Hearing that Long Yu and Shu Chan had made completely different choices, Yu Xuewu smiled slightly. "I guessed that would be the answer … So, Shu Chan, after you join the Snowdance Corps, you will temporarily be the head of the law enforcement team. As for the specific appointment notice, you will have to wait for Lady Yu Hanxin to evaluate you according to your achievements."
"Okay."
Shu Chan nodded and did not object.
She just wanted to kill as many minions of the Tianqin Dynasty as she could. She was not interested in what position she would take.
"In addition, the head of the Freedom Corps, Jiang Yixing, seems to have a special liking for you. If you are the head of the law enforcement team, the Freedom Corps will be more obedient …"
As Yu Xuewu spoke, she turned her head to look at Long Yu. "As for Long Yu, what are your plans next?"
"I am going back to the North Snow Imperial City."
Long Yu said truthfully. Then, he glanced at Shu Chan. "Do you want to leave the Asura Ancient Palace here, or should I take it back?"
Shu Chan thought for a moment. "You take it back. We have gained a lot this time. Don't forget my Asura Mansion when you go back."
"Don't worry about that."
Long Yu nodded.
For him, the Heavenly Mandate Manor was undoubtedly more important, but the Asura Mansion was equally important to him. After all, it was the only ally of the Heavenly Mandate Manor in the North Snow Imperial City.
This time, Long Yu had obtained a lot of cultivation resources, from weapons to elixirs to martial arts techniques to divine runes. It was enough to make a qualitative leap in the strength of more than 200 people.
Shu Chan also had a lot of credit. Of course, Long Yu would not take it all for himself. He would definitely give a part of it to the martial arts practitioners of the Asura Mansion.
The Heavenly Mandate Manor was full of friends and relatives that Long Yu had met on the Heavenly Mandate Island.
The Asura Mansion was full of talented young martial arts practitioners who had escaped from the Asura Prefecture.
At the moment, there was no doubt that the Asura Manor was much stronger. However, that might not be the case in the future. That was because the many martial arts cultivators in the Heavenly Mandate Manor were not bad. They only lacked cultivation resources. The most important thing was that the Heavenly Mandate Manor had many more people than the Asura Manor.
"I wonder if General Huo Yuanbai and his men have arrived."
Long Yu thought and soon said goodbye to Yu Xuewu and Shu Chan.
Next, there was only the battle between the Snowdance Corps and the Tianqin Divine Wing Corps. Moreover, the Tianqin Dynasty's plan to frame Long Yu and Shu Chan had been seen through. Perhaps the Tianqin Dynasty would soon retreat.
One must know that the Ice God Clan's exotic beasts in Ruoshui County had been repelled. Yu Hanxin would be able to free herself and come to Sky Mist County very soon.
Once Yu Hanxin arrived, the Tian Qin Divine Wing Legion would definitely suffer a great defeat, so the Tian Qin Crown Prince would definitely retreat in a short period of time.
Therefore, Long Yu was too lazy to care about the things here. It was better to hurry back to the North Snow Imperial City.
…
In the Asura Ancient Palace, not only were tens of thousands of Ice God Clan's exotic beasts sealed, but it also stored all the gains of Long Yu and Shu Chan.
These gains included the weapons and elixirs seized from the enemies killed along the way, as well as all the things obtained from the Shadow Trace Treasure Vault.
As for the gains in the Asura Abyss and Death Valley, as well as the many resources Long Yu obtained from Prince Yunduan, they all belonged to Long Yu and were stored in the storage space of the Void Spirit Dragon Blade.
Just one hundred thousand shenbi was a great fortune. However, this fortune could not be revealed casually. Otherwise, he would be implicated in Prince Cloudcloud's death.
As long as Long Yu did not give himself away, no matter how many people from the Cloud Empire came, they would not be able to find out that this matter was related to Long Yu.
After all, Prince Yunduan was killed by the Ice God Clan's exotic beasts. Even if they found the remains of Prince Yunduan, they would not be able to find out that this matter was related to Long Yu and Shu Chan.
Regarding this, Long Yu was very relieved. He could finally swagger back to the North Snow Imperial City.
Even though Long Yu rode the invisible Asura Ancient Palace, it still took him three days and three nights to travel from the Sky Mist County to the North Snow Imperial City. This flying speed was related to his own martial arts realm.
If Long Yu could step into the King Path Secret Territory, he would be able to cover such a long distance in less than a day.
Long Yu first went to the Heavenly Mandate Manor outside the North Snow Imperial City.
Outside the North Snow Imperial City, there were hundreds of manors of various sizes. One of them was the Heavenly Mandate Manor that Yu Hanxin had arranged for Long Yu!
Among these hundreds of manors, almost all the masters of the manor were martial arts masters of the King Path Secret Realm.
Therefore, when Long Yu led the people of the Heavenly Mandate Island to the Heavenly Mandate Manor, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many martial arts cultivators of the North Snow Dynasty. This group of refugees from the Tianqin Dynasty, most of them were only in the Heavenly Being Secret Realm, and some were even in the True Spirit Secret Realm. Even the strongest was only in the low-level Theurgy Secret Realm. How could they have the ability to occupy a manor?
Because this was arranged by Yu Hanxin, no one dared to say anything for a while. But as time passed, more and more gossip about the Heavenly Mandate Manor was spread in the North Snow Imperial City.
Even the people in the Heavenly Mandate Manor would be pointed at by others as soon as they left the vicinity of the manor. When they went out to buy something, they would be deliberately harassed, and even forced to buy it at double the price.
At this time, how much money was there in the Heavenly Mandate Manor? There was not a single Shenbi. As for the North Snow Coins, they had to sell some useless elixirs and weapons to barely get some.
Such hard-earned money was forced to buy things at double the price. It was not hard to imagine how serious a blow it was to the Heavenly Mandate Manor!
However, under the leadership of Hong Yue, they managed to survive this difficult period.
Although Hong Yue did not have the highest martial arts cultivation in the Heavenly Mandate Manor, she was in charge of the defense matrix in the Heavenly Mandate Manor. Moreover, she was appointed by Long Yu, so she was in charge of the entire Heavenly Mandate Manor.
When Long Yu returned, Hong Yue was supervising the planting of herbs in the north corner of the manor.
In the Heavenly Mandate Manor, fertile soil was not uncommon, so Hong Yue came up with a way to make money. She planted herbs, then used these herbs to make elixirs, and sold them.
Now in the Heavenly Mandate Manor, there were many alchemists, and it was not a problem for them to make some low-level elixirs. However, low-level elixirs could not be sold for much money.
"Hong Yue."
Long Yu let the Asura Ancient Palace float invisibly over the entire Heavenly Mandate Manor, outside the defense matrix. Then, he landed alone in the vast herb garden and saw the beautiful woman, Hong Yue, who was busy directing the people.
Hong Yue was originally the Great Palace Lord of the Glaze Moon Palace on the Heavenly Mandate Continent. She was also the subordinate that the Asura King had arranged on the Heavenly Mandate Island to observe the situation of the entire floating island. Therefore, she was very good at management.
Now in the Heavenly Mandate Manor, there were hundreds of female cultivators from the Glaze Moon Palace who obeyed Hong Yue's orders. This was undoubtedly the largest force in the Heavenly Mandate Manor.
"Villa Lord, you are back!"
Hong Yue looked up and saw Long Yu descending from the sky. Her mature and beautiful face could not help but show joy, and she shouted.
Villa Lord?
When Long Yu heard this title, he was quite surprised. Then, he smiled and said, "What do you mean by calling me Villa Lord? If you must be a Villa Lord, you are more suitable to be the Villa Lord."
"At best, I am just a housekeeper."
Hong Yue showed a sweet smile and walked slowly toward Long Yu with the Third Palace Lord, Chi Yun, and the Fourth Palace Lord, Zi Ling.
The three of them happened to be supervising the women of the Glaze Moon Palace to plant the herbs together. They did not expect to see Long Yu coming back, and they all looked happy.
"Since the day the Villa Lord was established, he has not been in the manor for nearly half a year."
Long Yu asked.
"Villa Lord, you are busy. We all know that if it were not for you, so many of us would have lost our lives. How could we have the nerve to occupy the position of Villa Lord?"
Hong Yue covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this."
Long Yu waved his hand and changed the topic. "How is the manor recently? How is the situation?"
"The situation is okay, but the development prospects are not optimistic."
Speaking of this, Hong Yue's mature and beautiful face showed a touch of worry. "During the time you were not here, the people of the Heavenly Mandate Manor were looked down upon by others when they went out. Let's not talk about this for now. After all, it does not affect our development. More importantly, the North Snow Imperial Capital Grand Gathering is coming soon. At that time, if the Heavenly Mandate Manor does not have any major development, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep the position of the manor."
"North Snow Imperial Capital Grand Gathering?"
Long Yu frowned when he heard this. He had never heard of such a thing.
Seeing the doubt in Long Yu's eyes, the quiet and tranquil Fourth Palace Mistress Zi Ling explained, "The Imperial Capital Grand Banquet is a tradition of the North Snow Empire. Every year, after the Cold Lotus Fruit auction ends, the Imperial Capital Grand Banquet will be held."
"At the very beginning, the main purpose of this grand gathering was to celebrate the results of the auction of the Icy Lotus Fruit. Furthermore, the wealth obtained from the auction would be distributed to the various large forces within the North Snow Royal Capital as rewards. This included over a hundred manors and the various large forces within the royal capital. The main content of the Imperial Capital Grand Gathering was the competition between the hundreds of forces. The major forces would send out their younger generation to compete on the same stage. Finally, according to the results of the competition, the Cold Lotus Fruit would be distributed to the three forces with the best performance. "
"But now, the Imperial Capital Grand Gathering has become an event for the hundreds of forces near the North Snow Imperial Capital to compete with each other. The North Snow Emperor has added more rewards on top of the wealth obtained from the auction of the Cold Lotus Fruit. He has also set a rule for the Imperial Capital Grand Gathering. That is, the three forces that rank at the bottom will be banned!"
"Banned?"
Long Yu was shocked when he heard this.
"In other words, just like the previous owner of our Heavenly Mandate Manor, they will be stripped of their manor territory and used to reward other Martial Arts Cultivators."
Third Palace Lord Chi Yun, who had a fiery temper, said hatefully, "Right now, many people outside are saying that our Heavenly Mandate Manor will definitely rank at the bottom this year. When the time comes, we will have to give this place to others!"
"We have such a large place, but we don't have a cultivator from the Secret Realm of the Emperor Path. It will indeed attract jealousy."
