In the carriage, Ou Yangming turned paler as the Military Fire disappeared.

Nonetheless, he smiled when he looked at the saber in his hands.

For several days, he entrusted all affairs to Bai Shixue and urged that they headed to Changlong County's prefecture as fast as they could. As for himself, he camped in the carriage like a newly-advanced Supreme Great Ancestor, who was trying to stabilize his boundary.

Ou Yangming was neither cultivating nor practicing hard, he used the peculiar stones given by Wu Hanning to smith magic tools.

Yes, he began to smith magic tools in the carriage.

The young fellow initially promised everyone that he could gather bizarre stones once they arrived at Changlong County's prefecture and would smith magic tools.

Who knew, his plan fell behind changes. The moment Ou Yangming knew the prefecture was being surrounded and countless ferocious beasts had strangely appeared around the city, he could not wait any longer. As such, he began to upgrade everyone's strength.

Needless to say, before Ou Yangming smithed the magic tools, he would summon the newly-advanced great ancestors one by one into his carriage to talk to them. He needed to grasp their strengths to customize their magic tools.

Although Ou Yangming had fought each of them once, having a face-to-face conversation with them could help him better understand everything.

The Supreme Great Ancestors from the various clans were thrilled and grateful to have been called to his carriage.

They would be given a magic tool, after all.

Every clan either had none or a fixed number of magic tools, hence one would be incredibly lucky to be given one.

Half a year ago, people would definitely snort disdainfully at the idea of customized magic tools, which would also be the biggest joke after a meal. Nevertheless, only when they finally sat opposite Ou Yangming and fully expressed their special likes and requests, they realized that they could receive their long-desired treatment, which they dared not dream about at all.

When the first magic tool was smithed and was sent to Chen Yixian, the atmosphere in the whole convoy almost went crazy.

It was a spear—the Chen family's disciples' fondest weapon.

However, the weapon was a magic tool, by which Chen Yifan could certainly sweep everyone off with it.

Following that, the second, the third… And even the twenty-fifth magic weapon—a spear that was being smithed by Ou Yangming at the moment—was completed.

Ou Yangming unleashed his greatest strength without any reservations as he did not want to have any regrets. Therefore, the 25 magic tools were smithed in the shortest time possible without any mistakes.

Even though the other people were not blacksmiths, as long as they were not fools, they knew how exactly difficult it was to accomplish the task.

The smithing of 25 magic tools in a short period without fail.

With that, Ou Yangming had a higher position in their hearts. At that point, the powerhouses also understood better the reason the imperial family valued the young fellow so much.

Despite that, they did not know that even the imperial family's supreme elder had no clue that Ou Yangming was this capable.

If Wu Yuanwei was aware that Ou Yangming could continuously smith 25 magic tools with a 100% success rate, he might not have allowed him to return to Changlong County to risk his life.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply when he looked at the magic saber in his hand as he was pleased. He later drew the curtain apart and left his carriage for the first time in a few days.

Beside his carriage, a plump middle-aged man had been waiting for some time.

The man's eyes immediately lit up at the sight of Ou Yangming and the saber.

Ou Yangming nodded and handed the saber to the man. "I've completed your magic tool according to your requests. Please familiarize yourself with the weapon's properties as soon as possible because we'll be making a move soon."

The man accepted the saber right away and touched it lovingly, but he also expressed without any hesitation, "Master Ou, don't worry, I'm well-prepared and can fight anytime."

Ou Yangming nodded and flashed to the side of Bai Shixue's carriage, where he briefed her softly.

"Brother Ou, fret not. You've just smithed 25 magic tools consecutively, so they worship you as if you're a deity. Nobody will disobey me if I give an order now," Bai Shixue noted with a smile, then she lowered her voice and added, "because they're afraid that you'll settle accounts with them when it all ends."

"Young Pavilion Master, you're joking. Please keep moving forward; you must bring them to the prefecture."

Bai Shixue glanced at the 26 fully-equipped Supreme Great Ancestors and asked softly, "You're bringing so many great ancestors over. Are you that worried?"

Ou Yangming answered seriously after some thought, "I've never seen a spirit beast, but given that it can cause such a huge loss for the Humans, it mustn't be underestimated. A total of 100 great ancestors together is my biggest trump card against the spirit beast."

The young pavilion master assured the young fellow with a straight face. "Okay, I promise I'll send all of them to Changlong County's prefecture."

Subsequently, Ou Yangming nodded and approached the 26 Supreme Great Ancestors.

Woo Lejia patted the nine-ringed saber on his back and asked loudly, "Master Ou, can we leave now?"

"Let's go!"

Ou Yangming shouted and led the way.

The departure of the 26 Supreme Great Ancestors would cause a drastic change in the convoy's overall strength.

Having said that, there were more than 70 Supreme Great Ancestors left. While they were still stabilizing their boundaries in their respective carriage, they were in the Extreme Grade indeed. Moreover, among the over 1,000 followers in the convoy, many of them were Yang Grade powerhouses.

They were mighty enough to fight the spirit beast if they encountered it.

Ou Yangming and the other people traveled at the speed of light and left the convoy behind them in no time. At the spur of the moment, his face changed, and he stopped to look in a certain direction.

Woo Lejia and the other people were alarmed. They looked in that direction too but did not notice anything unusual.

They exchanged glances and thought, 'Were we mistaken?'

Ou Yangming asked out loud all of a sudden, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

The other people were stunned, and they had strange looks on their faces.

Sure enough, the space in that direction seemed to have fluctuated a bit. Wu Hanning, whose face was still covered by a scarf, revealed herself.

It was the imperial family's hiding trick where even most great ancestors would not notice it at all. Upon seeing this, the other powerhouses looked at Ou Yangming with more respect.

As Ou Yangming exhibited more of his abilities and skills, they had more respect for him.

Since Wu Hanning was exposed, she no longer hid and showed up in front of the great ancestors.

The powerhouses had become Supreme Great Ancestors, but they dared not pride themselves on their seniority in front of Wu Hanning. It was not only because of the princess's identity but also because she was exceptionally capable.

None of the great ancestors present could guarantee that they could successfully defeat Her Royal Highness.

Though they now possessed a magic tool each, they were not confident about being victorious at all.

"Brother Ou, I'd like to go to Changlong County's prefecture to take a look too," Wu Hanning replied firmly to Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and remarked, "Don't fool around! It's too dangerous there, so if you follow us there, y-you…"

Woo Lejia and the others looked at each other and cursed to themselves.

'Didn't you claim that there's a misunderstanding between you and Her Highness and that nothing's going on between you?

'Judging from your tone when you speak to Her Highness, how are you merely normal friends?

'I suppose less than five people from the imperial family have the guts to lecture Her Highness for fooling around.'

"Since you're allowed to go there, I can do the same too," Wu Hanning commented proudly. He looked at the Supreme Great Ancestors around her and said, "I won't be a burden to you."

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. "I know you're extremely powerful and have numerous treasures with you, but that's a battlefield. If you get injured, how am I going to explain this to your elders?"

The other powerhouses looked around and dared not meddle in the situation.

Under the circumstances, it would not be wise to offend either of them.

"Ah, I see you don't trust me, Brother Ou." Wu Hanning's eyes gleamed, then she turned her wrist gently, causing a cold light to be seen.

When the cold intent appeared, the temperature in the air dropped without warning, and it enveloped everyone in a split second.

Everyone shuddered, and they sensed that the intense chill was about to penetrate their bodies.

What frightened them more was the cold intent was not only attacking their bodies but also their consciousness.

The powerhouses instantly got out of the way and left Wu Hanning to Ou Yangming.

'It's this young fella's fault. We're not going to take the blame for him!'

Ou Yangming quivered as well, and he was surprised when he looked at the longsword, which was previously smithed by him.

He knew the longsword carried two Unique Attributes, but he did not know that it was so formidable.

The Ice Attribute Might 3 was a power that could only be released through the cooperation between great mental power and distinctive physique. Much to his surprise, Wu Hanning managed to exert the power, and it was so mighty that even Woo Lejia and the other Supreme Great Ancestors could not resist it.

Ou Yangming became more curious about the longsword's other special skill—the Freeze Combo.

His face changed as he took a deep breath because he was almost choked by the cold intent around him.

Struck with a thought, a red light emerged in Ou Yangming's body to drive out the chill. He later nodded and said, "Okay, since Your Highness insists, let's go."

Wu Hanning finally nodded as she was satisfied. She turned her wrist again to put her longsword away.

When they continued their journey, Woo Lejia and the other people intentionally kept a distance away from Ou Yangming and Wu Hanning.

They traveled as fast as they could and hurried on for two days before they vaguely heard a deafening roar in the distance.
