A hint of surprise appeared on the Seventh Prince's originally angry face.
He truly hadn't expected that Tianwang Village would give him such a pleasant surprise. The strength of the village chief was secondary; the main thing was that after seizing Prince Lie's territory, Tianwang Village could definitely be ranked among the top-tier forces in the buffer zone.
He glanced at Zhao Yu beside him and said, "Immediately notify the people stationed in the northern frontier that they must bring Tianwang Village under their control no matter what price they ask for."
The Seventh Prince, staring at the Tianwang Village crowd in the dazzling mirror, seemed to have spotted a treasure.
As for the people of the Fallen Leaf Plain, apart from the tens of thousands who fled, the rest surrendered directly. They were originally bandits, and they would follow whoever was the strongest.
This is also the law of this chaotic land.
By the time all the prisoners had been gathered together, it was almost dawn.
In the camp established by Zhang Ke and his men, a master of the Qi Refining Realm who was in charge of guarding the camp surrendered without hesitation after being surrounded by the large army.
Lu Yuan rode his warhorse, surveying the chaotic battlefield.
In last night's battle, apart from a few top experts, not many people actually died on either side.
The main problem was that after Zhang Ke's death, the others surrendered too quickly.
After glancing at the camp ahead, Lu Yuan said to Yang Xiao, "Take inventory of the supplies. Prince Lie is here, isn't he? He provided a lot of supplies. Take inventory of them all."
"Yes, ma'am!" Yang Xiao said excitedly.
This battle was exhilarating, and with the supplies they have, their strength can be rapidly increased once again.
After Yang Xiao left.
After giving Zhou He a wink, Lu Yuan pulled the latter to a secluded spot.
He took out a token and said, "Go back immediately, take this token, go to the Northern Army camp, and transfer the troops out for me. Have them stationed within the pass area of the Kuye Plain."
"You intend to wipe out all those who escaped from Prince Lie's command?"
"They fled towards the interior of the pass, and they were bound to enter the pass. Because of the Prince Lie's Mansion, no one dared to stop them, thinking that this would allow them to escape the attack from Tianwangzhai."
However, we must wipe them out.
These people are a menace if left alive.
"If we don't kill them all, the Prince Lie's Mansion will come back with a vengeance, and they'll target us first." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.
Zhou He was startled: "But in doing so, we will completely offend Prince Lie."
"If we don't kill those people, will we offend him? If he runs into us, he won't let us off either. We're currently in a buffer zone in the Northern Frontier, and neither the Dayong nor the Northern Barbarian leaders are allowed to enter."
While neither of them intended to continue the war, he focused on developing his power.
"Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, we may not have another chance," Lu Yuan said calmly.
He calculated that the high-ranking officials of Dayong would not dare to get involved personally, otherwise not only would the Northern Barbarians not agree, but even Dayong would not.
At present, Dayong has just made peace with the Northern Barbarians and the Western Rong.
The latter, in particular, is that the large army stationed on the border has not yet retreated.
Therefore, the Great Yong Dynasty absolutely does not want to have any further conflicts with any other forces.
Several dynasties checked and balanced each other.
They are all very sensitive, which is why the Northern Barbarians' national strength has declined so much. Otherwise, the Great Yong would probably be even more cautious.
It should be noted that in the past, the Northern Barbarians were always the greatest enemy of the Great Yong Dynasty.
"Okay, I'll go and mobilize the troops right away," Zhou He replied.
Lu Yuan nodded.
Then, Zhou He steered his warhorse and headed off into the distance.
As for Lu Yuan, he slowly entered the camp on the withered leaf plain.
Just after sitting down by a campfire, Wu Han ran over and said, "We've also taken over the outposts on the trade route. Our income will almost double. Plus, with these tens of thousands of troops gathered, Tianwang Village's forces will soon reach 200,000."
"So you need to improve your strength. Although I'm here to keep things under control right now, I won't be here all the time. With your talent, once you reach the Innate Realm, you shouldn't be powerless against Yu Xu."
With the addition of this army under my command, where in the world can't I go?
Next, besides expanding your territory to the surrounding areas, the most important thing is to increase your strength.
"Yes, I have already achieved the Great Perfection of True Essence. After a short period of further refinement, I will try to break through to the Perfection stage. If the progress is fast, reaching the Qi Refining Realm before the end of the year should not be a problem," Wu Han nodded.
This time, the rebellion of several innate individuals made him feel a sense of crisis.
Although they had a large army under their command, their strength was inferior to others, and they would inevitably be hampered at times. After all, this was a mountain stronghold, unlike the imperial court, which had a complete system.
People speak according to their rank; in this place, you get things done based on your abilities.
It was only because Lu Yuan was there, especially since he had displayed such formidable strength this time, that he had intimidated everyone.
Otherwise, even if the tens of thousands of people on the Fallen Leaf Plain surrendered, he might not dare to accept them directly.
With Wu Han's strength, he can at most make those in the Qi Condensation Realm obey him; he's still a bit out of his depth at the Innate Realm.
"That's fine, but above all else, the most important thing is to protect yourself and stay alive."
"Um."
Wu Han responded.
At this moment, although he was the leader of a large stronghold managing tens of thousands of people, he was still the same as before in front of Lu Yuan.
I like to hear other people's opinions on everything.
When Lu Yuan was around, I unconsciously became too lazy to use my brain.
It was past noon.
Yang Xiao ordered his men to carry over several boxes.
The contents inside seem quite heavy.
After Lu Yuan glanced at it, Yang Xiao hurriedly said, "Chief, there's too much gold and silver, as well as too many pills for those below the Innate Realm. I didn't bring them over; they're all piled up over there."
These are elixirs and rare herbs for those at the innate level and above, and there's one more good item.
After Yang Xiao finished speaking, the box was opened.
There were indeed a lot of things inside.
Yang Xiao rubbed his hands together and said, "There are thirty boxes of Innate Pills, more than ten Innate Fruits, which are rare and precious treasures, and more than thirty boxes of Void-Controlling Pills, which are used by those in the Void-Controlling Realm, as well as twenty-eight rare and precious plants."
Besides these, we also found this, which appears to be a storage ring, found on Zhang Ke's body.
Lu Yuan's gaze was instantly drawn to an antique-looking ring in front of him.
After taking it and injecting true essence into it, I found that it was filled with hundreds of spirit stones.
Lu Yuan had heard that the upper echelons of the imperial court used spirit stones as currency to settle transactions, but he never expected it to be true.
Moreover, holding a spirit stone in your hand during cultivation can increase your cultivation speed several times over.
This time, I'm not lacking in cultivation supplies.
He waved his hand, putting a box of Innate Pills and several Innate Fruits into his ring, along with roughly the same number of Void Control Pills.
Then, looking at Yang Xiao, he said, "Send the rest of these things to the main stronghold's warehouse to enhance the stronghold's strength. How much of the other seized items were there?"
"Tens of millions of taels of silver, three thousand sets of armor, nearly one hundred thousand pills for entering the country, and approximately one hundred thousand each for bone forging, tendon refining, and body purification."
"Ten thousand True Essence Pills and Ten Thousand罡气 Pills each."
Yang Xiao became more and more excited as he spoke, because with these things, Tianwang Village's strength would definitely take a big leap forward.
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, feeling fortunate about his decision. Now that they had territory and recruited men, the next step for these nobles was to train their subordinates.
They will not lack supplies.
Therefore, it can quickly distance itself from grassroots mountain villages like Tianwangzhai.
Finally, a complete and utter crushing victory was achieved.
It's good that we acted quickly now; otherwise, in another six months, all these pills would have been digested, and Tianwang Village would have no chance of winning against them, even if he were still there.
It was impossible for him to single-handedly cut through an army of 100,000.
Even if it were him, or even if he were to reach the Gathering Core stage, the Divine Palace wouldn't be able to help.
Excessive killing can invite divine punishment.
Once upon a time, on this continent, there was an invincible general who single-handedly annihilated an army of hundreds of thousands. On that very day, divine punishment descended and obliterated him.
Unless your physical body is strong enough to withstand divine punishment and you are confident that you can resist it.
Or he might be carrying some kind of protective treasure; otherwise, if he were to kill too many people by himself, he would immediately attract the power of heaven and earth.
This is why many experts, despite having the power to destroy a city, insist on launching a large-scale attack.
Not only because the opposing side also has a corresponding powerful figure, but also because they dare not face the divine punishment.
Moreover, Lu Yuan's true strength was indeed insufficient to defeat 100,000 people on his own.
Even if one is at the Qi Gathering stage, it would be quite good if one could rival 30,000 armored soldiers.
With 100,000, it's likely that only those at the Divine Origin Realm can come and go freely.
As for the gathering of a million-strong army, no one in the world can match it. Any expert will be pulled into this crowd and eventually be worn down to death.
Now that these elixirs have entered Tianwang Village, they can be gathered together to build up an elite force.
In Lu Yuan's view, the resources sent by the Prince Lie's Mansion were enough to build two or three thousand tendon refiners, or even filth refiners.
Another point is that there are quite a few noble territories nearby.
Recently, resources have been being transported in large quantities.
Tianwangzhai will regret it if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen themselves.
Therefore, Lu Yuan planned to take advantage of the opportunity to inspect the northern border fortresses and do his best to lead Tianwang Village to conquer enough territory.
Sufficient supplies were seized.
During the day, he led the Northern Patrol Army to inspect the fortresses, and at night, after setting up camp, he went to plunder beyond the Great Wall.
After completing the tour, Tianwang Village's strength should see a significant improvement.
After thinking about this, he looked at Wu Han and said, "You discuss this matter with Yang Xiao. I'll leave this afternoon."
Next, he put a Primordial Pill into his mouth.
Now, he is just one step away from achieving the Innate Perfection realm. After taking the elixir and reaching the Perfection realm, he can directly break through to the Void Control realm by utilizing rare and precious treasures.
Having reached this level of cultivation, in this buffer zone, aside from other factors, ordinary people really are no match for him.
Even if a Core Formation cultivator were to come, Lu Yuan was confident he could kill them here.
The next moment, his entire body was filled with a rich energy.
The innate energy becomes increasingly abundant at this time.
In his hand, a spirit stone appeared, shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, as Lu Yuan's divine essence manifested in each realm, his own talent was also growing at any time, so he began to absorb spirit stones.
The speed is quite fast.
About an hour later.
"call!"
Lu Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air.
I felt much more relaxed, and then a system notification appeared in my mind.
