Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 606: Chapter 392: Strongest Divine Country

Zhang Lengzi’s face darkened at those words, and he began to stammer.

Wang Yi raised an eyebrow, his voice dropping. ”What is it? Did something happen to Li Longyu?”

”Well, Madam hasn’t been seen for a century. Rumor has it that when the territory ascended, her spirit wandered beyond the heavens, and she still hasn’t woken up.”

”Hmm? Is that so?”

Wang Yi frowned. He had been disconnected from his territory for a hundred years and genuinely knew nothing about Li Longyu’s situation. Immediately, he wanted to go to the peak of Huaguo Mountain to check on her.

Just then, Xu Qinghuan walked over with his guards, accompanied by a woman in a white dress. She was beautiful, with a sword slung across her back, and exuded an ethereal, otherworldly aura. Everyone around her treated her with utmost respect; even Xu Qinghuan bowed and scraped, eager to please her.

”Here, Auntie, this is the Brother Wang I mentioned to you,” Xu Qinghuan introduced Wang Yi to the woman. ”He’s a good guy and looked out for me. Do you think you could get him a temporary residence permit so he can do some sightseeing in our Divine Country?”

The woman’s identity was self-evident. She was Wang Shijiu’s Dao companion, Xu Huanhuan. In terms of seniority, she was Wang Yi’s daughter-in-law!

Xu Huanhuan, however, first bowed to Zhang Lengzi. ”General Zhang, you’re here too. Do you perhaps know this young Mr. Wang?”

”Greetings, Xu Fairy!” Zhang Lengzi laughed heartily. His own identity was far from simple; he was a Nine-star War General of the Military Affairs Office and held the position of General of Shanhai Pass, overseeing all such passes in the world.

”This is no ’young Mr. Wang.’ He is...”

Just as Zhang Lengzi was about to reveal Wang Yi’s identity, Wang Yi waved a hand to cut him off. He sized up Xu Huanhuan, his first impression of the woman quite favorable.

”My name is Wang Yi!” Wang Yi no longer bothered to hide his identity. ”Wang Shijiu’s father!”

Xu Huanhuan froze, then furrowed her brows. The name Wang Shijiu was unknown to the general public. He was the prince of the strongest Divine Country, possessing heaven-defying cultivation talent. Now the sole disciple of the Mingyu Divine Lord, his cultivation had broken through to the Mahayana realm in less than a century. Known as the Young Venerable, he stood above the masses and below only one person in the Mingyu Divine Country.

”Are you joking, sir? This is not a matter to be taken lightly.” Xu Huanhuan’s expression turned icy. Wang Shijiu’s father was the legendary master of the strongest Divine Country. It was said that an accident occurred during his ascension a century ago, and neither the Mingyu Divine Lord nor the many bigwigs of the Cultivation Alliance could find him. She couldn’t believe the man standing before her was him!

”I’m not joking. Girl, since you are Wang Shijiu’s Dao companion, you’re family. Here is a meeting gift for you. Do me a favor: go to the docks and escort my Wilderness Guard Team into the city, along with a tiger and a bear. Treat them well and settle them in this Mountain and Sea Station for now!”

As he spoke, Wang Yi raised his hand, and a fist-sized, fiery-red jade stone flew over to Xu Huanhuan. It was a top-grade Warm Jade, enhanced to +7. As a premier natural Spiritual Treasure, carrying it provided immense benefits to a cultivator’s practice and supplied an endless stream of Spiritual Power.

”This is...”

Xu Huanhuan had a good eye and immediately recognized the red jade’s immense value. But before she could examine it closely, Wang Yi took a step, flashing onto the starlight arch bridge. Using the light to escape, his figure vanished instantly.

”Huh?” Xu Qinghuan was shocked. Pointing at the spot where Wang Yi had disappeared, he shouted, ”He entered the city! He entered the city! Auntie, did you see that? He flew right over!”

”So noisy!” Xu Huanhuan shot Xu Qinghuan a glare. She took the red jade hovering before her, feeling its extraordinary nature even more acutely. She then quickly cupped her hands toward Zhang Lengzi. ”General Zhang, is he really...”

”Don’t doubt it, it’s absolutely true! Haha, the Great Lord has returned! The whole world should celebrate!” Zhang Lengzi looked thrilled. He turned to Xu Huanhuan. ”You must do a good job with the task the Great Lord assigned you. Come, come, I’ll go to the docks with you. The Great Lord’s guard team is definitely extraordinary.”

Xu Huanhuan respectfully agreed, but a troubled look crossed her face. ”However, I just received an order from my eldest sister. The special envoy from the Cultivation Alliance’s Nine Dragon Divine Country is about to arrive at the docks. They come with ill intentions, and she told me to receive them properly and not neglect them...”

”You silly girl, you can’t tell what’s more important! Of course, the Great Lord’s orders take priority. Let’s go, let’s go. Who cares about some Divine Country envoy? Let them wait. You don’t know how powerful the Great Lord is. Now that he’s here, we no longer have to compromise for the sake of peace. Back in the day, before his ascension, the Great Lord slaughtered his way through everything. He could easily annihilate anyone...”

Zhang Lengzi’s brimming confidence left Xu Huanhuan stunned.

Xu Qinghuan, listening from the sidelines, was completely lost. He muttered to himself, wondering about this so-called guard team. Weren’t they just a bunch of migrating refugees carrying straw mats and pots and pans? As for that bear and tiger, weren’t they just exotic animals for show? Could they actually be powerful?

Xu Qinghuan was now considered half a resident of the strongest Divine Country, so he followed Xu Huanhuan and Zhang Lengzi as they hurried to the docks.

Meanwhile, Wang Yi stepped onto the river of starlight, speeding along its glow. Ignoring everything else, he quickly arrived at the peak of Huaguo Mountain. The mountain had undergone massive changes. It was much taller and more majestic, with lush forests and many giant trees. At the summit, the Lord Mansion had transformed into a massive ecological castle, intertwined with nature, giving it a profound sense of age.

As soon as Wang Yi arrived, an ape with wings on its back, wearing Golden Battle Armor and wielding a Golden Cudgel, flashed before him. At the same time, the earth trembled, emitting a deep RUMBLE.

The newcomer was none other than the ruler of the Huaguo ecology—the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

As the ecological ruler, he rarely showed himself. Even Jelena and the others couldn’t command him; it was difficult for them to even catch a glimpse of him. He was a transcendent existence hidden in the shadows.

However, with Wang Yi’s return, this ecological ruler wouldn’t dare fail to welcome him. After he knelt and bowed, numerous ecological earth deities quickly popped up from the ground around him: Clucking Hens, Road-building Snails, Peach Tree Spirits, Little Spirit Monkeys, and so on. They arrived via ecological teleportation, quickly forming a vast and mighty gathering.

This was a powerful ecological army, but they usually remained hidden in the dark. Many territory residents didn’t even know of their existence, yet they were one of the most important pillars of the strongest royal court today.

”You may step down!” Wang Yi nodded. Taking another step, he entered the Lord Mansion.

The layout of the rooms inside the Lord Mansion had changed, but Wang Yi quickly found Li Longyu. She lay quietly on a Jade Bed, surrounded by blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies. This was an ecological room—beautiful, naturally harmonious, and presenting the most suitable environment for its occupant.

”Little Li!”

Wang Yi frowned. Possessing the divine ability of insight, and with his true body residing high in the ninth dimension, he immediately noticed that something was wrong with Li Longyu.
