At the entrance of the Thousand Autumn Hall, Zhu Youniang stuck her head out while hanging upside down. Her beautiful hair fluttered in the wind as she sized up Feng Xia curiously in the hall.

“He just left.” Feng Xia nodded slightly and smiled. “It’s a pity that he’s not willing to stay for a while longer. Otherwise, I could get another 2,000 pounds of paper…”

Even the storerooms of the Thousand Autumn Valley did not contain 2,000 pounds of paper at the moment.

However, it did not matter. How could it be inconvenient for divine beings to make paper?

Whatever Mo Zi’an could do, Feng Xia would be able to do even more.

Unfortunately, Mo Zi’an did not manage to make it to the end.

He wrote madly for six consecutive days and nights. Feng Xia also asked him all kinds of tricky questions, especially things that he had never heard of. It completely exhausted his wisdom and mental strength.

Therefore, Mo Zi’an chose to run off in a panic without any hesitation. No matter how much Feng Xia tried to persuade him to stay, it was useless.

“What are you still worried about, Xia?”

Seeing that Feng Xia was still frowning, Zhu Youniang disappeared from where she was with a swish. In the next second, she appeared right above Feng Xia’s head and stared at him without moving.

Feng Xia was silent for a moment before he suddenly smiled and said, “I don’t know what I’m worried about either. Perhaps it’s just my imagination. I just have this feeling that His Majesty… won’t give up so easily.”

“Give up on what?” The girl tilted her head.

As she did this, her black hair immediately dropped over and brushed past Feng Xia’s face, sliding down his shoulder and making his collarbone itch slightly.

“Give up the benefits of the Thousand Autumn Valley so easily.”

“But, from what Mo Zi’an says, it seems to make sense?”

Feng Xia deliberated for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Everything he says makes sense. This is the biggest problem! The imperial court has been plotting to take the Thousand Autumn Valley for at least a few hundred years. If they give up now, won’t those hundreds of years of hard work be wasted overnight?”

Long before the current emperor ascended the throne, the suppression and division of the Thousand Autumn Valley had already begun. That was why Feng Xia made a bold guess…

The current Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom was only the successor of a plan, not its creator.

It was a plan that had lasted for hundreds of years. Countless people had participated in it during this period. The manpower and resources consumed were extremely shocking. How could it be given up so easily?

“Apart from that…” Feng Xia rubbed his temples and settled down before he said, “They say that the land within the radius of a thousand miles of the Thousand Autumn Valley belongs to the Thousand Autumn Valley. But judging from Mo Zi’an’s attitude, rather than feeling the pain of giving up so much, they seem to be more anxious about something.”

“Eh? But didn’t that fellow say that there are many sects and factions on Mount Canglan? That if you can integrate them all, it will be good news for the imperial court?”

“However, think about the strength displayed by the imperial court previously. Apart from the Thousand Autumn Valley with the old Sword King, is it really that difficult… to integrate the other sects?”

Feng Xia muttered softly again, as if he was asking Zhu Youniang, but also as if he was questioning himself.

In fact, Mo Yuanlong did not even need to make a move personally. They only needed a few dukes to suppress all resistance. So why did the iImperial court not do that?

Feng Xia already could make a vague guess.

Perhaps there were other fatal threats hidden deeper within Mount Canglan. Even the imperial court had to be careful to avoid triggering an even greater crisis!

“Then can’t you just reject them, Xia?” Zhu Youniang thought about it and replied.

“The thing is I can’t reject them.”

Feng Xia narrowed his eyes and shook his head with a bitter smile. “There are all kinds of precious treasures and minerals buried underground within a radius of a thousand miles, and there are also many precious spiritual plants growing around. If the Thousand Autumn Valley wants to develop and grow, it definitely can’t do without a huge amount of resources.”

This was also the main reason why Feng Xia agreed in the end.

When he considered the potential hidden dangers, he really wanted to reject. However, there were too many benefits!

“No matter what, development is the most important thing. If the Thousand Autumn Valley becomes strong enough, with Primal Core cultivators everywhere and numerous Dao Platform cultivators, would we still need to worry about those threats?”

“Then…”

Zhu Youniang nodded as if she understood what he said. Suddenly, she jumped down from midair and landed lightly in Feng Xia’s arms. She exhaled lightly and whispered into his ear, “Xia, if you can’t deal with it, I can just kill you. That way, you won’t feel any pain.”

Feng Xia said nothing. “…”

…

“How is it? How have you been these past few days?”

After sleeping in the carriage for a few hours and meditating for a long time, Mo Zi’an finally opened his eyes and looked at Qing Yue. “With your Heavenly Dragon Spirit Eyes… you should have seen a great deal, right?”

“Oh… of course!”

For some reason, Qing Yue’s voice trembled as he replied in a slightly flustered manner, “The Thousand Autumn Valley… is indeed as recorded in that book. There are all kinds of unbelievable aspects, but there are also many obvious flaws. Whether they can join that plan in the end… it might still need to depend on His Majesty’s decision.”

At this point, Qing Yue suddenly paused and shook his head. “But before that, that existence on Mount Canglan would have woken up.”

Mo Zi’an’s expression was also a little strange as he sighed. “His Majesty is still His Majesty. He effortlessly sent the Thousand Autumn Valley into another abyss.”

“It’s just such a pity about Mo Yuanlong. No matter what, he was still a Primal Core cultivator. He died just like that.” Qing Yue shook his head in pity.

“Just a fake Primal Core. It doesn’t matter if he’s dead.”

Mo Zi’an smiled and shook his head. He did not show much respect for the former number one expert in Xuanwu Kingdom. “In my opinion, perhaps His Majesty wants to see if the Thousand Autumn Valley can survive this tribulation. Only then will they be qualified to join in. If they’re not, they will be completely eliminated.”

The two of them looked at each other and could see each other’s mirth.

Those sects were never the focus of the threat on Mount Canglan!

“In the past, every ten years, the imperial court would deal with it in secret. But this time, it’s the Thousand Autumn Valley’s turn… to face the lords of Mount Canglan.”

…

Roar—

In the depths of Mount Canglan, a dull roar suddenly sounded, waking up countless living beings. Immediately, a restless atmosphere gradually spread in the forest.

After an unknown period of time, the tall trees swayed and suddenly rose from the ground. They began to move forward slowly.

It was a terrifying shadow that was filled with oppression. Just one look was enough to make one’s heart stop and forget to breathe!

“Roar…”

The behemoth slowly walked forward.

At a certain moment, it suddenly let out a furious roar.

“Who destroyed my nest—”
