RETURNING FROM THE IMMORTAL WORLD

Chapter 1341 - Chapter 1350

Chapter 1341: Tracking and Pursuit

 

With the war preparation currently undergoing in the Great Tang Empire and drilling millions of cultivators, the number of resources required was, without a doubt, astronomical. Even though the resources obtained after slaying Myriad Thunder Supreme, 6 Perfected Golden Immortals, and tens of Golden Immortals had solved the urgent needs of the Great Tang Empire, the number was still far from enough after calculating the long-term overhead cost.

Tang Xiu left the Misty Spring Ocean without taking too many people and was only accompanied by 2 Perfected Golden Immortals: Star Tears and Sablefiend Scorpio. Even when he left, aside from the tens of Perfected Golden Immortals, he announced to the others that he was closing up to cultivate.

****

Renault City, Immortal Lyceum.

Tang Xiu descended outside the city and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes when he saw hundreds of heavily armed Immortal soldiers. These soldiers were currently doing an inspection and asking each person who entered the city with cold faces.

"Show your Jade Slip Pass."

As Tang Xiu came to the city gate with the stream of people, a soldier pursed his brows coldly and his eyes lingered on him.

Tang Xiu took out a Jade Slip Pass and handed it to him.

"Where did this come from?" The soldier glanced at the Jade Slip Pass and asked with a slight frown.

"The Misty Spring Ocean," answered Tang Xiu.

The soldier's eyes flashed a gleam and he lightly asked, "Are you a member of the Great Tang Empire?"

"I am," said Tang Xiu with a smile.

"Do remember that you're not allowed to engage in any wrongdoings, nor are you allowed to fight with anyone in Renault City!" the soldier said. "If you run into your enemies here, either you leave the city to solve your feud or directly go to the Convict Arena to fight them. Anyone who breaks the rules will be apprehended and executed by the Immortal Guardian Force."

"There were no such rules or whatever in Renault City before, no?" asked Tang Xiu.

"Hmph." The soldier coldly snorted. "Renault City's rules were formulated more than a year ago and have now been applied in every city under the Immortal Lyceum's sphere of influence. You don't need to enter the city if you think these rules are unreasonable."

It seems Bella has started to clean the outsiders in the Immortal Lyceum's sphere of influence according to my ideas. With her orders, the Great Tang Empire's army will likely occupy a lot of territories under the Immortal Lyceum soon.

Then again, after the Great Tang Empire absorbed the entire territory of Immortal Lyceum, its hundreds of thousands of Immortal troops will also become the Great Tang Empire's army. In the next 10 years, it's very likely that the Great Tang Empire will occupy a territory twice as large as the current Immortal Lyceum. Our military strength will also double at that time.

Tang Xiu took back his Jade Slip Pass. After entering the city along with the streams of people, he couldn't help but forced a smile inwardly.

But then again, the larger the territory occupied by the Great Tang Empire, the larger the size of the legion will be, and the greater the resources needed in the future. The Great Tang Empire won't be short on resources in the next decade, but if we don't have huge income in resources during this time, we'll likely be unable to make ends meet.

After a long time, only then did Tang Xiu cast away all kinds of thoughts in his mind and looked around at the bustling and prosperous scenes in the city blocks. He didn't bring any Immortal Stones, Immortal Crystals, or Crystal Essences when coming outside with Star Tears and Sablefiend Scorpio this time. He gave all the wealth he robbed from Myriad Thunder Supreme to Gu Xiaoxue previously.
