Star Trace Gate

Shangyu County, in the northwest corner of the city.

The old Taoist priest Fenglin was floating in the air, with twenty-four formation flags circulating around his body, all emitting dazzling colorful light.

At my feet, Ren was standing not far away, just staring quietly.

In mid-air, Feng Lin was walking with a compass in one hand, searching for his location. His expression was extremely peaceful, just like an immortal from the mortal world.

He walked in the air, raising his arms from time to time, muttering softly, "Purple air comes from the north, the four symbols rise - the blue dragon of the East Palace, take its place!"

"boom!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the battle flag shone brightly, flew straight down, and hit the ground on the east side steadily, causing the sand and rocks to crack and fall into place like crystal jade.

"Gather the luck here - Nangong Suzaku, take your position!"

"boom!"

"...!"

He moved quickly in the air, standing in four directions and lowering a total of twelve formation flags, first forming the Four Symbols Returning Formation, which led to the scene of rosy clouds descending from the sky and illuminating the city of Shangyu Prefecture.

Hou Fenglin then set up another luck-gathering formation in the center of the Four Symbols Formation to consolidate the luck of this place.

"boom!"

When the formation was completed, the wind and clouds between heaven and earth were turbulent, and endless purple air came from the sun, moon, rivers, mountains, forests and fields, as dense as flowing clouds, and gathered towards this place.

The people and soldiers in the city were all shocked when they saw this scene.

"This... this is my great fortune!"

"Purple air is surging in the world. This is... the beginning of the young prince Huai's seizure of fortune."

"It's over. Shangyu County has been removed from Daqian."

"...!"

In the city, some people were wailing in fear and crying bitterly; some were gloating and shouting "Long live the young King Huai"; and some were extremely indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

"The formation is complete! Young Master, you stand in the formation and offer the Human Emperor Seal to the sky to gather all the purple air here." Feng Lin was bathed in the light of the formation and called out like an immortal: "With the purple cloud on your body, you will cross the first gap on the road to becoming the Human Emperor."

"I'm coming."

Ren Ye shouted excitedly, soared into the sky in an instant, and stepped into the formation.

He brushed off the dust on his clothes, straightened his hair, and rose up into the air with the wind.

Soon, he was suspended in the sky above Shangyu County, overlooking the entire city.

"Why not print it?" Fenglin was a little curious.

"At this moment and in this situation, if I don't do something to show off my prowess in front of others, or say a few pretentious words, I'll always feel like something is missing." Ren Ye looked at the vast territory around him, feeling high-spirited.

"...!"

Fenglin was speechless, just looking at him quietly: "Then you...you just start."

"Ong!"

Thousands of rays of light flashed between his eyebrows, and a large seal flew out.

Ren Ye stood under the sky and shouted loudly: "I am fortunate to have inherited the legacy of the Emperor of Man. I am responsible for the destiny of the human race. I should also shoulder the responsibility of promoting the prosperity of the human race, eliminating the suffering of the people, and ushering in a peaceful and prosperous era!"

"The Emperor has come to this point and should make a great wish!"

“May everyone in the nine lands of Shangyu be enlightened, become like a dragon, and enjoy eternal bliss on earth.”

"Boom!"

The words of great aspirations float across every inch of land, resonating with the way of heaven from afar, and causing purple clouds to fill the sky and auspicious light to shine upon the world.

When the strange phenomenon occurred, the people in the city saw auspicious light descending from the sky and purple air rushing towards the city. They naturally knew that the Human Emperor had been recognized by Heaven... and the two of them seemed to be getting along well.

Smart or dumb, they all knelt and shouted, "Welcome the Emperor to Shangyu! Long live the Emperor!"

Some people, neither smart nor stupid, cursed loudly: "What you are doing is no different from treason!!"

"No spine or blood!"

"A spineless person is not worthy of being a citizen of Daqian!"

"...!"

A group of idiots started cursing at the same time.

At this moment, hundreds of Green Forest bandits marched in unison, drew out their steel knives, and looked fierce and stupid.

Fatty Wu squinted at the group and said, "Do you have any objection to my brother the Emperor entering the city?"

The group of people fell silent instantly.

"Do you have any objections?!" Fatty Wu asked again, holding the knife.

"Hurrah!"

At least half of the people immediately knelt on the ground, shouting: "The benevolence of the Emperor will last for thousands of years."

"Louder!" Fatty Wu glared.

"The Emperor will live forever!!"

The shouts instantly became uniform and loud, echoing the scene of the gathering purple air in the distance.

You know what, these two pretentious words of Ren Ye, combined with the strange phenomena in the heaven and earth here, really have the flavor of a solemn oath, and also made the resistance in the hearts of many people not as strong as before.

In addition to being the Human Emperor, he is also the son of the old King Huai, so he has some popular support here.

"Boom!"

The Human Emperor Seal soared into the sky, disappeared into the flowing purple air and clouds, and began to gather and refine the luck of the area.

[Congratulations to the Human Emperor, you have temporarily conquered the nine lands of Shangyu, and have gained the good fortune here. ]

[If you can successfully defend this place before the luck returns to you, the Human Emperor Seal will smoothly take over the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and the Misty Barrier will close again. If you fail halfway, the Misty Barrier will not appear, and the entire Qingliang Prefecture will be in a state of war forever. ]

"call!"

Ren also heard the reminder from Star Gate, but he didn't feel surprised because he had already fully understood the rules before.

"brush!"

He jumped down from the sky, but saw Feng Lin already standing outside: "Is this all right?"

"Yes." Feng Lin nodded slightly, turned his head and looked towards the southeast again, and said softly: "We need to rush to Zhentian Pass now, place the Dragon Cauldron in the formation, and swallow the luck of the Nine Lands of Shangyu together with the Human Emperor Seal. This way, it will be much faster."

"Ah."

Ren also thought for a moment: "Before going to Zhentian Pass, I still need to communicate with...!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

At this moment, Er Leng suddenly ran over and shouted, "The left wing army of the Grand Prince of Southern Xinjiang has arrived and is arrayed outside the city. The Grand Prince wants to see you."

"it is good!"

Ren nodded and immediately called out, "Notify the leader of the Green Camp and all the people in charge to go to the Great Prince's tent to discuss."

"Yes!" Erleng nodded immediately and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, for winning the Shangyu Nine Lands!"

Ren also smiled modestly: "Work hard, and I will make you the chief eunuch at the end of the year."

"?!"

Erleng was stunned: "Eunuch?!"

"Don't be afraid. With the relationship between you and me, it would be enough to just give it in half as a token of your appreciation."

"...Thank you, Your Highness. Erlang has decided that after this matter is over, he will retire and return home."

"Ha ha!"

The two smiled at each other, and Erleng rode away.

……

An hour later.

Outside Shangyu County, in the eldest prince’s military tent.

The Dragon Chief, Ren Ye, as well as a group of generals and the leaders of the Green Camp, all gathered together, about fifty people in total.

The eldest prince took the main seat, clasped his fists and said to Ren Ye: "Congratulations to brother Huai Wang. You have broken through the city in less than two hours and have taken all of Shangyu's nine lands!"

Ren also politely and modestly replied: "This is all thanks to the help of the Green Camp and the Northern Expedition Army. I just went with the flow and took advantage of the situation."

"hehe."

The eldest prince smiled and changed the subject smoothly: "Now, the whole territory of Shangyu is almost a foregone conclusion. The Green Camp and the Left Route Army only need to divide their troops to occupy the towns along the way to completely control this place. The only variable now is my royal brother. The battle at Shimonoseki is fierce, and my royal brother has not yet taken the city, and Daqian has raised 400,000 troops and is on the way to help...!"

The Dragon Head thought for a moment and said, "We need to speed up the process of seizing the luck."

Ren Ye interrupted and said, "The Human Emperor Seal is stationed in Shangyu, and has already begun to seize the luck. I have discussed with the military advisor and plan to set up a formation at Zhentian Pass, and set up another formation from the southeast, and seize the luck at the same time. This way, we can speed up the process."

"Really?!" The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have another treasure that can swallow up luck?"

"I borrowed it from my master." Ren Ye lied smoothly.

"That's great. This way, the time to seize the fortune can be cut in half." The eldest prince slowly stood up, walked to the hanging map, pointed to the location of Maguan and said, "Everyone, if this is the case, then my army and the Green Camp can simultaneously send 150,000 soldiers and horses to attack Maguan directly and break the city together with my brother. The soldiers under me will occupy the towns and villages of Jiudi along the way to ensure that there will be no more chaos inside. And the brothers of Prince Huai can take the treasure to Zhentianguan to seize the fortune. If everything goes well, the overall situation will be settled within two days."

"Everyone, do you have any different opinions?"

He turned around and asked.

"This is a great plan!"

"You can follow the orders of the Grand Prince!"

"...!"

Everyone responded one after another.

"Since no one has any other suggestions, then speed is of the essence. We will turn to Maguan in an hour." The eldest prince made the decision.

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

……

After leaving the eldest prince's tent, Ren Ye whispered to the dragon head: "We have our stance. Once we reach Juma Pass, everything will be subject to the second prince's military orders!"

The dragon head was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Yes, I know what's going on."

"After I go to Zhentian Pass, I have to go back to Qingliang Mansion." Ren Ye looked at her and added, "The third prince has entered the mansion. I have to take him here. Secondly, I have to take some wounded soldiers back and settle them down. If the war cannot be ended in a short time, we will have to fight a war in a row! This is a battle of life and death, so we have to be prepared for both situations."

"Okay. Then we'll meet at Juma Pass!" The dragon head nodded.

"It will take me less than a day to get there."

"Success will be accomplished immediately!" the dragon head replied with a smile.

"Mission accomplished! Damn it!" Ren Ye clenched his fists and shouted.

……

After the two separated, Ren Ye went to Zhentian Pass with Fenglin, Xu Bangzi, Lao Liu and others.

Li Yan, Fan Ming, Ji Canghai and others brought a group of experts to follow the army to reinforce Jumaguan.

late at night.

After Ren Ye and others arrived at Zhentian Pass, Feng Lin followed suit and set up the formation again, using the Dragon Tripod as the center of the formation and began to seize luck.

After everything was settled, everyone returned along the same route and rushed to Qingliang Prefecture with thousands of wounded soldiers.

The next day is dawn.

Ren Ye and others returned to their home base as a triumphant army and were warmly welcomed by countless people.

After entering the palace, everyone else went about their own business. Ren first changed his clothes and had a simple meal before preparing to go to the palace alone to meet the third prince.

A group of soldiers followed him out of the government office and prepared to go up the mountain.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted not far away: "The document library is on fire, on fire!"
