Yue Qingling looked at the vast group of cultivators, his brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything.
Of the three thousand cultivators, two thousand eight were at the Human Cultivation Realm.
They're basically cannon fodder when facing invaders.
Yue Qingling didn't blame her.
Cultivation is like climbing a mountain, but he and the women around him were so talented that he was not used to ordinary people.
He turned to Long Qilan and said, "Qilan, you form the squad first. Let's rest here for a bit and send a few people to see where Di Zhengchen's team from Nanzhou is."
We can't just enter the Northern Continent without prior notice. There are three thousand cultivators there; rushing in like this would be no different from an invasion.
Long Qilan nodded in agreement and quickly got to work.
Yue Qingling then led Lin Qingyu to a secluded little house.
"Why did you bring me here?" Lin Qingyu asked half-jokingly.
Yue Qingling didn't mince words. With a solemn expression, he hugged her tightly and kissed her passionately before slowly saying, "After we leave, you should take the rest of the people to Flying Dragon City and find a place to cultivate properly."
"No, I've made up my mind. I'll go with you."
Lin Qingyu's eyes were glazed from the kiss. She hugged Yue Qingling's neck and said firmly.
Yue Qingling then began to persuade his wife.
But Lin Qingyu's heart was unwavering. Even with tears streaming down her face, she kept repeating, "I want to be with you, even if it means death!"
"Let's find a place to give birth to our child, so I won't have to worry."
Yue Qingling lay down beside her, hugged her shoulders, and earnestly gave her instructions.
"Hmph, woo woo..."
Lin Qingyu cried softly in disappointment.
"Don't cry. If a child cries too much, he or she will become introverted."
Yue Qingling gently comforted her.
Over the past month, Lin Qingyu has become pregnant.
Of course, this was their secret, and they didn't tell anyone.
Yue Qingling didn't want Leng Feiran to be jealous, and he didn't want to cause trouble.
Although Leng Feiran has been very magnanimous over the past month.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't have her own thoughts.
At the very least, she should want to be the first to give birth.
Yue Qingling doesn't have time to play mind games with Leng Feiran right now, so Lin Qingyu took the initiative to come to the Northern Border, ostensibly to take charge of the Qingyue Sect, but actually to secretly nurture her pregnancy.
The cultivators are generally in good physical condition, and unless they suffer a severe injury, they will not easily miscarry.
Yue Qingling came here to dissuade Lin Qingyu from going to the front lines with him.
He only hoped that Lin Qingyu could live a peaceful life and give birth to the child.
This was the only thing he could do as a husband.
Lin Qingyu's originally resolute expression finally became hesitant after hearing Yue Qingling's words.
She said softly, "How about... how about we have another child later?"
"It's not easy for cultivators to have a child, so don't miss this opportunity."
Yue Qingling quickly dispelled her dangerous thoughts.
He used both soft and hard tactics, and finally managed to calm Lin Qingyu down.
Personal matters are mostly resolved, but business matters have encountered difficulties.
Although Di Zhengchen's name was very famous in the Four Realms Continent, the cultivators in the Northern Continent didn't really care about it.
Di Zhengchen, full of enthusiasm, said he would bring his team to help.
The Fire Phoenix Kingdom politely declined, stating that they had not yet discovered any invaders and therefore did not need help from other continents.
However, Di Zhengchen was a Human King Realm cultivator, and after the Empress's fall, he was truly invincible.
Emperor Qin Ji of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom did not dare to go too far, and expressed his welcome to Elder Di to come and visit.
The premise is not to bring too many people.
Di Zhengchen led more than 300 dragon cultivators from the Southern Continent to the Nine Nether Lands, where the group set up camp.
Yue Qingling quickly met with Di Zhengchen.
This was the first time that a powerful figure at the Human King Realm had shown any sign of anger.
"What a bunch of short-sighted cowards! This is absolutely ruining important matters!"
Di Zhengchen stared at the border line and shouted angrily.
Yue Qingling was also quite speechless.
But there's nothing we can do.
The situation in the Northern Continent is chaotic and complex, with various forces vying for a share of the spoils.
As for the intruders?
They don't care.
Even if the sky falls, there's always someone tall enough to hold it up.
They must now take advantage of the chaos to seize profits.
Yue Qingling was somewhat familiar with this kind of situation.
Before he time-traveled, he loved reading. He was quite young at the time, so he often read the vernacular version of "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty".
At the time, I didn't quite understand why those powerful and influential people, who could have used their wealth to defend against foreign enemies, insisted on guarding their own little plot of land and refused to contribute a single penny.
In the end, with the fall of their country and the Ming dynasty, they were subjected to various massacres by the Manchus.
Now it seems that the North Continent is almost identical.
However, at least the Tartars could take prisoners; if they surrendered, they might survive.
The intruders have absolutely no room for maneuver.
Could it be that cultivators from the Northern Continent would act as dogs for invaders?
Yue Qingling sighed, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."
If the fighting in the North Continent continues without external intervention, it will never end.
"Principal, I suggest we cut to the chase quickly!"
Di Zhengchen was furious, but upon hearing Yue Qingling's words, he hesitated.
“The North Continent is different from the South Continent. You can use Ying’er’s name in the South Continent.”
But the moment we set foot in the Northern Continent, that will be an invasion…
Yue Qingling said urgently, "So what if we invade? Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles."
Given this messed-up situation, do you really think we should get involved in some factional infighting?
Guo Feng, the Demon King of the Western Continent, has been in the Northern Continent for over a year!
Di Zhengchen raised his hand, signaling him to calm down.
Looking at the desolate border, he calmly said, "If we rashly invade, it would be a declaration of war against the Northern Continent."
"Why don't we first enter the Fire Phoenix Kingdom to investigate and see if we can find a breakthrough?"
Yue Qingling naturally knew Di Zhengchen's thoughts. He wanted to refute him, but then he remembered what Yue Wuyan had told him: when Di Zhengchen joined forces with Nanzhou last time, he adopted a moderate approach.
He then fell silent.
Currently, the situation in South Asia looks very good.
This proves that Di Zhengchen was right.
So, can we listen to him this time?
Di Zhengchen noticed Yue Qingling's hesitation and doubt, and he smiled and said, "There aren't many dragon cultivators. I can only bring about three hundred people."
However, each of them was at least at the Earth Cultivation Realm.
In my humble opinion, when dealing with invaders, quality is more important than quantity.
Therefore, let's send our strongest cultivators in first to check things out. Even if there's danger, we can handle it."
This time, Yue Qingling agreed.
Don't be fooled by the fact that only three hundred dragon cultivators came; these cultivators are far stronger than his own team.
Moreover, since we are going to cooperate, there must be a distinction between primary and secondary roles.
He decided to trust Di Zhengchen.
There are ten people selected to enter the Fire Phoenix Kingdom.
Di Zhengchen brought seven elders who were at least at the Earthly Cultivation Azure Sea Realm, while Yue Qingling brought Long Qilan, who stayed by her side.
Lin Qingyu wanted to go with them, but Yue Qingling refused, and she did not return to Feilong City.
