Leaving the Asura Mountain Realm, Ye Yang and Zeng Xuan no longer had any concerns. After finishing a meal, Ye Yang's True Qi had recovered about forty to fifty percent, allowing him to fly at full strength.
Zeng Xuan initially planned to use the Teleportation Technique to return to Liang City, but after some thought, she ultimately decided to accompany Ye Yang back by flying. She also wanted to see the scenery along the way.
...
Before evening, the city of Liang City, which was neither too big nor too small, appeared before them. Finally, they were home!
"Whoosh!"
The two landed simultaneously, and a smile appeared on Ye Yang's face. "I didn't expect to actually return alive to Liang City."
Zeng Xuan pouted but said nothing.
As they approached the city wall, a Dragon Armored Warrior recognized Ye Yang and couldn't help but shout in surprise, "Haha, the Young Master is back! The Young Master is back! Quickly, notify Wang Lie and General Zhang Tianhe that the Young Master has returned!"
In an instant, several powerful presences rushed over. Zhang Tianhe, Wang Lie, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun appeared at the foot of the city. Zhang Tianhe laughed heartily and stepped forward to pat Ye Yang on the shoulder. "Brother, you really came back! And you brought... um, Miss Zeng Xuan with you. That's great..."
Ye Yang glanced at Zeng Xuan and quietly said to Zhang Tianhe, "This isn't just a miss; this is a grand lady..."
Zeng Xuan raised her eyebrows with a fierce look. "You little brat, are you looking for trouble..."
Zhang Tianhe laughed heartily.
Wang Lie, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei stepped forward and knelt on one knee, saying in a deep voice, "We pay our respects to you!"
"Mm."
Ye Yang nodded and said, "Let's discuss it after we enter the city!"
A group of people followed Ye Yang into the city. Upon returning to the residence, Ye Yang sat steadily in the hall, listening to several subordinates report on the battle situation.
Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "In half a month, we have captured Eastern Sea County, Jibei Commandery, Eastern County, and other places, taking down fifty-six cities in total. Three days ago, we besieged Linzi, and now we have taken Linzi City. The entire territory of the former Qi State is now under our control!"
Wang Lie added, "Yes, however, most of the old nobility of Qi State have already relocated from the capital Linzi. Therefore, my lord, should we consider moving the capital? Otherwise, we will be constantly disturbed here..."
"Oh, disturbed?" Ye Yang was slightly taken aback.
Zhang Fei exclaimed angrily, "It's infuriating! While we were besieging Linzi, the Chu Army's general Song Yi actually let his cavalry trample our farmland and ordered his soldiers to plunder the towns around Liang City. This tactic is truly insidious; the Chu Army clearly has ill intentions and wants to make a move against Liang City!"
...
"I understand now..."
Ye Yang took a deep breath. In fact, he had already anticipated this. The Chu Army would certainly not allow him to develop and grow in Liang City. Moreover, having continuously captured cities across the entire territory of Qi State and growing in strength would undoubtedly make the Chu Army uneasy. Song Yi would be the first to be unable to sit still and would want to take action against him.
Zhang Tianhe stepped forward and said, "Zi Yu, Liang City is situated in a complex terrain with overlapping powers; it is suitable for defense but not for being a capital. We will always face various forces from the Chu Army at our edges. Therefore, the most urgent matter is to relocate the capital..."
"Yes." Ye Yang nodded. "I have considered this matter thoroughly. Relocating the capital to Linzi involves two crucial tasks: first, the Fire God Clan and Ye Family Forge must move to Linzi; second, the headquarters of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association must also relocate to Linzi. Only then can we ensure our foundation in Linzi."
Wang Lie nodded in agreement. "Understood. Currently, the Fire God Clan is led by Miss Peng Yue'er of the Peng Family; you should persuade her. Additionally, you must personally go to Azure Thunder Merchant Association as well."
"Got it..."
After dinner, Ye Yang, carrying the Azure Soul Sword and clad in armor, arrived at the Fire God Clan's Peng Family. From a distance, he could faintly sense a strong fiery aura emanating from the Pang Family Estate. Without a doubt, someone was cultivating there, and this person's strength was not weak—at least at the Earth Level Eight standard. Given that the elite of the Peng Family had all perished during the last turmoil, the only one capable of such cultivation would be Peng Yue'er.
He stepped forward and said to the steward, "Please inform Miss Peng that Ye Yang wishes to see her."
"Yes!" The steward recognized Ye Yang and respectfully withdrew. Soon after, the strong aura gradually approached. Indeed, Peng Yue'er appeared in a fiery red outfit, sweat glistening on her face, clearly having just finished her training.
"Yue'er, long time no see..."
"Yes, I heard you went to Asura Hall and fought against experts from the Redstone Alliance. How did it go?" Peng Yue'er asked.
"I lost, but I survived," Ye Yang replied succinctly. "Yue'er, I'm here this time mainly to discuss something with you."
"Oh? What is it?"
"The Fire God Clan can no longer settle here. The entire clan will relocate to Linzi, the capital of Qi State. That is our territory where the Fire God Clan can take root and develop better."
"Ah?" Peng Yue'er looked astonished. "How can this be? The Fire God Clan has been here for millions of years. Although I am now the head of the family, making such a decision..."
Ye Yang smiled and said, "Yue'er, think about it. The Fire God Clan has stood here for millions of years but is gradually declining. In times of hardship, one must change; change leads to new possibilities, does it not?"
Peng Yue'er opened her mouth but didn't know how to respond. Ye Yang's simple statement carried an unusual persuasive power.
"Well, when are we moving?"
"Tomorrow!"
"Is it that urgent?"
"It can't be helped; the Chu Army has already developed hostility towards us. The sooner we leave, the safer we will be."
"Alright, I will convene the Clan Elder Council tonight!"
"Okay, go ahead. The Fire God Clan is counting on you..."
...
After bidding farewell to Peng Yue'er, Ye Yang headed to the Azure Thunder Merchant Association. When he appeared in the Guild hall, several supervisors recognized him and respectfully said, "Young Master Ziyu, what brings you here?"
"Where is Lei Xiaodie?"
"Are you looking for the young lady?"
"Yes, is she here?"
At that moment, a clear voice came from the inner room: "Ziyu, what do you need from me?"
The curtain lifted, and Lei Xiaodie's graceful figure appeared in the room. She smiled lightly and approached, saying, "Ziyu, you finally returned. You wouldn't come here without a reason; what is it?"
"Lei Xiaodie..." Ye Yang pondered for a moment and said, "The Azure Thunder Merchant Association also has a branch in Linzi City, right?"
"Yes, what's up?"
"Let's move the headquarters to Linzi..."
Lei Xiaodie was surprised, "What's going on?"
"The terrain of Liang City is surrounded by strong enemies. I can't guarantee that the Azure Thunder Merchant Association won't be affected by the war, but Linzi is already my territory. So, moving to Linzi, I can provide you and the Azure Thunder Merchant Association with the greatest protection!"
Ye Yang looked at Lei Xiaodie and said resolutely, "I promise."
...
Lei Xiaodie pursed her red lips and said, "The biggest difference between the headquarters and the branches is that I am at the headquarters. Since you say it like that, then I will bring the valuable goods from here to Linzi. However, you must send guards for protection; otherwise, I cannot guarantee that this important batch of supplies won't be attacked along the way."
Ye Yang nodded with a smile, "No problem, I will personally escort you to Linzi. How does that sound?"
Lei Xiaodie smiled sweetly, "Hmm, that would be perfect!"
