By eavesdropping on the barbarian Cultivators' whispers, Li Yao also got a piece of crucial information.
Ling Shoujing, the newly appointed Appeasing Ambassador of the Fifth Prefecture of the Southland of Sorcerers, had two purposes for his journey.
Firstly, he was there to back Huo Wuji and sustain the Great Qian Dynasty's nominal reign in the place.
But his second purpose was actually to draft the barbarian soldiers to suppress the insurrections of the White Lotus Cult, the Heaven Battering King, and Ghost Qin.
It appeared that the Great Qian Dynasty was indeed seriously short of soldiers and had to exploit the places harder even though it was not a good approach in the long term.
