Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 283 Military Command at Leshan
In Leshan County, the people were filled with anxiety.

News of the fall of Qing Teng County has arrived, and more and more demons are beginning to gather at the border between Leshan County and Qing Teng County, making everyone feel uneasy.

If it weren't for the fact that the governor of Leshan Prefecture was a steadfast person who was unwilling to let Leshan Prefecture suffer from the calamity of the demons and did everything he could to organize a defense, the entire Leshan Prefecture would probably have been destroyed long ago. However, the general trend was such that no matter how much Leshan Prefecture struggled, it could not change the overall situation.

The reason why those demons have not yet truly invaded Leshan County is not because they are blocked by the defenses set up by Leshan County, but because there is still a lot of wealth to be plundered within Qing Teng County.

In Leshan County, those with discerning eyes have already seen that Leshan County cannot be defended.

The demons were powerful; even Qing Teng County was breached, let alone Le Shan County. In terms of strength, Le Shan County was no match for Qing Teng County, not to mention that it had been tricked before, and many cultivators had been fed the Jade Bone Vine.

Under these circumstances, more and more people are choosing to flee Leshan County.

Faced with this situation, the governor of Leshan County did not forcibly stop them, but kept a close eye on those cultivation families to prevent them from easily withdrawing. At the same time, he sent a request for help to Qingyuan County and Changfeng County, hoping to combine the strength of the three counties to jointly resist the demon race.

Of course, while seeking help from Qingyuan County and Changfeng County, the governor of Leshan County also sought help from the imperial court, but it was uncertain when a response would be received.

On Muyu Island, Jiang Chen, who had just emerged from seclusion, received a request for help from Leshan County. In fact, Qingyuan County and Changfeng County were now under his control, but under different names. Qingyuan County was under the Taiping Sect, and Changfeng County was under Yanqiu.

"It seems the Aoki family is really in big trouble; they actually let a demon come here like that."

In the living room, Jiang Chen frowned as he looked at the message sent by Wang Yuan.

Injured by him, Lady Qinghua was forced to take a desperate gamble and attempt to transform into a dragon. It is absolutely impossible for her to make a move now. His original intention was to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, letting the Qingmu family and Blackwater Dock entangle themselves, giving himself more time to cultivate himself and transform his potential into strength. In this way, when the time is right, he can wipe out all the troubles in one fell swoop.

However, no one expected that even with Lady Qinghua restrained by him, the Qingmu family would still lose so easily, allowing the demons to sweep through the entire Qingteng County so quickly.

It should be noted that the Aoki family has been operating in Qing Teng County for over three hundred years, making them a deeply rooted and powerful family. They have fought with Blackwater Dock countless times, with both sides experiencing victories and defeats. However, overall, the Aoki family has actually maintained a certain advantage, consistently keeping Blackwater Dock outside Qing Teng County and preventing them from setting foot in the territory of Nan Jing Kingdom.

But this time, the Aoki family really lost far too quickly.

"Something's fishy. Is the Aoki family intentionally preserving their strength, having other plans, and deliberately letting the demons run rampant? Or does Blackwater Dock have some hidden trump card that makes the Aoki family completely powerless?"

With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, Jiang Chen pondered all the possibilities.

"Any news from the Aoki family?"

Unable to arrive at a definitive answer, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Wang Yuan.

"Sect Master, Qing Teng County is currently in chaos, and no accurate news has been sent back. However, it is certain that the Qing Mu family has not been truly destroyed yet."

Meeting Jiang Chen's gaze, Wang Yuan recounted all the information he knew.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was thoughtful.

"Pass down the order to have each family organize manpower to support Leshan County and delay the demonic calamity within Leshan County as much as possible."

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Chen made a decision.

Hearing this, although he couldn't help feeling a little worried, Wang Yuan immediately bowed and agreed.

"You've already cultivated the divine intent of martial arts?"

After finishing his business, Jiang Chen inquired about Wang Yuan's cultivation, noticing a subtle change in him. Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Wang Yuan's face.

"Reporting to the sect master, after so much practice, I recently managed to comprehend the divine intent of martial arts with the help of the Heart Refining Stone."

As he spoke, Wang Yuan revealed his divine intent. This intent was not as fierce as Jiang Chen's killing intent back then, but it had a touch of ruthlessness, like a wolf, which made people uneasy. This was also a reflection of his style of doing things.

Although Wang Yuan always acted very respectfully in front of Jiang Chen, like an old steward, his behavior outside was extremely ruthless; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a vicious wolf.

Sensing this divine intent, Jiang Chen nodded.

Wang Yuan's physical talent wasn't actually that great; he was only able to advance in martial arts thanks to the help of demon skin and a lot of resources. However, his success in comprehending divine intent proved that he had some talent in this area.

In the current Taiping Sect, as long as you are willing to invest resources, it is not difficult to create a first-class martial artist. The truly rare grandmasters cannot comprehend their own divine will, and no matter how much resources are invested, it will be in vain. The Heart Refining Stone in the Taiping Sect can only play an auxiliary role in the end.

"Now that you have comprehended the divine will, this red fox pelt will be yours. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Speaking calmly and without any ripples, Jiang Chen presented the red fox pelt to Wang Yuan. This red fox pelt came from the Red Fox King and was already considered a rare find among demon pelts.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yuan was shocked. He had only wanted to find an opportunity to ask for an ordinary Qi Refining demon skin, but he did not expect Jiang Chen to directly bestow a red fox skin upon him.

"Thank you, Master."

With trembling hands, Wang Yuan caught the red fox pelt.

The wolf demon skin he had refined before was of very ordinary quality. Now, however, he was not afraid of the backlash from the wolf demon skin and could peel it off and replace it with red fox skin. Once he succeeded, his strength would definitely increase greatly.

As the power of the Taiping Sect grew, his cultivation level was no longer commensurate with his status. Although Jiang Chen was there, no one dared to say anything openly, but many people were still dissatisfied in secret.

Most importantly, he was well-informed and knew about Lao Huang's situation, which inevitably gave rise to some thoughts in his mind.

He originally wanted to follow Jiang Chen, work hard, gain some benefits, and place his hopes for immortality on his descendants, but now it seems that he himself may not be incapable of doing it.

"Red fox fur is good, but it is also quite troublesome to control it at will. You have to weigh the pros and cons yourself."

After giving this one piece of advice, Jiang Chen said no more.

Wang Yuan was an old friend who had always been very capable, and because of this, he didn't mind giving Wang Yuan some benefits, but whether Wang Yuan could keep them ultimately depended on Wang Yuan himself.

Seeing Jiang Chen's reaction, Wang Yuan understood immediately and withdrew. Jiang Chen had done him a great favor, and all he could do was to help Jiang Chen with his miscellaneous tasks so that Jiang Chen could concentrate on his cultivation.

After Wang Yuan left, Jiang Chen turned his attention to Qing Teng County.

"I wonder what hidden methods the demons have. I need to test them. However, since the Qingmu family has not truly fallen, it proves that although the demons are strong, their strength is limited. They are still at the early stage of the Dao Foundation stage, which is within my range."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and concealed himself.

This time, not only Qingyuan County will be affected, but Changfeng County will also be affected.
