As a lord, I was forced to farm

Jiang Ran said, "That's how the industry is. As a newcomer to the Spirit Shadow Drama, this is all the appearance fee I get. It's only because I think Sect Leader Li is a rare master of the Transcendent Realm that I raised the fee to 100,000."

"I earnestly request Sect Leader Li to accept this task. If a transcendent master like Sect Leader Li, who has reached the Transcendent Realm, were to appear in 'The Legend of Chasing Clouds,' it would surely become a sensation throughout the entire Cangmiao Continent. Perhaps some moviegoers would even see Sect Leader Li's charisma, and perhaps countless geniuses would be willing to join the Heavenly Dragon Palace. For the Heavenly Dragon Palace, this would also be a good thing."

Jiang Ran's voice echoed in the room.

To answer or not to answer?
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Yang Guiying's Adam's apple twitched slightly.

I can't believe His Highness the Prince would do something like this.

indeed.

Using the Spirit Shadow Drama as an excuse does not violate the ironclad rules of the Heavenly Dragon Palace!
But Li Qingxu wasn't stupid; he knew what accepting this mission meant.

Tick ​​tock.

Yang Guiying discovered that her body was covered in sweat.

After a long time.

I don’t know how long it took.

It seems like not much time has passed.

Li Qingxu suddenly laughed a few times.

“A ghost drama, indeed, is interesting.” Li Qingxu grasped the scroll. “It’s just that I have never filmed a ghost drama before. If I have made a mistake, I hope the head of the ‘Chasing Clouds’ troupe will not be too angry.”

It's done!

Jiang Ran smiled faintly, "Newcomers to Lingying Drama all start like this."

Jiang Ran finished her tea in one gulp, tossed over 50,000 spirit crystals, and said, "This is the deposit for the mission. I'll pay the balance after the mission is completed."

After saying this, he clasped his hands in farewell and took his leave.

"..."

Watching Jiang Ran and Yang Guiying's departing figures.

Several elders from Tianlong Palace hurriedly stepped forward, "Sect Leader..."

Li Qingxu reached out his hand, "I know what you want to say."

"Actually, we have no choice," Li Qingxu said. "Are we really going to watch one of the three provincial capitals acquire the Illusion Lake Secret Realm?"

The people of Tianlong Palace trembled.

Yes.

If a nation-level territory were to emerge in the Land of Clouds Grief, given the personalities of the provincial kings of these three territories, it's unlikely that any of them would treat these sects kindly.

"The Prince of Dasu's scheme is truly remarkable."

Sect Leader Li suddenly spoke.

The steps have all been built.

"In the future, if other forces or people from the three major provincial capitals come to ask, we don't need to feel guilty. After all, I only accepted a task to film a spirit shadow drama."

Li Qingxu smiled, looked at the location of Da Su, and said, "Perhaps, Da Su really can get through this smoothly."

……

Next, Jiang Ran visited several sects that had previously had dealings with Da Su.

However, not all sects can remain calm and composed when facing the three major provincial capitals, just like Tianlong Palace.

Among them, Jiang Ran, the sect leader of the Blood Wolf Sect, was not even allowed to enter and was directly invited back by the sect disciples.

Yang Guiying's eyes were red. "Your Highness, you have been wronged."

"It's normal for them to be afraid."

As Jiang Ran spoke, she glanced deeply at the Blood Wolf Sect's headquarters, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

But this trip was not entirely fruitless.

Although Lan Ningzong and Yuhezong were unwilling to appear directly on the battlefield, they secretly provided Da Su with some equipment and pills free of charge.

Clearly, they also did not want the three major provincial capitals to obtain the Illusory Lake Secret Realm.

However, as a minor sect, they lacked the confidence to appear on the battlefield. Jiang Ran appreciated their sentiments.

……

Inside the Purple Cloud Sect.

Jiang Xiaowen, dressed in fiery red armor, stood in front of the sect's training ground.

in front of you.

All the disciples of the Ziyun Sect gathered together.

The sect leader, Luo Hun, and several elders of the sect were also present.

But Luo Hun and the others didn't come voluntarily; they were frightened by Jiang Xiaowen's commotion.

"Xiaowen, what are you doing?" Luo Huan asked, his eyes wide.

"Master, don't you know what I'm going to do?" Jiang Xiaowen, who was usually so cheerful, looked serious.

"I want to form the Purple Cloud Volunteer Army and fight alongside the Prince!"

"Nonsense!" Luo Hun roared. "The Purple Cloud Sect is a sect; how can you act recklessly like this?"

“It’s not about acting recklessly.” Jiang Xiaowen’s youthful face was already filled with murderous intent. “Master! In this torrent, can our Ziyun Sect remain unscathed?”

"And what's more!" Jiang Xiaowen shouted angrily, "How many of the disciples of the Ziyun Sect are actually commoners of Dasu?!"

"Everyone, step forward!!"

On the training ground, almost everyone stepped forward.

More than 20,000 people, all in perfect unison, their footsteps deafening.

Luo Hun's eyes widened slightly, shocked by what he saw.

With red eyes, Jiang Xiaowen addressed the Ziyun Sect disciples below, "Although you haven't been with the Great Su for many years, think about how many times you've received protection from the Great Su and how many benefits you've gained from it!"

"When the sect was in disarray, it was the Prince of Dasu who discovered that the former sect leader was doing something inhumane!"

"His Highness the Prince took in the Ziyun Sect, which was being besieged by other sects, thus preventing the sect from being annihilated!!"

"As newcomers to the Great Abode, disciples of the sect have never been discriminated against by the Great Abode. Everyone has been treated equally! You have received land in the Great Abode, and cultivators receive essence crystals and spirit crystals unconditionally from the government office every month!"

"Those precious ancient medicinal baths for tempering the body, Da Su just let me soak in them whenever he wanted. I pat my conscience and ask myself if I have received Da Su's blessing or benefit from him!"

Jiang Xiaowen practically roared, "If you don't have one, step forward!"

No one moved.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaowen gradually calmed down.

She said to Luo Hun, "Master, I have selfish motives. I have two selfish motives."

Looking at Jiang Xiaowen, who seemed to have matured considerably, Luo Huan was slightly dazed.

She said, "The first thing is to help my sister. I will always help my sister to conquer the world."

“The second one is the Ziyun Sect,” she said earnestly. “I want to make the Ziyun Sect the largest sect in the world.”

"If we can help my sister and His Highness the Prince overcome this crisis, I dare to ask His Highness to move the entire Ziyun Sect to the Lingze Islands."

“Master, you’ve been to the Lingze Islands, so you know what a blessed land it is.” Jiang Xiaowen stared into Luo Huan’s eyes. “It’s a place that can bring about a complete transformation for the entire Ziyun Sect.”

Luo Hun's heart skipped a beat.

……

There are about three days left before the million-strong army arrives at the city.

On the Lingze Islands.

Fei Xuan and Mo Sheng both achieved breakthroughs.

A pale blue butterfly fluttered its wings, creating a ripple that affected the wind direction for hundreds of kilometers around.

The wind, the golden stars, and the faint gray energy transformed into a white cocoon that enveloped it.

After an unknown amount of time, night quietly fell, and the butterfly's compound eyes suddenly opened. The light emanating from within seemed to materialize, and the energy cocoon was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks!
In an instant, the cocoon turned into dust and scattered.

In the dim light, the figure of a petite and shapely young woman came into view. (End of Chapter)
