The four kings, Taixu, Taihua, Yao Cheng, and Si Tuan, were captured alive by Fang Jian. This news directly shocked the entire Great Court.
And the one who spread the news as quickly as possible was still the 'Feng Yi Clan' from last time.
When the five Taifu at the forum heard the news, they immediately thought that the Fengyi tribe was spreading rumors. However, when the news of the entire Lingqi Dao Kingdom's fall reached Yujing City, the five Taifu were also a little stupid. .
The news that the entire Lingqi Dao Kingdom had fallen was not brought by the Fengyi tribe, but was reported to the forum by letters from the surrounding Dao kingdoms. There was absolutely no way this news was false.
Although the news that the four Taoists were captured alive has not been confirmed at this time, the fall of the entire Lingqi Tao Kingdom seems to prove the authenticity of the news from the side.
However, four first-class kings were captured alive all of a sudden. This kind of thing had never happened before. The five Taifus immediately couldn't sit still and immediately went to the Regent Palace to meet the five regents.
When the five Taiwanese assistants came to the Regency Hall, they discovered that the four regents Taoist Taiyi, Taoist Taiji, Taoist Taichu, and Taoist Taichu had already arrived at the Regency Hall.
The five Taiwan assistants immediately came forward to pay their respects. Taoist Taiyi said calmly: "Ping Shen."
"Thank you Taoist Taoist Taiyi." The five Taifus stood up to express their gratitude, and then Taoist Taoist Taizhen reported: "To all the regents, Taoist Master Taiyi, rumors have been widely circulated among the Fengyi clan recently, saying that Taixu, Taihua, Yao Cheng, and Si Tuan The king of the country was captured alive by Fang Jian, the rebel in heaven."
But before Taozhen Taoist Master Taiyi finished speaking, Taoist Master Taiyi said: "That is not a rumor, the four of them have indeed been captured alive by Fang Jian."
As soon as Taiyi Daozun said these words, the five Taiwan assistants were stunned, and then their eyes showed disbelief.
"But that Fang Jian is just Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian." Honglu Taitai Futai and Tao Zun said with wide eyes.
Taiji Taoist Master said: "Not long ago, he has achieved the Taoist Fruit of Pure Realm."
Taoist Master Taiwei, the assistant of the Imperial Palace, said: "Even so, the four kings are the powerful masters of the Second Pure Realm. How can he, a monk of the First Pure Realm, capture four powerful masters of the Second Pure Realm alive?"
Taichu Taoist Master said: "It's very simple, because that Fang Jian is a disciple of Taisu Taozu. This is the news we just got."
Hearing this, the five Taifus were shocked. They looked at each other, and then asked the four regents: "May I ask all the regents, how should the forum handle this matter now?"
Tai Daozun said: "Currently, Fuyu, Jingshan, Qianzhao and other countries have no masters. The forum must immediately issue an edict to order the princes of the three countries to take the throne to stabilize the hearts of the three countries."
The five assistants immediately bowed and said: "I will obey the law."
Then Tai Zhen Dao Zun asked the four regents: "What about Lingqi Dao Kingdom? The leader of Lingqi Dao Kingdom, Mrs. Jun, and the Crown Prince have all been arrested by the heaven."
Tao Zun Taichu said calmly: "I will personally go to Lingqi Tao Kingdom."
Hearing this, the five major Taifus immediately became excited. In their eyes, Sanqing Realm is an invincible existence except for Taoist ancestors. With Taoist Taichu personally going to Lingqi Taoist Kingdom, as long as Taisu Taozu and Haotian Taozu do not take action, Those in Heaven are absolutely unable to withstand the power of Taichu Taoist Master.
Thinking of this, Wu Taifu bowed to the four regents and then exited the regent hall.
Then the five Taifu returned to the Xiguang Hall, and were about to summon the envoys from the Fuyu Dao Kingdom, the Jingshan Dao Kingdom, and the Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, and to edict that the crown prince of the three kingdoms would become the head of the country. But he suddenly said: "Since Taichu Dao Zun is going to Lingqi Dao Kingdom in person, should we put the matter of canonizing the prince of the Three Kingdoms on hold for now?"
Hearing this, the other four Taichu assistants all looked at Taoist Taoist Taichu. Taoist Taoist Taoist explained: "If Taoist Taoist Taichu rescued the four kings, wouldn't it be..."
The other four chief ministers were stunned when they heard this. This was a problem. If Tao Zun Taichu rescued the four kings, and they ordered the princes of the Three Kingdoms to ascend the throne, then it would be awkward for one country and two kings.
Although the princes of various countries are canonized by the Great Court, the enthronement of the king of each country is decided by each country. The Great Court can only issue an edict and recommend that the prince of a certain country can ascend the throne.
So after Taoist Taoist Master Taikoo said these words, the other four assistants immediately reacted, and then Taoist Master Taichong, the central station assistant, said, "Why don't you wait a moment?"
Taoist Taiwei said: "But this is the will of the regents."
After hearing this, everyone had no idea for a moment, but it was impossible to bother asking the Taoist Regents about this matter, so they all looked at Taoist Taoist Taizhen, the head of the five regents.
Tao Zhen Tao Zun pondered for a moment, and then said: "You can prepare the edict first. After there is news from Tao Chu Tao Zun, we will decide whether to issue the edict. Please don't summon the envoys from various countries."
When the other four Taifu heard this, they all nodded in agreement. Then Honglutai Taifu Tai and Daozun first issued the three edicts in the name of the forum and Honglutai, but they did not issue them, but received them. got up.
Although the five major Taiwan assistants could keep their composure, others in Yujing City could not keep their composure.
The leader is Yao Yun, the wife of the King of Jingshan Dao. Although she was released from the Tinglu Department after Fang Jian's rebellion, she is still banned.
After hearing the news that her husband, Taoist Taixu, had been captured alive by the Heavenly Court, what she was most concerned about was not the safety of her husband, but the safety of her eldest brother, Taoist Yao Cheng. And whether his son Yunqi, the current crown prince of Jingshan Dao Kingdom, can become the head of the country.
For this matter, Mrs. Yao Yun immediately found her brother Yao Hongdaozun.
When Daozun Yao Hong heard Mrs. Yao Yun's worries, he still said calmly: "Brother, as a powerful person in the Erqing Realm, it is impossible to be easily captured alive by the traitor Fang Jian, and the Erqing Realm has the power of 'Fate Xuanguang' , I really can’t imagine that the traitor Fang Jian has any ability to capture four Erqing Realm masters alive, little sister, you can rest assured.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Yao Yun felt a little relieved, but then she felt a little disappointed and said: "Then my son will not be able to ascend the throne of Jingshan Dao Kingdom?"
Taoist Master Yao Hong frowned, looked at Mrs. Yao Yun and said, "Little sister, no matter what, you are also the wife of the King of Jingshan Taoism. Even if you are just pretending, you have to pretend to care about your husband, right?"
Mrs. Yao Yun's behavior seems to be a bit excessive in the eyes of her own brother. Before your husband is sure whether he has really been arrested, you can't wait to make your son ascend the throne. How can it be like this?
But Mrs. Yao Yun said: "My marriage to him was a transaction. I didn't want to marry at the beginning, but you forced me to marry. I have been his wife for so many years, served him for so many years, and I still give him Having a son is enough to be worthy of him."
Daozun Yao Hong didn't say anything when he heard this. This kind of marriage is very common in Daoting. Not to mention that Mrs. Yao Yun can't make the decision herself, even they themselves can't make the decision.
As long as their father issued a decree that they would marry whomever they were told to marry, even if it was to marry a dog, they would not dare to say no.
At the same time, in the Dameng Immortal Palace where the Yi clan of Yujing lived, the eldest son of Taiyi Daozun, the patriarch of the Yi clan of Yujing City, and the great master of the Erqing Realm, the Councilor "Daozun Yiyuan" ordered his people to be killed. Madam, a monk from the Qing Realm, 'Jiang Yu Dao Zun', has been invited over.
"Husband, are you looking for me?" Taoist Jiang Yu entered the attic and looked at Taoist Yi Yuan who was preparing something and said.
Taoist Master Yi Yuan turned around, looked at Taoist Master Jiang Yu and said, "Madam, I will be away from Yujing for a while, and I will leave it to you to take charge of the affairs of the clan."
Dao Zun Jiang Yu frowned slightly and asked, "Husband, where are you going?"
Taoist Master Yi Yuan said: "I'm going to Fuyu Dao Kingdom. Taihua was captured alive by Tianting. Only Can'er is in charge in the country. I'm afraid he won't be able to control the overall situation."
"Oh?" Taoist Master Jiang Yu said in surprise: "But isn't that a rumor?"
Taoist Master Yi Yuan shook his head and said, "Father Juncai just passed down the talisman to me. Taoist Master Taichu has already gone to Lingqi Taoist Kingdom in person."
Taoist Jiang Yu looked shocked and said: "Taoist Taichu actually went to Lingqi Taoist Kingdom in person. Does that mean the rumors are true?!"
"Not bad." Taoist Master Yi Yuan nodded and said.
Taoist Master Jiang Yu said with a look of disbelief: "But that Fangjian can't match a Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian, how can it be possible to capture four powerful masters of the Second Pure Realm alive?" This kind of thing has simply subverted Taoist Jiang Yu's view of practice.
Taoist Master Yi Yuan said calmly: "There are masters in the heaven, Sakyamuni and Wuliang Ancestor Demon. Their Taoist strength is also among the top in the Erqing Realm, not to mention Taoist Master Taiyuan. This person has the innate treasure, the Immortal Killing Sword Formation. There is also that Fang Jian. It is said that this person is a disciple of Taisu Taoist ancestor. He also holds the innate treasure in his hand. His Taoist magic power is strange and tyrannical. These people are the great enemies of our Dao Court. "
When Taoist Jiang Yu heard Taoist Yi Yuan's analysis, he couldn't help but said worriedly: "In that case, wouldn't it be very dangerous if you go to Fuyu Taoist Kingdom now?"
Taoist Master Yi Yuan said: "I used to just help Can'er. Moreover, Fuyu Dao Kingdom is not bordered by Heavenly Court. Even if there is a war, it will not happen in a short time. Besides, if Heavenly Palace completely captures Lingqi Dao Kingdom this time, , that 740,000 miles of territory is enough for them to digest for a long time, and the Daoting will not sit back and watch Lingqi Dao Kingdom be annexed by the Heavenly Court."
Taoist Jiang Yu nodded with confidence, but still said: "No matter what, you must take care of yourself and never take any risks."
Taoist Yi Yuan looked at Taoist Jiang Yu's serious face, smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
Just twenty-seven days after Fang Jian captured the four Taixu people alive, the entire Lingqi Dao Kingdom except Shangyuan City was occupied by the Heavenly Court.
Only the 200,000 four-nation allied troops in Shangyuan City were still holding on. Heavenly Court had no choice but to besiege Shangyuan City.
Fang Jian even came to Shangyuan City again to persuade the 200,000 coalition troops to surrender.
But the 200,000 coalition troops were unmoved at all. Even if Fang Jian told them that the leaders of the Four Kingdoms had been captured alive, they remained unmoved.
However, the morale in Uehara City has dropped to the extreme. The princes and sergeants of the four countries in the city have no idea what the current situation of their king is, whether dead or alive. Therefore, although they still stick to Uehara City, their morale has been completely exhausted.
Moreover, they all witnessed the three kings leaving the city that day. After not seeing each other for so long, the princes of the four kingdoms couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.
"It seems we need to work harder." Seeing this situation, Fang Jian had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Come here, go to the City God's Temple in Yuxiao City immediately and bring over the bodies of the Four Kingdoms' Lords." Fang Jian issued an edict.
Fang Jian originally had other uses for the corpse of the Lord of the Four Kingdoms, but now in order to capture Uehara City as soon as possible, Fang Jian had to sacrifice this killer weapon in advance.
Ten days later, the bodies of the four kings of the Four Kingdoms were transported outside Shangyuan City, and then Fang Jian took the bodies of the four kings of Taixu, Taihua, Si Tuan, and Yao Cheng in front of the 200,000 ministers and sergeants of the Four Kingdoms in the city. Used mana to hang in the sky.
At the same time, as the bodies of the four kings were revealed, Heaven also immediately revealed the mystery of the four kings' deaths, and all living beings could sense this mystery.
This killer weapon was extremely powerful. Soon the screams in Uehara City shook the sky and the ground was shaken by howls. The morale of the 200,000 troops was completely shattered and the battle formation was in danger of collapse. The princes of the four countries were frightened when they were grieving. They immediately understood , he and others were hanging alone in Shangyuan City. Unless Daoting sent Sanqingjing to rescue them, they had no hope of being rescued.
After weighing the pros and cons, the ministers of the four countries immediately gathered together to discuss. Finally, the ministers of the four countries jointly submitted a letter of surrender to Fang Jian.
There was only one condition in this letter of surrender, that is, they were willing to lead an army of 200,000 to give up resistance and leave the city to surrender, but Fang Jian had to promise to allow the young ministers and ministers of the four countries to leave freely.
Especially for the former high ministers and young ministers of the Lingqi Tao Kingdom, Fang Jian not only allowed them to leave, but also allowed them to leave with their families and tribesmen. They did not intend to die for the loyalty of the Lingqi Tao Kingdom. If If we go forward one million Yuanhui in time, at this critical moment, there will definitely be a large number of ministers who will die for the country and fight to the death. But today, not to mention Lingqi Dao Kingdom, the entire Daoting noble class has been degenerated from top to bottom, and they have long lost the courage to be loyal and righteous.
Of course, the attitude of the 200,000 troops in the surrender document was left to the heavenly court to deal with. However, these ministers would definitely not dare to let the 200,000 troops know this content.
After receiving the letter of surrender, Fang Jian just glanced at it and directly approved it. He also personally wrote a letter of commitment in his own name and sent it to the city to express his gratitude to the ministers of the four countries.
When the ministers of the four kingdoms received Fang Jian's letter of commitment, they were all overjoyed. They immediately ordered their armies to disband their battle formations, and went out of the city to surrender with them.
At this time, the 200,000-strong army was at a loss because of the death of the king. They were without a master, their morale was depleted, and they were confused and afraid. Therefore, when the ministers who led them ordered them to leave the city and surrender, they did not resist at all and acted in accordance with the military orders. .
So an hour after Fang Jian hung the body of the leader of the Four Kingdoms in the sky, the 200,000 troops in Uehara City came out of the city and surrendered. Uehara Castle, the last state city of Lingqi Province, was held impregnably by the 200,000 allied troops of the Four Kingdoms for nearly two months. Occupied by heaven.
At this point, Lingqi Dao Kingdom's 740,000-mile territory was captured by the Heavenly Court, and Lingqi Dao Kingdom was officially declared subjugated.
