Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1132: Chapter 388: The Eight Towns’ Spies and Agents, Xia Chuan’s Presence, Outer Realm News (4)

Great Xia is not the Great Xia it was nine years ago, and he is naturally no longer the Xia Chuan from nine years ago. He is now the Great Xia Minister in charge of the Eight Departments.

In terms of power, he is second only to one, and above thousands. His every word and deed is enough to affect every person in Great Xia; any of his orders can determine life or death; all of his decisions dictate the glory, disgrace, wealth, and fortunes of countless families; saying he has immense power is not an exaggeration.

In terms of strength, he is currently the undisputed third person in all of Great Xia. Aside from his elder brother, Xia Hong, and his sister-in-law, Li Xuanling, he fears no one. Once he continues to break through to the Xianyang Level, he will be equal with the lords of the other Eight Towns; for a long time in the future, he may almost swagger across the southern slope of Moao Mountain.

As for wealth, there’s no need to speak further. In some respects, Xia Chuan considers himself to have more extreme views than his elder brother. From Xia Hong’s many actions and words, it can be seen he still regards Great Xia as a homeland created collectively by everyone, where all products should be shared by all. Xia Chuan, however, differs; he still believes to this day that Great Xia is solely Xia Hong’s private property. Without Xia Hong, Great Xia’s rise would never have been possible.

The advancement of power, strength, and wealth long ago elevated Xia Chuan’s vision to a height rare among common people; his mindset has quietly changed. In fact, when he heard about Yang Ning and Li Hu from Lu Yang last year, his heart remained mostly calm.

Effortlessly killing two Cold Resistance Level people from Beishuo Town is certainly no burden to him. But if he can use these two Cold Resistance Level individuals to handle other matters more vital to Great Xia, he would naturally opt for the latter.

The current situation is just like that!

With more and more spies infiltrating Great Xia’s territory, it’s only a matter of time before information is exposed. For example, a straightforward matter of reckoning the years—anyone with a bit of intelligence listening to the name "the eighth year of Da Xia" and tracing it back to verify will soon discover discrepancies.

Since exposure is inevitable, it might be better to use the mouths of these two and first intimidate Beishuo Town.

"In the entire Moao Eight Towns, especially the three families in the north, the thing they’re most eager to know is Great Xia’s overall strength, especially the quantity at the Xianyang Level. They previously could confirm only my elder brother, but now with the Bashang migration starting, they will surely believe that Xiang Fuhai has recovered. This way, Great Xia can be assured for a long time. My sister-in-law will soon break through, and once I and Yuwen Dao also break through, the situation on the southern slope of Moao Mountain will essentially be clear!"

After pondering for a moment, Xia Chuan’s eyes flickered with ambition, then he turned to Qiu Peng and Yuan Cheng and said: "Get Lin Kai and have him cooperate together. First, let Yang Ning and Li Hu reconfirm that Great Xia is still the Great Xia it was nine years ago, then expose their false identities, follow Hongmen City’s rules to expel them, and let them return to Beishuo to deliver the message."

Originally, Lin Kai served in Wuyuan, and after Hongmen was established and the city built, he was promoted here as the Defender.

Qiu Peng and Yuan Cheng had already understood Xia Chuan’s plan, and their faces were full of admiration. Hearing his orders, they immediately nodded.

"Additionally, keep a close watch on this Han Peng!

According to Han Feng, Han Peng’s talent is quite average; he only broke through to Cold Resistance Level in his forties, and doesn’t have Battle Body Talent. He reached Peak of Cold Resistance Level at seventy-two, with basic strength always being at eight zong. However, five years ago, his strength suddenly began to increase; since then, it has grown by an additional zong every year. Given Jinyang Village’s impoverished conditions, he absolutely can’t afford dan medicine to enhance strength at Peak of Cold Resistance Level.

Moreover, he is also keen on inquiring about the news across various towns. At the end of last year, when the Seven Towns supported Jiangxia, he went there too, and even spent money to buy information from Cold Resistance Level individuals in other towns, which Han Feng accidentally stumbled upon.

This person definitely has issues. Try finding an opportunity to engage with him; we might actually uncover some news about Outer Realm forces."

"At your command!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Peng and Yuan Cheng immediately responded with cupped hands, knowing that this matter was more important than that of Yang Ning and Li Hu, so their expressions became much more solemn.

"Alright then, Xu Ning, come with me to meet Xiang Fuhai. It’s about time to migrate those 90,000 people from Bashang too!"

After indicating to Qiu Peng and Yuan Cheng, Xia Chuan called Xu Ning and walked straight towards the main hall. Xiang Fuhai and Xiang Tianyang’s conversation was almost finished, so it was time for him to make an appearance.

Qiu Peng and Yuan Cheng also left to call Lin Kai and meet with Yang Ning and Li Hu.

......

Like other setups within Great Xia Territory, the tallest building in Hongmen City is naturally the Ministry Building in the center representing Great Xia’s reign.

But unlike other setups, aside from the Ministry Building, there is also a massive, five-story wooden building on the southern side of Hongmen City that matches the height of the Ministry Building.

Even though its height is the same as the Ministry Building, the length of a single wall of this wooden building reaches an astonishing hundred meters, making its scale at least ten times that of the Ministry Building.

According to the Great Xia’s ritual codes, this wooden building actually counts as exceeding the limits.

However, since Xia Hong himself planned and constructed this wooden building, the notion of exceeding limits naturally doesn’t hold.

At this moment, Han Peng and all Cold Resistance Level individuals from the Yinhe Valley caravan stood in front of this wooden building.

[Treasure Tower]

Everyone looked up at the three large characters on the wooden building’s top banner, their expressions filled with excitement and their eyes full of longing.

"This is the infamous Great Xia Wanbao Building that is being talked about extensively among the Eight Towns. Rumor has it that inside, there’s everything from dan medicine and weapons for cultivation at the Xianyang Level, to auxiliary dan medicine for children as young as six years old practicing cultivation. Great Xia’s independently created various new products, and everything in between!"
