"Eight-limbed monster..." Yue Yangfei immediately fell into deep thought. He had seen children born with deformities, having three arms, but eight was truly the first time he’d heard of such a thing, inevitably making him feel quite peculiar.

And this person single-handedly defeated Liu Xian’s entire army, proving their strength beyond doubt.

"How about this, Lord Liu? I will send more experts from our sect to sit in your army. When similar situations occur in the future, with our masters guarding, it’s certain that nothing like this will happen again."

Liu Xian nodded, saying, "That would be excellent, it’s a great help indeed."

"There’s no need for courtesy, lord. Our sect has decided to support you in taking control of the Central Plains and competing for empire. We are in a relationship where one’s glory is everyone’s glory, one’s loss is everyone’s loss, naturally requiring mutual assistance and cooperation." Yue Yangfei took out a rolled sheepskin map and handed it to the other person.

"This is the purpose of my visit to you today, please have a look first, lord."

Seeing Yue Yangfei place the map on the table, Liu Xian felt puzzled and had to calmly take a new brush, using its tip to slowly spread open the map.

When the map was completely unrolled, its entirety appeared before Liu Xian’s eyes, surprisingly depicting a structure resembling an altar.

"Mr. Yue, what is this?" Liu Xian looked at him with wonder and asked.

Yue Yangfei chuckled, "Our sect worships the Celestial Lord. Since you are willing to unite with our sect, in Yangzhou Prefecture, this statue of the worshiped Celestial Lord must be erected early. I ask for your approval to mobilize the city’s laborers to build it for our sect."

Liu Xian frowned slightly. At present, it was time for him to march south and north, pillaging Jiangnan. Taking on this task seemed like it would only affect himself.

Perhaps guessing Liu Xian’s thought, Yue Yangfei immediately said, "Building the Celestial Lord statue, our sect will pay all costs. You just help our sect summon workers."

Since the other side said as much, rejecting would seem too obvious, not beneficial to future cooperation between both parties.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Immortal Sect was willing to cover the costs in silver taels, Liu Xian naturally became indifferent. Anyway, in the current world, everything is lacking except for people. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The emperor is weak and ignorant, refugees roam due to famine everywhere. When the time comes, gather these people and send them to the Yellow Turban Immortal Sect as laborers, it won’t cost him anything.

"Alright, this matter will be arranged promptly by my office for your sect." Liu Xian nodded in agreement.

Yue Yangfei said, "Regarding the site selection for the Celestial Lord statue, I hope you could provide a good fortune location within Yangzhou Prefecture."

"The southeast corner of Yangzhou Prefecture is nice. A geomancer once told me it’s a place of flourishing wealth. We’ll choose that place for the site." Liu Xian casually replied.

"Thank you, lord. I will take my leave now."

After Yue Yangfei departed for over a hundred breaths, Tong Yan, who had remained silent, finally spoke, "Lord, I find this matter quite strange."

"When they are building this Celestial Lord statue, send more of our people into the supervisors to see what the Yellow Turban Immortal Sect intends to do." Liu Xian said softly, while looking at the book in his hands.

...

A golden figure sprinted along the official road, from afar, it looked just like a ball of golden fire.

Ever since Qin Yuesheng picked up Ah Hu from Meteor Mountain, it had been kept in the Qin Mansion, never having gone out.

How could that small yard accommodate such a big tiger, resulting in Ah Hu never having the chance to sprint to its fullest.

With this outing, the sky is vast, the earth expansive, the road endless, naturally letting Ah Hu unleash its inner wildness, sprinting over a hundred miles without slowing down at all.

Normal tigers, no matter how well they could run, couldn’t achieve this, thus Qin Yuesheng knew it must be the War Tiger bloodline at work.

Boom!

Suddenly, a clap of thunder roared in the sky, giving no chance to react as a torrential downpour fiercely showered.

Splat!

The tiger’s tail lashed the ground forcefully, immediately creating a several-inch deep indentation. Ah Hu roared upward into the sky, then slowly came to a halt.

Qin Yuesheng had the Water Elemental Jade on him, naturally not fearing the rain, but Ah Hu didn’t have this condition. He had to climb down from Ah Hu’s back and took out the Mountain Ghost Pearl, casually tossing it beside the road.

Instantly, the small Mountain Ghost Pearl transformed into a mansion.

"Come, let’s take shelter from the rain inside." Qin Yuesheng patted Ah Hu’s back, then proceeded to walk toward the mansion’s gates.

Opening the door, he immediately saw a squirrel climb down from the beams in the inner courtyard hall, hurriedly approaching Qin Yuesheng saying, "Young master, you have arrived."

Ever since that day in Antong County, the squirrel had been trapped inside the Mountain Ghost Pearl by Qin Yuesheng. However, Qin Yuesheng often delivered food and water inside, keeping it from starvation.

Following behind Qin Yuesheng, Ah Hu saw the squirrel for the first time, finding it fascinating, and quickly stretched its head forward to observe this little creature closely.

"All are friends, don’t attack." Qin Yuesheng patted Ah Hu’s head, then headed toward the main hall.

Seeing a creature much larger than itself, the squirrel was too scared to stay in place and immediately followed Qin Yuesheng’s footsteps.

Rumble!

The thunder grew louder, the rain poured harder.

Suddenly, the previously fine weather turned nasty, leaving Qin Yuesheng nothing to do but sitting in a chair, chewing on the sunflower seeds and nuts he had placed inside earlier, waiting for the rain to stop before continuing his journey.
