The Shenzhou camp urgently dispatched a large army to resist, and at the same time negotiated with the two demon tribes, willing to increase the amount of tribute.

The demon would not allow it. The two tribes insisted on ceding part of the territory in the northern region on the grounds of resisting the charmed tapir.

The three tribes fought intermittently, winning or losing each other. The human tribe had enough defense but insufficient offense. The demon and demon armies were unable to defeat the human race. Finally, in early October, after the three tribes compromised, they signed the "Northern Territory Alliance" in Yuanqiu City in the Northern Territory.

》.

The "Northern Territory Alliance" is another humiliating contract made by the human race in Shenzhou after the "Three Tribes Peace Conference".

The "Northern Territory Alliance" was also called the "Yuanqiu Nine Articles" because it was signed in Yuanqiu City:

"First, in order to facilitate the three tribes to fight against the Northern Tapir and consolidate the Taiyin defense line, Shenzhou is willing to invite the two demon tribes to station in the northern region as an alliance of the three tribes."

"Article 2: The sixty-four counties east of the Yuanshui River in the Northern Territory will be temporarily loaned to the Monster Clan for garrisoning for a period of five thousand years."

"Article 3: The sixty-seven counties west of Tongshan in the Northern Territory will be temporarily loaned to the demon clan for garrisoning for a period of five thousand years."

"Article 4: Any actions of any garrison in the northern region of the three tribes should be notified to the other two tribes."

"Article 5: All the human races east of Yuanshui and west of Tongshan must move away from their places of origin before next spring. As of next May, those who have not yet moved will be deemed to be subject to the treatment of the two races."

"Article 6: The cities, caves, commercial buildings, city defense formations, crops, spiritual mines and other items east of the Yuanshui River and west of the Tongshan Mountain are not allowed to be deliberately destroyed. They should all be peacefully handed over to the demon and demon tribes."

"Article 7: The three tribes can trade with each other without charging any business taxes."

"Article 8: In view of the fact that there are still a few demons that cannibalize humans, the demon and demon clans promise to strictly prohibit feeding on human flesh and blood. Demons who violate the order of eating human flesh and drinking human blood will be severely punished."

"Article 9: The human race allows the free navigation of long-distance spaceships to the east of Yuanshui River and the west of Tongshan. The human race is not allowed to interfere. However, the demon and demon tribes promise that the long-distance spacecraft will not deviate from the fixed route."

When the news of the signing of the "Northern Territory Alliance" came, the world was in chaos and people were excited!

However, many people also believe that there is no way around it and they have to give in. Shenzhou Camp has tried its best.

Most of the elite armies of the Shenzhou camp are on the Taiyin Mountain defense line. Although the Ten Thousand Immortal Army is strong, the demons and monsters have similar bases. If the humans use the Ten Thousand Immortal Army, the demons will also use the most powerful means.

In the view of the Wu family nobles, it is already good to cede only the northern territory east of Yuanshui River and west of Tongshan Mountain.

Why do you say that?

Because the Northern Territory is eight million miles from east to west and three million miles from north to south, which is huge!

And how much territory do the more than one hundred counties east of Yuan River and west of Tongshan occupy in the Northern Territory?

Together they only account for one-fifth of the Northern Territory!

The population is less than one-tenth that of the Northern Territory.

This means that four-fifths of the Northern Territory is still under the control of Shenzhou.

By ceding only one-fifth of the Northern Territory, peace can be achieved, and the three tribes can jointly guard the Northern Territory to resist the charmed tapirs. This result is already very good, but what else can be done?

Otherwise, can we continue to fight against the monster no matter the cost?

Among the decision-makers in Shenzhou Camp, only a few people such as Yu Yan were opposed to the "Northern Territory Alliance". Most of the big shots chose to sign it in order to end the confrontation with the demons as soon as possible.

At this point, no one can change the signing of the "Northern Territory Alliance".

On the ceded territory, there were no strong vassals, only small and medium-sized martial lords. Although these small and medium-sized lords were extremely dissatisfied, their arms could not squeeze their thighs. In addition, the powerful vassals promised to give their retainers and vassals high positions, so they could only

You can only cooperate obediently.

The most unlucky ones are the vast number of humble cultivators in the east of Yuan River and the west of Tongshan!

Unlike local feudal lords and nobles, they can go to the central region to serve as retainers and lords for super powerful feudal lords.

There is no resettlement plan for them. Not only do they not get any compensation, they also have to be driven out of their homeland, displaced and have nowhere to go!

It was already very difficult for them, but now their homeland is being "temporarily borrowed for five thousand years" by demons, and even their homeland is gone.

We must leave before next spring!

When the news came, they were angry, sad, and resentful. But in front of the powerful Shenzhou camp and the demon army, what could they do but accept this shameful and cruel reality?

In this world, no one cares about their life or death.

Of course, the Shenzhou Camp did not show any signs. After signing the "Northern Territory Alliance", the Supreme Command ordered that priority should be given to recruiting casual cultivators from the east of Yuanshui and the west of Tongshan into the new army, miners, and workers.

At the same time, they are encouraged to live elsewhere and are exempt from taxes for three years.

It seems to have some accommodation, and seems to have some conscience. But compared with the huge losses of local casual repairmen, it is simply a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.

Rather than saying it is resettlement, it is more of a hypocritical gesture by the Shenzhou Camp.

After Jiang Yao learned about it, he immediately sent a message to the Qing clan court, the Jiang clan, and the Jin Yiwei, asking them to send people to the west of Tongshan in the Northern Territory to spread the news and lead the Hanmen cultivators west of Tongshan to cross the river to the Western Territory.

!

Mainly go to Qingva, go to Jiangdong, and go to Daming Mountain!

This is definitely a good opportunity for him to absorb population resources.

After Jiang Yao's order was issued, the Qing clan court, Jiang Zong, and Jin Yiwei immediately took action.

On that day, someone was ordered to take action and rush to the Northern Territory!

Under Jiang Yao's resettlement plan regardless of cost, in the next few months, a steady stream of loose cultivators from poor families in the west of Tongshan, in family units, went south, crossed the Huangtian River, entered the Western Region, and were diverted to Jiangdong.

, Qingva, Daming Mountain.

As a result, in less than half a year, the Qing clan's casual cultivator population soared from 13 million to more than 20 million.

The population of Jiangdong has increased by five to six million. Even the Jiangshui islands have become inhabited again, with more than 10 million immigrants.

Even the area under the jurisdiction of Daming Mountain has seen an increase of more than one million people.

The population under ginger medicine's control has exceeded the 50 million mark.

However, the 6 billion windfall that Jiang Yao collected from the Shanhe Society was also consumed by resettlement.

Although the population of Jiang Yao's territory doubled, he also became a pauper.

However, his willingness value is also increasing every day.

Of course, this is all a story for later.

…………

Mu Palace, inside the Five Elements Monastery Palace.

A young man stood there for a long time holding a long knife, surrounded by a dense formation of killing thoughts, as if he would release a fierce killing move at any time.

I don't know how long it took, but the young man suddenly opened his bright eyes and slashed out with a long knife.

Suddenly there was a collapse sound from the entire space, and it seemed to be split into two.

The stunning and treacherous sword intent instantly dimmed the surrounding formation's killing thoughts.

The faint starlight seems to descend from the void, carrying a noble and mysterious meaning. Even the thought of killing is so bright and beautiful. It seems that if you die under this sword light, you can be brilliant and truly eternal without any pain.

.

It wasn't until the bright light of the knife dissipated that Jiang Yao came back to his senses.

Using this Five Elements Cultivation Palace, after three days and three nights of true enlightenment, he finally fully understood the sword of his teacher Jiang Yin.

Only then did he realize that his previous brilliant sword was actually wrong.

In other words, they are specious but superficially similar.

The sword strike just now was a truly brilliant slash.

It turns out that the meaning of this knife is not longing and regret, but hope!

That’s right, that’s hope!

Hope begins with death.

There are many kinds of death, and one of them is hope.

If death belongs to hope, it is not real death.

"What a powerful sword skill." Jiang Yao murmured to himself, a look of surprise slowly appearing in his eyes.

This is his only martial art that can rival Poison Dao and Wish Force Technique!

Jiang Yao was sure that this sword attack would be difficult for ordinary warriors to resist.

Due to the limitation of his wish power value, his wish power technique has been unable to progress, and his poison path methods are also limited by his medicine path cultivation, making it difficult to improve.

The only things that Jiang Yao can effectively improve at the moment are his martial arts combat skills and his medicinal magical power of turning medicine into weapons.

Next, Jiang Yao began to practice Mu's "Mo Knife Jue" and Li Shizhen's "Yaowu Zhenjing".

"The Black Sword Technique" is Mu's top sword skill, which is difficult for ordinary people to practice. But Jiang Yao is a perfect Taoist foundation and has eaten magic beads. He can practice "The Black Sword Technique" much faster than ordinary people.

Especially after thoroughly comprehending Jiang Yin's "brilliant" move, he seems to know everything, and seems to have a deeper and higher understanding of the way of the sword. Jiang Yao's practice of "Mo Knife Jue" is like a divine help.

A few days later, Jiang Yao suddenly grew up and swung out his sword.

The originally bright and bright sword light suddenly became as dark as ink, and the long sword was as long as a pen.

There was a "Crack" sound, and a dark ink mark streaked across, and the entire space suddenly became extremely cold, like a cold rainy night.

The intent of the knife is not sharp, but it carries a hearty and hearty murderous aura, as if the Autumn of Slaughter has arrived and the execution ground is ready for killing people.
