Tie Mu Zhen led out the kingly generals under his command:
"Marshal, the eagles of the prairie do not fear storms, and the wolf riders of the Golden Family only ask where the enemy is."
"Please give the order and let the warriors of the prairie tear apart all your enemies."
Lin Zhan nodded emotionally. Although these prairie warriors riding on husky dogs did not look impressive, they were truly reliable. When you needed them, they would step up.
"Thank you, Old Ancestor Tie Mu Zhen, for your concern. The warriors of the prairie are worthy of the name eagles, but this time the enemy is the Corpse Witch tribe. The old ancestors of the Great Shang dynasty estimate that the enemy will send Emperor-level powerhouses to assassinate, so..."
Before Lin Zhan could finish, a kingly general beside Tie Mu Zhen exclaimed in surprise:
"Emperor-level powerhouse... Tengger, is the Marshal doomed?"
"Marshal, the sun on the prairie will set eventually, and wounded heroes grow tired of fighting. For your safety, let's call it off."
Lin Zhan stared blankly at the prairie kings and muttered, "Damn, I knew those who rode huskies were unreliable."
A group of Great Han kings sitting on small stools, cracking melon seeds, watched the unfolding drama.
Han Gao Zu Liu Bang turned to Liu Che and Liu Xiu, who had rejoined them, and asked:
"You two went to the Great Shang ancestral court for a trip, it wasn't in vain, was it? Are the old ancestors of the Great Shang doing well?"
Liu Xiu quickly nodded and said:
"Oh my, old ancestors, the old ancestors of the Great Shang are incredibly formidable. There are four coffins at the Great Emperor level alone, and over ten bronze coffins at the Emperor level. Their strength is immense."
Liu Bang nodded and said, "Hmm, we must find a way to acknowledge this kinship. It seems we need to invite Elder Ancestor Yan to come out of seclusion. By the way, did you two receive any benefits from this trip?"
Liu Xiu and Liu Che exchanged glances and shook their heads together, saying, "No, we did it as voluntary labor."
Liu Bang nodded but still muttered suspiciously:
"That shouldn't be the case. My in-laws are proud people. How could they let their juniors travel for nothing?"
Liu Che and Liu Xiu looked at their old ancestor. Although he was suspicious, he didn't say anything further, and they nodded with relief.
After Lin Zhan's safe advancement, Zi Qi, in his joy, casually threw out two Ascending Emperor Pills as rewards to Liu Che and Liu Xiu.
These two sons of destiny discussed it and decided to keep it secret, as they had earned it through their labor.
Lin Zhan looked at the young Taoist priest and said:
"Brother-in-law, if we want to expand our gains, our current troop strength is definitely not enough. Let's transfer Li Si Ye and the Mo Dao Army over. They can be used to directly confront the Corpse Witch tribe."
The young Taoist priest nodded and said:
"It can also serve as a precaution. Those guys in the Mo Dao Army are fierce. Moreover, Old Ancestor Si Ye is about to advance to the Emperor level after his battle with the lizardmen. However, Old Ancestor Si Ye wants to conquer a few more planes to solidify his foundation as a Human Emperor."
Lin Zhan considered it and nodded:
"Our Huaxia is blessed with talented people and spiritual energy. If humanity hadn't declined back then, who knows how many Emperors we could have produced. Foundation, it seems not only Old Ancestor Li Si Ye but also Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Wu Qi, Li Jing, and the few King-level old ancestors of the Liu family, as long as their talent meets the standard, they must be trained to become foundational Human Emperors, otherwise, it would be a waste."
The young Taoist priest was stunned, then he carefully considered for a while and said to Lin Zhan:
"Then Big Brother, if we can't do anything else, let's start a cram school. We can even collect tuition fees. You don't know how rich these old ancestors are now."
Lin Zhan's eyes lit up:
"This can work. We can divide it into elementary, intermediate, and advanced classes. For the elementary class, let Old Ancestor Di Xin lecture. For the intermediate class, let Old Ancestor Wu Ding lecture. For the advanced class, let Old Ancestor Shang Jia Wei lecture."
"As for the tuition fees, let's set them at 1 million Lord-level Crystal Cores for the elementary class, 3 million Lord-level Crystal Cores for the intermediate class, and 5 million Lord-level Crystal Cores for the advanced class. If they don't have money, we can give them loans, and it will be deducted from their salaries, as you are the one who pays them anyway."
The young Taoist priest said excitedly, "Big Brother, are we setting the interest rate at 8% and the repayment at 'nine out, thirteen return'..."
Chang Ruo and Cao Yu, who were sitting behind the two, listened and felt increasingly uneasy. They exchanged glances.
They went up and each kicked Lin Dashao and Zhang Xiaoguānjia away.
"Dad, these two scoundrels are becoming more and more outrageous. It seems we need to discipline them strictly," said Cao Yu seriously to his father.
Chang Ruo nodded: "Indeed, what is this? They are even trying to trick us old ancestors into working for them for free."
"However, what these two little rascals are saying makes sense. If we really set up a cram school, we can not only guide these King-level youngsters properly but also earn some private money to supplement the household expenses."
Cao Yu nodded and said:
"Hehe, Dad, I've already thought about it. After this war is over, Bi Gan and Wen Zhong should also be close to advancing to the foundational level. Let Bi Gan and Wen Zhong be responsible for recruitment. The name will be the Huaxia Great Shang Foundational Human Emperor Sprinting Cram School. My father and I will hold the titles of president and vice-president, and we will take the lion's share of the profits."
Chang Ruo said with a smile:
"Not bad, you're finally using your brain, kid. Remember to give Shang Jia Wei a bit more. He's our head of academics. Also, isn't the name of your academy too long and hard to remember?"
Cao Yu chuckled and pointed at the two turtle shells on the ground:
"Dad, you don't understand this. The longer the name, the more advanced it sounds. That's what those two guys said."
Lin Zhan got up, brushed the dust off his body, and pulled the young Taoist priest out of the pit.
As soon as the young Taoist priest came out, he pouted and said, "Plagiarism, this is blatant plagiarism."
"Alas, forget it, brother-in-law. When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. We still depend on these old ancestors to protect us. Go and summon Li Si Ye and the Mo Dao Army. I'll go check the spatial rift. In two more days, we'll have to attack."
The young Taoist priest nodded and hurriedly took out the tiger tally to summon Li Si Ye from his spatial bag.
Lin Zhan, leading the five great pandas of the Tie family, walked towards the teleportation gate at the spatial rift.
Liu Bang, leading a group of Liu family kings, followed closely behind Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan looked at the Liu family kings and knew that because they had obtained the inheritance of Yu Long Yan, the Liu family never treated him as an outsider. He quickly asked:
"Greetings, Old Ancestor Liu Bang. What business do you have with me?"
Liu Bang shook his head and said, "Nothing much. Just want to tell you, we are all family. If you need anything, just say it. Although our Old Liu family doesn't have any Human Emperors, if you really want to clash with someone, we can still bring out dozens of kings for you. So, go ahead with whatever you need to do. As long as it's about you, Lin kid, the Old Liu family will unconditionally support you."
Lin Zhan listened to Han Gao Zu Liu Bang's long-winded persuasion and said emotionally, "It's still our own family. They are much more reliable than those riding huskies."
