Chapter 10 Strange Phenomena in the Meteorite Mountains
a few days later.
Liangzhou, Shuoyang City.
In the study, Ying Chen had, through the previous assassination attempt, brought the Liangzhou army under his control. Combined with the White Horse Cavalry and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he now commanded an army of 700,000...
However, there was one place where the army was not under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, namely Zhenman Pass, a key border town between the Great Qin and the Blood Barbarian Dynasty.
Because this is the front line against the Zhenman Dynasty, an army of over a million is stationed here, with the lowest level being Qi Refining Stage 7 and tens of thousands at the Foundation Establishment stage...
The army at Zhenman Pass was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and had nothing to do with Liangzhou.
"Lu Bing!"
Ying Chen called out softly.
Lu Bing then appeared in the study.
"Your Highness!"
"Has the commander of Zhenman Pass found out whose people they are?"
Ying Chen sat in the chair and asked.
“Your Highness! Commander Chen Cong of Zhenman Pass comes from the Chen family. Since the reign of Emperor Taizu, the Chen family has been stationed at Zhenman Pass for generations, almost regarding guarding Zhenman Pass as their family's mission. They rarely interfere in court affairs, so they do not belong to any power in the court…”
Lu Bing said respectfully.
After listening to Lu Bing's words, Ying Chen nodded slightly, feeling a sense of respect for Chen Cong and the Chen family. To endure the poverty of Liangzhou and guard Zhenman Pass for generations—such perseverance was beyond the reach of ordinary people...
"Then let's leave them alone for now. By the way, has the Dark Pavilion made any moves recently?"
Ying Chen spoke up.
"The Dark Pavilion has recently increased the bounty on you. In the past few days, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has dealt with many assassins who infiltrated Liangzhou, and their cultivation levels are getting stronger and stronger..."
Lu Bing said with a solemn expression.
"Have you found the location of the headquarters of the secret compartment in Qin?"
Ying Chen said in a deep voice.
"The headquarters of the Great Qin Dark Pavilion is located in a secretive area, and there is no news about it yet, but some branches have been located..."
Lu Bing said respectfully.
Ying Chen frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Since that's the case, let's eliminate these branches first! Consider it collecting some interest..."
"Continue to investigate the location of the Dark Pavilion headquarters. Report back immediately if you have any information!"
"Here!"
After bowing respectfully, Lu Bing left the study to complete the task assigned by Ying Chen.
"Your Highness, are you troubled by matters concerning the Dark Pavilion?"
Not long after Lu Bing left, Guo Jia walked in, smiling broadly.
Ying Chen nodded, a solemn expression on his face.
"This secret chamber is like a sword hanging over my head, ready to fall at any moment. I am truly uneasy about it..."
"This matter is both difficult and easy to resolve; it all depends on Your Highness's choice..."
Guo Jia smiled slightly and spoke.
"Oh? Fengxiao has a way?"
Ying Chen showed a hint of interest and asked.
Guo Jia nodded slightly and said, "Since we can't deal with the Dark Pavilion for the time being, why not just take care of the person who issued the bounty?"
"Have we dealt with the person who posted the bounty?"
Ying Chen's eyes lit up slightly. That's right, as long as the person who issued the bounty is dealt with, the Dark Pavilion will have no employer and naturally won't issue any more bounties for his assassination. As for the Dark Pavilion, it's not too late to eliminate them when we become stronger...
If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised it...
"Fengxiao, you've truly awakened me from my dream!"
Ying Chen stood up, walked up to Guo Jia, patted him on the shoulder, and said.
"Then who do you think would be suitable to send?"
Ying Chen asked.
Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Professional matters should be left to professionals. Commander Lu Bing is very suitable for this..."
Then, Ying Chen called Lu Bing back, who had just left, and told him about his and Guo Jia's decision, instructing him to go to the capital of Qin to assassinate the Second Prince, Ying Luo...
.........
Meteor Mountain Range.
This is the largest mountain range in Liangzhou, stretching hundreds of miles from north to south, and countless monsters roam within it...
In a secluded location within the Meteorite Mountains, there lies a massive military camp. Within, warhorses neigh, battle cries shake the heavens, and a thick, malevolent aura permeates the air...
Upon sensing this malevolent aura, all the demonic beasts within a radius of several miles fled in terror, fearing that they would be corrupted by it and lose their minds...
Inside the military camp.
Zhao Yun sat in the main tent, handling the military affairs of the White Horse Cavalry.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and a member of the White Horse Cavalry entered, bowed respectfully, and said, "General, the brothers on patrol have discovered something..."
Zhao Yun raised his head, glanced at the White Horse Cavalry soldier, and said, "What's going on?"
The soldier dared not delay and quickly reported what he had discovered.
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he gave a soft "hmm".
"Take me to see this!"
Zhao Yun got up and walked outside.
Led by the soldiers, they arrived at a valley where the surrounding vegetation was withered and there wasn't even a single monster.
"General, this is the place!"
The soldier spoke up.
Zhao Yun nodded and began to survey his surroundings.
His consciousness left his body, carefully sensing the unique characteristics of this area...
"Strange, the spiritual energy here is much stronger than in other places, but why are all the plants withered and there are no living beings here..."
Zhao Yun asked in confusion.
"General, we found many monster skeletons in the valley. We believe that there should have been monsters here, but for some unknown reason, they all died, just like these plants..."
At this moment, the White Horse Cavalry centurion, who had noticed the unusual situation, spoke up.
Zhao Yun frowned slightly, sensing something unusual.
"Seal off this place and forbid anyone from approaching. I will go and report this to His Highness..."
Zhao Yun gave instructions to the White Horse Cavalry around him.
"Here!"
The White Horse Cavalry dared not be negligent and quickly agreed.
Then, Zhao Yun leaped into the air and sped off towards Shuoyang City.
With his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he arrived in Shuoyang City in no time, and then headed directly towards the Liang King's Mansion.
"Your Highness, General Zhao Yun requests an audience!"
A servant led Zhao Yun to the study and respectfully said...
"Come in!"
Ying Chen's voice came from inside the room.
Zhao Yun pushed open the door and entered.
"This humble general, Zhao Yun, greets Your Highness!"
Zhao Yun bowed respectfully.
"Zilong, no need for formalities! What brings you to see me?"
Ying Chen waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, this humble general has come here today..."
Zhao Yun recounted in detail what he had discovered within the Meteorite Mountains to Ying Chen.
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Ying Chen frowned slightly, having the same reaction as Zhao Yun.
