After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Three months of peaceful days passed.

During these three months, Ruoshui came over via the teleportation array almost every day.

In any case, in her opinion, it would only take a blink of an eye to get from Chang'an to Tushan. She could spend her days strolling through the market and eating roast chicken in Chang'an, and her nights returning to the capital to draft official documents, without missing a beat.

Xiao Xiao was similar; as soon as she finished dealing with matters in Longting, she would head straight for the teleportation array, sometimes making several trips a day. According to her, "Isn't it a waste to build a teleportation array and then not use it?"

Cangyao and Ruoshui bickered as always.

To be precise, it was Ruoshui who, as always, picked a fight, only to be utterly crushed by Cangyao with a smile.

Then Jianli and Cang Xiaoxiao would whisper to each other.

While cracking sunflower seeds, Xiao Xiao spoke with the air of someone who had been there all along, pointing out: "Look, my sister won again. Sister Ruoshui is always at the forefront, and always the first to fall."

Jian Li hugged the scabbard and nodded vigorously, looking at Cang Yao with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Tu Shanlie and Tu Shan Yingxue also took some time to come and stay for a few days.

Ruoshui originally wanted to stay with him the whole time, but Tushan Lie sent her back to Tushan on the grounds that "I am not feeling well, you will handle the affairs of state for me for a few days".

Ruoshui stood in front of the teleportation array, looking at her kind-faced mother on the left and her father on the right with a "I'm doing this for your own good" expression, her lips pouting so much they looked like oil bottles hanging from them.

"Why should you and Mother play here while I go back to review official documents!" Tu Shan Lie coughed twice, then weakly leaned on Tu Shan Yingxue's shoulder. "Father's health isn't good, how can you bear to let him work so hard?"

Looking at her father's feigned sickly appearance and then at her mother's silent smile, Ruoshui finally gave in, stomped her foot, turned around, and stepped into the teleportation array.

As he reached the door, he turned back and glared at Tu Shanlie: "Just three days! I'll come back to replace you in three days!" With that, he disappeared into the array of light.

The development of Chang'an City is progressing smoothly, and more and more people are coming to join them in the past few months.

Some powerful families that had been rooted in the Demon Realm for generations also began to move in one after another. These people brought with them the resources, cultivation techniques and connections accumulated by their families, making the foundation of Chang'an City thicken at a visible speed.

A new market has opened in the west of the city, specializing in the trading of magical artifacts and elixirs.

Several academies have sprung up in the north of the city, and Confucian scholars invited by Yu Qian from Bailu Academy are teaching there.

After three phases of reinforcement, the city wall has been extended to a new boundary, and two new layers of restrictions have been added to the city's protective array.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

But Jiang Yan knew in his heart that the Domain Lord would not let this go so easily.

The reason why Mount Xuankong has kept a low profile for the past few months is that Yu Sheng is still in seclusion healing his injuries.

I still need to find a way to solve this problem myself.

That day, in the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Jiang Yan held the yellowed book "The Art of Lighting Lamps to Illuminate the Night" in his hand, and a flame lit up at his fingertips.

The flame was only slightly higher than the candle flame, and as it danced on the fingertips, the air in the entire hall seemed to sink.

Jiang Yan stared at the cluster of flames, lost in thought.

A moment later, he got up, took a pot of fine wine from the shelf, asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes to go with the wine, and then went out.

Deep within the eastern market district of Chang'an City, there is an inconspicuous stone house.

Wen Chaosheng leaned against the window, drinking, while outside, the bustling city was filled with traffic and noise.

Jiang Yan pushed the door open and came in. He moved the wine pot away from his mouth, looked up at the wine jar in his hand, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Good wine, sit down."

The door closed, shutting out the hustle and bustle outside.

This conversation lasted for a full two hours.

No one knows what they said inside, but Jiang Yan came out with a calm expression.

Wen Chaosheng stood at the door watching him go, holding a wine pot in his hand, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

The next day, Jiang Yan suddenly began to reorganize the troops.

Military orders were relayed down from the city lord's mansion, and war drums began to beat again on the drill ground.

Wen Chaosheng was also on the list of generals. Jiang Yan handed over most of the military affairs to him, leaving only one sentence: "You know who we're going to fight."

Wen Chaosheng took the roster, glanced at it, grinned, then hung the wine jug on his waist and turned to go to the drill ground to muster the troops.

In the following period, Jiang Yan led the Chang'an Army to wipe out the evil forces throughout the entire Demon Realm.

Deep within a mine on the border of Sirius, thousands of enslaved human miners, shackled in chains, dug for spirit stones in the darkness, the dull thud of whips striking their backs mingling with the shouts of overseers.

Wen Chaosheng led his troops to flatten the mine. The moment the miners emerged from the mine and saw the sunlight, they all knelt on the ground and wailed.

Then he had everyone's shackles removed, and distributed half of the mine's spirit stones to the miners as severance pay. He then had Lu Fa lead a group of people to escort them back to Chang'an.

And then there are those demon kings who slaughter and prey on the people in the deep mountains and forests.

Jiang Yan drew his Soul-Chasing Bow countless times, and each time the bowstring twanged, a cultivator at the Fusion Stage would fall. This thing was invincible against opponents filled with malevolent energy.

Many of the evil peripheral forces of Suspended Mountain were eradicated. Mountain Chief was recuperating on Suspended Mountain. As he watched the military reports coming from the outside, his face grew increasingly grim, but he dared not move.

Because the domain lord has not yet emerged from seclusion.

The biggest battle of the campaign took place in the second year.

Yinshan Dynasty.

Yinshan, a "republic of villains" cobbled together by criminals and outlaws from various countries, has never lacked slaughter and enslavement for hundreds of years.

This time, Chang'an mobilized its elite forces in full force.

In just a few days, this kingdom, built on sin and bloodshed, was completely wiped off the map of the Demon Realm, as if it had never existed.

This battle shook the entire Xuantian Realm, leaving all forces speechless with astonishment.

The Yinshan Dynasty's treasury was emptied, filled with spirit stones, cultivation techniques, and magical artifacts amassed through a lifetime of plunder and oppression. Jiang Yan ordered them all to be transported back to Chang'an for military and civilian use.

From then on, the Yinshan Dynasty ceased to exist in the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons.

……

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three years, Wen Chaosheng has been the main leader of the expedition.

He personally killed many of the demons who besieged Wangchao City back then. Before each sword strike, he would lift up his wine gourd to offer a toast, and then strike down.

Liu Qingyi, Jiang Shouzhuo, and others often accompanied the army on expeditions.

Jiang Shouzhou has matured a lot in the past three years.

He also successfully broke through to the Golden Core stage.

Many dynasties in the Demon Realm gritted their teeth at Jiang Yan, but were powerless to do anything about him.

For the past two years, the Suspended Mountain has kept a low profile, almost as if it doesn't exist. Without this backing, no one dares to be the first to confront Chang'an head-on.

Moreover, what people fear is not only the Dragon Court behind Chang'an.

Chang'an's own high-level combat power is not to be underestimated. Apart from Wen Chaosheng, Jiang Yan, that little monster, has already entered the Integration Realm at the age of twenty. I don't know what secret method he used, but he is not at a disadvantage when facing a Mahayana cultivator alone.

We can't beat them in a fight.

It's untenable to condemn him from a moral high ground, because he eradicated notorious forces.

Moreover, he didn't just kill demons; over the past two years, he has also killed countless human scum who harmed demons.

Gradually, I don't know when it started.

Throughout the Demon Realm and even the Xuan Tian Realm, people spontaneously built temples, erected statues, and burned incense in his honor, almost regarding him as a deity who protected all living beings.

His portrait was carved into door gods and pasted on the doors of thousands of households, guarding those who trusted him day and night.

The name Jiang Yan has truly become a household name.

Of course, Jiang Yan wasn't always on the battlefield these past two years.

Most of the time, Wen Chaosheng took the lead.

He spends at least half of each month in Chang'an with his women and parents.

Ruoshui would still bicker with Cangyao, still losing more often than winning, but she had gotten used to it.

Jiang Wuchen and his mother have also settled in Chang'an. Jiang Wuchen has stepped down as the head of the Jiang family and is now traveling around with his mother, having begun their retirement life.

……

That day, Jiang Yan sat in the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

Three years of conquest made Jiang Yan's name known throughout the Xuan Tian Realm.

And the merits and good fortune one has accumulated...

He raised his right hand, and a cluster of golden flames lit up at his fingertips.

The flames burned quietly, and even the slightest spill of the power contained within them was enough to make the entire city lord's mansion tremble.
