Control Li Huomang and meet Huang Xuanji

Li Huomang was nothing more than an ordinary, unremarkable person.

For Shen Fan, controlling him was as easy as flipping a hand.

For example, using the Heaven and Earth Puppet Score, or directly controlling his Divine Soul, these methods were all effortless.

But Shen Fan's goal was to completely control him within his grasp.

This way, even if someone captured Li Huomang in the future, it would have nothing to do with him.

After a passionate speech, Li Huomang was thoroughly brainwashed by Shen Fan and was wholeheartedly convinced.

Before, Xue Hanzhou might have been the only ray of hope in everyone's hearts.

But from today onwards, Shen Fan had undoubtedly become their rightful leader.

Moreover, Shen Fan did not force them to do anything against their will.

In addition, Li Huomang, as the guard general of Tianjiu City, when he heard that Shen Fan was going to Great Li Kingdom to help them resolve the crisis and overcome the difficulties together,

He did not hesitate and readily agreed, patting his chest.

Especially when he learned that Shen Fan was actually the sworn brother of the Northwest Guardian King,

The light in Li Huomang's eyes flickered, full of admiration and reverence.

At the time of parting, Shen Fan gently patted Li Huomang's shoulder and solemnly said, "You stay here and protect your home and country well. If there's a suitable opportunity, I will definitely introduce you to the Northwest Guardian King. From now on, we are our own people!"

The phrase "our own people," especially being able to become one with his idol,

Li Huomang instantly became so excited that he could not control himself.

...

...

After leaving Tianjiu City,

Shen Fan did not dare to delay for a moment, rushing non-stop to the Great Li Imperial Capital.

Having already made arrangements beforehand, Shen Fan had an unobstructed journey and went directly into the imperial palace.

In the imperial garden, Shen Fan was invited there.

Not long after,

An old man in a Dragon robe slowly walked out.

Beside him was a young man of about fifteen years old.

The young man was also dressed in a Dragon robe, his face still a bit green, but his eyes were firm, subtly revealing some of the old man's demeanor and style.

"Junior Shen Fan greets Senior Royal Xuanji!"

The person who came was none other than Royal Xuanji.

"You are Wind Dao Ling's disciple, Shen Fan?"

"Precisely this Junior!"

"Hmm! Not bad!"

Royal Xuanji sized up Shen Fan, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"When I was guarding Zhan Yue Peak, I was in closed-door Cultivation and couldn't meet you. You won't blame this old man, will you?"

"How could this Junior dare to have such a thought!"

Shen Fan quickly cupped his hands and smiled.

"I have heard about all your matters. You, young man, are very good! You have both brains and courage, and you are both wise and brave in dealing with people. You are truly a rare and good youth!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Fan secretly clicked his tongue.

He didn't expect his evaluation in Royal Xuanji's heart to be so high.

"In addition, I also heard about your deeds from Yannan City. I already know about you saving Yandang City and becoming sworn brothers with Yannan City. It's no exaggeration to say that you are a hero of our Great Li Kingdom!"

"Senior, you flatter me!" Shen Fan responded modestly.

"I am deeply gratified that you can come and lend a hand to our Great Li Kingdom. If you can truly stop the rebel army, I can promise you to go and guard Tianxuan Sect!"

Hearing this, Shen Fan's eyes immediately lit up, and an uncontrollable excitement surged in his heart.

However, he did not boast, but instead said with reservation, "This Junior will do his best!"

"Good!"

Royal Xuanji was overjoyed, and then his expression darkened.

"The Third Prince's rebellion was a long-planned matter. My grandson, upon hearing the news, was shocked and enraged, and unfortunately passed away. Now, only this great-grandson is temporarily acting as regent. I still need some time for him to become familiar with state affairs, and then he will be assisted by the ministers."

"Now, over at Chaoxia City, the rebel army is attacking. Just now in the imperial court, they were still arguing endlessly about this matter."

"Some advocated retreating, others advocated fighting to the death. They discussed all morning and couldn't come to a conclusion!"

"Moreover, there are people from the Mystic Yin Enchantress Sect stationed in the enemy's camp. We don't have a suitable general to go and meet them in battle. How about you lead the troops?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Fan immediately gave a wry smile: "You want me to go and help, that's fine, but leading troops into battle, I have no experience!"

Royal Xuanji encouraged him: "Strength breaks all methods! If you can directly kill the opposing evil Cultivator, our people can launch a full-scale attack, sweeping through like a broken bamboo!"

Hearing this, Shen Fan confidently patted his chest and said, "Leave this problem to me!"

Shen Fan now had Spiritual Artifacts all over him, and his self-confidence swelled to the extreme.

It was a good opportunity to test the power of these Spiritual Artifacts.

"Chaoxia City currently has 120,000 defending soldiers, and I will send another 100,000 reinforcements to you. You lead them to support!"

Royal Xuanji directly took out a tiger tally and said solemnly.

"After you go there, you will hold the imperial decree and directly command the three armies. All soldiers will be under your command!"

Looking at the tiger tally in his hand, Shen Fan instantly felt its heavy weight and responsibility.

"Good! I will do my best!"

Shen Fan said confidently.

Royal Xuanji continued to ask: "In addition, the Blood Refinement Sect and the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect are constantly harassing and causing trouble within our borders. What countermeasures do you have for this?"

Shen Fan pondered for a moment and then said: "Regarding the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect, I can guarantee that they will stop their harassment. But the Blood Refinement Sect, I can't guarantee!"

"Because I dug out many Corpse Puppets in Tianxuan Sect, I can use these Corpse Puppets as bargaining chips to negotiate with them, make them stop, and even help us deal with the rebel army!"

Royal Xuanji was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Really? That's great!"

For a moment, he even forgot to ask Shen Fan where these Corpse Puppets came from.

After all, when he was guarding Zhan Yue Peak, he was guarding these very things!

Afterward, Shen Fan directly led the 100,000 troops to depart.

The journey would take three days.

If Shen Fan traveled alone, he could arrive in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

But leading 100,000 troops required marching on foot.

Moreover, there were slower troops like supply trains accompanying them.

Therefore, it took such a long time.

Shen Fan was stationed in the army, and having nothing to do, he began to study the Corpse Disassembly Great Art that Wind Dao Ling had given him.

The Corpse Disassembly Great Art had already been strengthened by his treasure gathering cosmos bowl.

It was just that this was a secret art that Xue Qiutian himself had comprehended through the Corpse Exchange Great Art,

It originally had no grade distinction.

So, even after being strengthened by the treasure gathering cosmos bowl, it still showed no grade.

However, what made Shen Fan feel regretful was that,

Even the strengthened Corpse Disassembly Great Art,

Its Cultivation conditions were extremely harsh, requiring one to first destroy one's Physical Body before being able to Cultivate.

How harsh were these conditions!

Giving up his Physical Body, Shen Fan would rather not Cultivate!

In a fit of pique, Shen Fan directly threw it into his qiankun bag.

And at this moment, Shen Fan suddenly had a wild idea,

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"I wonder if the treasure gathering cosmos bowl can fuse other Cultivation Techniques with it?"

Thinking of this, Shen Fan immediately took out the Blood Locust Divine Skill and the Blood Soul One Qi Skill, two Cultivation Techniques of the same blood refinement type, and threw them together into the treasure gathering cosmos bowl.

This was also an exploration and development of a new function for the treasure gathering cosmos bowl.

Whether the Fusion would be successful would depend on tomorrow's results!
