The meal was eaten very quickly.
Fang Zong, like the soldiers, was like a starving ghost, locking onto the time and eating frantically.
Food is wolfed down and swallowed, then transformed into various forms of energy needed by the human body. Even if it comes from the hands of a top chef, and the food is exquisite and delicious, they cannot linger for even a moment to savor it.
"fragrant"
Fang Zong put down his chopsticks.
The twelve generals were knocked off their horses and looked quite disheveled. When they saw Fang Zong eating like the soldiers, they actually started eating as well.
Fang Zong put down his chopsticks, and they also stopped eating, exchanged glances, and loudly proclaimed, "Thank you for the reward, General!"
"We thank you, General, for the reward."
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.
Fang Zong stood up, his body illuminated by countless stars.
You're welcome.
As he spoke, the starlight surged forth, transforming into an explosive curtain that completely enveloped a ten-foot radius around him.
The soldiers couldn't see Fang Zong, let alone Hai Muyue beneath his feet, and immediately became agitated. However, this agitation was quickly quelled under the control of the twelve generals.
Behind the curtain, Fang Zong lowered his head and let out a soft "Eh."
After three years of cultivation, he has gone from nothing to something, and he has learned to remain calm in the face of crowds. Even if he attacks a country's destiny, causes volcanoes and tsunamis, and countless lives become nothingness before his eyes, he can suppress all kinds of emotions in his heart and let out a soft laugh.
At this point, Fang Zong could already see through some people, including Hai Muyue, a cunning and ruthless man, and the hidden intentions beneath those expressions.
You're laughing.
Fang Zong asked softly.
Hai Muyue slowly stood up and straightened her clothes.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers, he, as the Grand Chancellor of the Iron Pen Kingdom, and even a man who aspired to be king, was trampled underfoot by Fang Zong, yet he showed not the slightest expression of grievance. Throughout Fang Zong's meal, he kept a close eye on Fang Zong's expression.
"You can eat with the soldiers, and when faced with delicious food, you eat it as quickly as an ordinary soldier would with dry rations."
Hai Muyue said softly, "I suppose you are different from my father, senior. My father was a powerful Star-Picking Venerable, but he has lost the courage to continue. You know that? I have no talent for cultivation, but I always heard my mother say that my father was a hero, a great man. I always believed that even if my mother died, and I eventually died of old age, my father would still forge ahead, and one day he would become the most powerful figure in the legendary Eight Desolations and Sixteen Prefectures. He could bring the dead back to life, he could revive my mother, he could revive me, he was omnipotent."
"Oh, and then?" Fang Zong asked.
Hai Muyue gritted her teeth and retorted, "Senior, you've come here to kill me, haven't you?"
"uncertain."
"That means they'll decide whether to kill me based on my actions. If I have no respect for Shenxing Valley, Father will think I'm going to take over the Iron Brush Kingdom, conquer the entire territory of a three-star sect, and then kill the seniors of Shenxing Valley. Father doesn't understand me, so he sent you here, thus linking your life with mine. If I die, he'll kill you; if I don't die, he'll give you wealth, countless cultivation techniques, and immense power. Senior, have I said anything wrong?"
"You're right."
Fang Zong didn't seem surprised at all.
Whether it's Earth, the larger world, or even all the smaller worlds.
Fathers always think they understand their sons, but they don't realize that no son doesn't understand his father.
The father merely raises and cares for the children, while the children, from childhood to adulthood, learn to respect, admire, and also criticize their fathers.
"So what?" Fang Zong asked again.
"The junior seeks death"
Hai Muyue bowed deeply and said resolutely, "I will sacrifice my life to revive my father's ambition. I wish to die, and I hope you will grant my request. I have prepared sufficient reasons to allow me to die, and to ensure that you receive all the rewards my father has given you, without any fear for your life."
Fang Zong ""
What a good son!
He thought he had seen through the ant's intentions and was ready to give Hai Muyue a harsh lesson, acting according to his own 'temperament'.
Unexpectedly, compared to the father, Pifu, Hai Muyue, the son, gave him an even bigger surprise.
Fang Zong grabbed Hai Muyue's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Are you fully prepared?"
"yes"
"I'm sorry, but I still prefer to do things my own way."
Three days later, the Iron Pen Kingdom's treasury.
Hai Muyue, accompanied by his generals and ministers, followed behind the King of Tiebi Kingdom, staring blankly at the empty treasury.
"Hai Muyue"
The king was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. He was afraid of Hai Muyue, and at this moment, he was also furious.
Hai Muyue was still in a daze.
A moment later, his face was filled with bitterness as he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject never expected it to turn out this way."
The national treasury is managed by Hai Muyue's people.
Just last night, Fang Zong said he was going to check the national treasury. Hai Muyue thought Fang Zong was trying to get some benefits, so she didn't think much of it. But unexpectedly, in just half a night, Fang Zong disappeared, and the national treasury was empty.
A total of 803,672 spirit stones were accumulated by the people of the Iron Brush Kingdom, collected by them from deep mountains and treacherous waters. Not a single one remained.
All kinds of armor and arrows, the stockpile painstakingly crafted and accumulated, were also swept away.
What remains are merely so-called beautiful jade and pearls, rare treasures that have absolutely no use for cultivation.
