Chương 67: Chapter 105 : Cloud Perching Valley

After a round of reporting, he finally met Li Heshan.

"Immortal Li." When Jiang wenfeng cupped his hands, Li Heshan smiled and stood up.

"Li has just returned from outside and saw your letter."

"The Ascension Pavilion was established by our Cloud Perching Valley. The people of the Ascension Pavilion naturally belong to our Cloud Perching Valley. Little Brother Jiang need not worry about the border war. Just guard Anyang County's Ascension Pavilion in peace."

"Besides, whether this battle between the Yu Kingdom and the Western Wilderness barbarians can even be fought is still hard to say." Jiang wenfeng was feeling curious when Li Heshan spoke again.

"Did you come this time for another matter?"

"Yes!" Jiang wenfeng reacted and hurriedly took out the map of Anyang County.

"Replying to Immortal, two households in our Anyang County have cultivated spiritual seeds."

"You see, this…"

"Senior Brother! I'm back!" Just as he was about to explain, a figure slowly walked in from outside the Immortal Reception Court. It was none other than Pei Yuwan, who had left for many days.

"Immortal Pei." Jiang wenfeng hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted. Pei Yuwan nodded, then looked toward Li Heshan and said, "The sect leader…"

"Little Brother Jiang, I already know about the spiritual seeds. Return to Anyang first. After some time, I will personally go to Anyang to take a look." Li Heshan interrupted Pei Yuwan, clearly not wanting Jiang wenfeng to hear the sect's decision.

"Very well. Then this boy will take his leave first." Jiang wenfeng tactfully left.

"Junior Sister, in the future, you must pay more attention to propriety when doing things. How can important sect matters be spoken of without avoiding outsiders?" Pei Yuwan stuck out her tongue and did not refute. Seeing that Jiang wenfeng had already walked far away, she then said, "Sect Leader Martial Uncle's meaning is that we cannot have a direct conflict with Hundred Beasts Mountain."

"If Hundred Beasts Mountain wants the Yu Kingdom's territory, then let the Yu Kingdom give it to them."

"However, Sect Leader Martial Uncle wants Senior Brother to strive for more benefits in the negotiations with Hundred Beasts Mountain. It would be best to figure out what Hundred Beasts Mountain is actually plotting." Li Heshan nodded slightly. The sect's meaning was roughly the same as he had guessed. But the problem right now was whether Emperor Yu was willing to hand over the territory he had conquered. Both sides were currently in a cooperative relationship.

If he pressured the emperor into agreeing, it would inevitably worsen their relationship. Cloud Perching Valley's various arrangements in the Yang Marsh Land still needed the help of the Yu Kingdom's imperial clan. If their relationship worsened, it would not benefit Cloud Perching Valley.

"Then why did Jiang wenfeng come to find Senior Brother?" Pei Yuwan asked curiously. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Li Heshan temporarily set aside the thoughts in his heart and smiled faintly.

"Good news."

"Commoners in Anyang County have cultivated spiritual seeds. Two families, in fact." Hearing this, Pei Yuwan's beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

"Then does that mean there really is a spiritual vein over in Anyang County!?"

"It may also only be some treasured lands where spiritual energy gathers, and no spiritual vein has formed underground yet," Li Heshan explained. The growth of spiritual seeds required the spiritual energy concentration to reach a certain level. The Yang Marsh Land lacked spiritual energy. Ordinary land absolutely could not keep spiritual seeds alive. Only places with underground spiritual veins, or places where spiritual energy naturally gathered under the influence of the force of heaven and earth, could do so.

As for the specific situation, he would have to personally go to Anyang County and take a look when the time came.

"Junior Sister has traveled all this way. Rest for a while first."

"I will go to the imperial palace and discuss things with Emperor Yu." … Outside the imperial palace, Li Heshan walked out with a somewhat ugly expression. As he had expected, the three Western Region prefectures were lost territories that this Emperor Yu had endured for a hundred years to recover, paying the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Now, asking him to hand them over was simply impossible.

Even after knowing that behind the barbarians stood an immortal sect stronger than Cloud Perching Valley, Emperor Yu still acted very forcefully. Li Heshan had even seen a kind of determination in his expression: better to be shattered jade than intact tile. Inside the Immortal Reception Court, Pei Yuwan came forward to meet him and asked,"Senior Brother, what did Li Cangwu say?" Li Heshan shook his head slightly. Seeing this, Pei Yuwan's gaze turned faintly cold.

"This Li Cangwu is truly so unable to appreciate favor?"

"The Yu Kingdom is stronger than the barbarians, but even if they defeat the barbarians, so what?"

"If our Cloud Perching Valley does not interfere, then with just a single Embryonic Breathing Realm expert from Hundred Beasts Mountain, their imperial clan can be wiped out with ease." Li Heshan nodded.

"If this battle truly starts, it will be disadvantageous to our Cloud Perching Valley." He had spent an enormous price to open Ascension Pavilions throughout the Yu Kingdom and arrange spiritual-root testing formations. If both sides went to war, the barbarians had Hundred Beasts Mountain behind them. If Cloud Perching Valley did not interfere, the Yu Kingdom would definitely lose. When the time came and the Yu Kingdom changed hands, all of these arrangements would be wasted.

"Does Senior Brother have a way?" Pei Yuwan asked curiously. Li Heshan thought for a long time, then nodded slightly.

"There is one method worth trying."

"Junior Sister, stay at the Immortal Reception Court for the next few days. I will go out for a trip."
