The Violet Thunder Beast also laughed, "That's only natural. Your spiritual sense is too weak, your soul will undergo a qualitative change, and your spiritual force will be greatly enhanced. Your Nascent Soul stage can be compared to a reverse fusion stage. I wonder what is happening now?"
Xiang Han thought for a moment, then replied, "Although I've broken through to the Body Fusion stage, and my strength has increased a little, but I'm still only comparing it to the early stage of Body Fusion!"
The Monkey King was stunned for a moment, and then it also understood what was going on, "Indeed, your previous strength was already comparable to a Body Fusion cultivator, but now that you're out of the body from the Nascent Soul stage, your strength has increased by more than several times to an ordinary Nascent Soul stage. However, to you, it's only an increase of one fold!"
Xiang Han laughed, "Could it be that you think I can use my special cultivation stage to force my way through the tribulation?"
Hearing Xiang Han's laughter, the four of them could not help but burst out laughing.
"Monkey King, I have mastered the Nine Heavens Thunder Bone now. I plan to leave immediately to find Han Xian'er. What are your plans?"
The Monkey King shrugged its shoulders. "I'm not going with you anyway!"
Xiang Han laughed involuntarily, "Fine, if you have anything else, you can go find me in the army!"
Xiang Han passed a token of identity to the monkey king, then he turned into a gust of wind and disappeared from Crescent Moon Island with Situ Longxuan and the Violet Thunder Beast.
A quarter of an hour later.
Other than Xiang Han and Situ Long Xuan, there was another person in the sky above the Heaven's Edge Pavilion. This was without a doubt Xiang Han's previous Jade Magnolia Flower, and as Xiang Han gazed at this beautiful pavilion, his right hand suddenly opened up, turning into a thousand meter long palm print that fell from the sky.
"What is this?"
"Oh my god!"
How could any of the Nascent Soul cultivators on the island have the power to resist? The entire island exploded into the deep sea and the Heaven's Edge Pavilion was eliminated.
Xiang Han turned his head to look at Situ Longxuan. "Alright, your wish has been fulfilled. Follow me back to the Wasteland Army!"
Situ Longxuan nodded, but he was also a bit confused. "Why are we returning to the Wasteland Army? Didn't Master say that he wanted to find Martial Senior Han?"
Xiang Han laughed, "I am a general of the Great Qin Empire, so I naturally have the authority to issue orders and use the information network of the Great Qin Empire to search for me!"
With that, the two of them disappeared into the sea.
In the border region, countless low-level cultivators were painstakingly building the fort that the Chu Army had previously broken. The lowest was at the fusion stage, but the highest was at the Nascent Soul stage.
Xiang Han knew that these were all prisoners of war. Even if they wanted to join the Qin Army, they still had the rules of the Qin Army.
Xiang Han returned to his residence.
This mansion had been given to him by the Duke of Qin, but Xiang Han had indeed not stayed here for a day, but he had lived at the border for many years, so he naturally knew that this was the place.
Outside the manor were two uniformed Jindan soldiers guarding the gate. Two stone sculptures of sixty to seventy feet large flood dragon were vividly displayed on the gate. High above the gate was a large signboard. The Duke of Qin's handwritten words were on it: Loyal Martial House.
"Who is it!"
When the two Aurous Core stage cultivators saw Xiang Han approaching, they immediately brandished their spears at him with fiendish expressions.
Not only was Xiang Han not angry, but he was actually praising him, saying directly, "This mansion has been built for a generation, I've never been here, and you guys are still so serious in protecting it!"
The two soldiers were stunned for a moment before revealing fanatical expressions.
"Don't tell me you are General Xiang!"
Xiang Han nodded, "That's me! I have come back this time for an important matter and there is no need for the two of you to guard the gates. I will call the Old Man Tongtian, Lan Ling, Mountain, and Bai Zhuang here! "
"Yes sir!"
The two of them clasped their hands together as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and took three steps forward.
Situ Longxuan was secretly amazed, 'Isn't this a bit too heaven-defying? The two guards at the entrance are both Jindan Stage cultivators?'
As Xiang Han entered the manor, Situ Longxuan's mood became excited once more.
Servants bowed to Xiang Han nonstop, obviously the two soldiers from before had already sent a telepathic message to the mansion's servants.
"General!"
"General!"
Situ Longxuan counted all the way through. There were over a hundred servants, and the women were as beautiful as flowers and as beautiful as fairies. None of them were worse than Zhang Yulan, who stood to the side.
Half of these servants were in the Aurous Core stage, while the other half were in the Nascent Soul stage. The general's mansion had a radius of several hundred feet!
One must know that every inch of land in the border region was worth a fortune. Since they were also riding generals, the General's Residence of Wei Ying was only around three hundred feet in radius.
Xiang Han walked straight to the main seat of the hall and sat down. He then tried to make sure that Situ Longxuan would also sit down. Only then did he leisurely chat with the two of them.
A few minutes later, an old man dressed in luxurious silver robes walked in. Behind him were all of the servants in the general's manor.
When the silver-robed old man saw Xiang Han, he hurriedly knelt down, with all the servants behind him kneeling down as well.
"Welcome back, General!"
"Welcome back, General!"
Along with the silver-robed old man's loud shout, the servants behind him lowered their heads and shouted loudly.
Xiang Han nodded, "Stand up!"
Only now did the silver-robed elder stand up.
Xiang Han's Spiritual Sense had made him increasingly flabbergasted towards the Duke of Qin's handiwork. This silver-robed elder was actually someone at the peak of the Awakening Realm. If such a character's military merits were sufficient, he could become a general of the Pangu Wasteland Army, and yet he had actually sent him as his slave.
"Are you the butler sent by His Majesty?"
The silver-robed elder hastily said, "That's right, this old servant shall call An Heng!"
"Since everyone is here, I shall set two rules!" Xiang Han said straightforwardly, "When you work in my house, you are not allowed to lower your head and take the first step along the road like you did just now. Second, no one is allowed to wear military uniforms, so this is definitely my residence. I don't want to make it look like my base! "
Xiang Han looked at An Heng, "Butler An, I believe you understand what I mean. The General's Estate that I want is a place where one can hear the laughter and chatter of a woman, and where the men are upright and magnanimous."
An Heng hadn't expected Xiang Handing's rules to be like this. In the past, he had been a steward in the general's estate, and everything here was according to the Duke of Qin's wishes. He hadn't done anything wrong; it was just that his master's personality was different.
"Yes, An Heng knows what to do now!" An Heng was an old freak who had lived for god knows how many years. If he could not figure out his master's personality, he would naturally not be here.
"This is my disciple!" Xiang Han waved his hand. "Long Xuan greets Butler An!"
Situ Longxuan immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to An Heng. "Steward An!"
An Heng, of course, cupped his hands in return and hastily said, "Greetings, Young Master Long Xuan!"
"This is the beloved concubine of this general!" Xiang Han pointed at Zhang Yulan, who was no longer as she used to be, but extremely restrained and upright.
An Heng did not dare to let him bow first. He hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Madam!"
Zhang Yulan's face turned red. She also did not expect that this Xiang Han would actually be willing to admit his identity after becoming a high ranking person. "Greetings, Butler An!"
The two of them had once been friends. Back in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, although Zhang Yulan was unwilling to admit to the past, everyone had their own aspirations. But since she was willing to help him, it could be seen that her heart was not evil. This way, she wouldn't be stingy if she could give even the Xiang Han that Zhang Yulan wanted to her.
An Heng brought his servants down. As for what would happen next, naturally there would be no need for Xiang Han to worry.
Situ Longxuan quickly stuck out his thumb at Xiang Han and spat, "Awesome, this is really amazing. Master, just what kind of skill is this? I can't even see through An Heng's cultivation, he must be at the stage of an apothecary. I'm speechless that you can actually make someone at the stage of a retainer!"
"Enough!" Xiang Han smiled, "How could I be so generous? It was arranged by that person from the Qin Palace!"
"Haha, Big Brother Xiang!"
"Big Brother Xiang!"
Two long laughs rang out. One of them was wearing a gold military uniform while the other was wearing a silver military uniform.
They were Chang Qing and Shan Shan, the two who had just arrived from the military camp.
Chang Qing's cultivation level was already high, and with Xiang Han's help, she had become a general. Meanwhile, Mountain had become a thousand-man commander in a silver uniform.
"Evergreen, Mountain, haha!" Not bad! " Xiang Han sized up the two well-dressed men and smiled knowingly.
"Ha ha!" Changqing hurriedly said, "Since you've been conferred the title of loyal rider general, we'll also bask in your glory!"
"That's because of the light!" Although Mountain was wearing a standard military uniform, his muscles and roots were still visible. He laughed, "I didn't expect an ordinary nascent soul like mine would one day grow to a thousand!"
Ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators were just ordinary soldiers while the stronger ones were centurions or thousand-man commanders.
Mountain was indeed very weak, but he was still an Earth element Nascent Soul cultivator. Logically speaking, unless he had joined the army for several decades and had spent hundreds of years of military exploits, he would only be qualified to be a centurion or a thousand-man commander.
"Sit down!" Xiang Han sat down with the two of them.
Now that Zhang Yulan was acknowledged as Xiang Han's concubine, she naturally went to the back room to bring tea.
"I know who Lan Ling is. He is the descendant of the Dragon Lady. I heard that he has also become a general of the army. How about that?" Xiang Han hurriedly asked.
Chang Qing and Shan Shan looked at each other and smiled. A hint of regret appeared on their faces as they replied, "Bai Zai has already left the army. According to his words, he has gone to Shu City. It will be difficult for us to meet again in the future!"
Xiang Han was slightly dissatisfied. "This fellow, how dare he leave without telling me. I have a high position in the army now, how can he survive in the military?"
Chang Qing laughed bitterly, "That's true! However, Big Brother Xiang, you might not know this, but Bai Zai has already formed a dao companion. His dao companion is a member of one of the sects in Shu.
Xiang Han wouldn't really blame him, but one of his fellow soldiers who had come back to see him was missing. First was Dong Ling's death, and now that Dong Ling had left, Xiang Han was a man who valued friendship, and that was all.
See you later, Old Man Tongtian, and Lan Ling.
Xiang Han was about to get down to business this time.
The few of them heard that Xiang Han wanted to find Han Xian'er, so they did not decline and immediately went to the military affairs office, where there were a few government officials who were in charge of gathering information.
Xiang Han started to feel free in the residence as well.
The news of Xiang Han's return spread through the border region instantly. Whether it was the general or the powerful officials of Fringe City, they all received the news.
This event had even alarmed the three generals in charge of the army.
In a short period of time, the most important thing in the entire border, from the reconstruction of the fort, fell to the "small matter" of giving a congratulatory gift.
For a time, the entire Zhongwu Mansion was in an uproar. Xiang Han also acted according to Steward An's instructions; he might as well set up a banquet in the mansion.
"General Can Yang has arrived, I present you with a jade ruyi!"
"General Subduing Tiger, give one jin of the Deep Sea Golden Jade Stone to me!"
"Captain General Chen Yan has arrived, and is sending the purple gold gourd 10 jars of thousand-year wine!"
"…"
"Steward Liu of the General's Estate is here, one Blood Dragon Stone is here!"
Although Xiang Han was favored by the Duke of Qin, he was ranked lower than the Great General. Therefore, the Great General would not come to the mansion without permission. This was within Xiang Han's expectations.
The rules of the Qin were strict and strict, and their ways of doing things were very particular. If a general invited a general to a feast, many rumors would arise and the Duke of Qin would pamper them.
After Xiang Han drank with all the generals, he suddenly thought of Wu Shao. If it wasn't for him, he would probably still need some time.
However, in Xiang Han's position, not to mention a General Wu, even his father and six others would be respectful to him. Xiang Han naturally wouldn't be remembered by his heart for the small matters of the past.
Just as the generals left and Xiang Han was preparing to return to his room to rest, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Raising his head to look at the sky, his expression froze.
He only saw a branch of brown wood flying over like a sword with supreme magical power.
Xiang Han's pupils constricted, his heart was filled with doubts at first, but then a look of joy appeared on his face. With a sudden wave of his hand, he retracted the village branch into his palm.
A parchment scroll was hung on it.
When he opened it, he saw that it was written in large characters: "Please forgive General Zhongwu for not being able to make it back in time. General Wen's Sword Truth has reached the Sword World realm, and there are few geniuses in the mortal world who are willing to fight with him.
Seeing that An Heng did not have any attitude, he could tell that the person who shot out the branch had an extremely high cultivation base, but he did not have any ill intentions.
After Xiang Han finished reading, he laughed out loud, "An Heng, you don't know this, I once wanted to surpass this person. When I was in the Aurous Core stage, this person made me want to force him to use my Aurous Core stage cultivation to defeat the early stage vicious beast! When he reached the Nascent Soul stage, it was the same as breaking through the enemy's grand general formation within the thousand troops. Furthermore, after hearing that the attack had reached the Nascent Soul stage, it could be compared to a single strike! I admire this person to the extreme, and today, I, Xiang Han, finally have the strength to compete with this so-called number one person in the Great Qin Nation's younger generation, and he was the one who took the initiative to challenge me! "
"Hahahaha!" Xiang Han happily turned around and left.
An Heng replied with a smile, "The general's current strength is something even the Duke of Qin would never agree with. No matter his fame or strength, he's no weaker than a wanton slaughter!"
