From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

Qin shujian was also very clear about this.

After annexing the heavenly corpse sect and establishing the yuan Pavilion, the sky sect’s strength was no longer the same as before.

Whether it was in terms of strength.

It was still in terms of resources.

Sky origin sect was not any weaker than the other top sects.

The cultivation world had always been at a disadvantage compared to the Imperial court.

However, that was only when compared to the huge imperial court. It was not as simple as just a Prefecture or a region.

To a Duke of a Prefecture.

If he could obtain the support of a top sect, his strength would definitely be greatly improved.

One had to know.

In the cultivation world, the top sects alone were enough to occupy half of the strength.

The remaining half were made up of other sects and powers, as well as itinerant cultivators.

From this, one could see how much weight the top sects held.

Zhang Yi has unified the Southwind mansion. His strength is indeed first-class among all the Dukes. Unfortunately, I value the Imperial court’s Foundation more than the Dukes ‘strength.

“Otherwise, I’ll agree to this matter.”

Qin shujian shook his head in his heart.

Rebellion had always been a matter of victory and defeat. Once defeated, it would be a dead end.

Now that the situation in the sky origin sect was looking good, what they needed in the short term was time.

Unless he was out of his mind, he would not rebel with Zhang Yi.

Otherwise, this was the most appropriate way to protect oneself.

After entering the flat plain Prefecture.

Qin shujian followed the location that he had previously obtained and headed toward the location where the devil disaster had broken out.

This time, he didn’t use the teleportation gate.

The main reason was that the distance was not far. If he had the time to spend money on the teleportation gate, it would be faster to fly.

A stream of light streaked across the sky, bringing with it a series of explosive sounds.

It spanned across a true Dominion.

Qin shujian only used less than an hour to appear at the location of the devil disaster.

However-

However, the scene before his eyes made Qin shujian feel a little depressed.

There was not a single living being on the charred demonic earth below, not even a skeleton.

In the ruins, traces of a fortress could still be seen.

The place was still the same place.

But the evil spirit had disappeared.

Qin shujian’s divine will spread out, and it quickly covered the entire devil earth.

“The demonic Qi in the air is still there, but it’s already starting to dissipate.”

“There’s no trace of a devil disaster, and no trace of evil spirits.”

it seems like ... Someone was one step ahead of me and exterminated the evil spirits here.

Qin shujian’s expression was dark. He scanned his surroundings with his divine telekinesis a few times before he retracted his divine telekinesis.

There were no traces of evil spirits in the devil earth.

There were only two possibilities in this situation.

First, the demon had escaped.

The second was that the evil spirit had died.

If it was the former, it was impossible for the demons to escape without causing a commotion. However, from what he had seen when he came, and the fact that the demonic earth showed no signs of spreading, the chances of the demons escaping were extremely low.

In this case, the latter was the only possibility.

Qin shujian had thought about it a long time ago. There would definitely be some evil demons that had been destroyed by others before he had even arrived.

However, when they really met.

He still felt his heart ache.

This was because the sinister devil sealed in this place was no ordinary sinister devil. Instead, it was a seal set up by the eight-star formation.

This way ...

This sinister devil was at least at the fourth level of celestial being realm.

Even though they were all sinister Devils, the amount of life value and energy they contributed would be different depending on their strength.

The number of life value points contributed by a demon at the fourth or fifth level of celestial realm was comparable to that of two demons at the second or third level of celestial realm.

He didn’t stay here for long.

...

Qin shujian immediately took to the air and left. He headed to the next place.

Liang mountain spirit domain, Yuan sect.

A few sect elders were gathered together at this time, as if they were having a casual gathering.

Xu Yuanming took a sip of the spiritual tea, then put the teacup down. He looked at the others and said, “”I suggest that the yuan Pavilion stop taking on missions related to the Imperial court and the rebel army.

Now that the situation is tense, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble if the yuan Pavilion openly accepts such a mission.”

Now that Yuan Pavilion’s reputation had been established, it had begun to provide profits for Yuan sect.

Most of the people who issued the missions were some forces in the cultivation world, and some were itinerant cultivators.

The difficulty of the missions varied.

In any case, as long as he paid, Yuan Pavilion would hang it up for him.

It was just that there was a mission grade assessment within the yuan Pavilion, and then the mission was assigned the corresponding grade.

However, during this period of time.

...

There were also some missions that involved the Imperial court and the Dukes.

For example, assassinating an official of the Imperial court, or assassinating a certain Duke, or an assistant to a certain Duke.

Even to the extent that ...

There was even a mission to assassinate Xi Yang.

The moment such a mission appeared, it was immediately suppressed by the yuan Pavilion.

Putting a bounty on the great Zhao’s Emperor on the land of the great Zhao was no different from suicide.

The person who had issued these missions was clearly trying to stir up trouble for Yuan Pavilion.

&Nbsp; so,

During this period of time, sky origin sect had even destroyed a few forces in order to complete their mission.

Then, he followed the clues and also set his eyes on a few sects.

However, there was no concrete evidence, and it was not good to cause too much trouble in the current situation, so he put it off for the time being.

In Xu Yuanming’s eyes ...

Given the yuan Pavilion’s original strength in the Imperial court, it was wise to stay out of trouble.

As for whether rejecting these missions would affect Yuan Pavilion’s reputation, it was an insignificant issue.

“It’s good that they don’t accept the missions from the Imperial court and those Dukes,” Niu Feng said.”Not many of them can complete those missions even if they’re released. On the contrary, they’ll be offending others for no reason. However, we can investigate it.”

What was the background of these people who issued these missions?

Are they the enemies of these people, or are they just here to disgust us?”

At this point.

His expression was cold and his killing intent was not concealed at all.

“It’s fine if they’re enemies, but if they’re deliberately trying to frame our sect, then this matter isn’t over!”

Even though he had been The Guardian elder of Yuan sect for the past few years ...

Niu Feng was also slowly cultivating.

However, the personality of the mountain bandit leader of Mount mingai had not changed much.

He was not the only one.

In the entire sky origin sect, there was no lack of ruthless people.

“I’m just afraid that some people will be used as tools and not know what’s going on.” Xu Yuanming laughed coldly.

elder Xu is right. The yuan Pavilion really shouldn’t interfere with the affairs of the Imperial court and the Dukes now.

The unperturbed Zheng Fang said slowly.

“Marquis wuan rebelled and Pingxi general Luo Jing died in battle. Since Marquis Qian Shan’s rebellion started the war, this is the first time the court has suffered such a loss.

From the actions of the Marquis of Wu ‘an, the other rebellious Dukes must have formed an alliance in secret.

It wouldn’t be long before the world was reshuffled.

With our sect’s strength, it’s not difficult for us to protect ourselves, but if we interfere, we’ll be turned to dust if we’re not careful.”

“First elder, do you think they are preparing for the final battle?”

“It’s hard to say if there’s no decisive battle, but the current situation can’t be maintained for too long. Wu ‘an, Bai Yong, Nanfeng, Luoyue, and Qianshan have all rebelled, and the great Zhao has lost three or four out of ten. The other vassals” attitudes are also ambiguous, and they’re probably waiting for an opportunity.

When the rebel forces had accumulated to a certain extent, even if the Imperial court did not make a move, they would be the first to start the decisive battle.

After all, the great Zhao has a deep foundation, and if they are given the opportunity to rest and recuperate, these Dukes will not be able to eat and sleep in peace.”

Zheng Fang stroked his beard and shook his head.

In the eyes of these Dukes, the Imperial court itself was the greatest threat.

They could take advantage of the death of the human Emperor and rise up when the world was in turmoil, but after the Imperial court recuperated, this force that had ruled the world for thousands of years could still sweep across the world.

&Nbsp; so,

These people would never give the Imperial court a chance to breathe.

Moreover, for these Dukes, there was only one purpose in rebelling, and that was to sit on the position of the former human Emperor.

The Imperial court was not destroyed.

That position would forever be in the hands of the royal family.

Even if someone established a country, it would not be legitimate, and it would be difficult to truly convince the masses.

It could be said that ...

The great Zhao dynasty had been around for more than six thousand years, and it had left an indelible mark on the world.

All the common people only knew that the great Zhao was Orthodox, and the rest were rebels and traitors.

To eliminate this influence.

The only way was to wipe out the great Zhao first, and then rely on time to gradually weaken these influences until they completely disappeared.

Niu Feng suddenly sneered and said, ” the other Marquises are having an ambiguous attitude right now, and it’s even more difficult to guess what North cloud Manor is doing. I wonder what our Marquis North cloud is planning.

When Marquis northcloud was mentioned ...

The other people’s expressions turned grave.

If one were to ask who was the most worthy of being feared in North cloud Manor, it would be Marquis North cloud.

The other party had the Imperial court’s backing and was in charge of a Prefecture. He was also an Almighty.

In terms of strength.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one expert in North cloud Prefecture.

An Almighty, not to mention in a Prefecture, even in the entire world, was considered a Supreme expert.

Yuan sect was very close to Marquis northcloud.

But in the end ...

One side represented the Imperial court while the other represented the cultivation world of North cloud Manor. The attitude of both sides had always been ambiguous.

And the current situation added an element of uncertainty to the relationship between the two.

If possible.

Zheng Fang and the others didn’t wish to become enemies with Marquis northcloud.

Although Yuan sect was strong, they were still far from being Marquis northcloud’s enemy.

Unless one day ...

Yuan sect would also have an expert who could fight against Almighties. Otherwise, they would always be weaker than Marquis northcloud.

Xu Yuanming’s expression was grave, and he said in a deep voice, ” if Marquis North cloud also rebels, the Imperial court will probably collapse. Our sect has been working with Marquis North cloud all this time and has been established in the North cloud Manor.

If that’s the case, I’m afraid Marquis North cloud won’t let us stay out of this.”

“After today, our sect will temporarily tighten its strength and seal the mountain Gate when necessary to protect ourselves!”

“That’s the only thing we can do for now.”

“Have there been any movements in the endless Mountains and the demon race?”

Zheng Fang changed the topic.

Upon hearing this.

Xu Yuanming shook his head and said, “the endless Mountains have been quiet for a while. We issue corresponding tasks regularly for the disciples to go in and kill demonic beasts. We don’t have to worry about the beast tide for a short time.

However, I’ve heard some news about the monster race.”

“Demon race?”

Zheng Fang’s old face turned solemn.

The demons were the biggest problem.

As a race that was comparable to the human race in its heyday, it could only be firmly suppressed when the human Emperor was alive.

Such strength.

It was already not something that one or two sects could contend with.

Unless the strength of the entire human race was taken into account, they would have to retreat when facing the demon race.

“I heard that a demonic Saint of the demonic clan has emerged,” Xu Yuanming said.”He went to thousand mountain Prefecture to cooperate with Gu Changqing.”

“Demonic Sage has come into being!”

“Although we can’t verify the authenticity of this information, I don’t think it’s likely to be fake.”

“The matter of the demon saint is of great importance. In addition, the relationship between the two races is delicate now. If a demon saint has really come into being, it’s impossible for the news to spread so quickly.”

“What if the news is from the demon race?”

Xu Yuanming smiled slightly. He had some thoughts about the source of this news.

Demon saint’s matter was extraordinary.

If the news spread, it was most likely that the demons were spreading it in secret.

As for the purpose, he didn’t know.

However ...

These things didn’t have much of an impact on them, but the appearance of demon saint also proved that the demon race was no longer willing to watch the show quietly. Instead, they intended to personally participate.

Now, the great Zhao was on the verge of collapse.

It was almost time for the demons to make their move.

the North cloud Manor is right next to the demons. With Marquis North cloud overseeing the place, the demons won’t make a move. Once they do, it’ll definitely be a thunderous strike. We still need to make early preparations.

Zeng Hong’s expression was grave as he spoke in a deep voice.

especially since the Mount Liang spirit domain is right next to the endless mountain range. If the demons make a move, Marquis northcloud might not be able to receive the news immediately.

It was better to rely on oneself than on others.

In the end, he still had to rely on his own strength.

The fact that Yuan sect was located in the spiritual domain of Mount Liang meant that they would be the first to bear the brunt of the demon race’s attack.

However, after annexing the heavenly corpse sect ...

Sky origin sect’s strength had also improved greatly, so he did not need to worry too much.

with the formation left behind by the Grandmaster and Jiang Feng guarding the sect, we should be able to deal with any ordinary Deva realm expert.

Niu Feng suddenly felt a little depressed.

His position as the mountain guard elder was somewhat undeserved of his reputation when Jiang Feng arrived.

When it came to guarding the sect, this heavenly corpse with the battle strength of a heavenly being was obviously much stronger than Niu Feng.

One of them was in the airborne realm.

One of them was in the heaven tier.

There was a huge gap between the two realms.

Even if Niu Feng was given 80 to 100 years, he still wasn’t confident that he could become a heavenly being.

Now that Qin shujian had left, all the matters within Yuan sect were basically decided by Zheng Fang and the other elders.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, they decided on some things.

The first problem was the yuan Pavilion.

As a force in the cultivation world, the yuan Pavilion definitely could not get involved in the current internal strife in the Imperial court.

Unless they also had the desire to compete for the world, or the idea of fighting for the credit of the Dragon.

Otherwise ...

He definitely had to stay far away.

On the other hand, he had to pay attention to the movements of the demon race at all times and be prepared to respond to the demon race’s attack at any time.

“Lord Marquis, the yuan Pavilion has withdrawn the missions related to the Imperial court and the Dukes. It seems that the yuan sect is planning to protect themselves.”

Fu Bo cupped his hands and said.

No. Marquis North cloud shook his head and laughed. it’s normal to play safe at this time. With the current situation in the world, anyone who gets involved will be crushed to death if they’re not careful.

”

He also acknowledged Yuan Zong’s actions.

At this time, it was much better to protect himself than to rush in foolishly.

“I heard that Marquis Southwind, Zhang Yi, once received Qin shujian,” Fu Bo said after a moment of silence.

talents will be roped in no matter where they are. Qin shujian is a smart person. He knows what to do. Marquis northcloud didn’t mind at all. He said with a faint smile, “”Now that Zhang Yi is in charge of the Southwind mansion, he’s quite proud.”

it’s no wonder. After all, he colluded with Shen Hong to plot against the Imperial court. Even the Pingxi general, Luo jingdou, fell.

Luo Jing’s strength isn’t weak. It’s a pity that he fell like this.

At the mention of Luo Jing, Marquis North cloud’s expression was not a little strange.

Although he had an acquaintance with this general of Pingxi, he had met and talked with him before. He had some respect for Luo Jing, who had once followed the Emperor to defeat his enemies.

To tell the truth.

Marquis northcloud was also shocked when he received the news of Luo Jing’s death.

“Lord Marquis, the five prefectures have rebelled and the situation has already gone out of the Imperial court’s control. More than half of the Imperial court’s military forces are in the hands of the various prefectures. Without the human Emperor to suppress them, the current Sage Emperor will not be able to suppress them.”

“What do you want to say?”

“Lord Marquis, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. With Lord Marquis’s might and our North cloud Prefecture’s many years of management, our strength is not any weaker than the other prefectures.

Moreover, as long as the Marquis raised his arm and called out with his status as a mighty figure, the cultivation world and other experts would definitely come to join him.

When the human Emperor was still alive, we were naturally loyal to the Imperial court, but now that Xi Yang has succeeded the throne, he’s much weaker than the human Emperor. What qualifications does he have to make us submit?”

Fu Bo no longer beat around the bush. He did not even address Xi Yang respectfully. His intention to rebel was obvious.

Marquis northcloud did not get angry. Instead, he asked, “”You want to rebel?”

“This one is only thinking for the Marquis. If the Marquis is rebellious, this one will follow you to the death.”

“We’ll discuss this matter in the future.”

Marquis northcloud waved his hand. He didn’t want to talk too much about this matter.

He naturally understood Fu Bo’s words.

If it was the opposite, this would be the best time.

However-

Marquis northcloud also understood that with the human Emperor’s means, it was impossible for him to not have any backup plans. The situation in the great Zhao dynasty had collapsed so quickly that he had a bad feeling.

All of this had happened too quickly.

It was so fast that no one could have expected it.

If the great Zhao had collapsed, it would have been impossible for problems to arise so quickly with its thousands of years of Foundation.

At least ...

It would be more reasonable for them to reach this stage after a few decades.

Fu Bo also knew what Marquis northcloud was thinking and immediately added, “”Although the emperor’s methods are astonishing, he has suppressed the world for so many years, and the world has accumulated a lot of resentment.

Now that the Emperor had failed to break through and suddenly died, it was normal for the situation to go out of control.

If I hesitate for too long and miss this opportunity, it won’t be good.”

Although Marquis northcloud did not wish to discuss this matter, as his subordinate, he could not allow such an opportunity to slip by.

Even if this would anger the other party, he would not hesitate to do so.

After all, any subject had the thought of serving the Dragon. This was a matter that brought honor to the ancestors and the family.

Once it was successful, it would be passed down for generations.

The current officials in the Imperial court, as well as the Dukes of various manors, had once followed the human Emperor to conquer the world.

It was only when the great Zhao ruled the world and wantonly enfeoffed the people that it had its current status.

This was the benefit of following the Dragon.

Now that Marquis northcloud had such a huge advantage, Fu Bo really did not want him to hesitate for too long and miss the opportunity.

Once the other party succeeded.

If he succeeded, the fu family would become a famous family in the world.

Marquis northcloud fell into a short silence.

Clearly, he was also considering the gains and losses of this matter.

It was true that the Xiao family had been loyal to the Imperial court for generations, but Marquis northcloud was not a blindly loyal person.

If the Imperial court was worthy of his loyalty, he would naturally stand on the Imperial court’s side. However, if he encountered an irreversible situation, he would not have to die with the Imperial court.

In the end ...

There was still a problem of loss and gain.

“Let’s wait and see!” Marquis northcloud pondered for a moment but still didn’t make a decision.

“Yes!”

Seeing this, Fu Bo didn’t insist.

He had already said so much, but the other party still had not made a decision, so he did not dare to say too much.

After all, if he said too much, he would be suspected of forcing an abdication.

“You may leave. I will consider this matter carefully.”

“This one will take his leave!”

“Yes.”

After Fu Bo bowed and retreated, the voice in Marquis northcloud’s mind spoke again before he could do anything.

“Why wouldn’t you agree? if you can sit on the throne, it will be of great benefit to you.”

“Could it be that there’s something different about the throne?”

“Naturally!”

The voice replied to Marquis northcloud’s doubts.

“The human Emperor’s throne is to gather the fate of the world. The person sitting on the throne can control the fate of the world and have great benefits.

In ancient times, there were Supreme experts who established the heavenly court and ruled over a part of the world. Thousands of races came to rule, but the human Emperor’s power is much greater than today’s.”

the ancient heavenly court really existed? ” Marquis northcloud’s expression changed. He was shocked by this piece of information.

It was not that he had not heard of the ancient heavenly court.

After all, a place that controlled a Prefecture would always have some ancient rumors.

However, some of these rumors were true and some were false, and not all of them could be distinguished.

The voice said, ” of course the heavenly court exists. Back then, a Supreme Master of the human race appeared out of nowhere. He swept across the world and intimidated all the other races. In the end, the heavenly court was formed with the luck of all races. That was the peak of the entire human race.

Unfortunately, since the arrival of the Great Tribulation, the heavenly court had collapsed, and many of its powerhouses had fallen. Thousands of races had been killed, and only a few races were left.

One of them is a human, while the other is a demon.”

Marquis northcloud did not come back to his senses for a long time after hearing the voice.

He had never asked him about the ancient celestial heavens, so he didn’t know about such rumors.

Even to the extent that ...

Marquis northcloud did not know that the ancient human race would be so powerful when they were at their peak.

This was even more shocking than the Emperor ruling the world and establishing the great Zhao for thousands of years.

However, what truly concerned Marquis northcloud was ...

What kind of tribulation would cause the collapse of the heavenly court and the death of all the races?
