Chapter 182: 181. The Winner Is King (1)
Translator: 549690339
Changchun Palace was located in Qinzhou, and the Demonic Sect had yet to officially set foot there.
The demonic army of Shu Prefecture and Yu Prefecture focused their attacks on Ezhou.
However, Qinzhou was not having an easy time either, because they were facing the threat of the alien races in the north.
At the same time, the Demon Emperor had personally arrived at Yuzhou in the east, killed Emperor Xia Li Yuanlong, and conquered the capital of the Xia Dynasty. He had turned Yujing City into Luoyang City, causing the Xia Dynasty martial artists in Qinzhou to be surrounded by enemies on all sides and have no way to advance or retreat.
Now that the Demonic Sect was taking over the Divine Prefecture, in order to ensure that they could control the new regions as soon as possible, they gathered as many people as possible and temporarily had no time to pay attention to Qinzhou.
However, it would not be that difficult to take down Eternal Spring Palace.
No matter how strong Su Wei was, he was at least at the ninth realm of the Martial Path, Kongming.
It was not a problem for him to go to Eternal Spring Palace alone.
However, in order to carry out the Cult Master’s orders, Su Wei brought his younger brother Su Ye and a portion of the Black Tortoise Hall’s disciples and rushed to Qinzhou at full speed.
When they reached the place, there was no suspense. The Eternal Spring Palace obediently lowered its head.
However, he still needed some time to complete the sect master’s order.
As a second-grade force, the Changchun Palace was not a commoner at all. They had many businesses and many people.
It was precisely because they worked hard in the fields, raising seedlings between mountains and rivers, that the industrial area of Changchun Palace was quite vast, including countless farms and mountains.
In order to gather all the people in the Changchun Palace who were active in the area before moving, even with Su Wei’s shrewdness, he still needed time.
However, no matter what they did, the other forces in Qinzhou Province, including the Zhao family in Weinan, seemed to be completely invisible. It was as if Changchun Palace had never been in Qinzhou Province.
The pressure from the foreign tribes in the north was already suffocating, and they really didn’t want to provoke the Demon Cult in the south.
Some people even started to think about it.
The Great Xia Dynasty had already left the stage of history. The next ruler of the Divine Lands would be decided between the Demonic Sect and the Outsiders.
If he did not have the heart to resist, could he consider choosing a new backer as soon as possible?
In fact, there were many people in the Divine Lands who had started to think about similar things.
It was just that the decisive battle between the Saber Emperor and the Demon Emperor was about to begin, and some people were waiting to see the final outcome.
Of course, there were also some people who gritted their teeth and decided to gamble.
If he won the bet before the final battle between the two emperors, the result would definitely be better than hugging someone’s thigh after the dust settled.
However, if he lost the bet, he might be consigned to eternal damnation.
Of course, the Eternal Spring Palace didn’t have to worry about this choice.
The Demon Cult’s big club was already hanging above their heads.
” Chief, the people in Changchun Palace have been gathered. However, it will take some time to gather the people who are wandering in various industries. The Black Tortoise Four Pears reported to Su Wei.
“Those who have already gathered, send them to the Sect Master of Yuzhou first.” Su Wei waved his hand.
After all, this place wasn’t the Demon Cult’s territory, and it could be affected by the foreign tribes ‘army at any time.
With Su Ye by his side, Su Wei himself was not afraid.
However, it would be bad if they lost their Black Turtle Hall disciples and the people of the Eternal Spring Palace.
The people from the Changchun Palace that he had found should be sent away as soon as possible.
The Hierarch was going to have a martial arts competition with the Saber Emperor soon. It was uncertain whether they could make it in time to send him to the Hierarch, but the members of the Demonic Sect would definitely do their best and not dare to delay.
“Tell our disciples to keep an eye on them. Bring back all the people from Eternal Spring Palace, no matter how far or near they are. Don’t miss out on anyone, especially those who are good at cultivating spiritual flowers and herbs.” “This matter is of great importance. We can’t neglect it,” Su Wei instructed.
Black Tortoise Hall’s disciples, such as Black Water Li and Black Tortoise Four White Pear, heard their Chief’s serious tone and immediately replied with a straight face, “”Yes, Chief!”
Su Wei nodded.
He had already begun to guess the Cult Master’s intentions.
Su Wei did not disagree with this.
The better the population base, the richer the folk environment, the more beneficial it would be for the rule and growth of their own religion.
They had long passed the stage where they could only absorb disciples for development when disasters frequently occurred in remote villages.
That was when the mountain was first established hundreds of years ago.
As the God of Fortune who was in charge of the Demon Cult’s money bag, Su Wei firmly believed in the principle of having more money.
The army and horses had not yet moved, and the grain and fodder had to go first.
Even in this world, logistics was the truth in war.
Every high-level martial artist was built from a sea of resources.
When it came to a large-scale war, supplies, equipment, post-war recuperation, and so on would all burn money.
Every day, he thought about how to further generate income, and the dark circles under Su Wei’s eyes deepened.
However, in Su Wei’s eyes, if it could be effectively promoted, then in the long run, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages.
Even if there was no breakthrough in breeding, it was still possible to control the land and population more effectively. However, Su Wei did not get carried away.
He looked towards the north.
Whether this plan could be promoted for a long time or whether it could benefit the Ancient Gods Clan depended on the final result of the competition between the Ancient Gods Clan and the foreign tribes in the north of the desert.
For now, he would just treat it as a preparation.
After handing the matter over to Su Wei, Chen Luoyang temporarily put the matter aside.
As the leader of a sect, it was impossible for him to be idle at this critical moment.
Reporting to Cult Master, the people monitoring the Sword Pavilion have reported that Si Huaifei, Xie Xingmang, and Shi Jing did not return to the Sword Pavilion after the battle at South Cloud Mountain.
Desolate Yuntian’s figure was shrouded in the flowing wind as he reported to
Chen Luoyang, “”There was news that they were found in Lu Prefecture. They might have gone out to sea.”
“Are you going to find Tao WangJi?” Chen Luoyang asked casually.
“This subordinate’s guess is that it’s because of the search for Tao WangJi, and also because of the search for pills. The two are one and the same.” Desolate
Yuntian replied.
Chen Luoyang nodded slightly.
At the same time, he communicated with the black pot in his heart.
In order to prevent any accidents, he had updated the information on the stone mirror a few days ago.
However, he only mentioned that the other party had finally met up with his senior brothers, Si Huaifei and Xie Xingmang. He didn’t mention anything about their whereabouts.
Looking at it now, the three people from the Sword Pavilion were indeed mentioned. They did not return to the Sword Pavilion west, but secretly sailed out to sea together.
This choice was not surprising. Whether it was Xie Xingmang or Shi Jing, their injuries were not light. If they were not treated properly, they might leave behind a root cause like Ming Jue.
After the pill, perhaps there will be a return to heaven.
Moreover, with the Outsider Tribe Leader coming out of seclusion and the Demon Cult Master being so powerful, the situation in the Central Plains was already very difficult to reverse.
It was useless for the three people from the Sword Pavilion to stay. If they could find the Sword Emperor Tao WangJi and the Pill Empress, then perhaps there would be a turn for the better.
However…
Chen Luoyang couldn’t help but mourn for them.
If it wasn’t for the Pill Empress’s brilliant methods that completely concealed the Demon Cult, she should be bringing Ying Qingqing to the west now.
Chen Chuhua didn’t forget to keep an eye on this matter when he was in Jizhou. He specifically sent someone to send the news to Chen Luoyang.
Currently, Pill Empress and Ying Qingqing should have already arrived at the Xue Yu Highlands.
The pitiful Sword Pavilion Master and disciple were floating on the sea…
‘ Don’t pay too much attention to the dog with a broken spine. Just continue to pay attention to the news. ” “This Seat will wait for Tao WangJi to return,” Chen Luoyang calmly instructed.
“Yes, Cult Master.” Desolate Yuntian replied.
‘ Hierarch, ” he continued, ” the remaining members of Misty Cloud Palace in Ba Province are heading west.
After Misty Cloud Palace lost their base in Xiang Province, they had been protected by the Sword Garret for the past two years.
They were constantly thinking about returning to Xiang Prefecture.
Unfortunately, the stage there no longer belonged to them. Instead, it was the front line of the Demonic Sect and the Xia Dynasty.
Misty Cloud Palace also joined this war.
Although he was cautious, he was unlucky and was once again heavily injured by the Demonic Sect.
He had finally recovered a bit of his vitality, but he suffered heavy losses again.
Even though the Demon Cult troops from Shu Province and Yu Province didn’t go north to Ba Province and Qin Province, after Chen Luoyang personally came to Yu Province and killed Xia Emperor Li Yuanlong, Misty Cloud Palace’s descendant couldn’t hold back anymore.
They began to move west again to avoid the pressure brought by the Demonic Sect and the foreign tribes.
To the west was the Snow Plateau, and strictly speaking, it was the Demon Cult’s territory.
Fortunately, the Xue Yu Highlands was vast and sparsely populated, so it was not easy to find people. On the contrary, it was relatively safe.
The death of two Palace Masters finally bent the spine of this former Holy
Land.
Although he hated the Demonic Sect to the bone and couldn’t surrender, he didn’t dare to resist and took the initiative to avoid it.
“Let Hong Yan and his Snowfield Division handle this.” Chen Luoyang said nonchalantly.
“Yes, Cult Master.” Xiao Yuntian replied, ” Besides, what Protector Hong said is true. The descendants of the Devil Monk have indeed appeared in the Snow Plateau and the Western Region again. They are rapidly expanding their followers and spreading their religion. There is a rumor about the ‘Black Lotus Buddha Realm’. We still need to confirm the details. I have already ordered people to investigate the other party’s situation as soon as possible and report back. ‘
Chen Luoyang’s expression didn’t change when he heard this, but his heart stirred slightly.
He felt that the appearance of Sinful Monk in history was different.
Sinful Monk was alone. After he appeared in the Far West, he quickly came east and entered the Central Plains.
But this time, the other party seemed to be a group, advancing step by step, steadily and steadily. Now that the Snow Plateau and the Western Regions had gained a firm foothold, they would slowly spread eastward.
“Pay more attention to this matter.” Chen Luoyang instructed.
“I will follow Cult Master’s orders,” replied Xiao Yuntian.
After the other party retreated, Chen Luoyang fell into deep thought.
At this moment, a disciple of the Azure Dragon Hall suddenly requested an audience and delivered a ” letter ” from Saber Emperor Yuwen Feng.
It was a long stone.
Eleven words were engraved on it.
“How about the Central Plains welcoming guests from the west?”
