Chapter 626: Chapter 4: The Shock of the Military Minister of Agriculture Brought by Mr. Zhao (15,000) _7

Because it was already 7:45 PM, and yet no Heavenly Horse had returned.

According to the usual regulations, all Heavenly Horses should have returned to their nests by the end of You hour.

"There must be something wrong." Tao Anchun quickly ordered the food supplies to be transported into the Heavenly Horse Palace.

After clearing the cargo, the flying boat became much lighter.

Tao Anchun hurriedly jumped onto the flying boat, "Mr. Zhao, please wait here. Allow me to go find Ling Ruoxue and Cao Jiang."

"Together." Zhao Xing also swiftly jumped onto the flying boat.

Land Island was vast, ten times bigger than Gucheng, this upper county.

Yet much of it was wild, making the Earth Mirror useless in the wilderness. However, the Ministers of Agriculture had their own means of communication.

Then there was ’Cloud Skill.’

Not long after Tao Anchun jumped onto the flying boat, he pointed towards the sky.

A Seasonal Order floated up, illuminating the gradually darkening sky once more.

This was ’Reversing Time;’ today, the daylight would be one hour longer than the night.

By the next morning, another use of the Seasonal Order would delay the sunrise by one hour, restoring the ’Heavenly Time.’

Meanwhile, Tao Anchun cast his Cloud Skill.

In the sky, countless clouds started to form a communication signal.

There were arrows representing directions, trigrams representing coordinates, and even words.

Simultaneously, Tao Anchun used Wind Skill to shout Ling Ruoxue and Cao Jiang’s names in all directions.

His Cloud Skill had a considerable range but it was still insufficient.

Two quarters later, there was still no response.

When Tao Anchun flew for another hour and reached ’Heavenly Horse Lake,’ where the Heavenly Horses often roamed, he saw no traces.

Neither did he receive any human response.

At this time, the sky darkened once more.

Tao Anchun, being a Literary Minister of Agriculture, had limited spells and could no longer maintain the world’s reversed time.

"What should I do, what should I do?" Tao Anchun grew anxious.

The three hundred plus Heavenly Horses were his lifeline, his hope!

Now, both people and horses had disappeared without a trace. How could he not be worried?

"Mr. Tao, let me handle it." Zhao Xing saw Tao Anchun trying to reverse the time again and immediately stopped him.

Reversing time a second time would harm his primordial energy.

Tao Anchun glanced at Zhao Xing, then hesitantly said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

"Go!"

Zhao Xing pointed his finger, and the Seasonal Order ascended into the sky.

Buzzz~

As if a great sun rose, the entire Twin Islands brightened under Tao Anchun’s astonished gaze.

"Turning night into day, reversing three hours... This is reversing time a second time." Tao Anchun was stunned by Zhao Xing’s maneuver. "Mr. Zhao’s spell is truly powerful."

"I am, after all, a Military Minister of Agriculture." Zhao Xing modestly said, "I know a little bit."

Tao Anchun was a Sixth-Rank official, as was Zhao Xing. In theory, there shouldn’t be such a vast gap between a Military and a Literary Minister of Agriculture.

But Zhao Xing was outstanding among Military Ministers of Agriculture, one in a million. Compared to Tao Anchun, the disparity became even more apparent.

A master would be recognized as soon as he made a move.

Tao Anchun saw Zhao Xing reversing the time for a second time in the Heavenly Time Zone he had already affected, regaining three hours of daylight, proving he was far stronger.

"With the sky so bright, Mr. Ling and Mr. Cao should be aware that someone is searching for them."

"Mr. Tao, let me handle the Cloud Skill as well; mine has a larger range."

As Zhao Xing replaced Tao Anchun’s Seasonal Order, he also took over the Cloud Skill in the sky.

The Swallowing Cloud Domain expanded endlessly, showing no boundaries.

Zhao Xing’s Cloud Skill again shocked Tao Anchun, as its range was unknown yet many times larger!

Could there really be such a huge gap between a Military and a Literary Minister of Agriculture?

Tao Anchun began to question his life.

"Mr. Tao, which version of the contact Cloud Talisman are you using? Mr. Tao?"

Zhao Xing asked after casting his Cloud Skill.

He didn’t know which version of the communication Cloud Talisman the Dragon Horse Guard used, as practices varied across regions.

He called twice but received no response.

Old Tao only snapped out of his shock after a while: "Oh, it’s the ninth version issued by Chongming Prefecture, we made some adjustments suited to our local needs. I’ll explain to Mr. Zhao."

"No need to explain everything, just point out the modifications." Zhao Xing’s fingers began to sketch across the sky.

Writing Cloud Talismans and observing Cloud Dao were required courses for Military Ministers of Agriculture.

On his way to Supply City during his previous mission, Zhao Xing had detected Sha Clan attacks on Zhenhai Army’s city by observing the Cloud Dao.

At that moment, the Cloud Talisman was a mode of information transmission.

With Tao Anchun’s reminders, Zhao Xing quickly drew several Cloud Talismans in the sky.

Tao Anchun watched in awe because Zhao Xing’s Cloud Talismans were drawn quickly, neatly, and flawlessly.

Furthermore, Zhao Xing’s information transmission capacity clearly exceeded his own.

Because Tao Anchun couldn’t manipulate colors, whatever the background color of the sky, he could only write using that color.

But in Zhao Xing’s hands, character colors could be split into the three primary colors using light, allowing for free switching.

The information transmission capacity was instantly maximized.

Tao Anchun could not achieve this.

He then realized that a remarkable Military Minister of Agriculture had parachuted into Twin County’s Dragon Horse Guard.

Even if he might not be someone special to Princess You Ruo, sheer competence alone was enough to earn high-ranking officials’ favor and appreciation.

"He indeed should be the chief officer here," Tao Anchun pondered, finally convinced of Zhao Xing’s appointment.
