"Your Excellency, I've recruited the workers to build the yard!"
Jiang Xiao stood quietly in front of Junior Leopard and said respectfully, "But, Your Excellency, there is a refined iron mine there. Do you really want to build a yard there?"
"The Earth Evil Qi there is so strong that even if it is a refined iron mine, ordinary workers can't mine it. If they can't mine it, it is no different from waste. I need Evil Qi to practice, so I'd better build a yard there!" Junior Leopard said.
"Even so, Your Excellency, this is too sudden. You see, there is not enough manpower in the territory. If you suddenly want to build a yard, you will inevitably transfer a lot of people here. Your Excellency, although the territory is yours and you are free to do whatever you want, it is really not a good time to build a yard!"
"Are you admonishing me?" Junior Leopard's voice was slightly low.
"I don't dare, I just …" Hearing the displeasure in Junior Leopard's tone, Jiang Xiao hurriedly said.
"Well, don't say anymore. I know it seems to be for your good, but this yard must be built. If you don't want to, I will find someone else to do it!" Junior Leopard waved his hand, "Well, I'm tired, you can leave!"
"Yes!" Jiang Xiao answered and left.
… …
… …
"Old Jiang, are you out of your mind?" As soon as he went out, Zhu Ba came up to him and complained, "Your Excellency can do whatever you want. Why do you talk back to him? I think Your Excellency is in a bad mood this time!"
"Alas, I don't want to, but it is really inappropriate for Your Excellency to build a yard now!" At this point, his tone was somewhat dejected. "Sir wasn't like this in the past. As long as our words were reasonable, he would listen to us. Why is he so stubborn this time?" As he spoke, he shook his head and left with a sigh.
"This subordinate of yours is quite loyal!"
Jiang Xiao's sigh outside could not be hidden from Junior Leopard and Golden Rooster in the room. After Jiang Xiao left, Golden Rooster flashed out from behind the screen and said with a smile.
"This guy is a good person, but it is not appropriate to tell him some things now!" Junior Leopard shook his head and said, "By the way, you have been to that place, how is it?"
"Nice place!" Golden Rooster said.
"That's good. When the time comes, you'll be the foreman. You'll handle everything!"
"I don't think that's a good idea. It's too eye-catching!"
"I'm the lord of this place. It's normal for me to promote someone to be a foreman!" Junior Leopard said, "No one will care about such a small thing. Moreover, if I want to build a courtyard, people might think that I, the new lord, am greedy for pleasure and look down on me!"
"No one is that stupid!" Golden Rooster glanced at him with a sneer and said, "You build a courtyard with such great fanfare. The first thing people will think of is not that you are greedy for pleasure, but that there are some secrets in your courtyard. I think it won't be long before someone comes to investigate!"
"With you here, I have nothing to be afraid of. By the way, when will the people from Immortal Palace arrive?"
"Just like these few days!" Golden Rooster said, "This time, because it involves the entrance of the Azure Secret Area, Immortal Palace attaches great importance to it. Among the people who will come, there is a master of formations and a Pure Yang Celestial Device!" Speaking of this, he took a deep look at Junior Leopard and said, "Boy, you are very lucky this time. But at the same time, you are closely tied to our Immortal Palace. We are bound together for good or bad!"
"I am one of the 28 constellations of Immortal Palace. I have been tied to you for a long time!" Junior Leopard laughed and said, "This time, it's just to deepen the relationship between us!"
"Well, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I'll go there and have a look first!" Golden Rooster was a very dedicated person. After chatting with Junior Leopard for a while, he left.
Seeing Golden Rooster leave, Junior Leopard also stood up. Although his territory had just been established, because he was a lazy person, the mechanism was very sound. As long as it was not something important or life-threatening, he did not need to deal with it personally. Just like this time, he only needed to give an order to build a courtyard. Although Jiang Xiao was somewhat against it, since Junior Leopard had already given an order, he had to carry it out to the letter.
"It's time to deal with the matter of Black Demon Chama. I heard that this guy has caused a lot of trouble in those territories and has attracted a lot of attention!" Junior Leopard thought in his heart. His figure flashed, and a cloud of fire rushed out of the house and shot straight to the sky.
This time, Junior Leopard had practiced Gang Qi successfully. Therefore, when flying, he did not need to use the Dragon Flying Technique. In contrast, although the Dragon Flying Technique was free and unfettered, it was too ostentatious after all. However, the cloud of fire wrapped around his body was not only powerful but also compatible with the martial arts he practiced, so it would not arouse people's imagination.
As his cultivation got higher and higher, Junior Leopard's understanding of Gang Qi became more and more perfect. Naturally, he knew that Gang Qi had another magical function besides attack and defense.
That was to materialize it!
For example, his Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang Qi could materialize into the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Cover, and his Jade Original Power Gang could materialize into a huge Thunder Saber.
Of course, the premise of materializing Gang Qi was that one's Gang Qi must be practiced to a very profound level, and the Gang Qi must be full of intelligence.
Therefore, experts who could materialize Gang Qi were few and far between. However, this condition was easily met by Junior Leopard. His Internal Qi was full of intelligence. As soon as he formed Gang, he refined nine Fire Dragons. For ordinary people who practiced the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, it was already very lucky if they could refine one Fire Dragon when they formed Gang. Even if they could materialize Gang Qi in the future, they could only materialize one Dragon Heavenly Fire Cover or two Dragon Heavenly Fire Cover, which could not be compared with his Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Cover.
Of course, even if they practiced the same kind of Gang Qi, the result after materialization would be completely different. Just like his Jade Original Power Gang could materialize into a huge Thunder Saber, Junior Leopard believed that Wang She's Jade Original Power Gang could not materialize into a Thunder Saber.
That was not his style.
At this moment, Junior Leopard was already standing in the air 1,000 feet high. The fire clouds around him had disappeared, but there was still a fire cloud under his feet. He was like a legendary immortal riding the clouds. He looked around and let out a long roar.
The howl shook the sky and lasted for a long time. In the shortest time, it spread to a radius of 100 miles. The people in the territory were startled by the howl, but they immediately lowered their heads and continued with their work as if nothing had happened. Because they knew that it was their lord summoning his pet, the Silver Wolf.
"Howl —!"
Before the howl ended, a mournful howl of a wolf sounded from afar. Then came the second howl, the third, the fourth. The sound was getting closer and closer. A silver line shot from the place where the sky and the earth met. The howl did not stop, and it cut open the earth.
This was Little Du!
Since coming to the prairie, Little Du had been in the state of letting go. In just a few months, it had already become the overlord of the wolf pack within a radius of 1,000 miles.
Through Little Du, Junior Leopard indirectly controlled the prairie wolves in his hands.
What was the most terrible thing about making a living on the prairie?
The wolf pack. Because the wolf pack not only attacked people, but also attacked cattle and sheep. This was a huge threat to anyone living on the prairie. Moreover, the wolf pack was bloodthirsty, cruel, and endless. There was no good way to deal with these creatures full of evil wisdom.
Just a few days ago, under Junior Leopard's instruction, Little Du led a few large wolf packs to attack his neighboring land, which was the territory of Wang Hua, a branch of the Wang family who had a conflict with him. At that time, Wang Hua lost nearly half of his cattle and sheep, which was a great loss of strength.
Looking at the increasingly spirited Little Du rushing to his feet, Junior Leopard laughed happily. "Let's go, Little Du. Let's go and meet an old friend!"
Little Du seemed to understand Junior Leopard's meaning. It gave a low hiss happily and rushed to the southeast.
"Haha!" Junior Leopard also laughed. He drove his Gang Qi and closely followed Little Du.
The Blacktail Plain was located in the southeast of Junior Leopard's territory, about 3,000 miles away. When he came to his territory for the first time, it took him many days to reach his territory through the Blacktail Plain. But now, with only him and Little Du, the speed was much faster. In just four to six hours, one man and one beast arrived at the Blacktail Plain.
"Wow, it's quite lively here!"
As soon as he arrived at the Blacktail Plain, Junior Leopard felt something was wrong. There were too many people here.
The Blacktail Plain was originally a forbidden area on the prairie. There were swamps and floating grass everywhere. If ordinary people came here, they would be swallowed by the swamps. Moreover, there was no production here, so almost no one came here. But now, as soon as he entered the Blacktail Plain, Junior Leopard saw several groups of people walking carefully on the swamps, as if they were looking for something.
Most of these people were Sinners. Their clothes were ragged, and their faces were sallow and emaciated. They were strung together by ropes and forced to walk forward. Beside and behind them were well-dressed soldiers.
Soldiers?
Somewhat, but not entirely. These people's clothes seemed to be soldiers. But after a closer look, Junior Leopard couldn't help laughing. He understood that they should be similar to the urban management in his territory. They were all the lord's private soldiers.
People like them who had obtained the title of fief could have private soldiers, but the number was not large. For example, Zhou Bao, who was conferred the title of Wuyang County, was a viscount. He could have 800 private soldiers. And the urban management under Junior Leopard's command occupied the quota of 800 private soldiers.
Therefore, judging from their appearance, they should be the private soldiers of one of the nearby feudal lords. The reason why they adopted such a method was probably because they had suffered losses in the grassland swamp. That was why they adopted such a method to explore the mysterious grassland like the Japanese did in the past.
As for the group of private soldiers, in addition to driving the sinners forward, they also marked the roads along the way, marking out all the paths that could be walked on.
"It seems that this lord is also a conscientious person!" Junior Leopard thought to himself. Just at this moment, a cry of alarm came. He turned around and saw that the sinners in front of him had fallen into a mud pit and were shouting for help.
"Go, go, go, go! It's none of your business here!" Several sinners around wanted to rescue them, but they were driven away by the private soldiers behind them with whips.
"Go, go, go, go, a bunch of useless things. Go, go, go, I don't have time to waste with you here!" A man who seemed to be the leader of the private soldiers waved a long whip and shouted loudly, "Today, before the sun sets, if you can't push forward for more than 10 miles, you won't have dinner today.
If you can push it further than ten miles, I won't have dinner tonight. If you make me get scolded again, I promise, you —! " Before his voice died away, he seemed to sense something. He turned around and saw a cyan-clothed teenager standing not far away, looking at him indifferently. Beside the teenager stood a strong and spirited Silver Wolf.
Not knowing why, as soon as he saw the cyan-clothed man, he couldn't help shivering. He turned his head abruptly and dared not to look at him again, nor did he dare to ask his identity.
In recent days, more and more people came to the Blacktail Plain, including many martial arts masters. He was just a small leader of the private army. It was okay for him to show off his power to these defenseless sinners. But if he provoked some martial arts masters or powerhouses, he would be in serious trouble.
This time, Junior Leopard came to find Black Demon Chama, and he didn't want to make any trouble here. He raised his hand gently, and a huge suction force appeared in an instant, rescuing the sinners who fell into the mud pit.
Seeing Junior Leopard rescue the sinners, the surrounding people stopped. The leader of the private soldiers' heart sank, and his expression became perturbed. He thought that he might have met some Jianghu swordsman who came to fight for justice. If so, he would be in trouble. Even if he didn't die, he would lose a layer of skin.
"You're their leader?!"
Just as he was feeling anxious, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears. He shivered violently and almost fell to the ground.
"Yes, yes, I am!"
"Whose subordinate are you? Why are you driving so many sinners here?"
"I, I'm Lord Qin's subordinate. The area within a radius of 100 miles is Lord Qin's fief, but half of it is occupied by the Blacktail Plain. Therefore, Lord Qin, Lord Qin sent me to lead these sinners to explore the way!"
"Explore the way?" Junior Leopard nodded. He didn't know who this Lord Qin was, but since he could have a territory of 100 miles, it seemed that he had made a great contribution in the war against Northern Yuan. "Recently, there are many people coming to the Blacktail Plain, aren't there?"
"Yes, yes, because all the Lords have sent people to their fiefs. Many of their fiefs are around the Blacktail Plain, and, and —!" Speaking of this, the man revealed a weird smile, "And some of their Lords are unlucky. Their fiefs are in the middle of the Blacktail Plain. Therefore, many of their Lords have sent people to explore this Blacktail Plain!"
"Hehe, there are really some unlucky ones!" Junior Leopard almost laughed when he heard this. The fiefs were in the middle of the Blacktail Plain. It seemed that the rumor was true. When the Emperor was enfeoffed, he didn't know much about Northern Yuan. He just randomly drew it with his eyes closed. Otherwise, there shouldn't be such a situation. Although not many people knew about the Blacktail Plain, with the royal family's strength, they could find out the details after a little investigation. If they knew the details, they naturally wouldn't give the land to others easily. Of course, it didn't rule out that the Emperor wanted to deliberately tease some unlucky people.
"Well, since you're exploring the way, I won't disturb you!" Junior Leopard waved his hand and pointed to the sinners he had rescued. "The northern prairie is vast and sparsely populated. There are only a few people. If they all die, there won't be any left!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The leader of the private soldiers nodded repeatedly and buried his head to his waist. "I'll be careful, I'll be careful!" When he raised his head again, the man and the wolf had disappeared.
… …
… …
Junior Leopard followed Little Du and walked for more than an hour. They had gone deep into the Blacktail Plain. Although there were more and more people in the Blacktail Plain, almost none of them could go deep into the Blacktail Plain. Everyone was now in the initial state of exploration. It was impossible to alarm Black Demon Chama hiding in the depths of the Blacktail Plain.
The reason why Junior Leopard brought Little Du into the Blacktail Plain this time was that he had no confidence to find the whereabouts of Black Demon Chama.
The Black Demon Chama was an evil beast. Although he was not afraid of it, this was its home field, its nest. If it really wanted to hide, he would not be able to find it. Little Du had a super sensitive sense of smell, and it had fought with the Black Demon Chama before. Therefore, it was the best choice to bring it here.
Sure enough, Little Du soon found a clue in the dense grass swamp. Its nose was close to the ground and it sniffed gently. Then it ran quickly.
After running for another half an hour, he finally stopped and began to roar fiercely at a piece of grass that was floating in the air.
"Found it!" Junior Leopard smiled and pacified the restless Little Du. He walked to the grass, calmed his mind and released his spiritual mind. The slightest movement of grass within a radius of 10 miles was under his control.
"Then let's see the power of the legendary Pure Yang Celestial Device here!"
Junior Leopard was a little impatient at this time. His Pure Yang Celestial Device, Golden Flame Mirror, had been refined for some time, but he never had a chance to test its power. Today, he finally found this opportunity. He wanted to see the difference between this Pure Yang Celestial Device, which was said to be able to suppress the fate of a millennium family, and a celestial device of Mysterious Level.
A golden light rose from the back of his head and turned into a pale golden mirror. There were faint cloud patterns flashing on the surface of the mirror, echoing with the sunlight in the sky. With a violent flash, a straight golden light shot out from the mirror.
"Sh * t!"
Although he was prepared, the golden light was so dazzling that Junior Leopard flashed for a moment.
"Whoosh!" Almost as soon as the golden light shone on the grassland, the originally wet grassland began to churn. White steam rose up, and the originally watery wetland was completely wet, dry and cracked.
"What a great effect!" Junior Leopard was shocked and subconsciously manipulated the mirror. The golden light streaked across the surface of the grass. After a few rounds, the land within a radius of a thousand feet looked as if it had experienced a drought. The grass was pale and cracked, and the water plants were withered. The cracks on the ground were so big that even a fist could be put in. Junior Leopard was speechless. It should be known that it would take him a long time to achieve such an effect even if he used the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield to burn it. However, after a flash of the mirror light, it became like this. It could be seen how powerful the Golden Flame Mirror was.
While he was amazed, he felt a slight vibration under his feet.
"It's Chama. It can't stay here any longer!" Junior Leopard thought to himself. However, Chama did not rush out. With its natural alertness as an evil beast, it could easily feel the unique power of the Pure Yang Celestial Device coming from the ground. The coercion told it that it was useless to go up. Therefore, it wanted to escape from the underground, and it wanted to escape quietly.
However, it did not understand that if it escaped from the underground before, it would not be a problem. But now, the grassland, which was originally full of water grass, had become a piece of dry land under the Golden Flame Mirror. As it moved, the surface also moved. In addition, Little Du, who was beside Junior Leopard, also felt its spirit and roared softly.
Junior Leopard smiled gently and raised the Golden Flame Mirror high. The straight golden light began to move along the grassland. Wherever it went, the grassland turned into scorched earth.
The moving track of the golden light was also very clear. It was the route that Black Demon Chama escaped underground.
Bursts of white mist rose and thick smoke came out. All of a sudden, the light stopped moving, as if Black Demon Chama had stopped. But although it stopped, it did not show its head.
"What a cunning guy!"
It turned out that this guy felt that something was wrong and it was a little troublesome to escape. So, it lowered its head and drilled into the depths of the ground. Black Demon Chama was originally an evil beast born in the soil. It was born to dig holes. Of course, it could move freely in the soil.
Of course, it referred to the special swamps like the Blacktail Plain, which were full of water, so it was very convenient for it to move. However, it was not so smooth for it to move on the dry soil on the ground.
Therefore, it chose to drill into the ground.
With its ability, the most suitable place for it to move was 150 feet underground. It could not go any deeper, because it would encounter rock strata. It was just an evil beast, not a drill bit. Therefore, it chose to swim in the beginning. When it came to the soft place below, it began to drill down. And it was at this time that the power of the Golden Flame Mirror showed again.
Golden flames flashed out of the golden light and began to evaporate the water on the ground. At the beginning, the golden light of the mirror could completely evaporate the water 50 feet underground. Now the Golden Flame Mirror began to show its power. More and more water was evaporated. The grassland from the ground to the underground was all scorched earth.
"Crack, crack —!"
Because it was too dry, there were bursts of cracks on the ground. The cracks were getting bigger and bigger, and the surrounding dust was turned into flying ash.
The Golden Flame Mirror had stopped evaporating water, but it was still hanging behind Junior Leopard's head like a small sun. The golden light hit the ground directly and firmly nailed Black Demon Chama to the ground 1,000 feet underground.
