The world has changed, the world has completely changed.
Ever since the news came out that the Immortal Sect appeared in the core hinterland of Wagang, the momentum of the Wagang Army has been unprecedented.
In just six months after that, almost ten super first-rate warriors appeared in the Wagang Army.
With so many powerful warriors appearing, the Wagang Army immediately began to annex the world.
In Tongguan, facing the garrison in Guanzhong, Wagang's top-notch warrior drew a five-foot-long air blade with one blow, breaking a large gap in the tall and solid city wall.
At the same time, the soldiers defending this small area were killed without any wounds on their bodies.
This time, the Guanzhong soldiers stationed at Tongguan were frightened.
The battle can no longer go on. Facing such a terrifying single warrior, no matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot withstand a few cuts.
When the Wagang Army showed off seven super strong men outside the pass, the generals in Guanzhong stationed at Tongguan almost collapsed.
Fortunately, the Wagang army did not attack directly, but demanded that Tongguan not be closed in the future, and they were not allowed to block the entry and exit of Wagang warriors.
Otherwise, seven top-notch warriors could directly level Tongguan.
Faced with the terrifying pressure from the powerful men in Wagang, the Guanlong military aristocratic group behind the Tongguan guards had to choose to compromise.
At least, the Wagang Army did not take action directly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
On the other side, five Wagang warriors whose strength had reached a super-class level fought directly outside Jiangdu City.
They made a direct appointment with Yuwen in the city to fight in Chengdu, and told them that if they won, they would let the Yuwen clan take Yang Guang to the south of the Yangtze River. If they were defeated within three years, the Wagang army would not take the initiative to come to find trouble.
Yu Wenhuaji did not agree in a hurry, but Yuwen Chengdu went out of the city privately to accept the challenge from the strong men of Wagang.
This battle was fought with earth-shattering brutality.
A certain area outside Jiangdu City with a radius of more than three feet was reduced by more than three feet in the aftermath of the battle.
Yuwen Chengdu's strength is indeed strong. He is stronger than every Wagang warrior in a single fight. Unfortunately, he met five Wagang warriors in one go.
As a result, he tried hard and failed!
No matter how reluctant he was, the Yuwen Clan had to take the initiative to evacuate Jiangdu.
Otherwise, when the Wagang army sweeps in, even if they want to retreat, they will have no chance.
At the same time, the Yuwen clan was forced to agree to open the border to trade with the Wagang army and not to set up obstacles to the exchanges between the people of the two places.
Then, the power of the Wagang Army spread openly outside Jiangdu City.
It's still the same old method, snatching the manor's land, and then complaining about the land allocation and handing over the name certificate. This process has become quite familiar.
But seeing the guilty heads hung on the flagpole, the big landowners who had taken refuge in Jiangdu City were so frightened that they almost lost their minds.
After understanding the policy of the Wagang Army, they even cursed and were full of hatred. Unfortunately, they could only be incompetent and furious.
At this time, the Wagang Army can no longer be described as thriving.
If the rumors are true, and Wu Dong, the leader of the Wagang Army, really has the power to open the Immortal Gate, won’t the whole world be at his mercy?
Even if the so-called aristocratic families unite, it won't be enough for him to fight alone.
Some high-level forces have completely realized at this time that only top combat power is the foundation.
As for the family power and prestige that I valued in the past, it cannot be said to be useless, but it cannot be regarded as fundamental.
For example, when the Yuwen clan was forced to abandon Jiangdu and completely move to Jiangnan, they conveniently killed Yang Guang, who had been completely crippled.
As a result, it did not cause a fierce backlash from the Yang royal family.
Although the Great Sui Dynasty only lasted for two generations, the royal heritage was not bad at all.
The masters among the royal family are also quite powerful.
This was also one of the main reasons why the Yuwen Clan did not kill Yang Guang after they took control of Jiangdu.
To be honest, the trick of coercing the emperor to control the princes is not that easy to use now that the aristocratic families are in power.
At least, the Sui Dynasty did not establish the lofty prestige that it had during the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and there would be no common people or children of aristocratic families who would be reluctant to part with it.
What Yuwen clan is really afraid of is the intimidation of the royal family's top masters.
It is said that there are one or two super strong men in the Yang royal family.
Their strength is not enough to intimidate the world, but it is enough to scare some ambitious people.
However, Yang Guang has become completely decadent since he moved to Jiangdu.
As a result, he firmly clung to the title of emperor, and had a rogue attitude that directly led to the downfall of the Sui Dynasty.
In the beginning, the royal masters naturally had to protect their lives and maintain their authority.
But as time goes by, which powerful person in the royal family can stand Yang Guang's behavior?
The key thing is that the collective outbreak of the Wagang warrior group gave the powerful royal family a different kind of scenery.
As long as they are strong enough, it doesn't matter whether they have Yang Guang as emperor or not. As long as they are still alive, the Yang royal family still has hope.
In fact, they saw something from the Wagang warriors that made them excited.
Then, when the Yuwen clan evacuated Jiangdu, they simply abandoned Yang Guang.
Yu Wenhuaji was naturally not polite and helped Yang Guang die suddenly.
After that, there was no more tricks like setting up any royal descendants to succeed the throne or hiding face, and directly showed the banner of the Yuwen Clan.
There is no way, the Wagang Army occupies the sixth and seventh floors of the Central Plains, and they don't care about the so-called royal family's face at all. There is no need for the Yuwen Clan to help cover it up.
Ahem, the strong men of Wagang not only targeted Guanzhong and Jiangdu, Dou Jiande's Ministry in Hebei was also greatly affected.
Qin Qiong, Pei Yuanqing and Luo Shixin led an army of 10,000 elite warriors directly to the border of Hebei.
The three of them did not use troops, but directly swept away Dou Jiande's generals in the name of martial arts competition.
The gap in combat power between the two sides was huge, and Dou Jiande's generals immediately lost their courage.
Immediately afterwards, the three people made a request, that is, to allow Wagang's men to move around the countryside of Hebei, and Dou Jiande's ministry not to interfere easily.
The situation was stronger than the people. No matter what Dou Jiande had in mind, he readily agreed in the end.
But from then on, Dou Jiande's troops began to slowly lose their numbers.
Obviously, the blow this time was huge, even forcing Dou Jiande to transfer his power to the north.
What else could happen?
Can we still fight against the Wagang Army?
This time the Wagang Army only sent three first-class warriors. If they don't cooperate, I'm afraid it will probably be five or even ten first-class warriors next time. Can Dou Jiande's troops withstand it?
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the Wagang Army did not move north in a large scale and turn the main force further north to Youzhou or even Liaodong.
If the strong men of Wagang were relatively mild-mannered against the three major warlords in Guanzhong, Jiangnan and Hebei, then they were very rude towards the two families entrenched in Jingchu.
Lin Shihong and Xiao Mian were both from the Yin Kui sect of the demon sect, and neither of them was a good person.
The gangs these two guys belong to are evil sects in the true sense, the kind that do many evil things and are punished by everyone.
To deal with them, the Wagang Army did not send out super strong men, but instead sent out more than fifty first-rate warriors.
In addition, they also brought an army of 20,000 warriors.
As expected, the two warlords who had just occupied the land of Jingchu were no match for each other, whether they were fighting alone or clashing armies.
In just half a year, as the two leaders were defeated, the land of Jingchu easily fell into the hands of the Wagang Army.
This is a good place.
Although the development is not very thorough, it has a considerable foundation.
During the late Han Dynasty, Liu Biao relied on Jingzhou to become one of the countless princes in the world.
During the Three Kingdoms era, Liu Bei captured Jingzhou, which led to the subsequent hegemony of the Shu Han Dynasty.
In future generations, this place will be the most fertile grain-producing area in the entire Central Plains. The saying that "the two lakes are enough for the world" is no joke.
Although Wu Dong was not very interested in the specific government affairs of the Wagang Army at this time, he would not let go of the land of Jingchu easily.
Rather than letting Lin Shihong and Xiao Xian cause trouble, it would be better to take control early and develop the planting potential of Jingchu Land in advance.
It just so happened that with the warlord separatism and Jianghu disputes, many refugees appeared in the hinterland of the Central Plains and the Jianghuai region, and it was absolutely suitable to resettle them there.
As for the aristocratic families in the land of Jingchu, they didn't take it to heart at all.
When the Wagang model village community system spreads and has a firm foundation, as well as the fierce martial arts, it will definitely disintegrate the local aristocratic families.
Wu Dong was in pretty good shape at this time, and he focused entirely on pondering and studying his own martial arts.
Ever since he accidentally entered the state of perfect elixir energy and opened the gate of immortality through it, everything has been different.
Not to mention anything else, the fairy spirit escaping from the fairy gate helped many Wagang warriors present at the time and improved their cultivation a lot in a short period of time.
Among the dozen or so super-powerful people who suddenly appeared, they were all included.
For Wu Dong, with the experience of reaching the perfect level of alchemy once, and taking advantage of the trend to open the Immortal Sect once, he can achieve it twice, three times and more times.
Don't doubt his cultivation and subtle control over himself.
Right now, it is about coordinating the power of the soul and the dynamic balance of the body to reach a perfect state, so that you can enter that special realm again.
In that magical situation, Wu Dong noticed some special clues.
He is confident that even if he does not frequently open the Immortal Sect for safety reasons, he still has ways and means to rapidly improve the strength of his subordinates, thereby quickly raising the level of martial arts in the entire world.
In this process, the entire Tang Dynasty Shuanglong world will naturally change accordingly.
Of course, with the strength of the Wagang Army, the surrounding forces are feeling great pressure.
They didn't want to directly confront the Wagang Army, but they had other ways to improve their strength.
Soon, Wu Dong heard the news that many foreigners came to the rural areas in the core area, and they all wanted to send their children to basic schools for urban advancement...
Ahem, I'm so lazy that I don't even want to code anymore.
