Chen Shu also nodded solemnly. “These two days, we’ve been paying attention to the World Channel. Although the higher-ups haven’t directly discussed how to deal with you, most of the foreign races are filled with anger and malice toward you. If you reveal your whereabouts, the enemies hiding in the dark will definitely take action to trap you!”
“That’s right. There are all sorts of strange treasures in the Myriad World Continent. Don’t be too confident!” Zhou Yutong also advised.
Li Xiang understood their concern. In fact, he himself wasn’t sure if he should go over when the time came.
Seeing the trio’s resolute opposition, he said, “Things haven’t reached that stage yet. There’s still time. We can think it over.”
Li Xiang decided to put the matter aside for the time being. He would let Carter prepare first and then play by ear.
In truth, Li Xiang did not have the intention of making a trip to Carter’s territory. The territory had just descended from the Trial Continent to the Myriad World Continent. The land was fertile and the weather was pleasant. It would be a pity if he were to give up just like that.
The reason why Li Xiang still persisted in his thoughts was because of the Void Divine Mirror he had just obtained. That treasure could teleport him at will.
Most importantly, the teleportation mechanism of that treasure was different from that of a teleportation array. It used the void to teleport, not space. At that time, even if the enemy wanted to seal it, they would not be able to interfere. It was a completely safe teleportation method.
However, there was no need to mention that to Yang Mi and the others for the time being, because even if he did, they still might not agree to it.
There was still half a month left. Li Xiang decided to first include the Secret Plane Valley not far from the Kingdom of Dawn into the national territory.
The way to include it was naturally to start from the border and clear out those demons and monsters.
With the current strength of the army under him, that shouldn’t be a problem.
As for whether it would attract the attention of other enemies, Li Xiang didn’t care.
His strength had soared, and he was even worried that no one would be a worthy target!
Very quickly, Li Xiang gave the order to organize a large army and prepare to go out into the wilderness.
When Yang Mi and the others heard that, they immediately rushed over.
“Where are you going?”
“Don’t worry. I’m just going to clean up the monsters in the wilderness near our territory!”
“Is it that simple?”
“It’s simple, but it’s not that simple either. After cleaning up, I’ll ask people to plant Skylight Flowers and Divine Pure Grass. By then, my territory will expand outward. Soon, I’ll be able to connect with the Secret Plane Valley. By then, it’ll be very convenient to expand from there!”
Zhou Yutong suddenly said, “Did you check the Secret Plane Valley from time to time after we took it down last time? There seem to be six Country Lords, three beasts, the Night Demon race, the Undead race, and the Eternal race nearby. There are a lot of people in three of the countries. Although we don’t know exactly how many people there are, we can save them and increase our population.”
Li Xiang’s eyes lit up. That was also in his plan, but Li Xiang did not say it out loud. He wanted to see the situation first.
Now that Zhou Yutong mentioned it, Chen Shu and Tong Qingya were utterly determined.
“The army can concentrate on attacking. Leave the matter of appeasing the citizens to me and Qingya!”
Zhou Yutong also said, “I can bring an army to protect them!”
Li Xiang turned to look at Yang Mi, who rolled her eyes at him without any intention of objecting.
“Since you guys are so enthusiastic, then bring armies and follow us! Sister Mi will stay at home to guard the house, and Xiaoyue will accompany her!”
Ning Xiaoyue was not interested in fighting at all. Now she had found her most suitable position, which was “farming”. In other words, it could be said that she liked to manage resources by producing and exchanging them for more needed resources. She never grew tired of that.
Ning Xiaoyue even set up a merchant caravan to travel around the Kingdom of Dawn and collect all kinds of resources.
Ning Xiaoyue was the youngest among the five people, and she was also the liveliest. She had always been the most favored. Seeing that she liked managing resources, the others naturally supported her.
Since Li Xiang was going out to clean up the wilderness, Ning Xiaoyue suggested, “Li Xiang, don’t leave those monsters on the spot after you kill them. Their bodies are full of treasures, and their skin, bones, and flesh are all resources. As long as they are properly handled, they can be turned into very important resources. Also, Isabella needs those strange plants and whatnot that can dispel demonic aura or have strange effects.”
Li Xiang laughed and said, “Okay, I got it! Why don’t you send out some people from your merchant caravan to follow behind and collect those supplies?”
After all, those supplies were very complicated and contained demonic aura, so they were not easy to deal with. Usually, Li Xiang would burn them into ashes with fire.
Ning Xiaoyue nodded heavily and said, “I’m ready. Their combat strength is not high, but they are good at handling corpses and materials. You have to help me protect them, and I mean every single one of them!”
“Don’t worry! There shouldn’t be much danger when we go out this time!” Li Xiang waved his hand, and the armies immediately set off.
This time, he brought quite a number of people: 10,000 Dread Fiend Cavalry, 10,000 Human warriors, 10,000 Flame Demon Warriors, 10,000 Black Wing Demons, Vine Whisker Demons, and some eye demon clones.
Although Li Xiang didn’t bring any Demon Warriors with him into the Frost Purgatory world, the Demon Warriors weren’t idle. They had been cleaning up the wild monsters that spawned in the Kingdom of Dawn, so their levels weren’t far behind.
The armies passed through the protective barrier, and the dark and evil aura from the outside instantly enveloped everyone.
The eye demon clones immediately spread out in all directions, and they were followed closely by the Vine Whisker Demons and the Black Wing Demons.
As the scout team, they could detect the situation around them in advance.
Simply clearing the wilderness and eliminating evil monsters was not the end. They also needed to clear the evil aura and baleful aura hidden in the dark and evil land.
However, the entire world was filled with demonic aura and evil energy. Even if they were cleared out, it would not take long for the evil land to be formed again.
Fortunately, Li Xiang had brought out quite a number of Skylight Flowers and Divine Pure Grass as an experiment to see if his method would work.
Every 10 people formed a small team. Apart from leaving a thousand Human Archers, a thousand Dread Fiend Cavalry, and a thousand Flame Demon Warriors as guards, everyone else was sent out in a semicircle formation, the total covered radius reaching a hundred kilometers.
Meanwhile, the eye demon was guarding Li Xiang’s side, constantly reporting on the progress.
“Country Lord, a Demon Lair has been discovered in the west. It has been cleaned up!”
“All right, let’s go over and take a look!”
Li Xiang urged the Dragon-blooded horse he was sitting on and headed toward the west.
A few minutes later, everyone arrived at the foot of a small mountain.
The small mountain was almost completely hollowed out, and it was filled with an evil, fishy smell. It looked like a place that evil creatures like the Cave-dwelling Demons would live in, except the residing creatures appeared to have much greater combat strength than Cave-dwelling Demons.
