I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 292: Chapter 141: Setting Out, Hell on Earth

The Southern Border was a place fraught with danger, but it was also a land brimming with opportunity.

At least, that was how it was for him.

Demon and Monster Cores, along with their flesh and blood, were the best kind of Resources.

Seeing everyone’s somewhat dejected mood, Hong Miaojin’s expression remained impassive. Her gaze fell upon Zhang Xuan, who stood to the side. "I will recommend you as the next Marshal. However, you must still work hard and enter the True Essence Realm as soon as possible to truly secure the position!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan was stunned.

"My lady, I’m afraid my Cultivation is insufficient. Won’t this cause trouble?"

"What? You don’t even have the confidence to take this position?" Hong Miaojin shot him a sidelong glance.

Zhang Xuan immediately stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed, his expression serious. "My lady, I am confident!"

Hong Miaojin nodded slightly. "Confidence is all that matters. You don’t need to worry about the rest. People will be there to assist you. At the very least, you have the ability to manage things."

Zhang Xuan was touched. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your guidance, my lady."

’Following a backer like Hong Miaojin is really great.’

Fang Xing sighed in admiration.

If nothing else, she certainly treated her subordinates extremely well.

Even promoting someone unconventionally wasn’t a problem for her.

Given her background and current Cultivation, once she said it, the position was as good as his.

There was no doubt about that!

A Celestial Martial Saint, and Hong Xuanji’s daughter at that—her status and power were more than enough.

Next, Hong Miaojin arranged a few more matters before everyone finally departed.

In the main hall, only Fang Xing remained.

"Prepare yourself over the next few days. I’ll handle the transfer procedures and change of status. We’ll probably leave in three or four days."

Hong Miaojin said, looking at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing nodded. "As you command."

Hong Miaojin looked at him and continued, "The situation in the Southern Border is different. The place we’re going this time is one of the most dangerous. You’d best be mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Fang Xing understood what she was referring to.

Demons and Monsters!

But this was exactly what he wanted.

His thoughts raced. Fang Xing stood up. "Please rest assured, my lady. I will not bring you shame."

Hong Miaojin smiled in satisfaction. "You may go and rest. I will notify you when it’s time to depart."

Fang Xing nodded, then turned and left the main hall.

Watching Fang Xing’s departing figure, Hong Miaojin pondered for a moment. Then, with a flicker, her form vanished from the main hall.

...

"Lord Fang, please wait a moment."

Just as he stepped out of the Marshal’s Mansion and was about to walk out of the Observatory, a voice called out to him.

Fang Xing stopped and looked. A figure was walking toward him.

It was Yuan Tiangang’s steward, Steward Yang.

"Lord Yang, may I ask what you need?" Fang Xing asked after bowing, looking at the steward before him.

Steward Yang beamed, his face friendly. "Lord Fang, it’s nothing from me. The Commander has requested your presence."

’Yuan Tiangang wants to see me...’

The thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind. Without hesitation, he nodded. "Alright, I’ll head over right now."

Steward Yang chuckled and gestured with his hand. "This way, my lord!"

Fang Xing then made his way toward the Commander-in-Chief’s Residence.

...

Soon, he arrived at the Commander’s Mansion.

Passing through a long corridor, Fang Xing came to the front of a courtyard.

In the courtyard, a purple-robed Yuan Tiangang was leisurely brewing tea at a stone table.

"This way, my lord!"

Steward Yang said with a smile from the side.

Fang Xing nodded and stepped into the courtyard.

"Your humble servant, Fang Xing, pays his respects to the Commander!"

Stepping into the courtyard, Fang Xing moved forward, clasped his hands, and bowed.

Yuan Tiangang looked up at him, a smile spreading across his face. "No need to be so formal. Sit."

Fang Xing immediately sat to one side, his body tense.

Although this wasn’t the first time he had met Yuan Tiangang, every encounter brought an invisible pressure that felt like a great mountain weighing down on his Primordial Spirit.

Suppression from his Heaven and Earth Rank!

It was unavoidable. Even with Yuan Tiangang restraining his aura, the surrounding Momentum of Heaven and Earth still made him feel tense.

"Come, try the tea I brewed myself."

Yuan Tiangang said with a gentle smile. As he spoke, a teacup automatically landed in front of him.

The amber-colored tea exuded a faint, fragrant aroma that invigorated the spirit.

Fang Xing lifted the cup and took a sip. A warm current swept through his entire body, and a feeling of clarity seemed to pierce through him.

The fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth!

He took one sip and immediately wanted a second.

It felt as if his very body had been nourished.

"How is it?"

Yuan Tiangang asked with a gentle smile, looking at Fang Xing.

"Commander, this tea is a true treasure!"

Fang Xing spoke from the heart.

This was different from any tea he had drunk before. It wasn’t about the tea leaves, but about a special kind of momentum contained within the water.

The Momentum of Heaven and Earth!

To be able to infuse it into tea—Fang Xing couldn’t help but admire such a profound level of cultivation.

"Haha, it seems you can feel it," Yuan Tiangang said with a laugh.

Fang Xing looked at him and asked softly, "May I ask why the Commander has summoned me?"

"Did that girl Miaojin mention she was preparing to transfer?" Yuan Tiangang asked.

Hearing this, Fang Xing understood at once. He didn’t hide anything and nodded. "Replying to the Commander, yes, that is the case. She just announced that she will likely be heading to the Southern Border in a few days. I will be accompanying her."

"That girl is certainly impatient. But it is indeed time for her to go. That fellow Old Man Yang can’t hold on for much longer."

Yuan Tiangang sighed.

Hearing this, Fang Xing instantly grasped the key piece of information.

The Old Man Yang that Yuan Tiangang mentioned was, if he wasn’t mistaken, the current Commander of Qing Province.

Hong Xuanji had mentioned this before as well.

He had been severely wounded by the Demon Alliance’s Heaven-Covering Demon Saint. His vitality was fading, his Primordial Spirit was gravely injured, and he didn’t have long to live.
