The Emperor is Above

Chapter 405 Are they afraid that I will take action?
"Boy Yi, I believe in your ability. There will be no problem in defending the twelve cities in the northern border!"

Old Man Shi nodded solemnly, then shook his head slightly and sighed, "The Dragon City Mound not only controls the north and south of Yunling, but also cuts the entire Yunling into two parts, east and west.

I originally planned to use absolute force to subdue the Stone Spirit and the Blue Flower Tree Spirit, which would not only allow me to take control of the entire Yunling Mountains and gain a strategic advantage over the Xianyu Tribe, but would also allow the State of Xing to gain two more first-class warriors.

But in recent days I have thought about it carefully, and I am afraid that doing so may not be appropriate. Mountain elves and tree monsters have always been stubborn and do not like to be restrained or forced. What if the two of them would rather die than surrender?

Even if I help you take back the Dragon City, you will still have to face the invasion of the Yunling beasts and the wilderness people, so after thinking about it, it is best to negotiate with them."

"Hehe, Old Man Shi, you may not know this! The Qinghua tree spirit is the disciple of the willow tree totem of the Willow Tribe. It even asked me to bring a letter to Qinghua."

Qing Yi couldn't stop smiling, "Even if the spirits don't take the master-disciple relationship that seriously, it is still a relationship after all.

At that time, with the threat of a Saint Realm expert like you, as long as the Stone Spirit and the Blue Flower Tree Spirit are not fools, they will definitely not choose to tear their faces apart and will definitely accept your kindness. "

"Oh?"

Old Man Shi said in astonishment, "In previous years, I only knew that the willow tree totem of the Jiliu tribe was extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to have such a background? Now that you have this relationship with it, I feel much more relieved."

The two men determined their attitude towards contact with Shi Ling and Qinghua. Qing Yi carefully inspected the northernmost fortress of Longcheng Fortress again and had a rough repair plan in his mind. Then he returned to Longcheng Fortress with Old Man Shi.

"Ow—"

The giant apes in the fortress had just mustered up the courage to run out to have fun, but when they saw the ferocious monster coming back, they were so scared that they fled back into the fortress.

However, this time they regained some of their courage, and they continued to roar while hiding in the fortress, and even though they were afraid, they did not hide their hostility.

"Haha, you are the only one who can deal with them!" Old Man Shi couldn't stop smiling, "But if you don't beat them eight or ten times, they won't admit defeat in their hearts!"

"Hehe, if you're not convinced, there'll be plenty of time to clean up later!" Qing Yi replied with a smile, then looked around with a vigilant look, "Huh? Old Man Shi, I think something is wrong. Why are there so many ferocious birds around the Dragon City mound?"

In just half an hour's round trip, at least thousands of ferocious birds gathered in the Dragon City mound, including giant golden eagles with a wingspan of ten feet, bald-headed iron-winged vultures, compact and smooth peregrine falcons, and countless groups of dragon birds.

“Chirp—”

"Wow—"

"Wow--"

Above the sky, on the tops of the mountains, and on the treetops, countless birds are chirping, revealing a strong sense of rejection and expulsion.

"Why else do you think Shi Ling and Qing Hua are feared by others? Why are they able to firmly control Yunling?" Old Man Shi said with emotion in his eyes.
“Whenever outsiders invade Yunling, Longque, as Yunling’s scout, will report the news everywhere, and the strange beasts and fierce birds scattered throughout Yunling will gather together to form the first fighting force.

You just saw a large number of ferocious birds gathering in the sky, but didn't notice the groups of strange beasts lurking below the forest? Those guys are not good people either."

"I was wondering why the forest below feels so eerily quiet! Should we just wait here?" Qing Yi frowned slightly. Even with his good eyesight, he didn't notice the strange beast lurking below the forest.

Only after opening the divine power of the third eye did he truly discover that there were many strange beasts hidden in secret places, including black panthers, snow pythons, ice wolves, and white tigers of different species.

"I have entered Yunling several times in previous years. Soon after arriving in Dragon City, Shi Ling and Qing Hua would appear here. Just wait patiently for a while!"

Old Man Shi spoke to comfort him, "The speed of the dragon bird reporting news is very fast. Since so many strange beasts and fierce birds have arrived, it is estimated that Shi Ling and Qing Hua will appear soon."

"Chirp--" The number of birds in the surrounding mountains and forests is increasing, especially large groups of dragonbirds gathering together, as if the trees in the mountains and forests are full of red flowers and are particularly bright.

Even though the Snow Owl was a first-grade ferocious bird and the four Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures were second-grade ferocious birds, they all looked extremely solemn as there were too many ferocious birds gathered around them.

"Look over there, Old Man Shi. There are at least hundreds of Golden Mountain Giant Eagles and Giant Vultures above the fifth rank. I heard that the founder of the Great Shen Dynasty established a flying cavalry composed of Golden Mountain Giant Eagles!"

Qing Yi suggested excitedly, "When the Dragon City is stabilized in the future, we can also try to build a flying cavalry like this! Wouldn't it be much better than the current flying eagle guards in the capital?"

"Xu Zhengjia will definitely be angry with you after hearing this!"

Old Man Shi sighed and smiled helplessly, "Exotic beasts and fierce birds have always been unruly and difficult to tame. The king has spent a lot of effort and countless costs to form the Flying Eagle Guards.

The Golden Mountain Giant Eagle and the Giant Eagle are indeed relatively easy to tame fierce birds, and they are also quite powerful, but it is extremely difficult to form such a flying cavalry."

Even though Old Man Shi broke through the shackles of the first level and became a powerful saint, he was still helpless when facing some things, as force could not solve all problems.

Qing Yi wanted to establish a flying cavalry composed of Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures, but the strength of his private army was too far apart, and the number of Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures was relatively small, so it would be more realistic to have a Golden Eagle Flying Cavalry.

"What happened today?"

Old Man Shi had been waiting for a long time and was getting a little impatient. When he saw some second- and third-grade ferocious birds with ferocious eyes, crying loudly and trying to attack, he immediately raised his brows and glanced at them fiercely.

Even a slight bit of the might of a strong saint was enough to intimidate these restless beasts and birds, but they still lingered and refused to leave, which seemed very abnormal.

This made Qing Yi's expression change, and he thought softly: "It is possible that something unexpected happened in Yunling, and Shi Ling and Qing Hua can't leave for the time being; it is also possible that Shi Ling and Qing Hua knew that you had advanced to the Saint Realm, and they dared not show up in person."

"Oh—ah—"

"Oh—ah—"

As a loud crane cry was heard in the distance, Old Man Shi's solemn expression finally turned into a smile, "Finally, someone has come who can talk."

Qing Yi looked in the direction of the crane's cry and saw a huge white crane with a wingspan of seven or eight feet. It gracefully flew over the mountains and forests and slowly landed.

The slender crane neck, long crane legs, white feathers, and inky tail feathers all highlight its extraordinary temperament. Its appearance alone is far superior to that of the Great Wilderness Dragon Vulture.

Although he envied the elegance of this third-grade white crane, Qing Yi kept comforting himself: if there was a fight, the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagle would be more powerful after all.

"He Qianxue, the chief of the White Crane tribe under the Mountain Master, pays homage to Old Man Shi, the Grand Master who protects the country of Xing!"

On the back of the graceful white crane, there was a stunning woman riding. She looked to be only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a tall figure, black hair and snow-white skin.

Qing Yi was a little surprised by her outfit. She wore a snow-white rabbit fur bra on top, a lambskin skirt that was a foot and a half long, and a pair of leather boots that covered her entire calves, revealing a pair of white long legs that were fascinating.

Even the people in the wilderness would eventually feel cold. The woman was wearing a white crane cloak, which added a lot of warmth to her. Her every frown and smile was extremely moving.

"So you are the leader of the He clan. I was promoted to the Saint Realm a few years ago!" Old Man Shi had been to Yunling several times and was undoubtedly acquainted with He Qianxue. He smiled thoughtfully and said,
"I originally thought that Shi Ling and Qing Hua would appear this time, but I didn't expect that only a little girl like you would come out. Are they afraid that I would take action?"
