"After your true identity is exposed, I don't know how many people will be shocked beyond measure." Jiang He said softly while looking at the Supreme Heavenly List he copied in his hand.
After several battles, the identity of the Taoist Palace's "Lin Mo Zhenjun" has gained a strong reputation, at least in the southern region, and has been recognized as the genuine Yang Shen Zhenjun.
But only they themselves know that Chen Yuan's cultivation is now only at the God Refining realm, and he has not even overcome the wind tribulation and reached the peak realm of God Refining.
There is no great achievement in the realm of magical power, and so far it is still just a sliver away.
The title of True Lord was all the result of him defeating the strong with the weak and fighting across the ranks. Jiang He sometimes even thought about how powerful Chen Yuan would be after he stepped into the realm of god refining and achieved great supernatural powers.
It is inevitable that he will become the peerless true king, and his ranking will probably catch up with those at the top of the supreme list. It can be said to be extremely terrifying!
"I'd also like to see that scene."
Chen Yuan smiled lightly and looked calm.
"hehe...."
Jiang He was about to say something when suddenly, Chen Yuan frowned and took out a transmission talisman from his sleeve. Its light lit up and a familiar voice sounded from the talisman.
The familiar voice came from Shangguan Tiehong's father, Shangguan Tiehong, informing Chen Yuan that the Shuzhong Alliance had basically established a framework, and a large part of the reason came from the battle in Shushan.
Many forces in Shu and other areas do not seek to take advantage of the situation, but only seek to protect themselves. It can be said that they respond to one call. The only turmoil is that several forces want to become the leader of the alliance, so as to gain the greatest say.
Shangguan Tiehong adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile and only promotes it secretly. He has not shown his fangs yet and is just waiting to reap the fruits of victory in the end, because he knows very well that no matter how violent these people are, they will make trouble.
In the end, their Shangguan clan became the ultimate winner.
Several forces were fighting endlessly, and no one was convinced by the other, so under Shangguan Tiehong's instructions, they prepared to hold a Shuzhong conference to decide who would be the leader of the alliance.
Since the Shangguan clan had not shown its thoughts as the leader of the alliance, and its reputation was not weak, after deliberation, the venue of the meeting was placed on the territory of the Shangguan clan.
They....it is also time to harvest the fruit.
With a movement of his spiritual thoughts, the transmission notes turned into ashes in the void. Chen Yuan had a smile in his eyes and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly. He has not left since the Battle of Shushan.
It's not that he is no longer enthusiastic about opportunities, on the contrary, he is extremely eager to obtain the treasures of opportunity, so as to further improve his strength.
It's just that he was seriously injured in the previous battle, and he had to investigate the Soul-Broken Valley. Furthermore, he was waiting for news from Shangguan Tiehong.
Take control of Shu first, and then take the opportunity. Anyway, it won't waste much time. This is what he expected. After all, once there is a breakthrough, it may be delayed for how much time.
There will be unforeseen complications, so let’s deal with matters in Shu first.
The entire Shu State, western Shu, has been completely controlled, and eastern Shu has also been included in his territory. Although Shushan is still in charge, it is also his sphere of influence.
As for total control....that's a little too inappropriate.
Even the imperial court didn't take away the mansions in the east of Shu. If he did, what would Shushan think?
They are just willing to help Chen Yuan, but it does not mean that they will give up their own interests. Therefore, as long as Shushan can manage Shudong well and send him resources and soldiers, he will not interfere with Shudong.
Chaos before war is not a good sign.
If he directly attacks Shushan's territory, how can he get more other forces to join him in the future?
Killing local tycoons to divide the land is a good policy, but Shushan is not a powerful force, but a fairy sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. It has a strong reputation and strength, so it cannot be done at the moment.
Even to win over.
When he truly takes control of the world, if Shushan is wise, he will naturally give up those realms on his own initiative, thus preventing the two sides from turning against each other.
If you don't know what's interesting...
Haha, Chen Yuan thinks Shushan
You will definitely know something interesting.
Compared to the Immortal Sect, which state religion is better?
"How is your injury?"
Chen Yuan looked at Jiang He and asked.
"It's nothing serious anymore, but I gained some insights from the previous battle, so I won't go back to Qingzhou for the time being." Jiang He shook his head. There was little use in going back now.
Chen Yuan has not yet thought about completely annexing Qingzhou, and Jiang He's power is not too great. It doesn't matter whether he is the Qingzhou Golden Envoy or not.
Judging from the current undercurrents in the world, it is only a matter of time before the world is in chaos. It may even come tomorrow. All you need to do is let some close friends come to Shuzhou.
As for Qingzhou, let the rivers and lakes and the government fight.
Chen Yuan has already controlled Nanling Tangshan and other three prefectures, and can annex them at any time. He is not in a hurry. It will not be too late after digesting Shuzhou and Nanzhou!
"That's fine."
Chen Yuan nodded and continued:
"Then you should spend some time cultivating in Shushan first. I think Lord Lingxu values you quite a lot. I don't think you can become the next leader of Shushan."
"Not my wish."
Jiang He shook his head.
"By the way, sister-in-law, please write a letter to contact her in the near future. Chaos is not far away..." Chen Yuan didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already obvious.
Li Kuangxiu is undoubtedly a die-hard vassal of the Sima family and will definitely serve the country with all his loyalty, while Chen Yuan and Jiang He want to overthrow the imperial court. The day will come when the two will fight to the death.
Rather than letting Li Hongshuang struggle, it would be better to lure her to the south first.
As for whether he will come, Chen Yuan doesn't know, but women who are dazzled by love will usually obey. Of course, this also depends on Jiang He's decision.
After all, this is his private matter, and Chen Yuan won't interfere too much.
Anyway, he had already gone to the capital to study and secretly told Zhang Wanshu that when he came to Shuzhou, it would be best to bring more family members with him. He didn't say it explicitly, but I guess she would understand.
Zhang Yantong is still outside suppressing the rebellion and is not in the capital. It is a good time. When the troubled times begin, Zhang Yantong will figure out what is inside.
He had a close relationship with Chen Yuan and was promoted many times. His daughter was even promised to Chen Yuan. If Jingtai knew about it, how could he tolerate it?
Rather than embarrass him and have it happen under Jingtai's nose, it's better to get out in time.
"I understand."
Jiang He nodded and looked towards the north. He still remembered his previous promise to go to the capital to take her away in person, but... it was too dangerous.
If possible, he would not let Chen Yuan take the risk with him.
Now Chen Yuan is not alone. He has a heavy responsibility. There are countless thousands of people under his command. Once something happens, the plan of Dao Shen Palace will be ruined.
He believed in Chen Yuan's promise, but he also didn't want to take unnecessary risks.
"Okay, now that Shuzhong is ready, I won't stay in Shuzhou much longer. You can wait for me to say goodbye to Headmaster Lingxu." Chen Yuan stood up and said.
"good."
...
...
In Shuzhong, Shangguan family.
Chen Yuan, who left Shu Mountain, galloped all the way. In just half a day, he left Shudong and arrived at the middle of Shu. With his current strength, such a speed is normal.
It would even be faster if we hurried as hard as we could.
Chen Yuan is no stranger to the various prefectures in Sichuan. He has been here many times, and the one that left the deepest impression on him was that of Tang Xiuzhuo.
After all, Tang Xiuzhuo took care of many backbones for Chen Yuan in that battle.
As one of the five great aristocratic families, the Shangguan family is not as powerful as the Gu family, with the True Lord at the helm, but it can stand out among many top forces.
In fact, there are quite a few brushes.
Although there is no one who is too provocative, the overall strength of the tribe is very strong, and under the control of Shangguan Tiehong, the cohesion is very strong, which is one of the reasons why Chen Yuan values it.
In order to support Chen Yuan, Shangguan Tiehong didn't even need Chen Yuan to say much. After receiving a letter from Shangguan Hong, he took the initiative to send most of his family property to Tangshan to support the expansion of the army.
The same was true for Liu Zhenzong, the Four Elephants Divine Arrow. Since he had decided to revive the Liu family, there was nothing to hesitate about, and he directly gave most of his family property to Chen Yuan.
The Liu family, which has a longer inheritance than the Shangguan family, has declined for many years in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact it is just a hidden clumsiness, because what the Liu family has produced is not inferior to that of the Shangguan family.
Liu Zhenzong even said frankly that there is another ancestor in the clan who, although his life span is approaching, can still burst out with strength when necessary.
This is an ancestor of the Liu family more than a hundred years ago. He once achieved a lot of fame. Later, he was seriously injured and has never been able to pass the test again.
Even when Liu was in danger, he was still dormant.
Everyone said that he had died, but in fact he was sleeping in suspended animation.
The Shangguan Clan's residence is very large, directly occupying a small mountain range. It is also regarded as its private property. It grows many elixirs and is the most important foundation of the Shangguan Clan.
The name is: Qianyang Mountain.
Chen Yuan had gone in once before when he went to Shushan. This time he was familiar with the road and sneaked directly into the Shangguan clan's residence without saying hello to anyone.
In the meeting hall.
Shangguan Tiehong, the head of the Shangguan clan, is at the top. Liu Zhenzong, the current head of the Liu clan, is at the left. In addition, there are four or five elders of the Shangguan clan.
These are also the strongest forces of the Shangguan clan, and Shangguan Yu, the "good brother", is also among them.
"Clan Chief, tomorrow is the Sichuan Conference. Has Marquis Wu'an already..." An elder of the Shangguan clan asked with a worried face.
Tomorrow will be the time to truly establish the status of the Shangguan clan. Without powerful figures like Wu'an Hou, they would not be able to deter all the forces in Shu.
Once the candidate of the alliance leader is discussed, it will be passive. Even if Chen Yuan can kill the alliance leader later, it will bring a huge loss of morale to the Sichuan Alliance.
As soon as he spoke, several people present also looked at the top position.
Shangguan Tiehong smiled lightly and said calmly:
"Don't worry, everyone, the Marquis has been informed of this matter. He will definitely not be absent tomorrow. You should prepare how to take down those forces."
"That's good."
"good..."
Listening to Shangguan Tiehong's confident words, everyone felt relieved.
Most of them didn't know much about the fact that Chen Yuan was the Linmo True Lord of Taoist Palace, but Shangguan Tiehong had vaguely revealed that there was a powerful True Lord hiding behind it.
Only then did the Shangguan clan reach a consensus.
In today's world, the situation is changing. Without a true king-level anti-ding figure, it is impossible to achieve stability. The power of the Shangguan clan alone will never be stable.
Several people were discussing tomorrow's affairs, when a cold wind suddenly blew in the closed hall. The expressions of everyone present changed and they subconsciously turned their heads to look.
It was impossible for the door to be blown open casually. There could only be one explanation, and that was that someone strong was coming.
But before these people here could make any move, Chen Yuan, dressed in a gilded black robe, revealed his true form and walked into the hall step by step.
Shangguan Tiehong stood up first and raised his hand in salute:
"I've met the Marquis!"
It's true that his daughter is now with Chen Yuan, but he doesn't dare to take advantage of his father-in-law's status. For a person like him, caution has already been engraved in his bones.
Otherwise, when Chen Yuan used Shangguan Yu as a shield in the early years, he would not stand still, thinking that Chen Yuan deliberately used the Shangguan clan in this way.
"I've met the Marquis!"
"I've met the Marquis!"
Liu Zhenzong and several elders of the Shangguan clan also stood up and saluted.
Shangguan Yu paused for a moment. He wanted to say "Brother Chen", but when he looked at his father and several other
He suppressed the title of clan elder and said:
"Master Hou."
Chen Yuan had a smile on his face, and with a movement of his mind, an inexplicable force enveloped them, like a spring breeze, pressing them on the seats, and said:
"You don't have to be polite."
After that, he nodded to Shangguan Yu, but didn't say much. Even his father called him Marquis. If he called Shangguan Yu "brother Shangguan", wouldn't he be a bit inferior?
Besides, this is considered a formal occasion, so just nod.
A few people sat down, feeling powerful about Chen Yuan's strength in their hearts. He didn't press down forcefully, but made them sit down involuntarily. This strength alone was what most of them looked up to.
Shangguan Tiehong was about to stand up and give up his seat, but was stopped by Chen Yuan:
"Uncle, just sit down."
After saying that, he sat in the seat next to Shangguan Tiehong, which was considered the top position, but not in the middle.
"The speed of the Marquis is really terrifying." Shangguan Tiehong smiled lightly and complimented.
There were not many people present who knew that he was Lin Mo Zhenjun. He was one of them. Naturally, he also knew the big news about the battle in Shushan. Even he had to look up to Chen Yuan.
Killing the demon saint first and then severely injuring the other one is not something that can be done easily.
This can be seen from the fact that Dengxian Tower ranked him twelfth on the Heavenly Ranking. You must know that the original twelfth position on the Heavenly Ranking belonged to Feng Jiuge, the lord of the Goddess Palace.
This also made him feel even more grateful for his previous decision.
If the Shangguan clan hadn't already bet on him, the one who would be considered as prey now would be one of them, the Shangguan clan.
Now that Chen Yuan has taken control of western Shu and has a good relationship with Shushan, when he gets control of Shuzhong, he will be able to directly control a state, even if he is the king, it will be more than enough!
With his current power and potential, there is indeed a lot of hope that he can take a peek at the Dragon Throne.
If it really succeeds, then it is not impossible for the Shangguan clan to surpass the Gu family and become the capital of the aristocratic family. This is also the goal that the Shangguan clan has pursued for generations.
"It's nothing."
Chen Yuan waved his hands, not having much interest in talking about the previous battle in Shushan. After he completely controlled Shuzhong, it was not too late to chat, and then he asked seriously:
"How is the situation in Shu now?"
When Shangguan Tiehong saw Chen Yuan going straight to business, he did not hesitate and said:
"Basically all the forces in the central Shu government have joined the Shu Central Alliance to seek protection, and there are also a few who are willing to take refuge in the Shangguan clan as a backer.
I have also secretly accepted them and cultivated informants, but as I said before, the two forces still want to compete for the position of alliance leader. If they didn't have the idea of restraint, I'm afraid they would have started fighting. "
Shangguan Tiehong had reported this matter to Chen Yuan before, and he had always kept it in mind.
The overall power in Shu is far inferior to that of eastern and western Shu. There are not many provocative forces. Counting the Shangguan clan, there are only a handful of powerful Huayang people.
Among them, Shenhuo Sect and Tianshui Sect are the most powerful and the most at odds with each other.
The grievances between the two parties can even be traced back to when the sect was first established hundreds of years ago. Naturally, they will not allow themselves to be inferior to the other party. In addition, the overall strength is stronger than other forces, which also gives rise to the thoughts of the alliance leader.
This is normal. If not, it would be wrong.
"Tell me about it."
"The strongest people in the Shenhuo Sect and Tianshui Sect are both at the peak of god refining, and they still have a lot of longevity. Hope Yang Shen, I think this time I want to rely on the power of the Sichuan Alliance to break through. Yesterday, Tianshui Yang Xian, the leader of the sect, sent someone a secret message and a water element bead, hoping that I could support the Tianshui sect to ascend to power during the meeting tomorrow.
Hu Yong, the leader of the Shenhuo Sect, also sent a promise, saying that as long as the Shangguan clan supports him, when the Shuzhong Alliance is officially established in the future, I can be the deputy leader. "
"Is there anyone else?"
two refining
At the peak of the gods, Chen Yuan could be destroyed with a wave of his hand, and he really couldn't arouse much interest. If the Shangguan clan had not been able to suppress all the forces in Shu for the time being, he might not have come.
"The other forces are gone, but..."
"Uncle, just say so."
Shangguan Tiehong nodded and continued:
"However, I have received a piece of news that is not yet certain. It is said that a strong casual cultivator who died fifty years ago has reappeared in Shu and seems to be interested in the position of leader of the alliance."
"who?"
"This person's name is Zhu Huai. He had a high reputation in Shu fifty years ago and suppressed many forces. It is said that he had hope of breaking through Yangshen. However, he later offended the East Valley of Nanzhou and disappeared without a trace. This time He is suspected of appearing in Shu, and he is also a powerful enemy."
"Any more?"
"These are the only ones that pose a threat for the time being."
Chen Yuan nodded and said:
"Then you all should go back and rest first. These people are not worth the trouble. Uncle, just prepare to take up the position of leader of the Shuzhong Alliance."
"this...."
Shangguan Tiehong glanced at Chen Yuan, nodded slightly and said:
"good."
.......
