“Commander Liu, what’s the matter?” Jiang Li received contact from Commander Liu.
In the picture, Commander Liu stood with his hands behind his back, watching a strong hawthorn tree and praising it for its good growth.
“Hall Master, I heard that you cultivated this hawthorn tree? You can’t abandon it halfway, trees also have feelings.”
Commander Liu said seriously, reminding Jiang Li to finish what he started: “I have a ‘Hawthorn Tree Planting Handbook’ here, shall I present it to you, Hall Master?”
“… You’re contacting me via the Remote Communication Talisman, surely it’s not just about the hawthorn tree, right?” Jiang Li was speechless, although he was very interested in this book, considering it’s coming through the Remote Communication Talisman, he couldn’t obtain the book.
“Well, under your guidance, Hall Master, Leader Mu and the Gu Clan Chief have reached the Nascent Soul Stage and are ready to get married.”
“The wedding was originally scheduled for a few days ago, but the chaos in Bahuang delayed it until now.”
“When is the wedding scheduled?”
“In three days, at the Gu Clan Tribe.”
Bai Hongtu stuck his neck out and appeared in front of Commander Liu: “Commander Liu, did you invite me?”Bai Hongtu put on an obedient front in front of Commander Liu.
Commander Liu had seen Bai Hongtu rise from a vibrant Human Emperor candidate to being persecuted by both Jiang Li and Yu Yin, to his ultimate defeat at Jiang Li’s hands, and had to reluctantly became the leader of Dao Sect.
When Bai Hongtu chose to return home to be the Sect Master, the previous Sect Master of Dao Sect was happy to retire immediately and enjoy his leisure life.
Indeed, the retirement of the previous Sect Master of Dao Sect proved to be a wise decision. Under Bai Hongtu’s leadership, the Dao Sect became stronger and grew rapidly.
Commander Liu laughed: “Of course, I just haven’t informed you yet.”
Commander Liu, having extensive experience with deceit, knew that Bai Hongtu’s obedience was all an act.
“Since both of you are here, is Yu Yin probably nearby too?”
“Commander Liu, I’m here.”
Yu Yin’s demeanor was no longer as cold as before, as during his time as a Human Emperor candidate, Commander Liu took good care of him.
When the old Human Emperor hung Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu up to beat them, Commander Liu would come forward and take Yu Yin to another place, so he wouldn’t have to watch such a bloody scene. He was very considerate.
“You should also attend Leader Mu’s wedding.”
“Okay.”
…
“The Great Witch Country, we haven’t been here for a long time. I remember saying I wanted to explore the Gu Clan’s Secret Realm. I was about to go when you two dragged me away,” said Bai Hongtu.
The Great Witch Country is the gathering place of the Witch Clan. The strength of the Witch Clan can be directly seen through their tattoos. Zhang Konghu, the strongest Witch, has tattoos covering his entire back.
Showcasing one’s strength is a tradition in the Great Witch Country. Walking on the street, you’ll see many topless Han men showing off the tattoos on their chests, backs, arms, and heads.
A thousand years ago, there was a dynasty called the Witch’s Imperial Dynasty. Later, due to internal struggles, it split into the Great Witch Country and the Lesser Witch Country, with the Gu Clan located in the Great Witch Country.
The current ruler of the Great Witch Country is the brother of Zhang Konghu, although their relationship isn’t good.
The three had indeed not been here for a long time. In Bai Hongtu’s memory, the three of them once visited the Great Witch Country together during the Nascent Soul Stage and completed a mission concerning the Secret Realm.
“Indeed, I remember you two had a dispute with the Monarch of the Great Witch Country. You said that since the Monarch of the Great Witch Country called himself a lonely man, should the empress call herself a widow?” Yu Yin also remembered this incident.
“At that time, the Crown Prince of the Great Witch Country monopolized the Secret Realm, wanted to enjoy it alone and forbade others from entering. You two couldn’t stand it and scolded him on the spot.”
Bai Hongtu looked at Yu Yin: “Don’t trivialize the issue. We only cursed, you were the one who started the fight.”
Jiang Li continued recalling: “The Crown Prince’s guards immediately struck, and Bai Hongtu and I also reacted quickly. Thanks to our joint efforts, we managed to antagonize the Monarch of the Great Witch Country.”
“Among the three of us, one was a wanderer of Dao Sect, and one was the fiancee of the Prince of Tianyuan, both of whom he couldn’t offend. So he chose me, an easy target.”
Yu Yin remembered that the Monarch of the Great Witch Country referred to Jiang Li as a fool in a very derogatory manner when speaking.
Bai Hongtu was infuriated, and sarcastically said, if the Monarch of the Great Witch Country referred to himself as a widower, should the empress declare herself a widow?
Seeing the expression of the Monarch of the Great Witch Country, Yu Yin speculated that he had the impulse to wage war with the Dao Sect.
Fortunately, their own weakness made the Monarch of the Great Witch Country realize that they did not have the qualifications to go to war with Dao Sect, nor could they afford to offend a Dao Sect wanderer.
Seeing that both Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin were shielding Jiang Li, the Monarch of the Great Witch Country could only swallow his pride and let Jiang Li go.
They were all candidates for the Human Emperor, they couldn’t afford to make enemies.
“What was the name of the founder of the Witch Imperial Dynasty, the first Witch Emperor? Was it Witch Ice or Witch Water?”
“It’s called Witch Han.”
“Oh, right, I remember now. The Immortal Witch Han, a rare body cultivator. The Witch Clan was once a strong clan in the Immortal Realm, with a Golden Immortal at its helm.”
“Then, with the battle of Golden Immortals, the Golden Immortal of the Gu Clan fell, and the Witch Clan collapsed, never producing another Golden Immortal.”
“Witch Han ascended from Jiuzhou to naturally join the Immortal Realm’s Witch Clan, then became a Heavenly Immortal, the new Clan Leader of the Witch Clan.”
The trio saw a crowd gathering not far away, with people lined up outside.
“Is this… the Great Zhou Office in the Great Witch Country?!”
“So, are these people outside the office looking to join Great Zhou?”
There was a display board at the entrance of the office, listing the benefits of joining the Great Zhou Dynasty as well as the application process.
The most eye-catching part of the benefit package was the guarantee of a fair and just living environment.
The Great Zhou official at the door shouted: “Once your paperwork is complete, please wait a few more days. In a few days, the Great Zhou Imperial City will establish a space passage here, and then you can go directly to Great Zhou.”
Previously, due to limited access to the space passage, it could not cover the Great Witch Country. With the advancement of technology, space passages will be established across Jiuzhou.
In the Jiuzhou continent, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a place many mortals and cultivators yearn for, and the population of Great Zhou is increasing year by year.
Despite the overall improvement in Jiuzhou under Jiang Li’s guidance, other dynasties and major powers still don’t compare to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The two constables saw the long line outside the Great Zhou office and sighed. In the past, when they walked down the street, vendors were afraid of them causing trouble and would proactively give them things, pleading with them to take them. How glorious they used to be.
But not anymore.
Relocation is a freedom of mortals and cultivators that no one can obstruct. The Great Witch Country has tried many ways to retain people, but none have been effective. In the end, they had to follow Great Zhou’s example, implementing law and order to bring structure to the country.
Officials and constables no longer dared to be arrogant and forceful in their demands.
Not only is the Great Witch Country like this, but other dynasties and major countries also tend to learn from Great Zhou. Nowadays, with the popularization of space passages making travel more convenient, more and more people will choose to live in Great Zhou if measures are not taken.
For example, the Great Yong Dynasty. When the Spiritual Treasure gained sentience, it wanted to leave the Great Yong and head to Great Zhou, forcing the Great Yong Dynasty to change its policies.
The Great Yong Dynasty today has also changed from what it was before.
It was a move born out of desperation, but for the people of Jiuzhou, it was a good thing.
