he was still indifferent and did not have the slightest news.

The beast king didn't find it, but Qi Yue's large-scale slaughter of spirit beasts resonated with many people in the stone forest, and those heroes who had been hiding in the mountainside for half a year came out one after another, threatening to join Qi Yue's team, and it had gradually organized into a large scale.

Of course, Qi Yue was happy to be like this, he was worried about the lack of manpower, so more and more people gathered around him along the way, and in just a few days, thousands of people came to defect, whether it was someone who wanted to save his life, or a righteous man who was purely infected by his behavior, he accepted it without shirk.

In this way, the team swept through the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Stone Forest and set off a bloody storm, but whenever they encountered the traces of spirit beasts, they were responsible for guarding the Quartet and cutting off their retreats, and the rest of the people rushed up to cut their bodies into pieces, and the scene was bloody and violent, even Qi Yue sometimes couldn't bear it.

Whenever someone reminds him in his ear at this time, how these spirit beasts have chased and killed everyone in the past six months, and how many heroes have died under the claws of the beasts and become minced meat in their abdomen, which shows how much everyone hates spirit beasts.

With the passage of time, Qi Yue's prestige in the hearts of everyone also increased, and his chances to make a move became less and less, most of the time he was shouted by the radicals beside him shouting the slogan of killing the spirit beast, wielding the blade of a dozen or even dozens of people to besiege a spirit beast.

Of course, not everyone participated in this beast slaughter tide, such as Zhuyue and Dongfang Xuan, who had been in a state of invisibility and had never appeared in front of others, and even the four of Long Haoqiong gradually became low-key and had not appeared in front of people for a long time.

"In the eyes of the young master of the East, what do you think of that person?"

Standing on a high mountain in the distance and looking down, Qi Yue, who was surrounded by everyone and couldn't help but be overjoyed, looked at the young master of Xuanxiao Palace beside him, whose eyes were above the top.

"He can take advantage of this opportunity to stand up and win people's hearts, which can be regarded as a bit of scheming" Dongfang Xuan's face was expressionless, as if he was praising him, but anyone could hear his disdain.

Hearing this, Zhuyue looked at Qi Yue in the distance, and his eyes showed a strange color, "But I don't think so, I think he can stand up and lead everyone to resist, and he has succeeded, which means that he has the potential to become an excellent general."

Dongfang Xuan looked at Zhuyue's face that was overwhelming, and the index finger of his right hand inadvertently rested on the hilt of the sword and kept rubbing, his eyes were deep and thoughtful.

"What? You want to recruit him to work for your royal brother?"

Taketsuki didn't deny it, and instead looked at the western sky, a little distracted.

"My royal family of Yanting Kingdom has been friends with your Xuanxiao Palace descendants for generations, so there are some things that don't hurt to listen to you, but I don't know if the young master of Dongfang is interested?" After speaking, he stared at Dongfang Xuan with a pair of beautiful eyes.

No matter how arrogant Dongfang Xuan is, after all, he is also a young man with strong blood, and with a beauty like Zhuyue, he naturally can't help but feel ripples in his heart, and he can't help but nodded, and said a little stupidly, "What the princess wants to say, I will naturally listen to it!"

Zhuyue gradually withdrew her gaze and looked into the distance with a wistful expression

"My Yanting a country has been more than 670 years since Taizu, the beginning of the founding of the country is just sandwiched in Linxian, Canglang, the border of the sea frontier, the land is only hundreds of miles, the population is less than 500,000, militarily it is only supported by the 8,000 Tenglong Iron Army, in order to survive nearly seventy percent of the annual tax tribute to the three major countries, according to the historical records of our country, those years are almost every year of starvation, corpses are everywhere, Yi Zi cannibalism is not a legend, it can be said that no matter which country at that time is a thousand times stronger than my Yanting.

It is such a weak country, although there is always the danger of destroying the country, but under the leadership of our ancestors, we have never given up, more than 600 years, 23 monarchs, we have been seeking that trace of peace in the game of the surrounding powers, and constantly wandering between the countries through the vertical and horizontal strategies, moving for the benefit, but at the same time not losing themselves.

Year after year, we grew stronger, even under the noses of several of our "close" neighbors, until four generations ago, a great war broke out between the three kingdoms, which lasted for seventeen years, and in the end they did not conquer each other, but the long war depleted each other's national strength like never before.

At that time, the monarch of my Yanting was eloquent and strategic, realizing that the time had come to rise, and taking advantage of the emptiness of the national strength of the three countries, he personally led 100,000 Tenglong Iron Army to successively break through 23 cities in Canglang and Haijiang, seven important towns, and countless passes, and even once attacked the capital of Haijiang State, and finally forced the two countries to hurriedly send people to sue for peace, expressing their willingness to cede land.

After this war, the territory of our Yanting expanded more than three times, stirred up countless money, food and wages, and the population swelled to 30 million.

After three generations of our monarchs and people worked together, began to constantly play with the nations, perhaps it was the favor of God, for more than 160 years, our country fought almost every year, but every attack was overcome, although there were occasional defeats, but no one could stop the rise of my Yanting.

Until the throne passed to my imperial brother, the original three great powers, the waves were destroyed, and the sea frontier was divided by the countries, only the entire south of the Linxian Kingdom has now been occupied, and only the three counties in the north are left to survive.

As far as the eye can see, almost half of the world is my Yanting Land!"

When Zhu Yue said this, her mood had changed to her previous calmness, and her eyes were full of pride, as if she was proud of being a member of the Yanting royal family.

In a short period of time, Zhuyue depicted how a small country went from being bullied to being the king of the world today, even if Dongfang Xuan, who was born in an ancient famous family and had little interest in secular rights, could not help but be ignited, and the previous indifference disappeared without a trace.

"That's right, I've heard my father talk about the history of Yanting Kingdom, it's really as you said, but what do you mean by this? Do you want to recruit me?" After a moment of excitement, the noble-born Dongfang Xuan came back to his senses for the first time and asked what he thought was the key question.

"Huh~" Taketsuki chuckled, then shook her head.

"No, I'm not done yet. What I just said to you is true, but it's only superficial."

"On the surface, could it be that there is any crisis in the Yanting Kingdom now?" Dongfang Xuan was surprised, and his thoughts turned to guess.

"The crisis can't be talked about yet, but you also know that at the moment, my country is fighting on an unprecedented multi-front, and my imperial brother personally led 100,000 troops to fight against the remnants of the Linxian army.

And the old general Tuoba led 200,000 Tenglong Iron Army to block the 500,000 allied troops of the four eastern countries on the Aoki Plain, and recently received a secret report that the northern martial arts seemed to be in turmoil, and it happened that at this time, the barbarians of the Li Kingdom, who had not moved for many years, suddenly assembled on a large scale on the edge of our border, and their intentions were unknown."

"So the purpose of your trip is not to apprentice, but to ......."

"Actually, apprenticeship is just a disguise, my purpose, one is to use the identity of the disciple of the Ziyang Sword Sect to integrate into the northern martial arts to inquire about the cause of the turmoil, and the other is to use my identity as a princess to sit in Hengzhou, and unite with the Nangong family to guard the north, and share the worries of the imperial brother.

This third is a private matter concerning my royal family, and if this can be done, I can retire directly."

"Forgive me for being abrupt, is the private matter that the princess said about that person?" Dongfang Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Ziyang Peak, as if he knew something.

Zhu Yue's expression was slightly startled, but it was fleeting, and she chuckled and said, "Xuanxiao Palace is worthy of being a famous family in ancient times, and even my royal secrets can be known" There was a slight annoyance in his tone, and seven points of helplessness.

Dongfang Xuan heard Zhuyue's blame, and waved his hand again and again to explain, "The princess misunderstood, this matter was overheard by my father when he was talking to a senior, and not everyone knows about it in my Xuanxiao Palace."

"Forget it, after all, there are many people who know about this matter, but I also hope that the young master of the East will help me keep this secret, so as not to anger him when the time comes" He "We are not happy" Zhuyue admonished with a serious face.

"Don't worry, princess, after all, I'm here to apprentice, and if I offend the master, the end will naturally not be much better, so you don't have to worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
