At the very least, the Huangzhou Governor of Yunshan State and the Sect Leader of the Azure Dragon Sect wouldn’t make a move in Jinnan City.
"Go, spread the word about the existence of the Auspicious White Fox." As Dongfang Yinghai walked, he ordered, "Seize that Taoist temple from earlier, and establish an auspicious scenic spot centered at that address..."
Dongfang Yinghai could already see countless amounts of silver beckoning to him, and as for King Qin... he surely lacks silver.
In high spirits, Dongfang Yinghai stepped into the courtyard of the Prince Mansion, then suddenly halted, "By the way, what about those royal family mbers imprisoned?"
The eunuch quickly replied, "They’re not causing any trouble now."
"Perfect, kill a few to liven things up." Dongfang Yinghai changed direction: "The Dragon Stealing thod really works, my luck is getting better and better, hahaha..."
"Oh, yes, wasn’t that deputy under Prince Fen dissatisfied with earlier? Let him cause trouble, let him occupy more land, and then just wait for King Qin’s army to pass by, go take care of it."
"As you command!"

The Auspicious White Fox appearing in many southern places beca the best aid in stabilizing the chaos, with nurous cities even showing the scene of citizens opening their gates and welcoming King Qin’s army into the city.
In An Nan City, north of Heluo Pass, Dongfang Xinglan stood silently on the city wall, watching the scene below of citizens spreading word about the Auspicious White Fox, and said faintly, "Well done."
Little White Fox quickly prostrated on the ground, "Master, you overpraise."
Dongfang Xinglan nodded slightly, since the Southwest was stable, dispatching this Little White Fox to the southern states was the most correct way to quell chaos.
A demon beast unseen by the Dynasty’s citizens beca the best proof of the True Destiny Emperor.
Hong Ying, full of joy, approached Dongfang Xinglan from behind, "Your Highness, the Heluo Border Army has completed its full organization, the army can move north or east at any ti, plus with popular support, we don’t need to pay any mind to the Hongn Banquet set up by Huang Daoyun and Zhao Junshan."
"No, I will go." Dongfang Xinglan gently tapped the city wall, "Since Yunshan State is willing to surrender, why not go?"
Hong Ying’s expression slightly changed, "But Zhao Junshan will also be there..."
"It’s alright." Dongfang Xinglan waved her hand, "The Qin Army aims to stop fighting, not wage war, this position cannot change, as for safety... there’s no need to worry, it’s just Zhao Junshan."
Although there had been no recent correspondence with Lu Jin’an, Dongfang Xinglan was clear Lu Jin’an would be there.
And Lu Jin’an definitely had a way to deal with the Martial God, so safety was assured.
Moreover, now that the rumors of the Auspicious White Fox had spread, only by following this rumor could the South be thoroughly stabilized.
Otherwise, the feasibility of using the White Fox for influence would be greatly reduced.
Besides, even though a trap was laid in Jinnan City, they failed to capture , would Shengjing still trust Zhao Junshan, this Martial God?
More importantly, since Yunshan State is located between the Southeast and the South, this state must be secured no matter what, and then we can truly occupy half the empire!
"But..."
"Hong Ying." Dongfang Xinglan interrupted Hong Ying’s voice, "You must imdiately return to the Southwest to handle a matter."
She turned to look at Hong Ying, "Relocate all the citizens from major cities of Jianyuan State to the south."
Upon hearing this, Hong Ying’s expression changed slightly, "Your Highness, there hasn’t been any intelligence of an army heading towards Jianyuan State..."
"Not now, doesn’t an not in the future." Dongfang Xinglan sneered, "Moving hundreds of thousands of troops to the South, how could Shengjing pass up this opportunity?
So you must lead King Yu’s army back for defense, but they may only retreat, not attack, until I’ve secured Yunshan State."
Hong Ying opened her mouth slightly, "What about the other states?"
"Hold fast." Dongfang Xinglan lowered her eyelids slightly, "The army dispatched by Shengjing may be large, but it’s limited, as they also must guard against other rebel armies and Prince Ning, who has remained inactive so far, so holding our ground is not an issue.
Besides, the Southwest royal family will also contribute."
"I, the final general, receive orders."
"Go now." Dongfang Xinglan waved her hand, turning her gaze back to the bustling city, her eyes deep and profound.
She was certain that Shengjing would definitely attack the city built specifically for the Southwest royal family.
By gathering them together for protection, such a ’Dragon Energy Gift Box,’ how could Shengjing not take the bait?
After all, the Southwest royal family were rebels.
Dongfang Xinglan closed her eyes, murmuring under her breath, "Fearless of life and death, knowing no small matters..."
She gripped the edge of the city wall, causing stones to scatter.
"Fight!"
Dongfang Xinglan opened her eyes, leapt off the city tower, a warhorse neighed.
She exited the city, heading towards Yun Mountain.

As Lu Jin’an entered the territory of Yunshan State, the most common thing he heard was the lively discussion about the descent of the Auspicious White Fox and the unification of King Qin.
He even witnessed scenes of mutinous troops, martial artists longing, and families leaving Yunshan State.
These scenes reminded him of the ti his second junior brother, Jiang Wuya, talked about recruiting disciples with Immortal Fate for the Wandao Sect in the mortal world.
Rather similar to the scenes unfolding now.
Seeking the Immortal and inquiring about the Dao for ten-odd years, dreams returning occasionally to touch upon fate.
Lu Jin’an softly exhaled, glanced down at Zhiyu who was diligently morizing acupoints, and a slight smile crept to his lips.
Dongfang Xinglan used this strategy at just the right mont; with this, Jinnan City and Shengjing would surely be in so disarray.
Moreover... the entry of outsiders would inevitably be uncovered.
Perhaps news of the so-called three Venerated Martial Gods knowing of my infiltration into the Eastern Dynasty would soon surface.
But... it was already too late.
Staring at the distant Jinnan City, Lu Jin’an thought that capturing the largest southern city of the Eastern Dynasty would an half the empire would be Dongfang Xinglan’s.
However, what piqued Lu Jin’an’s interest more was another matter.
"The mysterious disappearance of the Dongfang Clan, is it..."
