After King Yun and others surrendered, the royal army in Holy Light City also surrendered.
They didn't have a strong desire to fight. Qi Yue left them in Holy Light City and just let them die to buy him time. Their lives and lives were not important to Qi Yue at all.
Such a tyrant is not worth their lives.
Moreover, they no longer want to live in fear. Although they will face punishment after surrendering, it is good to be alive.
After the news of the surrender of the Holy Light City royal army came out, countless people celebrated enthusiastically, and it could be said that the whole world celebrated.
Although the alliance army did not continue to capture the city, the army of Holy Light City was the strongest force of the royal family. Even if they surrendered, other cities would definitely not continue to resist, and surrender was inevitable.
In a sense, the era of the Daqi Dynasty has come to an end, and a new era has begun, and the pioneer of this new era is named Xiao Muyang.
............
On Taihua Mountain.
On this day, many figures gathered outside Daozong. The one at the front was the master of the Nine Pavilions, and behind them were the elders and disciples. The scene was very grand.
They looked into the distance, as if waiting for something.
After a while, several powerful auras filled the air from a distance, and many people's eyes released light at the same time and returned.
Soon, a group of figures appeared in the crowd's sight, it was Xiao Muyang, Qin Huai and others.
"Welcome back to the sect master!" Everyone said loudly, and the voice resounded through the sky and lasted for a long time.
Xiao Muyang and others descended from the void. Xiao Muyang glanced at the crowd in front, with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "Everyone is welcome and safe."
Everyone looked at the handsome young man in front of them, and their hearts trembled slightly. Now he is a god-like existence in the Daqi Dynasty, and countless people worship him, but when they really saw him, they didn't feel it from him. There is no sense of distance at all, as if they are the same kind of people.
Of course, they knew very well that Xiao Muyang was not from the same world as them, but he just did not show his pride in front of them.
"Please forgive me for missing the welcome from afar." Shi Yao said to Qin Huai, clasping his fists, looking very polite.
"It doesn't matter, this is not the Nine Dragons Heavenly Kingdom, so you don't have to worry too much about etiquette." Qin Huai said casually.
"Senior Brother Shi, have all the sect masters arrived?" Xiao Muyang looked at Shi Yao and asked. Although he was already the master of the Dao Sect, he still called Shi Yao his senior brother out of habit.
"Basically everyone has arrived. Only a few are still on the way. They should be able to arrive today." Shi Yao replied.
Xiao Muyang nodded and said: "Then let's go to the cabinet first."
"Go, the sect master and Qian Yu are waiting for you." Shi Yao said with a smile.
Xiao Muyang said no more, and went straight to the cabinet with Qin Huai and others.
In the cabinet meeting hall, there are many figures discussing matters here, including Yang Jiuxiao, Ouyang Ye and other high-level officials of the Dao Sect, as well as leaders of various forces in the alliance, such as Bai Yi, Luo Qianchuan, Bone Dragon King, Mo Tianren and others.
"When will Sect Master Xiao arrive?" One person looked at Yang Jiuxiao and asked.
Yang Jiuxiao was about to reply when a voice suddenly sounded in his mind. Then a smile appeared on his face and he said, "We're already here."
Everyone's eyes suddenly froze, have they arrived yet?
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall. Everyone turned their eyes at the same time and saw Xiao Muyang and others walking in.
Everyone stood up one after another with extremely solemn expressions. Xiao Muyang's identity has now changed. He is no longer the leader of the Dao Sect, but the emperor of the new dynasty.
"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting." Xiao Muyang looked at everyone and smiled apologetically.
"Sect Leader Xiao is serious. You are the pioneer of the new era, and we should wait." One person said with a smile, and his words were somewhat flattering.
Xiao Muyang raised his eyebrows slightly, a pioneer in the new era?
Who put this hat on him?
But he didn't think too much. He looked at Qin Huai beside him and said, "This is the leader of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Kingdom."
Everyone's eyes moved to Qin Huai at the same time. They saw Qin Huai's expression was calm and his eyes contained majesty. Even though they were the leaders of a force, they still felt a slight sense of oppression from Qin Huai. This had nothing to do with his strength. But the inner temperament.
"We have met the Lord of Qin." Everyone held their hands.
Qin Huai nodded slightly but did not say anything. After all, this was not his territory and he would not usurp the guest.
"Everyone, stop standing and sit down." Xiao Muyang looked at everyone and said with a smile.
Everyone took their seats one after another, while Xiao Muyang and Qin Huai walked forward. There were two empty seats next to Yang Jiuxiao, which were reserved for them.
"Now that the world is unified, I wonder what Sect Leader Xiao has in mind for the future?" One person looked at Xiao Muyang and asked, and many people's expressions suddenly became solemn. This was also the question they wanted to ask the most.
Xiao Muyang's will will determine the future pattern.
Xiao Muyang's expression condensed for a moment. He naturally understood the meaning of the man's words and thought that he would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but he had never had this idea. After all, he would not stay in this world forever.
"Although the royal army has surrendered, the crisis has not been completely resolved. The person who poisoned the enemy in secret has not yet been found. Moreover, Qi Yue is now on the run and may launch a counterattack at any time. We cannot relax our vigilance yet." Xiao Muyang said.
Many people's eyes flickered. They were all human beings who had lived for many years. They could naturally hear what Xiao Muyang meant. He didn't want to reveal his future plans, so he changed the topic.
"In Sect Leader Xiao's opinion, what should we do next?" the man asked again.
"The passage to the Ruins Realm has been opened for some time. I believe it won't be long before people from the other two areas will come one after another. Everyone can prepare in advance." Xiao Muyang said: "In addition, continue to maintain a state of alert and do not poison. People can take advantage of this opportunity."
"I have something I don't know whether to say or not." At this time, an old man said.
"But it doesn't matter." Xiao Muyang looked at the old man and said.
"The situation is completely under our control now. Unless those who poisoned us don't want to live anymore, I'm afraid they won't appear again. As for Qi Yue, he is alone now. Even if he wants revenge, he is powerless. If he continues to wait because of them, Go down, is there something wrong?"
The meaning of the old man's words was very obvious. He believed that the poisoner and Qi Yue were no threat to them and should not continue to be vigilant.
Xiao Muyang's expression remained unchanged, he looked at the others and asked, "Does everyone have the same view?"
"I think what Mr. Liao said is not unreasonable. Now the Daqi Dynasty exists in name only. If they never show up, do we have to be vigilant all the time?" A middle-aged man said: "Moreover, Daqi is leaderless now, and soon there will be others. People from all regions will come, and if there is no leader to take charge of the overall situation, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble."
Many people nodded silently, this was what they thought.
Xiao Muyang showed his thoughts, but he had not considered this aspect. In the past, everyone unanimously dealt with the royal family, so they could naturally work together. But now that the royal family has been overthrown, they will not be as united as before, and will still fight for the interests of their own forces. .
"They are right. Without a leader to take charge of the situation, there will be chaos. Even if you don't want to take care of it, you have to let someone take care of it for you." At this time, a voice came into Xiao Muyang's ears, and it was Qin Huai who spoke.
Xiao Muyang nodded slightly after hearing Qin Huai's words, and then sent a message to Yang Jiuxiao: "What do you think, sect master?"
"It's all up to you." Yang Jiuxiao responded.
Xiao Muyang smiled bitterly in his heart and directly pushed the problem to him.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Muyang said to everyone: "Give me a few more days, and I will give you an answer after I think about it clearly."
Many people have a strange look in their eyes, does this still need to be considered?
Doesn't he want to be emperor?
In their minds, ascending the throne and becoming emperor is the highest achievement. As for breaking through the world and going to the outside world, it is just a beautiful fantasy. No one has done it since ancient times. Maybe the outside world does not exist at all.
It's not that their vision is narrow, but that their cognition is limited and they don't have any understanding of the outside world, so they have such thoughts.
After chatting for a while, everyone left the meeting hall one after another. During this period, they will stay in Daozong and wait for Xiao Muyang's decision.
At this time, there were only two people left in the hall, Xiao Muyang and Yang Jiuxiao.
"Senior, how is the progress of Dan Qiuzi and Zu Li refining the medicine?" Xiao Muyang looked at Yang Jiuxiao and asked, the two of them have been refining the medicine for some time, and the results should be there soon.
"I don't know either. They didn't come out after refining medicine in seclusion. I don't know what the situation is inside." Yang Jiuxiao said with a bitter smile.
Xiao Muyang frowned slightly, with a vague foreboding feeling. Logically speaking, refining elixirs does not take such a long time, could it be a failure?
Seemingly aware of Xiao Muyang's worries, Yang Jiuxiao comforted him: "We still don't know the results yet. Before they come out, everything is unknown. Don't think too much."
"Yes." Xiao Muyang nodded. Although he knew that Yang Jiuxiao was trying to comfort him, he could only think about the good outcome now.
"You didn't say your decision directly just now. Did you really not think of it, or did you not want to say it?" Yang Jiuxiao asked.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it can be realized." Xiao Muyang said.
"What idea?" Yang Jiuxiao asked.
"I was born in a small kingdom in the border area, and the places I passed through when I went to Beihu County and Donghua Mansion were all based on the dynasty system. Although such a system can unified control of power, the distribution of power is too centralized and is not effective. It is conducive to the development of martial arts." Xiao Muyang said.
The fall of the Daqi Dynasty was due to the dominance of one family, and they were worried that their throne of power would be shaken, so once a monster appeared, they would do anything to kill it. How could a martial arts civilization develop in this way?
Yang Jiuxiao took a deep look at Xiao Muyang, and her heart was filled with ups and downs.
If these words came from Qin Huai's mouth, he wouldn't be too surprised. After all, Qin Huai is the king of a country, and he will naturally look at problems from a higher perspective. But Xiao Muyang is just a junior figure, and he can think so deeply. It really made him feel incredible.
"So, you want to change the dynasty system?" Yang Jiuxiao asked in a solemn voice.
"I have this idea." Xiao Muyang nodded.
"How do you want to change?" Yang Jiuxiao asked again, he was a little curious about Xiao Muyang's thoughts.
"Replace dynasties with alliances."
Xiao Muyang explained: "Take the core region as an example. Select some top forces from the five major regions to form an alliance to jointly establish order and control other forces. In this way, there will not be a situation where one company is dominant, and there will be conflicts among the forces. Competing with each other will promote martial arts."
"The same applies to prefectures, counties, and even kingdoms. Order is maintained by alliances. The county alliance is under the jurisdiction of the prefecture alliance, and the prefecture alliance is under the jurisdiction of the central regional alliance. It is similar to the dynasty system, but there are essential differences."
Yang Jiuxiao probably understood what Xiao Muyang meant, and said: "The dynasty system was not established by the Daqi Dynasty, but was inherited from each dynasty. Even though this system has disadvantages, it is very stable. If you want Changing this system may cause other problems.”
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if multiple forces secretly unite to suppress other forces, even if one company does not dominate?"
"This is what worries me." Xiao Muyang replied. He thought of this disadvantage, so he didn't mention it just now.
If there is no leader to take control of the situation, it is very likely that a group of heroes will compete with each other, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Even if the forces such as Daozong, Qianyuan Palace, and Ten Thousand Demon Islands are currently on friendly terms, who can guarantee that such relationships will be maintained in the future?
The Ten Thousand Demon Islands hundreds of thousands of years ago serve as a warning. After the death of the Qilin King, although the most powerful people were taken away, the Ten Thousand Demon Sea Territory was still plunged into war and its strength declined a lot.
From this point of view, there must be a leader who takes control of the overall situation in order to avoid chaos.
Suddenly thinking of something, a ray of light shone in Xiao Muyang's eyes, he looked at Yang Jiuxiao and asked: "If Dao Zong is the leader, what do you think, senior?"
"No." Yang Jiuxiao denied directly.
Xiao Muyang looked stunned, can't he?
"Any force can serve as a leader, but Dao Zong must not. Otherwise, it will violate the original intention of Dao Zong and change the beliefs of Dao Zong disciples." Yang Jiuxiao said seriously: "Imagine if Dao Zong is the world's leader. The leader of the force, then what status will the Dao Sect disciples have after they leave?"
After Yang Jiuxiao reminded him, Xiao Muyang immediately understood that Daozong could only be a holy place for preaching.
"Do we really want to establish a dynasty?" Xiao Muyang murmured to himself. The establishment of a dynasty was just a matter of words for him, but after he left, who would control the dynasty? Will there be someone like Qi Yue in the future? tyrant?
No matter how you do it, there will be drawbacks.
Xiao Muyang was thinking, is there no perfect way?
"This matter is very important. You should consider it carefully before making a decision." Yang Jiuxiao said, and then showed a kind smile: "No matter what decision you make, Daozong will always support you."
"Thank you for your trust, senior." Xiao Muyang smiled.
"Don't forget, you are still the honorary master of Dao Sect. Your will is the will of Dao Sect." Yang Jiuxiao said with a smile.
In addition to this, there is another reason, Xiao Muyang has never let him down!
