Chapter 129: Coming
"Well, I will send the message now."

Li Guiyuan nodded and took out a bronze mirror.

This is a magic weapon specially used to communicate with Marquis Liuying, and it can convey messages within tens of millions of miles.

Li Guiyuan used his true Qi as ink to draw a few strokes on it, and immediately four words appeared on it: "The city has been built."

"Know!"

Less than a breath later, the reply from Marquis Liuying came from the bronze mirror.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and looked at the majestic city in front of them with emotion, knowing that they would soon be on the right track.

They can also truly have their own foundation in Daxuan.

They paid a lot for this Demon-Slaying City. Well, although they didn't have to pay for the money, didn't Old Man Li sell himself?

This is a huge price to pay!

Fang Chen thought strangely in his heart.

After the Demon-Slaying City is back on track, they can also be liberated. As for who will guard it?

Master Fang Chen and his disciple looked at Shangguan Hong who was still busy at work at the same time, and they smiled meaningfully at each other.

"Well, I'm doing this for his own good. This is such a great training opportunity!" Li Guiyuan said with a light cough.

"Indeed!"

Fang Chen agreed very much. It was most appropriate for Shangguan Hong, who was at the fourth level of the Taoist cultivation, to preside over the formation. Even if a Demon King rushed out, he could be killed under the city!
This experience of being able to kill enemies across levels is quite rare.

"hey-hey……"

The master and the disciple laughed at the same time.

"Ah! Ahh!"

Shangguan Hong in the distance sneezed twice. He rubbed his nose and looked at Li Guiyuan who was laughing, cursing in his heart, it must be this damn old man who is talking about me!
You bastard, you made me work for nothing!
And this kid Fang Chen and his master are really birds of a feather!
He rolled his eyes and realized that the master and disciple were up to no good and were probably trying to trick him into doing some work. No way!
I would rather go home and face the old man's cold face than be exploited by you.

"What is Uncle Shangguan thinking about?" Fang Chen looked at Shangguan Hong strangely, who was laughing in his fantasy.

"Hehe, I guess you're thinking about how to escape!" Li Guiyuan curled his lips and laughed.

"Ah? What should we do?"

"Don't worry! This old guy can't run away!" Li Guiyuan cursed.

"Marquis Liuying has already told me that the Shangguan family will organize many young people to come to Tongcheng for training, and their old man has also ordered Shangguan Hong to stay in Tongcheng. Haha!" As he spoke, Old Man Li began to laugh.

Fang Chen was stunned: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Hey, aren't you just waiting for your uncle Shangguan to be happy for a while?" Li Guiyuan said with a wink.

Simply unworthy of a man!
Fang Chen then looked at Shangguan Hong, who was still cheerful, with a pitiful face and said, “You are really being taken advantage of by old man Li!”
……

Liuzhou City
Naval base

Ever since the Feng family withdrew from the official rule over Daxuan, the garrison was established at this time.

The garrison of a state does not participate in the ruling of the state's order. For example, the current ruling order of Liuzhou is dominated by Bashen Sect and Xingliu Valley, with other forces as auxiliary.

This is the best solution for the Feng family and Daxuan. They don't have to fight for it. Just handing power to local tyrants will naturally reduce disputes as much as possible.

The Feng family's goal is to maintain stability. They have received great benefits from the leader of the dynasty, but if chaos breaks out, they will suffer backlash!
After that great change, Daxuan was still able to maintain stability, and this decision was indispensable. Otherwise, facing a tired tiger, many forces would have evil intentions.

This move can also preserve the power of the court as much as possible.

Although there is still some chaos in various places now, it is no big deal in the eyes of the top powerful people.

Although Xu Mao caused a lot of trouble, he did not do so under the banner of "anti-wind". At most, he was just a local tyrant who was rebelling. Moreover, his order not to harm civilians minimized the damage.

That’s why Feng Clan can tolerate him. It’s just a minor incident. Let the people under them have fun on their own. Most people in Feng Clan probably have this mentality.

In this situation, if nothing major happens in the state, the garrison will generally not intervene. Their duty is to suppress the source of monsters in the state, and they will go to where the battle is at a disadvantage.

It can be considered as the nature of a firefighter.

After all, demons are cunning, and demon lords from other territories often attack other passages, so the flexibility of guarding is very important.

Ever since the great war forty years ago, Daxuan as a whole has suffered heavy losses, and the demons also know this, so the intensity of the war has risen by more than one level in recent years!
Demons, especially top-level demons such as the Demon Emperor and Demon God, are so keen on invading the Zhenwu Realm not just because of their desire to devour humans.

The relics of the glorious era are their main goal!

The secrets above the seven realms are hidden there, and the demon god is no exception when faced with such an opportunity.

After all, the Demon Source Realm should not be as powerful as the Zhenwu Realm, and the realms above the Seventh Realm are something that the Demon God dreams of.

"Ugh!"

Ye Yuying leaned on the desk, rubbing her brows with her jade fingers. She looked at the desk piled with letters and looked like she had a headache.

"It's not just the Shangguan family!"

She was speechless. Are these people crazy? They have access to the demon source at home, so why do they all have to come to Tongcheng to join in the fun?

If this goes on, wouldn't it be nonsense for her to say that it is only limited to Liuzhou?
"My lord, I'm afraid these people have ulterior motives!" A woman in a red dress beside her reached out and took the letter, looked at it and said with a smile.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Ye Yuying asked puzzledly.

"Haha, each of these forces is the youngest generation of the faction, and most of them are women. Think about it?" The woman in the red dress blinked.

Ye Yuying was startled, and suddenly murmured, "Are they interested in that boy Fang Chen?"

"Hmm! That should be correct!" Ye Yuying was even more puzzled: "Don't they know what kind of person Li Guiyuan is? I don't think this guy is a good person either. Are they jumping into the fire pit themselves?"

"Sir! Li Guiyuan back then could not be compared with Fang Chen!" said the woman in the red skirt seriously.

"Um……"

Ye Yuying thought about it and nodded. It was indeed true. Back then, Li Guiyuan was at most the first on the ordinary genius list.

Daxuan has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and there is no shortage of such people. Ninety-nine percent of them cannot pass the level of Yunshen, let alone be granted a title of nobility!

But Fang Chen is different. He has achieved so much at such a young age and his future is limitless. Obviously, many forces are willing to bet on his future.

Besides, this is not really a gamble. Fang Chen is almost certain to break through the barrier of the soul in the future. It is just a matter of time. He also has a certain hope of being awarded the title of marquis. Even Jun Tian...

It is quite difficult for a royal family to train a powerful marquis. Often, after the previous marquis dies, there is still no next one to take his place.

There are many examples of these countries that can only decline in the end.

"Haha, you've made me a little moved." Ye Yuying said with a smile.

"Then you have to work hard. You don't even have any children now." The woman in the red dress took the opportunity to persuade him.

"Hmm? Why do you need an heir? Isn't it good enough for me to take the throne myself? Who dares to compete with me?"

Ye Yuying slammed the table and said in a domineering tone.

The woman in the red dress shook her head helplessly: "Stop joking. Also, you should pay attention to your reputation!"

"Tsk, don't worry about it. Those who gossip behind my back are all villains. If you have the guts, let them speak in front of me!" Ye Yuying replied indifferently.

"Alright! Forget it, Fang Chen is definitely not a good person. Since they like to throw themselves into the fire, let them be!"

Waving her hands, Ye Yuying looked at the table full of letters and said impatiently.

three days later

Demon Slayer City Hall

Fang Chen looked at Shangguan Hong who was in tears but couldn't, and laughed secretly in his heart.

He looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache sitting on the guest seat in the hall, and Li Guiyuan, with a head full of white hair, was accompanying him.

Fang Chen was speechless. Everyone else liked to act young, but only Old Man Li liked to act old. Especially when he saw Shangguan Hong imitating him and making his hair and beard all white, he wanted to laugh.

Who is the father after all?
"Hehe, my dear nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as charming as ever!" Shangguan Qing looked at Li Guiyuan awkwardly.

The latter was also a little embarrassed, but his face remained calm: "Uncle, thank you for the compliment!"

Hearing Li Guiyuan's address, Shangguan Qing felt even more helpless. This kid is still so out of touch!
Then he saw Shangguan Hong's expression and was furious: "You bastard, are you older than me? What a shame!"

Shangguan Hong was confused. Why were they suddenly involving me again?
Li Guiyuan remained calm and pretended not to hear that he was making indirect accusations.

"Humph!"

Shangguan Qing snorted coldly, but this was not the main reason why he came here in person, so he was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore.

He turned his gaze towards Fang Chen, with a smile on his face like a flower blooming: "This is my nephew Fang Chen, right?"

Fang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Fang Chen greets Senior Shangguan...?"

He hesitated and didn't know what to call her for a moment.

"Well, if you don't mind, you can also call me uncle. Let's talk about our own things." Shangguan Qing waved his hand and said kindly.

"Yes, Shangguan...Uncle!" Fang Chen hesitated for a moment, and only spoke after seeing Old Man Li nod slightly.

Powerful warriors have long lifespans, so the seniority can be confusing, but it’s never wrong to call someone a senior no matter what the circumstances.

Since Shangguan Qing asked for it, Fang Chen would have no objection, but why did this person suddenly think of him?

"Haha, great! Nephew Fang is indeed a handsome man!"

Shangguan Qing laughed loudly, and the more he looked at Fang Chen, the more satisfied he became. At the same time, he sighed in his heart. He had many children, but unfortunately the ones with better talents had never started a family, so naturally they had no descendants.

The several young women brought this time were all carefully selected from the clan. They were not only young and beautiful, but also talented. However, the only drawback was that many of them were from side branches.

Then he remembered what his father said and sighed helplessly, "Well, after all, we are all family, it's better than letting outsiders get the upper hand."

After Shangguan Qing greeted him, he looked at Shangguan Hong again. Although he had some ideas in his mind, as the legitimate son of a prince, it was impossible for him to directly sell his younger girl to Fang Chen. He still had to save some face!
"You bastard, you should stay in Demon Slaying City for now. Your grandfather has already said that you should train well here and don't bring shame to the Marquisate!"

Shangguan Hong was startled, and when he looked up he saw Li Guiyuan who seemed to be smiling, and then he immediately began to grit his teeth, "You bastard!"
"What? Do you have any objections?" Shangguan Qing frowned.

"No!"

Shangguan Hong stared at Li Guiyuan fiercely and spoke word by word.

"Humph!"

Shangguan Qing snorted coldly and turned to look at Li Guiyuan: "Little Li, I'm leaving those useless descendants of my Shangguan family to you, including this brat, you can discipline him as you please!"

Li Guiyuan suppressed his smile and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Junior Brother Shangguan."

"Well, I'm relieved!"

Shangguan Qing patted Li Guiyuan's shoulder kindly, which made the old man look embarrassed and Fang Chen almost laughed out loud.

Should!
In his heart, he decided to learn from Old Man Li's experience and never get involved in any emotional matters. These things were too annoying!
