[Adult Fantasy] The Legend of the Earth and the Clouds [Complete] - 34

Chapter Six: Three Sycophants.

Shui Linfeng's mind surged with thoughts, flashing back to countless images: the great battle against Chiyou, the conquest of Shang Zhou, the pacification of the six kingdoms, the crushing defeat of the Xiongnu, the ambush at Xuanwu Gate, the donning of the yellow robe, the great battle at Poyang Lake… Constantly expanding territory, establishing dynasties, and then personally overthrowing

them, dynasty after dynasty, generation after generation, enjoying themselves immensely. Surrounded by beauties like jade, generals like a forest, singing and dancing, the sounds of battle shaking the heavens. Beauties with legs like jade, breasts warm and fragrant, knelt in rows at the steps, as docile as lambs; soldiers, burly and arrogant, charged into the enemy ranks on tens of thousands of warhorses, heads rolling, blood staining their robes. In just a moment, tens of thousands of years had passed. Shui Linfeng cried out and awoke. His three souls and six spirits had transformed into a monster with a human head and a dragon's body, tightly bound to his body, impossible to separate.

Ma Yingfei's eyes were already red and swollen as she looked at him anxiously. Seeing him awake, she exclaimed with joy, "Thank heavens! You lecherous wolf, you're still alive!"

Shui Linfeng retorted angrily, "Are you unhappy that I'm not dead, you little hussy? Are you so eager to marry that shorty Wu, trying to murder your husband?"

Ma Yingfei smiled seductively, "In this life, apart from you, no other male can touch me. You've bled out, yet you can still speak. Don't tell me it's a final burst of energy before death!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "I only penetrated you once, and now you want to die? How can I accept that! Help me up! Ouch! This body feels strange, something's wrong!"

Ma Yingfei said, "Don't rush, take it slow!"

Shui Linfeng... He said, “Good Fei’er! Give me my phone. I need to arrange some things before I go into the cauldron to cultivate. You are now a Chaotic Heavenly Body, and your Golden Core is complete. You will no longer be my slave. How about we cultivate together in the cauldron? If we cultivate outside, it will take a hundred or eighty years to achieve the union of spirit and form!”

Ma Yingfei said, “Alright! I also need you to help me refine that mudfish properly, so it won’t be out of control again!”

Shui Linfeng took the phone and first dialed Lei Dapeng, the director of the Southern Heaven Criminal Investigation Bureau, ordering him to find several speedboats for backup. He then dialed Zhang Guohua, the governor of Dongjiang Province, ordering him to urgently recommend a large amount of food supplies to be sent to Zudang Mountain in the south of the city for backup. He also called Ai Mingyang, asking him to find Lei Dapeng and bring people to pick up his parents, Wu Qing’s parents, Qin Yihong’s parents, and others, and secretly send them to Zudang Mountain to avoid the flood.

Shui Linfeng ordered Li Weilong to find Lei Dapeng and bring out the men outside who had been poisoned with the Soul-Slaying Thorn. Li Weilong asked, "My lord! What's the situation with us?"

Shui Linfeng replied, "Don't worry! It should be within the next few days! By the way! Do you know someone named Li Ling'er?"

Li Weilong answered, "She's a serious criminal in Yue Family Army, currently imprisoned in the military district's heavy prison, and has been beaten beyond recognition!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Find a way to get some of her blood and secretly send it to Fengqi Pavilion. If Yue Family kills her, bring her body; I have my ways!"

Li Weilong said, "Alright! That's not difficult! I'm confident I can deliver it first thing tomorrow morning!"

Shui Linfeng then contacted Zhu Wu, asking him to find a way to frame the garrison commanders of Nantian and Hezhou, so that Yue Family would dismiss and investigate them. He also contacted Liu Gao, asking him to find another way, promising a generous reward upon success.

The Blade Warrior outside reported into the walkie-talkie, "My lord! There's a woman named A Xiang outside, claiming to be Miss Ma's maid, with two bitches, looking for her!"

Ma Yingfei said, "Strange! Didn't A Xiang go to Suzhou with Li Zhengqiang? Why is she back?"

Shui Linfeng leaned against Ma Yingfei's fair legs, weakly saying, "It's a long story. Let them in!"

In a moment, A Xiang, along with Zhang Xue and Gu Juan, knelt outside the door, awaiting their fate. Shui Linfeng's wolf-like eyes darted around, and he said, "A Xiang! Now that you're back, are you willing to be my bitches?"

A Xiang saw Ma Yingfei standing beside Shui Linfeng from afar, her thigh being used as a pillow by him, like a wife. They immediately and sensibly replied, "We are willing! We only ask that you take us in, Master!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Alright! Come in! The two at the door are wearing collars, so they must be females. Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?"

Zhang Xue and Gu Juan said in unison, "We are just beautiful dogs. We are extremely grateful to have you taken in, Master!"

As they spoke, the two winked at each other. How could this little action escape Shui Linfeng's keen eyes? He didn't say anything, but summoned the "Fish Transforms into Dragon" golden cauldron, called out the two flutes, and instructed the large flute beast to take Zhang Xue and Gu Juan inside first, keep a close watch on them, and keep them fastened so they wouldn't run around. After this busy period, he would thoroughly search their souls.

Then, have Xiao Xiao Beast take Ah Xiang inside. After her rebirth, implant the main essence into her body, feed her the Soul-Living Pearl, and create an artificial innate Dao body. Then, she will cultivate again, be renamed Xiao Xiang Beast, and be taken as a concubine. Her blood will be dripped into the Demon Body Regeneration Scroll for future use, so that she will serve him day and night as a dog or a horse.

Ma Yingfei interjected, "Little Fragrant Beast is skilled at housekeeping; she's a natural maid. We can have her assist Sun Yao in managing her daily life. What do you think?"

Shui Linfeng asked, "Little Fragrant Beast! Are you willing to manage my daily life?"

Little Fragrant Beast knelt on the ground, bowed her head, and replied, "Little Fragrant Beast is willing! If I don't manage it well, Master, please punish me as you see fit!"

Shui Linfeng smiled, "Take her inside!"

Most of the experts within the cauldron came from the Intelligence Bureau. Before the time was right, Shui Linfeng didn't want them to reveal themselves openly. After thinking for a moment, he summoned Zhang Dingfang's guard battalion, which he had acquired from Chen Deng, and ordered him to select two squads of Blade Warriors to guard Phoenix Perch Pavilion day and night. If anything happened, they were to immediately

contact Shui Linfeng within the cauldron using "telepathic communication." With Ma Yingfei's consent, Shui Linfeng enlarged the golden cauldron, bursting through the roof of Phoenix Perch Pavilion, and openly and frantically absorbed the kingly aura of Purple Dragon Mountain for his cultivation. The next day, just as dawn broke, Li Weilong sent someone to deliver Li Ling'er's blood. Following Shui Linfeng's instructions, it was placed in a freezer-safe bottle and did not solidify.

The little fragrant beast had successfully regenerated its body and regained an artificial inner core. Its tattoos and scars had disappeared; the tattoos were caused by several prominent whip marks on its body. After witnessing Shui Linfeng's strength the previous night, it secretly lamented its shortsightedness. In this light, Shui Linfeng's willingness to take it as a concubine was already an extraordinary act of kindness. Having been implanted with the Soul-Binding Thorn, it was now completely devoted to Shui Linfeng.

Shui Linfeng cultivated within the cauldron, achieving perfect harmony between mind and soul. He ordered it to lead two experienced and beautiful beasts to guard the outside. Zhang Dingfang's twenty-four Blade Warriors patrolled the outer perimeter of the main building day and night, ready to report any urgent matters immediately.

After receiving Li Ling'er's blood, the little fragrant beast dismissed the visitor, processed it with its magic, and ordered a beautiful beast to take it back to the cauldron and entrust it to the subordinates of the large and small flute beasts for safekeeping.

Shui Linfeng, atop the thirty-third level of the golden cauldron, frantically absorbed the spiritual energy refined by the cauldron. Below the cloud steps, one hundred and seven stunningly beautiful women knelt, awaiting Shui Linfeng's summons for dual cultivation.

Ma Yingfei was currently engaged in a frenzied union with Shui Linfeng, their Dao energy surging like a tidal wave within their bodies. The two spirit immortals, Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer, also experienced exhilarating flow through their major and minor meridians. When their energy flowed into Shui Linfeng's body, the agile purple creatures transported the energy, allowing them to move with lightning speed. However, when their energy flowed into Ma Yingfei's body, the blood flow was too slow, making it difficult for them to move quickly. For Shui Linfeng to achieve a rapid fusion of body and spirit, dual cultivation was the best method.

Even so, Ma Yingfei was completely naked, feeling as if her blood was boiling. She gritted her teeth and continued for a few more rounds, using her mind to communicate: "Good man! Let me go! I can't take it anymore!"

Shui Linfeng smiled and bit her little tongue, transmitting his thoughts: "You little hussy, you've only completed one hundred and forty-eight cycles, I haven't even started yet, and you're already done? Fine! Seeing that you're as hot as boiling water, I'll allow you to go to the side to digest and regulate your breathing!"

In dual cultivation, when a man's penis enters a woman's vagina, their tongues intertwine, and their Dao energy is transmitted, their hearts naturally connect.

Shui Linfeng balanced his Dao energy, had Ma Yingfei retreat to the side to regulate her breathing, and shouted, "Great Flute Beast! Come up and join the dragon!"

The female beast slaves below were all beauties with profound martial arts skills, carefully selected by Shui Linfeng for use in dual cultivation. Daoist dual cultivation has its own secret methods, and the cultivation methods and postures in the "Wordless Heavenly Book" are even more numerous. Men belong

to Yang; the more heaven and earth energy they absorb when cultivating orthodox Daoist arts, the stronger their Yang energy becomes. If they want to wait for their Yang energy to reach its peak before gradually generating Yin energy, their cultivation speed will naturally be extremely slow. Women belong to Yin; the more heaven and earth energy they absorb when cultivating orthodox Daoist arts, the stronger their Yin energy becomes. Similarly, waiting for Yin to reach its extreme and generate Yang is extremely difficult.

Dual cultivation, employing the principle of yin and yang complementarity, opens up a smooth path for cultivation through alternative methods, greatly benefiting both men and women. Ma Yingfei, sidelined by Shui Linfeng, diligently cultivated, and upon introspection, was overjoyed. At this rate of cultivation, she would soon attain the Great Dao.

Shui Linfeng's dual cultivation method was extremely domineering. Only after receiving maximum benefit himself would he harmonize with his partner, thus requiring a vast number of beautiful women. In short, it involved extracting the biological essence of the cauldron for his own use and then returning it to his partner, simultaneously providing them with maximum benefit. This exemplifies the proverb, "Many hands make light work!" or "Borrowing a hen to lay eggs!" Shui Linfeng

planned to spend thirty years—that is, thirty days outside the cauldron—laying a solid foundation for the circulation of the twelfth-grade purple-gold pill within his body. After handling some matters outside, he would withdraw from worldly affairs, return to the cauldron, and cultivate for another one or two hundred years. When he emerged from seclusion, he would likely be able to stand proudly among the heroes of the Great Swamp.

The first time for the Great Circulation Dual Cultivation, all the women chosen were those with the highest cultivation levels. However, demons were strictly forbidden, as their constitutions differed greatly from humans. Authentic dual cultivation, or choosing a demon, might lead to cultivation deviation.

Led by Ma Yingfei, the group included Da Xiaoshou, Xiao Xiaoshou, Tao Hualang, Tao Huasao, Qin Yihong, Liu Lijing, Wu Qing, Fang Ning, Li Xiaoran, Chen Bingbing, Xu Ying, Zhang Lan, Li Yu, Zhang Xiaoman, Huang Ling'er, Bai Yingfeng, He Yiqing, Xu Rujing, Sun Zihan, Long Jingxue, Zhang Juanhua, Tang Yingsai, Liu Lanxu, and many more—a total of 108 stunningly beautiful women skilled in martial arts dual cultivation. They took turns stepping forward, continuously providing Shui Linfeng with the necessary biological energy.

Shui Linfeng currently possessed approximately 5,000 beautiful female beasts, from whom he had carefully selected over 200 for his own use. The rest were used as public transportation for the Blade Warriors' entertainment, with more beauties to be added in the future.

Upon entering the cauldron for the first time to select private beasts, Hao Ran discovered that Hu Xing'er and Li Caiye were among them. Upon inquiry, it turned out that Xiang Jingyu had recently acquired a new batch of female beasts and disposed of them all.

Shui Linfeng had already taken control of all the institutions in the Great Swamp that handled female beasts and beautiful animals. Hu Xing'er and Li Caiye were both stunning beauties; how could they escape Shui Linfeng's control? The two women immediately knelt down and acknowledged their new master, obediently being collared like dogs and treated as lewd servants, staying by Shui Linfeng's side day and night. Among the female beasts, few rose to prominence like the Little Fragrant Beast, becoming Shui Linfeng's concubines overnight. Most of the private beasts he acquired started as lewd servants; if they served well, they would be promoted to concubines.

However, compared to the "public bus" beasts and lower-ranking female beasts, their status is incomparable. Lower-ranking female beasts, both inside and outside the cauldron, can be violated by any male—not just humans, but also dogs, horses, pigs, and sheep—in any way they please. Even if they are killed, it doesn't matter; Shui Linfeng can easily regenerate their bodies.

Ranked beasts are lower-ranking female beasts who have performed well; only humans can violate them, and certain cruel practices are forbidden on them. The highest-ranking female beasts on the public bus are only accessible to a select few—the private beasts of Shui Linfeng and various generals. Without their masters' permission, no one else is allowed to violate them.

These lewd beasts, kept by one's side for a period of time, would be demoted to standard beasts or even low-ranking female beasts if they didn't serve well or were tired of being played with. Only if they pleased their master could they be promoted to concubines. In reality, of all these beautiful female beasts, only Shui Linfeng had the authority to promote one of them to a concubine; no one else had the power to do so.

The Great Flute Beast's cultivation was different from Ma Yingfei's, and her genitals were also different. Although it was a famous instrument, how could it compare to the "Ten Thousand Yangs Paying Homage" after the Ten Thousand Females? After forty-nine Great Zhous, the blood in her body boiled. However, her status was also different from Ma Yingfei's. Shui Linfeng wouldn't let her go, and even if she was raped to death, she wouldn't dare to resist.

Shui Linfeng embraced her smooth, pinkish-white waist, noticing that the Great Flute Beast's body was burning hot, and its moans gradually turned into pitiful groans. He scolded, "Useless thing!"

The Great Flute Beast, completely red, cried out in a mournful voice, "The Great Flute Beast is useless, please punish me, Master!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Later, lick my asshole! Go and regulate your breathing next to the Mistress!"

After balancing her internal energy, the Great Flute Beast obediently crawled to Ma Yingfei's side and sat with her to regulate her breathing, slowly digesting the expanding Dao energy within her body. Shui Linfeng pointed a finger, and the Little Flute Beast immediately swayed its gourd-like body and quickly climbed up to Shui Linfeng. In front of him, it lay on its back, legs spread wide, revealing its vulva, its love juice already flowing down its legs.

Shui Linfeng smiled, thrusting forward. The Nine-Turn Dragon Spear could now change size, making it much easier to charge through the flower garden.

After an unknown amount of time, the 108 beauties finally finished their work. Shui Linfeng had benefited greatly, and everyone had calmed down. Shui Linfeng, holding the naked Ma Yingfei, said to the beauties, "All of you, lie down on your backs and make a human bed for your master and your mistress to rest on!"

The women responded in unison and formed a beautiful, fleshy bed below the steps. Shui Linfeng took Ma Yingfei's hand, and the two walked to the middle and lay down in each other's arms.

Ma Yingfei laughed, "It's all breasts and buttocks under me, it's so itchy!"

Shui Linfeng casually twirled someone's pubic hair and laughed, "This bed is a bit rough, um--! But it's comfortable to sleep on!"

Ma Yingfei smiled seductively, "It needs some improvement. We can have some frames made to hold them in place, and make the surface smoother for sitting or sleeping, then it will be perfect!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "These kinds of lewd ideas need Zhang Jinhua to design them! After we break up the Buddhist Immortal Sect, we'll order her back, make her a concubine, and have her design these strange and wonderful things!" Ma

Yingfei intentionally or unintentionally pinched someone's plump breasts and laughed, "The other day I saw the tattoos on the little fragrant beasts, they were indeed exquisite, but I don't know how to do it. If we tattooed them like that on their bodies and made them into human sofas, they would not only be comfortable to sit on, but also visually pleasing, wouldn't they?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "My dear first wife is so clever. I bought Xu Ying before because of the exquisite tattoos on her snow-white skin." "!"

Ma Yingfei laughed, "My brother regretted it so much after you bought Xu Ying. That girl is indeed lovable, sexy and beautiful, and very wanton!"

Not far away, Xu Ying raised her head and said obsequiously, "Thank you for the praise, Mistress! Mistress is tired! Would you like Ying Beast to lick you?"

Ma Yingfei kissed Shui Linfeng and laughed, "Oh dear! I haven't washed up yet after making love with you, you wolf! Is there water in this cauldron?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Not only is there water in the cauldron, but it's also in the same pristine state as it was ten thousand years ago, fresh and pleasant." "But I don't want to move. You lie down with me for a while!" She raised a finger and shouted, "Xu Ying, Zhang Lan, Li Yu, Zhang Xiaoman, and Long Jingxue, you five come up here and lick the mistress clean with your mouths. Don't miss a single spot, or you'll be whipped!"

The five women, including Xu Ying, replied, "Yes! We will definitely satisfy the mistress. If we don't serve her well, Master, feel free to whip us!"

Xu Ying brought her small mouth to Ma Yingfei's private parts, licked them with her fragrant tongue, and said with a seductive smile, "The mistress's things are so beautiful! This beast is so envious!"

Li Yu crawled to Ma Yingfei's feet and licked her toes with her small, fragrant tongue, then said with a seductive smile, "The mistress's feet are the most beautiful! The jade beast is so lucky to be served by her today!"

Zhang Xiaoman replied, "The mistress's hands are even more beautiful, like they were carved from white jade, without a single flaw!"

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly, "Three sycophants!"

Ma Yingfei blushed and said shyly, "Am I that beautiful?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Fei'er, you are indeed a beauty, otherwise how could you be worthy of being the first wife? But these three are obviously flattering you and trying to please you! Can't you tell?"

Ma Yingfei said, "Jealousy!" Suddenly she snorted, "Oh dear!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Did the Ying Beast lick you to orgasm?"

Ma Yingfei slapped Shui Linfeng's arm and said angrily, "You almost killed me with your penetration, I didn't even get a proper rest, how could I possibly have an orgasm? The Ying Beast's lick made me want to pee!"

Zhang Xiaoman immediately laughed, "Ying Beast, move aside, I'm good at being a chamber pot!"

She then tried to push Xu Ying aside to let Ma Yingfei urinate, but Xu Ying angrily said, "No way! Since the Ying Beast is by the Mistress's jade vulva, it should be the Ying Beast that urinates for the Mistress!"

Ma Yingfei asked in confusion, "What are they fighting over?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "They're fighting over your pee! They'd be ecstatic if they could urinate for you! You decide, who will urinate for you!"

Ma Yingfei said, "How can I urinate! Ah--! I know! You dead man! How dare you play with them like this!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "They knew how when I took them in, what does it have to do with me?" "At first! I wasn't used to it either, but once I let it go, it was amazing, so refreshing!"

Ma Yingfei laughed, "It's not that exaggerated! In that case! Xiaoman, you come here, after you let it go, Ying Beast will lick it clean for me!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "You know, this is fairness, right? Originally, I was thinking that if someone wasn't chosen, it would prove that you didn't like her, and if you didn't like her, it would prove that she didn't serve you well, so I would whip her a few times for fun. But now I have no excuse!"

Xu Yingyao laughed, "If Master likes it, then whip her as you please, Ying Beast's butt is very itchy!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Turn around! Spread your butt, I want to insert flowers from behind!"

Xu Yingyao laughed, "Yes! Master! Ying Beast's chrysanthemum welcomes you!"

Ma Yingfei seemed unaccustomed to it, and it took her a long time to finish urinating. Zhang Xiaoman's oral skills were superb, and she drank all of Ma Yingfei's urine without spilling a drop.

Ma Yingfei said cheerfully, "No wonder Lin Feng likes you all, you're all adorable human toys! By the way! Xu Ying calls herself Ying Beast, why do you call yourself 'Barbarian Meat'? That's weird!"

Xiao Man laughed, "Barbarian Meat is just a piece of Master's beautiful flesh, lustful flesh, its status is even lower than a female beast!"

Ma Yingfei laughed, "It's obvious he dotes on you, otherwise he wouldn't be thinking of ways to humiliate and tease you like this!" Upon hearing this

, Zhang Xiao Man glanced at her master Shui Lin Feng, secretly delighted.

Shui Linfeng, having enjoyed his moment, slapped Xu Ying's large, white buttocks and laughed at Ma Yingfei, "Fei'er! Why does it take so long to piss? I finished in one go!"

Ma Yingfei rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're a quick-fire type, do you think I don't know? I'm not used to pissing like this yet! Xu Ying, come here and lick me clean!"

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly, pointed his finger, and shouted, "Big Flute Beast, Little Flute Beast, Peach Blossom Wave, Peach Blossom Flirt, Li Xiaoran, Chen Bingbing, Sun Zihan, you seven come up here and give your master a tongue bath!"

Ma Yingfei smiled and said, "Is there water? My mouth..." "I'm so thirsty!"

Shui Linfeng slapped his forehead and laughed, "Big and Little Flute Beasts, bring me all the peach wine you brewed and the fresh fruits and delicacies of the four seasons. Let's treat your mistress well!"

Chapter Seven: Deceiving the Thief

Shui Linfeng was in the cauldron, where he had divided more than two hundred beauties into two groups and had them take turns practicing their cultivation. Meanwhile, outside the cauldron, chaos reigned. The entire Jiangnan region was flooded, with water reaching three or four meters deep in the streets. Fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles swam all over the city, and many large creatures that he had never even heard of before were now eating people in the streets.

Seawater also flooded in, and at the foot of Purple Dragon Mountain, the Little Fragrant Beast even discovered sharks, which were only found in the deep sea, openly swimming in groups and fighting over the dead people in the water.

When the little fragrant beast first encountered its master, Shui Linfeng, it clearly saw the creature whose dorsal fin was the only visible part of its body. It turned out to be a giant eel over twenty meters long, occasionally leaping out of the water with a small mountain-sized soft-shelled turtle to devour people, and a black-scaled python. These three creatures were the most ferocious in the vicinity of Yandang and Yanque Lakes, along with countless other large fish.

The little fragrant beast couldn't believe that such vicious creatures existed in the seemingly ordinary Yandang and Yanque Lakes. No wonder people weren't allowed to walk near the water at night; now it understood.

When Yue Zhengyang returned from outside, he immediately discovered that everyone in Yonghe Village was gone, and Yue Jianfeng was nowhere to be found. In his anxiety, he sent people to search everywhere, suspecting they had been swept away by the flood or eaten by the monsters in the water. He never imagined it was a sudden attack by a powerful enemy. His Yue family was renowned throughout the southeast of the lake; under normal circumstances, even the emperor of the Great Lakes wouldn't easily target the Yue family.

Little Fragrant Beast knew the matter was of great importance and dared not speak carelessly. She only said that she had returned to Phoenix Perch Pavilion before the flood and truly knew nothing of what happened below. Several of Yue Zhengyang's adjutants and staff officers guessed that it was a demon from Yandang Lake that had taken advantage of the flood to cause trouble. They suggested that he kill the three large water monsters nearby and cut them open to see what was inside.

Yue Zhengyang was at a loss and stopped commanding his troops to control the flood. He mobilized several hundred military speedboats and several small shallow-water gunboats, along with seven or eight thousand elite soldiers. They first fired grappling hooks, hooking the three unfortunate water monsters, and then followed up with a barrage of artillery fire and machine gun fire. After two or three days of fierce fighting, with one or two thousand soldiers killed, they finally managed to kill the three big guys and drag them ashore.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. Inside the eel's belly, they found Yue Jianfeng's platinum wedding ring, which he never parted with. Yue Zhengyang burst into tears. Ai Mingyang and Li Weilong were by his side. Ai Mingyang said, "Young Marshal, don't cry. Something's fishy about this!"

Yue Zhengyang looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ai Mingyang said, "The Daoist scriptures mention that eels don't eat living people!"

Li Weilong said, "You mean, the Marshal died first, and then was swallowed by the eel?"

Ai Mingyang said, "Exactly!"

Yue Zhengyang jumped up and shouted, "Investigate! Find the murderer! Even if he's the King of Heaven himself, I'll stab him three times to avenge my father!"

At this moment, a beautiful young woman dressed in white, with a red hair-binding crown on her long, flowing hair, easily pushed through the soldiers and said sweetly, "If the young marshal is willing to give me this dragon eel, I am willing to provide clues!"

Yue Zhengyang jumped up and said, "No way! This dragon eel swallowed my father, and I want to use it as a coffin to bury him. If I give it to you, wouldn't that mean you don't even want my father's remains! Since you know the clues, guards! Seize her, I don't believe you won't tell!"

The beautiful woman in white laughed loudly and said, "Where in the world is there such an unreasonable person as you? I'm leaving!" With that, she transformed into a red-crowned crane and flew into the air.

Ai Mingyang immediately stopped the soldiers from firing and shouted to the sky, "Since we are fellow Daoists, let's talk this over. This serpent swallowed the commander-in-chief, so it's not appropriate to give it to you. But here we have a giant turtle and a black-scaled python, which we can offer you!"

The white crane spoke in a charming voice, saying, "Young man of the Yue family, are you willing?"

Yue Zhengyang replied, "As long as you don't want my father's remains, of course I'm willing!"

Bai He said, “A few days ago, I was cultivating in the mountains when suddenly a divine dragon descended from the sky, causing a great flood. After the dragon left, I flew around the mountains to observe the water situation and found thirty passenger boats carrying five or six hundred people. They split into two groups: one went to attack Tianlei Manor on the mountainside, and the other went to your house. They were all top-notch experts.

It was just getting dark when I was flying low and saw them clearly. The leader of those experts was called Master Lu. Master Lu was right here by Yandang Lake. He instructed his men: Silver Feather Immortal Ruan Peijun, Ling Piao Yuanjun Lu Xiaoxiao, Shuang Bao Shuchang, Zheng Shuang, Buddha-face Iron Heart Huixin, Living Yama Xie Ke, and four hundred super warriors, a total of six hundred people, to attack Tianlei Manor.

Eight Desolate Wandering Dragon Wudang Qingchen led Earth-Penetrating Rat Li Xiaofeng, Dragon Tiger Vajra Lei Zhongji, and three hundred male tiger and female leopard members to launch a surprise attack on the shore of Yandang Lake.” "The Yue family's Yonghe Manor. As long as these two families are destroyed, things in the southeast will be much easier. The old man of the Yue family, Yue Jianfeng, thinks that since he holds military power, the central government of Daze won't do anything to him. With such a mentality, a sneak attack will be easy!"

Yue Zhengyang laughed through his tears, "No need to say more! It must be that old codger Lu Li who destroyed my family! Men! Assemble the army, prepare plenty of cannons and rifles, and go and wipe out that bastard Lu Li!"

Li Weilong stopped him and whispered, "Young Marshal, calm down! This matter is of great importance; we can't listen to a demon's nonsense!"

Ai Mingyang said, "The demon has no vested interest in them or us. The matter is reasonable, but to be on the safe side, we can send people to investigate separately. First, send people up the mountain to check out Tianlei Manor, and at the same time, find some kind and careful people to scout the surrounding area. A large number of experts have invaded; there must be some clues." "There are clues to be found; send someone to Lei Dapeng's place to ask if Lu Li borrowed any speedboats from him, how many, and when. At the same time, assemble a large army and surround the hotel where Lu Li is staying. Set up twenty large-caliber cannons on the nearby Wutai Mountain. As soon as the information is confirmed, attack immediately, indiscriminately killing everyone, regardless of social status!

Also, since the commander-in-chief is not here, young commander, please quickly send someone to bring back the ladies who are traveling abroad! At the same time, rapidly withdraw Yue family troops, and guard against anyone taking the opportunity to rebel, secretly collude with the central government, and break away from Yue family army to establish their own independent

forces, especially Liu, Ji, Zhang, and Liang. In each city and camp, strictly investigate spies, and kill any found without mercy!" Li Weilong continued, "The matter of flood control cannot be ignored, but Yue family's direct troops cannot be used. Immediately order the garrison troops and security forces in each city to recruit troops from various provinces and..." The city's militia, local militia, and men and women are all working with all their might to relieve the flood in the shortest possible time. During the flood, maintaining order is of paramount importance. Anyone who causes trouble must be executed on the spot without hesitation! At the same time, we must quickly contact the administrative officials of each province and city to rescue and requisition supplies trapped by the flood. We must collect everything edible and usable as soon as possible and distribute it to the refugees to prevent any unrest!

Yue Zhengyang nodded and said, "Very good! Immediately issue the order to do as you two say! I am very confused, so you two will handle all the specific matters, big and small!"

He looked up and bowed to the white crane in the sky, saying, "Greetings, Fairy Maiden! Please take the turtle and the python. I am extremely grateful for your help in providing clues!" The

white crane in the sky chuckled a few times, created a gust of wind, and swept the turtle and the python away, disappearing without a trace.

Shui Linfeng laughed and asked, "Is everything done?"

Bai Meiyu replied, "Master arranged for Li Weilong and Ai Mingyang to be on the sidelines, acting as if they were rehearsing a play, so how could it not have succeeded!"

After leaving the turtle treasure behind, Shui Linfeng clapped his hands and ordered someone to summon Sun Yao, who then instructed the cooks and servants to remove the turtle and python, prepare them into delicacies, and let everyone enjoy them!

Ma Yingfei rubbed her snowy legs against Shui Linfeng's hairy, dark legs, and said in a seductive voice, "Husband! Are we still practicing today?"

Shui Linfeng's heart stirred, and he said, "Of course I'll practice! But I have to finish dealing with a few things first! That Lu Li is a damned bastard. Why didn't he act sooner or later? He chose a time when I couldn't act and wiped out the Xiang family. He's extremely hateful. How am I supposed to explain this when Fengjiao comes back?"

Ma Yingfei said, "There's nothing we can do about it. When Sister Fengjiao comes back, just tell her the truth! The Xiang family is full of experts. I can't believe they're finished like this!"

Shui Linfeng grinned and said, "Since they're full of experts, we should strike first! The Chen and Wu families have been eyeing the Xiang family's wealth for a long time. Besides, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days!" Xiang Jingyu and Yue Jianfeng are like women, indecisive and wishy-washy. Even if it was that Chen guy who dared to send people to cause trouble, if it were me, with military power in my hands, I wouldn't care about the reason. I would have already mobilized a large army and bombarded Lu Li's hotel. If the emperor doesn't ask, fine; if he does, I'll just declare the southeast independent. What can he do? At worst, we'll fight!"

Ma Yingfei laughed, "National affairs! You country bumpkin don't understand! Don't talk nonsense!"

Shui Linfeng suddenly stopped speaking. In his mind, he heard Xue Fang's telepathic message, urgently ordering Gongsun Chang's troops to accompany Xue Yue on the expedition. In her haste, Xue Fang hadn't explained the large-scale invasion of the beast race to Shui Linfeng. The affairs of the Ma and Zhao families were a secret of Daze; how could Xue Fang know? She then used telepathic message to notify Shuangbao to quickly find a chance to escape; when the heavy artillery came, everything would be destroyed. It was Shuangbao who informed Shui Linfeng of Lu Li's two-pronged attack on the Yue and Xiang families through telepathic message.

Shui Linfeng initially intended to launch a large-scale attack on Lu Li, but then reconsidered. Leading the attack himself would be extremely reckless. Firstly, since his Golden Core had been divided into twelve pieces, its movement within his body was rusty. Secondly, he wasn't necessarily a match for Lu Li's eight thousand elite troops; he might even be taken advantage of by Lu Li. Thirdly, even if he killed Lu Li, his side would suffer heavy losses—a Pyrrhic victory Shui Linfeng wouldn't undertake. Moreover, he had Yue Zhengyang's tens of thousands of elite troops at his disposal. Under these circumstances, he could simply send Yue Zhengyang to attack, while he reaped the benefits.

Ma Yingfei laughed, "Husband, are you telling Shuangbao to run away while you're not talking?"

Shui Linfeng laughed and kissed her breasts, saying, "You're like a tapeworm in my stomach, you always guess right!"

Ma Yingfei said, "They're on Yue Zhengyang's territory, they can't escape. You can order Shuangbao to incite Lu Li and the others to break out when Yue Zhengyang surrounds them but doesn't attack, like this...!" Shui

Linfeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood. He put his arm around her slender waist, kissed her fragrant lips, and laughed, "You little vixen!"

Ma Yingfei laughed seductively, "You won't be at ease until you get Shuangbao back! Hehe!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "I'll go mobilize the troops, you wait a few more minutes!"

Ma Yingfei said, "Husband, hurry up! I'm already wet!"

Shui Linfeng flicked her nipple, chuckled, calmed himself down, and ordered Lan and Zi to return with the "Blessed Land" gourd, splitting into two groups to prepare to return and recruit the people.

He ordered Hong Ji, Huang Ji, and the three great and small flute beasts to be in the golden cauldron, each with an assistant, ready to receive people. As soon as someone was poured out of the gourd, their blood was immediately collected and dripped into the "Demon Body Regeneration Golden Scroll," then all were thrown into hell. They were then retrieved in batches for sacrificial purposes, and after rebirth, the Soul-Binding Thorns were implanted into them for his own use.

He ordered Shuang Bao to advise and encourage Lu Li to break through according to his plan. He ordered Bai He and Bai Hu, along with Qing Ji and

Lü Ji, the bamboo chicken spirit Zhu Qingqing, and the tiger and crane demons, to quietly ambush any escapees from high places like buildings and pavilions. He ordered the twelve sons of the Mountain-Patrolling Dragon to quietly lie in ambush in the deep water to capture people, firstly to track them and point the way for Ai Mingyang and Li Weilong, and secondly to capture them opportunistically. These twelve sons were originally pangolins, also known as Lingli Jia, who, since birth, could move freely in water and soil.

He ordered Ai Mingyang and Li Weilong to lead the soldiers in this arrangement, making the most of the Yue family's soldiers who didn't cost any money, to fight Lu Li and the others to the death. He ordered Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer, two spirit immortals, to conceal themselves, first bring out the two leopards, then ambush the difficult-to-capture experts, and relay messages underwater.

Shui Linfeng set up "an iron trap to capture a fierce tiger, and a golden net to capture a dragon." After everything was set up, he clapped his hands and called Wu Qing, Fang Ning, Liu Lijing, Qin Yihong, and dozens of beautiful female beasts to come up, to play while waiting for news.

The saying goes, "A guilty conscience needs no accuser." Upon hearing Shu Chang's report, Lu Li carefully scanned the area with his spiritual sense and indeed found a large number of elite troops surrounding the hotel, with reinforcements arriving. Alarmed, he immediately gathered the leaders for a meeting.

Yue Zhengyang wasn't stupid; he wouldn't directly question him about his actions. If he sensed something was wrong, he wouldn't give warning; he would immediately unleash artillery and machine guns. When the leaders arrived, they had also received word from their subordinates nearby that their camp was surrounded and asked their leaders what to do.

Ruan Peijun said, "We shouldn't have been so greedy for comfort back then, and stayed in separate places from the elite troops!"

Lu Li said, "We are special envoys sent by the Central Government! Even if we were stationed in separate places, the distance between us wouldn't be far, and if something happened, it wouldn't be difficult to coordinate! How could we have expected that Xiao Yue would dare to mobilize regular troops and launch a large-scale attack? Damn it! Does Xiao Yue want to rebel?"

Lu Xiaoxiao said, "Xiao Yue is a local tyrant. He has no reason not to know that we destroyed Yonghe Village. The best course of action now is to break through! Let's get out of here first!"

Qingchen Zhenren Li Bozhao said, "Don't panic! Let's wait and see!"

Qianmian Taohua Nangong Chun said, "Little Taoist priest, speed is of the essence in war, we can't wait!"

Shu Chang interjected from the side, "Seniors, I would like to ask you, if your sect were destroyed, and all the signs pointed to the same organization, but this organization was very powerful, would you openly go to their door and first..." " Get the answers straight before you act?"

Ruan Peijun said, "Shuchang! You little brat! Is your brain rusty? What's there to question? You're asking such a stupid question? Of course, we should take advantage of their unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack, killing them all! Even if we kill the wrong person, we won't let them go! Openly challenging them, even if we win, will result in heavy casualties! Have you been stuck in the intelligence department?"

Nangong Chun laughed, "Peijun! Your disciple is incredibly clever! She's advising us to strike first while those stupid soldiers are still establishing themselves, and rush out first. Even if Yue Zhengyang is stupid, he won't be foolish enough to come and question us about whether we destroyed his Yonghe Village. We'd have to be out of our minds to admit to such a stupid thing!"

Longhu Jingang Lei Zhongji jumped up and shouted, "Then what are we waiting for! Break out to the north immediately!"

Zheng Shuang laughed, "Senior Lei! We can't go north... " "!"

Lei Zhongji said, "You little brat! Where else would you go but north! Of course, the sooner you join up with the Chen family's elite troops, the better!"

Shu Chang laughed, "Senior Lei! To the north is the great river, and now the waves are raging, the water and sky meet. Even if we break through, Yue Zhengyang will follow us and use us as pawns. In less than half a day, we'll all be finished!"

Ruan Peijun said, "Chang'er, don't be afraid! We'll ignore them. Your master will lead you out on a flying sword!"

Shu Chang said, "Master! It's not that I'm criticizing you, but you've been sitting in Qingcheng Mountain all the time, and your brain isn't working properly!"

Ruan Peijun said, "You brat, how can you talk like that?"

Shu Chang said, "Master! This time when we break through, remember, don't use your flying sword. Just blend into the crowd and fight our way out. When you have a chance, find a place to hide, and when the army retreats, then run away!"

Lu Li said, "You cunning little brat!"

Lu Xiao Xiao asked in bewilderment, "Why use a flying sword instead of running away on foot like an ordinary person? Is Chang'er stupid? The Master even said she's cunning?"

Zheng Shuang said helplessly, "Master! You and Uncle-Master Ruan should really go out more often! When you use your flying sword to run away, aren't you just making yourself easy prey for those soldiers? Once you take flight, tens of thousands of rifles will fire at you all at once, turning you into a sieve or a honeycomb. Besides, the Yue family commands the three armies of the southeast, and they've probably already deployed enemy fighters. Even if you escape the anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft artillery, and surface-to-air missile swarms, how will you handle those supersonic attack aircraft filling the sky? If you were to sacrifice yourself to deliberately attract Yue Zhengyang's attention and cover our escape, that would be a different story!"

Shu Chang said, "So? We can select five or six thousand useless Imperial Guards, openly drive speedboats, and head north and west..." "Scatter in a fan shape to break through, tell them we'll be there with the rest of us!"

Nangong Chun laughed. "Actually, it's just to reassure those five or six thousand ducks, to let them die without fear. We'll take the remaining experts above the Innate Dao Body level and the super soldiers with special abilities, and quietly dive to the bottom of the water. Using fetal breathing or tortoise breathing, we'll break through to the south unnoticed in the murky depths!"

Xie Ke, the Living Yama, asked, "Why south? Not east? Not west, not north? Strange?"

Zheng Shuang giggled, "No wonder you've cultivated for a hundred years and are still only at the Qian Yuan Dao Body level, unable to advance any further. Your intelligence is indeed low!"

Xie Ke angrily said, "Lu Xiaoxiao! Control your disciple! Otherwise, I'll teach her a lesson!"

Lu Xiaoxiao glared at him and said coldly, "Go ahead!"

Lu Li said, "Alright! Old... " "Ghost, you're no match for this girl, stop now! The terrain of Daze is high in the west and low in the east. To the east is the sea, and to the north is the Yangtze River, both are vast expanses of water. You can't go there!"

Xie Ke shouted. "Then we should go west! To the south is the territory of Yue Fei's Liu Gao's troops. Wouldn't you be courting death if you went there?"

Nangong Chun chuckled. "No wonder Shuang'er said you were stupid, you really are incredibly stupid! Why would we keep running south? After going south, we'll secretly hide underwater, from under Yue Fei's army's ships, through Wutai Mountain and Qingliang Mountain, along the mountain bases, so we won't be separated by the flood. After getting away from Yue Fei's army, we'll send out experts to find speedboats. There must be many rescue speedboats going back and forth in this flood, it won't be difficult to get enough boats. Then we'll go through Ma'anshan, and then cross the Yangtze River at Caishiji.

Not far to the west, there are only high mountains. After we find a suitable place to go ashore, we'll turn north." Although the mountain roads are difficult to traverse, that's only true for ordinary people. Having shaken off those useless Imperial Guards, our team is full of capable men; what are a mere mountain road? But those soldiers are useless. Modern equipment can't get up there. The planes fly over the high mountains and deep forests in early autumn; you can't see anything! After crossing several mountains and avoiding the Yue Family Army's line of sight, we'll find transportation. Once we pass Anru Province, we'll reach Chen Deng's troops!

Xie Ke looked at Shuang Bao and exclaimed, "Little girl, so cunning!"

Nangong Chun said, "Let's not delay, let's go!"
Chapter Eight: The Battle in the Water

Shu Chang said to a beautiful member of the Leopard Group, "Go! Get the map of Nantian City!"

Turning around, he smiled and said, "There's no rush in these few minutes! Let's look at the map first, plan our route, and then run!"

Lu Li sighed, "Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older! We're all getting old!"

Zheng Shuang took the map. He opened the sign hanging on the wall and laughed, “Senior, there’s no need for such sentimentality! Look, we can split into three groups from here, here, and here, and sneak across the water. Then we’ll meet up here, leaving a rearguard behind. Then we’ll cross the river from here. When those six thousand ducks rush west and north, Yue Fei’s army will surely pursue them. We’ll take advantage of the chaos to escape!”

Shu Chang said, “As long as most people meet at the designated location, there’s no need to count heads. We can’t linger; we must cross the river immediately! As for the few who fall behind, we can only leave it to fate!”

Lu Li said, “Good!”

Another member of the Tiger Men’s Group came to report, “Yue Fei’s army has tightened the encirclement again! What should we do?”

Lu Li said, “Go and check again!”

After saying this, he ordered thirty low-ranking leaders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to come in and divided them into dozens of groups. Each group would lead six thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards to break out in a fan shape from the west and north. The distance should not be too great, and the speed should be fast. After crossing the river, they should meet at Dasheng Pass! "

The Imperial Guards obeyed the order and left. Lu Li then quickly gathered the remaining less than three thousand true experts, forming three groups. They first quietly dived underwater, waiting for the Imperial Guards to stir up the water before taking the opportunity to leave."

To ensure his own safe retreat, Lu Li specifically ordered Shuangbao to lead the 1,200 super soldiers, departing from the left. These 1,200 so-called super soldiers were all beautiful women, with impeccable figures and appearances. They had also undergone genetic modification, making them capable of taking on a hundred opponents single-handedly. They were a successful new human species secretly cultivated by the Great Swamp Emperor over many years. Although their intelligence was extremely high, they had absolutely no experience in human society and only obeyed orders without regard for anything else.

These 1,200 super soldiers had turtle and dolphin genes in their bodies, making them naturally capable of turtle breathing. Their underwater movement speed was also extremely fast. However, turtle breathing was different from the innate fetal breathing of the Daoist school. Innate fetal breathing does not require surfacing to breathe, no matter how long one stays underwater. Turtle breathing, on the other hand, requires surfacing to breathe at most every half hour or forty-five minutes.

Lu Li had Shuang Bao lead them for several reasons: first, to command them; second, to eliminate unreliable elements; third, to have them harass the enemy and cover his safe breakout; and fourth, to be wary of Shuang Bao, who, despite their young age, were already resourceful and had mastered the Xuan Tian True Body. Given time, he feared that he might not be a match for any of them.

He then ordered Ba Shan Hu Zhang Ji and Bo Ming Hu Wang Jin to lead 1,200 Jinyiwei and the two Eastern and Western Depots, along with the remaining martial arts masters of slightly lower skill, to break out from the west. The male tigers originally had three leaders: Chuan Yun Hu Xiahou Feng, who had escorted Zhao Chengtian, the second son of the Zhao family, to the north; Cha Chi Hu, who had been killed by Shui Lin Feng; leaving only Ba Shan Hu Zhang Ji; and Bo Ming Hu Wang Jin, who was a later addition and whose skills were also exceptional.

Lu Li, leading a group of top martial arts masters including Yin Yu Xianluo Ruan Peijun, Ling Piao Yuanjun Lu Xiaoxiao, Qianmian Taohua Nangong Chun, Li Bozhao, Huixin, Li Xiaofeng, and Lei Zhongji, along with over six hundred top martial arts experts from the Leopard Group, Tiger Group, and the East and West Depots, broke through the encirclement via the Wutai Mountain valley, passing through Baibu Slope, taking the shortest route.

Nangong Chun assumed that the two leopards, being clever, would not agree, but unexpectedly, they merely exchanged a glance, smiled, clasped their hands in salute, and replied, "Yes—!" Zhang Ji and Wang Bo also exchanged a glance, muttered a curse under their breath, but had no choice, and also replied, "Yes—!" They went down with the two leopards to assemble the troops, preparing to break through first.

The six thousand Jinyiwei and the ducks from the East and West Depots, already lively and boisterous, boarded the speedboats, scattering in a flower-like pattern, caught off guard and rushing out. The elite troops on the west and north sides, having received Li Weilong's orders, maintained a tense internal posture amidst external chaos. The ducks only managed to break through a few hundred meters before being unable to advance further. The Yue Family Army's speedboats created a large open area on Xuanwu Lake, where tens of thousands of automatic rifles were aimed at the ducks. The troops that had been pushed back quickly retreated, setting up their guns and cannons, as if they had deliberately allowed themselves to be pushed aside.

All the spies of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were former military and police officers. Upon seeing this formation, they all shouted, "Oh no! We've been tricked!"

Li Weilong laughed loudly using his internal energy, "You dead ducks! Where do you think you're going! Open fire!"

Infantry guns, mortars, mountain guns, and howitzers that had been lying in ambush on all four sides rained down like a storm. The troops surrounding them set up hundreds of heavy machine guns and fired in unison. In the sky, armed helicopters, like dragonflies before a rainstorm, densely filled the sky, mercilessly unleashing their 30mm machine gun shells.

As soon as the six thousand Imperial Guards rushed out of the camp, the speedboats surrounding the east and south all headed west and north. Lu Li laughed, "Little Yue is still wet behind the ears and has been tricked! If we don't leave now, when will we?"

Shu Chang and Zheng Shuang, leading twelve hundred super soldiers dressed only in skimpy clothing, took the lead into the water and broke through from the east like fish. As soon as they entered the water, they were caught by two spirit fairies, Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer, who transmitted their thoughts to them, saying, "Shu Chang, Zheng Shuang! Quickly take your people and come with us!"

The people who went into the water all had fluorescent tubes on their bodies, bent into bracelets and worn on their wrists for easy mutual guidance. The beauties of the Double Leopards team all wore red fluorescent tubes. Upon hearing this, they nodded and followed Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer, quietly swimming eastward for five or six hundred meters before being caught by Bai Yu Yao Ling Li Xiaoran and her people, who were already waiting on a platform of a building.

Twelve hundred super soldiers, obeying orders without independent thought, surrendered without resistance under Shuang Bao's command. They were obediently sucked into Zi Ji's gourd and sent to the Golden Cauldron as the first batch of spoils.

Li Xiaoran, on the assault boat, greeted the two leaders with a flamboyant smile: "

Greetings, Commanders!" Shu Chang laughed: "You brat! Where is Master?"

Li Xiaoran said: "Master is waiting for you two in a good place! Come with me!"

The two women boarded Li Xiaoran's assault boat and sped towards Zi Long Mountain in the northeast.

Zhang Yi and Wang Jin, who were trying to break through on the west side, fared much worse. This team of experts was equipped with green fluorescent tubes. Some could swim, while others could not, and could only walk underwater. Their movements were very slow. They dragged themselves through the mud and water for less than a hundred meters before being surrounded by three thousand frogman troops. They used diving rifles to drive them into the culvert of the Drum Tower, blocking the two exits of the culvert. They calmly used their guns to kill them one by one, aiming at the light from the fluorescent tubes. The corpses were collected by Lan Ji using her gourd; not a single one escaped.

Lu Li listened for a while, then laughed, "Apart from the deafening shouts of those ducks, there was no sound from the east. It seems Xiao Yue didn't expect any of us to run east. The commotion from the west is also minimal; it must be Zhang Yi and Wang Jin encountering a small ambush. It's not a big problem. It seems Xiao Yue truly lacks military experience!"

Just then, the faint sound of heavy artillery fire rang out. Nangong Chun exclaimed urgently, "Not good! Xiao Yue is ruthless! He's afraid someone is hiding here and trying to take advantage, so he's bombarding us with heavy artillery. He'll kill them all, indiscriminately!"

Li Bozhao said, "Let's go!" "Otherwise, it really won't be in time!"

Lu Li laughed, "Alright! Put on the blue fluorescent tubes, Lei Zhongji and Xie Ke will lead the way, Lu Xiaoxiao and Ruan Peijun will be on either side, and Nangong Chun will bring up the rear. Go into the water!"

Nangong Chun mocked, "You're one of the Four Saints! So afraid of death!"

Lu Li said, "You wretch! Are you courting death? This is normal military marching, what do you know!"

Ruan Peijun said, "It's better to be careful, but there's no movement from Chang'er and the others, so they're probably safe!" Several more shells hit the water not far from the hotel.

Nangong Chun laughed, "This Xiao Yue is far inferior to his father, how come all those shells hit the water!"

Xie Ke said, "Silly woman! This is a test firing! Understand? If you're not leaving, I'll go first!" With that, he was the first to jump into the water.

The others didn't dare to be negligent and also jumped into the water, hoping to escape.

Shui Linfeng was a local expert, intimately familiar with the terrain of Nantian, and had inside information. Lu Li and his men, like idiots, followed him to their deaths in droves.

Lu Li and his group settled in the "Zhongda Building" across the street from Nanjing University for two reasons: first, its central location made it convenient for dining, entertainment, and transportation; second, the nearby universities, middle schools, hotels, and other accommodations were convenient for his men. Shui Linfeng, Ai Mingyang, and Li Weilong were all students at Nanjing University; for Lu Li to try and outmaneuver them at their school gate would be suicidal.

Not far to the south was Baibu Slope. When there was no flood, Baibu Slope was a four-way intersection surrounded by high ground, enclosing a large open space. The ambush point for Lu Li was located at the foot of Baibu Slope. The east and west routes were almost complete.

The spies from the north and west were all captured. It's a joke; 20,000 against 6,000—these were Yue Fei's elite troops, with superior weaponry and terrain, and they were well-prepared to fight the unprepared. A slaughter should have been easier than slaughtering sheep. However, this was not the case. These elite Imperial Guards were handpicked from various units and police forces in Daze, fighting desperately. Li Weilong, having received Shui Linfeng's order, refused to surrender or be captured! In fact, these scoundrels were incredibly stubborn; not a single one surrendered.

The reason the Embroidered Uniform Guard spies were so ruthless was because they had long lived in the capital city, where power struggles were extremely fierce. They instinctively believed that the Yue family would leave no survivors; even if they surrendered, they would be executed. Better to die heroically! Afterwards, Li Weilong tallied his troops and wiped out the entire force of the 6,000 Embroidered Uniform Guards. Despite having all the advantages of timing, location, and popular support, the Yue family army's elite forces suffered over 9,400 deaths and 3,000-4,000 wounded. The

6,000 men ambushing Zhang Ji, the "Tiger of Bashan," both on land and underwater, though they had set up an ambush and trapped them in a culvert, also suffered heavy losses. It turned out that Zhang Ji and his men were not fools; sensing danger, they secretly removed the fluorescent tubes from their wrists and rushed out, killing many soldiers.

Lu Li's team, though only six hundred strong, had over ten thousand elite soldiers waiting for them, including the Yue family's valiant five-thousand-strong vanguard regiment, over two hundred elite cavalrymen, and three thousand men who went into the water, all equipped with state-of-the-art diving goggles, water suits, and the latest far-infrared underwater rifles. They sealed off the entrances to all the shops and alleyways along the street, led by Ai Mingyang, determined to annihilate them at any cost.

Baibupo was located in a low-lying area surrounded by hills. Even ordinary heavy rains would cause widespread flooding, but this flood was even more severe, with water reaching seven or eight meters deep and murky. Water from all the surrounding hillsides flowed into this area. There were few houses along the street, making it difficult to find decent cover for effective defense in case of an attack. Shu Chang and Zheng Shuang had momentarily "carelessly" forgotten to inform them.

Although Nangong Chun had lived in Nantian City for a long time, she usually stayed at the Yue family's residence and rarely had the freedom to go out. She didn't pay much attention to the streets and alleys of Nantian City. With Shuangbao's cleverness, she didn't complain when she was sent to the east. She was already suspicious, and being ordered to cover the rear was exactly what she wanted. If the situation changed drastically, she could completely sever ties with everyone and escape alone.

Lu Li could tell from his spiritual sense that there were still many Yue family soldiers along the way, armed and on guard. Normally, Lu Li wouldn't have paid any attention to these dumb soldiers, but today was different. He wasn't good at swimming, and like a clumsy bird, he used the method of fetal breathing to walk underwater, slower than a tortoise. He hadn't gone far when large-caliber shells fell from behind. Although the underwater barrier was effective, he still felt the deafening roar.

Once past the Wutaishan Gymnasium, they entered the deep water area. Nangong Chun, bringing up the rear, sensed something was wrong. Hailing from Xijiang Province, she was an excellent swimmer from a young age. Like a fish swimming at the back, she noticed that some easy hiding places—stairwells and alleyways—had been blocked off with thick iron fences.

The sound of motors roared from behind as a line of speedboats surged forward. Behind them, similar iron fences were lowered, blocking off an entire street. Large drills were quickly used to drill huge holes in the walls of nearby buildings, and massive bolts were used to secure the fences.

Nangong Chun knew something was wrong. She turned and broke away from the group, intending to escape alone. She hadn't swum far when suddenly a pair of hands reached out from the water, grabbed her legs, and dragged her into an open manhole!

"Damn it! This flood came so suddenly! Who was this idle bum who, after eating their fill and having nothing better to do, sank into the seven or eight meters deep water and pried open the well cover?!" As she tried to struggle, the hands in the water gripped her slender ankles like iron clamps.

"Water ghost—!" Nangong Chun screamed in terror. Another dark figure appeared, extending a steel rod from the side. With a muffled thud, it struck her pressure point on the top of her head. Nangong Chun stared at the dark figure in disbelief. In this Nantian City, would an unknown expert openly attack her pressure point? But she had no choice but to believe it. Her head spun, and she was immediately struck on the pressure point and pulled from the water.

These two were Dong Xiaozi and Dong Yunzi, two of the twelve Pangolin Armor cultivators who had cultivated for three thousand years. They had been following Nangong Chun for a long time, and seeing her try to escape, they revealed themselves and captured her. As soon as they emerged from the water, they were immediately captured by Zi Ji, who was waiting above the water.

Lu Li moved slowly underwater like a tortoise. It wasn't that he was calm and composed, or that he had the demeanor of a great general. Rather, he couldn't move fast even if he wanted to. He was surrounded by martial arts masters from the north, who were also moving slowly like silly tortoises in the water. Ruan Peijun and Lu Xiaoxiao were both from the Sichuan Basin and were skilled swimmers. By this time, their formation had long been broken. Once in the water, they no longer distinguished between left and right teams, front and back teams. Instead, those who could swim swam together, and those who couldn't swim walked together. They had already led the swimmers far ahead. When they were almost at Qingliang Mountain, disaster struck. The waterway ahead was blocked by iron fences as thick as a child's arm.

Ruan Peijun touched Lu Xiaoxiao beside her. The two had been partners for a century and understood each other perfectly. Realizing they had fallen into an ambush, they both leaped out of the water, trying to escape. However, hundreds of automatic rifles were waiting for them on various high grounds along the mountain ridge. Although the two were highly skilled in magic and bullets were difficult to harm them, it was impossible to break through the hail of bullets. They were shot down into the water one after another.

Those who followed underwater were caught off guard, and some had already been shot. Large gushes of blood gushed to the surface. Giant military nylon nets were cast from armed helicopters, ensnaring the experts and masters of the Great Swamp like fishing nets. The surrounding gunfire rang out, and sprays of blood fell like rain.

"Damn it! Those little bastards from the Yue family didn't intend to leave any survivors!" Ruan Peijun cursed in the water.

Lu Xiaoxiao said, "Stop cursing! Quickly find a way to organize manpower and break out!"

Lu Li was walking in the water when he suddenly noticed the person in front of him clutching his foot and collapsing. Blood gushed to the surface, and the Yue family soldiers above, seeing the blood, started raining depth charges down.

Lu Li felt a sharp pain in his foot and stepped on something underwater. He lifted his foot and almost cursed. Through his foot was a heavy, dark steel nail, the tip as thick as a chopstick and over an inch long. It had a flat base at the base, making it heavier than it was, ensuring the nail tip would always face upwards when dropped into the water. Luckily, it was underwater, so it couldn't be poisoned, otherwise, the person would be dead.

Now that he had been discovered, there was no point in sneaking around anymore. He pressed the signal tube in his hand, and a burst of crimson flame, accompanied by a strange whistling sound, shot into the sky. "Fight to the death—!" Upon receiving the signal, the experts on both the front and rear lines emerged from the water, fighting to the death. Even if they couldn't break through, they wanted to take some down with them so they could keep each other

company on the road to the underworld. Seeing the signal flare soaring into the sky, Ai Mingyang also ordered his men to sound the charge. More than ten thousand elite soldiers surged densely to the water's edge, systematically grouped in threes, opening fire on anyone who

emerged from the water. It was pitiful that these experts, despite their skills, were pinned down in the water and could only take the beating. Yet, despite this, many still managed to reach the shore. The artillerymen around them, using precise directions from helicopters, concentrated their fire on cultivators like Lu Li, who were difficult to harm with rifles. A volley of shells exploded around Lu Li, creating a huge wave that blasted him back into the water, just as he had climbed ashore. Soon after, Lu Li's body floated to the surface and was collected by Lan Ji, who had been waiting there.

Military strategy dictates, "For every 10,000 enemy soldiers killed, 3,000 of your own will be lost." Yet, in the complete annihilation of the 8,000 men sent by the central government of Daze, the Yue Family Army's most valiant elite force suffered over 16,000 casualties, even with a significant advantage. Had it not been for this sudden flood, the Yue Family Army would have had no chance of stopping Lu Li's 8,000 men.

Yue Zhengyang gasped, and after a long pause, said, "Fortunately, they didn't escape. If the central government had sent another elite force like this, we would be finished!"

Emperor Chen Guorong of Daze. In reality, it was impossible to send a second such elite force. This time, they had invested heavily to acquire the wealth of the enemy states in the southeast, led by the Xiang and Yue families.

Ai Mingyang said, "Young Marshal, soldiers are meant to be prepared to die at any time. It's not surprising if they die; we can just recruit more!"

Li Weilong said, "But this matter must not be publicized!"

Yue Zhengyang said, "The special envoy delegation has been completely annihilated by us. We can't keep it a secret!"

Ai Mingyang laughed and said, "I have a clumsy idea! The troops that participated in this encirclement and suppression were all Yue family's direct subordinates. They are all very tight-lipped and no one will talk nonsense to outsiders. On the other hand, we can find people to impersonate the special envoy to cover our tracks. We can think of other ways to make them disappear in a suitable place later, such as within the Chen family army's garrison area!"

Yue Zhengyang said, "The method is a bit clumsy, but in this chaotic situation, it's not impossible! You handle this matter! I need to free up my time to arrange my father's funeral!"

Li Weilong said, "With so many people, it's inevitable that some will unintentionally leak secrets. How about this, Young Marshal, you can order these Yue family soldiers to be deployed to various military strongholds. Firstly, to prevent leaks, and secondly, to conserve strength and guard against any unrest. As for the messy affairs in the city, there are 20,000 city defense troops and tens of thousands of criminal police and security forces. Just tell them to handle it!"

Yue Zhengyang said, "Weilong! You don't know! The garrison commander of Nantian City is from my father's generation, and he doesn't respect me much! I'm afraid I can't mobilize him right now!"

Ai Mingyang whispered, "The situation is urgent! Young Marshal, you must keep the garrison commanders of Nantian City in Jiangnan and Hezhou City in Jiangbei under control." "Just in case! If someone betrays us now, the Yue family will lose control of the military. We're already weakened, and even if we weren't, with this massive flood, if any of the Yue family's old generals knew the commander was gone and raised their own troops, we'd be helpless!"

Yue Zhengyang said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Liu Gao, Ji Qing, Liang Xing, and Zhang Xian were all promoted by the old man, and they've only paid lip service to me. The city guards of the two major cities south and north of the Yangtze River, which are crucial to the overall situation, are also just relying on their seniority!"

Li Weilong whispered, "The reason the commander suddenly met with misfortune this time is because we were too soft-hearted and let them strike first! If we had acted first, regardless of the consequences, we could have taken advantage of the chaos caused by the flood and used heavy troops to wipe out those people who are still alive like Lu Lao. We wouldn't be in this predicament now."

Yue Zhengyang gritted his teeth and said, "This is also my old man's fault! My mother-in-law thought it over and over again..." "Mother, this is what it means to gain the upper hand! You two are both resourceful and are my right-hand men. I think you're absolutely right. The situation is chaotic right now. We absolutely cannot move the Yue family's elite troops. It's better to let the local troops handle the superficial matters! I think it's like this: Mingyang, take my order and hurry to Jiangbei to take over the position of commander of the Hezhou garrison division. Weilong, also take my order and take over the position of commander of the Nantian garrison division. I also allow you two to expand the army by another 10,000 men. You will be nominally division commanders, but in reality, army group commanders. Quickly form two elite army groups to guard this gate between Jiangnan and Jiangbei for me! In case of any changes."

Li Weilong scratched his head and said, "Young Marshal! Isn't this a bad idea? Suddenly replacing the two important garrison division commanders of Nantian and Hezhou without any reason...!"

Yue Zhengyang said angrily, "How can there be no reason..." "Why? This morning, my good friend, Ji Chong, the eldest son of the Prime Minister of Daze, secretly sent me a message saying that the two garrison commanders of Nantian and Hezhou are actually from the Chen family. He warned me to be careful during this chaotic time and not to be stabbed in the back!"

Ai Mingyang said, "How could that be! As far as I know, these two have always served in the southeast of Ze, and have never served in the Chen family's army! Moreover, when they were young, they were the commanders of the Grand Marshal's guard battalion. This news...?"

Yue Zhengyang said, "In this extraordinary time, we cannot hesitate! It's better to believe it than not to believe it. Ji Chong and I have known each other for many years, and we have no vested interests. How could a civil official like him dare to lie to me?"

Chapter Nine Hidden Dragon Immortal Realm

The flood came quickly and went quickly. Ma Yingfei and Shui Linfeng, in a semi-secluded state, cultivated together and had already entered the Supreme Dao Body realm. The Platinum Core in their bodies had been completed. The Sun God Dragon had been completely refined by Shui and Ma, becoming Ma Yingfei's true dragon slave, and would no longer fly around recklessly.

If it were up to Shui Linfeng, let the floods rage; the more people who die, the better! He even wanted to release the dragon again to cause more trouble. In this great flood, Shui Linfeng would be the biggest winner. Under the floods in several provinces, corpses floated everywhere, tens of millions died, and countless people starved to death. The number of human souls, hearts, and blood essences in the bottom hell of the Golden Cauldron was also increasing by tens of millions every day.

Lu Li's eight thousand elites were all taken into the cauldron, regenerated using the "Demon Body Regeneration Scroll," and implanted with the Soul-Binding Thorn. Now that Shui Linfeng's cultivation has greatly increased, he doesn't need to destroy their will beforehand to deal with these people. Even Lu Li cannot escape Shui Linfeng's calculations. Both are Supreme Dao Bodies, but Lu Li has an inner core, while Shui Linfeng has a golden core, and it is twelve rare and divine pills of heavenly number.

Mei Bao Shu Chang and Mei Bao Zheng Shuang, after cultivating with Shui Lin Feng, also made great progress in their cultivation. In just a few days, they broke through the Xuan Tian True Body, advancing two levels and entering the plain stage of the Qian Yuan True Body. Among the beautiful women who cultivated with Shui Lin Feng, even the worst ones are now at the Qian Yuan Dao Body stage. Li Xiaoran and Chen Bingbing, who are naturally alluring and have had frequent intercourse with Shui Lin Feng, have now actually cultivated the Tong Tian True Body.

Others such as Xu Ying, Fang Ning, Qin Yihong, and Wu Qing have also reached the plain stage of the Qian Yuan True Body. If they want to reach new heights like Li Xiaoran and Chen Bingbing, they need to work harder on their sexual intercourse. As for the four, Da Xiao Shou, Xiao Xiao Shou, Tao Hua Lang, and Tao Hua Sao, except for Ma Yingfei, they have received the most favors and their cultivation is approaching that of the two leopards' master. They are all at the Tai Chong Dao Body stage.

Yin Yu Xianluo Ruan Peijun and Ling Piao Yuanjun Lu Xiaoxiao are both over a hundred years old, and Qianmian Taohua Nangong Chun is over eighty. Despite their beautiful appearances, profound Dao foundations, and ethereal spiritual bodies, they were all taken by Shui Linfeng as his cultivation partners, though their status was merely that of lowly concubines. Other beauties from the Leopard Group, such as Yi Yan, Er Lang, and Si Feng, also possessed profound spiritual foundations, and were all taken by Shui Linfeng as his personal beasts to serve him.

The number of human souls in the cauldron was plentiful. The concubines, including Shuangxiao, Shuangbao, and Shuangtao, had nothing to do except have sex, eat, and sleep. With old scumbags like Lu Li, Nangong Chun, Lu Xiaoxiao, and Ruan Peijun there, each instructing the women on how to refine souls and weapons, Shui Linfeng simply had these idle wives and concubines refine not only Lu Li's souls but also all of Yue's elite soldiers. After being reborn using the Demon Body Regeneration Scroll, the mortal Jinyiwei and Yue's elite soldiers were all implanted with the main essence, injected with the Soul-Binding Thorn, and fed with the Soul-Merging Pearl.

Ma Yingfei had already commanded the divine dragon to draw water into the sea. At this moment, she used her vulva to manipulate Shui Linfeng's Nine-Turn Dragon Spear, and said in a seductive voice, "Damn it! You had them refine so many people, are you trying to rebel?"

Shui Linfeng laughed and said, "Only twenty-three or twenty-four thousand people, what can they accomplish?"

Ma Yingfei said, "These people are all immortal. After the main essence was implanted, they are all innate Dao bodies. My God! If a battle breaks out, let alone one against ten, one against a hundred, it won't be a problem!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Praise, praise! In a while, I will be entering a state of complete seclusion. There is a rebellion outside the Buddha Immortal Sect. I wonder how Xiao Yue is leading the troops to fight it!"

Ma Yingfei said, "You sent Li Weilong and Ai Mingyang, each with a battalion of Blade Warriors, to kill the garrison commanders of Nantian and Hezhou, and seize the two gates of Jiangnan and Jiangbei. What is your intention?"

Shui Linfeng cried out, "Injustice! It was Xiao Yue's military order, ordering me to..." "Li Zi and the fake Taoist priest, the garrison commanders of Nantian and Hezhou, those two old geezers refused to relinquish power and are courting death. What does that have to do with me?"

Ma Yingfei said, "No one would willingly relinquish military power without cause! Then why did you have Little Li bring that maggot-covered Li Ling'er here, stinking up outside my Phoenix Perch Pavilion? What are you planning to do then?"

Shui Linfeng, upon hearing this, rubbed his head and said, "Oh dear! Even if my wife hadn't said anything, I would have remembered! Have you been here? I have important business to attend to." "!"

Ma Yingfei laughed, "I've already come twice, aren't you going to let her out?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Coming!"

The dragon spear below thrust in and out rapidly, expelling liquid, kissing Ma Yingfei, then stood up and used telepathy to say to the little fragrant beast outside the cauldron, "Bring her in!"

Upon hearing its master's call, the little fragrant beast immediately ordered its men to use two iron hooks to grab the shoulders of Li Ling'er, the fragrant maid of the Buddhist Immortal Sect, who was like a rotten mud covered in maggots, and dragged her up like a dead dog

. The surrounding female slaves all covered their noses, and Wu Qing shouted, "Master! Why bring this thing up? It stinks like hell!"

Ma Yingfei went even further, spitting it out as soon as she opened her mouth. Li Ling'er below the steps was no longer the graceful woman she once was. Her teeth were jagged and incomplete, and her body was covered in burns. Blood and pus oozed from her charred, rotten flesh. Several large maggots crawled in and out of her vulva. Her whole body reeked of stench. One of her eyes had been gouged out, and her nipples had been smashed. Her collarbones were hooked by long iron hooks, and she was left on the steps, barely breathing.

Shui Linfeng, unfazed by the stench, stood up, walked over to her, took the hook handle from one of the female beasts, lifted Li Ling'er up, and laughed, "Li Ling'er! I'm Shui Linfeng! Do you still recognize me?"

Li Ling'er seemed oblivious to the pain, slightly touching her mangled, rotting head, opening her nearly rotten, foul-smelling mouth, and saying in a lifeless, hoarse voice, "I recognize you! What do you want?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Would you like to be my personal beast?"

Li Ling'er suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, "Yes! Of course I would! As long as you dare to ask! I'll do it! Hahaha!" Her voice was like a vengeful ghost, sending chills down one's spine.

Fang Ning immediately shouted, "Master! Big Milk Dog objects! If you take her in, don't let her near me!"

Ma Yingfei also said, "She won't be raised properly like this! If you dare to take her in, you're never allowed to touch me again!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Have you forgotten my abilities? You two can take her to Little Flute Beast and let her be reborn! After rebirth, she'll be impaled in the Soul-Binding Thorn, renamed Little Ling Beast, and used as my lustful servant beast. I even want her to go to Suzhou for me!"

Ma Yingfei watched as Li Ling'er was dragged away. After a long pause, she lowered her hand from her nose and asked, "What are you planning now?"

Shui Linfeng replied, "Li Zhengqiang, the garrison commander of Suzhou, is a talented individual, and I want to recruit him! I've already searched the souls of Zhang Xue and Gu Juan. It turns out they are the Flower-Picking Butterfly Envoys of the Myriad Wonders Divine Cave of the Buddhist Immortal Sect, just like my female beasts. They know even more than Li Ling'er. I asked Zhang Jinhua, and she said that Zhang Xue and Gu Juan came with Li Ling'er this time, ostensibly as maids, but in reality, to monitor her. I want to completely annihilate the Buddhist Immortal Sect's power in Jiangnan, and then..." "Let them come forward and give their testimonies. We'll use propaganda to crush the Buddhist Immortal Sect first. Their strength is considerable; if we rely solely on force like Xiao Yue, we might not be able to subdue them. Let Xiao Yue fight them first, and then after I emerge from seclusion, we'll combine our forces and wipe out the Buddhist Immortal Sect. This will increase our wealth, allow us to recruit more talented individuals, and provide us with plenty of beautiful slaves and livestock—there are many benefits. However, the political situation in Daze is currently chaotic; we must wait until we can see things clearly before taking action!"

Ma Yingfei laughed, "Sly! According to you... " "Is it estimated that Yue Zhengyang won't win this campaign?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Little Yue only knows how to act recklessly! To win a war, you must first win the hearts of the people. It's really not advisable to send troops before public opinion and momentum are built up. Besides, Yue's old man has just passed away, and Liu Gao, Ji Qing, Liang Xing, and Zhang Xian are all very cunning. If Little Yue wants to send troops, don't count on those four!"

Ma Yingfei said, "This morning, I heard Li Weilong tell you that Yue Zhengyang's northern expedition against the Buddhist Immortal Sect will have Li Weilong stay in Nantian and Ai Mingyang stay in Hezhou, supporting each other from the north and south, partly to appease the people in the rear." "The army serves three purposes: first, to supply military provisions; and second, to guard our home front. The Ji Qing troops deployed in the east are assigned to the right flank, and the Liang Xing troops from Xijiang Province to the left flank. Zhang Xian will launch a pincer attack from the north to the south, while Yue Zhengyang will lead the Yue family's elite troops in the central assault. The entire army advances in an arc, leaving no gaps in its lines. Yue Zhengyang is, after all, a top student from the prestigious military academy of Jingji University, while the Buddhist Immortal Sect is a rabble. Victory should be no problem!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "As I predicted, Yue's defeat lies precisely in the word 'organized'." The lessons taught were all theoretical; in real war, the better one learned in class, the faster they died. He calculated everything, but he didn't anticipate that the current Daze government was completely unpopular. My decision to have Ai Mingyang guard Hezhou and appease the flood-stricken people was precisely to win over the populace, expand the army, and stockpile provisions, ready to support the defeated Xiao Yue at any time. If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Yue's left flank, Liang Xing, and right flank, Ji Qing, will not fight with all their might; his left and right flanks are completely exposed to the Buddhist Immortal Sect rebels, and Zhang Xian in the north... "It's impossible for them to exert their full strength; there's a lot of waiting and seeing. Liu Gao, who volunteered to raise grain and provisions in the south, is just fooling Yue Fei. 'To repel external aggression, one must first pacify the internal situation,' this is an age-old truth. If it were me, I would first kill the four pillars of the Yue family, replace them with my own reliable people, create a media frenzy, then launch a campaign of righteous indignation against the rebels, fabricating heinous crimes against the Buddhist sect before sending troops!"

Ma Yingfei laughed, "You don't understand. Speed is of the essence in war, right? If we wait until the rebels gain a foothold, it will be difficult to attack!"

Shui Linfeng smiled. Just as he was about to speak, the little fragrant beast reported, "Young Mistress Xue Fang has arrived!"

Shui Linfeng smiled and said, "Please invite her in! Have her family been settled?"

The little fragrant beast replied, "As per Master's orders, Lei Dapeng has already found a place to settle her!"

Ma Yingfei said, "Damn it! She's had another child behind my back! I can't keep an eye on her at all!"

Shui Linfeng said, "After I receive her, you sisters can go and meet her yourselves! I need to take care of some things at hand before I go into seclusion!" With that, he immediately stood up and went to greet Xue Fang. No sooner

had Yue Zhengyang left than Lu Li, along with more than eight thousand men, disguised as "Lu Li," went out to receive the property of the imperial nobles in the southeast. However, they only received the property but did not send it to the capital. When the capital was under attack, they claimed that the Buddhist Immortal Sect had cut off the vital north-south route of Qingxu and Dage, and to ensure safety, they needed to postpone the trip for a while.

Shui Linfeng didn't allow Lu Li to touch a single penny of his good friend Shi Junjie's property, but the Xiang family's assets were a different story. Since Xiang Jingyu's death, Xiang Fengjiao wouldn't be back anytime soon, and even if she did, Xiang Jingyu had no children, and Xiang Fengjiao was Shui Linfeng's personal slave; they couldn't be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

Xiang Yan, the northernmost member of the Xiang family, was the first to rebel, seizing many properties and businesses, hoping to align himself with the imperial nobles in the capital and break away. Others like Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Kang, Xiang Liang, Xiang Fan, and Xiang Qiang were also unruly. As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when things come to a head, everyone thinks of themselves.

Shui Linfeng urgently ordered Lu Li to use swift and decisive measures: kill those who should be killed, seize those who should be seized. At the same time, the rebellious Buddhist and Immortal Sect was also seizing the property of the imperial nobles and wealthy in the southeast. Those who refused to hand it over were searched, and after the location of the property was discovered, their entire families, both noble and common, were exterminated.

Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the great disaster, it was opportune to undertake large-scale construction. Labor was incredibly cheap, and many refugees were willing to do anything as long as they had food to eat. Shui Linfeng ordered Li Bozhao, the Wudang Qingchen Zhenren, who was skilled in palace and pavilion architecture, to lead three thousand elite soldiers and skilled craftsmen he had plundered, and to conscript a large number of laborers to build Zudang Mountain. The project incorporated all four surrounding peaks, and a large lake was dug around the Zudang

Mountain range, connecting it to the Yangtze River. The construction plans had already been completed. A large complex of buildings stretched from the lake at the foot of the mountain to the summit, including many large and extra-large buildings such as Furong Pavilion, Xiaoxingcha, Guiyun Pavilion, Shangchun Hall, Chengjiang Terrace, Daguan Hall, and Dicui Pavilion. Each building was ornately decorated, resembling a royal palace. The miscellaneous trees in the mountains were cleared and planted with precious tree species and flowers such as linden, locust, ginkgo, black elm, and green maple. After completion, it would be renamed "Hidden Dragon Wonderland".

Not only that, but numerous palaces and pavilions were built among the adjacent Red Mountain, White Mountain, and Valley Mountain, with enough space to garrison 30,000 troops. Various secret passages and mechanisms were also hidden within the mountains. A large, dedicated wharf stood along the riverbank, and more than a dozen small towns were scattered around, convenient for the original residents. These towns, with their blue-tiled roofs and green brick walls, boasted a full range of entertainment venues, catering to the future garrison's pleasures.

The entire complex, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, was both ancient and elegant, yet remarkably modern. While its roads were extensive, it remained isolated from the outside world. The surrounding mountains were riddled with traps, making direct access impossible. The only way to enter the Hidden Dragon Wonderland was through four man-made tunnels that pierced through the earth. After the flood, the area was deserted, making construction convenient. Now, with Shui Linfeng in the south, he could do as he pleased, and no one could stop him.

Shui Linfeng wanted to finish things quickly, but things seemed to be working against him, becoming increasingly numerous. At the end of October, Tang Lu, unable to find Xiang Jingyu, brought her nieces and nephews, Tang Mu and Tang Liang, to Fengqi Pavilion, demanding that Ma Yingfei take them in.

When Shui Linfeng urgently inquired about the Liaodong war situation with Zhu Wu and Mai Ting, he was told that Dongyang City had already been captured by Gonggong's army, and now the Great Ze Empire was engulfed in war from northeast to northwest, with thousands of miles of red cliffs, rivers of blood, and widespread suffering.

The Daze government was doing its utmost to block many confidential messages from the north. Coupled with the severe flooding in the southeast, disrupted telecommunications, and the rebellion of the Buddhist and Immortal Sect, north-south transportation was cut off, making information transmission extremely difficult. Shui Linfeng was shocked to learn that many things were new to him. If the beastmen were to advance unimpeded, the "Hidden Dragon Wonderland" of Zudang Mountain would be pointless to build;

it would be a waste of time. Ma Yingfei also received news from her former subordinates that the northwest had fallen and her father had died. She wept bitterly and wanted to return to fight the beastmen, but was stopped by others and gradually calmed down. Ma Yingfei was also very intelligent; she knew that acting rashly would only make things worse and that a long-term plan was needed. However, she was completely baffled by the fall of Yuchongkou.

A day later, accurate news about the Ma family arrived from Lu Li's side. Ma Yingfei refused to believe that her father and brothers had colluded with foreign powers to allow the beastmen to enter the pass, nor did she believe that the Ma family would disregard the greater good and assassinate Zhao Chengyu. She resolved to go to the capital to find out the truth. Shui Linfeng knew he couldn't stop her, but he was about to go into seclusion. If he gave up cultivation now, it would be difficult to make great progress in the future.

Shu Chang advised that she and Zheng Shuang could accompany the mistress, but Shui Linfeng was worried that their cultivation levels were too low. If something really happened, they would not only be unable to help Ma Yingfei, but would also hold her back.

Lu Xiaoxiao said, "In that case, Peijun and I will accompany Mistress north!"

Shui Linfeng thought it was a good idea. Besides, a year in the cauldron is only a day in the outside world. He had been in seclusion for one or two hundred years, so only a few months had passed outside. The three of them were all highly skilled, and Lu Xiaoxiao and Ruan Peijun had spent many years in the capital region. He figured there wouldn't be any problems. He nodded and said, "Alright! But if things go wrong, don't try to be a hero. One of you must run in and report to me! Xiaoshou and Peishou! Listen carefully, you two must take good care of Mistress. If anything goes wrong, watch out for your skin!"

Lu Xiaoxiao and Ruan Peijun replied in unison, "Don't worry, Master!"

Ma Yingfei said, "I only want to gather information before going to the capital region. I don't want to come back tomorrow. Teach me your 'Immortal Cry' technique too!"

Shui Linfeng laughed and said, "I forgot about that. The three of you can learn it together!"

He then taught the three of them the "Immortal Cry" technique. At the same time, thinking of Feng Piaoxue, Shui Linfeng already knew about her from the foxes. Now, the nine-tailed fox Hu Zanyu and the black prison fox Li Nonghua, leading thirty spirit foxes, were also loyal to Shui Linfeng. These foxes had already died once when the breakout attempt failed, and besides, they were also acting under orders when they killed Xiang Jingyu.

Immediately, he ordered someone to summon the two sly foxes, Hu and Li, and instructed them to take Lu Li's warrant, escort some jewels and gold, and follow the mistress north. On one hand, they were to pass on messages, and on the other hand, they were to recruit disciples to serve Shui Linfeng. Ideally, they should lure the fire fox Hao Xinxiu here. Most importantly, they needed to find a way to get Feng Piaoxue out and tell them that they could only outsmart her, not fight her by force.

Li Zhengqiang was first tricked out of the military camp by Li Ling'er, then forcibly captured and infiltrated into the Lihun Thorn, becoming a slave. Shui Linfeng gave him a Blade Battalion, ordering him to return to Suzhou, recruit soldiers, expand the army to 30,000 to 50,000, and wipe out the Buddhist Immortal Sect's forces in eastern Jiangnan. In the east, he would coordinate with Ai and Li. Huixin,

the Southern Arhat of Lingjiu Temple, was originally a high-ranking Shaolin monk who later joined the Buddhist Immortal Sect. He and Huixin, the Buddha-faced Iron-hearted One of the Thirteen Dragon Souls, were originally fellow disciples. This time, he was also tricked out by Li Ling'er and became Shui Linfeng's slave. Huixin revealed to Shui Linfeng that Ji Qing had already joined the Buddhist Immortal Sect. Shui Linfeng was shocked and hurriedly ordered Ai Mingyang and Li Weilong to persuade Yue Zhengyang to return with his troops. Yue Zhengyang was stubborn and refused to listen.

Shui Linfeng then urgently ordered Li Zhengqiang to keep an eye on Ji Qing's movements. If Ji Qing defected, they were to launch a surprise attack on his stronghold in Tongzhou, capture Ji Qing's family as hostages, force Ji Qing to return with his troops, and allow Yue Zhengyang to escape south. He also ordered Ai Mingyang of Hezhou to keep an eye on Yue Zhengyang's movements. If he escaped back, he was to send elite troops to intercept him. Yue Jianfeng, the old henchman of the Yue family, was already dead, his soul and body nowhere to be found. If Yue Zhengyang also died, and Yue Yunjiao returned, Shui Linfeng would be in a real predicament.

As evening fell, Ma Yingfei finished packing and ran to say goodbye to Shui Linfeng, saying, "I have to go now! That girl Tang Lu is crying alone outside! I'm really worried about her. We've known each other for a while, and if anything happens to her, I'll never be able to rest easy!"

Shui Linfeng smiled bitterly, "She still thinks I'm Xiang Jingyu! What am I supposed to do?"

Ma Yingfei said, "You have to take responsibility for what you've done. Besides, you have countless women, what difference does one more make? Furthermore, when I'm not home, someone needs to keep an eye on you! Although Xue Fang is the mistress, she can't control you!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Don't give me that! If she wants to control my taking in servants and concubines, then let her go find Xiang Jingyu!"

Xue Fang said: "Husband! Don't be so heartless! Sister Tang Lu is homeless!"

Ma Yingfei said, "I'll go and call Tang Lu here. I'll find a way to make her recognize you, you troublemaker!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Tang Lu is stubborn, that's fine! Call her in! If she doesn't want to be the mistress, then forget it!"

Ma Yingfei said, "You wait!"

Tang Lu followed Ma Yingfei into the Golden Cauldron. To her, it was just a door on the top floor of Phoenix Perch Pavilion, but inside was a completely different world. She asked stupidly, "Where is Brother Xiang?"

Ma Yingfei pointed to Shui Linfeng on the steps and said, "Isn't that him!"

Tang Lu looked left and right, then suddenly burst into tears, "You heartless bastard! You're hiding here, enjoying yourself with women on both sides, while I've been searching for you! You're already in the dark, why did you have to get plastic surgery?"

Shui Linfeng exclaimed in surprise, "No way! You can recognize me like this?"

Tang Lu stepped forward and, without thinking twice, unleashed a flurry of punches. Shui Linfeng glared and said, "Alright! You've got the wrong person!"

Tang Lu retorted angrily, "Xiang Jingyu! Don't think I won't recognize you just because you've gotten a handsome face!"

She pulled down Shui Linfeng's right sleeve and asked, "What's this?"

A row of neat teeth marks, like a woven shell, were imprinted on his right shoulder. Shui Linfeng smiled bitterly, "Oh my god! I completely forgot about this!"

Xue Fang asked curiously, "What happened?"

Ma Yingfei wanted to laugh, but couldn't because of the Ma family's situation. She said slowly, "Back in Las Fara, I was to Linfeng's left, and Tang Xiaoni was to Linfeng's right. Tang Xiaoni, fearing Linfeng might renege on his promise later,..." He made a mark by biting on his right shoulder, and I made a mark by biting on Lin Feng's left shoulder too!

Tang Lu said, "Lin Feng? Who are you? What's going on?"

Xue Fang said with a wicked smile, "So my husband can cheat! Let me think! Where should I bite? Ah--! That's it!"

Suddenly she buried her head between Shui Lin Feng's legs, opened her small mouth, and went to find his penis. Shui Lin Feng was shocked and said, "Oh my god--! You can't bite here! Good Fang'er, I won't forget you!"

Ma Yingfei said, "Alright! I'm about to head north, Tang Lu! Here's what happened...!"

She told Tang Lu the whole story in detail. Tang Lu listened in silence, staring at Shui Lin Feng with her phoenix eyes.

After Ma Yingfei finished speaking, she laughed and said, "I already told you that day on the long bridge, you don't even know who he is, yet you're talking about marriage. Look at him, he may be a bit lecherous, but he's incredibly handsome. Actually, we've been caught red-handed several times, but you just couldn't see it!"

Shui Linfeng smiled bitterly, "I had no choice, I didn't mean to lie to you! Now you know, I'm not royalty, don't look at me like that! It's embarrassing!"

Tang Lu finally exploded, jumping up and roaring, "Shui Linfeng! You dare lie to me! You took so many advantages of him, are you just going to let it go? Don't run! Stop obediently, lie down on your backside, and I'll give you a few good kicks to vent my anger, then write a million-word profound repentance...!"

Chapter Ten: Land Distribution and Share Equalization

The Great Swamp encompasses over 20 million square kilometers of land, but its inhabitants are peculiarly concentrated in the southeastern coastal areas and the capital region. The capital city alone boasts a population of 14 million.

The so-called Twelve Southeastern Provinces refer to Dongjiang, Xijiang, Jiangnan, Qujiang, Anru, Linhai, Shangyang, Huaidong, Huaixi, Dinghuai, Tongping, and Anhua provinces. These twelve provinces are the most prosperous regions of the Great Swamp Empire, rarely ravaged by war, with thriving maritime trade, a prosperous economy, dense populations, and abundant fertile fields and lakes. For centuries, they have been a place of constant music and revelry, with nightly celebrations and dances.

Nantian City, the capital of these twelve southeastern provinces, is a haven for royalty and nobility. Fu Jia Tian Xia, the economic center of Da Ze, has a population larger than that of the political center, the capital. Over 30 million people live crammed into the city and its surrounding areas. Normally, the streets are bustling with people, lined with luxury cars,

and filled with beautiful women—a truly vibrant and prosperous place. But when a major disaster strikes, it's disastrous. People live in clusters, and they die in clusters; one death leads to another, and rescue becomes impossible! This time, the flood mainly affected parts of Dongjiang Province and nearby Xijiang, Jiangnan, Anru, and Linhai Provinces. The officials of these provinces, both high and low, had long been turned into slaves by Shui Lin Feng. Following Shui Lin Feng's orders, after the flood, they were to save the young and not the old, the strong and not the weak, abandoning the useless and conserving precious resources.

During the great flood, Sun Jian, the Iron-Handed Chief of the Southern Sky District and the twelve southeastern provinces, was ordered by Shui Linfeng to act as a government agent. Together with the heads of dozens of local criminal investigation bureaus in the five affected southeastern provinces, they were to carry out a large-scale arrest of beautiful women and able-bodied men under the pretext of "causing trouble," and to confiscate various supplies for their own use. The

openly arrested able-bodied men filled the prisons to capacity, their cries of injustice echoing throughout. Shui Linfeng ordered Ai Mingyang, Li Weilong, and Li Zhengqiang to take their elite guards to various prisons to select elite soldiers. Those arrested without cause were told that as long as they were willing to serve the country, the military, regardless of their guilt, could release them from the intelligence bureau and allow them to serve their regular military service in the swamp to stabilize the disaster situation.

In reality, even if they were released, after the flood, there were no factories or shops left; the wealthy and powerful had all been arrested by Lu Li, their souls searched using Taoist magic, and their property confiscated. Wang Jianbo, Hou Xudong, and Fei Yukun, three of the "Four Idiots of Nanjing University," couldn't stay still. At Shui Linfeng's instruction, they lobbied and spread the word, demanding that the flood situation be stabilized first before heading north to fight the beastmen's invasion.

As a result, not only did Ai Mingyang, Li Weilong, and Li Zhengqiang quickly fill their respective 50,000 regular troops, but Wang Jianbo, Hou Xudong, Fei Yukun, along with fellow Nanjing University students Tao Wenyong, Sun Dingguo, Dong Fangning, Xu Guoteng, Lin Huaibu, and Shi Guochao, each recruited seven or eight thousand volunteers.

Shui Linfeng was overjoyed. Although the flood had subsided, the southeast was prosperous, and provisions and supplies were not a problem. He could simply plunder wealthy households. He immediately ordered Lu Li to secretly infiltrate the former Tiger Group's Imperial Guards into the nine-man volunteer army to help organize the troops.

Shui Linfeng's idea was to rob wealthy families, provide relief to the vast majority of ordinary people, give them free clothing and food, and allow the homeless to live in vacant commercial housing units, with each unit becoming their own. Workers were quickly organized, equipment salvaged, shares distributed equally, and morale restored to production. Confiscated farmland was also rapidly distributed to households for planting grains and vegetables.

Shui Linfeng, born into poverty, had no interest in the interests of royalty and nobility. Since he didn't care about their lives, things became much easier. Within a month, the five disaster-stricken southeastern provinces rapidly prospered again, with the people shouting "Long live the Emperor!"

The beauties captured during the "trouble" were all exceptionally beautiful, each with captivating charm. The southeast was known for its beautiful women, and Shui Linfeng, taking advantage of the situation, captured over 16,000 young women, all from respectable families. Unlike the "beasts" he had collected as trash, Shui Linfeng selected over 400 stunning beauties to keep as his personal servants. He ordered Xu Ying, Sun Zihan, and Li Xiaoran to lead the training and manipulation of them. The rest were to be used as "public buses," with Chen Bingbing, Zhang Xue, and Gu Juan instructing them to intensify their training so they could be used as a reward for the Blade Force's amusement.

These 16,000 newly recruited beauties will also be refined into innate Dao bodies and undergo martial arts training. They can be used as female beasts to satisfy the physiological needs of the Blade Warriors, or they can be incorporated into the Enchantress Lightning Force for combat. Including the previous 5,000 female beasts, the number of public buses in the cauldron has exceeded 20,000.

Apart from the more than 600 stunningly beautiful private beasts carefully selected by Shui Linfeng, all the Blade Warriors can play with the other 20,000 beautiful "public buses" at will. Their offspring, when they reach the age of sixteen or seventeen, will be made into innate Dao bodies, implanted with Soul-Binding Thorns, fed with Living Soul Pearls, and have their blood samples taken to become new Blade Warriors and Enchantress Lightning Warriors. One day in nature is equivalent to one year in the cauldron. If someone goes out on business and does not return for ten days or half a month, they will surely find many new faces when they return to the cauldron.

The transmission of knowledge was also simple, without the rote learning of the outside world. Highly skilled male and female warriors could simply press the Baihui acupoints on the children's heads, using bio-electric waves to transmit consciousness and "burn" various kinds of knowledge into them. Xue Fang took over the administrative management of population registration, and Shui Linfeng, fearing she couldn't handle it alone, appointed Hu Xing'er and Li Caiye as her deputies. All newborn beauties under the age of sixteen were forbidden from deflowering. Once they reached sixteen, they were all brought to Shui Linfeng, who would choose his favorites to keep as his personal beasts. Those not chosen were allowed to mate with others.

Ruan Peijun, Lu Xiaoxiao, Nangong Chun, He Yiqing, Huang Ling'er, and others were exceptions. Shui Linfeng could cultivate with them, using their cultivation to accelerate his own, but he wouldn't possess them exclusively. Nominally, they were all his concubines, but they were also allowed to take other Blade Warriors as male animals. After giving birth to beautiful young girls, Shui Linfeng would then take his favorites as his personal beasts.

Lou Kan, Bai Meiyu, Zhu Qingqing, and the twelve pangolin spirits were exceptions. Shui Linfeng allowed them to bring their chosen kind into the cauldron to form a powerful thousand-demon army for future use. Lou Kan had an extremely strong sex drive. In recent days, he had also taken in several female tigers, leopards, and lionesses, and successfully tricked several spirit beasts into coming in for Shui Linfeng to subdue. Bai Meiyu had also brought in many of her kind, among whom a platinum eagle and a swift were the most powerful, both with over a thousand years of cultivation.

Shui Linfeng sat in the hall on the second floor of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, ordering Xu Ying to bring up two newly recruited beauties from Nantian City, Lu Xiaoxin and Chen Shasha, and ordered them to perform oral sex. Although the two had been implanted with the Soul-Binding Thorn, they were only sixteen years old. It was their first time performing oral sex on a man, and they seemed unaccustomed to it. Hesitantly, they opened their cherry-like mouths and took half of Shui Linfeng's still-unenlarged penis into their mouths, filling them completely. The fragrance of young girls wafted over, intoxicating everyone.

Tang Lu said, "You pervert! They're so young, isn't it a bit cruel to make them serve you?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "In ancient times, fourteen-year-old women would bear children for others. These two are both sixteen, not young at all! Don't make a fuss! I'm enjoying myself while I have a ton of things to do. After I'm done, I'll go into seclusion!"

Tang Lu said, "You idiot! When are you going to march on Dongyang?"

Shui Linfeng said, "I can't possibly fly over the Chen family army's territory to Dongyang City, can I? Besides, if I want to save Dongyang, I don't have enough men. Even if I had millions of troops, what would I feed them? This can't be rushed!

" Upon receiving Zhu Wu's "telepathic message," Shui Linfeng relayed the Emperor's court deliberations and his own plans in one go. Shui Linfeng thought to himself, "It's over! They can even come up with such a cowardly idea! Daze is finished! At this rate, the capital region is highly likely to fall. Little Ma Tizi should avoid a disastrous attack. If the beastmen march south with their army, Nantian will be finished within a year. What should we do?"

His eyes darted around, and a plan formed in his mind. He urgently summoned Wan Hua Piaoxiang and He Yiqing to his side, while simultaneously ordering Hong Ji to retrieve the bottle of poison powder refined from the internal organs of the old beast spirit from the hell of the Golden Cauldron.

Amidst the fragrance of a thousand flowers, He Yiqing, dressed in a seductive and revealing outfit with knee-high boots, stepped forward and knelt down, saying, "Master summons Yi Beast, what are your orders?"

Shui Linfeng said, "Yi Beast! Quickly take this bottle of Madam's Poison Powder, catch up with the Mistress, give it to her, and tell her this and that!"

He Yiqing said, "Yes! This little beast will go immediately!"

Shui Linfeng then relayed a message to Zhu Wu: "What I lack right now is a strategist. You and Mai Ting, after you lure Liang Kuan, the 'Pink-Faced Poison Wolf,' and Bai Songxi, the 'Little Zhuge,' to stay temporarily with Lu Li!" He then relayed another message to Lu Li: "You know the Divine Strategist Zhu Wu, right? In a few days, he will bring Liang Kuan and Bai Songxi. You keep them here, subdue Liang Kuan and Bai Songxi, and send them over to the Great Flute Beast for punishment!"

Lu Li replied: "Yes, my lord! The Xue family's former fiefdom has been completely occupied by the Buddhist Immortal Sect. Xiao Yue's troops are winning victory after victory, shaking off the left and right flanks, and heading northwest." The area along the Hai and An lines is rife with fighting. The Xue family's former six generals have nowhere to go, and their property was confiscated by the Buddhist Immortal Sect. Now they've come to seek refuge with me. Should I take them in?"

Shui Linfeng said, "Take them in! Of course I'll take them in. After they arrive, I'll first hand them over to Little Flute Beast for discipline, then order three of them to report to Ai Mingyang's army, and three to report to Li Zhengqiang's army. These two have just recruited 50,000 strong men and are in dire need of generals to command. After I've settled the troops in the north and east of Nantian City, I'll need them urgently!" "Xiao Yue is winning big? Oh no! These country bumpkins from the Buddhist Immortal Sect are luring the enemy, they want to..." "Lure Xiao Yue away from Nantian and Hezhou, find a strategically important location, and annihilate him in one fell swoop. What about his left and right flanks?"

Lu Li said, "Ji Qing and Liang Xing have only traveled less than 100 kilometers in five days, and are now far behind Xiao Yue! Zhang Xian was already terrified by the Buddha Immortal Sect, and now that he knows Old Man Yue is dead, he has led his remaining troops to surrender to Chen Chun! As for Liu Gao, that slippery fellow, just as the lord predicted, he hasn't even left Qujiang Province. Xiao Yue has issued several military orders urging him to come, but he just ignores them!"

Shui Linfeng pondered, "Does this Liu Gao want to establish himself?" "Alright! I understand!"

Lu Li laughed, "Jingji doesn't know we've all pledged our loyalty to our lord yet, and they've even sent the one who assassinated Zhao Chengyu—the best super soldier, named Feng Ling, along with two other top super soldiers, Jin Ling and Yin Ling—and the top expert of the Male Tiger Group, Xiahou Feng, the Cloud Piercing Tiger, leading a hundred Male Tigers and Jinyiwei elites from the north to surrender. They're all veterans of the old intelligence agency, and their skills are top-notch. Furthermore, according to Jingji's information, it should be within the next couple of days! Previously, Wei Li, known as the 'Miraculous Hand Flying Flower,' was involved in operations in Nantian City..." "The twenty-seven beautiful female spies under the head of the Flower Thorn Group will also report to me, my lord! Should we accept them all?"

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly, "Of course we'll accept them all! After capturing them, hand them all over to the Big and Little Flute Beasts for processing. We need to handle things efficiently. I will be going into seclusion soon. You handle things outside, try to be as conservative as possible, and don't make any mistakes. Before I come out of seclusion, gather as much information as possible, and don't act rashly!"

Lu Li said, "Yes, my lord!"

Just as things were settled here, Chen Shang's phone rang again. Chen Shang said, "My lord! Telecom from the southeast..." "The signal is terrible, I had to try several times before I got through!"

Shui Linfeng asked. "What is it?"

Chen Shang replied, "My lord! The beastman army is launching a massive offensive, and we're on edge every day. To ensure that the most advanced arsenal in Daze doesn't fall into the hands of the beastmen, the Emperor has ordered us to relocate. The new site is in Yunpan Mountain, between Shangyang and Xiayang provinces, in the border area between the Yue Family Army and the Yang Family Army. The official document says that finished weapons, as many as possible, should be distributed to the various armies of the Chen family to resist the beastmen, and anything that can't be disposed of should be destroyed!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "What a waste to destroy them !" "Immediately summon Lan and Zi to come and move the supplies. You expedite the assembly of any weapons that haven't been completed. Produce and move them simultaneously. My army is expanding in the southeast; food supplies aren't a problem, but weapons are! This is a timely help!"

Chen Shang replied, "Yes—! There's another matter. The Imperial strategist, Hao Lianxin, secretly contacted me, asking me to protect my nephew, Chen Buyun, so he could become emperor in Yunnan. I was curious, so I pressed him for details, and it turns out it's like this…!"

Shui Linfeng laughed after hearing the plan of the three old devils of the Empire, saying, "I knew it! Who fights like this?" "He's just sitting there, waiting to be beaten, so that's how it is! You should stall him for a bit, and plan for the future!"

Just as Chen Shang hung up, Chen Deng called again. Shui Linfeng laughed loudly, "Is it that old fox Zhang Tang who wants you to protect Chen Buyun as the Great Emperor?"

Chen Deng said, "Heavens! My lord is truly a reincarnation of Zhuge Liang! Before I even open my mouth, you already know what I'm going to say! Amazing!"

Shui Linfeng said, "You should stall him for a bit, and we'll talk about it later! When the beastmen attack, don't fight recklessly. Just head south to the mountains; preserving your strength is the most important thing!"

Chen Deng said, "Yes—!"

"Heavens! Why is it so hard to get through to my lord on the phone?" Yuwen Jing complained.

Shui Linfeng laughed, "What could it be?"

Yuwen Jing said, "The beast army is unstoppable. In the Battle of the Yellow River, our so-called 140,000 elite troops were utterly routed by the beast tribe's 20,000 vanguard, fleeing in disarray. The nobles of the capital are all busy fleeing abroad! The Wu family has decided to sell all their assets, and then Wu Denggao will lead the entire Wu family to America. Those things are incredibly cheap. My lord, would you like some?"

Shui Linfeng immediately refused, "No! Real estate, farmland, ancient..." " Playing with calligraphy and paintings is all for naught when the beastmen attack. Besides, the world is in chaos now. After the beastmen retreat, can't I just let my troops plunder? Why be foolish enough to spend gold and silver to sell them?"

Yuwen Jing said, "My lord is wise. However, those beautiful female beasts that the nobles can't take are incredibly cheap! Many of them are stunning beauties they are currently favoring. Because there are too many to take, the nobles have no choice but to sell them!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "I'll buy as many female beasts as I can. Master, I have plenty of money now! But it's not possible to..." "You can give them gold and silver. Go and find out the market price, see if US dollars work?"

Yuwen Jing said, "US dollars are a hard currency, of course they'll work! Master, where did you get so many US dollars?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Now the wealth of the Southeast is all in my hands. You wholesale all the females, and I'll have Zi and Lan pick them up. Luckily, their flying speed is almost the speed of light, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to handle it!"

Yuwen Jing said, "My lord! Going abroad now, it's simply impossible for Shang Liangang and me to..." "We can't get on the plane. He and I are always inseparable. Can we bring him here to avoid trouble?"

Shui Linfeng laughed and said, "Of course! After you arrive, just find Lu Li!"

Yuwen Jing exclaimed in surprise, "Heavens! Lu Li is also one of your subordinates?"

Shui Linfeng laughed and said, "Yes! Don't be so surprised!"

After hanging up the phone, he instructed Lu Li to prepare Shang Liangang according to the law after Yuwen Jing brought him over, and to make him into a slave. He also recruited Lan and Zi, and instructed Chen Shang and the capital region to receive the people and goods.

Tang Lu asked, "Are you done with your work?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Finally done. Whatever happens afterward, leave it to Lu Li and the others to handle. I can't manage it. Starting tomorrow, I'll be going into seclusion inside the cauldron, which might take over a hundred years. If you count from outside the cauldron, it'll probably be three or four months! You and the little fragrant beast will stay in this Phoenix Perch Pavilion. Take good care of Tang Mu and Tang Liang, and don't wander off. The world is in chaos right now! It'll be terrible if I can't find you when I come out!"

Tang Lu said, "I'm not a child, I know what's important! Are these two little beauties licking you comfortably?"

Shui Linfeng pulled on the silver chain on his wrist and laughed, "Their oral skills are better than yours..." "Little one, but much more serious than you. A female beast is a female beast, very obedient!"

Lu Xiaoxin spat out the penis and asked cautiously, "Master! Do you want to penetrate us? Chen Shasha and I haven't been deflowered yet!"

Shui Linfeng patted her little face, hugged them in his arms, and pinched their newly developed little breasts, laughing, "You misspoke. Considering your young age, I'll spare you the whip! Don't do it again!"

The little fragrant beast crawled over on its knees and laughed, "You two, hurry up and thank your master. You should call yourselves Xin Beast and Sha Beast!"

Lu Xiaoxin and Chen Shasha buried their fragrant pink faces in Shui Linfeng's arms and rubbed against each other, saying in seductive voices, "Xin Beast (Sha Beast) is ignorant, please punish us, Master!"

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly, "Alright! You two are so cute, you'll be my pet cats from now on! You'll be called Xiaoxin Cat, and you'll be called Shasha Cat, okay? Come on—! Turn your butts around, let me see if I can fit them in!"

The two beautiful cats cried out in unison, "Meow—!"

They knelt on the carpet together, swaying their delicate snowy buttocks, and said in a sweet voice, "Xiaoxin Cat (Shasha Cat) thanks Master for bestowing names upon us! Our little cats' holes are very tight, please be gentle with us, Master!"

Shui Linfeng stroked the four smooth and pink round buttocks, rubbing them up and down, occasionally running his fingers across the pink cleft. These two little cats were too young, their female hair hadn't even grown in yet, and although they didn't understand human affairs, their sensitive areas were being played with and rubbed by a man like this, which aroused them greatly.

A beautiful blush rose on her body, her four small, snowball-like breasts stood erect, and her vulva was wet with gushing fluids. Fragrant nectar flowed down her snow-white, pink inner thighs, dripping onto the carpet, its alluring scent filling the air.
