Chapter 623 Attacking the Palace of the Setting Sun
Not long after everyone went down, Zhong Zhenyang came back sneakily.
He took out a Qiankun Ring and said with a flattering look on his face: "Your Highness, we are old friends.
In the past, the Netherworld Sect often bullied the Wang family, but this was all the idea of that bastard Luo Jiuyou, and the three of us had no involvement.
It's just that we old guys had a blood feud with the Zhao family to some extent back then.
Emperor Zhao is magnanimous, so naturally he will not be as knowledgeable as us.
It's just that the younger generations of the Zhao family will inevitably target us, making life difficult for them.
We heard that His Royal Highness the County Prince can be granted the title of Marquis or below, so we thought of serving under the County Prince.
This is the Qiankun Ring that I got from exploring the ancient monk's cave. The space inside is fifty feet square.
The copies of the Nether Sect inheritance copied by my descendants are all in this.
In addition, there are some local specialties from the Netherworld Sect, and I would like to ask the prince to accept them."
Although the three Nether Sect families have titles, their fiefdoms have not yet been determined.
After the Zhao family puts down the rebellion, they must reward the heroes generously.
There are the Zhao clan, the Linhai Thirteen Families, and the old nobles from back then. The three Netherworld Clan families can't even piss in the same pot as any other force.
If there is no one to protect them, it will be fine when they are alive, but after they die, their descendants will be bullied to death.
Wang Daoyuan was also extremely tempted by this thing. The inheritance accumulated by the Netherworld Sect for thousands of years was a huge wealth for any force.
But he didn't dare to agree easily. If he took them under his command, it would be a blatant expansion of his strength, and he could easily be suspected of being disloyal.
He waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't dare to make the decision on this matter. You are surrendering to Emperor Zhao, not to me.
Emperor Zhao should have the final say as to where the fiefdom should be located.
Besides, there are no large Yin vessels in my territory."
Zhong Zhenyang said with a smile: "We don't dare to expect success, but when your Majesty divides the kingdoms in the future, His Majesty the County Prince can just say a few nice words.
It doesn't matter whether there are Yin channels or not. We started making preparations as early as a hundred years ago after the Yin Qi of the Mingshui River disappeared.
There are some members of the family who practice righteous martial arts. Even if there is no Yin vein, the family can continue.
If we have Yin veins, we would be willing to be sealed off to a bitter cold place in the north of the mountains."
Wang Daoyuan nodded: "In that case, it's okay to say a few words, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."
Zhong Zhenyang's face was full of joy: "Your Highness, the Prince, is willing to speak. I hope His Highness will accept these local specialties."
Wang Daoyuan was not polite and accepted the Qiankun Ring directly.
I have to say that Zhong Zhenyang is really good at doing things, and there are really a lot of good things in Qiankun Ring.
In addition to a large number of jade slips and animal skin books, there are also piles of third- and fourth-level weapon refining materials and processed elixirs.
Naturally, there is also the purple-gold chalcedony fruit, and the auxiliary medicines to connect the golden elixir are also gathered together.
Moreover, these elixirs still retain their seeds.
The local products of the Netherworld Sect were really good, and he secretly made up his mind to search for some local products from the Setting Sun Palace.
Two days later, the resources and manpower of the Netherworld Sect have been deployed, and they are ready to go out at any time.
Wang Daoyuan ordered a Jindan monk from Linhai Prefecture to garrison the Netherworld Sect.
The following low-level monks include members of the Zhao Jiaben family, monks from Linhai Prefecture, monks trained by the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and some monks under the command of the prince's palace.
Of course, there are also many monks from the Netherworld Sect.
The composition of the monks is mixed, and no one can have an absolute advantage, so they don't dare to cause trouble.
Wang Daoyuan took seven Jindan monks and headed west.
Low-level monks must also be brought along. The monks from the Luo family of Netherworld Sect have committed crimes and have made meritorious deeds, so naturally they are indispensable.
Wang Daoyuan didn't have the intention to plot against them. The monks of the Luo family were guilty of meritorious service, and to put it bluntly, they were used as cannon fodder.
The loss in defeating the Cangyang Palace may not be big, but after taking the Cangyang Palace, there is still a battle to be fought.
That old fox Zhong Zhenyang knew his attitude towards the Luo family and would send the Luo family monks to the most dangerous places without his instructions.
Ten third-level flying warships, one fourth-level mid-level flying warship, and thirty airships headed west under the leadership of eight golden elixirs.
The north of Canyang Palace Mountain is not far from the gate of Netherworld Sect, it is in Sunset County to the east of Mingshui County.
Legend has it that in ancient times, a golden crow divine bird fell here, hence the name Sunset County. The gate of Canyang Palace is located in the Sunset Valley in the central part of Sunset County.
There is something peculiar about Sunset Valley. There are cliffs on both sides and a lava river in the middle.
Lava in other places is more than 8,000 feet to 10,000 feet below the surface, but the lava river in Sunset Valley is only more than 2,000 feet above the ground.
Moreover, the spiritual power in the lava river is comparable to the fourth-order high-grade spiritual veins.
The entire Sunset Valley is more than 500 miles long, and the widest point is more than 50 miles.
All the buildings in Can Yang Palace are located on the cliffs on both sides of Sunset Valley.
There are also huge protruding stone pillars in the lava river, and a few buildings are built on these stone pillars.
When Wang Daoyuan and others came to Sunset Valley, Can Yang Palace did not surrender directly like Netherworld Sect.
Sunset Valley is shrouded in a fourth-level high-grade defensive formation. This kind of defensive formation using formation bases is not something that can be broken overnight.
Everyone found a third-level mid-grade spiritual vein east of Sunset Valley as a temporary location.
Later, Wang Daoyuan led a group of Jindan monks to check out the Sunset Valley formation, of course, in order to shock the Setting Sun Palace.
There are eight golden elixir monks, four of whom are in the late golden elixir stage.
The Setting Sun Palace is currently full of resources, but there are only three Golden Elixir monks.
There is the half-disabled sect leader Jin Yang Zhenren, the Supreme Elder Di Yan Zhenren, and Lei Wudao who has just formed an elixir.
This guy has been cultivated as a golden elixir seedling, and he finally succeeded in forming an elixir not long ago.
Together, these three people can be considered as the combat power of two Linhai Kings, which is not enough for Wang Daoyuan.
Qian Yang took a step forward and shouted loudly: "I am Qian Yang, the golden elixir monk hidden in Can Yang Palace. In terms of seniority, I am the same generation as Master Jin Yang, and my inheritance is the lineage of the ancestor Can Yang Master.
Now, all the Jindan monks in Can Yang Palace have been lost, and it is impossible to stop Emperor Zhao's army.
Emperor Zhao has decreed that monks from the three sects who surrender will be punished and meritorious service, and those who defect will be rewarded.
After I surrendered, I assisted the prince in killing the two brothers Luo Jiuyou, the leader of the Nether Sect, and was now named an earl.
The four golden elixirs of the Netherworld Sect killed the Luo family's golden elixirs who were unwilling to surrender, and now they have also created an earl and four viscounts.
If you can surrender before the king takes action, you can still get the merit of dedicating the city and get a title.
After Emperor Zhao put down the rebellion, those with noble titles could still get fiefs.
My fellow disciples, whether you want to be killed all or you want to be granted titles and lands, it all depends on your choice."
After Qian Yang finished speaking, there was no movement in the Setting Sun Palace.
Wang Daoyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense and offered up the meteor fire-controlling gourd. Red and gold flames poured out from the gourd.
Below is a river of lava, as well as a fourth-level high-grade fire spirit vein. The fire spirit energy is extremely rich.
The red gold flame quickly ignited these fire spirits, and the fire quickly expanded.
He also sacrificed the Suzaku Fan and performed the Suzaku Fire Control Technique.
The Suzaku phantom carries red gold flames and attacks the defensive formation.
The lava river below was also ignited by red gold flames, and the fire became more intense.
Wang Daoyuan only needs to expend a very small amount of spiritual power to control the fire-controlling gourd to emit flames.
Not only does it not consume spiritual power, but it can also continuously draw spiritual power from the red gold flame.
If it lasts like this for ten days and a half, it won't be a problem.
Suzaku Phantom's attack, supported by a steady stream of flames, is also extremely powerful.
The fiery red light shield of the defensive formation also trembled slightly under the attack.
The defensive formation of the Setting Sun Palace should be both offensive and defensive.
But this formation was actually just a passive defense, with no intention of attacking at all.
The fire attribute formation is good at attacking, but its defensive ability is not very good.
The monks from the Setting Sun Palace actually gave up their strengths and used their weaknesses. If they continue to fight like this, the formation really won't last long.
At this time, Zhong Zhenyang had already taken out a formation measuring disk and began to look for the weaknesses of the formation.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a late-stage cultivator from the Zifu who had exhausted his vitality and blood appeared in front of the palace on a stone pillar in the middle of the Sunset Valley.
He cupped his hands to Wang Daoyuan and said: "See, Your Highness the County King, the County King is unaware of something. The Supreme Elder, the Palace Master, and the Deputy Palace Master had already escaped from the Sunset Valley a day ago with the help of the sect's back-up force.
They also took away the talented disciples in the palace, as well as all the inheritance and resources they could take away.
Now, there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in this formation, as well as some mortals.
Please also ask the county king to be open-minded and let them go.
If you want to kill or behead, the younger generation will shoulder the responsibility.
As long as the prince agrees, I will close the defensive formation."
