Si Jiang Country?
Lu An was stunned. He did not know about this country and was confused. Tan Qin saw Lu An's expression and realized that Lu An did not know about the existence of Si Jiang Country. She frowned and asked, "Which country are you from?"
Lu An thought for a while and said, "Meng Country."
"Meng Country?!" Tan Qin took a deep breath and said, "Meng Country is separated from here by an entire desert. How did you fall unconscious in that pit?"
Lu An was stunned. He quickly understood that Meng Country and Si Jiang Country were countries that surrounded the entire desert. The Divine Religion's influence involved Meng Country, Hai Country, and a few other countries. However, their influence was limited to this area and could not affect the entire desert unless the cult leader became a Level 8 Master. In other words, the Divine Religion had placed their headquarters in a place that was separated by an entire desert. They were really careful!
Seeing that Lu An was silent, it was obvious that he did not want to say anything. Tan Qin was also very bored. She shrugged and said, "We saved you out of kindness, and we don't want to plot anything from you. You can rest here and recuperate. If you want to leave, we will not stop you!"
Hearing Tan Qin's words, Lu An was slightly relieved. At least now, it seemed that Tan Qin was very kind. He said, "Thank you, Miss."
"I'll get someone to send you some food later. There are maids outside. If you need anything, just tell them," Tan Qin said. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. I'll come and see you later."
After saying that, Tan Qin waved her hand and left. Soon, only Lu An and two maids were left in the room. Lu An asked the maids to rest in the outer room while he sat on the bed and pondered.
He had yet to fully recover from the pain in his body. He would need at least one or two days to fully recover. However, that did not mean that he had fully recovered. He had forcefully activated the three levels of Demon God and holy fire for such a long time. His body was severely drained. Now that he did not have any energy in his body, he had to wait. After he recovered, he would absorb energy from heaven and earth to fill himself up. This process would probably take another two to three days.
In other words, it would take at least three days for him to fully recover his strength. However, this was already very fortunate for Lu An, who had almost died.
Without a doubt, the sect master of the Monarch Sky Divine Religion had already been annihilated. After his body exploded, not even a speck of dust remained. With the death of the Monarch Sky God Religion's Religion Head, this news would probably spread very quickly. By then, Monarch Meng would probably be rescued.
In reality, what Lu An did not know was that the Divine Monarch Cult kept the Divine Monarch Cult's Divine Monarch Cult's Divine Monarch Cult's Divine Monarch Cult headquarters. Firstly, it was for proper protection. Secondly, it was for the cult master and other subordinates to admire it at any time. The headquarters had been destroyed by Lu An. Coupled with the huge impact of the explosion, the Hidden God Stones had long been reduced to dust. The King of Meng no longer had any evidence against him.
When King Meng learned of this matter, he would probably exterminate the Divine Monarch Religion in the entire country. Without the support of the Religion Master, and with the death of the Hai Kingdom's King, this religion would not be able to hold on for much longer.
For the next few days, Lu An didn't want to go anywhere and was prepared to recuperate in the General's Mansion. From the looks of it, the person who saved him had a high status in the Four River Country. Before he left, he would leave behind a few pills as a reward.
After sitting on the bed to rest for a while, Lu An felt that the pain in his body had lessened. He put on the clothes that the maids brought for him and got off the bed to walk around. Currently, he was still unable to meditate and absorb the Heaven and Earth Energy. He had to wait until his injuries were completely healed. Otherwise, it would be a burden to his body.
Walking out of the house, the two maids followed behind Lu An, awaiting his orders. Lu An didn't stop them. It wasn't because he had changed and needed to be served and enjoyed. It was because he knew that the rules in the General's Mansion were very strict. If he didn't allow the maids to follow him, they would be the ones to be punished, not him.
With the maids by his side, Lu An could chat with them and understand the matters of the Four River Country and the General's Mansion. According to the maids, the owner of the General's Mansion was the Four River Country's Great General Tan Xingbang. He was a person who could command half of the Four River Country's army. Tan Xingbang had done countless meritorious deeds for the Four River Country. He had pacified the war, eliminated the heretics and so on. However, the army under Tan Xingbang's control was the border army. The Imperial Army in the King City was not under Tan Xingbang's control.
However, this was also a reasonable thing. Generally speaking, the Imperial Army and the border army would not be under the same person's control. Otherwise, it would be very easy to rebel.
"Are there many religions in the Four River Country?" Lu An asked politely.
The maid was startled for a moment. She nodded and said, "Many, many. There are good ones, but there are even more bad ones. Even if you wanted to catch all of them, you could not catch all of them. Master had already blocked many heretics that wanted to invade the country, but even so, he could not stop the spread of these heretics. "
Lu An frowned slightly. Indeed, heretics were more difficult to defend against than the army. Heretics only needed a few people to brainwash most of the people and create a huge force in the country. These heretic leaders could be executed at will. But the problem was, how would the people be dealt with?
Dealing with heretics was a huge problem in itself.
Was there no way to get rid of the heretics in the Ten Thousand Desert once and for all?
The General's Residence was very big. Lu An strolled here for a long time before stopping at a pavilion in the garden. The maid could not sit in front of outsiders, so Lu An did not sit down. Instead, he asked the maid casually, "Is General Tan not in the King City?"
"Yes," the maid replied. "Master is a Level Six Heavenly Master. He can go back and forth to the border at any time. He does not need to stay at the border all the time."
"That's right." Another maid said, "However, Master has been very busy recently. He seems to be in trouble and is looking for people to help him. Even the Young Miss has been out."
Lu An was startled. Since the people from the General's Residence had saved him, he should do something to repay them. He asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"It seems to be related to heretics," the maid said.
"Not only heretics, but it also seems to be related to the Prime Minister and the Holy Land. I heard the Young Miss complain a little," the other maid quickly said.
Heretics?
Lu An frowned. He had come here to deal with the heretics. Furthermore, dealing with the heretics wasn't a waste of time, nor was it a waste of time for him to increase his own power. Although he had almost died in the battle with the Divine Monarch Religion's leader, Lu An could feel that his body was more transparent than before. Once he recovered, his strength would definitely increase. For the current him, the best way to cultivate was to constantly find concepts and levels from battles and life and death.
When he asked the two maids, they did not know anything more. Lu An did not ask any more questions. He waited for General Tan and Young Miss Tan to return.
However, Tan Xingbang and Tan Qin only returned at night. Tan Xingbang had been running around Mi Ani for an entire day, while Tan Qin had been running around for an entire afternoon. Both of them were clearly exhausted. Even so, when Tan Xingbang found out that Lu An had woken up, he immediately came to visit.
Tan Xingbang ordered the servants to prepare food and wine. The three of them gathered in the side hall to eat. Tan Xingbang did not attend the Apothecary Conference. As the Great General, he had to pay attention to the border at all times. The Apothecary Conference was such a grand event. With so many people going to watch the battles, if the enemy took advantage of the day to launch an attack and he was not there, there would be no one to command the battlefield. The country would be in danger.
It was the same for Tan Qin. It was very torturous for two curious people to endure and attend the Apothecary Conference.
This would also help Lu An conceal his identity. He did not tell Tan Xingbang and Tan Qin his real name. He only told them that his surname was Lu. There were countless people with the surname Lu in the world. No matter how they thought about it, they would not link it to him.
"Can I ask how strong you are?" Tan Xingbang looked at Lu An and asked probingly.
In a situation where he could not sense the other party's strength, it was more or less rash to ask about someone else's strength. However, Lu An did not mind and replied truthfully, "Level seven Heavenly Master."
As soon as he said this, Tan Xingbang and Tan Qin gasped. Although they guessed that this young man was likely to be a Level seven Heavenly Master, they were still shocked when he said it himself.
One had to know that in the entire Four River Country, there was only one Level seven Heavenly Master, which was the Sect Leader of the Holy Land. Now, there was one in the General's residence. How could the two of them not be shocked?
Tan Xingbang quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Lu An. "I was rash just now. Please forgive me, Hero Lu!"
Lu An smiled bitterly and said, "General Tan, you don't have to be like this. We are all humans. There is no need to be like this."
Tan Xingbang was relieved when he saw that Lu An really did not care about etiquette. He was also very happy. It was a blessing of three lifetimes to be able to meet such a powerful and forthright person.
"I see that General Tan seems to be worried about something." Lu An saw that Tan Xingbang sat down and asked, "What is it?"
Tan Xingbang shook his head slightly. These were all matters of the Four River Country. No one else could help, and he did not want to say it. However, he suddenly realized that the power of a Level seven Heavenly Master was enough to help him through this difficult situation. He quickly looked up at Lu An and said, "If Hero Lu can help, I will be very grateful!"
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He looked at the anxious General Tan and said, "I am not sure if I can help. General Tan might as well say it first."
General Tan nodded. His face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "All of this started from a case I handled at the border three months ago!"
