"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" Ghost King and the others responded in unison, their voices deafening. They were well aware of the importance of this expedition. Before departure, Yuan Tiangang had made it clear that Wang Yanzhang would be in full command of the battle, and everyone else must obey his orders without the slightest disobedience.

Like the Northern Ocean, the Southern Barbarians were a vast power comprised of numerous tribes, both large and small. The combined might of a million-strong army was earth-shattering, the spectacle breathtaking. The clatter of horse hooves was deafening, as if the very earth itself were trembling. The intense vibrations could be felt even kilometers away.

"Huh~~" Li Xingyun let out a long breath, then slowly stood up. He casually picked up a piece of clothing and wiped his muscular chest muscles. A helpless smile appeared on his face. He turned to look at Li Xingmeng and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Li Xingmeng looked quite disheveled. Her clothes had been torn to shreds, even her socks. However, in response to Li Xingyun's questioning, she simply chuckled and replied weakly, "Not... not so bad!" Before she could finish her words, she collapsed like a deflated ball and passed out.

Li Xingyun shook his head helplessly upon seeing this. He walked over to Li Xingmeng, gazing at her face, slightly pale from exhaustion, a surge of pity welling up in his heart. However, he didn't waste any time, quickly pulling out a fresh set of clothes from the system space and quickly changing into them, restoring his former neat appearance.

Li Xingyun was about to leave the Princess's Residence and return to Prince Qin's Residence. Just as he was about to step out of the Princess's Residence, a sudden system notification sounded like thunder in his ears.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully expanding their territory! Successfully occupied the Canglan Tribe of the Beiming Empire, Imperial Luck Value +0.1! Congratulations to the host for expanding their territory, and obtaining 100 system points!]

Li Xingyun was startled by the sudden notification sound and stopped dead in his tracks. Before he could recover, another series of system notification sounds rang out.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully expanding their territory! Successfully occupied the Canglang Tribe of the Beiming Empire, Imperial Luck Value +0.1! Congratulations to the host for expanding their territory, and obtaining 100 system points!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully expanding their territory! Successfully occupied the King Kong Tribe of the Southern Barbarian Empire, Imperial Luck Value +0.1! Congratulations to the host for expanding their territory, and gaining 100 system points!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully expanding their territory! Successfully occupied the Cangshi Tribe of the Southern Barbarian Empire, Imperial Luck Value +0.1! Congratulations to the host for expanding their territory, and gaining 100 system points!]

This series of system notifications sounded like a hornet's nest, ding-ding-ding non-stop, leaving no time to check the specific information. Li Xingyun stood there, somewhat bewildered by this sudden situation.

Li Xingyun was extremely anxious. He had no time to rush back to Prince Qin's Mansion. He hurriedly found a table nearby and sat down. Then he couldn't wait to start the system and began to study it carefully.

"Are we going to take action? How come it's so fast?" Li Xingyun was full of doubts. These system prompts were all caused by the expansion of territory, but what surprised him was that according to common sense, Ye Xian should have just arrived in Shenwu City not long ago, and he might not even have had time to issue the mission, let alone complete the major task of expanding the territory!

The more Li Xingyun thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't figure out what was going on. However, he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, expanding his territory early was a good thing for him.

"The Emperor's Luck value is increasing, and the system points are also increasing, but no substantial benefits have been generated yet. I guess it's because the quantity is not enough." Li Xingyun stared at the bonus information in the Emperor's Luck panel and found that they had not changed at all. He pondered in his heart.

Suddenly, Li Xingyun had an idea and shouted to the system: "System! Can you block the system prompt sound first?" He was really annoyed by the series of prompt sounds.

Normally, system notifications rarely sounded, so they didn't have much of an impact on Li Xingyun's daily life. However, at this moment, the continuous notifications were truly irritating!

[Ding! System notification sound has been blocked! System messages require the host to check them themselves!]

Fortunately, the system was quite powerful and quickly resolved Li Xingyun's problem. Li Xingyun stood up with a sense of relief and left the Princess's Residence without hesitation, returning directly to the Prince of Qin's Residence. He was extremely anxious, eager to find Yuan Tiangang and find out what had happened!

As soon as he stepped into the study of Prince Qin's mansion, Li Xingyun couldn't wait to shout to Old Feng, "Where's Yuan Tiangang? Hurry and ask him to come see me!"

Upon hearing this, Old Feng nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, Your Highness!" His face beamed with joy as he ran out. Ever since Li Xingyun left Shenwu City, Old Feng had been feeling incredibly bored. He had originally planned to join Li Cunxu or Wang Yanzhang on the expedition, but Yuan Tiangang had kept him back, claiming he needed to familiarize himself with Shenwu City. Now, even just running an errand made Old Feng feel exceptionally happy.

Not long after, Yuan Tiangang appeared at the study door like a ghost. He did not push the door open as usual, but stood outside. After a brief pause, he said in a low and solemn voice, "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

This sudden courtesy surprised Li Xingyun. He couldn't help but frown and responded doubtfully, "Huh? If you're here, just come in. Why are we so formal with each other? You should just forget about all this red tape!"

However, when Yuan Tiangang slowly walked into the study, Li Xingyun suddenly felt something strange in his heart. He looked closely and immediately realized that something seemed amiss with Yuan Tiangang today.

Yuan Tiangang, who practiced the extremely masculine Tiangang Jue, exuded a masculine aura. Even when dressed in a badass costume and wearing a mask, he still gave off a friendly and comfortable vibe.

But today, that feeling completely disappeared. Furthermore, Li Xingyun even felt that Yuan Tiangang's cultivation had become quite strange. He stared intently at Yuan Tiangang, only to find that he couldn't even discern his true cultivation level, as if a layer of fog had enveloped him.

Li Xingyun was secretly shocked. He had never encountered such a situation before. To find out the truth, he activated his Eye of Truth without hesitation, hoping to penetrate the fog and see Yuan Tiangang's true cultivation level.
