The Yin-Yang Academy in the divine realm is independent of the Jake King, not under its jurisdiction, which has led to many departnts within the empire engaging in both open and covert struggles with the Yin-Yang Academy!
The Yin-Yang Academy produces outstanding individuals, and each is the cream of the crop, while those who do not enter the Yin-Yang Academy but join critical departnts of the empire are usually scions of noble families.
For instance, the man and woman just ntioned, both have significant backgrounds, and the Military chanism Departnt is an extrely powerful departnt within the empire, so when they enter various states or counties, they walk with head held high.
The Military chanism Departnt manages and collects both internal and external intelligence, and has the authority to dispose of anyone below the rank of marquis, and even secretly monitors the Yin-Yang Academy, so the departnt is not only filled with strong individuals but also instills fear in many.
Very few people dare to provoke those from the Military chanism Departnt.
However, few does not an none, as many students from the Yin-Yang Academy often provoke the Military chanism Departnt; the open and covert struggles between the academy and the departnt are widely known!
"Rhett White, watch your words!" The woman and man simultaneously looked grim, and the woman continued to shout, "Rhett White, this place has already been taken over by our Military chanism Departnt, please leave imdiately, or it will be no rcy!"
"Oh, oh, oh～" The Yin-Yang Academy student Rhett White smacked his lips and said, "No rcy, do you think your Military chanism Departnt is all-powerful? Let tell you, this Pavilion Mansion is also taken over by our academy, so you must leave imdiately!"
"Are you talking nonsense?" The man shouted angrily, "We are carrying out official duties, and you dare to interfere?"
"Wilcox the Sixth, stop pretending to be soone important, you’re carrying out official duties, and we’re not? We are also here by the dean’s order, to investigate traces of the demonic, slaying monsters and demons is also the task of our Yin-Yang Academy!"
"Rhett the Third, you’re seeking death!" The man called Wilcox the Sixth, and Rhett White is called Rhett the Third, it seems quite clear that the two possibly knew each other since childhood, but they belong to different factions, so it’s only natural they clash upon eting!
"Whosh～" Wilcox the Sixth stomped his feet, leaping directly towards Rhett White!
The woman followed and leapt up, clearly intending to fight two against one!
However, just at that mont, several streaks of light suddenly flashed by, all landing on the rooftops around Rhett White!
The charging Wilcox the Sixth and the woman abruptly stopped, their faces looking even more unpleasant.
"Miss Wilcox, Mr. Wilcox, we are indeed investigating traces of the demonic, our goals align, so let’s stop fighting!" One of the newcors, a man about thirty years old, had fair skin, held a fan, wore white robes, and appeared wealthy and noble!
"Boss, these two fools were just scamd out of a hundred Spirit Stones by a bumpkin. Are the brains of people from the Military chanism Departnt all malfunctioning?" Rhett White giggled.
"Rhett the Third, are you done humiliating us?" The woman scolded.
"Alright, alright." The man in white robes waved his hand with a smile, "To dare scam Spirit Stones from the Military chanism Departnt, this person must be extraordinarily bold!"
"Hmph!" The Wilcox siblings snorted coldly in unison, their faces flushed with anger, furious at the villain who scamd their Spirit Stones earlier.
"Miss Wilcox, how’s your investigation going?" The man in white robes suddenly changed the subject, as such a trivial amount as a hundred Spirit Stones was beneath their notice.
Even the Wilcox siblings would never concern themselves over rely a hundred Spirit Stones!
"Why should we report to you, Mr. Yuan, about our investigation?" The woman smirked coldly.
"Alright, alright, if you don’t want to tell, I will!" The gentleman in white robes spread his hands, "Based on our preliminary investigation, the enemy numbers at most five hundred, with individuals of the Divine Monarch Realm, zombies, and a few demonic beasts. They approached from the due south, attacked the city, and then moved westward into the swamp forest, so our next step is to enter the swamp forest to capture them!"
"Let’s go!" Miss Wilcox did not wait for Mr. Yuan to finish, because what Mr. Yuan said matched their own investigation, and they also planned to enter the swamp forest, so they did not want the Yin-Yang Academy to seize the first accomplishnt!
Mr. Yuan in white robes smiled gently, then followed with his people towards the swamp forest in the west!
...
anwhile, Yusuf Zuck handed a hundred Spirit Stones to Joy Webb and continued traveling south.
Joy Webb and others were both scared and happy at this ti, scared that the Military chanism Departnt would co looking for them, but happy because they now had a fortune of a hundred Spirit Stones.
With these hundred Spirit Stones, they would have enough for all eleven of them to eat and drink well for several years!
"Young master, will the people from the Military chanism Departnt co after us?" Joy Webb asked anxiously.
"They probably won’t!" Yusuf Zuck shook his head and said, "In fact, for so, a hundred Spirit Stones are no different from a hundred Divine Coins."
"Why did you scam them out of a hundred Spirit Stones, young master?" Sarah Webb asked, puzzled.
"Because they’re easy to trick. They’re like a governnt, and the governnt has endless wealth, whereas we can’t scam ordinary people, so tricking the governnt isn’t much, plus, it’s only a hundred Spirit Stones!"
"Only a hundred?" Everyone was speechless, considering that the total wealth of the Webb Family fort probably wasn’t worth a hundred Spirit Stones!
"By the way, how long will it take to reach the Prefecture Governnt?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly asked.
"It’ll probably take about a year. We are in North Mountain County, which has thirty-three Pavilion Mansions. Here is the map of North Mountain County, we are approximately here!" Joy Webb took out a roughly drawn map with markings of mountains and cities.
Just a glance at the map left Yusuf Zuck astounded by the sheer size of North Mountain County!
The Webb Family fort in the Great Jade Mountain was only in the central mountainous area of North Mountain County, and the entire North Mountain County was larger than a super planet!
To know, North Mountain County is a county under a state, and this state has thirty-three counties.
The state is also under the jurisdiction of a marquis’ domain, with the marquis’ domain hosting thirty-three such states!
Which ans, the map ford by connecting the divine realm’s thirty-three marquis’ domains is likely larger than the starry sky, such an infinitely vast divine realm!
"Young master, it’s almost dark, should we set up camp here or head past Cloud Valley first?" Joy Webb pointed to a mark on the map, "Ahead is Cloud Valley, it stretches nearly a hundred miles, and once inside there’s no light, it’s actually a tunnel carved out of a massive mountain, where demonic beasts often roam, and it’s said there are interconnected tunnels where anyone lying in ambush is hard to spot!"
"Since it’s dark inside, what’s the difference between traveling by day or night? Also, why don’t we just go over the mountaintop?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.
"Of course, there’s a difference." Joy Webb answered, "Traveling by day, the temperature is normal, but at night, Cloud Valley becos bone-chillingly cold and can freeze people to death!"
"As for why not travel over the mountaintop, it’s because there are no paths, only thickets, and the mountaintop is even more dangerous, because there are maze formations there. Anyone entering will get lost among the thickets on the mountaintop and eventually perish inside!"
As Yusuf Zuck spoke with Joy Webb, he was already looking towards the mouth of Cloud Valley, where before them stood a towering mountain blocking the path, with the official road carved through it!
At the mouth of Cloud Valley, seemingly, many people were setting up camp!
