It was late at night, and it was noon the next day. An orange light shot up into the sky from the embryo of the longsword. It was a Top Grade Spiritual Book. Lin Muyu could not remember how many Heavenly Tomes she had written, but she could feel that Fuxi's Divine Power in her arm was gushing into the Heavenly Tomes crazily. Every time a Heavenly Tomes was written, the energy and soul of the writer would be greatly consumed. This was also one of the reasons why Heavenly Tomes were so rare. Even though Lin Muyu had outstanding strength and a strong soul, she still felt a strong sense of weakness at this moment.
"Who's on duty?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Sir, it's me." Wei Chou's voice came from the outside.
"Come in."
"Yes!"
When Wei Chou pushed the door open and entered, he found a large pile of broken longswords on the ground. On the other side, there was a pile of finished weapon embryos that glowed with different colors. He could not help but be a little surprised. "Commander, how many Heavenly Tomes have you written in total?"
"I don't know."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "Prepare a sumptuous meal for me. I need to replenish my energy. In addition, let General Situ Xue come in and collect these longswords that have been made into books. Count the number of weapons that have been sent into the Longdan Army Camp's arsenal."
Wei Chou was startled and said, "Logically speaking, these Heavenly Tomes should be collected into the Heavenly Book Pavilion."
"It doesn't matter, the Heavenly Book Pavilion does not lack these. Let's bypass the Heavenly Book Pavilion and directly collect them into the arsenal of the Longdan Army Camp. Who can predict the outcome of the war in the future? Naturally, the more weapons we have in our hands, the better."
Wei Chou smiled and said, "Alright, I understand!"
Not long after, Situ Xue walked in with three chiliarchs. They quietly carried away all the Heavenly Book embryos and registered them in the warehouse. The officers of the Longdan Army Camp could claim these weapons as their own weapons. This would greatly increase the combat power of the Longdan Army Camp. Not long after, Situ Xue held a file in her hand and said respectfully, "Commander, a total of 11 Local Books, 24 Spiritual Books, and 7 Personal Books have been recorded in the military warehouse?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu sat tiredly on a chair, the Seven Luminaries Immortal Gourd and God Binding Lock shone brightly around her. The two martial souls were greedily absorbing the spirit energy of the world around them to replenish the profound energy that their masters had used. Lin Muyu glanced at Situ Xue and smiled, "You've worked hard. You and General Sen can choose one of these embryonic Earth Book swords as your personal sword. It will definitely be much sturdier than your original sword."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you very much, Commander!"
"You're welcome."
At this time, Wei Qiu walked in again. Behind him were three soldiers holding a silver cauldron. The cauldron was steaming hot, and it was filled with freshly made dishes. Lin Muyu invited the two subordinates to express that they had already eaten. Thus, Wei Qiu began to eat heartily by himself. In the blink of an eye, he had finished three cauldrons of dishes and four bowls of rice. He patted his belly in satisfaction and said, "Alright, you guys can go back to your work. I want to take a good rest. Wake me up if anything happens."
"Yes, Commander. Rest well."
After Wei Chou and Situ Xue left, Lin Muyu lay down on the bed. After falling asleep, a faint layer of battle flames condensed on the surface of her body, forming a thick layer of battle armor. At the same time, a layer of golden light enshrouded the surface of the battle armor. This was the astral energy generated by the Vajra Barrier. Before she knew it, Lin Muyu had already cultivated the fifth stage of the Vajra Barrier Divine Art.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was dark in Lanyan City. A bonfire rose in the Longdan Army Camp, and the night drill began. The sound of horses' hooves and the collision of longswords became one.
On Tongtian Street, pedestrians were in a hurry. It was particularly lonely at night without the night market. It seemed that everyone was just busy with their journey. Except for the sexy singers and dancers on the Flower and Wine Street, almost no one talked.
"Dang, dang …"
The bell under the horse's neck gently shook, making a crisp sound. Several people in cloaks entered Lanyan City. Their clothes were not in the style of the imperial capital, but they seemed to be from remote provinces such as Lingdong Province. There were five people in total. Under the night light, their eyes shone with a faint purple light. At the same time, they were equipped with swords and sabers at their waists, like wandering mercenaries.
The group stopped in front of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant and quickly entered the private room upstairs. But they didn't lift the cloaks on their heads from beginning to end. After entering the private room, they immediately closed the door.
In the dark corner of the street, a patrolman with a Fire Sparrow on his chest cupped his fists respectfully and said to the person in the dark, "Lord Xiao, that group of people has entered the Drunken Immortal Restaurant!"
The voice of the person in the dark was slightly hoarse, but it was full of energy. He said, "They have been in a hurry since entering the city, and they don't look like people from Lingbei Province. Are you sure that the gold coin they left at the city gate is the legendary Divine Capital Coin of the Demon Race?"
The patrolman said, "I can confirm that after defeating the Demon Race in the Wildfire Plains, the imperial army seized a lot of the Demon Race's spoils of war. Among them, this Divine Capital Coin is very common. I'm very sure that this group of people is most likely a high-level Demon Race. Even if they aren't, they should be spies among the Demon Race."
"Heh …" The person in the dark smiled. "That's enough. Prepare your claws and follow me to investigate. I, Xiao Han, would like to know who is secretly colluding with the Demon Race in Lanyan City."
"Yes, sir!" The subordinate was ready.
Xiao Han, ranked first among the twenty-one patrolman commanders of the Fire Sparrow Department, was known as the top constable of Lanyan City. He was twenty-eight years old and had a cultivation base of the first level of the Heaven Realm. He was the favorite subordinate of the Fire Sparrow Department's abbot, Zheng Gu. Xiao Han had been patrolling the Demon Race's spies for nearly half a year, and now he had finally found such an important clue.
…
In the darkness of the night, a row of fast horses galloped past on Tongtian Street. Two young men dressed in black robes dismounted and entered the Inn of Drunken Immortal, heading straight for the private room. Under the dim light of the inn's lanterns, the two men's faces were faintly discernible. Their faces were solemn, and the waiter recognized them with a single glance. These two men were the two Marquises of the Mansion of the Seven Seas, Marquis of North Ridge, Tang Lu, and Marquis of West Ridge, Tang Tian!
As if sensing the waiter's gaze, Tang Lu pulled down the hood of his cloak and said, "Guards, guard the restaurant for me. Prohibit anyone from entering or leaving."
"Yes, sir!" The guards of the Seven Seas Palace, disguised as guards, placed their hands on the hilts of their swords and guarded the entire restaurant.
However, no one noticed that in the dark sky, two figures floated down along the iron chains on the hooks and landed on the private room. Xiao Han's skills were exceptional. He landed on the room like a falling leaf without making a sound. The two patrolmen of the Fire Sparrow Department stuck to the room like bats, not making a sound. They also lowered their aura to the minimum. In terms of strength, Xiao Han was only at the first level of the Heaven Realm, but in terms of qinggong and aura control, he was probably at the level of a Saint.
"Squeak." The door was pushed open. Tang Lu and Tang Tian walked in, looking travel-worn. The five high-level devils in the room stood up one after another. One of them cupped his fists and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, Marquises. I'm the commander of the First Vanguard Battalion of the God Race, Xuan Jue. These four are my colleagues."
Tang Lu cupped his fists and said, "My apologies, my apologies."
Xuan Jue smiled and said, "The food and wine are ready. Let's drink and talk."
"Alright!"
The few of them sat down. Tang Lu glanced at the swords hanging on the waists of Xuan Jue and the others. His gaze turned cold and he looked at Tang Tian, hinting him to be careful.
But Xuan Jue laughed aloud and said, "The five of us entered Lanyan City alone and didn't plan to leave alive. Marquises, you don't have to be so cautious. This tavern is tightly surrounded by your people, and the entire capital is guarded by nearly 200,000 elite troops, including the Dragon's Courage Legion, the Imperial Army, and the Iron Blade Legion. We are already in a desperate situation, so how can we not be frank with each other?"
Tang Lu smiled and said, "Lord Xuan Jue is worrying too much. How about we toast first?"
"Alright!"
After downing the wine, Xuan Jue and the other Demon Race generals seemed to have no intention of eating. Looking at Tang Lu and Tang Tian's restless appearance, Xuan Jue couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, we are very cautious in our actions. You two don't have to be so cautious. Tell us, what is the bargaining chip this time? Marshal QianFeng is waiting for the news."
The corner of Tang Lu's mouth rose. He said, "Let's see what the Demon Race can take out first."
Xuan Jue laughed and said, "Marquis, you're a straightforward man. I'm impressed. Then I'll be frank with you. We can avoid the areas on the steel walls where the Marquis and Marquis are guarding. At the same time, once the God Race enters your territory, we will avoid the Seven Seas Province and Star Earth Province. We won't touch a single soldier of the Tang Family."
"This bargaining chip …"
Tang Lu grabbed an oily chicken leg and fiercely pulled it down from the chicken's body. He said with a ruthless expression, "Our Tang Family is not afraid of death. I think Lord Xuan Jue has misunderstood something."
Xuan Jue was startled and seemed to understand something. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "My words have offended you. Please forgive me, Marquis. Since this is the case … our God Race can agree to a condition of the Marquis as long as we can do it."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Very well." Tang Lu placed the half-eaten chicken leg on the plate and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He said, "I want you to kill someone."
Xuan Jue was startled. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said with a smile, "Kill someone? If it's Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu, and Xiang Yu, the three great commanders … forget it. The elders of the God Race may not be able to kill the three of them. "
"Don't worry." Tang Lu laughed mischievously. "The person I want you to kill won't be too strong, but the Demon Race must take action."
"Oh?" Xuan Jue looked straight at Tang Lu and asked with a face full of smiles, "Then, who does the Marquis want to kill that the God Race must take action?"
Tang Lu raised his hand and drank the wine. The wine cup fell heavily on the table and he said with a cold gaze, "Governor of Cangnan Province, Lord of Five Valleys City, Xu Jiantao!"
