Lord Qin could see his predicament at a glance and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll pay for the spirit stones needed for the transmission myself, and I'll even reward you."
Although Mo Xuanfeng and Shengong Bao were good friends, Lord Qin didn't want to use his power to pressure others. According to what Wang Yan said, Xuanfeng Stronghold was also considered a force in the Langya Mountain Range.
As long as it didn't involve Lord Qin, he wouldn't make things difficult for people. He could be ruthless to enemies, but he couldn't harm innocent people without reason, otherwise, he would make too many enemies and eventually capsize.
"Thank you for understanding, Lord Qin!" Mo Xuanfeng thanked with a smile, feeling a sense of goodwill towards Lord Qin.
Shengong Bao also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fearing that Lord Qin would take advantage of his power and the cost of the spirit stones needed for the transmission of tens of thousands of cat people would be a huge expense.
After all, they were to be transmitted from the demonic path to the righteous path, and the farther the distance, the more spirit stones would be consumed.
Then Mo Xuanfeng invited Lord Qin and the others into Xuanfeng Stronghold. Although the cliff was connected by iron cables, the cat people were agile, even the young cat people could easily cross.
With tens of thousands of cat people in the stronghold, the atmosphere became lively. The cultivators of Xuanfeng Stronghold were discussing one after another. The cat people in the Langya Mountain Range were the indigenous people, and they often interacted with the cat people tribe. Fortunately, the relationship between the two sides was relatively harmonious, and there were no major conflicts.
"No need for formalities. I hope Master Mo can take us to the transmission gate. The cat people tribe is currently in a precarious situation. The longer we stay, the worse it is for Xuanfeng Stronghold." Lord Qin jumped down from the back of the Barbaric Elephant King and said with a smile.
Mo Xuanfeng nodded and bowed, "No problem."
His humble attitude was not because of Shengong Bao, but because he had also heard about Lord Qin and the Black Sha Sect. Compared to the Black Sha Sect, their Xuanfeng Stronghold was nothing, so he dared not provoke Lord Qin and even wished Lord Qin would leave as soon as possible.
The group walked along the mountain path inside the stronghold.
Suddenly, Shengong Bao spoke, "Brother Xuanfeng, why don't you also pledge allegiance to my lord?"
"This..." Mo Xuanfeng was instantly in a dilemma. In Xuanfeng Stronghold, he was free and in charge, and naturally, he didn't want to be under someone else's control.
Lord Qin smiled without interrupting, letting Shengong Bao do the persuasion. With Shengong Bao, it was like having a junior version of a summoning system. In the story of Investiture of the Gods, he didn't know how many henchmen he had recruited for King Zhou.
Wang Yan and Wang Xue exchanged a glance and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Was this the rhythm of subduing another force?
They knew the strength of Xuanfeng Stronghold, which was even stronger than their cat people tribe.
"Brother Xuanfeng, don't you see that even the Barbaric Elephant King has been captured to be my lord's mount? Do you not know who the previous master of the Barbaric Elephant King was?" Shengong Bao continued to smile, causing Mo Xuanfeng's expression to change.
The Lord of the Heavenly Demon!
Lord Qin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He had heard the name more than once recently, not only from Wang Yan and the others. But they had never seen the true face of the Lord of the Heavenly Demon, only knowing his name. Anyway, they had praised the Lord of the Heavenly Demon to the skies.
The two words "Heavenly Demon" reminded him of the father of the Red Boy, the Bull Demon King.
But he knew too little about the Lord of the Heavenly Demon to draw conclusions based solely on those two words.
"The Lord of the Heavenly Demon is known for avenging his subordinates. If he finds out that the Barbaric Elephant King has been captured, you know the consequences. I'm afraid the entire Langya Mountain Range will be bathed in blood." Shengong Bao once again provoked Mo Xuanfeng, making him clench his fists involuntarily.
"Hmph, the power of the Lord of the Heavenly Demon, how could you possibly know!" The Barbaric Elephant King snorted coldly. As a seventh-rank demon king, it could naturally speak.
Lord Qin gave it a cold stare, scaring it into silence.
In these three days, it had suffered a lot at the hands of Lord Qin.
Mo Xuanfeng began to hesitate, clearly also fearing the Lord of the Heavenly Demon.
"Would it be possible to give me a day to consider? The preparation for the transmission gate also takes a day." Mo Xuanfeng asked Lord Qin, and inadvertently, his tone had already placed himself in a subordinate position.
"Sure, I also hope that Master Mo will join my side. Trust me, I will give you a surprise." Lord Qin smiled. Now, he was not just an empty commander. With his forces flourishing, he didn't have to fear anyone in the righteous path.
Mo Xuanfeng nodded with a wry smile and said no more.
Soon, the group arrived at the back of Xuanfeng Stronghold, where there was a grassy area on the hillside. Four Xuanfeng Stronghold cultivators were guarding the transmission gate, which was ten meters high and four meters wide. Perhaps because it hadn't been activated for too long, it was covered with weeds.
"Lord Qin, I have only three bases in the righteous path: the Cold River Dynasty, the Flowing Fire Dynasty, and the Land of No Master. I suggest going to the Land of No Master, which is the safest." Mo Xuanfeng suggested. The Land of No Master was a place where all kinds of people mingled, and even demonic cultivators could move around without being hanged.
Lord Qin raised his eyebrows and then said with a smile, "I just happen to want to conquer the Land of No Master!"
With this statement, everyone looked at him in shock.
"The Land of No Master involves too many forces. Lord Qin, you can't act recklessly." Mo Xuanfeng advised. He had planned to pledge allegiance to Lord Qin, but when he heard this, he was almost scared to death.
Conquer the Land of No Master with just tens of thousands of cat people?
Wang Yan had also heard of the Land of No Master. In addition to the local forces, there were also many major forces with hidden movements. He was about to advise Lord Qin when he heard Lord Qin say, "Don't worry, in the Land of No Master, I have a hundred thousand Transcendent Realm soldiers."
A hundred thousand Transcendent Realm soldiers!
Mo Xuanfeng and Wang Yan were wide-eyed and took a sharp breath.
Despite Xuanfeng Village having over fifty thousand people, only a few thousand have reached the Transcendence Realm, while the rest are at the Golden Core Realm.
The Cat People tribe is even weaker, with only a few thousand out of the sixty thousand Cat People reaching the Transcendence Realm. There is only one strong individual at the Celestial Realm, Wang Yan, and no one at the Earthly Realm. Wang Xue can rank in the top thirty within the Cat People tribe, so they were all terrified when they heard about the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers.
"Lord Qin, who exactly are you?" Mo Xuanfeng asked, taking a deep breath. Shen Gongbao had not revealed Qin Jun's identity to him, as the name of Qin Emperor was too sensitive.
Qin Jun smiled mysteriously, "If you come with me, you will find out."
With that, he laughed and left. The teleportation gate still needed a day to prepare, so he didn't need to stay here.
Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, and Old Yi followed closely behind, while Wang Yan and Wang Xue went to arrange the Cat People.
"Brother Xuanfeng, trust me, I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want to see anything untoward happen to a good friend," Shen Gongbao sighed as he patted Mo Xuanfeng's shoulder.
It had to be said that this guy's eloquence and personal charm were off the charts.
It was truly moving for Mo Xuanfeng to hear this, and he raised his hand to hold Shen Gongbao's hand on his shoulder, their eyes meeting as if there was a kind of deep affection between them. [End of this chapter]
