Chapter 456 - 450: Profound Ice Immortal
"The nation is preparing for the Eastern Expedition..."
Merely seeing these few words, even though the urgent talisman communication from the sect didn’t mention that Ye Zhen had to return immediately, Ye Zhen decided to leave right away and head back to the Qiyun Sect.
It had been almost three and a half years since he entered the Ancient Demon Soul Battlefield and seized the War Soul Blood Flag.
If other empires had captured the War Soul Blood Flag, they would usually start a campaign immediately, but the Black Water Kingdom was different.
The Black Water Kingdom had to fend off enemies from all directions and kept them from breaching the national borders, suffering heavy losses in national power, so after Ye Zhen reclaimed the War Soul Blood Flag, the Black Water Kingdom did not launch a war.
Instead, under the deterrence of the War Soul Blood Flag, they began to recuperate. With the War Soul Blood Flag stationed within the Black Water Kingdom, the surrounding nations, even including the Southern Barbarian Tribes, did not dare to start a war lightly against the Black Water Kingdom.
Under such circumstances, the national power of the Black Water Kingdom was rapidly recovering.
However, in everyone’s understanding, after reclaiming the War Soul Blood Flag, it could only last for five years. Although the national power of the Black Water Kingdom had not fully recovered, they still began the Eastern Expedition.
If they didn’t initiate the Eastern Expedition, in a year and a half, the War Soul Blood Flag would fly away.
As for the fact that Ye Zhen had made the War Soul Blood Flag recognize him as its permanent master, thus permanently controlling it, Ye Zhen had no intention of disclosing this.
