“And there's also that matter the Chief Minister entrusted to me.”
Feng Qixian thought silently.
The Chief Minister of the Ministry wanted him to take a look at what lies at the end of this four-thousand-mile official road.
“Let's take a look then.” Feng Qixian sighed, shaking his head.
Soon, he arrived at the location of Kaiyang Prefecture's Prefectural Governor.
“I am Feng Qixian, the Director of the Northern Ruins Prefecture's Construction Department. I am here under the Emperor's orders to survey the four-thousand-mile mountain road north of Kaiyang Prefecture. I request that the Prefectural Governor permit us to travel to the northern part of Kaiyang Prefecture.” Feng Qixian presented the imperial decree to the Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang.
Some time ago, Kaiyang Prefecture suffered a beast plague, and all roads leading to the north were sealed off by the Prefectural Governor, preventing anyone from entering.
This forced Feng Qixian, who originally wanted to go directly to the northern part of Kaiyang Prefecture, to return to the location of the Kaiyang Prefecture's Prefectural Governor to obtain a pass.
“As expected, it's an imperial decree.”
“Since Director Feng is interested in entering the north of Kaiyang Prefecture, this official will naturally grant permission. However, please ask Director Feng and his entourage to be mentally prepared. There are some minor issues in the north of Kaiyang Prefecture that may cause discomfort!” The Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang glanced at the decree and cupped his hands.
He knew what was north of Kaiyang Prefecture.
Naturally, he had to give a warning in advance.
“What issues?” Feng Qixian frowned slightly.
“This is not the place to discuss it, with so many people around. Once Director Feng arrives at the location, someone will inform you.” The Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang cupped his hands and said.
“This is the order of the Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards under the Emperor's command. This official dares not disobey.”
The Director of the Northern Ruins Prefecture's Construction Department is half a rank higher than the Prefectural Governor according to the imperial court system.
The Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang was worried that the other party would press him for details, which would be difficult to explain.
Therefore, he mentioned Wuming!
“The Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards?” Feng Qixian's heart stirred slightly. The Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards is responsible for protecting the Emperor's safety and is the closest person to the Emperor. Moreover, anyone who can serve as the Emperor's Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards must possess terrifying strength.
Since this order was issued by him, Feng Qixian did not want to continue pressing the Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang, lest he displease the Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards.
One must know that he is the closest person to His Majesty.
If he occasionally mentions a few bad things about him in the Emperor's ear, it might be detrimental to his career.
However, the words of the Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang still made him feel a trace of doubt.
What could be north of Kaiyang Prefecture that would require the Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang to solemnly tell him to be mentally prepared?
Were there still uncleaned carcasses of ferocious beasts?
Or was it about the people who died in the ferocious beast tide?
Harboring such doubts, coupled with his suspicions about the four-thousand-mile official road, Feng Qixian headed north.
After he left.
The Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang gazed at Feng Qixian's departing figure.
In the past, the term 'Sacred Beast' was a taboo existence in the dynasty.
The appearance of any Sacred Beast could cause widespread panic among the dynasty's civilians, and even Sages would be daunted by them.
If the late Emperor hadn't taken a gamble a hundred years ago, abandoning the previous strategy of resisting the beast plague and instead taking the initiative to attack, gathering the dynasty's strength to first encircle and kill one Sacred Beast, and then the second, the result would probably have been the same as the previous beast plagues, with the dynasty suffering heavy losses.
It would have been impossible for the human race to counterattack the Myriad Demon Mountains.
Now, in a time of peace, the previous small-scale invasions of ferocious beasts had already caused panic among some of the people, who fled in droves. If news of the two hundred and fifty Sacred Beasts appeared in the northern part of Kaiyang Prefecture.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Even if the imperial court took the lead in declaring that the Sacred Beasts would not harm people and were under the control of the imperial court, who would believe such an outrageous declaration?
After all, no one is unaware of the terrible lessons that Sacred Beasts have brought to the dynasty throughout history.
How could humans suddenly enslave Sacred Beasts?
How could they ensure that Sacred Beasts would not harm people?
Moreover, the dynasty's territory is vast, and if rumors spread, they would not subside in a short time. Although, in the end, these people would discover that the Sacred Beasts had indeed not been reported to have harmed anyone, the resulting impact would certainly occur, and if the imperial court were to blame it at that time, his official hat would inevitably be lost.
Moreover, even he, who knew that the Sacred Beasts were controlled by humans.
Was also faintly worried.
Fearing that one day, those Sacred Beasts would lose their restraints, revert to their bestial nature, and wreak havoc!
Therefore, when Wuming ordered the news of the Sacred Beasts appearing in the north of Kaiyang Prefecture to be blocked, and the roads to be sealed off, the Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang readily agreed.
Just now, there were too many people accompanying Feng Qixian. As long as he opened his mouth, whoever was carrying a communication jade talisman would spread the news, and the news that they had been blocking in Kaiyang Prefecture for several months would be completely ruined.
But he couldn't help but give a warning in advance.
Otherwise, when he arrived at the location and Feng Qixian saw the Sacred Beasts, he might blame him for not informing him in advance!
Alas... it's too difficult, everything must be taken into account.
Fearing to offend people.
The Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang took a deep breath and sighed, shaking his head.
............
“This... this...”
“This is the minor issue that the Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang was talking about!”
In the northern part of Kaiyang Prefecture, Feng Qixian's pupils suddenly contracted.
Gazing at the large number of Sacred Beasts resting in the former site of the Luan Yang Mountains, his mind was shaken.
He never expected it.
The minor issue that the Prefectural Governor of Kaiyang mentioned was actually such a large number of Sacred Beasts!
“My goodness! If so many Sacred Beasts were to riot, even if the late Emperor were alive, the dynasty would be finished!” Feng Qixian leaned against the city wall, feeling unsteady.
Although Brave City, where he was located, was not close to the location of the Sacred Beasts, the Sacred Beast's pressure permeating the air still made his legs tremble.
“Don't worry, Lord Feng, these Sacred Beasts won't harm people!”
Marquis Beiyang said, standing aside.
“Really won't harm people? What guarantee do you have?” Feng Qixian barely steadied his mind and swallowed his saliva.
Who could guarantee that such a big fellow wouldn't harm people?
I'm afraid that as long as they have a little bit of an idea.
All of them present would not be enough for them to kill!
“Guarantee? This Marquis's soldiers and this Marquis can guarantee that they won't harm people. Later, this Marquis will personally lead Lord Feng and everyone else to survey the official road and follow you throughout.” Marquis Beiyang was slightly stunned, then pointed towards the direction of the Luan Yang Mountains.
There were still a large number of Beiyang Army soldiers staying with the Sacred Beasts.
Feng Qixian looked over suspiciously. He hadn't paid attention to these just now, focusing only on the large Sacred Beasts, but now, looking over, he immediately saw a group of Beiyang Army soldiers resting beside the Sacred Beasts, some even climbing onto the Sacred Beasts' shoulders to massage them. This atmosphere didn't seem like the Sacred Beasts would harm people at all.
“Hiss!” Feng Qixian gasped.

Chapter 96: Signing in to a Small World, Obtaining the Emperor World, and a Method for Advancing to the Later Stages of a Celestial God
............
“Lord Wolf, how is the strength?” A burly Beiyang Army soldier grabbed the Golden Wolf Duke's fur with one hand, burrowed into it, rolled up the Golden Wolf Duke's fur, and asked cautiously.
“Awoo...” The Golden Wolf Duke called out comfortably.
“Hehe, thank you for Lord Wolf's appreciation. This little one is always at your beck and call. It's just that, Lord Wolf, could you give this little one some of the fur that occasionally falls off your body?” The burly soldier said in a low voice.
A ferocious beast's entire body is a treasure. Ordinary innate ferocious beasts are quite valuable in the dynasty, let alone Sacred Beasts.
Although they couldn't get the Sacred Beast cores, which are the most valuable parts of the Sacred Beasts, or their flesh, etc.
Being able to obtain a strand of a Sacred Beast's fur is also a rare treasure.
One must know that having evolved to the level of a Sacred Beast, the fur on their bodies is incomparably tough, almost comparable to black iron.
Whether it is sold on the market or used to strengthen one's own weapons, the benefits are extremely high.
Therefore, many Beiyang Army soldiers carefully became familiar with the Sacred Beasts, taking this opportunity to pluck some beast fur from the Sacred Beasts.
This burly soldier was like that.
“Awoo...” The Golden Wolf Duke stretched out a paw and scratched its back, dropping a lot of fur on the ground. It pointed to the ground with some disdain, signaling the burly soldier to go and pick it up.
“Okay, Lord Wolf!” Seeing this, the burly soldier was overjoyed and jumped off the Sacred Beast's body.
This scene was seen by Feng Qixian and others who walked over with courage, looking dumbfounded. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the vicious Sacred Beasts could get along so friendly with the human race.
While dumbfounded, the burly soldier picked up the golden hair on the ground, tied it into a bundle, and put it behind his waist. While the other party was climbing, Feng Qixian clearly saw that the burly soldier already had several bundles of hair like this on his back.
Not only that, but there were also many Beiyang Army soldiers mingling with the various Sacred Beasts.
Especially at the Demon Ape's place, he had a dead Sacred Beast in his hand.
The Demon God Ape indicated that if anyone could make him comfortable, he might consider giving half of it to the other party. This meaning was conveyed, and it immediately attracted a group of Beiyang Army soldiers.
Marquis Beiyang was not surprised by this.
He led Feng Qixian and others to the mountain road that had been opened up.
“The Myriad Demon Mountains, which have existed for an unknown amount of time, actually have the official road of my God Xuan. Could it be that those Sacred Beasts from the outside...”
Feng Qixian stared at the endless four-thousand-mile road, looking shocked. However, he suddenly thought of the group of Sacred Beasts from the outside world, and he seemed to know where this four-thousand-mile road came from.
Marquis Beiyang nodded, confirming Feng Qixian's guess.
