Chapter 514: Chapter 514: The Envoy from the Black Flame Empire

Fang Jie’s breakthrough to the Gold level was not at all concealed; instead, it was directly announced to all the senior members.

It was Fang Jie’s own decision, as he noticed that with the development of the Territory, those high-level individuals within seemed to have given up on cultivation, becoming increasingly lazy toward it.

This wouldn’t do. Although Fang Jie didn’t need them to be very strong, they at least had to have some strength.

Otherwise, should a beheading operation wipe out a batch of them, his entire Territory would suffer massive upheaval.

So Fang Jie made his power breakthrough public in order to stimulate some change in them. Upon hearing of Fang Jie’s breakthrough, their enthusiasm for cultivation instantly surged.

Originally from Earth, their talents weren’t bad, and they could cultivate this quickly.

Having arrived here less than two years ago, Fang Jie’s breakthrough to the Gold level was much faster than most.

Reaching the Gold level was different from the other levels. Just the extension of lifespan that came with the Gold level was enough to make others envious. Having gained such great authority, it would be a pity if one didn’t live long.

Some people had considered becoming Vampires or Undead, but if they could extend their lifespan as Humans, who would want to transform themselves? Changing into other species always felt a bit awkward.

It remained unknown how long this trend would last.

Of course, another reason was that with Fang Jie’s breakthrough, the entire Territory had become more secure.

In the future, it would be almost impossible for anyone to make a move against their Lord. A Gold level Mage with many tricks up his sleeve had a definitively strong ability to protect himself.

Likewise, some people understood that the Territory Upgrade seemed to be somewhat related to one’s own strength.

As the Lord’s strength increased, so too could the Territory, which would undoubtedly lead to more changes.

They didn’t know the specifics but could feel the strength of the Territory continuously growing.

Now, Fang Jie kept his Skeleton Labor continuously building and experimenting. This was a long-term, large-scale project that wouldn’t show immediate changes, so all Fang Jie needed to do was keep investing in it.

As for his Ghost Servants, he had directly replaced them with a new batch, making the Lord Mansion even more normal and natural.

Meanwhile, the cultivation of the Blood Servants had become focused. From now on, Blood Servants would only be cultivated from those with an Innate Black Iron Level, to ensure their strength wouldn’t be wasted.

As days passed, this year’s winter was especially fiery.

Not a single person settled down for the winter, instead, there was an endless stream of tasks. The entire Territory was bustling, with people everywhere busy with their own matters, seemingly busier than usual.

The farm work had been taken over by units of farmers, freeing others to do much more.

Thus for them, winter seemed no different from any other season, just a bit colder.

This winter was unique for most people. But within this environment, a team from the North slowly made its way to Feifeng City.

Approaching from the sea, they disembarked and announced their identity directly upon arrival at Feifeng City.

"Fang Jie, you must come to Feifeng City immediately. There’s a very important matter here."

"You’re kidding, I’ve only just returned not long ago, and now I have to get busy again?" Fang Jie, previously caught up in a flurry of tasks, hadn’t expected to be pulled back in just after his breakthrough.

"This time it’s not about work, but there’s something you must personally handle."

"Can’t you handle it? Exactly what matters need me there?"

Fang Jie was puzzled because, all along, the only thing that seemed to require his presence was military matters. Although the native troops were strong, they didn’t compare to the specially created types of troops.

"It’s the Black Flame Empire; the Black Flame Empire has sent an Envoy."

Fang Jie frowned, "You’re kidding. Have they noticed us? That wouldn’t be good at all."

"I’ve already probed it. They don’t know much about us. They think the strongest in the South are the Undead, followed by Humans and Elves, and both Humans and Elves are groups they can rally."

"Is that so? So, they intend to have us join their Camp?"

"It doesn’t seem like it, more like they’re here to cooperate. Mainly, if we join, they’d have to give us benefits, something they don’t seem willing to do. They want us to help suppress the Undead but don’t wish for the Undead to be wiped out."

A balance and containment, indeed the work of these so-called higher-ups.

If they knew we were all from the same force, heaven knows what they’d do.

We have to thank those Elves for their arrogance, or else they might have really been able to find out the situation. Recently, there’s been a lot of movement in the Southern region; if one delves deeper, some things simply can’t be concealed.

After all, the fact that the populace isn’t afraid of the Undead is bound to make some realize that something’s wrong.

"Alright, I got it, I’ll be right over."

Fang Jie thought for a moment, set aside what he was doing, and went directly to Feifeng City through the Material Warehouse. As soon as he arrived, Qin Lan whisked him away.

"What are you doing? It’s just a meeting."

"After all, it’s the Empire; we have to show we take it seriously. We can’t let them think less of us or believe that we underestimate them. Although we’re not weak, we don’t have the most powerful Strength."

As Qin Lan spoke, she instructed the servants to get Fang Jie spruced up.

Fang Jie was always neat, but never finely dressed.

Now professionally done up, Fang Jie looked in the mirror and barely recognized himself. "Was I always this handsome?" His eyes brightened.

He knew it wasn’t just his natural looks; the main reason was his cultivation. As he cultivated and his strength increased, his whole body underwent various changes, with his physique and appearance being refined.

It was the same for others; the stronger they were, the better they usually looked.

"Okay, stop admiring yourself. You still fall short of the Elves."

Fang Jie looked at Qin Lan and nodded. Now, Qin Lan was eighty percent Elf Bloodline. Her appearance and aura were simply beyond normal human comparison, appearing almost angelic.

The only unique aspect was her pointed ears. The hallmark of the Elf Bloodline was something that couldn’t be changed.

"Alright, now take me to them, and tell me what I need to be aware of." Fang Jie began to prep for the meeting.
