Chapter 291 - Astra Hall (1/2)

Ye Chen and Little Wingsy did not know where they ranked among the many Daemon Kings. However, once a Daemon King established their own forces, they would certainly be a force that surpassed the top sect in the Central Empire. Furthermore, they would be one of the founding members of this force!

How could they not be excited?

“I am willing to follow Your Highness till death!” Nie Qingyun and the Eclipsing Firebird immediately knelt and said loudly.

Great Emperor Mingwu also put down his pride as an emperor. “We are willing to follow Your Highness till death!”

Xie Dao and Xie Jian also put down their pride. “We are also willing to follow Your Highness till Death!”

“All of you, rise. Although I’m preparing to establish my own force, I still cannot attract the attention of other forces. Everything must be done in secret until the time is ripe for its announcement to the public.” Ye Chen’s thoughts were quite holistic. The nail that sticks up gets hammered down. All the forces and territories of Daemon Kings were stable now. If Ye Chen announced that he was establishing a force of his own, it would inevitably become a target of suppression.

“Yes, Your Highness” The crowd responded. They still felt the surge of excitement.

“What is Your Highness preparing to do?” The Eclipsing Sunbird asked.

“We’ll start from the Xiwu Empire. We’ll first drive the Nanman Kingdom out of the Xiwu Empire and get rid of the Stalwart of the Heavenly Stars Sect and the Taiyi Sword Sect. Destroying the Stalwart of the Heavenly Stars Sect and the Taiyi Sword Sect will be handled by Xie Dao and Xie Jian. Next, we’ll recruit talented youths from various counties and nurture them. I will provide the cultivation systems and martial techniques. We’ll recruit fifty thousand people for now. This matter will be handled by Mingwu and assisted by Nie Qingyun.” Ye Chen looked at the crowd.

Everyone agreed.

Ye Chen had accounted for everything. He was preparing to put the Xiwu Empire into his sphere of authority. News that a Daemon King appeared in the Xiwu Empire would be enough to temporarily stabilize the Xiwu Empire.

Ye Chen felt that there were still too few people that were under his rule, so he had to recruit more. At least for now, Ye Chen knew where he had to start. He did not have to be that worried about the details and just leave it to Mingwu, Nie Qingyun, and the others.

“Your Highness, since you’ve decided to establish a force, have you thought of a name for it?” Nie Qingyun asked respectfully.

“Not yet.” Ye Chen pondered for a long time. He was not preparing to establish a sect, but instead a superpower like the Wolven Kingdom, the Leo King’s Palace, or the Tribunal Council. Ye Chen was not a mystical beast, so he could not name it like the Wolf King or the Leo King. Perhaps he could use Little Wingsy’s name and call it the Serpent King Palace? However, that seemed a little inaccurate. He did not have a large number of disciples like the Wolven Kingdom and the Leo King’s Palace did.

Nie Qingyun and the others also did not dare to interrupt. They could not think of any good names either, and they did not know what kind of name would fit Ye Chen’s wishes.

Ye Chen thought about the Nine Astra Skies and said, “Let’s call it Astra Hall.”

“Astra Hall?” The crowd was stunned. They did not know how Ye Chen came up with this name, but since Ye Chen thought of it, they did not dare to say anything against it.

“Astra Hall. It’s a good name. A hall of stars.” Nie Qingyun quickly complimented.

“Alright, then it’s decided.” Ye Chen waved his hand. There was already a blueprint in his heart. Currently, he had three forces he could use. They were the Yin Royal Clan, the Emerald Cloud Sect, and the Ye Clan. The Yin Royal Clan was the imperial family of the Xiwu Empire and also the most useful. As for the Emerald Cloud Sect and the Ye Clan, he would have to slowly expand those.

Mingwu, Nie Qingyun, and the others all offered suggestions and made plans for the construction of the Astral Hall.

“Your Highness, where will the Astra Hall be built?” Nie Qingyun asked.

“That’s not urgent for the time being. We should first find a suitable place before slowly starting construction. This matter must be kept confidential and cannot be known by others.” Ye Chen thought for a moment. He was planning to build the Astra Hall in a relatively secret place underground, preferably surrounded by mountains. At the very least, even if a powerful enemy attacked, there would be ways to escape. “Send someone to the Liangyun Mountains to investigate and choose a suitable place.”

Ye Chen finally decided to build the Astra Hall in the Liangyun Mountains.

“Yes, Your Highness!”

After giving his instruction on many matters, Ye Chen stood up and said, “I’ll be leaving for Donglin County now. Xie Dao and Xie Jian, I’ll leave the Taiyi Sword Sect and the Stalwart of the Heavenly Stars Sect to you. After those two sects have been destroyed, come back here.”

“Please rest assured, Your Highness.” Xie Dao and Xie Jian quickly replied. This was their first assignment after defecting to Ye Chen. They could not disappoint Ye Chen unless they wanted to die.

“Little Wingsy, let’s go.” Ye Chen walked out with Little Wingsy. Little Squido had been hanging onto Little Wingsy’s back, seemingly asleep.
