The road is vague

Chapter 416 Flame Sheep Valley

As Li Mo gradually gained a better understanding of the situation in the Qingqiu Mountains, Elder Xuan Sha of Linghu City, Su Rui, also brought two people to the camp of Lin, the Rabbit-Man.

"Senior Brother Li!!"

The newcomer, dressed in flowing white robes, was none other than Zhou Zheng, whom we hadn't seen for many years!
"Junior Brother Zhou!"

Li Mo had not seen his fellow disciples for many years. Upon seeing Zhou Zheng, he couldn't help but feel sad. Zhou Zheng was about to rush forward in surprise, but was stopped by the fox girl beside him, who looked at Li Mo with a wary expression.

Zhou Zheng quickly waved his hand.

"I have carefully verified that this is indeed my Senior Brother Li!"

Say it.

He strode forward and gave Li Mo a bear hug, but then felt it was a bit inappropriate, so he quickly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed.

However, compared to the image of a young and promising talent that Li Mo had in mind, Zhou Zheng was now slightly overweight, with a simple and honest demeanor, and his eyes revealed an unbelievable surprise when he looked at Li Mo.

"Elder Su of Windfox City said that the envoy from the Great Qian Kingdom had arrived here, claiming to be Li Mo. I found it hard to believe, fearing that it was the Peacock Clan pulling the strings behind the scenes again. I never expected that it really was you!"

"You've suffered here all these years. Before you left, Master Danqing specifically instructed me to bring you back with me. Oh, and what about my two senior brothers?"

Li Mo had already discerned Zhou Zheng's mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

Back then, the Lingmu Sect and the Nine Fox Clan each exchanged three people, while the other two were senior brothers from the sect. Li Mo had only heard about it but had not seen them.

As for the three fox girls, they were Xiangxiang, Huami, and Yinmiao. After the internal strife within the sect, only the bodies of Huami and Yinmiao were found, while Xiangxiang's whereabouts remained unknown.

Combining this with the information provided by the Bloodthirsty War Bear King of the War Bear Clan, the leader of the Nine-Tailed Organization had an opportunity in the Great Qian Kingdom, becoming Su Ba from Su Qi, and had already combined the eight fox clan talents into one. Li Mo guessed that Xiang Xiang was likely an avatar or servant of this secret organization leader.

While Li Mo was lost in thought, Zhou Zheng sighed.

"After the Peacock Clan learned of our True Spirit Eye Divine Power, they frequently came to try to assassinate us. Both of my senior brothers have already fallen victim to the Peacock Clan's poisonous hands."

From Zhou Zheng's words, Li Mo gradually came to understand that the Spirit Eye Sect's True Spirit Eye and the Peacock Clan's personality theft were mutually restraining.

Just like how Li Mo failed to see through the personality stolen by Peacock Saint Wen Aoxing.

In terms of illusion concealment and illusion breaking alone, Wen Aoxing is obviously stronger than him. Zhou Zheng, due to his Fengqing Body, has a very high level of ability to break illusions, and thus has become a treasure of Silver Fox City. Over the years, he has held a high position in Silver Fox City, and this time he even had a fox-woman chieftain guarding him.

"Really? That's a real shame."

Li Mo sighed.

However, Zhou Zheng became puzzled.

"You just said that the sect leader, Master Danqing, insisted on taking me back. What does that mean? Isn't the sect leader's Daoist title Master Qingling?"

Because Zhou Zheng left Lingmu Sect too early, although he escaped the great calamity of the internal war within Lingmu Sect, he also lost all news of what happened afterward.

Li Mo then told Zhou Zheng in detail about the changes in Lingmu Sect over the years, as well as the intelligence about the war between the Great Qian Kingdom and the Lu Kingdom in the Southern Barbarian Lands. At the same time, he asked Zhou Zheng about his wish to establish a stable settlement around Qingqiu Mountain.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Flaming Sheep Valley!"

He said with excitement, "About three hundred miles east of Silver Fox City in Qingqiu Mountain, there is a valley called Yan Yang Valley. Nearby there is an active volcano and a hot spring. A group of Yan Yang sheep have occupied this place. The leader of the Yan Yang sheep has reached the level of a late-stage demon king, which is very troublesome. Therefore, although several small clans nearby are all eyeing that place, they have never made a move."

"Yan Yang Valley?"

Li Mo opened the map, marked it, and then expressed his gratitude to Zhou Zheng.

a few days later.

Li Mo left the rabbit people's temporary encampment again. He first went to Silver Fox City, met with Queen Silver Eyes and Queen Silver Bell, expressed his deep condolences for the deaths of Yin Miao and Hua Mi, and expressed the Great Qian Kingdom's willingness to establish diplomatic relations.

“Silver Wonder”.

The two queens did not express much grief over the death of Nectar.

However, Eun-myo is a descendant of royalty and has some connection with both queens, so both expressed their grief and anger.

"If you want to take Zhou Zheng away, you need to give me an explanation!"

The Silver-Eyed Queen said coldly.

This is a cold-faced fox woman with silver-white eyes, representing that the silver fox clan's talent for enlightening wisdom through pupil techniques has reached its peak.

Li Mo seemed to be deep in thought, and decided to voice his guess.

“I once visited the Needle Leaf Ridge and had some interaction with the Bloodthirsty War Bear King. I heard from it that Su Qi, the leader of the Nine-Tailed Organization, had some fortuitous encounters in the Great Qian Kingdom a few years ago and had cultivated his Nine-Tailed Spirit Body to the eighth tail, becoming known as Su Ba. So I was thinking... could that so-called Xiang Xiang be an avatar or servant of this Su Ba?”

Upon hearing this, the Silver-Eyed Queen was stunned and seemed to be deep in thought.

Queen Silverbell, on the other hand, was relatively more amiable, with a giant silver wolf dozing beside her.

"Your Great Qian Kingdom and the Lu Kingdom have been at war in the southern barbarian lands for more than forty years. I heard that even the four kingdoms in the Gobi Desert have started fighting again, which will most likely turn into a new century-long war. Choosing to establish diplomatic relations with us at this time is probably more because you need our help. This matter may not even be successful."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo smiled confidently.

"I believe that the Spirit Fox Ancestor of your noble family must be a person of great wisdom. The world has reached a point where a new era must begin. It is a time of great contention, and no one can escape it! The unification of the Central Plains is inevitable, and the internal strife among the Hundred Clans of the Misty Lands is nothing but a passing cloud compared to the unification of the Central Plains. When the new era of the Mountain and Sea Realm arrives, where will the Nine Fox Clan go? With the wisdom of the Spirit Fox Ancestor, he will surely make a wise choice."

Queen Silver Eyes and Queen Silver Bell were both slightly startled upon hearing this. As expected of envoys from the Great Qian Kingdom, they had actually seen this far ahead.

As the queens of Silver Fox City of the Nine Fox Clan of Qingqiu Mountain, they were only thinking about the current conflict between their sworn enemies. Although they had heard people talk about the so-called great struggle and the impending change of the era of the Mountain and Sea Realm, they had never really thought about it.

finally.

The two queens seemed to be persuaded by Li Mo and decided to take him to meet the Spirit Fox Ancestor.

This operation is top secret.

Li Mo, dressed in the official robes of a sixth-rank centurion of the Great Qian Kingdom, met with the Nine Fox Clan's Spirit Transformation Ancestor as an envoy of the Qian Yuan Holy Lord.

What exactly the two discussed remains unknown to outsiders.

Even the two queens of Silver Fox City could only wait quietly outside the door.

As Li Mo spent more and more time in the main hall, Queen Silver Eyes and Queen Silver Bell were both quite surprised. Others might not know, but the two of them knew very well that this ancestor's lifespan was running out, his energy was waning, and he spent most of his time meditating to conserve his energy. He rarely even appeared at important clan events.

Now that he has met with the Qian Kingdom envoy alone for so long, it seems that the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides is most likely to be successful.

At this time.

The High Priestess of the Misty Realm approached from afar and was slightly surprised to see the two queens standing in front of and behind the door.

"Your Majesties, is the Ancestor resting?"

The High Priestess holds a revered position and is the messenger of the Nine-Tailed Fox's revelation in the human world. She had just received a revelation and was determined to do everything in her power to help the Great Qian Envoy, which is why she rushed over.

"Greetings, High Priestess. The Ancestor is speaking with the Great Qian Envoy."

Upon hearing this, the High Priest was immediately startled and hurriedly reported it as a divine revelation. He then entered the main hall. Queen Silver Eyes and Queen Silver Bell exchanged a glance, vaguely sensing that this matter was not simple.

Another incense stick later.

A call came from inside the main hall.

"Silver Eyes, Silver Bell, come in."

Only the Spirit Fox Ancestor could address the two queens in such a way.

The moment the Silver-Eyed Queen stepped into the hall, she felt enveloped by an indescribable aura, filled with a sublime will. It seemed that the order they held was merely a key, and how to use this key was a secret of a higher level.

"Silver Eyes pays respects to the Ancestor and wishes the Ancestor a long and prosperous life."

"Silver Bell pays respects to the Ancestor, wishing the Ancestor endless blessings."

A graceful old woman, with a kind expression on her face, looked down at the two people on the ground from her warm bed.

"Everyone, get up."

The Spirit Fox Ancestor chuckled softly.

"I had a very pleasant conversation with this young friend Li Mo from the Great Qian Kingdom, and I have already agreed to the Great Qian court's request to establish diplomatic relations. The Great Qian Kingdom will provide funding and technology to build a teleportation array that connects the two places, while our Nine Fox Clan will provide manpower and land to maintain the stability of the forces surrounding the teleportation array. This envoy Li Mo has already chosen the location for building the teleportation array, which is Yan Yang Valley, not far from your Silver Fox City. Your Silver Fox City, please cooperate."

"Yes."

The two queens nodded in response.

half a month later.

Li Mo led the jubilant rabbit people, laughing and chatting all the way to Yan Yang Valley.

After wandering and migrating for so long, the rabbits are finally going to have their own territory.

This territory is nominally under the protection of the Nine Fox Clan, so there is no need to worry about its safety. It is believed that in a short time, this group of rabbit people can use this as a foundation to develop into a small tribe and thus escape the crisis of being wiped out at any time.

"Young master, you are so kind!"

Qianqian has been hailed as a hero by the rabbit people, and she naturally knows that all of this is because she served Li Mo and maintained an extremely good relationship with him. She is determined to maintain this good relationship forever.

Li Mo gave a knowing smile.

"Don't be so happy yet. Our protection can only last for a while. If the Rabbit People want to truly continue their lineage, you must rely on yourselves."

"Hehe, Qianqian understands!"

However, when they arrived at Yan Yang Valley, the rabbit people were all stunned.

Although they were somewhat prepared, they were still speechless when they actually saw the thousands of fire sheep here, each one tall and mighty, with flames shooting from their nostrils.

Li Mo refused the help from the Silver Fox City army.

He thought of the Thunder Cat Tribe, who were skilled at taming thunderbirds. Since the Demon Cat Clan was able to establish the Thunder Cat Tribe by taming thunderbirds, could the Jade Rabbit Clan also establish the Flame Rabbit Tribe by taming these Flame Sheep?
Just as the many rabbit-people were in a daze, Li Mo stepped forward and raised his arms in a shout.

"I hereby declare that from this day forward, this place shall be the territory of the Flame Rabbit Tribe. Only rabbit-people who have tamed a Flame Sheep can become warriors of the Flame Rabbit Tribe. We will spend ten years building a city of miracles here!"

"it is good!"

The slogans were inspiring, and the rabbits regained their confidence and shouted them out loud.
