Chapter 302: The Thirty-Sixth End of the Battle of Miefeng
After the two seniors Wan Xin and Wan Chong left, Li Zhen took charge of the front line of the Demon Sect and did not rush to take advantage of the chaos within the Zhengzhen Sect to add insult to injury and deliver a fatal blow.
He first ordered the Demon Cult troops to assemble, and then began to divide the territory.
The Demon Sect has conquered the entire northeastern region of Dafeng Kingdom, one-third of the area of Dafeng Kingdom. Li Zhen plans to directly bring this territory under the Demon Sect. As for how to divide it specifically, Li Zhen does not need to do this.
Don't worry about it, just let Ouyang Feng handle it.
Since Ouyang Feng became the leader, he has done an excellent job in maintaining the relationship between the three factions. It is indeed very suitable for him to be the leader.
The territory conquered by the Kingdom of China is naturally controlled by the imperial court. Of course, since the Demon Sect has taken refuge in the Kingdom of China, the real control of the territory must also be in the hands of the imperial court, but the necessary division of forces still needs to be done.
The Zhengzhen sect now still controls another third of the land of Dafeng country, and Li Zhen plans to use this as a bargaining chip to persuade the Zhengzhen sect to surrender.
Today's Zhengzhen Sect has lost three supreme elders and is in chaos internally. If it continues to fight Li Zhen, it will be destroyed sooner or later. As long as those in power are still clear-headed, they will definitely not fight to the end. Besides, Jinxia Boy
Before leaving, it had been announced that the Zhengzhen Sect had been expelled from the Taiyi Sect system. Without the support of this powerful backstage, it was meaningless for the Zhengzhen Sect to continue struggling.
Li Zhen was going to persuade Zheng Zhen to surrender when Zhengzhen was about to send internal affairs to deal with it.
Yun Linglong was in a very low mood after learning that her master was actually murdered. She felt resentful of her own incompetence and regretful that she could not avenge herself. As a disciple, she enjoyed all the benefits given by her master, but she failed to do anything for him.
, very ashamed of this.
Li Zhen didn't bother Yun Linglong these days. This kind of thing needs to be thought out by oneself. Others' persuasion sometimes backfires.
Seven days later, Li Zhen took Yun Linglong and a few others to the Zhengzhen sect to personally persuade them to surrender.
The Ghost Ancestor has not returned since the last time he left for the Ghost Demon Sect. Li Zhen is really not used to not having this old flatterer by his side. After all, the Ghost Ancestor has been waiting by his side since he surrendered. Li Zhen is sincere.
I hope the ghost ancestor can
It is enough to rely on the memory fragments of the founder of the Ghost Demon Sect to gain something in the Ghost Demon Sect. Nowadays, there are more and more masters under him, but he still likes to use the old man. In addition to having long contact time and knowing the basics, more importantly, using
of ease.
For example, Ancestor Ghost Ghost understood some things that were not convenient for Li Zhen to disclose to the public and did them very well.
At this time, the ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect successfully opened the forbidden area in the back mountain by relying on the memory of his ancestor, and is receiving the inheritance from the founding ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect. Once he has mastered it, his cultivation level will surely improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
Li Zhen didn't know about these things for the time being. On the way to the Zhengzhen sect with his troops, he suddenly remembered something and said to Furukawa and Lan Shu, the masters of Beiyi who were accompanying him: "That Jiu is the number one casual cultivator in Dafeng country?"
Hua Sanren, you should be very familiar with it."
Master Beiyi and Lan Shu nodded and said, "The friendship is not very deep, but we have known each other for hundreds of years."
"In this case, you two should not follow me to the Zhengzhen sect. Instead, go and see Jiuhua Sanren. Tell him that he will take the lead in leading the Sanxiu community to surrender to the Hua Kingdom. Unless necessary, you must obey the imperial court's orders.
In addition, they still let them live a happy and happy life at other times."
Li Zhen began to integrate any power he could get his hands on.
"Your Majesty! It's probably not easy to ask casual cultivators to submit to the imperial court. If they didn't like to live a happy life, those casual cultivators above the realm would have chosen to join the sect."
Master Beiyi opened his mouth to explain.
Li Zhen's task is indeed difficult.
Li Zhen raised his brows and said with a smile: "I did say before that as long as they know the current affairs, they can do nothing. But today is different from the past. Both the Dafeng Kingdom and the Zhengzhen Sect are finished. They only need to know the current affairs.
They will definitely submit to China. Of course, Jun Wuji said, if they are determined not to submit to the imperial court, it doesn't matter."
What Li Zhen did was actually a bit like casting a net for fishing. He could catch the best, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.
After Master Beiyi and Lan Shu understood Li Zhen's thoughts, they felt relieved. If they resolutely allowed the casual cultivators to submit to the imperial court, it would be even more stressful for them.
The two of them were ordered to say goodbye and leave, and Li Zhen and others arrived at the gate of the Zhengzhen sect of Qingliang Mountain on the morning of the next day.
The Zhengzhen Sect is currently purging the elders within the sect, and is heavily guarded. There are many disciples guarding the mountain gate. The appearance of Li Zhen and others immediately aroused their vigilance, but when they saw Yun Linglong, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Disciple, please see my junior sister-in-law!"
"Disciple, please see my junior sister-in-law!"
"………………"
Seeing that the mountain gate was heavily guarded, Yun Linglong knew that the situation inside the gate was definitely not optimistic, so she said, "Go and report to the head brother, and tell the king of China to pay homage to the mountain."
The news that Yun Linglong had been kidnapped by Li Zhen had spread. She suddenly returned home and was accompanied by several strangers. Just when she was confused, Yun Linglong's words made her originally relaxed nerves tense again.
The king of China is here!
It's just that Yun Linglong used the words very well. The word "worship the mountain" means visiting as a junior.
"What are you doing standing still? Go quickly!"
Yun Linglong saw that her disciples were facing formidable enemies, so she scolded them displeasedly.
The disciples reacted and arranged for someone to report it quickly.
At this time, within the Zhengzhen Sect, the elder system has been completely destroyed. The leader, Master Yulang, has shown unprecedented ruthlessness. Although the two supreme elders at the peak of the Golden Core Realm and Master Yuluan are not directly involved,
But he was also an indirect participant. He gave up his cultivation, spared his life, and drove him out of the sect. The other members of the elder family were demoted and punished, and they completely lost their right to speak in the sect. Some of them were even given serious punishment.
Imprisoned for punishment.
Nowadays, Master Yulang can be considered to be truly powerful, but after he got the power, he couldn't be happy no matter what.
The tragic death of his master, the turmoil in the sect, and the eyeing of powerful enemies all indirectly and directly proved his incompetence.
Master Yulang has already expressed the intention of abdicating his position in favor of someone more worthy.
"Master!"
The disciples here are here to report.
"There is news from the mountain gate that the young master and the king of China are coming to pay homage to the mountain!"
Master Yulang was startled when he heard this.
"Junior sister is back?!"
Yun Linglong grew up in the Zhengzhen sect. All the senior brothers have treated Yun Linglong as their own child. Since she was kidnapped by Li Zhen, if the demon sect had not attacked her immediately, they would have found a way to kill the little junior sister.
Rescued.
"Tell your uncles and uncles the news and go together to greet Emperor Hua."
Master Yulang knew the purpose of Li Zhen's visit with his toes, and he had already considered this matter and had already made preparations.
Half an hour later, the Zhengzhen sect's mountain gate opened wide, and the leader, Yulangzhenren, led more than a dozen new powerful elders to greet Emperor Hua.
Although Yun Linglong said she would pay homage to the mountain, the Zhengzhen sect could not really receive her with the ceremonial etiquette of paying homage to the mountain.
"Big brother!"
After a long time, Yun Linglong saw her senior brothers again. She was very excited and hurried forward to say hello.
All the senior brothers were very happy to see that Yun Linglong was safe and sound. After a brief exchange with each other, Master Yulang looked at Li Zhen and stepped forward and said: "Yu Lang, the leader of the Zhengzhen Sect, has met Emperor Hua!"
"The one who came here this time is not the king of China, but the junior Li Zhen, who is also Linglong's husband."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Zhengzhen Sect was shocked. At the same time, they looked at Yun Linglong. When Yun Linglong saw this, she was immediately embarrassed. She did not expect that Li Zhen would say this.
When Master Yulang and other elders saw Yun Linglong's expression, they knew that the matter between the two of them must have been between you and me. Everyone present was mature. If you couldn't see this, wouldn't your life be in vain? In this case, what happened before?
The kidnapping was probably planned and premeditated.
"Haha! No matter who you are, we are all genuine distinguished guests. Please come in!"
Master Yulang quickly came to his senses and stretched out his hand to invite you.
Li Zhen and others entered the Zhengzhen sect for the second time under the guidance of Master Yulang.
The last time I was sneaky like a thief, this time I was honest.
Everyone came to the main hall of the Zhengzhen sect, and the crowd was waiting to leave. Master Yulang was the first to speak: "I'm afraid Emperor Hua's visit is not as simple as paying homage to the mountain, right?"
"That's right! I'm accompanying Linglong here this time. Firstly, I want to meet the elders. After all, it was too presumptuous to kidnap Linglong before. Secondly, I want to talk about family matters with the elders."
Li Zhen's words once again made everyone present sigh.
The word 'family affairs' suddenly minimized the conflict between the two forces, and at the same time, the things that the Zhengzhen faction had been worrying about seemed to be forgotten.
"As long as Linglong is willing, we old guys have no objection."
Master Yulang responded, when Yun Linglong heard this, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at the senior brothers, feeling very ashamed.
"It's just the family affairs that Emperor Hua mentioned. What kind of family affairs are they talking about?"
Li Zhen took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said: "Although Linglong and I haven't held a wedding yet, since the elders have no objections, we can be considered a family. Since we are a family, if there were conflicts and unhappiness before, we will
It can be solved by doing housework."
"This junior has arrived at the precious land for the first time. I hope that the elders can provide support and advice in the future."
Upon hearing this, Master Yulang looked at the other brothers and saw that they were following his lead, and said: "Since we are a family, of course we must support it."
Yun Linglong looked stunned, looked at the senior brothers, stood up and saluted, "Little junior sister, thank you all!"
The matter of persuading the Zhengzhen sect to surrender was thus settled as a family matter.
No one on either side mentioned the word "surrender", everything was left unspoken.
As the Zhengzhen Sect's natal family, Li Zhen will definitely not use too strong methods, especially since her senior brother is still in power now. Yun Linglong's opinions must be respected when dealing with the Zhengzhen Sect's affairs.
At the same time, Zhenzhen Shouyang, the first supreme elder of the Zhengzhen sect, who had been observing the situation in the meeting hall, shook his head and sighed: "It is difficult for such young people not to rise up!"
At this point, it has been more than two months since the war started, and Li Zhen has achieved his wish by taking over the Dafeng Kingdom, the Zhengzhen Sect and the Demon Sect!
···············································
······
After the war, Li Zhen was completely free, and the imperial court and Wanxian Pavilion began to get busy.
The imperial court was going to take over the affairs of the Dafeng Kingdom and the Three Kingdoms of Demon Cult. Although it would not replace all the ministers from the four kingdoms, it still had to assign ministers from the Chinese Kingdom. This was quite rare for the imperial court. The most fundamental point was that there were not so many officials.
Since Li Zhen ascended the throne, the territory of China has expanded too fast. As early as in the Nanping Domain, the officials of China were not enough. Now that Dafeng Kingdom and the Three Kingdoms of Demon Sect have been added, the officials are even more urgent.
Regarding these, Li Zhen also knew the difficulties faced by the court, but his Uncle Zhang, the chief minister of China, would help him solve them.
The problem of Wanxian Pavilion is much easier than that of the imperial court. They only need to absorb various sects. The only issue they have to worry about is the selection. After all, not everyone can enter Wanxian Pavilion to be an elder or worship.
On this point, Wanxian Pavilion is very strict.
It is worth mentioning that Jiuhua Sanren agreed to join Wanxian Pavilion after receiving invitations from Master Beiyi and Lan Shu, and also personally lobbied the masters of Sanxian Cultivators to join. In the end, all the Sanren Cultivators agreed to join Wanxian Pavilion.
.
In this way, Wanxian Pavilion gained a lot of strength, which made Li Zhen very happy.
The power of the casual cultivators cannot be ignored. With the participation of the casual cultivators, Li Zhen has integrated all the power of the cultivators under his command into the Wanxian Pavilion.
In the back garden of the former Imperial City of Dafeng Kingdom, Li Zhen and Yun Linglong were walking alone in the garden.
Although Li Zhen didn't have to worry about the affairs of the imperial court and Wanxian Pavilion, he wanted to start another matter in advance.
Li Zhen wants to marry Yun Linglong in advance!
According to Li Zhen's original intention, he planned to get married after he unified the Taiping Territory, but as he got along with Yun Linglong day by day, he couldn't wait any longer.
"Linglong! I was thinking how about our wedding be held at the end of this year?"
Li Zhen suddenly spoke.
A moment ago, they were talking about how to expand the palace and modify it, but marriage was suddenly mentioned, catching Yun Linglong off guard.
Yun Linglong usually behaves dignified and generous, and acts decisively, but when it comes to marriage, she immediately becomes nervous and doesn't know what to say.
"I don't mean to treat Yitong Tai well..."
Yun Linglong said softly, but unfortunately before she could finish her words, Li Zhen took her slender hand and said: "Before was before, now is now, I can't wait any longer."
As soon as these words came out, Yun Linglong was even more embarrassed. Seeing that Yun Linglong didn't respond, Li Zhen smiled and said: "If you don't say anything, then I'll take it as your consent. I'll let Uncle Zhang start planning the wedding."
"When did I say yes?!"
Yun Linglong quickly argued.
"You didn't say you agreed, but you didn't say you disagreed either?"
Li Zhen smiled.
When Yun Linglong saw Li Zhen playing word games with her, she glared at him fiercely.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhen held her in his arms and said solemnly: "I will definitely prepare the most grand and gorgeous wedding for you, which will be envied by all the women in the world."
Hearing this, Yun Linglong fell into Li Zhen's embrace.
