"We followed him because he lost you, Chief. Otherwise, who would want to come here?"
Grandma Ri rolled her eyes at Huo Xing and spoke.
Huo Xing scratched his head awkwardly and said, "My Lord, it was because of my poor protection that you were chased and injured last time.
I also knew that Mumutuo might find some more experts, and I was afraid that I would not be able to protect you alone this time, so I called them all here."
Ye Li smiled and glanced at the three of them, saying, "Thank you so much!"
Huo Xing looked at Ye Li's improved cultivation and said, "I can't believe it. Lord, your cultivation has improved again. It's really too exaggerated.
If you continue to practice like this, I think it won’t be long before you catch up with the three of us.”
Speaking of Ye Li's cultivation, Sun and Moon Second Grandma was also shocked and said, "By the way, how could your cultivation grow so fast? It's incredible!!!"
"Ah, this is also thanks to the last fire soul seal. After refining the soul seal, I entered a state of enlightenment and comprehended dozens of laws in one breath, so I was able to enter the realm of Talisman Emperor in one fell swoop."
Ye Li could only make up a story and blamed it all on the soul seal.
Hearing Ye Li's words, Huo Xing nodded and said, "It seems that the effect of this soul seal is even greater than I thought.
Of course, it may also be that your Lordship has extraordinary comprehension, which allowed him to enter a state of enlightenment. In any case, it is a great joy that your Lordship can make such progress.
By the way, did you get the Fengxing Soul Seal this time, sir?"
At this time, the White Lotus Nation team had already left here, and Ye Li and a few others were the only ones left in the entire Fengxing Soul Seal Land.
Ye Li smiled and nodded, saying: "Luckily, I also got the Fengxing Soul Seal this time.
With this soul seal, my strength should be improved, but I don’t think I will be able to enter the state of enlightenment again in a short period of time.”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Huo Xing looked at Ye Li with admiration and said, "My Lord, you must be a person who has never been seen before and will never be seen again.
Mumutuo's four Talisman Kings and several Talisman Lords were unable to defeat you alone, and all died in your hands. I guess your current strength has surpassed that of an ordinary Talisman King."
Grandma Sun and Moon also praised Ye Li. After all, Ye Li's feat of killing seven people with one blow was too shocking.
"I was just lucky just now. That move can only be used once every ten days, and they just happened to hit me when I could still use it.
If I can't use this move, I will be suppressed and beaten by them."
Ye Li also told the truth.
Huo Xing smiled and said, "Anyway, you have the ability to kill seven of them, which is incredible."
Grandma Riyue also nodded, expressing her full agreement.
The three old men surrounded Ye Li and praised him for a long time, making Ye Li feel a little embarrassed.
"Okay, let's leave here first. By the way, Senior Huo, when will the Land of Thunder be opened, and where will it be opened?"
Ye Li asked everyone to leave, and then asked again.
As they walked and chatted, Huo Xing said, "The Land of Thunder will not be opened until the end of December. The location is Thunder Ridge, which is not close to our Tang Kingdom, but we can go there by water, and we should be there in half a month at most.
After all, the water route is a shortcut and saves a lot of time."
Hearing Huo Xing's words, Ye Li nodded. He vaguely remembered seeing Thunder Ridge on the map before, but he didn't have a very deep impression of it.
Ye Li didn't think much about it. Anyway, he would go with Huo Xing and Riyue Erlao at that time.
The group quickly left the Fengxing Soul Seal site and began to walk back.
On the way back, led by the two grandmothers, Sun and Moon, they passed through the Great Wilderness Swamp again. It took them half a month to finally return to Dongfang County.
Ye Li hadn't seen Dongfang City for three or four months, and it had completely changed in his eyes.
The streets of the entire city have been completely built, most of the shops in the housing planning areas have been completed, and the civilian residential areas are now full of people. The entire city has basically entered the normal operation stage.
When they arrived at the city center, they found that his manor had been renovated and some of its structures had been changed. It now became a lord's mansion and looked very grand.
The guards at the door recognized Ye Li at a glance. They didn't know what happened to Ye Li before, and everyone thought that the lord was out on business. "Lord, you're back!!!"
The guard at the door hurriedly bowed and greeted Ye Li.
Ye Li also smiled and responded with a few words, then ordered: "Help me, Ding Si, Zhang San and all the senior generals who are still in the city will be summoned."
Ye Li hadn't asked about the affairs in Dongfang County for three or four months, so of course he had to come and deal with it.
Ding Si, Qian San and a number of senior generals all showed expressions of great excitement after hearing that Ye Li had returned safely.
They all knew that Ye Li was being hunted and disappeared, and now they were relieved to know that their lord was safe.
A group of people quickly arrived at the lord's mansion. After seeing Ye Li, Ding Si said excitedly: "That's great, Lord, you are fine!!!"
Ye Li looked at him and smiled, saying: "I have always had good luck, so I came back safely.
Thank you for your hard work in these few months. I heard from Senior Huo that you have done a lot for me.
How is the current situation in Dongfang County? I want to hear your report."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ding Si smiled and said, "My Lord, the construction of the city is almost complete, and most of the shops have already opened.
Many original residents of Dongfang County also moved into the city to live, and the villagers rented out the fields and villages outside to a large number of outsiders.
With the emergence of our new city, many people have been attracted to our Dongfang County. The total population of our Dongfang County has at least doubled compared to the past. New villages and towns have appeared in the surrounding areas, and the entire county has become lively.
The city is still a bit deserted for the time being. After all, many residents' houses have not been repaired yet. In a month at most, Oriental City will be bustling again, and by then it will definitely become very prosperous.
We have already discussed with the border guards. Many people outside the Tang border can enter the Eastern City smoothly as long as they have our pass. Therefore, we will basically become the trade hub between this area, the Tang Kingdom and the surrounding forces. Merchants around are very happy to come here to transfer goods."
