Later, they also invited Anqiu True Person, who was also in Fu City, to come and observe the ceremony.

The reason for inviting this Elder Daoist was mainly to continue the pretense of the military review and deceive the other party, to make them more firmly believe that he planned to cultivate the Taiping Dao Book.

As much as possible, delay the day of confrontation.

At the same time, through today’s military review, they could display their strength, making Dan Ding Path know that he was not someone they could easily manipulate.

If the effect was good, it might even deter the other party, so that when it came time to turn against them, they would not dare to retaliate.

Moreover, Anqiu True Person was a cultivator who could be on par with a Martial Arts Xiantian, not only with strong strength but also representing Dan Ding Path.

Bringing such a person as a deterrence would undoubtedly be more advantageous when negotiating terms with the Five Poisons Sect and Lan Zhaoyun.

After making all these preparations, at around nine o’clock in the morning, the army had already lined up in the wasteland outside the city, practicing their formations and skills.

At this moment, the news came from outside the camp that the Five Poisons Sect Master Lan Zhaoyun had finally arrived.

Lu Yuan, upon hearing the news, showed no change in his expression and did not show any intention to greet him. He just said indifferently, “Bring the man in.”

After that, he turned back and continued to chat with Yan Wangqiu and others, laughing and watching the soldiers below.

Of the three guests who were invited to observe the ceremony, Yan Wangqiu was actually fine, as he had been following Lu Yuan in battles before and was well aware of the situation of his soldiers, knowing that they could be considered elite.

However, for Su Xuange and Anqiu True Person, it was their first time seeing the strong soldiers under Lu Yuan’s command.

Upon seeing them, they couldn’t help but be amazed.

This was not because they were shocked by the elite nature of Lu Yuan’s soldiers.

It must be said that of Lu Yuan’s 100,000 soldiers, only 50,000 veterans could be regarded as truly elite.

The remaining 50,000 were newly recruited soldiers, most of whom had never seen blood. They were still far behind the elite soldiers of the imperial court and the Liang and Zhou countries.

What truly shocked the two of them was that Lu Yuan could support such an elite force with the power of just half a county.

Although there were only 50,000 people, with such elite forces and the combination of new and veteran soldiers, the current 100,000-strong army could become an elite force within a year.

With 100,000 elite soldiers in hand, even the major countries like Zhou, Liang, and Yue could not neglect them.

After all, these countries usually had only five to six hundred thousand regular soldiers, who had to be stationed and guarded in various places, and could not all be concentrated together.

Lu Yuan had 100,000 soldiers, which was enough to engage in a head-on confrontation with these countries in a certain direction.

Wasn’t such military power impressive for half a county?

After the shock, Su Xuange regained his composure and his heart was naturally filled with joy and excitement.

Since the three of them were already allies, the tremendous strength of their ally would undoubtedly increase the chances of success and security when it came to founding a country in the future.

Knowing this, how could they not be happy?

Anqiu True Person was also delighted.

Lu Yuan’s training of elite soldiers undoubtedly showed that he had the ambition to dominate the world. 𝘧𝑟𝓮𝓮𝓌𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝑚

To compete for hegemony, one needs to have sufficient strength.

This strength referred not only to military power but also to high-level combat power such as Inborn Grandmasters.

Thus, from this point of view, it further confirmed that Lu Yuan was seriously preparing to cultivate the Taiping Dao Book.

‘And it’s not just that.’

Anqiu True Person averted his gaze from the army formation below and looked toward Su Xuange and Yan Wangqiu, amazed: ‘This Lu Yuan has such a close relationship with these two Inborn Grandmasters.’

Their appearance seemed far more than just a good relationship. It resembled the six families and seven clans of the Yue State, who mutually made alliances with each other.

If my guess is correct, then there might already be unknown agreements between the Nine River Sword Sect, Nanhai Sect, and this conquering general.’

Anqiu True Person thought to himself, chuckling mischievously.

Although he was a cultivator, a person beyond worldly affairs.

However, it must be said that as a Dao vein of Liang Country, he was rather happy to see the Zhou and Yue countries, his two enemies, having a hard time.

Otherwise, Dan Ding Path would not have chosen Chi Mingzhu for its support back then and deliberately started a rebellion in Jianan of Yue State.

Moreover, Lu Yuan’s eagerness to find allies was more in line with the interests of Dan Ding Path.

With so many allies, once he launched an attack, he wouldn’t immediately be wiped out by the Yue State court.

In this way, he could hold out for a longer time, or even capture a larger territory, which would be invaluable data for cultivating the Taiping Dao Book.

All these factors were extremely favorable for Dan Ding Path.

And so, in high spirits, Anqiu True Person looked at Lu Yuan next to him and began to praise him: “General, you truly deserve to be a famous general of our time, able to train such elite soldiers. No wonder that in just a few years, you have broken the chaos of the Miao people and achieved great military accomplishments…”

As soon as the words were spoken, the man who had just arrived at the scene, his face suddenly darkened and he couldn’t help but let out a faint snort.

Hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads and saw a burly man dressed in Miao nationality clothing standing behind them, looking at them with displeasure.

Without a doubt, everyone immediately understood the other party’s identity—it was the Five Poisons Sect Master Lan Zhaoyun who had come to seek peace.

Thinking of this, everyone’s expressions and gazes immediately became strange.

As Lan Zhaoyun was stared at by various gazes from the crowd, his heart was extremely uncomfortable. When had he, the leader of a sect, the leader of the Miao people, ever suffered such humiliation?

He wanted to glare back and show some of his dignity.

To tell them that even if he was defeated, he wasn’t someone they could easily humiliate.

But as his gaze swept over the four people, his heart grew colder and colder.

Because Lan Zhaoyun discovered that among the three people present, all of them were Inborn Grandmasters.

As for the remaining one, although he wasn’t a Grandmaster, his aura was not much worse than that of the Grandmasters by his side, and even seemed to be faintly stronger.

As the leader of a sect, he naturally had some experience.

He knew that this should be those people from the Daoist Path, who were even more terrifying than the Inborn Grandmasters.

“Gulp…”

After recognizing the strength of the people in the field, the anger in Lan Zhaoyun’s heart was instantly extinguished like a bucket of cold water, and he couldn’t help but swallow a dry mouthful of saliva, feeling desolate and bitter.
