Chapter 95 It's all the moon's fault
(The matter in the fairyland has been rolled out, and the bigger world is about to be expanded below)
However, Yunzhou wanted to win back his dignity and interests through challenges, but reality was always too cruel; all the challenges failed. It was not that Yunzhou's masters did not work hard, but that the masters of Shang Kingdom... were too cheating! Each magic weapon suit with all his body could pull out more than a dozen magic weapons. Isn't it possible to fight at all?
The masters on Yunzhou often exhausted their means, but they were still unable to break through the magic weapon protection of the masters of Shang Kingdom.
When a battle ended, Yunzhou was defeated in an all-round way; Zhang Xianzhang led the Shang Dynasty masters, merchants, mercenary groups, etc., with the power of victory, and began formal colonial rule in Yunzhou, with rapid expansion. In just over a dozen days, important cities such as Baihong Gate and Shenbing Gate controlled the Imperial City in the area began to be significantly affected.
Here, a large number of Shangguo goods began to appear, which were exquisite, cheap and rich in variety compared to local goods; a large amount of wealth flowed into the pockets of Shangguo people, and then Shangguo people began to destroy local businesses bit by bit, etc., and signs of monopoly began to appear.
In the business world, there are strict legal provisions, and some things are explicitly prohibited; but in Yunzhou and in colonies, of course they are unscrupulous.
"Damn it!" Yu Duque stamped his feet angrily, but he was powerless. The information he had investigated from Shang State was also sent back. The situation was very bad. Shang State had basically completed the war and the domestic situation had stabilized. Moreover, Yingzhou is temporarily the three-legged state of Ning State, Tang State, and Shang State, and the external situation is also very stable.
The small countries on Yingzhou either surrender to Ningguo or were annexed by Shangguo and Tangguo, and there was no third way to go.
There is also Haozhou, which also shows a three-legged tripod in Haozhou - the Dragon Teeth Empire and the Shang Kingdom occupying the central part of Haozhou, as well as the countries scattered around Haozhou. Especially the scattered countries, they also realized that the situation was not good and had begun to unite.
In addition, the Shang Kingdom has begun to intervene in the war of Dongsheng Shenzhou and fertile Shenzhou. Yunzhou... is a bit lonely! Also, although the colonial trade launched by Shang Kingdom this time was guided by Shang Kingdom, the main force came from the people - that is to say, Yunzhou could not even stop a branch of the Shang Kingdom's civil power!
"Cough cough..." Jin Deye coughed a few times, his face was not very good, and his chest was penetrated during the battle still did not recover. After coughing twice, Jin Deye said slowly: "It seems that relying solely on us is afraid that we will not be able to compete with Shang Kingdom. There is only one way to do this for the present plan."
"What method?" Yu Duque asked urgently.
"United to the Demon Clan!" Jin Deye slowly said these four words, which seemed very heavy, "You send someone to the Demon Holy Island... No, go directly to the Demon Clan's base camp, Bai Yujing Shenzhou, and directly visit the current Demon Clan demon emperor."
"This..." Yu Duque was suddenly stunned. What is Master Zu doing? Not only did he take the initiative to contact the demon clan, he actually went to the base camp of the demon clan to contact the demon king of the demon clan? Isn't this a bit too crazy?
Although the current Demon Emperor and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty in Dongsheng Shenzhou belong to the same level - nameless but not real, they are the Demon Emperor after all.
After thinking about it, Yu Duque finally said: "I'm afraid I need to gather everyone to discuss this matter."
"Of course!" Jin Deye nodded, "Of course we can't handle the matters of contacting the demon clan."
Before everyone could disperse, Yu Duque announced the news immediately. At first, everyone was "surprised" and did not expect that Yu Duque would be like this.
Yu Duque saw the expressions of everyone, but sneered repeatedly. Did you really not expect it? "Since everyone didn't expect it, let's forget it. It seems that this suggestion will not be accepted by the majority of Yunzhou people."
"No, no, maybe this is a direction that can be considered!" Zhu Zihua, the leader of the Changqing Sect, quickly improved his attitude. "I agree with the proposal of the leader Yu Duque, but we need to investigate the vast world of cultivation. Don't cause disgust at that time, it will be bad if the cultivators in Yunzhou are attracted by Shangguo."
Everyone immediately said: It's not bad, what Zhu Zihua said makes sense, we need to investigate it first; but for the time being, we still agree with the proposal of leader Yu Duque.
When everyone dispersed, Yu Duque snorted coldly with anger: "These bastards all feel that they are very smart, right? The hypocrites who claim to be decent are really not as cute as those real villains who are evil!
Although Lan Yingyu was angry when talking to Jian Wuxin, he could always make the words clear; but these bastards felt good about themselves, and they spoke roundaboutly, hiding their heads and tails. When they finished the matter, they were afraid that Yunzhou would have completely fallen into the control of Shang Kingdom.
It's time, and I'm still intrigue! There are problems in my head!"
However, when Yu Duque got angry, the head of Changqing Sect Zhu Zihua, the head of Piaomiao Sect, Yan Yunzong, the head of Xiaoshan Sword Sect, and Yun Cuiyan, the head of Bishui Sect, gathered together to discuss. These four people can be said to be representatives of the righteous sect on Yunzhou.
Zhu Zihua was the first to speak: "Everyone, I don't agree with joining the demon clan now. I just made a statement that I just wanted to stabilize the Tianbao Pavilion. I think there are at least two reasons that hinder us from joining the demon clan now.
First, since ancient times, the demon clan has been in a hostile relationship with us. How do we unite with the demon clan? How will the cultivators view us? This involves the second point.
Second, the methods temporarily demonstrated by Shang State were actually relatively mild. For the majority of casual cultivators, the arrival of Shang State brought them rich and cheap resources.
Therefore, I do not agree with the alliance with the demon clan. But one thing is that we need someone to block the footsteps of the Shang Kingdom, so that we can have time to gather the sect and transfer the sect."
"Transfer? Where to transfer?" Yan Yunzhen asked curiously. It is not easy for a large sect to transfer. Moreover, the large sect will inevitably be obstructed when moving to other areas.
Zhu Zihua smiled slightly: "Legendly, on the vast sea of fantasy east of Yunzhou, there is a hidden continent, which some people call "Guazhou". Coincidentally, in recent years, we found Guazhou.
It was a world with few people. Many places even preserved the scenes of ancient times, and even found some treasures that only existed in ancient legends, etc..”
After hearing this, everyone was naturally ecstatic; however, after being happy, they were full of questions. There is really such a beautiful place in this world? There is such a good place, why don’t you enjoy it yourself?
Zhu Zihua looked at everyone's suspicious eyes and smiled embarrassedly: "Of course, it not only retains the scenes from ancient times, but also has some dangers from ancient times, including the place of poisonous miasma, including powerful monsters, etc. They are monsters, not monsters.
Compared with the demon race, most monsters are arrogant, have strong bodies, and have natural magical powers, but cannot transform into shapes, live habits, etc. are close to wild beasts. Most monsters have single attack methods, but because of their singleness, they are particularly powerful, similar to the idea of Xiaoshan Sword Sect's idea of breaking all things with one sword.
Also, in Guazhou, we found traces of the ancient demonic path, but they were looming. In addition, we had little power and limited exploration, and we found very little information.
But one thing is certain: Guazhou is a hidden world, and it can be seen as a super cave heaven, or even fragments of the ancient fairyland."
Yan Yunzong, Ji Yangzi, and Yun Cuiyan looked at each other, and they could see the surprise and joy in each other's eyes; after a moment, Ji Yangzi spoke: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, if it is really as you said, such a place should be good.
On the one hand, we can use Yunzhou as the battlefield to hinder the extension of the power of Shang and the country, and on the other hand, we can start a new career and develop and grow in Guazhou.
Also, isn’t Shang Kingdom going to colonize Yunzhou? We can also colonize Yunzhou. Shang Kingdom starts from the north, and we start from the south, and try our best to empty Yunzhou’s resources, talents, etc. When necessary, we can summon troops in Yunzhou to fight against Shang Kingdom.”
Yun Cuiyan from Bishui Sect is a woman with a lot of care, but she said at this time: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, time is tight now, so we are afraid that we can't deal with Shangguo while dealing with Tianbao Pavilion, and then sending people to explore Guazhou, etc. Therefore, I have a suggestion.
First, fellow Daoist Zhu and the senior executives of the Changqing Sect swear to the sky and disclose all the information about Guazhou.
Second, after swearing, we will respect the leader of the Evergreen Sect and advance and retreat together in the subsequent actions, whether it is to deal with Tianbao Pavilion, fight against the Shang Kingdom, or even gain a foothold and explore in Guazhou.
Third, we agreed with the proposal of Tianbao Pavilion on the surface to push Tianbao Pavilion to the top of the wind, attract the attention of Shang Kingdom, and press the matter of uniting the demon clan on Tianbao Pavilion."
Ji Yangzi, the head of Xiaoshan Sword Sect, frowned slightly: "How should we treat Tianbao Pavilion?"
Yan Yunzong, the head of Piaomiao Sect, lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said softly: "Tianbao Pavilion will be the hero of Yunzhou. In order to deal with the invasion of Shang Kingdom, Tianbao Pavilion had no choice but to contact the demon clan, and would rather bear the charge than protect Yunzhou.
However, the war was cruel and the Shang Kingdom was even more cruel and unkind. He killed the Tianbao Pavilion. Countless cultivators in Yunzhou fled to the sky and formed a legion under the leadership of the remaining seven sects in Yunzhou to counterattack Shang Kingdom and fight to the death!"
A faint voice flowed out, but it made the person who heard this feel cold. Especially Ji Yangzi, the head of Xiaoshan Sword Sect, actually shivered. Xiaoshan Sword Sect belongs to the inheritance of the sword immortals, and believes in breaking all methods with one sword, and its thoughts are relatively single. Have you ever had such a gloomy and evil idea? Besides, the one who proposed this idea was actually the head of the Zhengdao Sect!
However, Zhu Zihua, the head of Changqing Sect, and Yun Cuiyan, the head of Bishui Sect, nodded neatly after hearing this. It is indeed worth sacrificing a Tianbao Pavilion! Who made Tianbao Pavilion so active? You want this and that one? Don’t you know what it means to "wind destroys the forest trees and rain blows the heads"!
After the four of them finished the discussion, they started a decent sect disciple to conduct a quick investigation, and then sorted out the results before returning to the hall of the meeting.
Zhu Zihua loudly praised: "The leader of Yu is aware. According to our investigation results, our sect basically supports the union of demon clans and expelling Shangguo; and among the people, almost 40% of people agree, 30% of people oppose, and 30% of people ignore it. Overall, we believe that we can unite with the demon clan, but we need to do some beautiful publicity and beautify it."
Yan Yunzong, Ji Yangzi, and Yun Cuiyan nodded in agreement as a whole, and even said that they would fully support Tianbao Pavilion in doing so.
Five of the top ten sects expressed their contact with the demon clan. The remaining two were arrested, and only three had the right to speak. The minority obeyed the majority. The resolution was passed:
Tianbao Pavilion represented Yunzhou to visit the Demon Clan’s great book, Bai Yujing Shenzhou, and the Demon Emperor. As for the result, Yu Duque was also a little nervous, but things had reached this point and had to be fired.
After a little discussion, everyone formed a negotiation team together, led by Jin Deye, the Sanxian of Tianbao Pavilion, and one Sanxian from the other nine sects each produced a Sanxian. Then, dozens of Sanxian were ordered from the first-class power of Yunzhou, and some lonely masters formed a total of 80 Sanxian teams and flew towards the Baiyujing Shenzhou billions of miles away.
Fortunately, as scattered immortals, they are all high-level scattered immortals. They expect to teleport to Baiyujing in just ten days and half a month. Of course, the consumption will be a bit large, so before that, they had to buy a batch of fairy spirit energy and pure liquid spiritual energy from the Shang Kingdom at a high price as reserve.
While Jin Deye and his group were on the road with anxiety, the demon clan royal court was holding a grand ceremony to sacrifice to the sky in the distant Baiyujing Shenzhou.
On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head. In fact, this day is not just a dragon raising its head. Almost most demons can raise their heads on this day, and they also need to raise their heads. The so-called raising their heads, from the perspective of cultivation, means that their cultivation will go further.
The demon clan is different from the human clan. The demon clan is naturally stronger in harmony with the world than humans; therefore, the demon clan has the deepest understanding of the changes between the world. On February 2nd, the yang energy rises. If it is combined with special sacrificial techniques, formations, etc., it can bring considerable benefits to the demon clan. It is too big to say, but at least it can add some insights, which is conducive to breaking through the bottleneck.
Moreover, this year coincides with a Jiazi cycle every sixty years, and the yin and yang energy between heaven and earth burst out at the same time, and the gathering of three talents is great for the demon clan.
The Demon Emperor Palace was very lively at this time.
The Demon Emperor Palace is located on Zhaixing Peak, which is the center of Baiyujing Shenzhou and the highest peak. Its height is even higher than the highest mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, the No Night Peak; however, no one and no demon dared to demolish Zhaixing Peak.
The Demon Emperor Palace is very grand, with a peak in the center standing proudly, and the mountainside is apron paved with white snow. Clouds float on the mountain. The golden Demon Emperor Palace is like the crown on the Pearl Star Peak.
However, around Zhaixing Peak, there are more than a dozen peaks, each with buildings, including the palaces of powerful tribes such as dragon, dragon, phoenix, vermilion bird, qilin, white ze, white tiger, black trunk, golden roll, golden crow, heavenly fox, god ape, grass and wood elves, and heavenly centimeters.
At this time, the essence of more than a dozen peaks transformed, and the shadows of the monsters swayed, gradually gathering towards the Zhaixing Peak in the center.
The Demon Emperor and the Demon Queen stood hand in hand on the central holy land of the Demon Emperor Palace in the Demon Emperor Palace. At this time, there was already a faint slight energy floating here, which was the essence of the earth gathered by the Demon Emperor.
There are dozens of top demon masters around, all from powerful demon tribes, or particularly powerful casual cultivators; and Zhulong clan's sanctum Zhu Tianyu, who had been hovering in the Shang Kingdom in the past, occupies a place here.
The person responsible for the on-site order is the Dazai of the demon clan, the descendant of the bloodline of the Bai Ze divine beast, and Qing Ming.
The person responsible for the ritual sacrifice to the sky was Hongxue from the Phoenix Clan.
The sun slowly sets, but today the moon rises particularly early, and it turns out to be the same as the sun and the moon.
At this time, the essence of the earth on the Star Picking Platform turned into a dragon shape, fusing the shadows of the monsters on the surrounding mountains and penetrated into the sky.
"It's right now!" Hongxue shouted lightly, and instantly turned into a huge body. A huge flame of more than a hundred feet rose into the sky.
With the help of formations and the power of sacrifice, Hongxue will guide the power of yin and yang in the sky and merge with the essence of the earth that rises from the earth.
Around the surroundings, countless demon races have been prepared. As long as the yin and yang are united with the power of the earth, the heaven and earth can be united, and yin and yang are harmonized, forming a special atmosphere that can promote the progress of cultivation and perception.
The sun that was about to set suddenly brightened, and golden lights were attracted. However, the moon in the sky seemed to have no change!
"No!" Hongxue was puzzled, but increased her strength and continued to activate the formation; suddenly, the moon began to shine.
Hong Xueshang breathed a sigh of relief; however, the next moment, it seemed that a spot broke into it, and the flashing moon quickly dimmed, and of course the moon's moon did not fall!
Hongxue was stunned for the first time, and she encountered this situation; she saw that the sun was about to set, Hongxue let out a long roar, and the flames were rising all over her body, causing the moon to fall again.
The moon shone brightly again; but soon, the moon's light disappeared after a few flashes, and calmness returned to its original state. Hongxue's pupils contracted, and she keenly discovered that there seemed to be many black spots moving on the moon.
"Is the moon moldy?" Hongxue was suddenly stunned.
But at this moment, Zhu Tianyu was stunned when he was looking at the moon around him. This situation...it seemed to be what he should know. What is this? This is... By the way, satellite! Shang Guo has many actions in Tianwaitian!
Just at this moment, the sun finally set, and the essence of the sun in the sky also quickly dissipated. The dragon transformed from the essence of the earth whine, shattered, and turned into the essence of the earth again and returned to the earth.
The masters of the demon clan looked at the scene in front of him foolishly, and suddenly the big monster roared angrily, and the scene soon broke out of control. Many big monsters rushed to the Star Picking Platform to ignite the Phoenix Hongxue.
The Demon Emperor was also panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment. The current Demon Emperor is similar to the emperor of the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty of the human race. He has no rights and no ability.
The scene was about to lose control, and Zhu Tianyu suddenly jumped out: "Everyone is quiet, I know the reason! This time, it was caused by Shangguo!"
Chapter completed!
