The Kingdom of Wei is located at the southwest end of Nanzhou. It is 80,000 miles to the west from the Kingdom of Cang. Although the Kingdom of Wei is a country that cultivates immortals, it is extremely weak. There are less than 50,000 monks in the territory, and the territory is only the Kingdom of Lu.
One-fifth of the size, apart from the presence of the Lingguang Ancestor, the overall strength is only three-thirds stronger than Tianyun State.
The Wei Kingdom was founded not long ago, only about 500 years ago. Its founder was none other than the current royal family, the Wei family. It was the ancestor of the Wei family who led the Wei family to struggle for hundreds of years to achieve today's situation.
It's a pity that the ancestor of the Wei family failed to break through the Shenxu stage, and his lifespan is almost gone. The next generation has not trained any new spiritual monks. It is still unknown how long Guo Zuo will be.
The capital of the Wei Kingdom is called Changliu City. Thousands of monks and 600,000 mortals live in it. It is the most prosperous city in the Wei Kingdom. Less than a thousand miles away from Changliu City, there is a wilderness area with towering vegetation, cut off roads, wild beasts and monsters.
There are so many beasts that even low-level monks, let alone mortals, dare not go very far.
In addition to the Wei family, the Wei Kingdom has hundreds of sects and families spread across the wilderness. They rely on Lingshan to survive tenaciously. However, the strength of these hundreds of sects and families is extremely weak. There is one in the clan.
The Zifu monks are considered a large sect, and most of them are just a group of pulse-condensing and pulse-opening monks occupying the first and second levels of Xiaoling Mountain.
It is precisely because of this living situation that Weiguo needs companies to organize caravans to communicate with each other, purchase the resources produced by hundreds of families, and bring them all kinds of daily necessities, so that these families and sects can survive.
In fact, the royal Wei family is a family of second-hand dealers.
After the founding of the Wei clan, their territory had left the wilderness frontier, and pioneering was too risky, so they relied on their own strength to organize businesses and earn profits by purchasing the products of various forces and trading in prosperous places.
In addition to the Wei family, there are many businesses in Weiguo, but most of these businesses are not strong, because powerful businesses simply cannot look down on a remote country like Weiguo, and their profits are not proportional to their investment.
However, in the past twenty years, many powerful businesses have gradually developed in Weiguo. These businesses have channels and backgrounds outside Weiguo. They can directly cross Changliu City and maximize profits. They have been crowded.
Many small businesses have collapsed, and there is a strong tendency to compete with the Wei family.
In a private room of a hotel in Changliu City, two monks were sitting opposite each other, with heavy expressions on their faces.
"Fire"
"I am, you are the Iron Lion"
After the two of them determined the password, the younger one spoke first.
"I am Iron Lion. Laochao sent me to join you. Liehuo, you have suffered. Where is the Eight-faced Fox?"
"The Eight-faced Fox is a better man than me. He has been reused by the Assassin God. His identity has been cleared. He has controlled a powerful family in Weiguo in the same way as Tao Dai Li Zhan. He has become the controller and is collecting resources for the Assassin God."
"Li Huo, you have submitted a report before, but it took a long time to go back and forth, and the secret text is not clear. Can you tell me again about the actions of stabbing the god before and after the beast tide?"
"Yes, the Assassin God Southern Zero Zero One planned the entire beast tide incident. The Assassin God originally planned to severely damage the four kingdoms of Cang, Chen, Lu, and Tian Eclipse, but I didn't expect that Chen Qingyang and Yun Qingfeng would be so extreme as to inflict serious damage by self-destruction.
He defeated the purple-eyed demon king who reached the sixth level, ended the beast tide ahead of schedule, and made the assassin god's plan fail.
At that time, we were controlled by the Thorn God in a formation that split the void, so no one could detect us. The thousands of casual cultivators who were swept away were also poisoned by the Alphabet of Life and Death Gu, controlled by the Thorn God.
After the beast tide ended, half of the casual cultivators were under the control of the Thorn God and fought for territory in the Chen Kingdom, while the remaining half were brought to the Wei Kingdom by people from the former Sihai Merchant Company.
After coming to Weiguo, Sihai Company supported the casual cultivators as puppets. In fact, the real people in charge were the people of Sihai Company. Sihai Company had been doing business in Tianyun Prefecture for decades, and its methods far exceeded the level of Weiguo. Therefore, even if
Split into more than a dozen companies, they still established themselves quickly.
BaMianHu and I were also reused at this time. Three years later, BaMianHu and I contacted each other. At that time, we didn’t know how many of our own people were alive, so..."
"Li Huo, you don't need to say more about this, Lao Chao believes in you."
"Yes, I continued. The Sihai Trading Company split into more than a dozen small firms and soon established themselves in the Wei Kingdom. Five years later, the assassin implemented a plan to steal the sky and change the sun. He used the firms to find out the details of the various families and sects in the Wei Kingdom, and then used them to
Infiltrate by visiting a guest, becoming a disciple, having a bride-in-law come to your door, being rescued unexpectedly, etc.
After these people have thoroughly figured out the strength of these families and sects, they will design to make the leaders of these forces have accidents, become obsessed, get injured while hunting, and use various methods, and then let the people who assassinate the gods control the forces because they have business names.
Support, so basically no one failed, and occasionally one or two were quickly silenced.
Nowadays, one-third of the sects and families in the Wei Kingdom are under the control of the Thorn God. Then these forces feed back those businesses, making them bigger and stronger, and have squeezed out a large number of the original indigenous businesses in the Wei Kingdom, except for the Wei family.
, 70% of Weiguo's business is under the control of the assassin god, and he has gained huge wealth for the assassin god, and his strength has also skyrocketed.
Nowadays, the power of the God of Thorns is as good as that of the Wei family. The only difference is that there is only one spiritual monk. However, the life span of the ancestor of the Wei family is already over 800 years old. Can he live for three to five years or seven or eight years?
No one knows, but it is certain that the ancestor of the Wei family will pass away in a few years.
The Thorn God is waiting for the ancestor of the Wei family to be enthroned, and I was also sent by the Thorn God to infiltrate Changliu City. The entire Changliu City is already under the close surveillance of the Thorn God. When the Wei family ancestor is enthroned, the Thorn God
He will completely replace the Wei family and take control of the entire Wei Kingdom."
Liehuo told everything he knew about the situation. This information was obtained by him and Bamenhu after combining it. It was precisely because they knew that the matter was of great importance that they urgently reported it to the sect, codenamed Lao Lao.
The sect sent an iron lion to join him.
"I already know the situation, but I also have a few questions to ask you."
"Excuse me"
"Do you know these people?"
Iron Lion took out a shadow talisman from his storage bag and opened it for Lie Huo to see.
"There are two people I know. They are Zifu monks from the indigenous families of Weiguo. They were captured by the Thorn God and disappeared. I don't know where they went. Maybe the Eight-faced Fox will know."
"It's okay, just ask."
Tie Shi said casually that the people on the shadow talisman were all newly emerged monks from the Zifu among the seven alliances in the south of Chen State. Tianyun State had been tracing the source, but nothing was found. It turned out that they were acting in self-defense.
country, no wonder it can’t be found.
The source of the reinforcements from the Seven Alliances has also been investigated clearly. Not surprisingly, they should be indigenous people or casual cultivators from the Wei Kingdom. They were controlled by the Thorn God and sent to the south of Chen State to enhance the strength of the Seven Alliances.
"One more thing, that is the ultimate goal of stabbing the god. Based on Laochao's analysis of Weiguo, although Weiguo is called a country, its strength is extremely weak, which also means that Weiguo's resources are too few, and the entire Weiguo is
A fourth-level spiritual vein is not comparable to Chen Guonan, nor is it comparable to Tianyun State.
So what Lao Chao wants to know is whether the Assassin God wants Wei Guo or Chen and Lu, and what kind of development direction he will have after replacing the Wei family."
"Iron Lion, I'm afraid I can't provide a professional answer to this question. My current status is only a middle-level employee, and only the Eight-faced Fox has contact with the top management."
Li Huo thought for a while and then shook his head and said that back then, Tiansheng Sect arranged five Night Owl personnel in Sihai Commercial House. The station manager was Wen Xin, and he also developed more than a dozen peripheral members.
However, due to his own mistakes, Wenxin's identity was revealed and he was killed. Fortunately, Wenxin decisively blew himself up and committed suicide. Only two people who had close contact with him were implicated, and he and the Eight-faced Fox survived.
At that time, his cultivation level was only at the third level of pulse condensation, while the Eight-faced Fox was already at the tenth level of pulse condensation. Therefore, after coming to the Wei Kingdom, the Eight-faced Fox was the first to break through the Zi Mansion with the help of the Thorn God, and was reused earlier.
At this time, the Eight-faced Fox was on the seventh floor of the Zi Mansion, and his position had just reached the core of the Thorn God. He was considered a high-level employee. However, he was only on the second floor of the Zi Mansion, and was only a middle-level employee.
"Of course I will ask the Bamenhuo side. You can tell me your opinion first. It doesn't matter. Say whatever you want."
"Okay, then let me tell you my opinion. The Thorn God emerged in Central Continent. Central Continent is the most prosperous place in the world of cultivating immortals. Therefore, the Thorn God's means of profit have always been obtained from monks, and he was not good at management. Until Sihai Company came to
Tianyunzhou changed his mind after learning some business skills.
The Wei Kingdom is small and weak, with a low level of spiritual veins. Except for the Changliu City area, most of the areas have only been developed for a hundred or two hundred years. The development intensity of Lingshan is very low, far weaker than places like Chen Kingdom, Lu Kingdom, and Cang Kingdom.
Therefore, I think that with the behavior and habits of the God of Assassination, he will definitely focus on the Chen State and seize the mature Lingshan. With a little investment, they can obtain a large amount of resources. Once they gain a firm foothold, it will be easier to annex the surrounding forces.
It was easy to open up the wilderness.
Of course, the usual practice of the Thorn God is to do one thing and leave the other. This is their way of survival. They can never go all out, so Weiguo will not give up, but will reduce investment, keep a backup plan, and continue to expand at the same time.
Next place”
"The ghost is really lingering. Okay, I understand. I will record these words and send them back to my lair. Liehuo, you have to take care of yourself. Remember, life is the first priority."
"You know, I will keep myself useful. When the time comes, I will kill Jin Biao with my own hands to avenge Senior Brother Wen."
"Don't worry, this day will come. Everything about Thorn God is under the control of the sect. Keeping them is just to take care of everything."
Iron Lion nodded, and then he conveyed some order information from the sect, and then went out. After leaving the restaurant, Iron Lion changed his appearance, pretending to be a casual cultivator hunting monsters, and went out with a group of casual cultivators.
After arriving at Changliu City, we headed into the wilderness.
As for the information about the Thorn God, it was passed through many layers, and soon it was sent back to the sect. After being translated by a dedicated person, it was passed to Lin Xiao's hands.
