"Big Brother Tuoba, there's one more thing. Is Swordsoul Island within the quota that we have gathered this time?" Lee Xun had originally asked Cang Mo about this matter, but now that Tuoba Gui had come to ask about it, it was naturally the same.

"The reason why the Swordsoul Island has not yet been summoned, is because it is not convenient to go from there to there, and time is rather tight. That's why I felt very surprised when I found your master back then. "

Lee Xun was relieved now, he did not wish for there to be any change in Swordsoul Island. His parents and brother, Shang Rongrong's family, Qian Jue's family, and all the other people from Heavenly Academy were all over there. Tuoba Gui's guess was precisely what Lee Xun was thinking. The strength of the Sword Soul was pitifully weak compared to the Sword Soul Continent.

"That's good. "Big Bro Tuoba, I reckon that you'll need a few more days to collect all the keys."

"I can't say for sure, but it won't be for long, so you'd better arrange things here as soon as possible. Perhaps you can start at any time."

"I understand, Brother Tuoba, how are Qing and the other two doing?"

"They are doing very well now. Holy Maiden has already advanced to the Heaven Rank and Miss Rongrong and Zixing have already reached the level of Human Rank. They will enter the Divine Soul Continent together with the people on the Sword Soul Continent in half a year."

Hearing Qin Qing's progress, Lee Xun could not help but be shocked, this speed was truly frightening.

"Hehe, you're surprised right? Holy Maiden, with the help of the Protectors, successfully absorbed the 'Bodhi Fruit' and broke through to the Heaven Rank in one go. The 'Spirit of Earth Fire' in his body has completely awakened. However, compared to you, the progress of Holy Maiden is insignificant. I told everything about you to the Holy Maiden, she was even more shocked by your improvement. Holy Maiden told me to bring a message that she was waiting for you at Yanyou Clan to fetch her. "

"..."

Huang Huan and Tuoba Gui left very quickly. They knew that Lee Xun would definitely be very busy these few days, as there were too many things to be arranged. Once he left the Sword Soul Continent, he might not be able to return even after ten to eight years. However, there were many people in this place that he could not bear to part with but still chose to stay in the Sword Soul Continent, so Lee Xun had to properly arrange matters for him after he left.

On the side of the Helan Empire, other than the Lee Family Army, there were also Baili Shuang and the others. Among them, there was already a group of people who had broken through to the Human Rank realm, and with the help of a twelfth stage flying Demonic Beast, there wouldn't be any problems with their safety after half a year. Furthermore, there were also the Thunder Crystal and Xueyan. The two women did not belong to the human race, so they did not need to listen to the summoning Yanyou Clan.

After thinking about it again and again, Lee Xun still felt that there was a lot more room for improvement in their Lee Family Army, but since Han Meiji and Duanmu Ruoxue had not returned yet, he could only wait for them to return before discussing specific things. So, Lee Xun went to the northern camp in Rotterdam, and secretly observed for a while. The northern camp had been converted into a special camp for Lee Family Army, and because Lee Family Army was planned for two legions of two hundred thousand people, the northern camp was twice as large.

After some careful observation, Lee Xun realized that his Lee Family Army had improved a lot compared to before. This was mainly due to his individual strength. Because there were too many people participating in Lee Family Army, the quality of the recruits naturally had room to choose. In addition, the twenty thousand people that survived had been completely trained after a few great battles, and their individual strength had been greatly improved. Speaking of which, these twenty thousand people were all highly sought after. According to military merits, all of them could become military officers. The worst of them would definitely be able to become a captain for twenty people. But with the Lee Family Army set up there, it was impossible for these people to all be appointed officers. Therefore, many other legions came to ask for him and offered him all sorts of preferential treatment. Currently within the Helan Empire, there were many armies that had planned to equip themselves according to their Lee Family Army. Of course, they wouldn't be like the Lee Family Army, with a set of special equipment each, since they didn't have the combat experience of wearing special equipment. Therefore, these people continued to lead the troops. Duanmu Ruoxue naturally would not affect the future of the masses and let them make their own choices. In the end, every regiment that came to ask for help offered all sorts of preferential conditions. It could be said that the twenty thousand people who had survived the earth-shattering bloody battle had an unprecedented unity. They would rather be a large soldier in the Lee Family Army than lead those legions. Although Lee Family Army did not experience many battles, each battle was a huge one. Furthermore, the environment in which each battle took place, as well as the strategies and tactics used, were all different, and all of these were filled with rich experience. Furthermore, the training of Lee Family Army was also unique. After some discussion, they randomly chose two thousand people to lead the troops of the other divisions. Those who were chosen were all crying. However, Duanmu Ruoxue's words caused these people to be filled with fighting spirit. Duanmu Ruoxue hoped that they would be able to personally lead out an iron army that was similar to Lee Family Army.

Seeing the current state of his Lee Family Army, Lee Xun could not help but think of an extremely bold idea.

Han Meiji and Lirou had both returned on the fourth day after they had left. To Lee Xun's surprise, the entire clan had arrived at the Jiakesi Academy on the fifth day.

Duanmu Ruoxue's father, mother and second mother were also present this time. Other than feeling that Lee Xun had more women by his side, they could not find anything wrong with him. However, her daughter had already decided, there was nothing they could say.

At night, Lee Xun called all the girls over and said: "Meiji, Ruoxue, I have an idea, I want to set up an additional reward mechanism for Lee Family Army."

"What reward mechanism?" The two girls asked in unison.

"I want to equip those twenty thousand soldiers who survived the battle with Demonic Beast mounts so that they can become role models for other Lee Family Army. When the others receive enough military merits and are rewarded with Demonic Beast mounts, of course, their soul imprint collars and mount rings will have to keep up, what do you guys think? " Lee Xun spoke out his thoughts.

"This idea is indeed very good. Subjective as well as objective, it can increase the combat strength of one's Lee Family Army. However, how could they find so many low-leveled Demonic Beast that could be used by ordinary soldiers? Furthermore, these kinds of Demonic Beast had to be unified, otherwise it would be difficult to form a teamwork with them. Furthermore, the requirements for these Demonic Beast were quite high. In addition to that, we also need a lot of materials to make the soul seal collar and mount rings, although we are not short on money, but it would be very difficult to buy that many materials in a short time, it's just a production problem. Other than that, there's also the cost of raising a Demonic Beast. This is a huge expense later on. " Duanmu Ruoxue asked three questions at once, and each of them could be said to have hit the nail on the head.

"Hehe, I have already thought about it, the choice of the Demonic Beast is left to Jingjing. Meiji is naturally responsible for creating the soul imprint collar and mount ring, as for the purchase of the materials and the expenses to be spent, isn't that also responsible for the two of us, the God of Fortune?"

"Hmph. Every time you do that, it's fine as long as you use your mouth. All the people who suffer are us." Shangguan Jing'er said.

"That's right. He will just be a shopkeeper, treating us like laborers." Lirou said.

Lee Xun laughed bitterly, what Shangguan Jing'er and Lirou said was the truth, and said: "My dear wives, I know I have troubled you all for a while. When I return from the Divine Soul Continent, I will definitely make it up to you all."

"Then how do you compensate?" Shangguan Jing'er asked.

"I had already made up my mind long ago. When everything calmed down, I would bring you guys everywhere to enjoy the mountains and water, Sword Soul Continent, Swordsoul Island, and even Divine Soul Continent. Of course, you can also go to other lower realms. Oh, that's right, when there's still our children, I don't think we'll be lonely, but I wonder how many children we'll have in the future? " After Lee Xun finished speaking, he smiled and looked at the girls, only to see that all of them were blushing, and all of their eyes revealed expressions of yearning for happiness, obviously attracted by the future that Lee Xun was talking about.

"Hmph, it's all thanks to you, bastard." Shangguan Jing'er said.

"Ah, if all of you leave in the future, what should I do? I'm not going to be the Queen, I want to play with you guys too. " Xixi was getting anxious.

After she said that, everyone laughed, and Shangguan Jing'er laughed: "Who asked you to not state your attitude even now, in the future, we will be family traveling. If you have always been a sister to us, we wouldn't dare to bring you along. Isn't this spoiling Empress Xixi's reputation? "

"Xixi, there aren't many opportunities left. Once Lee Xun leaves this time, I'll most likely have to bring back a few big sisters for you the next time he comes back. By then, your seats might not even be available, you won't even have time to cry." Xiyin laughed. She was not trying to scare Xixi, because once Lee Xun had reached the Divine Soul Continent, he would definitely go find her. With Qin Qing and Shang Rongrong, there would be three of them.

Xixi blushed, lowered her head, and said coquettishly: "No matter what, I am still an empress, how can I not be a little reserved? Moreover, this scoundrel didn't even say it himself, yet you all actually helped him bully me, it's so infuriating."

"If you're planning to do this, then I see that you want to die early. Why don't you ask the other sisters if they agree?" Xiyin laughed. The girls all looked at Lee Xun unkindly. Other than Xixi, who didn't take the initiative to pick him up, how could they allow Xixi to be an exception?

Lee Xun could not help but be puzzled, he had actually found them to discuss business, why would they bring up this issue now, thus he said: "This is not the time to discuss this issue."

"Shut up." The girls said in unison.

Lee Xun was fine, but he was scared. Xixi mustered up his courage and said: "If you want to say it, say it. Brother, Xixi has decided to marry you. You are not allowed to leave me. "Hmm, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as you agreeing, hehe." Taking the initiative to reveal his thoughts, Xixi instantly felt extremely comfortable, and felt extremely good about himself.

"Puchi!" All the girls burst into laughter.

Lee Xun sweated. No matter what, he had the feeling that he was being chased. However, it was not because Lee Xun did not have any feelings for him, on the contrary, he already had feelings for him. All the girls naturally saw it as Xixi always had his pride in him, but Shangguan Jing'er had already seen through the hidden love Xixi had for him, which was why she kept bringing the two of them together and gave them a lot of opportunities. Actually, although Xixi and Xixi did not break through the last line of defense, there were still quite a few that had it.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. What do you think of my proposal?" Time was of the essence, and he might leave tomorrow, so Lee Xun did not want to waste his time.

Rou and I can purchase it in half a month's time. As for the expenses for Lee Family Army, there's nothing to worry about, it's just that it's too easy for us to earn money right now. " Shangguan Jing'er said. Just by selling the special equipment, Shangguan Jing'er and Lirou already had ten billion purple gold coins, and knowing that the related ore materials would raise the price, how could these two female God of Wealth give up such a good opportunity to amass wealth, buy low, sell high, go back and forth, and earn even more. In their hands, there were already more than a hundred billion purple gold coins.

"Actually, we don't have to worry too much about the military expenditures after Lee Family Army. Didn't we already decide to beat down on those empires that had been adding fuel to the fire? When the time came, he would cut the land and compensate them. He couldn't afford to lose a single one. Furthermore, we have already received news that the ten over clans led by Qianye Clan are going to rely on the empires that we need to take care of. Lirou said.

The ten over clans with Qianye Clan that relied on the aggression from the other nations were helpless, but it was also logical. From a certain point of view, they were truly on the same side, because their Baili Clan were tied together with their Helan Empire. How could the Qianye Clan and the other families not be worried? There would be a day when the Baili Clan would borrow strength from the Helan Empire to take revenge on them. Not only were they afraid, even the empires who had invaded the Helan Empire were afraid, so their alliance was completely within reason.

"Master Shang Xian has researched the military intelligence for an entire day. He said that the empires that have a grudge with us, will probably attack my Helan Empire once again in the near future." Xixi said.

"This should be foreseeable because the Sword Soul Continent is getting more and more chaotic. Right now, the military strength of the Helan Empire should far surpass that of the surrounding nations. Naturally, they have to first remove the greatest threat before being able to pursue their future development. The faster the better, the better. We cannot wait for the other nations to be ready. Most importantly, they cannot give us more time to prepare. " Lee Xun said. Now that they had Baili Clan, the Heaven Realm and Earth Rank Expert of the Duanmu Clan had to work day and night to inscribe the "Iron-Blood Demon Formation" for their special equipment, and their Helan Empire had also mobilized a large number of craftsmen to make their own equipment. In the past, they did not lack craftsmen and materials. What they lacked were people who would carve. But now, they did not lack anything.

"I think if they come back this time, the scale of the invasion will be several times larger than ours. Not only that, all of the Seclusion Family joining the army will greatly increase their combat strength, and they will also be equipped with military equipment. They must have found some ways to deal with the special equipment." Duanmu Ruoxue said.
