Feng Run City, the City Lord's Mansion!
After listening to Lan Rong's detailed report, Yu Haoran, who was sitting on the armchair in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, frowned slightly.
Originally, according to his initial expectations, the Great Han Empire, which had suffered five consecutive losses, would definitely gather millions of elite soldiers in a short period of time and retake Feng Run City at all costs, whether it was to eliminate the hidden threat behind the empire or to obtain the nine Mythical Beast corpses hidden in the Mythical Beast Mountain.
This was also the main reason why he was in a hurry to return to Feng Run City.
However, according to the informants that Lan Rong had arranged, the Great Han Empire had indeed gathered more than five million elite soldiers recently. Moreover, it was the Emperor himself who led the expedition.
However, the goal of the expedition was not Feng Run City, but the more powerful Central Region.
For the Ministry of War and the Imperial Family of the Great Han Empire to neglect the hidden threat behind and temporarily give up the nine Mythical Beast corpses, something must have happened in the Tianxuan Continent during this period of time.
"Prince Consort, shouldn't we contact His Majesty?"
As someone who had been on the battlefield for decades, Lan Rong instinctively thought that the Great Han Empire's sudden change in the goal of the expedition was most likely related to the Great Emperor Qin Empire's plan to conquer the Central Region. Therefore, after thinking about it, he could not help but take the initiative to remind Lan Rong.
Lan Rong's reminder made Yu Haoran immediately realize the connection between the two matters. He quickly took out a top-notch Communication Jade Talisman and recorded his doubts in detail. Then, he sent it to Qin Lingfei, who was far away in the Prince's Mansion in Xianyang City.
At the same time, considering that Qin Lingfei was not at the frontline of the expedition and did not know much about the situation of the army, he took out another top-notch Communication Jade Talisman and sent it to Meng Zhengkai, who was once again on the battlefield.
After that, Yu Haoran closed his eyes and began to wait. He was waiting for Qin Lingfei and Meng Zhengkai's replies.
Fortunately, the top-notch Communication Jade Talisman was very fast. In just five minutes, he received Qin Lingfei's reply.
After reading the contents of Qin Lingfei's reply, Yu Haoran's expression suddenly shook as he cried out involuntarily, "Peak ninth grade Martial Revered Realm!"
Hearing Yu Haoran's exclamation, Lan Rong, Han Guangbei and the others who were waiting in the study revealed a trace of doubt in their eyes. They glanced at each other, but no one dared to take the initiative to ask.
Although Yu Haoran also noticed the eye contact between Lan Rong and the others, he had no intention of explaining. After closing his eyes again, he waited for Meng Zhengkai's reply while thinking about the changes in Emperor Qin's body.
Qin Lingfei's reply was very simple. She said that Emperor Qin's expedition to the Central Region was very smooth. Moreover, Emperor Qin who personally led the expedition had successfully advanced to the peak of the ninth level of the Exalted Realm.
It was because of this that he was extremely shocked!
Previously, when they were debating whether the expedition's target was the East Region or the Central Region, Emperor Qin's cultivation had only just broken through to the early second level of the Martial Revered Realm by using the high-quality Soul Fire that he had given him.
Now, only half a month had passed since the debate. With Emperor Qin's talent and accumulation, it was very difficult for him to raise his cultivation by one small level, let alone break through seven small levels consecutively to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Revered Realm.
Just as Yu Haoran was wondering why Emperor Qin's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, the Communication Jade Talisman in his hand, which was used to contact Meng Zhengkai, suddenly vibrated violently. This forced him to temporarily suppress his doubts and use his mind to read the message in the Communication Jade Talisman.
Luck!
According to the message that Meng Zhengkai had left in the Communication Jade Talisman, Emperor Qin's cultivation had directly advanced to the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Revered Realm in just half a month.
The reason was that the northern expedition army had been conquering hundreds of cities and sects. In a short period of time, they had gathered a large amount of destiny from the central region. The Qin Emperor had relied on the support of this huge amount of destiny to finally achieve a rapid improvement in his cultivation.
Although Meng Zhengkai's explanation seemed reasonable and reasonable, Yu Haoran knew that this situation was absolutely abnormal.
First of all, there was an abundance of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, rich cultivation resources, and complete martial arts inheritance. The cruel competition environment made the inherited families and sects in the Central Region not only very strong, but also fierce and combative. It was very difficult for them to voluntarily surrender.
Secondly, although the army of the Great Qin Empire in this expedition to the Central Region was said to have over ten million elite soldiers, in reality, more than half of the elite soldiers were only new recruits at the Martial Warrior and Martial Master Realm.
The cultivation, strength, knowledge, and courage of these new soldiers were not of much use and would even slow down the army's progress.
In other words, in just half a month, with the strength and speed of the expedition to the North, it was impossible for them to conquer hundreds of cities and sects.
Lastly, and most importantly, the luck that could be gathered from hundreds of cities and sects could not be compared to the huge amount of luck that had been gathered from the entire Southern Region.
With the huge amount of luck that had gathered from the entire Southern Region, and with the help of a large number of top-notch elixirs, Emperor Qin had finally broken through to the ordinary Martial Revered Realm.
Then, how could the luck that was far inferior to the entire Southern Region allow Emperor Qin to break through the bottleneck of seven small realms and reach the peak of Ninth Grade Martial Revered Realm in one go?
When he thought up to here, Yu Haoran instantly had a strong feeling that someone was secretly manipulating the Great Qin Empire's northern expedition plan and process, and that someone was secretly providing countless unimaginable assistance.
Even the sudden change in the Great Han Empire's target could very well be directly related to that person or that force.
Thinking that Emperor Qin might have secretly reached an agreement with a force with ulterior motives, or be secretly controlled by someone, he immediately wanted to return to Xianyang City and then go to the expedition to the North to understand the situation.
Compared to opening up the rear for future refuge, Emperor Qin's safety and the survival of tens of millions of elite soldiers were more important.
Therefore, Yu Haoran suddenly stood up and ordered Lan Rong.
"General Lan, I will be leaving Fengrun City for a period of time. Your mission is to defend Fengrun City, and then use the special environment of Qinghu Mountain Range and the cultivation resources that I left behind to increase your own strength and the army's strength."
Originally, the Great Han Empire had transferred five million elite soldiers to the Central Region, which would definitely cause the defense at the rear to be weakened. It was a good opportunity for them to expand their territory.
However, due to the influence of the top powerhouses of the left army, without the protection of himself and the Scarlet Loathe, and without the protection of the Defensive Formation of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, a rash expedition could very well lead to the danger of being completely annihilated.
After all, the strongest people in the left army, Lan Rong and Qian Guangbei, were only at the peak of Ninth Grade Martial Saint. He could only temporarily give up this golden opportunity.
