Gentle Breeze The gentle breeze rustled, and the shadows of the bamboo swayed.
In a small tavern on the outskirts of the town, Ye Yang and Zeng Xuan sat facing each other on the second floor. The Azure Soul Sword was wrapped in a thick black cloth, resting behind Ye Yang. This Earth Divine Weapon was simply too eye-catching; although its sheen was not overly bright, its ancient and mysterious qualities made it clear to any discerning eye that this sword was no ordinary item.
"It seems that there haven't been any Divine Craftsmen capable of forging Earth Divine Weapons on the continent for a long time..."
Zeng Xuan took a sip of tea, gazing at the hilt of the Azure Soul Sword, and smiled, "Indeed, Zi Yu, this Azure Soul Sword truly deserves its reputation as one of the top Divine Weapons of our time. As far as I know, the only other artifact-level Weapons currently are the Azure Dragon Halberd in the hands of Xiang Yu and the Crimson Sky Sword wielded by Liu Bang. This Azure Soul Sword is certainly on par with those two; it must be utilized well."
"Mm."
Ye Yang nodded with a smile, thinking to himself: "If Xiang Yu and Liu Bang can vie for control over the world, then with my possession of the Azure Soul Sword, I must also strive for greatness. Otherwise, the Fire God Clan will never rise again. The rise of a family requires more than just extraordinary talent; it must also have strong military power backing it. I am merely a passerby; while I may not be able to seize control over the world, at least I must secure enough leverage for the Fire God Clan..."
...
"Hey, why do you look so troubled?" Zeng Xuan smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to worry. That Yun Xiaoxi has already safely left the Asura Hall. Xuan Lian won't tear apart relations with Serene Gate, so it's impossible for them to kill Yun Xiaoxi. Moreover, we have already exited the realm of the Asura Hall, so Xuan Lian won't pursue us outside."
"Why wouldn't Xuan Lian pursue us?" Ye Yang asked in surprise.
Zeng Xuan chuckled lightly: "You still don't know? Xuan Lian has been placed under restrictions. During a battle between Hidden Dragon Hall and Asura Hall, he fell victim to a restriction from Elder Qingxuan. Once he steps outside the bounds of the Asura Hall, his power will continuously diminish. I believe that with my strength at the Starry Sky Sixth Level, he wouldn't dare to chase after us; otherwise, I could easily wear him down using my Teleportation Technique!"
Ye Yang nodded: "I see..."
At that moment, the Innkeeper approached with a courteous smile and asked, "What would you like to order?"
"What delicious dishes do you have?" Zeng Xuan, leaning gracefully against the railing, asked with a charming smile. Her light clothing fluttered, revealing a glimpse of her fair and delicate legs. As a strong individual at the Starry Sky Sixth Level, she showed no hint of being an expert.
Looking at Zeng Xuan's alluring figure that quickened his heartbeat, the Innkeeper couldn't help but swallow hard and said, "Our tavern has many signature dishes: braised wild pheasant, red-braised venison, charcoal-grilled bear paw—there are countless options. What would you like to try?"
Zeng Xuan nodded, "Alright, bring out the signature dishes, and two jars of Apricot Blossom Wine. Don't tell me you don't have it; if you don't, I'll tear down your little shop!"
The Innkeeper fell silent, his face turning purple.
Ye Yang stood up, his palm raised as a Gentle Breeze swept through, causing Zeng Xuan's clothes to flutter and cover her enchanting Snow Legs. Ye Yang smirked, unsure of what to say. After a few seconds, he asked, "Sister Xuan, you've ordered so many dishes; do you have the money to pay for them?"
Zeng Xuan chuckled lightly, "With you here, what do I have to fear?"
"What if I don't have any money either?"
"Then we'll just dine and dash..."
"......"
The Innkeeper's expression grew even darker as he looked at Ye Yang in his armor and the red cloak behind him. He said, "My lord, you... you wouldn't really dine and dash, would you?"
Ye Yang smiled, "How could that be?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a silver ingot from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Is this enough?"
"That's more than enough!"
"Wait!"
"What else can I do for you, my lord?" The Innkeeper asked very respectfully.
Ye Yang took a deep breath and said, "Recently, how are the situations with the Qin Army and Chu Army?"
Innkeeper cautiously said, "Let's not talk about state affairs!"
"Smack!"
Ye Yang slammed his hand on the table, causing the dishes to fly up, and angrily said, "If you want to speak, then speak!"
"Yes, yes, my lord..."
Innkeeper glanced around and continued, "Xiang Liang is leading the elite of the Chu Army in a standoff against the Qin Army at Ding Tao. Qin Ershi has dispatched General Zhang Han to command hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at Ding Tao, creating an imposing presence. However, Xiang Liang is exceptionally brave and has already slain Qin Army commander Li You, showing great potential to swallow the Qin Army's hundreds of thousands of troops..."
"Oh, I see..." Ye Yang pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the other forces? Any news from Qi State?"
Innkeeper's expression turned serious as he replied, "The borders of Qi State have almost been completely devoured. The four fierce generals under Ye Yang have consecutively captured over a dozen cities. Now, the entire territory of Qi State has fallen, and the old nobility are fleeing into the borders of Wei Kingdom. At this point, the lords of Qi State can be considered extinct."
Ye Yang felt a surge of joy; indeed, Zhang Tianhe, Wang Lie, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei had not disappointed him. They had relentlessly conquered all of Qi State within half a month. Such remarkable military achievements were enough to intimidate both the Chu Army and the Qin Army. However, being so conspicuous was not necessarily a good thing; after all, the foundation of Ye Yang's army was still unstable. The reason for their continuous victories was primarily due to three Starry Sky-Level Generals leading them, along with a thousand Dragon Warriors supporting them. Ordinary soldiers would certainly be no match.
"Alright, that's enough. You may go now; hurry up and bring the wine and dishes!"
"Yes, my lord, please wait a moment!"
...
Ye Yang slowly sat down and picked up his teacup, taking a light sip.
Zeng Xuan lazily leaned against the railing, chuckling as she looked at Ye Yang, saying, "Zi Yu, do you really want to be an emperor? I have seen countless monarchs who were not happy at all. I think even if you seize the world, it won't mean much. Wouldn't it be better to travel the world with your sister and savor all the delicacies?"
Ye Yang smiled lightly and replied, "Sister Xuan, we can discuss that later. First, I must be responsible for the Fire God Clan. When the Fire God Clan rises again, I will let go of all burdens. At that time, wherever you say to go, we will go; after all, I will have plenty of free time."
"This is what you said, I remember it!"
"Mm."
Soon after, a table full of delicacies was served, bringing great joy to Ye Yang and Zeng Xuan. It was surprising that such delicious food could be found in such a remote place. Indeed, one only knows the taste of the wild after entering the mountains. A meal like this could never be found in Liang City, a bustling commercial hub.
Seeing Zeng Xuan biting into the venison, Ye Yang couldn't help but chuckle, "Slow down, no one is going to snatch it away..."
As he spoke, Ye Yang suddenly felt a bit emotional and said, "Sister Xuan, you've worked hard these past six months. When the four elders of Asura Hall captured you, I had no idea; Grandpa Qin didn't tell me. I'm sorry..."
Zeng Xuan laughed lightly, "It's nothing. When I'm in a good mood, I'll just go back and take care of those four elders one by one. It's a small matter..."
Ye Yang's heart trembled. Now that Zeng Xuan had already reached the Starry Sky Sixth Level of cultivation, she certainly had the qualifications to say such things. As for himself, he still felt somewhat inadequate. At least when facing the four elders alone, Ye Yang couldn't guarantee he would come out unscathed unless he transformed into the third level of Fire God Warrior, but that was something Ye Yang was unwilling to attempt again.
"Alright, after we finish eating, let's head back to Liang City. It's time to consider relocating the capital!"
Ye Yang clapped his hands, understanding that Liang City was located at the junction of Qi, Chu, and Wei, where various forces were vying for power. It could not be used as a capital. To develop a new city that gathered economy, military strength, and talent, it was necessary to relocate Ye Family Forge and Azure Thunder Merchant Association.
