"Eh? Uncle with a broken arm, is this a bounty for you? "
The man with a broken arm looked at the portrait with an ugly expression.
"Zi Yingying, I'm leaving!" The man with a broken arm said in a deep voice.
"Ah? Why? "Zi Yingying asked anxiously.
"Don't worry. If I'm still alive, I'll be back in a few years. Now, I have more important things to do! "The man with a broken arm said in a deep voice.
"I see. Alright!" Zi Yingying said.
"I've lost my arm. Now, you have to help me!" The man with a broken arm said anxiously.
"Yes, Uncle with a broken arm, tell me. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely help you!"
"I've checked this valley. There are a few ephedra over there. Take them and I'll teach you how to make hair dye later. Also, squeeze out the juice from the gray vine over there and apply it on my body to change my skin color. Also, shave my eyebrows." The man with a broken arm shook his head.
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Another two years later.
Zhong Shan brought the first batch of people back to the Daikon State and the High Heaven with his harvest from the Central Continent.
When he rushed back to the High Heaven, the guards outside the High Heaven were on guard for a while. However, when they saw Zhong Shan, they were all excited.
"Greetings, Holy King!"
"Greetings, Holy King!"
…
…
…
Zhong Shan returned to the Imperial City amidst the respectful greetings of a group of soldiers and civilians. Along the way, the experts who had just joined the Daikon State were amazed at the luck and merit that filled the sky.
"This, is this the luck of the Holy Court? It's so terrifying? "
"So much luck!"
"Phew, it's indeed the majestic Daikon State!"
…
…
…
The experts who had just joined the Daikon State arrived at the Imperial City amidst sighs of admiration. He sighed in his heart that this trip had not been in vain and that he had made the right choice.
When Zhong Shan and the others arrived near the High Heaven, someone sent a message to the depths of the High Heaven. All the officials were alarmed. The Holy King had returned and quickly went to the Imperial City to pay his respects.
"Your subjects pay respect to the Holy King! Greetings to the Empress! Greetings, Crown Prince! "Outside the Longevity Hall, hundreds of officials bowed respectfully.
"No need for formalities!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Holy King!" The ministers all stood up.
"These are the new subjects of the Daikon State, Liu Wushuang!" Zhong Shan shouted.
"Present!" Liu Wushuang said respectfully.
"Take them to rest first!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Liu Wushuang answered.
"Everyone, the Daikon State has already arranged accommodations for all of you. You may leave with Liu Wushuang first. We will summon all of you another day!" Zhong Shan turned around and said.
"Yes!" The people summoned by the Middle Continent answered.
At the same time, they were very curious. Arranged? How was that possible? They had just arrived! Of course, they did not say much for the time being.
"I am the chief commander of the Daikon State's Embroidered Uniform Guards, Liu Wushuang. Everyone, please follow me!" Liu Wushuang said with a smile.
"Mm, okay!"
"Thank you, Lord Liu!"
… … …
… …
… …
Liu Wushuang led the crowd away after exchanging pleasantries.
Those who stayed behind were all the old officials of the Daikon State.
At this moment, all the old officials of the Daikon State were staring at Zhong Tian.
A Saint? 'Really?' This was a Saint?
Zhong Tian's aura was restrained, and he looked no different from an ordinary person. The only difference was that they could not see his face clearly. That was enough.
The officials had already confirmed that Zhong Tian was a Saint. The Daikon State also had a Saint.
"Congratulations, Big Brother, for becoming a Saint of Heaven and Earth!" Crown Prince Zhong Xuan said with a smile.
"Third Brother, long time no see!" Zhong Tian exclaimed.
Long time no see? It really had been a long time. Zhong Xuan, who was mistakenly thought to have betrayed his father, was actually protecting Zhong Shan with his life. This was enough to clear all misunderstandings.
"Little Xuanzi, your smile is so fake!" Xian Xian laughed.
"Eh?" Zhong Xuan's face stiffened, and he was slightly flustered. However, he quickly recovered and realized that Emperor Xian Xian was teasing him. He immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Everyone, you may leave first. If there is anything else, wait for a few days for the imperial court meeting!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" All the officials replied.
The officials of the Daikon State left. Yi Yan, Shui Jing, Nangong Sheng, and the other old officials stayed behind.
"Xian Xian, Huan Ji, you and Bao 'er go to Bao' er's palace first. The three of you brought back so many things, go and sort them out!" Zhong Shan smiled.
"Mm!" Huan Ji and Bao 'er nodded, while Xian Xian stuck out her tongue.
After sending everyone off, Zhong Shan led the core officials of the Daikon State to Heaven's Fate Pavilion.
In Heaven's Fate Pavilion, Zhong Shan sat in front of his desk.
"Yi Yan, Shui Jing, these days, you have worked hard!" Zhong Shan said.
"We have not worked hard. The soldiers on the frontlines have worked hard!" Shui Jing shook his head.
"Hehe, Mr. Shui Jing, you have been working hard recently. However, we have seen the results, so we do not feel tired. After the news of the Crown Prince becoming a Holy Sage, our morale soared, while the enemy's morale fell. Therefore, it has become easier for us to conquer cities. Moreover, Shen Gongbao has already instigated many of the enemy's defection. The 12 Domains will enter our Daikon State in less than 20 years!" Yi Yan said excitedly.
"Good!" Zhong Shan nodded in satisfaction.
The officials of the Daikon State were excited.
"Xuan 'er!" Zhong Shan looked at Zhong Xuan.
"Father!" Zhong Xuan nodded.
"I asked you to look at the World Peak. Did anything strange happen?" Zhong Shan asked.
"World Peak? I have been paying attention to it, but nothing strange happened! "Zhong Xuan shook his head and said strangely.
"But I feel that something is not right. Try to calculate it again. Ziyang Jinghong, help Xuan 'er to calculate the World Peak for me. I have a bad feeling about this! "Zhong Shan shook his head.
"Yes!" Ziyang Jinghong replied.
"Father, don't worry. I will try my best!" Zhong Xuan nodded.
Zhong Shan then asked about the Daikon State's situation and dismissed the simple meeting.
After everyone left, only Zhong Shan was left in Heaven's Fate Pavilion. He tapped the table lightly. In the lotus pond between Zhong Shan's brows, the red and pink lotuses flickered, sometimes blue, sometimes red. Therefore, Zhong Shan's heart was not calm.
After sitting for a while, he did not find anything wrong.
"Come out!" Zhong Shan shouted.
"Whoosh!"
A black figure suddenly appeared in the empty hall and knelt on the ground.
"Shadow Guard, Number 1917, greets the Holy King!" The black figure said respectfully.
"Mm, did anything happen in the palace while I was away?" Zhong Shan asked curiously.
"Holy King, two guards in the palace neglected their duties for no reason more than two years ago. Later, Crown Prince Zhong Xuan determined that they were traitors to the Daikon State. One of them died and the other escaped! "Number 1917 said respectfully.
"Oh? Traitors to the Daikon State? "Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes.
"Yes. The two of them broke into Crown Prince Zhong Xuan's palace in the middle of the night. It seemed like they wanted to steal something. The Crown Prince attacked and killed one of them. The other escaped! The Crown Prince offered a reward of ten Immortal Ascension Pills! "Number 1917 said respectfully.
"Bring me their information!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!"
Number 1917 handed over two small booklets containing the information of the two traitors.
Looking at the information, Zhong Shan tapped the table lightly.
"Have you sent people to investigate?" Zhong Shan tapped for a while and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, the Embroidered Uniform Guards have sent people to investigate. The Shadow Guards have also sent people to investigate. They have investigated eight generations of their ancestors and all the major branches. The two of them have no criminal records. It's very likely that they couldn't resist the temptation of other forces and betrayed the Daikon State," Number 1917 said.
"No criminal records? Betrayed? One died and the other escaped? The one who escaped was able to escape under the noses of so many experts. It's obvious that he's very familiar with the Daikon State! "Zhong Shan said in a low voice.
"Holy King, should we send more people to search for them?" Number 1917 asked.
"Search, definitely search. However, don't make a big fuss. Just send the Shadow Guards. Don't alert anyone!" Zhong Shan said in a low voice.
"Yes!" Number 1917 said.
"You're dismissed!" Zhong Shan waved his hand.
"Yes!" Number 1917's figure flashed and disappeared.
Zhong Shan, on the other hand, closed his eyes and tapped the table lightly.
"Interesting. Something like this actually happened?" Zhong Shan muttered to himself coldly.
Yang Realm, Daikon State, east of the Holy Court.
In the main camp of the Daikon State's Eastern Army.
The commander of the Daikon State's First Army, Lin Xiao, sat in the main camp's seat and looked at the map in front of him with a happy expression.
"Commander, in two more years, the two eastern weaves will be completely conquered. Next will be the Red Top Weave," a general said excitedly.
"Yes, commander. Out of the four armies, our eastern army is the fastest. We'll definitely be the first to complete the Holy King's mission!" Another general said excitedly.
"Commander, then we'll also have the greatest military achievements!"
…
…
…
The generals laughed excitedly and rubbed their palms together. They wanted to quickly conquer the two eastern weaves in one go. Lin Xiao looked at the soldiers with satisfaction. With such high morale, why would he worry about not being able to conquer the city?
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier ran into the main camp's main hall.
"Commander, there are two people outside the hall requesting an audience. He also brought a letter for the Commander-in-Chief! "the soldier said. Then, he handed over a letter.
Lin Xiao took the letter doubtfully and opened it gently.
Daikon State is in danger. Nephew seeks help from Uncle Lin!
It was just nine words, and the words were ugly. However, Lin Xiao's pupils shrank when he saw it.
Smack!
Lin Xiao did not know whether it was real or fake, but he immediately closed the letter. Everyone looked at Lin Xiao doubtfully.
"Bring them in!" Lin Xiao said in a low voice. In the main hall, the soldiers immediately became serious. Furthermore, they all revealed murderous expressions.
"Yes!" The soldier went out.
Soon, two men walked in. One of them was dressed in a grey robe, while the other was wearing a bamboo hat and had no sleeves. They were both one-armed men.
Lin Xiao looked at them strangely. Nephew? Why didn't he know them?
"Are you looking for me?" Lin Xiao asked in a low voice.
"That's me!" The one-armed man said in a low voice.
Then, the one-armed man bowed respectfully to the yellow-robed man beside him and said, "I will always remember Mr. Huang's kindness!"
"Hahaha, I didn't do anything. I was just passing by. Although you lost your arms, you have a temper with me!" The yellow-robed man laughed.
Then, the grey-robed man said to Lin Xiao, "I have long heard of the Lin Army's prowess. I am not talented, but I would like to recommend myself to Marshal Lin and join the Daikon State! I met him on the way here and wanted to meet Marshal Lin, so I brought him along! "The yellow-robed man said solemnly.
Recommend himself? The generals were surprised.
"You wrote this letter?" Lin Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I wrote it!" The one-armed man suddenly said.
"Oh?" Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
He was in the late stage of the Form Synthesis Realm, but with his arms broken, his cultivation should have regressed to the Original Infant Stage.
"Please dismiss your men. I have something important to report!" The one-armed man said anxiously.
"Something important? What is it? "A general at the side said unhappily. We are having a good talk with the Marshal, and you want us to leave? Are you tired of living?
"Marshal Lin, you have seen my cultivation. I swear on my head that it is something important. I dare not lie to you. If I lie, I will die!" The one-armed man said anxiously.
Ignoring the generals, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and stared at the one-armed man. Although he was wearing a bamboo hat, Lin Xiao could still see his sincere eyes clearly. Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said, "You can leave first!"
"Marshal!" Everyone said strangely.
"Go!" Lin Xiao shook his head and said.
"Yes!" Everyone walked out reluctantly.
"Boom!" The door of the main hall slammed shut.
"Tell me, who are you?" Lin Xiao said in a low voice.
"Uncle Lin, I am Zhong Xuan. Uncle Lin, there is going to be trouble in the High Heaven!" The one-armed man said anxiously.
