Ascension

The disciples settled down one by one.

Huo Xin, Yan Xuehui, Yu Yu, Linghu Fei... the geniuses and elites of Giant Frog Pond also started a new life.

Yu Ruxin followed Ye Hanjun every day, inspecting the territory and planting plants at the same time. Her life was busy and fulfilling.

……

Ten days later.

Wan Ming appeared in front of him, bowed and answered:

"Your Highness, I have collected general information on the surrounding territories and am here to report to you."

"Tell me."

Ye Hanjun took off his gloves and listened carefully.

"Your Highness, according to my investigation, there are three territories near the Guixi River area."

"The one in the north-west is suspected to be a certain big boss. It is completely shrouded in blood mist and is not open to the public at all."

"There are two buildings on the south side. One is neglected and looks abandoned."

“But after dabbling a little bit, all my bugs died.”

"The feedback I received before I died was that there were many strange mutant plants roaming around inside, preying on prey indiscriminately. It would be a typical thankless task to get through there."

Ye Hanjun frowned, and then said:

"The third territory is called "Wuhuatu". I found the owner and called it "Yeliu". "

"I don't know anything about him. If Your Highness knows him, you might as well recall whether it's easy to get in touch with him."

"Ye Liu?"

Ye Hanjun's brows relaxed slightly:

"It's such an ancient era, I don't know if there is anyone with the same name."

"But in recent years, there has been such a member of our clan."

"He is twenty or thirty years older than me and has a lower reputation."

"Coupled with his average talent and lack of intention to control spirits, he can be classified as a standard hedonist."

"Then your Highness should be able to rest assured."

Wan Ming breathed a sigh of relief:

"The Ye clan members of the hedonistic faction will not easily get involved in fights, so they can protect themselves wisely."

"With His Highness's reputation and status, I guess he won't refuse if I can use the passage to pass through."

"Huh? Do you have to pass through his territory?"

Ye Hanjun heard the strangeness in Wan Ming's tone and felt a little strange.

"Your Highness is unaware of something."

Wan Ming solemnly said:

"The two territories in the south have a tributary of the "White Dead Sea" in the middle. It is impossible for us to cross from here. "

"The area further east could have been detoured."

"But I discovered a "howling magnetic field" that is taking shape. This special disaster climate will take three to five years to disappear. "

"Like this...looking around, there is only Wuhuatu in the direction leading directly to the Gravel Prison."

"As long as we can borrow a road from Yeliu's territory, it is the best choice in terms of safety factor and distance required."

"That's fine."

Ye Hanjun nodded, "Go prepare a small gift, and we will visit together later."

"As ordered."

Wanming rode the feathered moth and left quickly.

……

Half a day later, the sickle moon glowed fluorescently.

This was the signal for "nightfall". Lord Ye Han immediately led Yu Ruxin, riding the Blood Moon Sirius, towards the south of the Guixi River.

Wan Ming followed beside him, always keeping abreast of each other.

Blood Moon Sirius's footsteps are not slow, and he can cross hundreds of miles in just a few minutes.

But it took three hours to cross the Guixi River.

It was another hour after leaving the Guixi River area and not arriving at Wuhua Land.

Finally, a row of thousand-meter-high ancient whale willow trees gradually came into view.

The trunk of this kind of tree is extremely fat and extremely tall. From a distance, it looks like a stretching city wall, supporting a basic line of defense.

"Aww-wow!!"

Facing the sickle moon, the blood moon wolf howled loudly.

The shrill voice turned into sound waves, shattering the branches of many ancient whale willow trees and rushing inwards.

"Kong Kong! Kong Kong!!"

A pair of soldiers came quickly, both wearing superior armor.

The mounts he rides on are, without exception, the Tier of Heaven and Earth corresponding to the sixth level.

"Go and report to your lord that the young king of the Ye clan will use the road through your territory and ask him to come out to greet him!"

The Blood Moon Sirius stopped howling and instead shouted in pure devil language.

"Young King Ye's family?"

The expressions of the soldiers changed drastically, especially the captain of the soldiers. He immediately jumped off his mount and knelt on the ground with one knee:

"I'm scared, I wonder which young prince is here unexpectedly?"

Blood Moon Sirius glanced at the boss, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, he chuckled and said:

"The son of the uncrowned Shura—Jun Yehan!"

"Is your Highness in the territory? If so, let him come out quickly!"

"Yes, my subordinates will go and report it now!"

The soldier captain led half the team back in a hurry.

The Blood Moon Sirius dug up the muddy ground with all kinds of boredom, pulling out corpses one after another, and said slightly speechlessly:

"Using female human bones as fertilizer to plant willow trees?"

"Your Highness, I'm afraid your tribe is not a good one, so be careful to avoid being deceived."

Ye Hanjun nodded lightly.

In fact, no one needs to remind him, he is mentally prepared.

There are only a few people in the Ye clan who can be said to have a "fair relationship".

Such a big family never lacks cruel competition.

Those who can survive well, whether they are hedonistic or dedicated to cultivating Taoism, must have their skills and abilities.

……

"What's going on? It's been a long time, why haven't you come back yet?"

After waiting patiently for a long time, Blood Moon Sirius gradually lost patience.

It asked the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, with a clear questioning tone in their tone.

The soldiers were sweating profusely, but they did not dare to speak and answered. They just kept kneeling on one knee and were as respectful as possible.

"Something's wrong."

Wan Ming secretly transmitted the message:

"Wuhuatu's territory cannot be bigger than ours."

"Although I am traveling in the womb of heaven and earth, my pace is slow."

"But since he has obtained the surname of Ye, there must be a seventh-level guard by Ye Liu's side."

"The howl of Sirius was so loud before, but if you have a sense of crisis, you won't ignore it until now."

"There's no rush." ​​Ye Hanjun said with his lips: "See what tricks they are playing, and it's not too late to deal with them."

Wanming nodded and hid in the shadow of the willow tree, his figure getting thinner.

……

Gradually, the three-wheeled sickle purple moon goes out and lights up, signaling the end of the day.

One day in the Dark Lantern Abyss is approximately equal to two days in the Giant Frog Pond. The concepts of time are not the same.

In other words, Ye Hanjun stood outside Wuhuatu and waited for a full 48 hours.

The half of the soldiers also knelt for 48 hours.

With their physiques, they may also suffer from soreness and discomfort.

"That's unreasonable!"

"Does your lord not take the young king of the Ye family seriously?"

Blood Moon Sirius became angry and slapped him away.

All the kneeling soldiers flew out and hit the trunk of the willow tree with a dull thud.

"Oh, Your Highness, calm down! Calm down!"

A six-legged lizard crawled up the back of the willow tree and climbed overhead.

There was an old man with a mole on the tip of his nose. He wore a flattering smile and kept comforting:

"Your Highness, you don't know something!"

"Our Highness has been too tired in recent days and has not seen anyone. He is taking a medicinal bath to recuperate his body."

"After hearing that it was you who was coming, he originally planned to interrupt the medicinal bath and come to the door to greet you no matter what."

"But there is a pharmacist beside His Highness, who tried hard to dissuade him."

"According to his wishes, since this medicinal bath has begun, there is no reason to interrupt it."

"Otherwise, if the body is not well-conditioned, it will develop hidden diseases, which in turn will seriously damage the vitality."

"Your Royal Highness, do you have anything important? If you are in a hurry, I will inform you."

"If you are not in a hurry, see if you can wait until His Highness finishes his medicinal bath, and we will come back to welcome you properly."

"Urgent, not in a hurry."

Ye Hanjun said calmly:

"I want to use your territory to travel through. Do I need to report this little thing?"

"That's natural!"

The old man who was suspected to be the butler was obviously only a sixth-ranked family master, but he said all kinds of exaggerations:

"His Royal Highness the Young King wants to borrow a way from us, he shouldn't refuse."

"But there are also many dangerous areas in our territory, so we should be careful to avoid them on weekdays."

"Your Highness, you might as well wait a little longer. It will only take sixty or seventy days. After finishing the medicinal bath, His Highness Liu will personally come to guide you."

"Sixty or seventy days?"

Ye Hanjun smiled, his smile flashed, his eyes were cold and he said:

"I also know a little about pharmacology. What kind of medicinal bath takes so long?" "Your Highness, I am a rough man and I dare not ask His Highness Liu these questions."

The steward kept nodding and bowing, his attitude was extremely respectful, but in his words he kept looking for excuses:

"Your Royal Highness, I hope you understand."

"You came too suddenly, and the timing was so unlucky. We were helpless."

"Roar!!"

Blood Moon Sirius took a step forward, its blood-red claws faintly aimed at the head of the six-legged lizard:

"Why do you think, Old Wolf, you sincerely don't want us to go there?"

"Your Excellency, the Wolf King, is joking."

The steward showed no fear and continued to talk:

"Our Highness is really interested in this medicinal bath. It is really helpless to neglect a few people for this."

"Bastard!"

The Blood Moon Sirius was about to pounce, but Lord Ye Han stopped it and shook his head gently.

"Your Highness, that soldier captain in front of me is respectful from the bottom of my heart!"

"This glib old man is obviously trying to stall us. He doesn't want us to use the road through Wuhuatu at all!"

The grinning Blood Moon Sirius secretly angrily said:

"How about we break in?"

"Over at Yeliu, one or two of the seventh-level guards were killed."

"We call the Bone Dragon, and then we call Wangtu and the Abyss Demonic Insects. Together with Wanming, we will definitely have the strength to crush them!"

"inappropriate!"

Before Ye Hanjun spoke, Wan Ming reminded him seriously:

"We are both members of the Ye clan, and the family turns a blind eye even to vicious competition, let alone healthy competition."

"Once you break in, it will be regarded as a 'war'."

"Right now, the Guisha River Region has just begun to be reorganized. The Forgotten Land has not even finished carving the boundary, and the interior is even more empty and undefended."

"And Yeliu has been operating in Wuhuatu for 20 to 30 years. It's hard to guarantee that he has some trump cards that we don't have at the moment."

Ye Hanjun agreed:

"I don't want this to get involved in a territorial dispute."

"Perhaps, making us angry and starting a war is the other side's purpose."

"Why did Yeliu do this?"

Blood Moon Sirius took off some of his fierce aura and asked in confusion.

"I don't think he has the guts himself."

Ye Hanjun raised the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself secretly:

"When he reaches adulthood, his passive awakening authority is only D-level, so he will definitely be at the bottom of the family."

"It stands to reason that there is a high probability that he will fail the test."

"It just happened that he passed and became that part of the small probability."

"Whether you blame luck or strength, it doesn't matter."

"Twenty or thirty years later, it is impossible for him to advance to the 6th level. He will be in the middle and upper reaches of the 5th level, and it may also be in the lower reaches."

"If he dares to obstruct us so openly, someone must be protecting him from behind."

"What should I do?"

Blood Moon Sirius was very unhappy, "If he hadn't lived a few more years than His Highness, we would have shot him to death with our backhand."

"Such clowns dare to act arrogantly. Are you really afraid that His Highness will succeed in one day and then turn around and liquidate them all?"

"They just don't think I can make it."

Lord Yehan touched the hair on Blood Moon Sirius's neck and said, "Go back first. This place is not suitable for forced entry."

"But aren't you going to the Gravel Prison?"

Blood Moon Sirius was even more confused, "Your compatriots are there, and the situation doesn't seem to be good."

"According to the information from old man Wanming's investigation, this is the most convenient and fastest way."

"If we take a detour from other places, it will take a month or two just to travel."

"Old Wolf, I don't mind wasting all this time, but Your Highness, your time is so precious that there is no room for procrastination!"

"I know it well."

Ye Hanjun whispered, "Since Liuying has passed the trial, the biggest test has ended."

"Having those childhood experiences, she is by no means a pushy person. If she encounters danger or trouble, if she can't solve it on her own, she will find ways to tolerate it - I fully believe this."

"What does His Highness mean..."

Wan Ming's breathing suddenly became heavy, as if he was surprised.

"You guessed it right."

"Since we can't break through forcefully, we will take the most orthodox way and leave him speechless!"

Ye Hanjun glanced at the housekeeper coldly, saw a smile on his face, and drove the Blood Moon Sirius to leave.

……

"Forget the Land, how long will it take to carve out the border?"

In the border area, Ye Hanjun asked.

"Sir, the territory is too big."

"With my power, it will take at least a year to establish the most basic line of defense."

Wangtu didn't raise his head, still squatting on the ground and casting spells.

"I understand. If you have any needs, please ask."

Lord Yehan nodded, and the Blood Moon Sirius roared wildly, rushed into the border, and returned to the Guixi River area again.

"Where's the nanny? Where are you fooling around again?"

"Your Highness! I'm here! Your Highness!"

A fat ball with alternating black and white rumbled over.

"Your Highness, my breasts are engorged. I just applied hot compress to relieve it. I'm not lazy!"

"The little one will produce milk every day according to your instructions, and then irrigate the land."

"No, look at it. In just ten days, the land I irrigated has grown more than ten heads of vegetation!"

The Milk Demon, the Milk Demon, proudly introduced his masterpiece.

Ye Hanjun looked at the land on both sides. One side could only be described as "luxurious".

Countless monsters and monsters have grown on the other side, including giant skeletal trees, cold-blooded vines, magic-absorbing grass, evil-drunk flowers... everything.

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

"You need to keep up with nutrition these days, don't be depleted. My requirement is long-term irrigation, not a short-term burst of milk."

"Your Highness, you actually care about me so much. I'm so touched! Wow!"

The milk demon came closer and wanted to stick.

Blood Moon Sirius kicked it and ran away in disgust.

"Master Han, Master Han, shall I continue planting trees?"

Yu Ruxin didn't like going out the most, but as a Taoist, her life was as important as Ye Hanjun, so sometimes she had to do business.

Returning to the territory, she breathed a long sigh of relief and picked up the hammer, as if she was resurrected with full blood and vitality.

"me and you togather."

"Guagua, Goose Fairy, Huazhu... you all come to help!"

"Quack~~~"

Guagua flew over on the Six-Rank Lotus Platform, looking eager to try, obviously ready to play.

Hua Zhu said nothing, cleaning up the mud and rotten leaves with hurricane force, and then planted colorful seeds one after another.

"Master of Humanity, I have to train my little brother, so I don't have time to help you do rough work!"

The Great Goose was hovering above his head, making a perfunctory speech and planning to run away.

Ye Hanjun glanced at it and said relaxedly and casually:

"Okay, go and do your work."

"You can only train birds at the Life Wheel level now. Those babies of annihilation are all locked in cages. Even if they go, they won't take you seriously."

"As for me, I have now decided to help Yu Ruxin and advance to the fifth rank in one go."

"If you come to help, you can increase the speed by one point."

"It's okay if you don't come. At most, the efficiency is a bit low, so it's harmless."

"Huh? Are you ready to pass the test? You should have told me earlier!"

The Goose Fairy, who had not gone far, circled half a circle and flew back immediately.

It hit the ground with a bang, plowed the ground with its iron wings, and worked harder:

"Isn't it just farming? For the future of Hallownest, what does this mean?"

"But...Human Beloved Master, when can Lao Sha come to the Dark Lantern Abyss?"

"And the sixth one. There were too many people before, so it was inconvenient to carry the wild spirits that had not yet been bound to a contract. You said you would send someone to pick them up. How long will it take to pick them up?"

"Three years to build, and an average of five years."

Ye Hanjun thought for a while and replied.

"so long?"

The Goose Immortal was stunned and waved his wings:

"Forget it, I, the eldest brother, can still remember it. That's loyalty enough."

"When it comes, this great immortal will definitely come to the womb of annihilation. When the time comes, serving him delicious food and drinks will also be considered as fulfilling his friendship as a landlord!"

While chanting, the Great Goose hummed and worked.

The Blood Moon Sirius was not idle either. With a casual pull of its claws, the rocky ground was cut open like tofu.

What's even more outrageous is the Abyss Demonic Insect. This guy is not very understanding of human nature, but with its innate ability to burrow into the ground, there is no beast in the Guixi River Valley that is better than it.

"Smash the turtle! Smash the turtle!"

On the edge of the blue-black river, a group of demi-humans carrying turtle shells worked hard to dig up stones and plant the seeds of the Black Demon Lotus.

"Crash! Crash!"

Under the river, a group of half-rotten mermaids swam around.

Sometimes they catch some fish and shrimp to eat, sometimes they collect the bloody corpses and drag them to the ground, which is a good fertilizer.

The Guixi River Basin is a new and lively scene, which has changed from the desolation and desolation of the past. (End of chapter)
