Cang Li and Fu Hongxi also recounted their respective campaigns against Mizhi County and Yaoxiang County.

Unlike the wealthy and powerful Zang Hai, the two lacked supernatural powers and talismans. They had attempted to kill the governors of the two prefectures, but both attempts ended in failure.

Ultimately, we had to start from the periphery and gradually push inwards.

It was effective, but the harassment by the two prefectural governors slowed the progress considerably, and sometimes even resulted in losses.

Just two days ago, he went mad and left the prefecture to go to "Yongzhou Prefecture" to celebrate the birthday of the prefect, allowing the two of them to conquer a large area of ​​territory.

They currently occupy approximately three cities and have reaped considerable gains.

After speaking, the three turned to look at Zhu Yu, who appeared relaxed. Zang Hai narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly and said with a smile:

"We've been talking about ourselves. Senior Brother Zhu, you must have gained quite a bit, haven't you?..."

Zhu Yu was about to say something when he suddenly froze, then his eyes flashed with surprise, excitement, and joy. Forcibly suppressing his happiness, he nodded and said:

"It's alright."

Cang Li was observant and kept a close eye on Zhu Yu's expression, so she naturally noticed the complex emotions that flashed through his eyes.

Just as she was about to ask a question, a grand idea entered her mind, and the clear voice of "True Lord Qingping" resounded.

"The Yinming has occupied a prefecture, bestowing upon it a thousand 'Sources,' a hundred catties of 'Five Elements Essence,' and a spiritual artifact. Furthermore, without losing its territory, it receives daily gifts..."

at the same time.

Zang Hai, Fu Hongxi, and Shangguan Dazu, who was conquering other territories, along with several other Foundation Establishment True Persons from Qingping who had been promoted from subordinate Foundation Establishment, also received messages from "True Lord Qingping".

A certain prefecture in Yuzhou.

Upon receiving the information, Shangguan Dazu, dressed in a black robe and with a handsome face like a young man, couldn't help but look astonished.

"How could it be so fast?... "

When he came to his senses, he turned to look at the "Black Swamp Clan" warriors below who were fighting with the Yuzhou army.

The warriors of the "Black Swamp Clan" are similar to humans, with skin as black as iron. Any iron that falls on them can only produce sparks. If they make the slightest move, the soldiers of Yuzhou will be injured if they are grazed, and will die if they are touched.

Logically, it should have been a one-sided massacre.

Unfortunately, the number of "Black Swamp Clan" warriors was less than eight hundred, while the Yuzhou army had tens of thousands, and among them were a large number of "martial artists" who had entered the Dao and reached the Divine Word Realm.

His command was skillful and measured, and although the "Kurosawa Clan" warriors could inflict casualties, the damage was extremely limited. In fact, as the soldiers were moved around, they were gradually separated from the enemy.

Shangguan Dazu frowned, looking at the distant city. He sensed its powerful aura, which was like a volcano, and shook his head slightly. He then spread his divine sense to recall the Black Swamp Clan warriors who were about to fall into danger.

same.

The sound of drums echoed from the city walls, and the soldiers retreated in an orderly fashion.

"Join forces...?"

Shangguan Dazu's eyes shifted for a few breaths before he led eight hundred "Black Swamp Clan" warriors to retreat a hundred miles, his consciousness returning to his natal spirit realm.

Other Foundation Establishment cultivators who had conquered one or two cities and were now locked in a stalemate were initially thrilled by the reward, but upon thinking of the punishment, they all felt somewhat panicked and began to contact each other.

A place of green duckweed.

The three of them, Zang Hai and his companions, came to their senses and looked at Zhu Yu with a mixture of surprise and envy, cupping their hands in greeting and saying, "Congratulations, Senior Brother."

Zhu Yu smiled and waved his hand, "You will soon receive rewards from the True Lord as well." He then looked at Cang Hai, "Especially Junior Sister Cang, who is not far from occupying a prefecture."

Zang Hai was initially pleased, but then said with a hint of helplessness, "It would have been better if we had attacked the 'Martial World' a little later."

Zhu Yu understood what she meant.

Cang Hai came from a distinguished family. If he had come later and received support from his elders, he would certainly have had no shortage of cannon fodder for attacking the martial world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yu looked at Cang Hai, whose face was filled with conflicted emotions, and Cang Li and Fu Hongxi, who seemed lost in thought, and reminded them:

"Conquering the 'Martial Realm' is not a matter for a short time. Renting the 'True Lord's' retinue is only a temporary measure. It would be best to cultivate our own bloodline retinue as soon as possible."

Zang Hai, Cang Li, and Fu Hongxi naturally knew the many benefits of nurturing bloodline relatives, but before they could forge their second natal spirit ruins, they could only nurture one type of bloodline relative, so they had to be cautious.

Zang Hai hesitated for a moment, then said with a slightly obsequious expression, "Senior Brother Zhu, could you grant your sister a wisp of your 'Jiaoren' bloodline?..."

Before Zhu Yu could reply, she hurriedly said:

"Sister, I won't take it for nothing. Senior brother, just tell me what you need. Even if I don't have it now, I will definitely provide it when we return to the sect."

These words were spoken.

Cang Li and Fu Hongxi couldn't help but cast expectant glances at them.

They had seen Zhu Yu's subordinate "Whale" before. Its bloodline was that of the mythical creature "Jiaolong". Even if the bloodline was a bit diluted, it was still a mythical bloodline, an absolutely excellent potential bloodline member.

If we take it as a member of our family, it might one day give birth to a true mythical creature, the "Jiaolong"...

Upon realizing this, the three of them had a bright look in their eyes.

Zhu Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and refused without hesitation, saying, "I'm sorry, I have no intention of selling 'whale' bloodlines."

It's not that he doesn't want to sell.

Rather, the three of them simply couldn't afford it, so it was better to just refuse.

Based on the information he learned from the "Genealogy of Humankind," a "Jiaoren" like the "Whale," who possesses mythical bloodlines and whose bloodlines are unbound, is worth at least as much as a large "Spirit Ruins."

Zang Hai didn't say much, but directly offered his price: "How about a spiritual artifact?"

Zhu Yu shook his head in refusal, and instead introduced, "I think using 'Fish-Man' as bloodline companions would be quite good. Their breeding cost is low, they reproduce quickly, and especially their upper limit is two tiers..."

Upon hearing this...

Cang Li and Fu Hongxi were slightly tempted.

Zang Hai curled his lip, "The 'Fish-Man' is ugly and weak, not even as good as the 'Black Swamp Man', let's forget about it..."

She paused, then seemed to remember something and asked:

"Since Senior Brother Zhu won't sell 'Jiaoren' bloodlines, Junior Sister won't force you. But what about that six-armed Naga you're raising?..."

Zhu Yu glanced at her, shook his head again in refusal, and before she could speak, he left with the words, "I have something to discuss after the birthday celebration of the Governor of Yongzhou," and then his figure suddenly disappeared.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle..."

Zang Hai sighed deeply, muttered something, and then his figure vanished.

Cang Li and Fu Hongxi didn't linger either. They glanced at the towering, mountain-like blue-white longsword and then disappeared into their natal spirit realm.

……

Martial arts world.

The next morning.

The entire "Prefectural Lord's Mansion" was immersed in joy, with longevity characters and congratulatory messages everywhere. Servants moved about in the courtyards and corridors, preparing all the necessary items for the birthday celebration.

A courtyard.

While Zhu Yu was immersed in cultivation, his mind suddenly stirred and his consciousness fell on his "natal spiritual ruins". With a slight thought, two orbs of light, one large and one small, appeared in his natal spiritual ruins.

The large clusters of light were bluish-green.

It is composed of the "Origin of the Spirit Ruins" and consists of thirty-two paths.

The small orbs of light were multicolored, representing two kilograms of "Five Elements Essence".

These two items are the gifts that "True Lord Qingping" once said he would bestow upon the territory.

In other words, the division of a prefecture's territory...
