“Your idea is insane,” Lu Lingge said in a deep voice. “This hundred miles outside the border, though not valued by the Dragon Dynasty, is still Dragon Dynasty territory. If you establish the Ancestral Dragon Palace here, it is tantamount to encroaching on Dragon Dynasty land. They will definitely launch a large army to suppress you.”
"I know," Ye Qiu said. "I'm just afraid they won't come."
"Are you crazy?" Lu Lingge said. "The Dragon Dynasty can gather a million troops to attack you. Even if your Ancestral Dragon Palace is successfully established and has considerable strength, how can you stop a million troops?"
"I have my own way." Ye Qiu glanced at the mountains and valleys in front of him.
In Ye Qiu's eyes, they were all natural barriers.
If used properly, even a million-strong army, let alone five million, would not be able to break through.
"Sigh, go ahead and do whatever you want, I can't keep up with you."
Lu Lingge sighed.
"You can go now, don't worry about me," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Okay, see you later."
Lu Lingge gave Ye Qiu a deep look before flying away on her sword.
Ye Qiu then went alone to the nearby training ground.
The training ground, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people, resembles a small town outside the main city.
Ye Qiu glanced around and found that the guards ahead were not very strict, but rather quite lax.
Laughter could be heard frequently, creating a seemingly joyful atmosphere.
Ye Qiu did not rush in!
If he simply wanted to kill Governor Zhang, he could do it easily.
But Ye Qiu has bigger plans now and doesn't intend to take action immediately.
For the next half day, Ye Qiu wandered around outside the border, carefully observing the terrain and all the villages and towns within a hundred miles.
According to statistics, Ye Qiu discovered that the population within a hundred-mile radius was approximately 100,000.
Young people make up a small percentage, numbering only a few thousand.
These young people are Ye Qiu's main targets.
He wants to recruit them all and bring them into the Ancestral Dragon Palace.
In addition to the thousands of young people, Ye Qiu also discovered that there were many monsters in the mountains.
Among the monster horde, some are very powerful.
This also became Ye Qiu's goal. If he could lure the demon beast horde into the Ancestral Dragon Palace, it would be a formidable fighting force!
Before that, Ye Qiu must first break through and enter the Venerable Realm.
Otherwise, it would be extremely dangerous if a powerful enemy attacked.
With this in mind, Ye Qiu entered the deep mountains to cultivate and comprehend the Dao of Reincarnation, attempting to open the last Reincarnation Cave.
Once Ye Qiu completes the final stage of his cultivation, he is confident that he can break through to the Venerable Realm.
For ten consecutive days, Ye Qiu was struggling to comprehend the mystery.
If Ye Qiu senses that villagers are being bullied nearby, whether it's due to monster attacks or oppression by the border troops of the Dragon Dynasty, he will take action.
Therefore, after ten consecutive days, Ye Qiu successfully attracted the attention of the border authorities, who began to send people to search for him.
At the same time, Ye Qiu was regarded as a mysterious guardian deity by people within a hundred miles.
Seeing that the Longchao border troops were searching for Ye Qiu everywhere, they spontaneously organized themselves and tried every means to disrupt the border troops' reconnaissance.
On the thirteenth day, Ye Qiu successfully opened up the Reincarnation Cave.
As the Reincarnation Cave opened, a large mountain was completely enveloped, repeatedly transforming into a gate of reincarnation, with a terrifying aura spreading in all directions.
“Governor Zhang, someone has broken through in the deep mountains. Their aura is powerful. We suspect it is the mysterious cultivator who has been frequently appearing recently and causing us considerable trouble.”
At the border training ground, a deputy general hurriedly entered the main tent to report the latest situation to Zhang Jianzong, the Tiger Army governor of the border.
At this moment, Zhang Jianzong was enjoying grapes fed to him by the beauties on his left and right.
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Zhang Jianzong said nonchalantly, "What's there to fear from a mere mountain cultivator? Don't worry about him, let him run wild. He can't cause any trouble."
"Governor, that mysterious cultivator seems quite extraordinary to me. We need to be cautious. I'm worried..."
"Get out." Zhang Jianzong frowned. "You have to bother me with a mere mountain cultivator? Don't you have any manners? Get out."
"yes."
The deputy general who came to report was furious and turned to leave the tent.
Inside the tent, Zhang Jianzong continued to flirt with the two beauties.
"Lord Zhang, you are truly awe-inspiring. Even the renowned General Wei Hu dares not challenge you."
Beside him, a woman smiled charmingly and flattered Zhang Jianzong.
“Wei Hu is nothing but a brute, not worth mentioning. If I tell him to go east, he would never dare to go west,” Zhang Jianzong said with a smile.
"Lord Zhang is mighty!"
"Lord Zhang is so handsome."
...
Little did they know that Wei Hu, who had not gone far, overheard the entire conversation.
Wei Hu clenched his fists, his face grim.
"Brother Tiger, what did Governor Zhang say?"
At this moment, a young man jogged up and asked in a low voice.
“He doesn’t care.” Wei Hu gritted his teeth and said, “In his eyes, he’s just a hermit cultivator who can’t cause any trouble.”
"But recently we've already lost dozens of brothers. Those brothers either went to help Zhang Jianzong find medicinal herbs or to find beautiful women for him; they all died for him. But this fool doesn't care at all about the lives of those brothers."
"What can we do?" the young man said bitterly. "I never expected to run into such a boss. Brother Tiger, should we report this to our superiors?"
"Who should we report to?" Wei Hu said, "The border king above us is Zhang Jianzong's brother-in-law. If we report it, it will not only be useless, but it will also incur Zhang Jianzong's wrath, and then things will be even more difficult."
"Then what should we do?" the young man said in a deep voice. "Zhang Jianzong will definitely continue to send his brothers out to find all sorts of things for him, and they will do all sorts of evil deeds. If this continues, even more people will die."
