After reading the contents of the letter, Marquis Beiyang's pupils contracted slightly.
"What did the Emperor send that requires this Marquis to personally escort it?"
Marquis Beiyang felt puzzled.
The Ministry of Industry is where the imperial court manufactures important instruments. Generally, items sent from the Ministry of Industry are powerful weapons, but these items are usually handled by subordinate generals.
There's no need to take up the time of a semi-Saint Marquis like him.
You should know that the ferocious beasts in the Luan Yang Mountains haven't been dealt with yet. This was an order personally issued by the Emperor. The Emperor couldn't possibly not know he was busy, but even so, this item transported from the Ministry of Industry in the Imperial Capital City still requires him to personally receive and escort it.
This made Marquis Beiyang feel puzzled, but also a little curious.
After realizing that Wuming was the Emperor's own hidden strength, Marquis Beiyang understood the Emperor's power. Now that the Emperor has personally sent someone to deliver something, he wondered what it could be.
It's actually valued so much!
"Moreover, the letter also has Grand Commander Wuming's name on it. It seems the person who wrote the letter also intended for Grand Commander Wuming to accompany me..."
"Could it be something extremely dangerous?"
Marquis Beiyang was even more puzzled now.
He really couldn't imagine what could possibly threaten a semi-Saint like him, and also require a peak Saint to accompany him!
The contents of this letter piqued his interest greatly.
"According to the information marked on the letter, this item will be delivered to the border of Kaiyang County in about three hours. There's still time, I'll go find Senior Wuming and ask him..." Marquis Beiyang thought to himself, and the next moment, he headed towards Wuming's location.
Luan Yang Mountains, the first hilltop adjacent to Brave City.
Wuming was stationed here, with Saint Hongyuan sitting quietly beside him, respectful, like a student facing a teacher.
During this time, Wuming was worried that the ferocious beasts in the Luan Yang Mountains would come out again, so he was stationed here. Saint Hongyuan wanted to ask some questions about cultivation, so he had been following Wuming.
"Marquis Beiyang greets Senior Wuming, Senior Hongyuan!"
Marquis Beiyang's figure appeared beside the two.
After bowing, Marquis Beiyang unfolded the letter in his hand and respectfully presented it to Wuming.
"The letter says that His Majesty has sent someone to deliver something, but it seems quite extraordinary. The court official who wrote the letter asked me to invite you to accompany me to receive this item!" Marquis Beiyang said respectfully.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Wuming slowly opened his eyes.
"Something sent by His Majesty?" A hint of doubt appeared on Wuming's face.
"In that case, Hongyuan, you stay here. This Commander and I will return soon." Wuming nodded and looked at Hongyuan.
Chapter 69 Reverent Marquis Beiyang, Supreme Emperor's Shadow
Miyang City, the border between Kaiyang County and the neighboring county.
Although the letter stated that the item sent from the Ministry of Industry in the Imperial Capital City would arrive in three hours.
Marquis Beiyang still led his men to wait here early.
He wanted to know what it was that could make the Emperor personally order it to be sent, and he also wanted to know what it was that required him, a semi-Saint Marquis, to receive it in the company of a Saint.
All sorts of reasons that had never appeared before made Marquis Beiyang very curious.
As time passed, the sun rose higher.
Marquis Beiyang stood on the city wall of Miyang City, looking into the distance. He saw a line of black iron boxes gradually appearing in his field of vision, being transported by a group of black-armored soldiers. From a distance, it looked like a large black centipede!
"His Majesty has transported something extraordinary!"
Just as Marquis Beiyang was wondering what was inside these iron boxes, a sigh came from beside him.
Marquis Beiyang's heart trembled slightly upon hearing this.
He knew that Wuming's strength was even greater than Saint Hongyuan's. If he said it was extraordinary, what could be inside these iron boxes?
Marquis Beiyang narrowed his eyes and released a wisp of divine sense, wanting to peek at the items inside the iron boxes in advance.
Roar!
Just as Marquis Beiyang's divine sense approached the first iron box, a beast roar seemed to take him back to the ancient times. A burly demon ape, with fierce eyes and surrounded by black mist, like a peerless demon from the abyss, was staring at Marquis Beiyang's divine sense.
"This is..." Marquis Beiyang was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his pupils shrinking sharply.
"Such a powerful ferocious beast, could it be..."
Marquis Beiyang's heart trembled wildly. In just an instant, he realized the identity of the demon ape: a Saint Beast!
He took a deep breath and shifted his gaze to the other large iron boxes, the expression on his face gradually turning to horror.
"Could it be that all the iron boxes contain a Saint Beast?" Marquis Beiyang muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.
If there were so many Saint Beasts, if they had caused trouble a hundred years ago, there probably wouldn't be any humans left in the entire Southern Continent!
Wuming's next sentence confirmed his guess.
"With these Saint Beasts, the ferocious beasts inside the Luan Yang Mountains can be wiped out in three days." Wuming's eyes contained surprise as he nodded secretly.
With so many Saint Beasts, those low-level ferocious beasts in the Luan Yang Mountains could only surrender.
Marquis Beiyang took a deep breath of cold air, and a hint of fear rose in his eyes as he looked at those large iron boxes.
He couldn't imagine what method the Emperor used to make these Saint Beasts willingly stay in these iron boxes and be transported all the way from the Imperial Capital City to the border!
............
Imperial Capital City.
The Ice Group members under Xuanxue have been hiding underground, digging various passages, and rarely active in the Imperial Capital City, which has led to the Ice Group members not having contact with the Demon Sect for the time being.
Meanwhile, the Demon Lord Lin Ning, hidden in her residence, had been continuously expanding her influence over the past few days. The Demon Sect's power had initially gained a foothold in the Imperial Capital, with influence comparable to a second-rate force in the city.
There were no fewer than a hundred such forces, both overt and covert, in the Imperial Capital, the heart of the dynasty, but this level of power was already the peak limit that Lin Ning could currently develop.
To rise further to a first-rate force would require being subject to the court's supervision, and in that case, the presence of the Demon Sect members, even herself, would inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the imperial court, the dynasty's most powerful institution.
This was very unfavorable for her.
Therefore, she paused the expansion and began ordering the Demon Sect members to focus on acquiring funds.
And it wasn't just the Demon Sect, but also the Ice Group controlled by Xuan Xue.
It was also restricted to the scale of a second-rate force.
For the imperial court, second-rate forces posed no threat, and the imperial family, which reigned above the court, felt the same.
However, the true foundation of the imperial family was not in the Imperial Capital, but in a secret realm with spiritual energy far exceeding this place, the Imperial Ancestral Mountain.
It was also because of this knowledge of the imperial family's foundation that the civil and military officials did not dare to disrupt the court during the power vacuum between the late emperor's death and the new emperor's ascension. Only those unfamiliar with the Imperial Capital were restless.
On the other side, the Land God's Dream Induction Technique brought the entire Red Sand Holy Sect into the ranks of believers. After a brief count, the population of the Red Sand Holy Sect was approximately 1.3 million.
The vast majority of them were ordinary people without cultivation, but after being touched by the Land God's divinity, the strength of these ordinary people began to increase to varying degrees.
In the past few days, the Land God used divine power to move the Red Sand Holy Sect into the interior of the dynasty's territory, dividing the million people among various industries to establish an initial intelligence organization.
............
"Begin releasing them."
In Brave City, two hundred and fifty iron boxes were transported to the foot of the Luan Yang Mountains. Nameless nodded and waved his hand.
"Yes!" Marquis Beiyang took a deep breath, steeling his courage.
Although he now vaguely realized that these Sacred Beasts were subject to some kind of restriction imposed by the Emperor and would not harm people, Marquis Beiyang still felt a tremor in his heart when facing such behemoths, such terrifying existences.
Soon, the Sacred Beasts were released one by one!
The Demon Ape, the Silver Ancient Crocodile, the Golden Wolf King, the Golden Wolf Queen, and other famous Sacred Beasts, even ancient remnants, gradually appeared before everyone.
Feeling the Sacred Beasts' overwhelming aura, everyone present felt timid and weak in the legs.
On the hilltop, the figure of Red Yuan Sage was long gone.
After sensing the Sacred Beasts' aura, he fled the area at the first possible moment.
Only after a long time did he dare to cautiously return.
Under Nameless's command, these Sacred Beasts first carved a mountain road into the mountains, and then, at a distance of two mountain peaks, began the task of leveling the Luan Yang Mountains.
"With such excavation, the Luan Yang Mountains will become a plain in the future. When ferocious beasts rush from the Myriad Beast Mountains, we can stand on these two remaining mountains and defend in advance from a high vantage point!"
"At the same time, order manpower to enter the mountains to transport the stones carved out by these Sacred Beasts to build projects, or to polish and repair damaged houses, and send the excess to the interior of the dynasty..." Nameless ordered.
"Yes, Senior Nameless." Marquis Beiyang swallowed, feeling his mouth dry.
Although the scene before him had become a foregone conclusion, he still couldn't believe that these Sacred Beasts, once sufficient to destroy the entire Southern Continent, were now so obediently helping the human race to carve out a plain...
"The Emperor..." Marquis Beiyang looked towards the direction of the Imperial Capital, a hint of awe emerging in his eyes.
Even someone as strong as Nameless was under the Emperor's command.
Now, so many Sacred Beasts had emerged, listening to his commands.
Marquis Beiyang had seen Xuan Ming's appearance many times, but now he found that Xuan Ming's appearance was gradually blurring in his heart, replaced by a supreme Imperial Shadow sitting on a dragon throne, with an unclear face, but reigning over the world, with an aura that swallowed the heavens and earth.
Chapter 70: Third Divine-Demonic Summoning
Inside the Luan Yang Mountains.
Since the outbreak of ferocious beasts, some ferocious beasts from the Myriad Beast Mountains had remained in the mountain range. After losing their ferocious beast leaders, they stayed in the Luan Yang Mountains.
Although Marquis Beiyang had commanded the army to kill a portion of them during this time, there were still a large number of remnants.
And now, with the entry of two hundred and fifty Sacred Beasts, the surging aura of the Sacred Beasts alarmed the ferocious beasts hidden throughout the Luan Yang Mountains. They gazed south, clearly feeling the terror there.
At this moment, if someone were to stand in the high sky overlooking the Luan Yang Mountains, they would inevitably see a large number of ferocious beasts constantly retreating, leaving in the direction of the Myriad Beast Mountains. At the same time, some ferocious beasts gathered at the location of the Sacred Beasts, instantly subdued, and together they excavated the Luan Yang Mountains.
The Sacred Beasts were incredibly powerful and massive. When excavating the mountains, the earth shook, the ground cracked, and the momentum was vast, which could be clearly heard even from Brave City outside the Luan Yang Mountains.
Because of this, Marquis Beiyang discussed with the Kaiyang Commandery Governor.
Temporarily preventing the people from returning to Brave City, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.
............
Deep within the Myriad Beast Mountains, it was extremely magnificent and vast, with tens of thousands of towering mountains standing tall. The ferocious beasts that had fled from the Luan Yang Mountains had not yet had time to enter the mountains when they heard a long, resounding roar!
