I Have A Qi Fortune Altar

Chen Yuan had no idea what Huangfu Qi was thinking at the moment, but he could guess a bit. With this kindness, it's estimated that he could gain some loyalty from him.

It was just a casual act, not causing any harm to him.

After seeing off Huangfu Qi, Chen Yuan began pondering how to confront the Northern Liang King, ranked fourth in the world, reflecting on some rumors about him.

It's said that this person has strict military discipline and extraordinary methods.

It's said he is ambitious and driven by aspirations.

Some say he is incredibly domineering, not tolerating any dissent; in short, there are many rumors about the Northern Liang King in Liangzhou, but one consensus is clear,

The Northern Liang King is the ruler of Liangzhou's sky!

He oversees all military affairs, commanding an army of 300,000 fierce soldiers, dominating the North, even an Emperor wouldn't dare oppress him, lest he be forced to rebel. Furthermore, all of Liangzhou's tax revenues are under his control, supporting the army.

Three hundred thousand soldiers, and not just any soldiers, but elite ones, cannot be maintained easily. Besides the taxes from various parts of Liangzhou, the royal court allocates a substantial amount of gold, silver, and Primordial Crystals annually.

But the military pay is distributed by the people of the Beiliang Royal Mansion.

Honestly, this is quite similar to Chen Yuan's approach in Tangshan, it's hard not to think the Northern Liang King harbors rebellious intentions.

Chen Yuan sat idly in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau for half a day, deciding to first observe the Northern Liang King's attitude. But regardless, he planned to leave the Heavenly Patrol Bureau in Liangzhou soon, to assist Senior Moluo in seizing the ancient relic from the Golden Royal Court.

Helping others is helping oneself.

Fully recovering Moluo's injuries could provide Chen Yuan with substantial support, enabling him to rely on something even if unforeseen events occur in the future.

He'd have the confidence to turn against the royal court.

At noon, after a simple meal, Chen Yuan left Liangzhou City alone.

The Northern Liang King doesn't reside in the Beiliang Royal Mansion; most of the time it serves as a mere symbol. Based on what Chen Yuan knows, the Northern Liang King spends the majority of his time outside the city in the Beiliang military camp.

This place is approximately several tens of miles from Liangzhou City, essentially a massive military encampment accommodating nearly half of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry. As for the other half,

they are either stationed near Youzhou or at other strategic passes.

The specifics are unknown as these are top-secret matters.

After roughly a quarter of an hour, Chen Yuan's figure appeared outside the Beiliang military camp, now almost nearing the scheduled time in the afternoon. He arrived at the appointed time set by the Northern Liang King.

Looking at the boundless military encampment before him, even though it's not all his, it still stirred a sense of ambition within him.

Magnificent!

It doesn't resemble a mere military camp, but rather a majestic barrier.

The sound of iron hooves continuously thundered from the inside, as if brewing thunder above the Nine Heavens.

"Who goes there? Report your name!"

While Chen Yuan was hovering in the air, observing the camp, a War General with Core Realm cultivation, donned in battle armor and wielding a giant axe, questioned in a resonating voice.

Looking at the general in front of him, Chen Yuan calmly responded:

"I am Chen Yuan, Golden Envoy of the Liangzhou Heavenly Patrol Bureau, here to meet the Northern Liang King!"

"Chen Yuan?"

The War General scrutinized Chen Yuan's official robe, nodded, and replied:

"Since you are the newly appointed Golden Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, do you have an official token?"

"General, please take a look."

Chen Yuan waved his long sleeve, and the token within flew into the general's hand as a streak of light. After examining it, confirming it was genuine, he bowed and said:

"I am Zhou Kai, Deputy Commander of the Beiliang Army's Mountain Camp, I have been waiting for Golden Envoy Chen for quite some time, please proceed."

With that, he returned the Golden Envoy token to Chen Yuan and ordered:

"Open the camp gate!"

Following his command, lights gathered at the camp gate, and a rumbling sound echoed, signaling the opening of the gate for Chen Yuan. Clearly, the military camp had a protective formation.

Chen Yuan entered the Beiliang military camp expressionlessly, and Zhou Kai, who had been standing on the wall, came down to greet him, directly saying:

"Golden Envoy Chen, please follow me; the Prince is waiting within the camp."

"Thank you."

Chen Yuan bowed slightly.

Following Zhou Kai, Chen Yuan entered the military camp, witnessing a scene no less imposing than the blood spirit of the Chen Family Army at the Blood Lake.

Where he looked,

was filled with the surging army.

In the martial field, two thousand-man Iron Cavalry units were conducting actual combat drills. The exotic war horses under them roared, and blood qi clashed endlessly in the sky above.

Elite, absolutely elite!

Far more elite than the private army he had raised within Tangshan Prefecture.

Zhou Kai led the way in silence, and Chen Yuan did not disturb him, but his gaze flowed continuously throughout this extraordinary military camp.

Indeed, for Martial Artists, cultivating oneself is the righteous path.

Yet, a military formation is an exceedingly extraordinary method, where soldiers cultivate Evil Qi, refine qi and blood, and True Yuan, merging thousands or even tens of thousands into one, capable of unleashing terrifying power.

This method is far simpler than a Martial Artist cultivating from weakness to True Monarch.

Additionally, it can gradually nurture Martial Artists.

Thus, while Chen Yuan's cultivation is rapid, potentially achieving a power capable of sweeping the world in the future, expanding his forces is necessary. Otherwise, who would act as the claws and teeth?

Certainly not everything can be done personally.

After a short while, Chen Yuan finally followed Zhou Kai's footsteps to the destination, entering the grand hall before him.

The guards lined up on both sides were all elite soldiers, each with Blood Refining Cultivation, focused steadfastly on the forefront, the war glaives in their hands gleaming coldly.
