Chapter 1194: Disastrous Defeat
Unlike the civil servants who were unwilling to go to war, the military generals were very excited and asked for war one after another. After all, they had to rely on war if they wanted to be promoted.
As a result, the two sides started to quarrel as usual. One side said it was ignorant of people's livelihood, and the other side said it was timid.
The emperor stood aloof and allowed them to quarrel, only lowering his eyes and thinking about something.
"If I remember correctly, I recruited new recruits half a year ago, right?" But as soon as he opened his mouth, the hall instantly became quiet.
"Reporting to your Majesty, that happened eight months ago, not long after they finished the first round of training." The Minister of War thought for a few moments before giving a definite answer.
"Well, since they are new recruits, they still need to see blood, so they will mix new recruits and veterans. After a month, they will tentatively attack Dongyuan faction Hekouzhou. If it goes well, they will capture it and mobilize the navy to capture the archipelago. ”
"As for the military resources, let them come from my inner treasury."
After saying that, the emperor looked at the many civil servants under his orders quietly with his tiger eyes, which put great pressure on them.
"I obey His Majesty's decree!"
All the ministers bowed their heads to accept the order.
The emperor has already taken a step back, how dare they continue to push further.
"Then make arrangements."
The emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat.
The man in black, who had entered the hall at an unknown time, stood up quietly, knelt on one leg, with his head lowered, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no trace of that monk at all, and it is useless for Jianzheng to take action himself. ”
"Um."
After a long time, the emperor said: "Go down."
The hall fell into silence.
Talk about both ends.
After Li Zhirui got three spiritual seeds, he decisively used his magical power to leave.
As for why he is not suppressed by the Humane Law? It's not because he is the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Li Zhirui has never used this identity, so the Dynasty Longqi will naturally not acknowledge his existence.
It's the complete humanistic method in his hand. After studying it for so many years, how could Li Zhirui not be able to find any flaws?
Moreover, he only needs to seize the momentary loophole in the operation of the Humane Legal Network, and he can escape safely.
Of course, it won't work if we do more. After all, if there are really so many problems, the Humanity Dynasty will not become a troublesome existence for Immortal Dao.
Moreover, Li Zhirui's escape distance was very short, but fortunately he still had space to get close to him. He just had to leave their sight and hide in the space.
He stayed in the space with peace of mind for several days. When the storm was almost over, he reappeared in the imperial capital with a new look and quickly left the city.
"I don't know if the Dongyuan Sect has taken action? Has some of the news I left on the way here been spread?" Li Zhirui moved quickly among the grass and trees, but he was thinking about these two very important questions in his heart.
The information he left behind was different from the truth. He only said that a disciple of the Dongyuan Sect accidentally discovered an extraterrestrial world, but because he did not act secretly, the information was leaked.
Because of his lack of strength, he could not compete with the Dongyuan Sect for the outside world, so he took the initiative to make the news public, not wanting them to succeed smoothly.
The former is related to whether the Zhou Dynasty will actually take action, thereby weakening the power of the Dongyuan Sect; the latter can confuse the public and reduce the family's suspicion.
So both of those things are very important.
However, Li Zhirui was now in the realm of the imperial dynasty, suppressed by the Humane Law, and his not very proficient in the secret deduction could not calculate anything at all, so he could only make plans after leaving.
…
Hongxia City.
Because it was separated from the Zhou Dynasty by a steep and towering mountain range, it was difficult for the army to move, but the immortal city survived.
Due to the convenience of observation and travel in Dazhou, coupled with the rich products in the mountains, monsters and beasts breed, it becomes more and more prosperous, and the number of monks continues to grow.
As soon as Li Zhirui entered the city, he heard many monks talking about the Dongyuan Sect's discovery of the outside world. He felt slightly relieved. Fortunately, this matter was successfully completed.
Next, it depends on whether the Zhou Dynasty will take action.
Judging from the information the family has collected about the emperor, there is a high probability that he will take action!
Because his outward appearance is related to toughness and iron-bloodedness, and this is a great opportunity to expand territory, and he should not be willing to miss it.
As for the contract signed between the Dongyuan Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty? Can a contract without any binding force be called a contract?
Li Zhirui's thoughts were running wildly, and he felt that there was nothing missing, so he set off back to Wanxian Mountain and waited for further developments.
…
A few days ago.
Dongyuan Sect.
As soon as the news about the outside world spread, they received the intelligence.
"Who do you think leaked this matter?"
The leader asked calmly: "Will it have any impact on the sect?"
Logically speaking, this should be kept strictly confidential, but within the Dongyuan Sect alone, dozens of people knew about this matter.
Moreover, they also want to use surrounding forces, such as the Li family, and a group of vassal forces as pawns. How can the news be kept secret?
So the leader didn't get angry because of this, the focus of what he said was the last sentence.
If word spread that they had secretly joined forces with the Hai Clan, it would be a big blow to the reputation of the Dongyuan Sect. Regardless of whether there had been similar situations in private, this kind of thing could not be done or said.
At the same time, it will also attract the covetousness of some big forces, or other actions, such as the Great Zhou Dynasty taking the opportunity to invade!
"As long as we can capture the outside world, the sacrifice is worth it!" A certain elder didn't care about the impact at all, and his goal was very clear.
The world outside the domain has an incomparable attraction and temptation to any creature who knows its preciousness, because it is a real ladder to heaven!
"But if this operation fails, not only will we lose some disciples, but we are also likely to lose our territory. The gamble is too big." Some cautious elders also expressed different opinions.
"Practicing is to go against the will of heaven. If you don't fight or compete, are you just waiting for the opportunity to fall on your head?"
The elder Mo Changhuai said excitedly: "Once successful, the sect will become the largest force in the immortal way, and everyone will have great gains. At that time, it is not impossible for you and me to break through to the earthly immortal!"
"Hmph! In the final analysis, you are also for your own selfish desires, and you don't care about the lives of other disciples at all."
"Don't spit blood here!"
"Enough!"
The head of the sect shouted impatiently, saying: "Since there is no stalemate, let's vote by raising hands."
"Raise your hands if you agree to fight for the world outside the domain."
Swish, swish, swish——
All of a sudden, most of the elders raised their hands in agreement.
As Mo Changhuai said, if you don't fight or compete, how can you change your fate against the will of heaven?
The immortal realm seems to have transcended the secular world and obtained "immortality", but they know in their hearts that this is just an illusion. When the catastrophe comes, they will still have to take their lives to go through it!
As for the dangers? Since they have made the decision, they are naturally willing to bear the consequences and costs.
…
After returning to Wanxian Mountain, Li Zhirui no longer immersed himself in closed-door cultivation as before, and would come out from time to time to inquire about the news.
Time passed quickly while he was waiting, and one day, the long-awaited news finally came to the Li family.
The Great Zhou Dynasty launched an invasion, and the Dongyuan Sect became weak and was beaten back step by step, and soon lost a lot of territory.
Originally it was just a tentative attack, but seeing this situation, the Great Zhou immediately launched a million troops, sweeping in like a tide.
In just over a month, the Dongyuan Sect retreated again and again, and had given up hundreds of miles of land.
At the same time, the Great Zhou navy was also in action, capturing the half of the sea islands that originally belonged to the East China Sea Dynasty and were later captured by the Dongyuan Sect.
The two battles started, and the Dongyuan Sect, which occupied the geographical advantage, did not have any advantage at all, which was really surprising!
Of course, this does not make other forces think that they are weak and can be bullied.
Because the two sides are not at the same level at all, and their strengths are very different, if there is a small force that dares to offend Dongyuan Sect, it will be wiped out in less than a day!
This is a war between heavenly immortal forces.
"It seems that Dongyuan Sect is still going to rob that extraterritorial world." Li Zhirui said to himself, but he had no other ideas.
It was an unexpected gain to be able to use this news to get three human immortal spirit seeds. If you want to get anything else, it would be a bit greedy!
And greed often does not end well.
The Li family just honestly became a bystander and waited for the end to come to an end, and did not intervene randomly.
Li Zhirui did not pay attention to the subsequent developments, but collected his mind and continued to practice.
And under his leadership, the family also shifted their attention and returned to themselves.
...
A hidden location in the deep sea.
In the past, there were almost no living creatures, but now there were a large number of cultivators and sea creatures, and their cultivation was very high, and there were several heavenly immortals among them!
"I didn't expect that you would join forces with the human race in order to break away from the sea clan. You are inviting wolves into the house by doing this!" The dragon fairy looked at the scene in front of him, and the sadness in his heart was far greater than anger.
It knew that the races such as the Thunder Snake, the Mysterious Python, and the Swallowing Sea Whale had long been dissatisfied with the internal resource allocation of the sea clan and had plans to break away from the alliance.
But it never occurred to them that for this matter, they actually contacted the Dongyuan Sect privately, and even gave away the outer world as a gift!
Don't they know that with this outer world, the sea clan will usher in a period of vigorous development? That is a great thing that benefits all sea clans!
And in order to maintain the alliance with the sea clan, the dragon clan intends to give in a step, and will announce it as soon as they take over the outer world to resolve their dissatisfaction.
In the end, they were still a step late!
"Hmph! That's a nice way to put it! Didn't your dragon race occupy the vast majority of resources that time, and didn't you get 10% of the spiritual objects in our hands?"
"Every time we launched a beast tide, it was our races that fought hard. What were the dragon race doing? How many people did the dragon race send to participate in the war?"
"You said one thing, but did another. In fact, you have been on guard against us for a long time! You even started to plan to use this action to kill people with a borrowed knife and get rid of us. By then, the sea race will still be under the control of your dragon race, and no race will dare to resist!"
The resentment in the hearts of the Razers and other races did not accumulate in a day or two. It has not erupted for so many years. The main reason is that the gap in strength between the two sides is too big.
Even now, it has only narrowed the distance a little bit. The dragon race still has far more power than them.
As for the last words, it was after the Dongyuan Sect monks appeared, and there were several more dragon and turtle immortals nearby.
It can be seen that the dragon race has the intention to directly destroy them.
Because as long as these immortals are dealt with, the races they belong to will not cause any trouble, let alone talk about leaving the sea race.
"If you admit your mistakes now, we will forgive you and pretend that this incident never happened!" The dragon immortal was still making his last effort, and he really didn't want to see problems within the sea clan.
But his efforts were in vain.
The war was about to start!
However, only the few immortals took action, and the other creatures were just waiting in a state of alert, but did not take action.
They were all very restrained, and did not use their magical powers to fight, but decided the victory or defeat through the method of derivative law, that is, to show their own understanding of the Tao and defeat the opponent!
The battle of derivative law seems ordinary and seems to be not dangerous, but in fact it is a hundred times more dangerous than fighting.
Once you are dragged into your own Tao by the opponent and cannot see through and get out, your own Tao will be "polluted", and your understanding of the Tao will also go wrong.
The easiest way to remove the "pollution" is to completely abandon that part of the Tao, otherwise you can only resolve it abruptly.
The former abandoned years of accumulation and had to start again; the latter did not know how much time it would take, and did not know whether it would succeed until the end.
Ah!
A scream came from the mouth of the Thunder Snake Celestial Immortal, its face was full of horror, and it shouted in disbelief: "Impossible! How is this possible! How can your realm be so much higher than mine!"
"Alas!"
The Dragon Celestial Immortal sighed with regret and said: "Why don't the Dragons come out? Don't you know the reason? Or have you forgotten the ancestral teachings?"
The Thunder Snake Celestial Immortal was speechless and stood there in despair.
Its avenue has been "polluted"! If it can't be solved, then it will never be able to go any further in its lifetime.
Next, the losers were lifeless, like a body with only a shell but no soul.
And among these creatures, most of them came from races such as Thunder Snake, and only two Dragons were defeated.
There was also a special situation, that is, the duel with the Cave Abyss Celestial Immortal actually reached a draw, and neither side could do anything to the other, so they took back the avenue perception at the same time.
Although it was not polluted, it was still affected, and the breath dropped a lot.
Their side was defeated miserably, how could the immortal of Dongyuan Sect dare to stay any longer? He immediately fled with his disciples.
The immortals of the dragon clan did not stop them, as their main goal now was to resolve the internal crisis of the sea clan.
"Don't worry, we won't kill you, but we will let you guard the eye of the sea and experience for yourself what the dragon clan is enduring!"
As soon as the voice fell, several immortals of the dragon clan took action together, sealed their dantian, and took them away directly.
After dealing with these things, they began the original purpose of gathering many races this time, to take over the world outside the domain! (End of this chapter)
