“This is not my fault,” Ge Shuyinglong said, clenching his fist.
"Are you going to make excuses for your failure? Brother Shu Yinglong, I despise you even more," Dongfang Yu said coldly.
Ge Shuyinglong roared, "How could I have predicted that the Luo family's ancestor from seven hundred years ago would suddenly come to help the city lord of Jiangxia City? If it weren't for him, if I had a little more time, I would definitely have been able to get the Wood Spirit Essence from Jiang Zhengzhong!"
"What did you say? You met the Luo family patriarch from seven hundred years ago?" Dongfang Yu's expression changed instantly.
Ge Shuyinglong nodded and said, "That's right, I did meet him, and I even fought with him."
"Can you confirm that he is the first King of Nanling?" Dongfang Yu asked again.
"Who else could it be but him? He claims to be the patriarch of the Luo family, and he is indeed a Saint Realm expert. I couldn't even break through his protective true energy!" Ge Shu Yinglong roared indignantly.
Dongfang Yu lowered her head slightly, looking at her tentacles with a thoughtful expression.
"I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. Seven hundred years have passed, and not only did the ancestor of the Luo family not die, but he has also recovered his peak strength..."
At this point, Dongfang Yu's expression became very serious: "In that case, the plan for Jiangxia City is canceled!"
"What about the Wood Spirit Essence? The Wood Spirit Essence is related to our most important plan, the Spirit of Flesh and Blood, it absolutely cannot be..."
Before Ge Shuyinglong could finish speaking, Dongfang Yu interrupted him.
"Since you have already lost to the first ancestor of the Luo family, and that ancestor of the Luo family has also aided Jiangxia City, then the Wood Spirit Essence in the hands of Jiang Zhengzhong, the city lord of Jiangxia City, must have fallen into the hands of the Luo family ancestor. Are you going to go to the Luo family ancestor and snatch the Wood Spirit Essence from him?"
Dongfang Yu's words silenced Ge Shuyinglong.
To snatch something from a Saint Realm expert—isn't that courting death?
"Although the Wood Spirit Essence is extremely precious, fortunately, there is more than one in the world. We have just learned about another Wood Spirit Essence through some special channels. Ge Shuyinglong, you will come with me immediately. This time, we will act together and we must obtain the Wood Spirit Essence!"
"Dongfang Yu gave the order decisively."
Despite his severe injuries, Ge Shuyinglong stood up and said, "Yes, Elder!"
Silla Castle, the lord's tent.
Rowling reported on the situation of the three thousand commoners and serfs from Jiangxia City, and concluded by saying, "After you set off, Ancestor, Xu Ping'an and I personally checked all of them and finally found three people who had been transformed into mutants by the Blood and Flesh Spirit Divine Art, but who did not yet have a time and space."
"Xu Ping'an has taken those three people away for research and is doing his best to treat them. As for the others, I plan to observe them for another three days. If no new problems arise after three days, then we will allow them to resume their work and normal lives."
Night Breeze nodded and said, "Very good, you handled it very well, you did not disappoint me."
"Thank you for your praise, Ancestor."
Rowling said with a smile, her radiant face clearly showing how happy she was.
Night Breeze beckoned, and Rowling immediately came to Night Breeze.
“Ancestor, is there anything else you want to ask?” Rowling asked.
“I already know the basic situation of the Hongtian Empire. Tell me about the Divine Sword Empire,” Ye Feng said.
Previously, when Ye Feng took Zijing and Luo Qing to the capital, someone mentioned the Divine Sword Empire at the meeting. They said that although the Divine Sword Empire was a neighboring country of the Hongtian Empire, it was not friendly and had been eyeing the Hongtian Empire covetously for the past hundred years, which sounded like a war was about to break out.
Since that's the case, I should definitely learn about Night Breeze.
Rowling immediately said, "The current emperor of the Divine Sword Empire is named Dongfang Su, and he has a prince and a princess. In the past seven hundred years, although our Hongtian Empire has experienced a large-scale turmoil that almost broke the royal bloodline, the Divine Sword Empire has never experienced any major turmoil. The royal bloodline of the Divine Sword Empire has been passed down from seven hundred years ago."
"Go on," Night Breeze nodded.
Rowling then added, "The Divine Sword Empire currently has three very powerful families: the Huang family, the Yu family, and the Geshu family."
"The most famous and representative family is the Geshu family. The Geshu family reveres martial prowess, and each generation produces a powerful figure who controls the military power of the Divine Sword Empire, with the title of General Dragon."
"The current General Long is Geshu Feixue, the granddaughter of the head of the Geshu family! It is said that Geshu Feixue has reached the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, but I suspect that this information may be wrong."
Night Breeze asked, "You mean, Geshu Feixue isn't that strong?"
“No, I think Geshu Feixue is stronger than the intelligence reports suggest. She may not be at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, but at the middle or even late stage! It’s not impossible for her to reach the peak!” Luo Lin said with a serious expression.
"Oh? Why?" Night Breeze asked with great interest.
"More than sixty years ago, the son of the Geshu family, who was also the father of Geshu Feixue and the previous Dragon General of the Divine Sword Empire, was suddenly attacked by a large group of Crimson Tail Beasts on the border between the Divine Sword Empire and our Hongtian Empire."
"Because the appearance of the Crimson-Tailed Beast was too sudden, the Divine Sword Empire's legion suffered heavy losses at the time, and most importantly, that generation of Dragon General Ge Shuyinglong went missing in the battle!"
"The Divine Sword Empire suspects that the appearance of the Crimson Tail Beast is related to our Hongtian Empire. The attack on the Divine Sword Empire's legion by the Crimson Tail Beast is a conspiracy orchestrated by our empire. There are even rumors circulating within the Divine Sword Empire that the previous Dragon General, Ge Shuyinglong, was secretly captured by our Hongtian Empire."
"That is why the relationship between the Divine Sword Empire and our Hongtian Empire has deteriorated even more."
"Shortly afterward, Geshu Feixue of the Geshu family, who was also the daughter of Geshu Yinglong, became the new generation of Dragon General and led the legion to exterminate the Crimson Tail Beasts. In just a few years, she experienced hundreds of battles, large and small."
"There was even a ninth-grade red-tailed beast that died at the hands of Geshu Feixue!"
"That's why I suspect that Geshu Feixue's true strength is greater than what's reported in the intelligence!"
Rowling stopped there.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Feng said, "The Geshu family? Seven hundred years ago, I even had dealings with Geshu Chou of the Geshu family."
“Geshu Chou was the first patriarch of the Geshu family, but he has already passed away,” Rowling said.
"All my old friends have passed away..."
Night Wind remarked with a sigh.
Rowling quickly said, "Grandpa, please stop reminiscing about the past. We still have many things that need your attention."
"I know, I know, don't rush me." Ye Feng smiled wryly.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Ye Feng asked, "I remember there was a princess in the Divine Sword Empire's royal family named Dongfang Yu. Is she still alive?"
