Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 247 - 156: The Road to Kingship, Personally Paved by Ji Dang_2

After arriving here, they did not see Lord Wei, who had called everyone to unite and kill Yan Shiyin.

At this moment, a young man whom Chen Qing had saved came out to explain that Lord Wei himself had gone to rescue those who had headed south.

Hearing this, everyone calmed down immediately, and instead felt more respect for Chen Qing.

And not far from the Dao Origin Land, a ghostly place had appeared.

It gathered no less than dozens of Foundation Establishment evil spirits, and the number was growing.

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators sensed the threat of these evil spirits. Unfortunately, Chen Qing was not there, and they couldn't reach a consensus.

So they could only wait here for Chen Qing's return.

There were already about six hundred Foundation Establishments gathered here, all coming to join Chen Qing's forces, hoping that Chen Qing could halt Yan Shiyin's attack.

Without Chen Qing, the Dao Origin Land was chaotic, and everyone was discussing how to kill Yan Shiyin.

But when it came to Yan Shiyin's forces, they lost confidence.

Yan Shiyin's forces were double theirs.

After waiting for two days, they suddenly received orders to go and welcome Lord Wei.

A large number of Foundation Establishments descended the mountain together, awaiting Chen Qing's arrival.

"That Qingxu is just an affiliate of the Xuan Bird Tribe, how dare he act so grandly?"

"If it wasn't for him taking the lead in rallying everyone, it's uncertain who would be calling the shots now."

These were comments from some powerful tribes.

"Lord Wei is finally coming back, who knows how this battle will be fought."

"In the past, we never fought such a large-scale war involving thousands of Foundation Establishments, who knows what it will look like."

"Wait for Lord Wei's command, only he can stand against Yan Shiyin."

These were the words of people whom Chen Qing had saved, as well as some ordinary tribes.

They did not think Chen Qing was unworthy because they were not much different from Chen Qing's background and had been favored by him.

Of course, there were also many from the Jiguang Sect mixed among them who knew well that Chen Qing held a very high position in the Jiguang Sect; he was their immediate superior.

Before seeing Chen Qing arrive, they saw more than sixty evil spirits paving the way and rushing towards them.

"Where did these evil spirits get the nerve?"

"Previously, they were only arrogant because Lord Wei wasn't around. Could it be they think they have the qualifications to compete as well?"

"Look, Lord Wei seems to be the leader of these evil spirits!"

Chen Qing brought sixty-two Foundation Establishment evil spirits to the front of the Dao Origin Land and commanded, "Stop!"

All the evil spirits obediently complied, not daring to make any other moves.

Their perspective was different from that of Cultivators. In their eyes, Chen Qing could control their life and death with a single thought, obliterate their Divine Souls.

Moreover, they hoped Chen Qing could drink away their pain and grant them freedom.

Glancing at these disorganized Foundation Establishments from various tribes, Chen Qing, thinking of Yan Shiyin's army, immediately felt this battle was a lost cause.

It seemed it wasn't time for the final battle yet.

Yan Shiyin's Mystic Gate Army was experienced in warfare, while these scattered Foundation Establishments might be strong individually, but on the battlefield, they probably couldn't match Yan Shiyin's forces.

Chen Qing rode forward among these Foundation Establishments.

"You must understand, I am your only choice. If you don't follow me, your only path is death!"

"From this day on, I don't want to hear anyone claiming to be from any tribe, those are all in the past!"

"Without Yan Shiyin's death, you have no right to call yourselves any tribe!"

"Yan Shiyin is not some chaotic rebel! He is a cruel hero, and you all escaped from under his butcher's knife!"

"Don't dream of having a chance to retreat to the mountains and forests in Nanli to avoid his slaughter, can you escape in the Death Realm?"

"Would the dignified main tribes of Wu Country, the esteemed Foundation Establishments, want to live a life of hiding?"

"We only have the chance to live if we kill him!"

"The road has come to an end. You have no choice!"

"Do you want to flee all your life, waiting for your death to arrive!"

"Or follow me, kill him, your choice!"

"I also want to make it clear to you, once you choose to follow me, then you must execute my orders. Disobedience will be punished by death!"

"Now, those willing to follow me, stay. Those unwilling, go down the mountain!"

When Chen Qing finished, he quietly waited.

Sure enough, more than thirty Foundation Establishments were dissatisfied with Chen Qing's violent rule and wanted to leave.

After these people left, Chen Qing said, "Then the remaining ones are willing to follow me."

"Very well, my first order to you is to kill the thirty-five people who left!"

Those hiding from the Jiguang Sect, as well as those willing to follow Chen Qing, immediately responded. Seeing a large number of Cultivators chasing down the mountain, others followed suit.

In less than half an hour, thirty-five heads were brought back.

Nearly six hundred people dealing with thirty-five, there was no suspense.

After rewarding those with merit, Chen Qing found Su Yi, Zhang Can, Yan Bailiang, and Ma Yuan, to discuss how to continue expanding the team and training soldiers.

The five entered the main hall at the center of the Dao Origin Land, and Chen Qing directly asked, "Are there any more Foundation Establishments planning to join us?"

Su Yi found a chair and sat down, saying, "I reckon about a hundred people are still on the way, but that's about it."

"Yan Shiyin took the initiative, and with many Foundation Establishments near the royal city, no matter how we recruit in Wu Country, it's hard to resist."

Chen Qing pondered for a moment, asking, "What is the situation further south in Yan Country?"

Yan Bailiang, who was familiar with Yan Country's situation, explained, "The situation in Yan Country is equally chaotic, just not as clear-cut as here."

Chen Qing turned his gaze to Ma Yuan, "Inform the higher-ups in the sect, I want control over all the sect's Foundation Establishments in Yan Country!"

Ma Yuan cupped his hands, saying, "I will go communicate with the higher-ups in the sect."

After waiting for an hour, Ma Yuan returned and reported, "The sect discussed for a long time and agreed."

Chen Qing thought for a moment, asked, "Do you have the chance to communicate with the Miao God's Divine Envoy?"

Everyone remained silent for a long time, "The Miao God's Divine Envoy rarely appears, it would be difficult."

Chen Qing found it troublesome, "If we can't communicate with the Miao God's Divine Envoy and directly deploy troops to Yan Country to conquer a large number of Foundation Establishments, it will surely cause dissatisfaction among Yan Country's Foundation Establishments."

"By then, if another Yan Shiyin emerges in Yan Country, we will be attacked from both sides, making the situation worse."

Su Yi's eyes turned, and he stepped forward saying, "We can claim we are heading to pay pilgrimage to the Miao God, passing through Yan Country to Longevity Mountain to worship the Miao God."

"Along the way, we can attack various large tribes, subdue a large number of Foundation Establishments, and use them as soldiers!"

"Sir can also mobilize those hidden from the Jiguang Sect, surely accomplishing great things!"

Chen Qing asked Zhang Can again, "Are there any top tribes or long-standing sects in Yan Country?"

Zhang Can said, "For Yan Country, it's the Dragon Elephant Tribe, which has many Power Spirit Gu and strong forces."

Hearing about the Power Spirit Gu, Chen Qing was immediately intrigued.

"Gather all Foundation Establishments, march to Yan Country, heading directly for the Dragon Elephant Tribe!"

"And say we invite them to join us in worshiping the Miao God, then find a pretext to start a war!"

"With one battle, annihilate the Dragon Elephant Tribe, seize Power Spirit Gu, and train experts!"

Yan Bailiang, being a Daoist, asked, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"What if Yan Country seeks retribution in the future?"

Chen Qing said, "We can use Yan Shiyin's method to support a descendant of the Dragon Elephant Tribe!"

"As long as we can bring back a Mystic Gate Realm descendant for the Dragon Elephant Tribe from the Death Realm in the future, nothing major will happen."

Chen Qing stood up, seriously stating, "Besides, today we have no way to survive, are we still thinking about the future?"

Right now, with life and death at stake, there was no time to worry about future matters.

Yan Bailiang asked again, "So we're abandoning our territories in southern Wu Country?"

Chen Qing said straightforwardly, "Keeping them is useless, we can't defend them. In the end, it's Yan Shiyin's!"

"Without land, there's no people, both are lost."

"With land, but the people are there, both are gained!"

"Better to exploit the guise of pilgrimage, to seize troops from the chaotic Yan Country, strengthen, and then return to defeat Yan Shiyin!"

"Immediately give orders, depart at dawn tomorrow!"

"Order all Jiguang Sect members in Yan Country, persuade large tribes to join me!"

Yan Shiyin had already turned the tables, and Chen Qing didn't mind such cross-border expeditions anymore.
