Horned Dragon Star was located in the Three Coves Quadrant and was extremely far away from Earth. Even Golden Immortals adept at Spatial Dao would need a month to reach it if they did not use warp portals.
If they used warp portals, it would only take three days.
Of course.
This was because the teleportation formation on Mars had already been destroyed. Otherwise, the immortals would have been able to teleport directly from Horned Dragon Star to Mars.
Meanwhile, Jiang He was riding the white fox, crossing the stars and returning to Earth.
Pausing in outer space for a while, Jiang He looked down at the many grotto-heavens that flickered in immortal radiance and frowned.
There were several of those grotto-heavens within the borders of the Hua Nation alone, and there were even more overseas. There appeared to be similar regions in other countries as well, and once those grotto-heavens were completely revealed, there would definitely be chaos on Earth. Earth would expand several times in size, its landscape would change, and natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis might occur.
"Maybe I could find a chance to persuade the owners of those grotto-heavens to not come out … since they could refine hundreds or even thousands of miles into a single inch, they could just move their grotto-heavens away."
With that thought in mind, Jiang He passed through the atmosphere and landed in the Hua Nation.
* * * Meanwhile, Wang Hou could not help breathing a long sigh of relief when he sensed Jiang He's return.
It was good that he was fine.
Jiang He had been too impulsive.
How bold was he to take the initiative to attack when there were a dozen Heavenly Immortals, four True Immortals, and one Golden Immortal?
Wang Hou did not say anything, but he was very worried after Jiang He left. Taking to the air to greet him, he cut to the chase and asked, "How did it go, Jiang He? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine."
Jiang He replied.
His elation dimmed at Wang Hou's question, and he flashed a pained smile. "I'm sorry, Minister Wang … I failed."
Wang Hou did a double take, and could not help laughing. "Why would you apologize to me, Jiang He? The Hua Nation's current situation is almost entirely your doing. If not for you, there's no telling how much of a storm the immortal sects, demonic sects, and daemon cultivators would have stirred after they showed up. "
"If not for you, we wouldn't have dared to touch those Feral Kings."
"If it weren't for you, the Sky Demon Cult would have been very difficult to eliminate. Once they lead the Sky Demon Race to invade Earth, who could stop them?"
At that, Wang Hou paused for a moment before bowing deeply at Jiang He, saying, "I should be the one saying sorry. I'm too weak and can't help you much."
Jiang He stared at Wang Hou weirdly.
Minister Wang …
What was the point of saying all this?
It was a little sensational.
This fellow was usually not afraid of the heavens or the earth. He was a domineering and arrogant master. Could it be that he had been possessed by someone?
He scanned with his Immortal Senses.
Noble was in the Paragon Plane of martial arts. His martial arts aura was not something that others could imitate.
Beside them, Wang Hou was unaware of Jiang He's thoughts. Seeing the dejected look on Jiang He's face, he comforted him, "Actually, you've done well enough. As for the immortals of the various sects … I'm sure they would not wreak havoc on Earth for no reason, or they would have to bear the consequences if civilians were killed or injured."
"Your failure must have drawn the attention of the returning immortals … Jiang He!"
Wang Hou turned towards Jiang He and began to persuade him to leave Earth again.
Jiang He was utterly confused.
Why mention that out of the blue?
Shaking his head, Jiang He said, "I won't leave Earth for the time being, Minister Wang. As for the returning immortals …"
Hehe.
Smiling faintly, Jiang He said confidently, "I won't bother with them if they know their place. But if they dare to cause trouble, I'll just have to kill them all."
At that, Jiang He's tone changed and he chuckled bitterly, saying, "The returning immortals are Golden Immortal-pinnacle, so it's not like I can't handle them. The only thing that's troublesome is that I couldn't wipe them all out in one fell swoop when I ambushed the elites of the Green Hill Foxes, allowing two True Immortals and seven Heavenly Immortals to escape …"
"Hold on …"
Wang Hou's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise, "What did you just say? Didn't you say you failed? "
"It's a mistake."
Jiang He was at a loss for words. "Didn't I just say that two True Immortals and seven Heavenly Immortals managed to escape? Wouldn't it be a failure if I could kill them all?"
Wang Hou had nothing to say to that.
You call that a failure?
Did you misunderstand what a failure is?
His eyes narrowed right then as he realized the other meaning behind Jiang He's words, and he asked somberly, "Are you saying that you've killed the Golden Immortals of the Green Hill Foxes? And killed two True Immortals and several Heavenly Immortals as well? "
Jiang He shook his head.
"…"
Wang Hou felt like he was going crazy. You said that two True Immortals and seven Heavenly Immortals managed to escape, but doesn't that mean you killed everyone else?
He was about to press the matter when Jiang He quietly said, "I only killed one Golden Immortal and one True Immortal, but I'm not sure how many Heavenly Immortals there were. I attacked too quickly and couldn't count, and I didn't kill the other True Immortal. Instead, I captured him alive."
Since he did not kill them and captured them alive naturally did not fulfill the condition of killing two True Immortals, there was nothing wrong with Jiang He shaking his head.
With that, Jiang He could not help feeling moved when he saw that Wang Hou was spacing out. "It seems that Minister Wang has expected the repercussions of letting the tiger return to the mountain, which is why he is worried. Whatever, I'll hurry up and earn Farm Points to improve my ability. If I'm strong enough, I wouldn't have failed this time, and if I could wipe out Grand Luo, so what if a few managed to escape?"
At that thought, Jiang He said, "Alright, Minister Wang. I have something urgent to attend to at home. You don't have to worry about the return of the immortals, and I'll deal with everything as soon as possible."
Whoosh!
He turned into a sword light and disappeared over the horizon.
Around a dozen minutes later, Jiang He landed in front of his house in Jinyintan Village. He promptly entered his farm and planted every immortal crystal at one go, and after he was done, he put away his farm and carried it with him.
After all, he still had to head to outer space to ambush the elites of the nine factions and the Penglai Sect. Carrying his farm with him and farming in outer space was quite a different experience.
"Oh, right …"
"I have to contact the Taixu Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
Jiang He took to the skies, but paused just as he was about to charge out of the atmosphere. He took out his communications jade charm and dialed Jin Sidao's number.
Jin Sidao's silhouette appeared, his face glowing as he smiled. "Mister Jiang, why did you remember to contact me?"
"There's something I need to trouble you with."
Jiang He cut straight to the point. "The immortals are about to return. I've already killed the Golden Immortal of the Green Hill Foxes, and I'm about to head to outer space again to ambush the elites of the nine factions and the Penglai Sect."
"Contact the Taixu Sect, the Jiuhua Sect, the Scale Dragons, and other sects and factions that I don't have much of a grudge against. Come with me to outer space later. When the time comes, you can point out the Immortals of your sects. What if I accidentally hurt them when I don't know them?"
Pausing, Jiang He then added, "Accidentally hurting them is a small matter since I'll just apologize to them if push comes to shove … but what if I accidentally kill them?"
