Chapter 643: Summoning Scroll of the Yellow Turban Legion
September 25, 2017
Since Lu HaiKong wanted to form an alliance with Dong Zhuo, he would not simply hand over Zhang Jiao's head and consider the matter settled.
Next, Lu HaiKong needed to communicate with Zhang Jiao, exchanging goodwill and discussing all necessary matters.
Lu HaiKong was well aware that after giving Dong Zhuo the head, he would want to have a thorough conversation, and it was likely that Dong Zhuo would have the same idea.
However, Lu HaiKong had no time to deal with these matters at the moment. He was exhausted and, and after returning to the camp, Lu HaiKong took a shower and fell asleep immediately.
There was no other way; he had first fought with Zhao Er for an entire day, then conquered a dungeon, especially with the overwhelming power of the Sea-Splitting Axe, which was a significant burden for Lu HaiKong. Additionally, Lu HaiKong had forgotten about his meeting with Zhang Jiao, and the sealed or erased memories also took a toll on his mental state.
However, Lu HaiKong was a strong man; he only rested for a day, and on the next day, he was full of energy again and began his busy schedule.
At this time, Lu HaiKong's busyness revolved around two matters. One was the aftermath of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the other was related to Dong Zhuo.
The aftermath of the rebellion also had two aspects. One was the military aspect, but Lu HaiKong could relax a little in this regard as Gao Shun and Wang Ti could handle the situation in Guangping. Therefore, Lu HaiKong only needed to focus on some key points.
As for the other aspect of the aftermath, it was the much-anticipated treasure chests and rewards. Lu HaiKong checked these as soon as he woke up.
[Congratulations on completing the Yellow Turban Rebellion dungeon. You have obtained one Mythical Chest.]
[You have successfully killed two Yellow Turban Generals. You have obtained two Legendary Chests.]
[Your subordinate, Dian Wei, has killed two Yellow Turban Generals. You have obtained two Legendary Chests.]
[You have completed the mission 'Yellow Turban Armageddon'. You have gained 50 million Great Han Army merits, one Mythical Chest, three mission rewards, and one random divine weapon.]
[The Yellow Turban Rebellion storyline has officially concluded. Great Han Army merit exchange is now available. Please complete your reward redemption within half a month.]
These were the system prompts Lu HaiKong received in the Governor's Mansion, only five in total, but the rewards were incredibly rich, almost unprecedented for Lu HaiKong.
There were two Mythical-tier chests and four Legendary-tier chests, along with the mission rewards. However, Zhang Jiao's chest seemed to be categorized as part of the mission, so the haul was slightly less than Lu HaiKong had expected, with one fewer Mythical-tier chest.
In reality, Lu HaiKong was unaware that he had actually profited.
Zhang Jiao had already failed in his challenge against the rebellion system, and in the end, Zhang Jiao was clearly reset by the system. The Zhang Jiao that Lu HaiKong faced, although stronger than the one in the 'Book of Great Peace', lacked political and strategic prowess, falling far short of Zhang Jiao's true capabilities.
Only under such circumstances could Lu HaiKong have a chance to defeat Zhang Jiao. Otherwise, if Lu HaiKong had faced the genuine Zhang Jiao, he probably wouldn't even know how he died, let alone expect any treasure chests.
Regarding the memories of this part, Zhang Jiao had sealed them using some unknown means, and Lu HaiKong was unaware of the details. He didn't remember Zhang Jiao's challenge to the system or the true strength of the real Zhang Jiao, so he was slightly dissatisfied with the missing Mythical Chest.
Lu HaiKong didn't immediately enjoy the rewards from the treasure chests but instead dealt with the items dropped by Zhang Jiao and the four Yellow Turban Generals.
After all, they were in Julu, not at Zhang Jiao's base. If Lu HaiKong opened the treasure chests and obtained several million gold, he wouldn't be able to form a large legion, as transportation and explaining the source of the gold would become significant issues.
Therefore, Lu HaiKong decided to put these items aside for now. Since he hadn't claimed them yet, the system could conveniently store them for him. Once he finished handling matters here, Lu HaiKong could bring his team back to Handan and use the Great Teleportation Token to return to Bing Province, claim his rewards, store the items in his base, and then go to Yingchuan with Xi ZhiCai.
As for the items dropped by Zhang Jiao and the four Yellow Turban Generals, now that they had been picked up, they needed to be processed and inspected.
The items dropped by Zhang Jiao and the four Yellow Turban Generals were indeed numerous. What caught Lu HaiKong's attention the most was a Martial Soul Stone of Zhang Jiao, and its benefits were well-known to all.
Apart from the Martial Soul Stone, there were four other items among the drops that piqued Lu HaiKong's interest.
One was a secret manual, a copy of the 'Book of Great Peace'. Lu HaiKong had obtained a similar manual from Zhang Bao, but this one seemed slightly different. Zhang Bao's copy had the word 'incomplete' at the back, while this one appeared to be the genuine article, although its cultivation prerequisites were extremely high.
Secret Scripture of Great Peace
Description: One of the top Taoist scriptures, requiring exceptionally high cultivation talent and mental state to practice.
Cultivation Requirements: Politics: 85, Strategy: 85, Mental Cultivation: 85
Ps: Contains a mysterious heritage. Those who meet certain conditions can ignore the cultivation requirements and directly accept the heritage.
The three attributes were all at 85, so there was nothing unusual about them. However, the last one, "Heart Cultivation," left Li HaiKong puzzled. What was this mysterious heritage all about?
Li HaiKong sensed that this book held some extraordinary secrets, perhaps even hidden within its pages. But these secrets, he estimated, would not be easily unraveled.
Aside from this, there were three more items:
Earth Dragon Rune
Rune Description: This rune was crafted by Zhang Jiao using high-quality paper and the blood of the finest exotic beasts. It is an offensive spell rune that enables the use of the Earth Dragon Technique.
Rune Grade: Legendary
Usage Count: 1/1
Yellow Turban Legion Summoning Scroll (Legendary Grade)
Item Type: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Item Effect: Summons the Yellow Turban Legion (400 Yellow Turban Warriors with a combat power of 80 and 4 Yellow Turban Generals with a combat power of 95). The effect lasts for three hours, and during this time, the summoner remains immortal as long as they do not leave the legion.
Note: The summoner must not move more than a mile away from the legion.
These two items had clear purposes and obvious effects, and they were both quite good. However, the last item was a bit strange—it was a fragment of a sword blade.
In the book, there was a mysterious blade fragment, and Li HaiKong couldn't help but take a look.
Mysterious Blade Fragment
Item Description: Seems to be a part of some treasure sword.
???
The description was full of question marks, leaving Li HaiKong even more confused. The Celestial Eye Technique could only provide him with this much information, but Li HaiKong felt that this item was incredibly important. It seemed to possess a terrifying power, and its specific use could probably only be discovered after assembling the fragments. Well, it was another item to add to his collection.
With this, the inspection of Zhang Jiao and the Four Divine Generals was complete. Of course, the items they dropped were just appetizers for Li HaiKong. After finishing them, he was ready for the main course, but he had to wait until later. Then, he got busy.
Li HaiKong's task was to form an alliance with Dong Zhuo, or, as some might say, collude with the wolf.
After Li HaiKong delivered Zhang Jiao's head, the two officially joined forces. Despite their previous disagreements and conflicts, they were both well-intentioned at this point, as they needed each other.
Li HaiKong and Dong Zhuo had a good conversation, and after staying in Julu for two days, they successfully established the alliance. Li HaiKong then left with his troops, heading straight back to Handan.
At this point, Li HaiKong could have entrusted his troops to Zhao Er and returned to Bingzhou himself using the Great Teleportation Token to claim his rewards. He could have taken some time to digest his recent gains, but he was concerned about Xi Zhi Cai, so he decided to return to Handan first and meet with him.
Of course, Li HaiKong returned with the Black Wind Legion and did not go to Guangping to retrieve the tens of thousands of troops there. It would have taken too much time to return with such a large force, but Li HaiKong ordered the troops in Guangping to withdraw to Handan.
After returning to Handan with the Black Wind Legion, Li HaiKong went to see Xi Zhi Cai.
Xi Zhi Cai's condition had improved significantly. Fortunately, they had found a skilled physician in Handan who took good care of him. However, despite his improved appearance, Xi Zhi Cai still needed more time to recover before he could travel long distances. At least another half a month was required.
In other words, Xi Zhi Cai should stay in Handan for the time being and not return to Bingzhou or go to Yingchuan.
Understanding the situation, Li HaiKong firmly insisted that Xi Zhi Cai rest. After spending so much time together, Xi Zhi Cai knew Li HaiKong's temperament well. He also knew that with his small and fragile body, if he didn't take care of himself, he might not live much longer. So, Xi Zhi Cai obediently accepted Li HaiKong's advice.
After meeting with Xi Zhi Cai, Li HaiKong stayed in Handan for two more days, taking care of some local matters. Once everything was settled, Li HaiKong asked Chen Ping to prepare 100,000 gold coins, and he used the Great Teleportation Token he had obtained recently to return to Bingzhou.
The Great Teleportation Token was a reward Li HaiKong had received in the Guangping battle. Each use required 100,000 gold coins, and it had a cooldown period of three days. It could teleport a person thousands of miles away.
This was the first time Li HaiKong had used such an item.
However, Li HaiKong did not enjoy the experience. It was too painful.
Using it was simple; he just had to think of the destination, and the teleportation was swift. In the blink of an eye, Li HaiKong found himself back in Northern Fortress City.
But upon his return, Li HaiKong felt something was wrong. A wave of dizziness and nausea swept over him, and he almost couldn't stand it. Fortunately, he had teleported to the lord's hall in Northern Fortress City, so there was no need to worry about anyone seeing him in this state. It took a while for Li HaiKong to recover from this unpleasant sensation.
Once he felt better, Li HaiKong pushed open the doors of the hall and stepped outside...
