Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 155 : The hope of a comeback.

"Although Lord Lin Lie managed to escape with his life, he is still in a coma and has not awakened yet."

"Who did this?" Fang Yuan asked.

"We haven't figured that out yet, but it's obvious that this couldn't have been done by anyone other than the masters from those few countries working together," Ji Tianqi shook his head.

"So, does this mean that the southeastern border is now completely unguarded by any masters?" Fang Yuan realized the gravity of the situation.

"Yes," Ji Tianqi nodded, his face full of bitterness. "At present, we know nothing about the situation over there. We've even lost contact with the Pacification Bureau of the Hanhai Province."

The Hanhai Province is located on the southeastern border of the Yan Kingdom. Ji Tianqi didn't even dare to tell the other soldiers in the Pacification Bureau about this, for fear of shaking their morale.

Fang Yuan fell silent. He had already known that the problem for Yan Kingdom would be severe, but he hadn't expected it to be this serious.

The Eight-Nation Alliance... those dead memories started to attack him again. It was as if he had returned to the Qing Dynasty.

This isn't defending the border at all—it should be called "recapturing lost lands!"

He couldn't help but wonder how the situation was in the northern border, where Lord Chongwu was stationed.

"So why would these countries join forces like this to attack our country?" Fang Yuan asked again.

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's question, Ji Tianqi's face turned cold. "They're all small countries, of course, coveting our nation's vast land and resources. But besides that, there's another reason. Recently, a rumor has been spreading among the other countries."

"And the rumor is that our Yan Kingdom has a kind of precious medicine that, when consumed, can directly elevate one's martial arts cultivation!"

"Haha, how ridiculous! What kind of magical medicine could exist in this world?! Any martial artist who believes in such nonsense must be as foolish as a pig!"

Fang Yuan: "..."

He felt as though he was being scolded, and the worst part was that it might not actually be a rumor. After all, he had eaten something like that before!

That Tian Du Dragon Lord!

Although he was a demon, not a precious medicine, after consuming it, Fang Yuan had seen his cultivation and that of Hou Longtao improve.

So, were the martial artists from these countries after this? But it made sense. Compared to painstaking cultivation, taking a precious medicine to raise one's cultivation would be a beautiful thing.

The only cost was turning into a lizard... though Hou Longtao seemed pretty satisfied with his new look.

The only strange thing was, how did these countries find out about this? After all, even the Pacification Bureau within their own country had no knowledge of the Dragon Lord...

Fang Yuan couldn't be bothered to think about the unclear things. He stood up and said, "Alright, I know what's going on. I'll set off immediately to the border to check the situation."

He had no intention of visiting his residence in the capital. After all, that kind of house might not even be worth staying in later.

From what Ji Tianqi had described, this trip to the border would likely be well worth it.

Ji Tianqi hurriedly clasped his hands together in salute. "Then please, Lord Fang, be cautious. If you can't win... retreat tactically. As long as the green mountain remains, there's no need to worry about firewood!"

The last old master was still unconscious, and Ji Tianqi didn't want Fang Yuan to suffer the same fate. The task assigned to him by His Majesty was indeed quite difficult.

The Yan Kingdom really couldn't afford to lose any more high-level combatants. Losing one province could be acceptable, but they would think of something later...

"Mm." Fang Yuan nodded.

"Lord Fang, would you like me to send you by flying boat?" Ji Tianqi asked again.

"No need."

That broken flying boat was as slow as a carriage. If not for showing off, it was far less efficient for traveling than his own flying speed.

Fang Yuan returned to the main hall, and a soldier immediately approached him. "Lord Fang, we've organized the demon books according to priority, but..."

"But what? Just give me the books," Fang Yuan said casually.

The soldier immediately presented them with both hands.

"I will handle them in order," Fang Yuan said as he took the books and turned to walk outside.

At that moment, Ji Tianqi rushed out from the inner hall, clasping his hands in a salute. He loudly declared, "I wish Lord Fang a victorious return!"

"I wish Lord Fang a victorious return!" All the soldiers, including Jiang Tao, echoed in unison, their gazes filled with hope and expectation.

The last hope for Yan Kingdom's turnaround now rested entirely on the young man before them.

It was both absurd and real.

"Alright," Fang Yuan replied. In the next moment, a loud sonic boom reverberated through the Pacification Bureau, followed by a burst of clouds and mist. Fang Yuan shot straight up into the sky!

Boom!!!

A thunderous sound suddenly echoed through the sky. The citizens of the capital looked up, but saw nothing.

Liu Dong, who was leisurely walking back to the palace, also heard it. He too looked up but saw nothing.

However, Liu Dong had already guessed what it was. Was that the speed beyond sound? The flying style seemed familiar... Sure enough, it was the same one that had flown over him in the Southern Province that day.

But after receiving the Emperor's orders, did he head out immediately? He didn't even look at the residence awarded to him. He was quite obedient...

Not bad, not bad. A servant like him is exactly what they need. When the Emperor transforms into a dragon, naturally, all his servants will rise with him.

At the same time, on a mountain outside the capital, the deputy general Xue Kai was anxiously waiting.

Suddenly, his vision blurred, and he saw Fang Yuan floating right above him.

"Lord Fang!" Xue Kai quickly clasped his hands in salute.

"Mm." Fang Yuan nodded. "Keep waiting. I'll be there shortly."

With that, Fang Yuan flew off in the distance, leaving Xue Kai stunned.

What does this mean? Didn't he already come? Why is he still telling me to wait?

Xue Kai stood there for a while, only to see Fang Yuan fly past him from another direction.

Huh? Did Lord Fang just fly in a circle in the air?

And at that moment, Fang Yuan was wearing a purple-gold crown, a robe from the Heavenly Immortal Cave, and cloud-walking boots, exuding an air of celestial grace!

So beautiful! Even though Xue Kai was a man, he couldn't help but sigh.

So Lord Fang changed into this attire specifically for slaying demons?

To be honest, this outfit really did resemble the gods worshipped on the incense altars.

"Let's go," Fang Yuan said. Killing demons was a trivial matter; he would just let an astral soul handle it.

"Alright," Xue Kai responded. "But before we do, I must first explain the situation in Jingchuan Province. There are three demon kings in the province, and we are really unable to handle them. Almost half of the cities in the province have fallen..."

Having finally found someone willing to help him, Xue Kai initially wanted to pour out his grievances like a never-ending tale. But before he could finish, Fang Yuan interrupted him. "Three?"

"Yes."

"Then we'll talk on the way."

In the next moment, Fang Yuan grabbed Xue Kai's shoulder, and before Xue Kai could react, the two had already reached an altitude of a thousand meters.

He couldn't wait any longer.

...

"One demon king alone exhausted the Pacification Bureau of Southern Province. Now, Jingchuan Province has three demon kings... No wonder Xue Kai was acting like a madman, constantly throwing tantrums at the Pacification Bureau. But for me, this is great news..."

Fang Yuan couldn't help but exclaim. His real body was still on the way to the border, but before that, he had to make a quick stop at Jianghai Prefecture.

He had left in such a hurry this time, and needed to settle some matters in the city first to prevent panic.

Wait a minute... Fang Yuan suddenly remembered a more serious problem.

Was Grandpa Qin still sitting on that roof?
