The Blue Sword, which had been fused with the 10,000-year-old Heavenly Peach Wood and purified by the Nine Heaven Thunder Yuan, was merely a Flying Sword of the Earth Rank, a celestial device at the Mysterious Level. Junior Leopard had personally refined the Blue Sword, so he naturally knew how difficult it was and how powerful the sword was.
The Dragonslayer was also a celestial device of the Mysterious Level. Logically speaking, it should not be weaker than the Blue Sword. However, except for its super aggressive nature, Junior Leopard did not find anything special about the Dragonslayer.
The shape of the Dragonslayer was like a crescent moon, and its whole body was emitting an extremely strong coldness. Through this dense coldness, Junior Leopard could also feel the terrifying power hidden in the Dragonslayer. However, although he could feel it, he didn't know how to exert this powerful power. At most, he could only use his Internal Qi to activate it and exert a power similar to the one that broke his Demon Devil Formation that day.
However, this power did not satisfy Junior Leopard.
He knew very well how powerful his Blue Sword was. As a Dragonslayer of the same level, he also had high expectations. Unfortunately, after nearly two months of fumbling, he still could not find a way to exert the full power of the Dragonslayer.
"Golden Rooster said that the Dragonslayer had the Original Spirit of a flood dragon sealed in it. It's a pity that I can feel the spirit of the flood dragon's Original Spirit, but I can't awaken it, let alone use it!" Junior Leopard sighed and put the Dragonslayer back into the space he had divided.
The Space Division Skill was very convenient. For Junior Leopard, it was not only convenient, but also the use of space by the Space Division Skill had greatly improved his Three Realms Division.
The Space Division Skill and the Three Realms Division contrasted and verified each other. Of course, there was another thing worth mentioning about the hollow travel. That was the Hollow Flying Carpet that he had obtained with the Dragonslayer.
In terms of quality, the Hollow Flying Carpet was only a celestial device of the Psychic Level. However, in terms of function, its value was absolutely no less than that of a celestial device of the Mysterious Level.
For a person like Junior Leopard who was so lucky, there were not too many secrets about the hollow travel. However, for others, it was extremely mysterious.
Because of this, after studying the Hollow Flying Carpet thoroughly, Junior Leopard sold it.
Yes, he sold it, and it was not a normal sale. He gave the Hollow Flying Carpet to the Four Seas Building, the largest Chamber of Commerce in the Great Jin. Through the Four Seas Building, he made a lot of money, which was no less than the wealth he had plundered from the secret chamber of the Cool Breeze Gang.
The reason why he sold the Hollow Flying Carpet was that he had studied its secrets thoroughly. Its working principle was similar to the Three Realms Division. The magic carpet also contained the Flickering Light Evil Qi. However, compared with the Three Realms Division, the special technique in the magic carpet was much inferior. That was why it produced such a large space fluctuation and was easily detected by Junior Leopard. The only thing he could offer was that the magic carpet was convenient to use and less effort than the Three Realms Division. Most importantly, how to attach the hollow travel special technique to the magic carpet was within the scope of refining celestial devices. Junior Leopard did not know that. For a person like Junior Leopard who had already understood the Space Division Skill and the Three Realms Division, the Hollow Flying Carpet was not very useful. Secondly, it would save him trouble to sell it. For Junior Leopard, this thing was not attractive at all. But for other barons, millennium families, and even the imperial court, it was a supreme treasure. With this thing, they would have a certain hollow travel ability, which made all the people in the martial arts world envious. If he carried this thing with him, it would undoubtedly be more eye-catching than the Dragonslayer. After all, no one knew the details of the Dragonslayer. Even those who secretly watched the fight between Junior Leopard and the Cool Breeze Gang only knew that it was a very aggressive celestial device. It might be very precious, but it was not fatally attractive. The Hollow Flying Carpet was different. Its hollow travel ability had fallen into the eyes of those who spied on it. Even if Junior Leopard kept it, it might be troublesome. It was better to maximize its value and sell it.
At the thought of the benefits he had obtained from the Cool Breeze Gang, Junior Leopard could not help but smile.
As the ancients said, a man would not be rich without a windfall, and a horse would not be fat without grass at night. This was a typical example.
As he thought about it, he thought of his own territory again.
He gently unfolded the map. It was a miniaturized version of the Great Jin's enfeoffment map. Although it was a miniaturized version, it was as big as a table, densely sketched out the names of the more than 2,000 fiefs and their owners. There was a rumor that except for a few major well-known and barons, the Jin Emperor blindfolded the fiefs of the other people. He asked a little eunuch beside him to call out the names of the meritorious officials, and then randomly marked the fiefs with a brush. The quality of the fiefs all depended on luck.
Although he did not know whether it was true or not, he no longer had unrealistic fantasies about his own fiefs.
"I hope the Blackstone Valley is not a desolate place!"
For example, the Seven Tribes of the South Yard were only active in the southern part of Northern Yuan. Their range of activity was equivalent to two or three provinces of Northern Yuan. Further north of the Seven Tribes of the South Yard was the territory of the Blackwolf Tribe. Further north, to the Little Stone River, was the territory of the Hengshan Tribe. The Hengshan Tribe was one of the nine tribes of Northern Yuan, but their sphere of influence was only on both sides of the Dragon-pressing River. Junior Leopard's fief was still more than 2,000 miles northwest of the Dragon-pressing River. It was originally the foothold of a remote tribe of Northern Yuan, so it could not be called a good place.
… …
… …
Junior Leopard's team traveled for several days, and their speed was obviously much faster than before. All of this was due to the guide. These days, they finally realized the benefits of having a guide.
The guide's name was Wendu. He was an aristocrat of a small tribe, so he knew more than ordinary people of Northern Yuan. Although the farthest place he had been before was the Little Stone River, he still knew something about the place north of the Dragon-pressing River.
Especially some special areas that might hinder the team's journey, he could point them out one by one, which saved Junior Leopard and the others a lot of trouble. Because of this, Junior Leopard and the others didn't treat Wendu too well.
With the passage of time, the further north they went, the colder the temperature became, the colder the wind became, and the changes in the weather became strange. Although Junior Leopard and the others had made sufficient preparations before coming, this group of guys from the southern temperate region was still very uncomfortable in the face of such changes in weather and temperature. Two veterans also fell ill, which delayed Junior Leopard's journey again.
Fortunately, these veterans were also trained. Although their cultivation was only at Level Two or Three, their physical resistance was still very strong. In addition, they met several other teams who also came to accept their fiefs, and there were also doctors in these teams. Therefore, there was no big problem.
Here, it was not so easy for the teams to separate, because everyone's fiefs were in the same place. One family's fief was even close to Junior Leopard's. It was a martial arts tycoon named Tie Kongyi. The so-called martial arts tycoon did not refer to a person from a wealthy family, but a hero. He might have very high martial arts skills, a wide circle of friends, or a great wealth, but his foundation was shallow. Although he might have friends all over the world, when he was in trouble, he could not make a friend who could be trusted. However, such a person also had a strong influence in a place. He was a typical representative of a local bully. This time, he also made contributions in the battle to destroy Northern Yuan and obtained a fief of 100 miles.
Obviously, he was a person with a strong spirit of adventure. Perhaps he also saw that his identity as a martial arts tycoon was not secure and had no foundation, so, like Junior Leopard, he came to his fief in person to look for real opportunities for development. That was why he met Junior Leopard.
In the final analysis, the so-called martial arts tycoon was just a local bully. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, it was limited.
Tie Kongyi's cultivation was only at Level Four. With a group of people, he set out a month earlier than Junior Leopard's team. However, when they arrived here, they had lost half of their men and were exhausted.
Because their fiefs were just next to each other, the people of the two sides naturally gathered together. Although Junior Leopard's team had fewer people, they were in a dominant position. Tie Kongyi had no objection to this.
In this regard, Tie Kongyi had no objection. Junior Leopard's strength had been recognized by the world. Besides, he came from the Wu Sect and had a very good relationship with Tian Long Taoism. Although he had few subordinates, each of them was extremely powerful, especially Zhu Ba, whose cultivation had reached Level Four. The wolf cub in his carriage, which was like a pet dog, made him, a Level Four expert, tremble in his heart with just a gentle roar. The horses in the team were even frightened and ran around.
What was more, Junior Leopard's fief was much larger than his. In a sense, his relationship with Junior Leopard was like that between the Jin and the barbarian neighbors in the south. He could not afford to offend such a person.
However, it was one thing for the team to be together, and another thing to manage it or not. Junior Leopard didn't even want to manage his own team, let alone others.
However, the benefits of being together were also obvious. Although Tie Kongyi had lost a lot of people, he had made sufficient preparations before. The guide was also a herdsman of the Hengshan Tribe and was more familiar with the terrain here than Wendu. Under his leadership, the group went very smoothly at first.
… …
… …
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
A small voice came to his ears. Junior Leopard, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, slightly moved his eyes. He could tell that it was Wendu's voice.
Since the two teams were merged, the guide brought by Tie Kongyi took over the job. Wendu seemed to have nothing to do, so his role was greatly reduced. If he hadn't worked hard in the previous days and the several leaders of the team had a good impression of him, he would have been kicked out of the team and wandered in the vast wilderness.
Now he did some chores in Junior Leopard's team. Anyway, he did the dirtiest and most tiring work. He was also a smart man who could see the situation clearly and had no complaints. Therefore, Junior Leopard had not paid much attention to him. Unexpectedly, he knocked on his car door in the middle of the night. What was he doing?
Although everyone in the team had prepared enough tents and rested in tents every night like herdsmen on the grassland, Junior Leopard was used to staying in the car, so no one dared to have any objection. Moreover, no one dared to disturb him at night if it was not necessary. Since the two teams were merged, Tie Kongyi had been very enthusiastic. Every night, the two teams would get together, drink, eat, play finger-guessing games, and chat. Life was very happy and the relationship between the two sides became very harmonious.
At this time, the moon had just risen in the sky. It should be the time for everyone to drink and party. Although Wendu's status was not high, he had always been eating meat and drinking with them around the fire. The only difference was that he sat far away from them.
"What are you doing here instead of serving there?" Junior Leopard raised his hand, and an invisible airflow lifted the curtain, revealing Wendu's frightened face.
"Your, Your Excellency, something is wrong!"
"Wrong? What's wrong?"
"The road seems to be wrong!" Wendu said.
Junior Leopard's heart skipped a beat, "The road is wrong? What's wrong?"
"I, I don't know, but, but I always feel something is wrong!" Wendu shook his head and said.
"Boy, are you unhappy because his guide knows more than you and has robbed you of your position, making you only able to do some hard work? Are you trying to frame him?" Junior Leopard laughed.
"No, no, no, absolutely not. Even if you gave me the courage to do such a thing, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"
"Didn't you say that you have never stepped on the Dragon-pressing River? In this vast wilderness, how do you know the road is wrong?"
"I, I'm not sure!" Wendu said with embarrassment, "The general direction is right, but I just saw a black-tailed pine when I was eating!"
"A black-tailed pine?" Junior Leopard was a little puzzled, "Wendu, make it clear. What's wrong with the black-tailed pine?"
"Well, I, I heard a rumor from a friend of the Hengshan tribe!" Wendu said, "My friend told me that there is a place called the Blacktail Plain to the north of the Dragon-pressing River. The Blacktail Plain looks no different from other places, but it is full of swamps and mud pits. The floating grass on it is no different from the surrounding areas. If someone accidentally steps on it, he will sink into it, and it will be too late to save him. Moreover, in addition to the swamps and mud pits, there are many dangerous places in the Blacktail Plain. Therefore, for the Hengshan tribe and even some tribes in the north of the tribe, the Blacktail Plain is a forbidden area!"
"Is there such a thing?" Junior Leopard narrowed his eyes and looked at Wendu. He asked him to get on the carriage and opened the map, "Are you sure? This is the Blacktail Plain? "
Wendu looked for a long time on the map and said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency, the location of the Blacktail Plain is not marked on the map. If I remember correctly, my friend said that the Blacktail Plain is in this area!" While speaking, he drew a range with his hand. Junior Leopard's expression became gloomy, because the location of the Blacktail Plain was between the Dragon-pressing River and his territory. But it was not a straight line, but a little bit to the east. Although they had been walking in the northwest direction these days, if the guide had deviated a little from the direction at the beginning, they would not have been discovered at that time. As the saying goes, a slight deviation could lead to a great error. After walking for such a long time, it was possible that the guide had really brought them to the Blacktail Plain.
Suddenly, he sneered and turned his eyes to the wall of the carriage. Although it was blocked by the wall, he could still clearly feel that the guide brought by Tie Kongyi was peeping in the dark. However, this kind of peeping only hid in the tall grass and looked at his carriage.
Now, Junior Leopard believed 80% of Wendu's words, "Wendu, why do you feel that something is wrong?"
"The Blacktail Pine. The reason why the Blacktail Plain is called the Blacktail Plain is that there are many Blacktail Pines on it. I saw one when I was eating just now, and I also saw one on the road today. But I didn't realize it at that time!"
"Very good!" Junior Leopard nodded with an expression of appreciation on his face. He patted Wendu's shoulder affectionately, just like how the Japanese patted the shoulder of the traitor interpreter in those days. One expression and one tone, "You did a good job. Do a good job, and I will treat you well!"
"Yes, yes!" Hearing Junior Leopard's words, Wendu became excited.
Different from Tie Kongyi's guide who was a herdsman, Wendu was a small aristocrat. Although his tribe was not big, he knew much more than Tie Kongyi's guide, and he cherished his life more. Since Junior Leopard took him to fly in the sky, he knew that Junior Leopard was an expert whose cultivation had reached at least Level Seven. Only experts of this level could fly in the sky.
What did a Level Seven expert mean?
In the past, there were only a dozen or twenty experts at Level Seven and above in the whole Northern Yuan. These people were the strongest combat capability, the most elite force, and also the group of people with the highest status on the prairie. Although he was an aristocrat, his tribe was not big. In his tribe, the strongest one was just a Level Four expert. As for Level Seven experts, he had only heard of them, but had never seen one. However, the Level Four warrior in his tribe had told him and his tribesmen countless times that a Level Seven expert was absolutely invincible.
Therefore, he could not resist Junior Leopard at all. His mind was full of flattery, hoping to get Junior Leopard's general knowledge and even put him in an important position.
However, he knew his own situation. He understood that he didn't have enough ability and capital to gain such appreciation. So he tried to lower his attitude and complete the tasks assigned by Junior Leopard and the others meticulously, hoping to gain Junior Leopard's favor in this way.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally found an opportunity for him to make a great contribution. Now that Junior Leopard seemed to believe his words, how could he not be happy?
"Go back first and pretend that nothing happened. The guide is secretly watching my carriage and may do something. For the sake of your safety, don't have too much contact with him. I'll investigate what you said!"
"Yes!" Wendu was stunned. He quickly bowed his head and got out of Junior Leopard's carriage and left in a hurry.
"Little Du, go and see if what this guy said is true!" Lying on the side, Little Du whimpered and jumped out of the carriage like lightning.
On the other hand, seeing Wendu get out of Junior Leopard's carriage, the guide who was secretly watching seemed a little anxious. He came out of the grass and followed behind Wendu.
Wendu was also a clever guy. After being reminded by Junior Leopard, he did not return to his own tent. He shared a tent with the guide, but they did not seem to have a common language. Under such circumstances, of course, he would not return to his own tent. Instead, he went directly to the bonfire where everyone was drinking and eating and sat down not far from them.
A silver light streaked across the night sky, rushing into the depths of the prairie. No one noticed that after a quarter of an hour, a wolf howl came from the depths of the prairie. Although it was very far away, everyone could still feel the power of this howl.
"Hey, it's the Silver Wolf of Your Excellency. Why did it leave Your Excellency's carriage?" Although he had drunk a lot of wine, Zhu Ba's cultivation was still there, so he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Little Du stayed in the carriage with Junior Leopard most of the day and rarely left. Why did it run into the depths of the prairie and howl in the middle of the night?
Wang Cheng, Jiang Xiao, and the others also came to their senses. They stood up one after another and looked in the direction of the howl. All of them showed puzzled expressions.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion not far away. Looking up, he saw that the guide had run to the side of the herd of horses, untied the reins of one of the horses, and leaped onto it.
"Oh no, he's going to escape!"
Seeing this situation, even a fool would understand what was going on. However, Zhu Ba, Wang Cheng, Jiang Xiao, and the others did not take action. This person was Tie Kongyi's subordinate, so they certainly would not overstep their authority.
However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as the guide got on the horse and urged it to gallop, he was caught by a powerless force in the air before he could run more than ten feet. He flew backward from the horse's back and fell heavily in the middle of the crowd. He didn't even give the crowd a chance to react.
"A bunch of fools, you've all been fooled by this guy!" Junior Leopard's voice rang in everyone's ears. "He took us to a dangerous place. You can ask Wendu about the details. As for …"
"Howl!" A thunderous sound rang in the depths of the prairie, interrupting Junior Leopard's words. Then, there was a mournful howl that shook the wilderness.
