Chapter 51 Preparing to Leave
Wang Yao smiled slightly and was about to say something when Suo Yunyang's big hand patted him on the shoulder.
"Good boy, I was wondering why you didn't come back after making such a great contribution. It turns out you went out to break through." Wang Yao did not hide his aura of the Gangqi realm, so Suo Yunyang sensed it immediately.
"Yes, once the opportunity came, I broke through naturally." Wang Yao did not mention how he broke through, and the Supervisory Office would not care about it.
Here, as long as you are a little loyal and complete your tasks well, no one will target you or steal your opportunities.
Suo Yunyang really didn't care about Wang Yao's explanation. Instead, he brewed a pot of hot tea, poured Wang Yao a cup, and said, "Come on, let's sit down and talk in detail. The news your men brought back is really important."
Wang Yao was not polite either. After all, they were his direct superior and there was no distance between them. He consulted him on many issues concerning spiritual practice.
"What's going on? I've been in seclusion for a while and don't know the situation outside. It seems that King Sui hasn't conquered Western Qiang?" Wang Yao took a sip of tea and found that it was a spiritual tea, sweet and strong.
Hearing the question, Suo Yunyang, who had been smiling, became serious. He was loyal to King Sui.
This time, it was Wang Yao's contribution that was of great use to King Sui's conquest, so he was so enthusiastic about Wang Yao, otherwise it would not be in line with his character at all.
Suo Yunyang picked up the teacup but didn't drink it. After pondering for a while, he said, "It seems that you really don't know anything. To put it simply, it was the Wuya Sect's Golden Core Patriarch who took action.
When we were storming the city and capturing the stronghold, a thunderbolt drove back King Sui's 200,000-man army. That scene, like a divine punishment, truly terrified all the soldiers."
Wang Yao was shocked. How could it be possible? How could the Golden Elixir interfere in the affairs of the mortal world?
"Isn't he afraid of the backlash from Heaven? What does Wuya Sect want to do? Isn't Master Yin a Golden Elixir?" Wang Yao had a series of questions waiting for Suo Yunyang to answer.
Suo Yunyang said: "According to our investigation, the life span of the Wuya Sect's ancestor is less than 20 years. In order to ensure that the sect can have the protection of the golden elixir for the next 500 years.
He personally supported the King of Western Qiang in order to gain some of the luck of the Western Qiang Kingdom and use the power of luck to force his disciples to break through to the Golden Elixir stage.
As for Deputy Director Yin, although he is also a Golden Core, but, alas, you will know later."
Wang Yao suddenly realized that Wuya Sect wanted to become the guardian sect of the Western Qiang Kingdom. They would prosper together and suffer together.
Even though Xiqiang only has one county for the time being, the remaining fortune of the ancient Qiang Kingdom on the land of Suizhou will continue to converge in Xiqiang.
Therefore, the luck of a sect that only has one golden elixir is definitely enough to support it, but the stakes for both sides are too high, and they have staked everything.
Seeing that Wang Yao seemed to have figured it out, Suo Yunyang continued, "Because the Wuya Sect's Golden Core Patriarch's intimidating power was too great, we were all discussing whether to withdraw our troops. The news you mentioned about the food shortage arrived just in time.
So after multiple verifications, we slowly retreated, surrounding them without attacking, forcing the Western Qiang King to offer a thousand fine horses in exchange for peace."
"What? Didn't I send someone to tell you that Wuya Sect was coming to surrender? You didn't believe it?" Wang Yao asked in confusion.
Suo Yunyang was a little embarrassed, and he quickly took a sip of tea and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's that no one believes that the Wuya Sect's golden elixir, which has been dormant for more than a hundred years, will take action.
Thanks to your intelligence and the confrontation with Master Yin, Prince Sui was able to save some face and avoid fleeing in disarray."
Wang Yao now roughly understood that Xiqiang had gained a firm foothold, at least as long as Wuyamen's Jindan was still alive.
Suo Yunyang continued, "With the support of Master Yin, we cultivators have reached an agreement with the Wuya Sect that those below the Gangqi realm are not allowed to attack at will, and those who violate the agreement will be punished together.
Don't worry, our Master Yin is also half a Jindan, and that old turtle from Wuya Sect loses his vitality every time he attacks, so he tacitly agreed to this agreement."
Wang Yao actually also heard the implication between the lines. This casual attack was not defined by the stronger party.
After figuring out what you wanted to know, the next step is the reward and arrangements.
"I still need to go out and travel a bit, and I can do a few missions along the way."
…
After a long talk, Wang Yao left the Jiandao Office with a storage bag. He had gained a lot.
He changed his identity and became a second-class priest, which is an identity recognized wherever the Supervisory Office exists.
Moreover, as a sacrifice, his involvement with King Sui would not be that deep. Although the Silver Guard could obtain more luck, if King Sui failed, the backlash would be huge.
This was after Wang Yao was promoted to the Gangqi realm. With the help of the Qi-watching technique, he had a more thorough understanding of the involvement of fate. He just wanted to jump back and forth, but did not want to get into a pot and be boiled to death.
The second-class tribute is equivalent to the silver guard, or even slightly higher. Wang Yao was going to be promoted this time, so after Suo Yunyang reported it to Yin He, it was immediately approved.
There are more than 30 medium-grade spirit stones and some commonly used elixirs in the storage bag. These are basic rewards and salaries.
There is also a disposable jade slip that records a spell, the Shocking Soul Thorn, which is a component spell of the Dayan Sect's magical power.
This was a spell that Wang Yao had spent a lot of effort to obtain. There was no other way around it, because the Supervisory Office had verified that the subsequent magical powers of this spell were at least fourth-grade, and possibly even third-grade.
Even if the Supervisory Office currently has no other component spells, this little hope alone is worth a great achievement.
After returning to the courtyard in Pingningfang, Wang Yao used the dust-clearing technique to clean it thoroughly. It had been uninhabited for a long time and there was no vitality at all.
The only thing that caught Wang Yao's eye was that the date pit buried next to the lotus pond and the pavilion had sprouted and grown to nearly half a meter tall.
The tender branches and leaves sway in the hot breeze of early summer, and the vitality of the date tree is fully displayed. It is hard to imagine that it was still a date pit last winter.
Even Wang Yao didn't water it much. He just let it absorb some spiritual energy when he occasionally meditated and practiced beside the lotus pond.
For more than a month, Wang Yao went back and forth between the Jiandaosi's library, archives, and the Pingningfang courtyard every day.
He brushed up on his cultivation knowledge, read about the customs and habits of various parts of the Great Zhou, and then practiced the Jingshen Thorn in the small courtyard.
From time to time, she would brew a pot of spiritual tea in the pavilion in the courtyard. The tea leaves were picked from Suo Yunyang, and the water was the spiritual spring water from her own cave.
Wang Yao did not forget to give some to the jujube tree. After all, there was no one in the courtyard to drink tea with him, so it was a good idea to give the jujube tree a drink.
That day, Wang Yao took out a gourd of spiritual spring water and placed it next to the roots of the jujube tree. He poked a small hole on it, and only a drop of water would flow out after a long time.
Of course, it can no longer be called a small jujube tree. Watered with Wang Yaoling tea, it grows very fast and is almost two meters tall.
Wang Yao was about to leave. He accepted two tracking missions and also wanted to take a look at the situation in Yangzhou.
The King of Heyang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a distant cousin of the previous emperor, fled to Yangzhou and re-established the court in the south of the Yangtze River, causing an uproar.
No one expected that such a prince would survive. You know, the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not allowed to leave the capital and were kept in captivity. They should have died in the capital.
Only Wang Yao knew that the King of Heyang might really be a unique "good man", at least he did not do anything bad.
Otherwise, even if he escaped the investigation of the rebel soldiers, Wang Yao's wish would not protect him.
There were no princes or grandchildren, and none of the other princes escaped. All the heroes in the world almost thought that the Zhou Dynasty was completely wiped out.
