Vile Dominion

Chapter 70: Li Gang is captured?

As soon as his alchemy started gaining fame, Li Gang introduced new branches. He started trading formations and forging. The Renhuo brand had already gained fame on the continent, and with this brand, his formations and forging also started spreading.

The Wei Dynasty also saw its boom in finances. It flourished more and more under Renhuo trading, and this is where the problem lay.

Wei Han became alert to the growth of Renhuo trading. The power balance, which was concentrated toward royalty in the Wei Dynasty, was shifting toward Renhuo trading. Even though it was very slow, it was happening.

He could foresee that in the next 50 years, if he didn't do something, Renhuo trading would become powerful enough to overthrow them. However, this was not the only thing he was worried about. The major factor was that he had already seen through Li Gang's scheme.

He realized that Li Gang was introducing spies in the name of 'business'. This is something not difficult to conclude when someone is mass introducing unknown warriors in the name of 'business'.

One day, Wei Han called Li Gang privately to discuss the matter. Even though it was a private talk, how can a king like him stay unprotected?

General Gu Zhen and many other protectors stayed hidden in the shadows.

There are many ways of communication in this world. Among mortals, it is mainly speaking and writing. However, when it comes to warriors, the speed of sound is far slower than their movement and reaction speed. Thus, if they speak with their mouths, it would be too ineffective practically. When a person reaches intermediate warrior status, they learn spiritual communication. They mix spiritual essence into the sound they make. Spiritual essence can accelerate sound up to infinite speed. This is also why light in this world travels at infinite speed. It already contains traces of spiritual essence mixed within it.

The communication between King Wei Han and Li Gang was through sound transmission. This is another method of communication, where a person sends sound in the form of spiritual essence signals, which transform into sound signals when they enter the ears. It is very effective when you want to direct a conversation to a certain person without letting others know. You can direct the signal to any person. However, this method has a heavy drawback, due to which it is not used at higher levels. A person with advanced warrior cultivation has very high senses and processing speed. They can instantly sense such signals as soon as they are released into the air. They can also process them and deduce what the other person is conveying.

Thus, this method is only popular in the Northern Continent. People in other continents also use it, but only around intermediate warriors. Beginner warriors are incapable of using it, and advanced warriors can easily see through it! Of course, there are many geniuses who can use it even at the beginner warrior stage.

Once again, like a few years back, Li Gang was guided by Lord Zhen. This time, to the royal garden.

Li Gang had been here before. He glanced around and found many warriors protecting the place, probably to stop others from interfering with the king's rest.

The royal garden was a peaceful place, filled with rich spiritual essence and pure air. The breath here felt like heaven, with the ability to calm the mind.

Li Gang glanced at various spiritual trees in the garden and appreciated them. These were all at least Rank 3 spiritual trees.

He soon found Wei Han, wearing casual clothes, sitting on a cushion. Even with his casual clothing, no one could question his elegance. He didn't have his usual crown on his head, but a jade hairpin was fixing his long hair.

Wei Han glanced at Li Gang coming toward him and smiled. "Master Ren, please sit."

As he said that, he gestured toward one of the cushions.
