"Understood."
Hei Ye nodded in agreement.
Night Breeze brought Zijing, Luo Qing, and the maid Luo Xiaotong back to Jiangxia City.
Moreover, Ye Feng also brought back documents personally signed by Zhu Chongguang.
Jiang Zhengzhong, who had been waiting for news in Jiangxia City for several days, felt that his previous decision was indeed wise.
That first Southern Warlord from seven hundred years ago certainly did not disappoint him.
He was not merely a martial artist with mere skill; on the contrary, he possessed exceptional wisdom and was a man of great ambition.
However, Jiang Zhengzhong never expected that this first Southern Territory King would choose the Death Mountains as the place to establish his territory.
As the lord of a city in the southern border, Jiang Zhengzhong was naturally familiar with the Death Mountains.
In fact, as long as you stand on the rooftop of the city lord's mansion and the weather is clear, you can see the dark, deadly mountain range with the naked eye.
The Death Mountain Range is a natural barrier that isolates the Crimson-Tailed Beasts, remnants of the great war seven hundred years ago, on the other side of the mountain.
But precisely because of this, the Death Mountain is synonymous with danger.
The hunters living near the Death Mountains only dare to hunt at the foot of the mountains and never dare to venture deep into the Death Mountains.
To go deep inside means death!
So Jiang Zhengzhong cautiously said, "Your Highness, if I may be so bold, your choice to use the Death Mountains as your pioneering ground is not a wise one."
“That place is too close to the ancient battlefield from seven hundred years ago. There are Crimson-tailed Beasts on the other side of the mountain, and the Crimson-tailed Beasts that attacked Luo Yun City before may have come from the ancient battlefield. They crossed the Death Mountains and came all the way to Luo Yun City in the Southern Territory…”
Before Jiang Zhengzhong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the night wind.
“Lord Jiang, you must have seen a map of our Hongtian Empire. You must know that although our Hongtian Empire’s territory is vast, there aren’t many places I can choose from. The Death Mountains may be the best piece of land among them,” Ye Feng said earnestly.
"but……"
Jiang Zhengzhong had only uttered two words when Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "I have my own decisions on what to do, you don't need to say more. Just watch, I will find a way to solve all the dangers in the Death Mountains. Before long, I will have opened up a prosperous territory in the Death Mountains."
Since Ye Feng had already said so, Jiang Zhengzhong had no choice but to nod.
Meanwhile, Luo Lin was asking Luo Qing about her experiences during her trip to the capital.
"What did you say? You ate and drank lavishly at the banquet hosted by His Majesty the Emperor, without interacting with the officials in the capital... you..."
Before Luo Lin could finish speaking, Luo Qing proudly declared, "I even drank alcohol! I'm an adult now, I can drink alcohol too!"
"are you mad at me!"
As Rowling spoke, he pressed Rowling down on the table, preparing to beat her severely, when just then a stick was handed to him from the side.
"Use this! It works great!"
Rowling turned her head and saw that the person who handed her the stick was none other than Bauhinia.
Zijing was grinning from ear to ear, and her act of kicking someone when they were down naturally made Luo Qing very angry.
"How could you do this! Aren't we friends?!" Luo Qing shouted angrily.
Zijing chuckled and said, "It's precisely because we're friends that I'm helping your aunt discipline you; it's for your own good."
Just then, the night wind came over.
"Alright, stop fooling around, we should get going," Night Wind said.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Luo Lin and Luo Qing immediately stood at attention, and Zi Jing hurriedly put away the stick.
Two days later, Ye Feng arrived at the Death Mountain Range with Luo Lin, Luo Qing, and others.
The reason it took two whole days was because Ye Feng and his group were leading more than 1,300 ordinary people.
These people were all original residents of Luoyun City, including three hundred commoners and one thousand serfs.
Fear was written on each of their faces, as if everything around them was fraught with danger.
Their reaction was understandable, after all, this was the Death Mountain Range, a place that struck fear into the hearts of everyone.
Night Breeze crouched down and picked up a handful of dark brown soil from the ground to examine it carefully.
Half a day later, a satisfied expression appeared on Ye Feng's face.
"As expected, the Red-tailed Beast's venom is almost gone," Ye Feng said.
"Really?" Rowling was overjoyed.
The greatest danger to ordinary people in the Death Mountains is the venom of the omnipresent Red-tailed Beasts.
Although martial artists can resist the poison, ordinary people cannot. Therefore, ordinary people will be poisoned after arriving at the Death Mountain Range and die slowly and painfully.
If the toxins remaining in the Death Mountains are truly gone, then ordinary people will have the possibility of living there.
“At least it’s gone here,” Night Wind said.
The place where Ye Feng and his group are now is on the outskirts of the Death Mountains.
Looking at the deep forest ahead, Ye Feng said, "Perhaps there are still traces of the Crimson Tail Beast's poison deep in the Death Mountains, but this is the outer area after all, and so much time has passed since that great battle seven hundred years ago. It is normal for the Crimson Tail Beast's poison to have disappeared completely."
"Ancestor, did you discover long ago that the toxins here are gone, which is why you chose to develop this place?" Luo Qing asked curiously.
The night breeze felt somewhat helpless.
He didn't like the title "Ancestor," so he had previously ordered Luo Qing and Luo Lin to call him "Head of the Family."
After all, Ye Feng is now indeed the head of the Luo family.
But Rowling and Rosanne are so used to calling her that that they can't change it.
Not only Luo Qing and Luo Lin were like this, but Chen He, Jiang Wei, Zijing and others were also like this. The common people and serfs would all bow and scrape and call Ye Feng "Grandpa".
This seems to be the power of habit.
They've gotten used to calling Ye Feng "Ancestor," and Ye Feng can't change that even if he wanted to.
Oh well, it's just a title anyway, it's not important.
Night Breeze chased away the distracting thoughts in his mind and said, "When we left Luo Yun City and spent the night in the mountains, didn't Xiao Tong get lost? Zi Jing and I went to look for her, and the place where we went to look for her was already within the range of the Death Mountain Range."
"At that time, I discovered that the outer areas of the Death Mountains were basically free of Red-tailed Beast toxins, so I decided to explore this area."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Luo Lin and Luo Qing both suddenly realized what was going on.
The area in front of us is relatively flat, making it ideal as a campsite.
Night Wind then said, "Let's start here. This is the starting point of our expansion. We will build a city here, a city even more prosperous than Luo Yun City!"
"Then let's call it Xinluoyun City?" Luo Qing immediately suggested.
“Four characters are too complicated, let’s just call it Xinluo City,” Zijing said.
