The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

To ensure that they could garner more information regarding the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, Gong Zhiyu and Chi Tong cornered Ji Fengyan into telling them everything she knew and had experienced in that kingdom.

They were completely transfixed after hearing about Ji Fengyan’s “glorious escapades” in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.

Leading an army, going through battles, killing a princess, bringing mayhem to the capital city, even the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon’s powerful Green Nightmare Army had been defeated by Ji Fengyan. Her experiences were unsurpassed.

“I am really curious. Our great queen has achieved so many battle accolades; the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon must have gone soft in the head to want to kill our queen.” Meng Fusheng muttered in bafflement. He totally couldn’t understand why that Emperor wanted Ji Fengyan dead.

If it were any other nation, they would have already been worshiping such a powerful general?

Ji Fengyan kept silent and just gave a faint smile.

On the other hand, Chi Tong didn’t have such queries. He was also a general who had gone through many hard battles. He naturally understood things about the royal rule that outsiders would never comprehend. Chi Tong just focused on forecasting the amount of force that the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon might dispatch and assessed the need to increase the defenses of the valley.

The Kingdom of Hua Xia immediately begun enhancing their defenses after receiving the news.

At the same time, the fake Fu Xiang trading team had arrived at the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Still under the guise of trading business, they stopped by a few major territories to spread news of Ji Fengyan’s location in the Free Valley.

Ji Fengyan had already become a highly wanted criminal inside the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Everyone in the kingdom knew of her.

Very quickly, this news spread to the Emperor.

After her lengthy absence, the reappearance of Ji Fengyan in a place such as the Free Valley stunned the Emperor.

The Emperor was seated on his throne in his grand hall. It was in this very hall half a year ago when he was questioned by Ji Fengyan at knife point. He had fled to save himself, and the Eldest Princess had consequently been killed.

He summoned the Elders and several army generals to the grand hall. The congregation was waiting for the Emperor’s decree.

Ji Fengyan had already become a taboo topic for the Emperor. Any mention of her would incur his rage. Everyone knew that the Emperor would never let go of this news about Ji Fengyan. A war of vengeance was about to be launched.

The Emperor surveyed his generals with a grave face. He asked in a gloomy voice, “Has the Grand Tutor not arrived yet?”

A general immediately stepped forth. “We received a message from the Grand Tutor’s residence that he has been unwell for the past few months and is still recuperating.”

The Emperor nodded. “The Grand Tutor has been ill for quite some time. As such, there is no need to bother him. I have summoned you all here for the matter of making Ji Fengyan pay for her sins…”

At the same time within the Grand Tutor’s residence, the dark guard had just received news and immediately reported it to Xing Lou.

Xing Lou stared at the familiar words on that note, as his eyes blazed with a fire that had been suppressed for some time.

“The Free Valley?”

“That’s right. According to the news, Miss Ji is inside the Free Valley. In addition… she seems to have established a new kingdom there called Hua Xia.”

“Hua Xia?” Xing Lou lowered his eyes before suddenly lifting his head. “I am going to the Free Valley.”
