239: Ready to go
Looking at the one hundred billion energy points on the panel, Ye Kong was a little stunned.
He figured it must be from killing Alien Gods and obtaining a lot of energy points through Asura Power.
According to this amount, killing one Alien God would grant fifty billion energy points.
Wait, he had to save someone first!
Ye Kong looked at the severely injured Liu Che in front of him and said to the System, "I want to strengthen this person's body!"
Ye Kong felt very uneasy, as he had never strengthened anyone other than himself.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about strengthening Ye Qingwan's body, but the Divine Meridian Eruption illness would adapt and strengthen itself according to the Physique, so the stronger the body's Physique, the more severe the Divine Meridian Eruption.
"Ding--"
[Detecting Human: Liu Che]
[Physique: Earth-Grade Physique]
[Strengthening one hundred ~ ten thousand times can raise to Heaven-Grade]
[Estimated energy consumption for strengthening: 1,0000,000-0]
[Confirm?]
Ye Kong didn't hesitate and immediately chose 'Confirm'.
[Strengthening Confirmed]
[Remaining Energy Points: 99,0250,4396]
[Strengthening in progress]
Liu Che's body quickly glowed, and his bodily structure changed!
Ye Kong watched as Liu Che's body rapidly healed!
People outside the tent were anxiously waiting when they suddenly saw a bright light emanating from inside. Everyone was curious as to what miraculous Cultivation Technique Ye Kong was using for the tent to shine so brightly.
After the light on Liu Che's body gradually faded, Ye Kong checked Liu Che's body again.
Although his broken arm hadn't healed yet, and he still had multiple wounds all over his body, his previously weak heart was now beating vigorously.
He's saved!
Ye Kong finally showed a relieved expression. His fingertip touched the blood blade, and with a flash of white light, he recalled the Demon-Sealing Soul-Devouring Slash.
Ye Kong looked at the unconscious Liu Che and said, "Liu Che, the blood blade, you have indeed entrusted it to me. Rest assured!"
After a moment of silence, Ye Kong got up and left the tent.
When he pushed aside the tent flap, Wen Gan, Xue Ruyu, and others were outside. They all looked at Ye Kong with hopeful eyes and asked, "General Ye, how is he?"
Ye Kong nodded and said, "There shouldn't be much of a problem now."
Hearing Ye Kong's affirmative answer, everyone exchanged glances.
Wen Gan was the first to enter the tent to check on Liu Che's condition.
Soon, Wen Gan's voice rang out from inside the tent.
"General Ye is truly a Divine Being!"
The tent flap was quickly pushed aside, and Wen Gan poked his head out, telling everyone, "It's confirmed, General Liu is still severely injured and unconscious, but he's out of danger."
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, especially the soldiers of the Xiandeng Camp, who were utterly shocked.
Even the Alien God Yang Wuji was helpless, yet Ye Kong had saved the dying Liu Che!
General Liu is saved.
The soldiers of the Xiandeng Camp gathered around, peering into the tent.
Xue Ruyu had to stop them, telling them not to disturb General Liu's rest.
As she spoke, Xue Ruyu gave Ye Kong a rather strange look.
The Alien God Yang Wuji nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave this place first. To prevent retaliation from the Alien Race, I'll return to Wuji City first."
After speaking, Yang Wuji glanced at Ye Kong. Although he was surprised by Ye Kong's methods, he didn't say anything more.
Ye Kong immediately bowed and said to Yang Wuji, "Senior Yang, take care."
Then, Yang Wuji tore open the Void Realm, and the Great Dao of the Gods runes appeared. He jumped into it and disappeared into the Void Realm.
"Farewell, Senior Yang!"
Everyone said.
Afterward, Ye Kong also improved the Physiques of many severely injured soldiers.
Ye Kong couldn't directly heal the soldiers' injuries, but by strengthening their Physiques, he accelerated their natural recovery speed!
Of course, all of this was done in secret.
Everyone still thought it was due to Ye Kong's excellent medical skills.
Ye Kong strengthened all the severely injured soldiers of the Rebellion Suppression Army. Their Physiques weren't strong, so strengthening them didn't cost too many energy points.
However, during this process, Ye Kong received much gratitude, and the soldiers respected and admired Ye Kong even more.
After it was all over, Ye Kong looked at the gradually darkening sky and couldn't help but think: If this wasn't a world where the strong preyed on the weak, but a world where everyone lived in peace and contentment, perhaps he would be a craftsman or a physician?
Having finished everything, Ye Kong returned to his central army tent and closed his eyes to rest.
After a while, Ye Kong heard footsteps outside the tent and opened his eyes.
Wen Gan and Xue Ruyu entered.
Xue Ruyu said solemnly, "General Ye, the battle report for our Rebellion Suppression Army's expedition against the Alien Race is out."
"How is it?"
Xue Ruyu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ye Kong. Ye Kong took it and began to read... "The Human Rebellion Quelling Army, by imperial decree, led by General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong, totaling over two thousand people, departed from Wuji City, advanced eight hundred li in two days, and reclaimed the Human Race territory outside Wuji City."
Inside the imperial palace of the Human Race Imperial Capital, the Emperor was listening to a secret agent's report.
"A total of two Alien Gods, three Venerables, over twenty Martial Saints, and countless other ranks of the Alien Race were killed."
"Liu Che, the deputy commander of the Rebellion Suppression Army's Xiandeng Camp, was severely wounded. Over two hundred soldiers were killed or injured. The Zhenwei Camp and the troops led by Commander Xue of Wuji City suffered almost no losses."
"General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong has determined that the Alien Race is unable to launch a counterattack in the short term. He has set up camp near the Wuji City boundary monument recently and will return to the capital on a chosen day."
The secret agent finished reading the intelligence on the paper and handed it to the Emperor.
The Emperor's face was somewhat pale. He took it, read it carefully again, and nodded.
"You may leave. Do not let anyone know about this. I suppose Ye Kong doesn't know you're monitoring him, does he?"
"This matter is top secret, absolutely no third person will know!" The Emperor waved his hand.
The secret agent bowed and left the Emperor's residence.
"You may come out."
Wang Jian emerged from behind a screen and paid his respects to the Emperor.
At this time, Wang Jian was full of a resolute aura, unlike before.
Originally, Wang Jian should have returned to the Dragon Kingdom to stabilize its situation and regain control.
However, after a great fire in the Imperial Capital, Wang Jian accepted the Emperor's suggestion and temporarily remained in the palace.
These days, the Emperor personally taught Wang Jian the art of governance and the ways of the world, transforming Wang Jian.
"You've heard it all. As I expected, Ye Kong is destined to become an Alien God."
"This time, he killed two Alien Gods. After he returns to the capital in a few days, the news will spread throughout the Human Race. By then, no matter who it is, they will have to look at Ye Kong with high regard."
"You will immediately go to Wuji City to welcome his return. This is also for the continuation of your Dragon Kingdom. Oh, and remember to take enough guards when you leave."
Wang Jian nodded, thanked the Emperor for his guidance, and immediately left the palace.
After leaving the palace, Wang Jian returned to his residence. The royal family of the Dragon Kingdom had already all returned to the Dragon Kingdom, with only Wang Jian and a team of guards remaining in the Imperial Capital.
The guards saluted when they saw Wang Jian return.
"Pack your bags. We're leaving first thing tomorrow morning. We're returning to the Dragon Kingdom."
A guard came closer and said, "Young Master, are we really leaving tomorrow? Xiao Peng and Xiao Wei went out of the city this afternoon to check the road conditions and haven't returned yet."
Wang Jian would have two people from the guard team go out of the city every day to scout the road, ensuring they could depart immediately when it was time to evacuate the Imperial Capital.
Wang Jian showed a puzzled expression.
It was already midnight, and they still hadn't returned?
