Chapter 289 Just Wait And Wait, Everything Is Under Control!
Chou Rang recounted the situation he had investigated upon returning to the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion.
Upon hearing this, Lie Yao immediately stood up in excitement and volunteered, "Father, since the defense of Youzhou is so lax and there are no experts, why not let me take some men and horses? It would be a way for me to do something for you!"
Lie Yao understood clearly in his heart.
From the current situation, Youzhou was the easiest place to attack. According to the information from Chou Rang, the Golden Crow Territory didn't even have a single cultivator in the Void Fusion Realm. Lie Yao only needed to bring a few men with him to occupy it.
He had not yet achieved any significant accomplishments and urgently needed some military achievements to gain the trust of the soldiers. It wouldn't work in the long run to rely solely on the suppression of Lie Mang, the Zhen Nan Wang. Even if there was a chance to sit on the God's throne in the future, it wouldn't be secure.
Moreover, he had just recognized Lie Mang as his father and was eager to show himself.
Lie Mang glanced at Lie Yao and naturally understood his son's thoughts. He smiled and said, "It seems that the Green Union had eliminated most of the experts when they unified Youzhou. This has led to the current weakness in Youzhou's military strength. It's not easy to cultivate high-ranking cultivators overnight. This is good, so we don't have to go through much trouble. Yao'er, I will give you a thousand elite soldiers. You must take over the Golden Crow Territory within a month!"
Lie Yao excitedly cupped his hands and said, "I will obey Father's orders!"
The Empress Bi Hua, who was standing nearby, hesitated and said, "May I accompany the army?"
Both Lie Mang and Chou Rang frowned.
Lie Mang said in a deep voice, "Men fight wars, what business does a woman have interfering?"
Empress Bi Hua said, "Although Yao'er has participated in many fights since he was young, they were all arranged by His Majesty and he wouldn't be harmed. But now it's different. This is a real military expedition, and there is still some danger involved. I'm worried! Besides, you said before that after capturing Youzhou, the royal mansion will be temporarily relocated there. Why don't I go with Yao'er first..."
Lie Mang's gaze flickered as he glanced at Empress Bi Hua. He knew that this woman also had her own intentions, but he didn't expose it. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you can go with him first. When I finish dealing with things here, I will naturally lead the troops there. With the entire Youzhou as our backing, our actions will be more secure. As for safety... you don't have to worry. I will let Chou Rang accompany the army. Even if the leader of the Green Union comes, he won't be able to return!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Empress Bi Hua was overjoyed and bowed gracefully.
Watching the mother and son leave, Lie Mang licked his lips slightly and stared at Empress Bi Hua's enchanting figure as she swayed away. He chuckled softly, "You are already my woman, and even our son has accepted it. Yet, you still can't let go of your pride... It's okay. When I take over Youzhou and the situation stabilizes completely, I will slowly enjoy you. Bi Hua, you can't escape from my grasp in the end..."

The Sword Dao Conference held by the Returned to Origin Sect was a great success and brought many benefits to Qin Changqing.
His talent in cultivation was not outstanding in terms of Spiritual Roots, but in terms of comprehension of the Great Dao, he was not inferior. Now, with the help of the Innate Sword Embryo, Qin Changqing could be considered a genius in the field of swordsmanship.
As the Innate Sword Embryo continued to grow, Qin Changqing's understanding of swordsmanship would become faster and more acute. He might even be on par with Qin Qi Xian and Qin Qi Ming, these monstrous geniuses.
At this moment, in a quiet room, Qin Changqing opened his mouth slightly, and a translucent and crystal-clear small sword flew out, floating in front of him.
This crystal-clear small sword was precisely the Innate Sword Embryo. However, the small sword had not yet fully formed and was as fragile as a newborn baby.
Qin Changqing pondered for a moment, then flipped his right hand, and a golden Flying Sword appeared in his palm.
"Yiya yiya--"
The voice of Sword Embryo sounded in Qin Changqing's mind, and then Sword Embryo suddenly shot into the golden Flying Sword. There was no collision, and Sword Embryo actually merged directly into the golden Flying Sword.
At the same time, the golden Flying Sword floated in the air from Qin Changqing's palm, swaying a bit, as if adapting to its new body.
Qin Changqing smiled slightly.
This Innate Sword Embryo has not yet fully formed and is very fragile, but there is a way to control it, which is to merge Sword Embryo into the Flying Sword. In this way, the Flying Sword becomes like having a soul. It can not only act independently from its owner but also protect Sword Embryo with its own power.
However, in doing so, Sword Embryo will be limited by the power of the Flying Sword itself, and its own spirituality will be suppressed.
It's like a person wearing ill-fitting armor, unable to fully unleash their abilities.
Qin Changqing is not too concerned about this. From the current situation, he doesn't need to fight with others using his true body. The black-robed clone can handle things, and he has plenty of time and energy to nurture Sword Embryo using his own lifespan.
When this Innate Sword Embryo no longer needs to inhabit another sword body, that will be its true form.
"With your spirituality and talent, coupled with my endless lifespan to nurture you, it is inevitable that you will grow into an immortal sword in the future. You will follow me, Qin Changqing, to slay immortals and destroy Buddhas, live as long as the heavens, and be as humble as the earth. So, I will name you 'Qingtian'!"
Holding the Qingtian Sword, he slashed at the sun and moon!
Thus, the Qing Celestial Immortal Sword was named!
Suddenly, Qin Changqing's eyebrows twitched, and a communication talisman appeared in his palm. After listening attentively, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"...The third prince, Lie Yao, is coming to attack Youzhou? Interesting! Since he's here, he shouldn't leave!"
Duan Ming serves as the inspector in the Dream God Dynasty, and his tentacles have long spread throughout the entire dynasty for thousands of years. Even Lie Huan himself doesn't know how many hidden spies Duan Ming has.
Not only around Lie Huan and the ministers, but there are also people from Duan Ming around the Southern Prince.
Just now, Duan Ming sent a message that the Southern Prince has already sent Lie Yao to prepare to attack Youzhou, and the Self Union Heavenly Venerable Qiu Rang will accompany the army, so he should be prepared early.
Many people from Youzhou went to participate in the Sword Dao Conference, leaving various places understaffed, which made Qiu Rang and others mistakenly believe that the Changqing Alliance was a paper tiger and immediately launched an attack.
This made Qin Changqing somewhat unsure whether to laugh or cry. His unintentional actions actually gave the other party a wrong signal.
"Princess Bihua is accompanying them? I heard Concubine Luo Xiang mention this woman. She seems to be ranked third on the list of beauties in the Dream God Dynasty, and she is also a rare beauty in the world..."
Qin Changqing's lips slowly curled up.
At the same time, the black-robed clone in the Phoenix Nest Domain looked around and looked at Jilinglong beside him, saying lightly, "Linglong."
"Disciple is here!"
Jilinglong cupped her hands.
"I received news that the Dream God Dynasty in Yongzhou intends to send troops to attack the Golden Crow Domain, and there is a Self Union-level Heavenly Venerable among them. You will accompany me to take a look."
Jilinglong's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly said, "Yes!"
