Lu Ning looked back and saw Shen Bichuan, who was lying on the ground, turning around indifferently.
"The Shen family is broken up!"
"It's my lord!"
Lin Jian responded and took Gu Wushuang, Pei Tianbei and others to seal down the Shen family. As for Shen Bichuan, he was directly captured and then dismissed the other members of the Shen family.
The two third-grade experts hired by the Shen family quietly left after seeing that the Shen family's situation was over.
In Anzhou City, when other wealthy families heard that the Shen family had been expelled by the imperial court, the heads of the wealthy families came to Lu Ning one after another with people and money, threatening to donate half of the family's assets to the imperial court.
Lu Ning's face was expressionless: "If Shen Bichuan had this awareness, the Shen family would not have ended up like this."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
July 12th.
Experience: 623.2 million points.
The Shen family was sealed and the Shen family members were dismissed. The princess who was a cousin to Shen Bichuan did not show up at all.
Thinking about it, the princess's cousin is buried up to her waist in loess. She can only take care of herself, so how can she have the energy to take care of Shen Bichuan.
Within three days, all the families in Anzhou City, large and small, expressed their support for the empress to govern the world, and were willing to donate half of their family assets to the court to replenish the national treasury.
In this regard, Lu Ning accepted them all, but instead of transporting the materials donated by the major families back to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty, he established a material supply station in Anzhou.
The site is personally supervised by the Anzhou Prefect, and is supervised by the Zhenmo Division.
Every year, major families donate food, gold, silver, jewelry and other materials they obtain to prepare for emergencies.
As for the supply station, it is recognized by many wealthy families. After all, it is set up in Anzhou, and the final materials are still circulated in Anzhou. The purpose is that if there is unrest in Anzhou, the court no longer needs to collect supplies from wealthy families and merchants.
It is enough to directly use the materials in the supply station.
After finishing all this, it was already evening.
Lu Ning originally wanted to take Lin Jian and others straight to the Killing Path, the Bliss Sect, and the two first-class sects in Anzhou, but after thinking about it, he decided to rest for the night.
July 13th.
Experience: 638 million points.
There are still 120 million experience points left before being promoted to the second stage. If there is no unexpected gain, it will take eight days to accumulate 750 million experience points.
"The Way of Killing!"
Sitting on the dark horse, Lu Ning said with a frown.
The first sect in Anzhou is Xuannv Palace, followed by Shashengdao and Paradise Sect.
The Road of Killing is located at the edge of Anzhou and Youzhou. There is a misty valley in a deep valley, which is the lair of the Road of Killing.
Three and a half hours later, Lu Ning and others stayed outside the valley of the Killing Path, looking at the scenery in the valley. It was hazy, and the naked eyes could not see the scenery clearly.
But his spiritual consciousness could. Lu Ning urged his spiritual consciousness to sweep through the valley. There were many strange rocks and few trees in the valley.
Immediately he rode towards the deep valley, and in a moment he arrived in front of the mountain gate of the Way of Killing. There stood an irregular stone with three big blood-red characters on it: Way of Killing.
Next to the big stone on the path of killing, there was a blind old man sitting.
The old man's clothes were not too bad. He was holding a crutch in his arms and leaning on the big rock. The blind man was indifferent to the arrival of Lu Ning and others.
Lin Jian frowned and said, "Sir, there seems to be no one in the killing path."
Lu Ning said: "It doesn't seem like it, but there's just no one there."
After the voice fell, he looked at the blind man and said, "Where have all the people in the killing path gone?"
The blind man tightened the crutch in his arms and said, "I heard that the imperial army came to clear out the way of killing, and the sect master and his disciples all fled for their lives."
"Now, there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the sect."
Hearing this, a cold look flashed in Lu Ning's eyes, and he asked Lin Jian and others to enter the killing path to investigate carefully.
Half an hour later.
Everyone moved out a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and some grain and grass supplies from the inventory of the Killing Path.
When the Taoist Master of Killing Life and his disciples fled for their lives, they should have taken away a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but there was still a lot left behind.
Lu Ning asked people to sort out these things and take them all away when he leaves later.
As for the stones of the Killing Path, they were cut in half by Lu Ning with one strike. Some of the stone chambers in the palaces in the valley were also destroyed by Lin Jian and others.
As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, they were all murderous people in the past.
Lu Ning did not care about their life or death, and asked Lin Jian and others to transport all gold, silver, jewelry, grain, grass and other materials to the supply station.
Of course, at night, Lu Ning led everyone and went straight to the Bliss Sect.
The Path of Killing has all escaped, and the Bliss Sect may have also escaped.
Ji Le Sect is located at the junction of Anzhou and Qingzhou. It is built according to the mountains and rivers. The mountain is called Ji Le Mountain.
There are palaces and pavilions on the mountain, colorful ribbons fluttering, and a dizzying atmosphere everywhere.
"My lord, they all escaped!" Lin Jian said with a frown.
The Paradise Sect's escape was cleaner than the way of killing, not even a single human hair existed.
Lu Ning sat on the black horse and said coldly: "From tonight onwards, there will be no Bliss Sect or Slaughter Sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyone who encounters the two sects will be killed without further ado."
"It's my lord!" Lin Jian and others took the order.
"burn!"
Lu Ning said with a cold eyebrow.
Lin Jian and his men quickly rushed into the Paradise Sect and began to set fire to the sect.
Everyone has fled, so there is no need for the sect to stay.
"who?"
Lin Jian raised his eyebrows, rushed into the fire, and caught a little girl with a black face in the sea of fire.
Lu Ning and others looked over and saw that the little girl was timidly hiding behind Lin Jian, not daring to look at everyone.
Lin Jian squatted down, looked at the dirty little girl and said, "Who trapped you on the stool?"
The little girl was about to cry and said: "Yes, she is the bad woman who captured me."
Lin Jian looked back at Lu Ning and continued to interrogate.
Soon, Lu Ning and others learned that the Paradise Sect captured some little girls from the countryside every three years for cultivation.
It’s not just girls, there are boys too, but the number is relatively smaller than that of girls.
The little girl in front of her was not only timid but also unwilling to join the Paradise Sect. When the patriarch and disciples of the Paradise Sect left, they did not take her away, but tied her up here to prepare to starve to death.
After hearing this, Lu Ning drew out his Donglei Sword and slashed the Bliss Mountain with one blow.
Boom!
A sound like rolling thunder resounded through the night sky.
Lin Jian and others looked at it with shocked expressions. They saw that the Paradise Mountain was split into two halves diagonally by Lu Ning, and half of the top of the mountain slid directly into the valley, burying the palace of the Paradise Sect.
The little girl standing next to Lin Jian was also deeply shocked by the scene in front of her, her big black eyes staring at the Paradise Mountain.
Maybe she didn't understand why this big brother could split the mountain with one knife?
"Go back!" Lu Ning frowned.
Lin Jian and others took the gold, silver, treasures and grain and grass supplies they had found from the Paradise Sect and transported them all back to the supply depot.
July 14th.
Early in the morning, Lu Ning and others rushed to Anzhou after a long journey. After putting away gold, silver, treasures, grain and other supplies, they found Luo Yongpei, the prefect of Anzhou, and began to issue a "Demon Suppression Order", which was actually a wanted order.
Regardless of whether it is the Demon Suppressing Division, the government, a sect, or an individual, whoever catches the disciples of the Slaughterer and the Bliss Sect will be rewarded with a certain amount of gold and silver.
Catching the Taoist Master of Killing Life and the Master of Bliss is another bounty price.
After this demon-suppressing order spread in Anzhou, whether it was the government, some famous sects, or individual masters, they began to pursue the killing method. The disciples or the masters of the Paradise Sect planned to go to Anzhou Mansion to receive the reward.
"I'm not afraid of you escaping. If you do, I'll give you no place to live in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Lu Ning said coldly, then sat on the black horse and headed to Xuannv Palace.
Anzhou, to the west.
A mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist all year round is called the Xuanyun Mountains.
The main peak of Xuanyun Mountain Range is Xuannv Peak.
On Xuannv Peak, there is Xuannv Palace, one of the five major immortal sects in the world.
Since the sect was founded, it has a history of five thousand years and has always recruited female disciples.
Xuannv Peak is relatively steep and cannot be climbed on horseback.
Lu Ning dismounted directly and flew up to Xuannv Peak with Lin Jian and others.
On Xuannv Peak.
The new palace master of Xuannv Palace, Yue Qingshu, and the core disciples of Xuannv Palace came forward to salute.
"Xuannu Palace, Yue Qingshu, pays homage to Lord Sizheng."
Lu Ning frowned and looked at her. Yue Qingshu looked like she was in her mid-twenties. She was not considered a beauty, but her skin was like cream and her temperament was outstanding, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Wearing a white Xuannv jade dress, tightly wrapped around her proud chest, and tied with a ribbon, she outlined her charming figure.
Lu Ning looked Yue Qingshu up and down. This woman looked young, but her cultivation was at the early stage of the second level. She must be quite young, and she relied on the Zhuyan Pill to maintain her youthful appearance.
"Lord Si Zheng, please come inside."
Yue Qingshu saw Lu Ning staring at her with a cold expression on her face. Lu Ning killed her senior sister. Not only was she unable to avenge her, but she was also unwilling to become the enemy of the Demon Suppressor.
After all, there are more than 60,000 people in the Demon Suppressing Division, and among the second-level masters alone, she knows that there are three of them. Counting Chen Tianqi from Tianlao, there are four of them.
Today's Demon Suppression Division is much scarier than when Gu Fengtang was in office.
Especially the young demon-suppressing master in front of him is invincible at the first level.
Currently, she is the strongest in Xuannv Palace. There are only five people with third-grade cultivation left. The other disciples are all with third-grade or lower cultivation. Although there are ten thousand people, what is the use?
In Xuannv Hall, Yue Qingshu asked people to serve tea to Lu Ning.
"Master Si Zheng, my senior sister Si Shangyi has been rectified by you personally. The disciples who followed her also had no choice but to do so."
"Now Xuannv Palace is in charge of me, Yue Qingshu. I am willing to submit to the imperial court and pay tribute every year. I also hope that Sir Sizheng can give Xuannv Palace a way out."
Lu Ning stared outside the hall with a sullen brow, looking at the mist-shrouded mountain peaks. He said with a sullen brow: "Xuannv Palace, one of the Great Immortal Sects of Great Friday, has a respected status, but it is really stupid to support King Yongshan's rebellion."
"Looking at Si Shangyi's death and your sincere attitude, Xuannv Palace is still one of the five great immortal sects."
"Otherwise, even if your junior uncle who has not returned from his travels is here, I will remove your Xuannv Palace from the five major immortal sects."
Yue Qingshu lowered her head slightly and said nothing. Speaking of which, the young uncle has been traveling for hundreds of years and has not returned yet. Who knows if he is still alive?
The current situation in Xuannv Palace is that it can only bow its head to the court and develop and grow in secret.
If one day, a super first-level powerhouse appears in Xuannv Palace, he can ignore the court.
"In July every year, you can go to the palace to meet the saint, and you can be exempted from it for ten consecutive years."
Lu Ning stood up, looked at Yue Qingshu and said.
Hearing this, Yue Qingshu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Lord Sizheng."
When Lu Ning saw Yue Qingshu nodding, he did not stay any longer. He took Lin Jian and others to take a look at Xuannv Peak and the surrounding peaks, and then headed down the mountain.
…
In the Xuanyun Mountains.
Lu Ning rode a black horse, followed by Lin Jian and others.
Lin Jian smiled and said: "On the Great Friday, the overall strength of the Great Immortal Sect is that Xuannv Palace and Ziyang Sect are the weakest. Xuannv Palace has a first-class strongman who has not returned from traveling, but Ziyang Sect does not. In the end,
It’s not as strong as the second-grade perfection.”
Pei Tianbei answered: "Master Lin, the junior uncle of Xuannv Palace, has been traveling for hundreds of years and has not returned yet. Maybe something happened long ago."
Lin Jiandao: "Who knows? If anything happens, Xuannv Palace knows best."
Gu Wushuang glanced at the two of them, then ran after Lu Ning and said, "Sir, where are we going next?"
Lu Ning stared at the east and said: "The monsters in the East China Sea are overflowing, and we need to suppress them."
He and his people chose to come to Anzhou with the purpose of suppressing the problem of demons in the East China Sea, otherwise they would have to travel back and forth, which would be too much of a delay.
"Let's go, Donghai City."
Lu Ning turned back to glance at Lin Jian, Pei Tianbei and others, and then rode towards the east.
The next day.
July 15th.
Experience: 667.6 million points.
Donghai City.
The easternmost city in Anzhou is also one of the five largest cities in Beijing. It is very prosperous and lively.
Previously, Lu Ning asked the son of Zhendong Marquis to guard Donghai City with a hundred thousand cavalry.
Although Donghai City is not as good as Jingzhou City, it still has a permanent population of more than 300 million.
Recently, there has been a demon attack in the East China Sea. Fewer people have gone out of the city to fish in the sea. Many people have been hiding in the city, so the city has become busier than usual.
After Lu Ning and others entered the city, they went straight to the command camp.
"General Tang Xian, please pay homage to the marshal."
A burly man in his forties brought Peng Ying, Hong Dajiang and other generals to Lu Ning and bowed before him.
Tang Xian is the son of Zhendong Marquis Tang Huaiyi. He is not very strong and is at the peak of the fourth rank.
Lu Ning waved his hand, looked at Tang Xian and said, "What is the current situation of the demon in the East China Sea?"
Tang Xian took a deep breath and said: "Coming back to Marshal, the demons in the East China Sea are mainly caused by the black dragon clan, but the other demon clans are silent."
Lu Ning's eyes darkened. It seemed that he had killed the Black Dragon King. The Black Dragon clan took revenge on humans and killed the fishermen who went fishing in the sea.
"Didn't you say that there are people from the Hai tribe in the East China Sea?"
"Yes, Marshal."
"Are the Black Dragon Clan also controlled by the Sea Clan?"
Tang Xian nodded and said: "Marshal, that's the Sea Clan member, leading the Black Dragon Clan to avenge the Black Dragon Emperor. Now the fishermen in the city will be hunted as long as they go into the sea."
"You also know that the coastal residents make a living by fishing. If they are not allowed to fish, they will lose their lives. The Hai tribe people lead the Black Dragon Emperor to haunt the East China Sea and hunt down fishermen when they see them."
"More than 3,000 people have died so far."
"The general led his men and fought against the Hai clan people several times, but they failed to gain any advantage."
"The leader of the Hai tribe threatened to kill everyone in Zhou Dynasty to avenge the Black Dragon Emperor."
Lu Ning nodded secretly and said: "The people of the Hai tribe can speak the same language as us?"
"Intercommunication."
"How many sea tribesmen and black dragons are there?"
"There are three people on a black dragon, a total of 3,000 black dragons and 9,000 people from the Hai tribe. The number is not a big concern. It is mainly at sea, which is not conducive to our fighting."
Tang Xian said bitterly.
Lu Ning nodded and said, "Will the people from the Hai tribe come out today?"
Tang Xian said: "They come every day."
Lu Ning said: "Take a rest and go to the beach later."
Tang Xian nodded and said: "Marshal, please rest first, and then go prepare the crossbow."
Lu Ning nodded, looked at Tang Xian who turned around and suddenly asked: "There is a six-legged turtle in the East China Sea, have you seen it?"
Hearing this, Tang Xian blinked his eyes and said: "Marshal, there is indeed a kind of turtle with six legs in the East China Sea, but they live in the deep sea east of Turtle Man Island all year round and rarely come out."
Lu Ning frowned: "Where is Turtle Man Island?"
Tang Xian said: "Turtleman Island is a larger island in the East China Sea. There is a kind of human race living on it, the kind of people who carry turtle shells on their backs."
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" Lu Ning's eyes flashed.
Tang Xian didn't know what Lu Ning was talking about, so he immediately said: "I have never been to Turtle Man Island, but some people call it a ghost island, saying that it is full of evil spirits. The specific situation is unclear."
Lu Ning nodded and came to the East China Sea. He suddenly thought of the six-legged turtle that the empress had painted in the prison before, and asked, but he didn't expect that the six-legged turtle was hidden so deep.
After Tang Xian led the people away, an egg-sized turquoise crystal bead appeared in Lu Ning's palm, exuding a green light.
This crystal bead is exactly the water-proof bead that Lu Ning was rewarded by the Heavenly Punishment Illustrated Book when he killed the three-headed snake demon soul in Yan Chang's body.
It's also a Xuanpin water-repelling spirit bead, it should be easy to use.
After looking at it twice, Lu Ning stuffed the water-avoiding spirit bead into his arms, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the main hall.
Lin Jian and others went to collect the situation and returned quickly, reporting in Lu Ning's ear.
It's basically the same as what Tang Xian said.
"Which of you knows more about the Hai Clan people?" Lu Ning asked, looking at Lin Jian and others.
Instead, Gu Wushuang said: "Sir, the Sea people have existed for five thousand years. According to historical records, the first batch of Sea people fled to the sea to escape the chaos of war on the mainland. They evolved and changed over the years and adapted to the sea.
, including slowly being able to communicate with monsters in the sea, which means they have mastered the language of beasts."
Beast control?
A word flashed in Lu Ning's mind, mastering beast language and controlling monsters, isn't this a beast master?
"Then how many human beings hid in the sea?" Lu Ning asked with a frown.
Gu Wushuang shook his head and said: "I don't know, but historical records show that two thousand years later, a human city appeared on the bottom of the sea. Even if there were not many people at the beginning, after two thousand years of reproduction, there are probably tens of millions of people instead of hundreds of millions."
"What's more, after another three thousand years, there should be over 100 million people in the Hai tribe."
Hearing this, Lu Ning frowned slightly, saying that the people of the Hai Clan are indeed very scary.
After all, they master the language of beasts and can communicate with sea beasts who cannot speak, and can even communicate with some monsters on the mainland.
If we organize an army of beast masters, wouldn't it mean that we can conquer both land and sea?
After pondering for a while, Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "Hai tribe people must have big enemies when they survive in the sea, right?"
Gu Wushuang nodded and said with a smile: "You are really smart, you are indeed."
Lu Ning glanced at Gu Wushuang angrily, how should he talk to this officer?
Now that I am in charge and you are in charge, how dare you be dishonest?
"Tell me."
Gu Wushuang didn't pay attention to Lu Ning's eyes and said: "The natural enemy of the Hai people is the black bird, but this black bird is a divine beast, extremely mysterious. Although it exists, it cannot be found. Only when it should appear, it
It just showed up.”
"Xuanniao?"
Lu Ning frowned slightly, wasn't it Xuanniao who gave the empress a love dagger?
But the black bird that Gu Wushuang said is a spiritual bird, and it should exist specifically to restrain black dragons and other sea monsters.
"If you say it, it means you haven't said it yet."
Lu Ning glanced at Gu Wushuang angrily.
Gu Wushuang said indifferently: "It doesn't count. At least the sea people don't dare to control the sea beasts to attack the land."
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Listen to your words, has Black Bird attacked the Hai Tribe people before?"
Gu Wushuang nodded: "The most recent time was a thousand years ago, during the Troubled Times, when the Sea Clan people controlled sea beasts to attack land cities on a large scale. A black bird appeared between heaven and earth, and single-handedly defeated the Sea Clan."
"Haven't you heard of it?"
Lu Ning pouted and said, "How could I know about something that happened so long ago?"
At this time, Tang Xian came with Peng Ying, Hong Dajiang and other generals and three thousand crossbowmen.
Lu Ning glanced at Peng Ying and said, "Meijiang Perak Hall, Peng Hu, your eldest brother?"
Peng Ying's eyes flashed, and he quickly dismounted and said, "Come back to Marshal, no, I don't know Peng Hu."
Lu Ning nodded: "Then it has nothing to do with you, get on your horse and get ready to go."
"It's Marshal." Peng Ying nodded.
Lu Ning also got on his horse with Lin Jian and others, and bolted towards the outside of the command camp.
Half an hour.
Lu Ning, Tang Xian and more than 3,000 people came to the coast of Donghai City.
About three miles away from the sea, there are soldiers guarding it to prevent the fishermen in the city from going to the sea. It is also to prevent the Hai tribe from attacking Donghai City.
Lu Ning glanced at the soldiers and said with a deep eyebrow, "Why not build another high wall outside the city wall?"
Hearing this, Tang Xian was slightly startled: "Marshal, you can, but it will cost a lot."
Lu Ning shook his head secretly: "How much gold and silver does it consume? Building an extra city wall will make Donghai City safer, so which one is more important, gold and silver, or life?"
Tang Xian was speechless.
Lu Ning didn't mean to blame him, and said: "I will ask Anzhou Prefect Luo Yongpei to personally supervise this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."
"It's the marshal." Tang Xian nodded.
moment.
Lu Ning took the lead and appeared at the edge of the beach about 300 meters away from the sea. Behind him were Lin Jian and other hundred demon-suppressing men, as well as three thousand cavalry.
After passing a cup of tea, I saw not a single sea tribesman or black dragon on the blue sea, but the wind was strong, sweeping the waves.
Lu Ning activated the Eye of Qi, but he didn't notice it. He wondered if the level of the Eye of Qi was a bit low.
Immediately, his eyebrows moved, a red golden light emitted, and an eyeball the size of a dragon's eye appeared in Lu Ning's eyebrows.
The eyeballs were golden on the outside and red on the inside, with golden thunder and lightning flashing. They were the fusion of thunder eye relics and vampire eyes. Lu Ning had never used it before, and this was the first time he used it.
At a glance, under the rolling sea surface, there were three thousand black dragons lurking, with three men wearing dark armor riding on top of the black dragons.
Their skin was white, as if they had been soaked in sea water.
Her hair is about the same color as the sea, and she holds a trident in her hand.
It was a member of the Hai tribe, his eyes shining with dark blue light.
After just one glance, Lu Ning closed his eyebrows and pupils. The pupils are easy to use, but they are located between the eyebrows, which makes people look a little weird.
It would be great if it could be transferred to his left eye or right eye.
Damn it!
As soon as the idea came to his mind, Lu Ning suddenly noticed something was wrong with his left eye. It was stabbing and painful, and it felt like his eyeball was about to burst.
Immediately he couldn't help but cover his left eye and made a deep sound from his mouth.
"marshal!"
"grown ups!"
Tang Xian, Lin Jian and others were startled when they saw something unusual about Lu Ning, and rushed to Lu Ning one after another.
"do not come!"
Lu Ning couldn't help but raise his right hand and told everyone to retreat.
