Blood State, Liangshan.
After the last war, most of the buildings in Liangshan have been plowed down, but this is not an ordinary world after all, but a world of high martial arts and fantasy.
A powerful warrior can move mountains and reclaim seas with ease.
In addition, Liangshan itself has a lot of soldiers and horses. Under the organization, more than a month is actually enough to rebuild.
Although it is not as luxurious as before, it still has a lot of shelter from wind and rain.
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
There were bursts of roars, like thunder on the ground.
Tens of thousands of elite black-armored soldiers are training.
On a certain high place, Xiang Qianqiu and Lu Guangsheng looked down at the elite soldiers below, with some relief in their eyes.
Although these are not comparable to the top elite troops of the former Chu Dynasty, at least looking at the current world, they can definitely be called elites.
Compared with the world-famous Northern Liang Army, perhaps they just saw less blood.
These elite soldiers are also a great help to the Xiang family. Therefore, in the last war, they were not willing to waste them at all. Even Song Lun thought so.
What he thought at that time was that these elite soldiers were all his. If they were damaged, wouldn't it be painful?
You know, this is an elite army that the Xiang family spent decades training!
"Decades of military training have finally yielded some results, but it's a pity that the number of soldiers is still too small after all." Lu Guangsheng shook his head and sighed.
Counting all the soldiers in Liangshan, there are only nearly 200,000.
It seems to be a lot, but compared to the world, it is still far behind.
The Sima family has hundreds of thousands of elite troops. If mobilized, even a million-strong army is no problem.
There are still 200,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou.
The Nanzhou Zhennan Army also had 100,000 troops.
Two hundred thousand elites are enough to guard a state, but it is not enough to control the entire world.
Xiang Qianqiu smiled:
"Fighting to support war, 200,000 elites are enough to double the number. The combat strength may be reduced, but I have never counted on this."
With hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the pass, they can explode with extremely strong power, but once dispersed, it will be nothing. The only one he counts on is himself.
As long as he can break through the realm of the Martial God, he will be able to suppress all dissidents.
"Jingtai, what are the clan leaders going to do?"
The fact that Liangshan was supported by the Xiang family was not known to everyone in the world, but it was indistinguishable. In fact, there was no need to hide it or not.
Now that Jingtai wants to risk the disapproval of the world and become emperor, the Xiang family must stop him.
Although the Great Chu Empire, which had been extinct for more than two hundred years, collapsed, the centipede insect remained alive. Even now, even though the Sima family has tried their best to smear the Xiang family and even eliminated the Xiang family's existence.
But the Xiang family still has great popularity.
The popularity here naturally does not refer to the lower-class common people. In fact, for meat-eaters, the low-class common people are not considered human at all.
Min refers to a poor family, and refers to people with a certain amount of wealth.
These people can read and practice martial arts, so they can naturally know about the Xiang family and the extremely glorious Chu Empire from books and oral transmission from their ancestors.
Eight hundred years is a long time and can leave many impressions on people.
In fact, in the countries of the Western Region, in the Northern Barbarian Grasslands, on the islands in the East China Sea, and in the mouths of the monsters in the Southern Border, they are either collectively called the Central Plains, or they are called Chu people!
The title of Jin people has not yet become popular.
Unless the Sima family can also rule the country for more than five hundred years.
With such popularity, Jingtai must be stopped when he wants to become emperor. If he is not stopped and Jingtai succeeds, the popularity of the Xiang family will be greatly reduced.
"Of course we have to take action."
"Put up the Chu flag?"
"No, there will be someone who can help us. People who start troubled times usually don't end up with good results. They are quite successful. When the situation stabilizes, they will definitely become the losers."
"The patriarch has a plan?"
"nature."
"That...."
"I will go to the capital."
He went to get the bottom of it. If Chen Yuan couldn't do what he wanted to do, then when he did it, he would tear off the Sima family's tiger skin and save Chen Yuan's life.
Don't get me wrong, Xiang Qianqiu doesn't have any affection for his son.
Chen Yuan can die, but only in his hands.
He gave Chen Yuan life, and he should end his life.
"Subordinates can go too."
"No, Liangshan still needs you to be in charge."
"But if Jingtai is prepared..."
"The fate of the Sima family cannot be escaped by attacking in groups. Besides, who said that only Jingtai is prepared? Do you think I will be unprepared?" Xiang Qianqiu turned his head and looked at Lu Guang and said with a smile.
He predicted what Jingtai was going to do in advance and leaked Wu Daozi's whereabouts to the court in advance. How could he really not make preparations?
Don't let it be said that he looks down on Jingtai. In fact, the fact that he was able to plan to this point in just a few decades is enough to prove that he, Jingtai, is not a simple person.
It's a pity that the road... went astray!
...
...
Demonic realm.
The Blood State is divided into two parts. Most of the area is still the Blood State. It is divided between the two major forces of Qishaodian and Liangshan plus some small vassal forces. The remaining three to four areas are called Demon Territory.
This has been the case since ancient times, but when the former Chu was there, he did not dare to be so arrogant, and just called it the devil's way, but when the former Chu collapsed, Sima took over.
The Demon Realm is called the Demon Realm.
Not to mention that the imperial court cannot touch it, even the Seven Kills Palace and many forces cannot be touched by water or oil.
This place is tightly controlled. Although it only has a few houses, it is rich in resources and supports an immortal sect in this world.
That is, the largest sect in the Demonic Way, the Heavenly Demon Palace!
The strength of the Heavenly Demon Palace can definitely be ranked among the best in the world. Although it is far from the No. 1 Immortal Sect Lingshan, it will be defeated even if it encounters the tyrannical Emperor Wu City.
But it's still strong.
This can be seen from the unscrupulous behavior of Tianmo Palace.
If the Wusheng Cult was wanted by the court in recent decades, then in the years before, it was basically the Demon Palace that was responsible for killing officials and generals at every turn.
The last time, the master of the palace, Dongfang Shengqin, came to the capital. Although he did not dare to enter the capital, he relied on his own powerful strength to suppress Li Kuangxi and dare not leave.
This shows how strong and powerful the Heavenly Demon Palace is!
Compared to the hidden sects of the Seven Kills Palace who dare not disclose the location of their mountain gates, the Heavenly Demon Palace openly establishes its mountain gates in a blessed place with mountains and rivers.
No.....Holy Devil Mountain!
Although high-profile, it will last for thousands of years.
Of course, a large part of the reason is that the forces such as the Seven Kills Palace are blocking the Demon Realm, and the Heavenly Demon Palace is not easy to provoke, so it has remained standing to this day.
It’s not like the imperial court has never used strong men to directly suppress the Holy Demon Mountain.
It's a pity that after fighting once, the court returned without success.
And this also helped to increase the arrogance of Tianmo Palace.
Inside a demon palace in the Holy Demon Mountain Palace.
Dongfang Shengda Ma Jindao, the master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, is sitting at the top, wearing a black cloak, his eyes are indifferent, and he has an aura of calmness and self-power.
Under him, among the four great demons, the Red Lian Demon Lord and the Prisoner Demon Lord Song Zhilun both stood with their hands on each other.
There is only one word difference between him and Song Lun, the white-clothed scholar who was the former leader of Liangshan.
In addition, there are also the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Wei Wuya, and a cold woman wearing a black robe.
If Chen Yuan were here, he would definitely be able to evoke some memories from the temperament of this woman.
It was the woman who explored the secret treasure with him in the Yuan Kong Secret Realm.
Chen Yuan took away the relic, but this woman took a picture from the Taoist's body.
And she is none other than the Saint of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Bei Mingxue.
"How are things prepared?"
Dongfang Sheng's voice sounded in the hall, with a heavy meaning.
"Go back to the palace master, ten thousand demon soldiers are ready!"
Song Zhilun bowed.
Not only are other forces secretly training their troops, but the Heavenly Demon Palace also wants to take a share of the troubled times.
It's just that others trained elite soldiers and generals, while the Heavenly Demon Palace trained 10,000 bloodthirsty demon soldiers based on pure demonic energy, and their combat power was no less than 100,000 Beiliang Iron Cavalry.
The only shortcoming is similar to that of Wusheng Cult, that is, the magic soldiers trained with this secret method cannot live long.
Often thirty years after becoming a soldier, the demonic energy will enter their mind and they will die violently.
"good."
A smile appeared on Dongfang Sheng's lips.
"Thousands of years ago, it was known as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It was a dark era for the human race, but for the Jianghu forces like us, it was a great thing.
The heroes were divided and each occupied a territory. Without the pressure of the imperial court, that was the real world. At that time, the Demon Palace was still very weak and could only succumb to others.
But now, our Heavenly Demon Palace has been ranked among the top ten immortal sects. Du Ba Zhongyuan does not have this strength, but it can still suppress a state.
Now that the world is in turmoil and the imperial court is about to fall apart, it is a good opportunity for our Heavenly Demon Palace to take advantage of the situation and secretly transport those 10,000 demon soldiers to the edge of the Demon Realm.
When the matter in the capital is over, we will go straight out of the Demon Realm and capture Jiaozhou! "
In addition to Zhongzhou, Qingzhou, Xuezhou, Liangzhou, Shuzhou and other places, there are two state capitals that basically have no sense of existence.
That is Jiaozhou and Lanzhou.
Lanzhou is adjacent to the Western Regions, while Jiaozhou is adjacent to the Blood State.
The Blood State has a large territory and greater power.
Let’s not talk about the Seven Kills Palace. It is the old rival of the Heavenly Demon Palace for hundreds of years. No one can do anything about it. Now there is another Xiang family entrenched here.
Dongfang Sheng is not sure that he can defeat the two major forces.
Therefore, Jiaozhou, which has always been barren, is his goal.
Jiaozhou is world-famous for its barrenness and has numerous zombie and Gu clans. However, compared to other state capitals, this place is actually the easiest state capital to conquer.
There is Nangong Lie in Nanzhou, Shushan in Shuzhou, Qingzhou is the place of the Four Wars, not to mention the north, the power of Tianmo Palace cannot extend at all.
We can only win Jiaozhou.
The Heavenly Demon Palace does not expect too much. It is a blessing to be able to control the Demon Realm and Jiaozhou. What happens next will have to wait for the changes of the season.
"I obey my orders!"
Song Zhilun and Red Lian Demon Lord said at the same time.
"Um."
"Is the palace master planning to go to the capital?"
"This is natural, a great turmoil that has not happened in a century, the beginning of the world's strife, how can I be absent from such a lively scene, no matter who wants to go against the imperial court.
I must... help the situation! "
Song Zhilun and the Scarlet Lian Demon Lord looked at each other and stopped trying to persuade him. After all, the master of his palace has always been a strong character, and he also likes to watch the excitement.
This time, even if I tried to persuade him, I couldn’t persuade him.
"You don't need to take care of the affairs of the capital. Just do the things at hand. When I'm not here, I will guard the Demon Realm for you with the dignity of Zuo Envoy."
"yes."
The power of the Heavenly Demon Palace is definitely ranked among the top five among the immortal sects, and it is worthy of the title of the number one demon sect in the world.
The master of the palace, Dongfang Sheng, and the two envoys on the left and right are all powerful true kings in the Yangshen realm.
Although he has rarely appeared in recent years, his presence is not low.
In addition to them, there are four great demons and five great protectors, all of whom are not weak in strength.
"Go down first."
"My subordinates resign."
"My subordinates resign."
The two prisoners of Heavenly Demon Lord bowed and retreated.
Dongfang Sheng's eyes also turned to the saint son and saint below.
"Wuya, how has your practice been lately?"
"Master, this disciple has broken through the real elixir."
"Not even close."
Dongfang Sheng tapped his fingers on the armrest and said.
Needless to say, Chen Yuan is recognized as the number one genius in the millennium. No one of the younger generation dares to compare with him, but Zuo Chengzong of Wudang Mountain has entered the top ten on the local rankings last month.
Entered the realm of Tiandan.
There is no news about Lingshan Xuanming and Biyou Gongdao Xuansheng, but behind them are Bai Changqing of Shushan, Shangguan Yu of the Shangguan clan, and other outstanding figures on the Qianlong List of the previous generation.
Basically, they have reached the realm of virtual elixir, and the previous few have also entered the realm of real elixir.
Wei Wuya, recognized as one of the top three, is indeed a bit slow.
If you don't compare with Chen Yuan, you have to compare with Zuo Chengzong.
"Disciple is stupid."
Wei Wuya did not dare to refute and quickly lowered his head.
"Haha, I can't blame you for this. People like Chen Yuan are indeed beyond comparison with the younger generation. It won't be long before he can be on the Heavenly Ranking.
On the other hand, Zuo Chengzong, Bai Changqing, Dao Xuansheng and the others, you cannot fall behind them. As the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Palace, the burden on your shoulders is not light. "
Saint Bei Mingxue then lowered her head, but when Dongfang Sheng mentioned Chen Yuan, her eyes were a little blurry.
Once upon a time, she was still able to suppress this person. If he hadn't also had the elixir, he would have died in her hands in Yuankong. As a result...
After returning to seclusion and coming out again, I received shocking news.
Chen Yuan...far surpassed her.
Ranked first on the Qianlong list.
Nowadays, he has become a person often mentioned by Master, saying that it will not take long for him to be ranked on the heavenly list and become a top person in the world. This...
Thinking of Chen Yuan's former face, Bei Mingxue smiled bitterly in her heart.
It looks ordinary, but who knew it had such potential.
If we meet again, I'm afraid she will have to bow.
"Disciple understands."
"Go ahead and take charge of the Demon Soldiers with Song Zhilun. If you want to take over my position, the first thing you have to do is to overwhelm everyone in the Demon Palace."
"yes."
"Axue."
"Master."
Bei Mingxue reacted and quickly bowed.
"Your talent is not weak, but now you are so far behind Wuya. Don't think about other things in the future, focus on cultivation."
"Yes, disciple understands."
"Well... the matter of the Immortal Realm is of great importance. You and Wuya know what you know. Don't let it out. Let me investigate it first." Dongfang Sheng's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
"Yes, disciple understands."
Dongfang Sheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to mention something more, but after thinking about it, he gave up and waved his hand:
"Back off..."
...
East China Sea, Emperor Wu City.
Ye Xiangnan, who was dressed in white robes, stepped onto the top of the Immortal Peak step by step with an expressionless face. The fairy mist in the sky spread out a path, and an inexplicable Tao Yun shrouded his body.
It is in harmony with heaven and earth, and at the same time it is beneficial to the world beyond.
Facing the palace in front, Ye Xiangnan bowed:
"Disciple meets Master!"
Three breaths after this voice died down, an old voice came from the hall:
"Well...sleeping for another year."
"Master's realm has reached the fairyland. It's normal to sleep for decades. It's the disciple who disturbed Master's practice."
"Haha...what's wrong? But what happened?"
Lu Chengfeng knew the character of his disciple. If something big had not happened, he would never wake him up. He would usually wake up naturally every ten years.
"Back to Master, something did happen. Not long ago... Now Jingtai wants to worship heaven and be promoted to Human Emperor. According to Master, what should we do in Emperor Wu City?"
"The northern barbarians entered the country, the demons went north, the battle of Liangshan was the best in the world..."
Lu Chengfeng's voice sounded slowly:
"It seems that while I was sleeping, a lot of things happened in the world, which were more exciting than the previous hundred years or so. It felt a bit like a thousand years ago."
"Xiang Qianqiu... is very extraordinary. He can defeat the old thief Sima with more tricks than you. I'm afraid you won't even dare to give in."
"If you have the chance, you must see it."
"Isn't this an opportunity? It's impossible for the Xiang family to remain indifferent to Jingtai's promotion to the Human Emperor. Then, you will be able to see it with your own eyes."
"That's what Master said."
"This time the imperial court pays tribute to the ancestors. If you want to take action, go ahead. At least, the Sima family is not qualified to be the emperor."
"yes."
"southward...."
"Master."
"You are only a layer of window paper away from the Dao realm. Before, the world was turbid and the rules were unclear. Those guys deliberately used some tricks.
Enlightenment is ten times more difficult, and you have been trapped in this situation for hundreds of years. Now, the world is in a state of great power, and disputes are about to arise. It is very similar to what it was a thousand years ago.
This is the worst of times, but it is also the best of times. Thousands of years ago, that shameless guy became a hero in the world and took over.
Now there is a thousand-year cycle, and you have to seize the opportunity. "
"Disciple understands."
"I have nothing to say to you. The rest of the way is up to you."
"Disciple understands."
"Go, go, it's up to you how to think about it."
"good."
"Sleepy...."
"Disciple resigns."
Ye Xiangnan bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Suddenly, Lu Chengfeng's voice sounded again:
"By the way, how is that guy Chen who was number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking list now?"
Ye Xiangnan thought for a while and said in a deep voice:
"This son has a talent that is rare to see in a thousand years. Now he has broken through the realm to refine the gods. He is in charge of the power of the three states and is secretly accumulating strength..."
"Damn, why are the Xiang family so strong..."
