Planned by the Wu Kingdom and executed by the Tiancang faction of the Cang Kingdom, within a year, the chaotic Cang Kingdom was reunified. Later, the Cang Kingdom announced its elimination and formally all joined the Wu Kingdom and became part of the Wu Kingdom. The announcement shocked the world again.
of Nanzhou, which represented the emergence of a new and dynamic power, and the Wu Kingdom's influence in Nanzhou increased dramatically.
The new Wu Kingdom spans more than 16,000 miles from north to south and more than 20,000 miles from east to west. It has more than a million monks and a mortal population of more than 80 million. There are two people in the Shenxu stage, nearly thirty spiritual light monks, and more than Daogang monks.
Two hundred people, close to three hundred, are already close to the Song Dynasty in terms of high-end combat power, and are still developing at a rapid pace.
The difficulty of managing such a large Wu Kingdom has increased dramatically. There are currently three centers for immortal cultivators, Gongming City, Yujing City, and Tiancang City of the Tiancang Sect. These three centers serve as gathering places for immortal cultivators to protect the entire Wu Kingdom.
.
The mortal management system also implemented the model of the Wu Kingdom. The entire Wu Kingdom was redivided into eighty-one Tao, each named. The Tiansheng Sect had full jurisdiction over three Tao, indirectly controlled five Tao, and the rest were divided among the various sects.
Among them, Gongming City is unique to the Tiansheng Sect, while Yujing City is divided between the former Lu Kingdom and Wu Kingdom. Tiansheng Sect accounts for 20% of the shares, Chunyang Palace and Danyang Sect share 30% of the shares, and the remaining sects share 50%.
into shares, and personnel will be assigned to guard the operation according to the shares.
Tiancang City, on the other hand, is divided between the original Cang Kingdom forces and the Wu Kingdom forces, and is also guarded and managed according to the proportion of shares. The Tiansheng Sect has sent spiritual light monks to guard the two cities all year round.
Two months later, all the sects of Wu Kingdom sent people to Gongming City to hold a Wu Kingdom Conference to discuss the management of Wu Kingdom. Lin Xiao also appeared, and Nan Xuan presided over the meeting.
The main thing is to implement the management system of the original Tianyun State, which is to use interest relationships to bind various sects and strengthen cohesion. The other is how to run the Wu Kingdom.
One way to do this is the Centenary Celebration. In a few years it will be the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Kingdom of Wu. At that time, a huge auction will be held in three cities. Each sect will sell some precious spiritual objects, including some strategic resources.
, including Kaifu Pill, Daoji Pill, and Lingming Pill, it has not been decided yet.
In addition, there are some contents of exchanges between various sects, including the fact that Tiansheng Sect will share some technologies in alchemy and weapon refining, formations and spiritual talismans, and then take the opportunity to integrate some resources.
Many of the practices were pioneered in the world of immortality, causing envoys from various countries to rush to learn from them. The influence of the Wu Kingdom was rapidly expanding, and its strength was also advancing by leaps and bounds.
Of course, there are many problems behind this strong surface. The Tiansheng Sect only trusts the various sects in the original Tianyun State system. There are still many problems with the other sects that have joined in. It will take a hundred years to truly assimilate, but this
This is also a problem that Nan Xuan needs to deal with.
In order to deal with the increasingly complex internal problems of the Wu Kingdom, Lin Xiao established the Wu Kingdom Immortal Alliance, which was composed of one person from each of the twelve strongest forces in the Wu Kingdom. The Immortal Alliance was mainly responsible for resolving conflicts within the Wu Kingdom and contacting various parties.
Zong, etc., once a war breaks out, the Immortal Alliance will become the highest authority to mobilize the country.
Lin Xiao is the honorary leader of the Wu Kingdom Immortal Alliance, and the specific work is assigned by the General Affairs Hall to one person. The power of this assignment is in the hands of Nan Xuan, which means that Nan Xuan has become the most powerful person in the Wu Kingdom besides Lin Xiao.
One person can truly be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Later, Lin Xiao transferred Jia Mengran back to the sect and served as the leader of the Integrity Hall. After taking office, Jia Mengran selected elite personnel from the War Hall and Law Enforcement Hall to strengthen his strength, and began to announce some illegal and corruption incidents to crack down on abuse of power for personal gain.
After Lin Xiao had dealt with all this, more than half a year had passed. Nearly two years had passed since he returned from Central Continent. Two years had passed since he visited Qianluo, Xilao and Wei. Lin Xiao Xiaoxiao set off back to Central Continent again.
·········
In the Heishui Tower of Tianxuan Sect in Central Continent, Qing Nian sat behind the desk and looked at a report in front of him with a solemn expression. There seemed to be nothing surprising about this report, but there was a key word, iron lion. .
Tie Shi is Qing Nian's inner demon. This matter is not only known to everyone on the Black Water Stage, but also to Xuanyang City. After all, Tie Shi has been active in Xuanyang City for decades, and this is a public matter. After that, Tie Shi Escaping from the siege of Tianxuan Sect was considered a shame at Blackwater Tower.
After that, Qing Nian tracked Iron Lion to Nanzhou and spent ten years. Not only did he not catch anyone, but he returned home seriously injured. This was Qing Nian's personal shame.
After Qing Nian came back from Nanzhou, he never mentioned the iron lion again, and everyone kept silent. But everyone knew that this matter would probably be difficult to get over. If Qing Nian didn't solve this problem, it would be difficult for him to get a golden body in this life. It’s due.
"Who are Sun Weili and Yang Yanchang? Have you found out?"
"Sir, I have found out that these two people settled in the Flame Mountain within the territory of Tianxuan Sect a hundred years ago. They took in wives and concubines and had children. They are quite talented and know how to manage. They have dominated the Flame Mountain for a hundred years. There are thousands of descendants of his clan and dozens of immortal cultivators. The person who committed the crime this time was Yang Yanchang’s youngest son.”
Qing Nian asked, and a monk from Heishuitai next to him replied that the source of this report was very simple. The descendants of a certain important monk in Tianxuan Sect had an accident near the Flame Mountain. The soul lamp went out, and then Black Shuitai took over the task to investigate the matter.
The process of handling the case was naturally to find the sect family forces near the Flame Mountain. These forces were also considered vassals of the Tianxuan Sect. After a little investigation, it was discovered that the youngest son of the local Yang family, Yang Yanchang, Yang Qilin, was the most suspected.
This Yang Qilin is the youngest son of Yang Yanchang. He is extremely talented. In addition, his mother is Yang Yanchang's favorite concubine, so he is extremely doting. He has a violent and domineering personality. After investigation, it was found that Yang Qilin and his guards were responsible. , the reason is that Yang Qilin fell in love with a female cultivator of Tianxuan Sect and started to pursue her, but was rejected by the female cultivator and said some cruel words about his lack of qualifications. Yang Qilin became angry and sent assassins to kill several Tianxuan Sect cultivators. Killed.
After investigating the matter, the Yang family in Flame Mountain was suddenly in trouble. Blackwater Tower sent a master to wipe out the Yang family. However, before taking action, Yang Yanchang told him that he knew the secret of Iron Lion and that Qing Nian was defeated in Nanzhou. The reason was that the master of Heishuitai who went was Qing Nian's confidant. Knowing that this was Qing Nian's inner demon, he held his hand for the time being and then controlled the Yang family.
After a brief investigation, it was found that the Yang family's neighbors, the Sun family, had a close relationship with the Yang family, and the two had similar backgrounds, so they controlled them together.
"What do these two people want?"
"Yang Yanchang said that he could tell all the secrets of the forces behind Iron Lion and only asked for the Yang family to be spared. Sun Weili was greedy and hoped to become a close vassal of Tianxuan Sect. He was even willing to become a secret agent of Heishui Tower in order to have a bright future."
"I understand, take the person to the city guard prison. I will go there later."
"Yes, sir"
Not long after, Qing Nian arrived at the City Guard Prison. Sun Weili and Yang Yanchang had been brought in. They had their cultivation levels sealed and looked at the torture instruments in the City Guard Prison with fear.
"Do you know these three punishments?"
"know"
"Oh, tell me"
"This is not a punishment but an interrogation method, but we don't know the specific principle. We went to training and failed."
"Training, it seems you really know the secret of Iron Lion?"
"Yes, sir, to be honest, Iron Lion is our senior brother."
Yang Yanchang answered honestly that he and Sun Weili were none other than the earliest Taoist monks of Tiansheng Sect. They were traveling abroad and received news from Ye Xiao that Tianyun Prefecture was at war with Lu State, and Lu State soldiers
In order to suppress the situation, Lu Yan even went out to fight in person. They felt that Tianyun Prefecture would be defeated and Tiansheng Sect would be defeated, so they deliberately delayed returning to join the war.
After Lin Xiao found out about this, he made Ye Xiao's message become more and more severe. The two felt that it was not worth sacrificing for the Tiansheng Sect, so they simply ran away. Later, Ye Xiao even offered a reward to hunt them down.
However, they were also trained by Ye Xiao back then, but they were eliminated before completing the training, but their skills were still good. The first batch of Dao Gang monks from Tiansheng Sect were all talented people who could stand alone. They fled all the way to Central Continent.
Then they traveled around and wandered like this for more than a hundred years, but they never got the opportunity to advance to the aura.
Therefore, a hundred years ago, they came to the Flame Mountain within the Tianxuan Sect to settle down, and then took in wives and concubines, reproduced their descendants, and prepared to die here, placing their hopes of becoming immortals in their descendants.
With their cultivation and methods, they quickly ran an industry, recruited many people, and dominated the Flame Mountain area in thirty years. Their heirs also repeatedly produced outstanding spiritual roots, and there was a trend of prosperity.
.
In particular, Yang Yanchang's youngest son, Yang Qilin, possessed the best spiritual roots and was extremely doted on by Yang Yanchang. He regarded him as the person who would lead the Yang family to glory and focused on training him. However, he unexpectedly developed Yang Qilin's domineering character.
He could still solve Yang Qilin's bullying of men and women in the Flame Mountain area, but this time he killed the disciples of Tianxuan Sect. This was something Yang Yanchang could not solve. Fortunately, the person who handled the matter was someone from Heishuitai. Yang Yanchang knew that Xuanyang
Because of the matter in the city, he decisively kept the secret as a means to save his life, which is why we had today's meeting.
"Senior brother, you are actually Iron Lion's junior brother?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Sun and I are both junior brothers of Tie Shi. Tie Shi was the senior brother who led us back then, and most of the training content was also taught by Tie Shi."
"Very good, tell me your secret, and I will agree to everything you ask for. But if I find out that you lied to me, I will let you know what life is worse than death."
"Don't dare, we will never dare to deceive you."
"Okay, you can talk now"
Qing Nian's eyes were gleaming. In the fight with Iron Lion, he was completely defeated. One of the important reasons was that Iron Lion had a mysterious origin. He didn't know how to follow at all, so he was passively beaten everywhere. If he knew the opponent's follow
He believes that with the power of Tianxuan Sect, he is not afraid of any force in Nanzhou.
