Chapter 270 -169: Linglong Dice and Double Fish Gu
The next morning.
A new battle report had arrived, stating that Lin Zhonglu fell victim to twelve arrows due to leading from the front.
On his return, Lin Zhonglu had already passed away.
It was not until noon that Chen Qing saw the large number of returning reinforcements. At this moment, he still did not know if Xuanping had a hand in this secretly.
That was not important.
He only needed to understand one thing, which was that Xuanping was doing something beneficial to him.
At the entrance of the Giant Wood Forest, Lu Shenglong sat on a dead trunk, examining his injuries.
The entire camp, under Xuanping’s command, became well organized, unlike what they used to be.
Everything started to become standardized; no one rejected Xuanping’s orders.
During the battle with Yan Shiyin, Xuanping used her formidable strength to remind everyone of one thing.
Their leader Chen Qing was essentially a live-in son-in-law.
With such a lady, being a son-in-law wasn’t a loss.
From Lu Shenglong’s perspective, if Chen Qing gathered everyone with personal charisma,
then Xuanping was the one who made everyone understand what reverence was through fear.
Chen Qing was gentle in demeanor, earning him much affection from people.
But Xuanping was different. She naturally carried a powerful aura of oppression.
If Lu Shenglong knew that Xuanping, when reflecting on her Lifebound destiny on the immortal island, was a true phoenix, he might have found it even more ordinary.
She seemed born to manage such a powerful force, effortlessly taking charge of everything at hand.
Whether it was Zhang Can, Yan Bailiang, Su Yi, or Lu Shenglong, when facing such a powerful leader’s wife, they could only instinctively feel awe.
She carried a naturally intense dangerous aura.
That intimidation of killing a Foundation Establishment with an arrow was more terrifying than Chen Qing killing others head-on.
And her identity made them unable to resist.
Theoretically, Xuanping was the true mistress of the Xuan Bird Tribe.
Soon, Lu Shenglong saw Jiang Xin land in front of him, “General Lu, Lord Wei summoned you.”
Lu Shenglong walked into the treehouse where Chen Qing was resting, glanced around, and when he saw Xuanping wasn’t there, he unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Four major generals sat down, and Qing Ran also came in.
Once Qing Ran entered the wooden house, he anxiously said, “Lord Wei, has Senior Lin perished?”
Chen Qing nodded lightly, “Yes, Yan Shiyin is cunning. Senior Lin was ambushed.”
Qing Ran was momentarily flustered, stunned on the spot.
All of the Lin Country’s Foundation Establishments could only unite solely because of Lin Zhonglu.
Now that Lin Zhonglu had fallen, what would become of Lin Country’s Foundation Establishments?
Chen Qing said solemnly, “Senior Lin’s death pains us all.”
“But we cannot stop here.”
“According to the information I received, Yan Shiyin has not only lured you here.”
“He also secretly dispatched a squad to the Divine Weapon Treasure Realm known for the Xuanjia Gu, capturing numerous Xuanjia Gu.”
“We must hurry to the Divine Weapon Treasure Realm to retrieve the Gu, or we will lose a large number of Xuanjia Gu.”
“Yan Shiyin’s power will grow again!”
Chen Qing stood up, walked to Qing Ran’s side, and said, “I’m considering making you the new leader of Lin Country’s Foundation Establishments. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Qing Ran thought for a moment, “Although my Qingteng Tribe is also a major tribe, I am still young and lack the prestige of Senior Lin.”
“I’m afraid I am not adequate for the role.”
Chen Qing placed a hand on Qing Ran’s shoulder, “Do not be afraid. I say you can, and you certainly can.”
“After you join my Li Bingwei, Lin Country’s Foundation Establishments will handle intelligence and logistics, as well as governance over the large tribes under our command.”
“Submit to the leadership of my wife Xuanping, and follow her arrangements.”
Hearing this, Qing Ran eased, “If Lady Xuanping oversees it, I should be able to hold everyone in check.”
Not only did Chen Qing’s four leading generals feel Xuanping’s authority, but even Qing Ran sensed her might within a day.
If Chen Qing’s previous Li Bingwei was merely a war alliance, then with Xuanping’s arrival, this organization was gradually transforming into a true power.
After comforting Qing Ran, Chen Qing quickly ordered Qing Ran to take over the defeated returning troops.
Despite being called defeated troops, there were still about eight or nine hundred Foundation Establishments. However, Lin Country’s Foundation Establishments differed from those in other countries, preferring to flee.
Thus, once the battle loss exceeded ten percent, they were completely demoralized.
This couldn’t be entirely blamed on Lin Country’s Foundation Establishments; they utilized spirit beasts and were adept at managing territories and boosting tribal wealth.
But when it came to warfare, none backed down in individual combat, yet in large-scale warfare, they became scattered.
Chen Qing’s plan was simple, using Yan Country’s production-line Foundation Establishments and Lin Country’s to form his administrative system.
With Wu Country and the Iron Country Foundation Establishments Xuanping mentioned comprising his military system.
This way, he could support the Foundation Establishments under his command.

By dispatching Lu Shenglong and Qing Ran to lead five hundred troops to the Divine Weapon Treasure Realm to acquire Xuanjia Gu, Chen Qing took the remaining legion and headed towards the Iron Country’s border.
If Xuan Cuo’s persuasion failed and he was captured, he had to garrison troops here as a deterrent, intimidating the Iron Country’s Foundation Establishments to prevent them from killing Xuan Cuo outright.
He naturally didn’t bring the injured, only those with minor injuries.
