Chapter 425 Strong walls and clear fields
"Strong walls and clear fields?"

The two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators sitting beside Luan Xuan were somewhat confused.

They understand the need to "fortify the northern border," but how can the wilderness be cleared?
Outside the Great Wall in the north, due to the fiery heat of the Yanyang Mountains and the poisonous miasma of the Yuhe River, the population is not large, but it still numbers in the millions.

Although they are all located near the northern border of Xinjiang, the clearing work involving so many people cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Moreover, with the Central Domain's army assembled and poised to break through at any moment, isn't it too late to clear the land now?
Moreover, judging from the golden ball that Luanxuan spat out, it wasn't even a World Treasure. Could it be that they're going to relocate the population to the northern border region?
What's the point of doing this?

The two Nascent Soul cultivators voiced their confusion, leaving the rest of the group equally bewildered.

Li Wushou, who was residing in the Burial Autumn Divine Palace, gazed at the two golden spheres and had a slight understanding in his heart.

Others couldn't see it clearly, but Li Wushou could see it perfectly.

The golden sphere appears to be empty inside, yet it constantly shimmers with a golden glow.

These lights are not the radiance of treasures, but rather the reflections of divine spirits fluttering their wings, invisible to the naked eye.

Back in Wufang City, Li Wushou had already experienced the strangeness of this thing.

Although this sparrow was incomparable to the sparrow released by Zhu Liuli before, it appeared more mysterious, and even the two Nascent Soul cultivators could not see its origin.

However, for Li Wushou, whose soul had undergone a transformation and whose primordial spirit had improved, seeing through these soul sparrows was not difficult at all.

Therefore, he saw through the secrets of the two golden balls at a glance.

He even immediately discerned that the divine sparrow did not originate from Luanxuan, but from his old friend, Zhu Liuli, whose temperament had drastically changed!

Because of their past interactions, he was extremely sensitive to the unique aura of Zhu Liuli's divine soul, the Sparrow.

Although the auras are quite different, the underlying characteristics have not changed much.

So, at this moment, in addition to Luan Xuan and others who are openly present, there are also Zhu Liuli and a group of direct descendants of Sparrow God Mountain lurking in the shadows guarding the northern border.
Li Wushou couldn't be sure, but he did understand a bit about what Luanxuan meant by "fortifying the walls and clearing the fields".

But if what he thinks is true, then Luanxuan or Fenglingdao are really ruthless!
Just then, Luan Xuan, who had heard the two Nascent Soul cultivators asking questions, raised his hand and held the two golden balls in his palm.

Looking around at the bewildered crowd, he spoke loudly:
"The purpose of clearing the fields is to cut off the supply. Although several million people is not a large number, if the Central Region were to carry out a blood sacrifice, it would be a huge problem. Therefore, these people cannot be left to the other side for nothing."

Within these two golden spheres lies the primordial spirit of the Sparrow Child, a direct descendant of the Sparrow Lord and a powerful being of the Glazed Realm. This spirit can silently reside within the souls of ordinary people, the divine souls of cultivators, and even the primordial spirits of those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage.

"hiss!"

Upon hearing Luan Xuan's explanation of the two golden balls, Li Wushou thought to himself, "As expected," while everyone present gasped in surprise.

They all knew that the Sparrow Lord possessed the ability to devour an entire city in an instant.

But the others on Sparrow God Mountain had never heard of anyone with such abilities.

The ability to parasitize millions of people means that this powerful being of the Glazed Realm could also devour an entire city in an instant.

This is the true successor!
Many of them had never actually heard of Zhu Liuli, but that did not diminish their awe of her.

Whether it's status or ability!
Luanxuan was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction.

Even though they are all direct descendants of the Sparrow Master in Sparrow God Mountain, their relationships vary in closeness.

Zhu Liuli, who belongs to the same lineage of the Inner Sparrow as Que Zun, is naturally closer to Que Zun.

Therefore, many of the elders regarded Zhu Liuli as the future successor of the Sparrow Lord, believing that he was the most likely to overcome the hurdle of the Great Venerable Realm.

Luanxuan was one of them, but many others didn't care, which was none of Luanxuan's business.

This invasion of the Central Domain is a great opportunity for Zhu Liuli to prove herself.

Luanxuan naturally supports it!

Therefore, they obtained Zhu Liuli's primordial spirit, Zique, and established the policy of "fortifying the walls and clearing the fields".

Nodding slightly, Luan Xuan addressed the crowd:
“I need Sha Xiu and Ma Feng, each with two people, to plant the primordial spirit sparrows on the people outside the northern border before sunset tomorrow. In this way, as long as the Central Region uses the people as food, or as a blood sacrifice, or even just passes by, we can severely damage the Central Region.”

Sha Xiu and Ma Feng, who were sitting on the left and right sides of Luan Xuan respectively, were both powerful cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Upon hearing this, their expressions were shocked.

This method terrified them even more than when they first heard that the Great Venerable had instantly devoured an entire city.

Moreover, after Luanxuan's introduction, they kept staring at the two golden balls, but no matter how they looked at them, they were empty and they couldn't see any trace of the primordial spirit sparrow.

This filled them with both fear and relief. Fortunately, the powerful Liuli was not from the Central Region; otherwise, they might not have even known how they died.

If Li Wushou knew what the two were thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud. Because from the moment Luanxuan took out the golden ball, a large number of primordial spirit sparrows had already filled the council hall, silently and imperceptibly lurking in everyone's primordial spirit, soul, and heart, following the fluctuations of everyone's divine sense.

Even in the case of Zang Qiu, Li Wushou's primordial spirit was not afraid of the sparrow, so he ignored it and let the primordial spirit sparrow lie dormant to avoid alerting it.

In the entire council hall, only Luan Xuan was completely clean!

Luanxuan was clearly aware of this.

On the other side, following Luanxuan's appointment, Shaxiu and Mafeng solemnly stood up and carefully accepted the golden ball.

Then, the two of them turned their gazes to Zang Qiu at the same time.

Both of them were concerned about Luanxuan's order to each lead a team. Zang Qiu, who was capable of reversing the Nascent Soul stage and tearing apart Corpse Three Paths, naturally became their first choice.

So they extended olive branches to Zang Qiu one after another.

This made the other True Lords, who were unaware of the situation, even more confused. Although they did not want to offend Zang Qiu, they also did not want to see this merit slip away before their eyes.

After all, killing people through this primordial spirit sparrow is much easier than fighting on your own.

Before anyone could volunteer, Luan Xuan had already started assigning tasks.

"This time, Zang Qiu will go with Sha Xiu first."

Upon hearing this, Sha Xiu's face lit up with joy, while Ma Feng and the other True Lords, though somewhat resentful, could only bow their heads and accept it.

Before long, Sha Xiu and Ma Feng selected three more people, and two teams were quickly formed.

Luanxuan offered no guidance on when the two teams would carry out the "clearing out" plan, but Shaxiu and Mafeng were rather impatient.

After all, there are already some scouts from the Central Domain within the Sealed Spirit Path territory. The longer it drags on, the greater the chance of the Central Domain breaking through. The sooner the "clearing out" is completed, the more at ease we will feel.

Otherwise, encountering a powerful figure from the central region would only bring trouble and danger.

Luanxuan had no objection to this, but said to Zangqiu with a hint of regret:
"I had planned to hold a banquet tonight to introduce you to your colleagues, but now things are a bit..."

Upon hearing this, Zang Qiu solemnly stood up and replied to Luan Xuan:

"Grand Master, you flatter me. With a formidable enemy at hand, it is Zang Qiu's honor to contribute to the Sealing Spirit Path. As for getting to know colleagues? If we all achieve sufficient merit, then who in the world wouldn't know you?"

Luan Xuan was slightly taken aback, then a smile bloomed on his face.

"Hahaha, Zang Qiu speaks well! So what if the Central Region has two Venerables? If the Sparrow Venerable is not afraid, neither are we. Since the Central Region wants to cause trouble, then let's kill! Let's kill until the Central Region is terrified, and the war will end on its own!"

When the conversation got heated, Luanxuan's murderous intent became fully apparent.

The crowd below, deeply moved and equally excited, rose to their feet and echoed:

"kill!"

In an instant, a terrifying killing intent shot straight into the sky above Jiangbei City, drawing the attention of the other disciples of the sect leaders.

They were somewhat surprised that Luanxuan could mobilize such high fighting spirit so quickly, and then they even more quickly relayed the Sparrow Lord's decree to their subordinates.

While everyone was busy making merry, Sha Xiu and Ma Feng, each with two True Lords, quietly slipped out of Jiangbei City.

Few people paid attention to all of this, but Wu Jiu, who had been keeping a close eye on Zang Qiu, received the news immediately after returning to his residence and instructing his subordinates.

Before he could react, Luan Xuan had already forcefully arrived in the backyard of his mansion.

While the Wujiu tribe remained completely unaware, Luanxuan solemnly warned them:
"I am quite satisfied with Zang Qiu. During the battle with the Central Domain, I do not want to see you targeting Zang Qiu, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The crow was filled with resentment and anger.

He didn't understand. Even if a True Monarch could take down Shi Santong by surprise, he was at most comparable to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

In less than an hour, how did the other party manage to satisfy Luan Xuan to such an extent?

He even went so far as to personally warn himself?
He couldn't help but think that Luan Xuan was deliberately picking a fight with him!

Gazing at Luan Xuan, Wu Jiu wanted a reasonable explanation from him.

But Luanxuan wouldn't budge an inch, simply staring back at him silently.

After a long pause, Wu Jiu suppressed his emotions and gritted his teeth, saying:
"understood!"
