Chapter 33 Bestowal of the Divine General (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

However, looking at the long term, the Mo River issue was certainly resolved.

The Mo River Authority couldn't even mobilize people with rewards before, but now, driven by interests, this once unprofitable venture had turned into a moneymaking one.

And although most of the items in the treasure vault couldn't be exchanged, they were still a benefit, significantly enhancing the overall national power of the Dayu Divine Dynasty.

What used to be a hole filled with the lives of soldiers, was now transformed into nourishment.

No wonder His Majesty had been so generous with his strokes, bestowing the title of Divine General, this was the first time in hundreds of years that a Divine General was conferred!

"That kid, to be bestowed the title of Divine General..."

Song Yufeng thought of Li Hao. Others might not know, but the elders of Tan Palace, including him, and his granddaughter, were all aware of who this Chong Er was.

Li Hao had previously cleared the Fengshan Mo River and confirmed it himself. A little investigation revealed that this Chong Er was indeed Li Hao!

Ever since Li Hao went to Liangzhou, and with Song Qiumo also rushing there to help, Song Yufeng had paid close attention to Liangzhou. The great battle in Liangzhou had already made Li Hao's name well-known throughout the states and had also spread back to Qingzhou.

During this time, the streets and alleys of Qingzhou had been discussing that peerless young man who fought his father in a great battle a year ago.

But now, the discussions were mostly praises, and even if some brought up the past to accuse him of being unfilial, they were rebutted.

Whether he was filial or not was another matter, but at the very least, saving the millions of Liangzhou people showed his benevolence.

This deed was enough to make his name live through the ages, and statues of Li Hao had even been erected in martial temples everywhere, portraying him as a youthful figure with the shadow of a great general through the ages.

"That guy was trapped in the Dragon City Mo River, he must have cleared that Mo River."

Song Yufeng thought to himself, feeling relieved.

"This kid, participating in the Mo River twice, and clearing it both times. Does he have some special trick for clearing them?"

Song Yufeng muttered to himself. The last time he saw Li Hao was in front of the Divine General Mansion.

That day, amidst a sky filled with snow, the young man stepped out alone from that resplendent, dazzling Divine General Mansion.

Who would have thought that in less than two years, the other party was now about to be conferred the title of Divine General!

If those people from the Divine General Mansion knew that this Chong Er was Li Hao, what would they think?

Song Yufeng's eyes sparkled as he gathered all the elders of the Black and White Hall, including his granddaughter.

When he saw the shock and excitement on their faces, he instantly knew that they had all realized something.

They were witnessing the rise of a Divine General!

"Since you all know about this matter, I won't say more. Keep your mouths shut and forbid spreading the word," Song Yufeng said.

Upon hearing this, Song Yueyao's excited heart settled slightly, puzzled, she asked, "Why not?"

"No reason, the boy can go claim his reward by himself, it's not our place to broadcast it," Song Yufeng said calmly. "Don't do anything unnecessary. He is still in Liangzhou, still in danger. If those demons knew he was Chong Er, they would probably attack frantically, paying a higher price to kill him!"

"Keeping it a secret for him is helping him."

Upon hearing Song Yufeng's words, everyone realized the difficult situation Li Hao was in.

Covered with glory destined to last for ages, radiant to the extreme, he would become a thorn in the side, a target in the eyes of demons.

"Don't worry, the reward won't go anywhere. Let the boy get out of trouble; he will certainly hear the Imperial Edict and naturally go to claim it," Song Yufeng said lightly, smiling. "Maybe soon, we will be able to attend his Divine General conferral ceremony. You guys have never seen a Divine General conferral ceremony, have you? It's a sight not to be missed..."

"Palace Master, have you seen one?" Shen Yunqing asked curiously.

"Haven't seen it," Song Yufeng smiled, "But I've heard about it."

"..."

The crowd was silenced.

...

Outside the Liangzhou Territory, in a secret place.

Several birds darted past, bringing news back.

"Imperial Edict? Bestowing the title of Divine General?"

In this dark secret place, a group of demons with towering demonic aura gathered together. Even with restrained auras, the demonic energy they emitted was still deep and terrifying.

"Damn it, who is this Chong Er? Don't let me find out, or I'll tear him to shreds!"

"It's not necessarily a bad thing. Gathering you all here is at the behest of the Black Mountain Wild God."

A burly man with a stern face and thick chest hair said, "The opening of the Merit Treasure Vault is good for us too; we can also benefit. But the prerequisite is, we must first conquer Dayu!"

"Within a decade or so, the overall national power of the Dayu Divine Dynasty will certainly increase slightly with the help of the Merit Treasure Vault. The longer the time, the greater the increase, and when the Mo River no longer restricts them, the Wang Family will also have their hands free."

"The Black Mountain Wild God's intent is that there's no need for us to wait any longer!"

Hearing his words, the others' expressions sharpened.

After hundreds of years of preparation, were they finally going to act?

"Damn it, this loss in Liangzhou has disrupted our plans. Without Liangzhou as a base to engage the Dayu Divine Dynasty, and failing to eliminate Qingzhou the Li Family, we will suffer even greater losses going forward!"

"Now we can only fight head-on." Find your next read at empire

"Fortunately, for hundreds of years, we have focused on attacking the state where the Li Family Town is located, wearing down that damn Li Family considerably. It's time to eradicate the Li surname from the world!"

"A new Divine General being conferred? Hmph, let the old Divine Generals be buried first!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The several figures with formidable auras spoke, and they had been waiting for this moment too.

Centuries of attacking, focusing on the stronghold of the Li Family, worried that their true intentions would be too obvious, they had also spread out some of their forces to harass other families, leading to significant losses for themselves.

The hatred among them had intensified over the centuries of fierce fighting.

"First crush Qingzhou the Li Family. Since we failed in Liangzhou, let's start with Qingzhou!"

"Do we wait for the Candle Flame God to return?"

"Dragon City Mo River outside has been surrounded. I've heard that Emperor Yu has gone mad. He even released his ninth brother, the sword madman. That man has also come here. If he really has to back up the Candle Flame God, it might still be a tough fight."
