The departure of Long Junhai was undoubtedly a huge loss for the Tang Empire, because as long as he existed, the economy of the Tang Dynasty would not decline. However, it was hard to say how things would develop from now on.
Long Junhai, Wan Qingsi and the other three women boarded the Fat Head Kun and headed for the battlefield between immortals and demons. This journey took countless years, but it brought them one step closer to the peak in Long Junhai's heart!
Although Long Junhai is now at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, he can basically be promoted to the Xuan Immortal realm at any time. What he lacks now is an opportunity for a breakthrough.
"Husband, how long do we have to wait before we can enter the battlefield of immortals and demons?" After flying continuously for half a year, Wan Qingsi and the other three women were somewhat bored.
"We will basically be able to enter the border of the Tang Dynasty in just over a month, but it will take several years to reach the Immortal Demon Battlefield."
Long Junhai smiled. The battlefield between immortals and demons was very far away from here. He had to go to the border of the Tang Dynasty to rest for a while, otherwise flying day and night would be a bit boring.
"Husband, why is the border of the Tang Dynasty so desolate? I remember when we first entered the border of the Tang Dynasty, although it was not as prosperous as Chang'an City, it was also well developed. At least it looked very lively. It was a world of difference from here!" Bai Ruofei asked curiously.
"This is very simple. The direction we came from is the intersection of the Tang Dynasty and the fairyland, so it looks stable and peaceful. But the direction we are in now is the land bordering the Tang Dynasty and the demon world. It is sparsely populated and there are occasional invasions by demons, so it is naturally much more desolate." Long Junhai explained with a smile.
"Husband, how far is it from the border of the Tang Dynasty to the battlefield of immortals and demons?" Wan Qingsi asked again.
"It's hard to say. It depends on which route we choose. If we take the main road, we have to go a long way around. It will take at least ten or eight years to reach the destination. And that would require Fat Head Kun to fly day and night. If we fly on our own, it would probably take hundreds of years. But if we take the water route, it will take no more than three years. However, the water route is too dangerous, so most people would not choose it. After all, the main road is safer."
What Long Junhai said were all clearly marked on Xue Rengui's map. If they did not have such a detailed map, it would be very difficult for them to fly to the border. After all, the closer they got to the border, the more complex the terrain became. Many things could not be used as reference points to search for directions, and it would be easy to get lost.
A month passed quickly, and Long Junhai and his men arrived at the border of the Tang Dynasty exhausted. However, there was smoke of war everywhere, and the situation was not optimistic.
"Is there a war going on here? Why does it look like this?" Bai Ruofei asked in confusion.
"Although the war has eased somewhat in recent years, it hasn't ended. The place we came from is still at war. Although they are not fighting against creatures from the Demon Realm, these small empires are still supported by the Demon Realm."
After Long Junhai said this, the three women understood that the reason those small empires dared to go to war with the Tang Empire was definitely because they had the support of the Demon Realm, otherwise the Tang Empire would not have had such a difficult time fighting.
Not long after Long Junhai and his companions landed, a group of armored soldiers suddenly surrounded them from all directions.
"Who are you! What are you doing here?" the leading soldier asked loudly.
"We are passers-by and came here to take a look. Are you soldiers from the Tang Dynasty?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"Hmph! Stop it! You guys are dressed like this, you must be spies sent by the Hu people! Come with us, if you don't explain your identities clearly, we will execute you on the spot!" said the leading soldier very seriously.
Hearing this, Long Junhai smiled and said, "You still don't know the difference between us, right? To tell you the truth, we are all at the Golden Immortal level!"
"What! How is that possible! But even if you are Golden Immortals, so what? If you don't obey my orders, you will die!"
The leading soldier immediately pulled out a dark cylinder. Long Junhai took a closer look and saw that it actually looked like a pistol! However, its shape was very strange and the workmanship was very crude!
Long Junhai was curious. He didn't expect to encounter such a strange weapon.
"Hmph! A bunch of small soldiers at the mortal immortal level want to cause trouble for us. Otherwise, just kill them!" Wan Qingsi said with a stern face.
"No, we are all family. Don't kill them without any hesitation. It would be better to follow them for a while."
Long Junhai smiled. Since there was nothing else to do here anyway, it didn't matter if he got familiar with the geographical environment first and stabilized himself. So he followed a group of soldiers back to their base.
In less than half an hour, the group finally returned to their base, which was an inconspicuous complex of buildings. It looked not like a city but more like a huge village.
"Huh? Why are you guys back? Didn't we ask you to go and investigate the situation on the front line?" At this time, a man walked out of the base. He was tall and strong, with a big beard.
Long Junhai was delighted when he saw this person, because he not only knew him, but was also a friend of many years!
"Brother Wang, why are you here?" The person who appeared in front of Long Junhai was Wang Changling.
"Haha! Brother Long! Why did you come to a place like this? Is it because something happened in Chang'an?"
More than a hundred years ago, Wang Changling was transferred to the border to defend the border and collect intelligence on the enemy. There have been no major discoveries in these years, and wars have decreased a lot.
"Nothing happened in Chang'an City, but I left Chang'an completely." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Why? You are the imperial teacher! If you leave, who will protect the Tang Dynasty?" Wang Changling was shocked. He didn't expect Long Junhai to come here by himself. So, does that mean he wants to leave the Tang Dynasty?
"Actually, these are all my own inner thoughts. The world is so big, I want to go and see it. I can't stay in Chang'an City all the time, right? Otherwise, even if I live as long as the heaven and the earth, what can I do? I will still be alone." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Husband, you are not alone, you still have a few of us!" Wan Qingsi said with a smile.
"Yes, and you guys too, you guys should go and have a rest first. I will talk to General Wang more." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Oh! You guys really have some free time! Then stop chatting here and let's go into the room and talk slowly. Although the conditions here are a bit simple, it's pretty good once you get used to it." Wang Changling said with a smile.
"General, do you know them? Aren't they spies of the Hu people?" asked the leading soldier curiously.
"He is definitely not a spy! Do you know who he is? He is Long Junhai! The imperial tutor of our Tang Empire!" Wang Changling introduced with a smile.
