Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

With the sun high in the sky, inside the Yun Kingdom's palace, Zhou Yan held a brush in one hand, dipped it in the blood of a demon beast, and drew patterns on a talisman made from the beast's hide.

Suddenly, Zhou Yan stopped moving, and the talisman immediately turned into a ball of flame and burned to ashes.

It's still a bit of a stretch.

Looking at the talisman paper that had turned into ashes, he shook his head, but he didn't feel much regret.

In just half a day, you've mastered most of the talismans in the "Five Elements Talismans," which is already quite impressive. There's no need to push yourself too hard.

At that moment, the jade tablet suddenly moved, and a message was transmitted.

Zhou Yan took it out, confidently read through its contents, then turned and disappeared from the hall.

Inside the royal palace, in another palace, Yunhai was handling state affairs when Zhou Yan suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty!" he exclaimed in surprise.

"Go and summon Batu and the others; I have important matters to discuss."

Zhou Yan said calmly, then closed his eyes.

"Yes." Yunhai didn't dare to delay and immediately walked down.

After an incense stick had burned, footsteps sounded outside the hall. Zhou Yan then opened his eyes and saw Yun Hai leading Batu and the others in.

"Your Majesty, they've all arrived," Yunhai said, bowing his head.

"Um."

Zhou Yan nodded, glanced at Yun Hai, and then squeezed out a drop of essence blood that floated in front of him.

"I see your injuries haven't healed yet. This is a drop of my essence blood. After you refine it, it will be enough to restore your health."

Feeling the immense power of the essence blood in the cloud sea, the cloud sea was excited and quickly pulled it over, swallowed it, and began to refine it.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan smiled faintly.

A drop of essence blood is nothing important to him, but he does want to see how much of his power Yunhai can withstand.

Zhou Yan told him to squat down and refine the essence blood, then looked at Batu and the others.

"Take a look for yourselves."

As he spoke, he opened a projection, which was sent by Zi Huan via a jade tablet.

Everyone crowded around, craning their necks.

On an altar, Zi Huan, holding a steel whip, chanted in unison, "Defeat the wicked, overthrow the tyrannical Qin!"

Below were tens of thousands of cultivators, each with a solemn expression and a wild look in their eyes.

He was also shouting.

What's even more astonishing is that, at a glance, none of these people are Qi Refining cultivators; they are all Foundation Establishment cultivators with Purple Mansions in their cultivation.

"What... what is the Purple Cloud Kingdom trying to do?"

After watching the projection, Zhao Ji licked his dry lips and muttered to himself listlessly.

Batu, however, was filled with excitement. Chaos was good; only in chaos could he have the chance to devour everything.

The Bashe clan is naturally skilled in the art of devouring. Staying with Zhou Yan and not letting him eat has been driving him crazy.

"The Xiang Kingdom is tyrannical, slaughtering other kingdoms and has aroused public outrage."

Zhou Yan put away the jade token and looked at the group expressionlessly.

"Now that things have come to this, the Ziyun Kingdom has joined forces with other countries to rise up in rebellion, and the Yun Kingdom is no exception."

"Yunhai, Zhao Ji, heed my command!"

"Your Majesty, I am here!"

Yunhai opened his eyes and said solemnly along with Zhao Ji.

"You two will lead the cultivators of the country to the Frost and Snow Pavilion and the various kingdoms to hold an alliance meeting."

"yes!"

"yes!"

Zhou Yan then looked at Yun Luohe and Xuan Yi.

"Yun Luoxuanyi, you two will stay behind to guard Yun Kingdom and prevent Xiang Kingdom from launching a surprise attack."

Having said that, he squeezed out two drops of essence blood and sent them flying to Yun Luo's front.

"These are two drops of my essence blood. If you encounter a powerful enemy that you cannot defeat, you can swallow one drop to obtain a bit of my power, which will be enough for you to deal with them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A look of joy appeared on Yunluo's face. He immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the two drops of essence blood, storing them away.

Xuan Yi nodded slightly to the side.

After saying that, he looked at Batu and said, "Batu, you will come with me to the Kingdom of Ziyun this time."

"Understood." Batu licked his lips, his eyes full of excitement.

"There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately."

After making the arrangements, Zhou Yan immediately summoned the top-grade magic weapon, the Spirit Sword Boat.

This magical artifact combines the functions of carrying people and attacking, which is quite impressive.

The spirit sword boat flew out and transformed into a sword-shaped flying boat about five zhang long. Zhou Yan immediately sat inside, and Batu followed him.

Immediately afterward, with a thought, the Spirit Sword Boat transformed into a streak of light, flying into the sky and speeding towards the Purple Cloud Kingdom.

…………

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Zhou Yan slowly opened his eyes on the Spirit Sword Boat.

Below, a human kingdom slowly emerged before our eyes.

After maneuvering the spirit sword boat to land at the border, Zhou Yan put it away and then transformed into a two-meter-tall figure.

He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and wore a black robe.

"Let's go."

He spoke slowly, then led Batu toward the border.

"Who goes there?"

Before the border guard could even get a clear look at the two men, a jade tablet appeared before his eyes.

When he turned around again and looked towards the inside of the pass, he found nothing.

"This Purple Cloud Kingdom is indeed prosperous."

As Batu hurried along, he talked as he walked, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Is your country, Pakistan, inferior to this?"

Zhou Yan walked along, glanced at him, and said.

"No, that's not it." Batu shook his head.

"The Kingdom of Ba was indeed much more prosperous than here, but I was just a descendant of a collateral branch, and my experience of the world was limited. Besides, the Kingdom of Ba was destroyed not long after I was born."

"I've never even seen the capital of the Kingdom of Ba."

As he spoke, a hint of regret crept into his voice.

Zhou Yan didn't say anything more, but led him forward quickly.

The two demons stopped walking after noon.

Ahead, a magnificent city stood on the ground, its walls over thirty feet high, engraved with array patterns. Soldiers constantly walked back and forth on the city walls, patrolling the surroundings.

Zhou Yan walked over with Batu.

"Gentlemen, do you have any proof?"

The general guarding the gate saw Zhou Yan and Batu trying to cut in line, so he quickly stepped forward to ask them what was wrong.

Zhou Yan took out the jade pendant and waved it in front of him.

The garrison commander was immediately startled, and then said respectfully.

"Please follow me, gentlemen."

Having said that, he handed over the responsibility to the adjutant beside him and personally led Zhou Yan and the other two toward the city.

The streets were bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, with various shops, pharmacies, weapon forging workshops, talisman schools, and Qi cultivation cultivators walking back and forth on both sides.

A scene of bustling prosperity.

"Your Ziyun Kingdom is quite prosperous."

Looking around, Zhou Yan sighed with emotion.

This was the first time he had ever witnessed such a grand spectacle since he came into this world.

"Of course, under the leadership of the Grand Preceptor, our Ziyun Kingdom has been thriving in recent years."

When Zhou Yan asked him a question, the garrison commander immediately raised his head, looking smug, and his words were full of admiration for Zi Huan.

"Is the Imperial Preceptor Zi Huan very powerful?"

Hearing the other person's tone, Zhou Yan asked in surprise.

Judging from the other party's previous actions, he thought the other party was an ambitious person, but he didn't expect that the other party had such a high reputation in Ziyun Kingdom.
