Wei Territory, in the sky.
Ye Yang hovered in the air, hands clasped behind his back, looking at Peng Yue and said, "My strength has now recovered to eighty percent. You are no match for me, so there's no need to think any further."
Peng Yue held his long sword and smiled lightly, "I know I can't defeat you. However, you will not be allowed to act recklessly within Wei Kingdom. Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I will not let you go."
Ye Yang couldn't help but laugh loudly, his eyes suddenly turning cold. "You intend to use Dragon Horn Ganoderma to harm Qi King and frame me. Don't think I don't know!"
Peng Yue's pupils contracted in shock, and he remained silent.
Ye Yang continued, "For now, I won't pursue this matter. Furthermore, Wei Kingdom has stationed one hundred thousand troops in Shangdang County, already swallowing up large tracts of land from Zhao State, yet they still eye Yanmen County and Hengshan County. Now, let me make it clear: my five thousand Vermilion Bird Knights can definitely flatten the entire Wei Kingdom within half a month. What do you have to compete with me for the world? Moreover, I currently possess the strength of Starry Sky Seventh Level. Even by myself, I can easily crush the defenses of Daliang City, killing King Wei and all his ministers. Peng Yue, what do you have to stop me?"
"I..."
Peng Yue trembled slightly, unable to articulate his thoughts. He felt anxious; as Ye Yang said, although Wei Kingdom had ample troops and supplies, it was incomparable to the elite forces of Ye Yang, the Vermilion Bird Knights. Just a single Starry Sky Seventh Level Ye Yang was enough to instill fear in King Wei, not to mention the backing of Hidden Dragon Hall and the forces of Qi State.
After a long pause, Peng Yue lowered his Battle Blade and said, "Rest assured, Ye Yang, I will not provoke such a terrifying opponent. Wei Kingdom will no longer covet the lands of Qi State. Soon, I will gradually withdraw the troops stationed in the northeastern border area. However, regarding King Yan, if there are any conflicts between Yan State and Qi State, it has nothing to do with my Wei Kingdom."
Ye Yang nodded. "I understand. Peng Yue, we are both from the same lineage of the Fire God Clan. I hope you can survive. As long as King Wei does not invade Qi State, I will not march westward. However, with Wei Kingdom adjacent to Qin territory and with Xiang Yu advancing towards Xianyang, reportedly having already overthrown Qin's third generation and declaring himself 'Western Chu Overlord', I wonder how much longer you can remain as this Wei State Chancellor...”
The muscles on Peng Yue's face twitched slightly; he clearly felt uncomfortable. Whether it was Ye Yang or the overlord Xiang Yu, neither was someone he could contend with. Caught between Qi State and Chu State, the future situation for Wei Kingdom would be dire—either bowing to Xiang Yu or yielding to Ye Yang. There were only these two paths available.
...
"Alright then, I'm leaving. Take care!" Ye Yang smiled faintly.
"Understood..." replied Peng Yue lightly.
Before his words faded away, Ye Yang had already vanished into the wind with two young women, flying away silently and leaving behind a faint crack in space—evidence of instantaneous movement through a spatial rift. This was a power of a strong individual at the level of Starry Sky Sixth Level. Now at the level of Starry Sky Seventh Level, he could tear open spatial rifts and take others along with him through spatial limitations.
Watching the starry sky's energy fluctuations above him, Peng Yue shook his head in melancholy and descended from the sky, landing far away in Daliang City. Soon after, cheers erupted from within the city,
"The Chancellor has returned! The Chancellor has returned! Our civil and military divine weapons have come back..."
……
On the other side, a supersonic air mass suddenly exploded in the sky, and a crack appeared in the air. Ye Yang, Yun Xiaoxi, and Yan Yao flew out from the fissure. Looking back, they saw that the circular crack, about two and a half meters in radius, was surrounded by lightning, flickering with a "crackling" sound. Within three seconds, it closed up. With Ye Yang's ability, he could only maintain the spatial fissure for that long.
Overhead was a bustling city.
"Where is this?" Yan Yao asked in confusion.
Ye Yang smiled slightly. "My ability allows me to sense about two hundred miles. We are likely at the border of Qi State, probably in some remote city. I haven't focused on studying it much; it might be one of the cities conquered by Tianhe, Zhao Yun, or Zhang Fei. Look, isn't that a large flag with the character 'Ye' flying on the city wall?"
Yun Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh. "You look so impressive; you're quite the capable Keeper!"
"Not really. Let's continue flying; we should reach Linzi within an hour. I'm eager to see Second Uncle!"
"Mm!"
The two girls nodded, and soon the three of them sped towards Linzi again, forming Starlit Armor on their bodies to counteract the fierce friction of the air currents. From the ground, it looked like three blazing meteors streaking across the sky, very beautiful.
……
Half an hour later, above Linzi City.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Accompanied by the intense sounds of colliding air currents, they instantly arrived above the city.
Ye Yang looked down at the flourishing city with pride. Now, Linzi City was completely under his control. The officials appointed by Wang Lie were diligently managing it, making this originally prosperous city even more orderly. More importantly, Ye Yang was very frugal regarding conscription and taxes; he had exempted taxes for five years and was very lenient with checkpoints for merchant caravans. This made trade flourish, with Azure Thunder Merchant Association becoming the commercial center of the entire continent. Linzi City circulated vast amounts of goods and manpower, its prosperity even rivaling that of the capital Xianyang.
On the southeast side of Linzi City, green mountains and clear waters were neighbors, with wisps of smoke rising gently. Connected by streets were several forges located at the edge of the green hills, where the sounds of hammering steel echoed densely. On Main Street, an endless stream of carts delivered goods into the forges; the heavily loaded carts made even the horses pulling them foam at the mouth from exhaustion. The cargo consisted of large blocks of azure stone from Yanmen County—Qi Iron Azure Obsidian!
After seizing Yanmen County and melting down Bright Moon Platform, they continuously mined Azure Obsidian. At least half of it was transported to Fire God Clan's Ye Family Forge. It was precisely because of the craftsmen at Ye Family Forge working day and night that batches of fine weapons were forged—most supplied to Ye Yang's army while a smaller portion was sold to Azure Thunder Merchant Association for commercial operations and provided to local warlords and various princely states.
Although Xiang Yu occupied half of the Kingdom, he could not win the hearts of the people. In the Chu Region, Zhao, Han, and Qin territories, there were still forces of resistance surviving.
...
Ye Yang gracefully landed in the center of the God of Fire Forge, where Ye Beichi was instructing Ye Shuang, who was sweating profusely as he infused True Qi into the furnace. However, the purity of his True Qi was insufficient to completely melt the Azure Obsidian inside the furnace.
"Sigh..." Ye Beichi sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Frost Child, your talent is lacking and far from being comparable to your brother. Zi Yu learned advanced refining techniques without a teacher, while you cannot even master the most basic refining techniques in the Fire God Technique. Perhaps I am asking too much of you..."
Ye Shuang looked distressed. "Father... I have been trying very hard to learn..."
"I know..."
Ye Beichi looked up at the sky and said, "Perhaps the Fire God Clan can only rely on Zi Yu and Yue'er to flourish..."
Ye Shuang fell silent.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Second Uncle, I disagree with you. Sometimes, talent can be cultivated!"
