Chapter 885: Chapter 592: Hidden Moves, Strategy, The Situation at Ice Extreme Pass (2)
“Yes!”
The two responded in unison, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
They knew better than anyone that if the Moon Ghost Army discovered their betrayal, sticking by Qin Tian’s side would put them in danger.
Neither the Moon Ghost Army nor the Shinguji Clan behind them would spare these two traitors, and they would go to any lengths to hunt them down.
Going incognito, leaving Mingwang Planet, and secretly forming a force is undoubtedly the best choice right now.
“However…”
Qin Tian’s tone shifted, carrying a hint of amusement: “Do you think the Moon Ghost Army, upon knowing that neither of you died, will try everything to redeem you?”
“They definitely will!”
Yagyu Saburo didn’t hesitate and nodded immediately: “The Legion can’t afford to lose three Tier Seven Spiritualists. Master, do you mean… let us go back as undercover agents?”
His tone carried a bit of nervousness.
If they returned, the Moon Ghost Army, being cautious, would surely conduct thorough checks on them, and by then, the Soul Seals in the Sea of Souls would be impossible to hide.
If exposed, their situation would become perilous.
“Of course not.” Qin Tian smiled faintly, reassuring Yagyu Saburo, “I’ve already mentioned your arrangements. However, I will indeed use you two to set another trap for the Moon Ghost Army—let’s see if they dare take the bait.”
At this point, Qin Tian’s lips curled into a cold arc.
He would show the Moon Ghost Army and the Shinguji Clan that extending their hands recklessly would come at a price.
……
“Is everything taken care of?”
In the quiet room, Dongfang Mingyue offered a cup of tea gently to Qin Tian.
The porcelain teacup held a clear, bright brew, with the tea scent wafting subtly, carrying a faint hint of Spiritual Qi.
Qin Tian took the cup, sipped it lightly; the warm tea slid down his throat, and a wave of sweetness and warmth quickly spread through his body, revitalizing him and lifting his spirits.
“Great tea.” A gleam of appreciation flashed in Qin Tian’s eyes.
Dongfang Mingyue smiled warmly, “This is Muling Tea from the family, meant for my teacher, but I kept some for myself and put it on your desk.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian’s eyes glinted with amusement, teasing, “If Tower Master Xu knows you’re so ‘partial,’ keeping the good tea meant for him for me, he might feel quite betrayed.”
Dongfang Mingyue’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she replied earnestly with a hint of playful defiance, “There’s nothing I can do; you’re more important to me than the teacher.”
A simple sentence, filled with sincere affection.
Qin Tian’s gaze softened immediately; he leaned forward slightly, gently brushing against her tender lips.
Dongfang Mingyue’s body stiffened momentarily, then she wrapped her arms gently around his neck, responding tenderly without any hesitation.
Days and days of worry, longing, and care, all the tension and unease, dissolved and settled in that kiss, transforming into the softest bond between them.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Qin Tian looked down, seeing a faint blush on Dongfang Mingyue’s pretty face, like a blooming peach blossom, captivatingly beautiful. She stepped back slightly, shyly pursing her lips, her eyes darting, not daring to meet Qin Tian’s gaze.
Qin Tian couldn’t help but chuckle, gently brushing away stray hairs from her cheeks, speaking softly, “Ming Yue, want to accompany me to see Ice Extreme Pass? I haven’t returned in a few months and want to see the new changes.”
“Sure.” Dongfang Mingyue lifted her head, the shyness in her eyes slowly fading, leaving only delight and anticipation, nodding lightly.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Tian took Dongfang Mingyue’s hand.
The next moment, a soft spatial ripple surrounded them, and their figures disappeared from the room, reappearing directly above Ice Extreme Pass.
In just a few months, Ice Extreme Pass had seen substantial changes.
The city now reached the standard of a medium-sized city, with wide, clean streets crisscrossing extensively; the core area had formed a mature commercial district with bustling crowds and lively chatter—a prosperous scene with over eighty percent of Mingwang Planet’s transactions concentrated here, bustling with people and vehicles.
Furthermore, Qin Tian specially invited top designers from the Empire Planning Institute to beautifully design Ice Extreme Pass with comprehensive plans, featuring distinct zones and architectural styles—practical and defensive fortress-like structures and elegantly streamlined residential areas dot the landscape in orderly fashion.
The overall framework of the city is complete, with several residential areas finished, awaiting new residents.
Based on the current plans, this city resting on the snowfields can accommodate five hundred thousand people.
For Mingwang Planet, once seen as hostile and desolate, even considered a forbidden zone for life, this is undoubtedly an incredible miracle.
Moreover, Ice Extreme Pass’s outer circle reserves sufficient space for expansion; when Mingwang Planet’s immigration wave truly hits, the population capacity of Ice Extreme Pass will multiply, becoming the most prosperous core city of Mingwang Planet.
“Let’s check out the next place.”
Qin Tian held Dongfang Mingyue’s hand tightly, the spatial waves flashed once more, their figures traversing instantly above Satellite City No. 2. According to previous plans, Ice Extreme Pass will adopt a lotus structure, with satellite cities layering around the main city.
