The Jianghu (martial world) and the imperial court are inherently estranged. Even if Chen Yuan is renowned throughout the world, he will still be resisted by Jianghu martial artists if he oversteps his bounds, unless he directly rebels against the court and establishes himself in the Jianghu.

If it were someone else, establishing himself in the Jianghu without the imperial court as a backing would not end well. He would basically be attacked by everyone, which would also be done as a show for the imperial court.

However, Chen Yuan is different. First of all, he is not afraid of any siege. Secondly, in the north, especially in Liangzhou, his prestige is second only to the King of Northern Liang, Wei Jinfeng, and Wudang Mountain. He also has a good reputation in the Jianghu and will not become universally despised.

"Your subordinate understands!"

Huang Tianshu nodded with a solemn expression.

He had vaguely sensed that Chen Yuan's ambition was not small, and he might have the idea of ​​swallowing Shu Prefecture in the future. Even if the Shuxi Alliance did not attack Chen Yuan, the latter would not let the Shuxi Alliance go.

This is a matter of position, and there is no room for maneuver. Unless one side withdraws, it is impossible to make peace. And now, Chen Yuan has won.

The corpses of Dong Lifang and Qin Zhan are not yet cold…

No, Qin Zhan no longer has a corpse.

After saying this, Chen Yuan warned everyone not to reveal anything about today's events, even if outsiders could guess.

As long as there is no evidence, who dares to confront him?

Everyone knows that he solved the Shuxi Alliance and became the master of the seven prefectures of Shuxi, but without evidence, the imperial court will not attack him, but will only become more wary of him.

After Huang Tianshu, Zheng Sandao, and Lu Renyi planted restrictions in the souls of those people, today's matter came to a temporary end.

Huang Tianshu bowed and took his leave. Before leaving, he glanced at the ruined Xuntian Hall, shook his head slowly, and then turned and flew away, preparing to take people to destroy Wan Jian Mountain.

Before coming, no one expected such a reversal. The aggressive Shuxi Alliance was suppressed by Chen Yuan, and from then on, it became a plaything in his hands.

And he, the Sect Master of the Zhenyue Sect, the Refined Spirit True Man, will become his puppet from now on!

......

......

Inside a side hall of the Xuntian Division, Chen Yuan closed his eyes and breathed, his whole body shrouded in a faint Dao aura. The heaven and earth essence energy condensed into a vortex, hovering above his head.

Shu Prefecture Envoy Lu Renyi pushed open the door of the hall, walked to about three zhang in front of Chen Yuan, and bowed:

"Marquis."

Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Renyi, asking:

"Is it cleaned up?"

"Yes, it has been cleaned up. There are still some remnants of Qin Zhan's limbs left, which have been buried with Dong Lifang's corpse in the mass grave. Their two divine weapons have also been collected into the treasury. In addition, they both have storage treasures, inside..."

Lu Renyi bowed and narrated the gains of this battle.

"Very good, rebuild the hall as soon as possible."

"Yes, your subordinate understands."

Lu Renyi nodded, and then, he hesitated, wanting to ask something, but after hesitating for a moment, he still suppressed his long-brewing thoughts and prepared to bow and take his leave.

"What do you want to ask?"

Chen Yuan seemed to see Lu Renyi's doubts and said lightly.

"N...nothing."

"Do you want to ask why the Sanjue Sect was destroyed at this critical juncture?" Chen Yuan said softly.

Lu Renyi hesitated for a moment and nodded:

"Your subordinate does feel curious, but there are many coincidences in this world. Perhaps it just happened to be so, and it can be considered that the Sanjue Sect was unlucky."

Lu Renyi said hastily, against his true feelings.

As for his true thoughts, naturally he cannot ask them.

However, Chen Yuan directly confessed:

"The destruction of the Sanjue Sect is indeed related to me."

Chen Yuan believed that not only he, but also Huang Tianshu, including those Jianghu Grandmasters, had such doubts in their hearts, but they did not dare to ask because of Chen Yuan's strength.

Even, the reason why they were so obediently willing to be engraved with restrictions was not without this reason.

"No wonder you are so calm, Lord Marquis. It turns out that you have been planning for this." Lu Renyi hurriedly smiled and complimented him a few times. As for whether Chen Yuan was related to the Dao God Palace, he really did not dare to ask.

And Chen Yuan would not tell him, leaving such a vague secret would be more deterrent to them, but he instructed:

"Don't spread this matter, understand?"

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, your subordinate is willing to make a blood oath of inner demons and will never reveal this matter!" Lu Renyi immediately stated, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.

"No need, step down first."

Chen Yuan closed his eyes.

"Your subordinate takes his leave!"

Lu Renyi bowed and retreated.

After the great battle, the Xuntian Division and even the entire Shu Prefecture city were silent. Many people knew what had happened, but few dared to leak it out.

However, after all, some forces spent a great price to learn about the situation of the battle in the Xuntian Division, which immediately set off a small hurricane.

The next day, to the surprise of most people, the recently established Shuxi Alliance changed ownership. The original Vice-Alliance Leader and Qin Zhan fell, and Huang Tianshu replaced them.

And the first thing he did after taking office was to lead the Shuxi Alliance to besiege Wan Jian Mountain.

Since Wan Jian Mountain no longer had a Yang God powerhouse, relying solely on the mountain-protecting formation could not stop those angry Core Realm Grandmasters, let alone Huang Tianshu.

On this day, Wan Jian Mountain was slaughtered!

The successive destruction of the Sanjue Sect and Wan Jian Mountain caused a huge shock in Shu Prefecture.

Wan Jian Mountain was fine, after all, it had already declined, and the strongest was only the Mountain Lord Qin Zhan. He was considered a figure in Shuxi, but in the entire Shu Prefecture, he could not even rank in the top ten.

But the Sanjue Sect was different.

It was now at its peak, the Sect Master Dong Lifang was expected to become a True Lord, and the Supreme Elder Zhao Yuantong was even on the Supreme Heavenly Rankings, and could definitely rank in the top few in Shu Prefecture.

The destruction of such a top force was definitely big news.

And even bigger news was still to come. The people who destroyed the Sanjue Sect were actually the extremely mysterious Dao God Palace. The one who took action was the Dao God Palace's Heavenly Sword True Lord, and the rogue cultivator Evil Ghost Old Man, who had already revealed his true identity.

They claimed that many of the people killed by the Sanjue Sect before were actually from the Dao God Palace. The reason for destroying the Sanjue Sect was actually to settle old scores.

As for the Sect Master Dong Lifang, he was killed in the Xuntian Division. Also killed was the Mountain Lord of Wan Jian Mountain, Qin Zhan.

Rumor had it that the Shuxi Alliance had gathered many Jianghu forces, felt strong, and wanted to suppress Chen Yuan by force, making him bow to the Shuxi Alliance and give up the territory of the Qianren Sect before.

As a result, they were rude and insulting, and Chen Yuan, who had 'treated them with courtesy', could no longer bear it and violently killed Dong Lifang. Afterwards, Qin Zhan and Huang Tianshu joined forces to fight Chen Yuan.

After a hard battle, Chen Yuan was seriously injured, but he still forcibly killed Qin Zhan. Later, Huang Tianshu was unwilling to suffer a mutual loss, and agreed with Chen Yuan to not invade each other. The Jianghu and the imperial court would not belong to each other.

Huang Tianshu also took this opportunity to completely take over the Shuxi Alliance, and his momentum was unmatched for a time.

However, the credibility of this rumor was unknown. Some conspiracy theorists even felt that this news was not true. In fact, Chen Yuan had suppressed Huang Tianshu, Qin Zhan, and Dong Lifang.

It was just that he did not want turmoil to occur in Shuxi, so as not to cause unforeseen circumstances, so he took the initiative to spare his life, but this was also exchanged at a great cost.

Compared with the previous rumor, obviously, this one was more credible.

Some people also felt that it was too coincidental that the Sanjue Sect was destroyed one step ahead, and Chen Yuan dared to take action the next step. He might have some connection with the Dao God Palace, but this trend was forcibly suppressed.

After two rounds of encirclement and suppression by the government and the imperial court, it quickly disappeared without a trace.

This time's Jianghu melee affected not only Wan Jian Mountain, but also the remnants of the Sanjue Sect, as well as many first-rate forces and ordinary forces.

Because the powerhouses in Shuxi were either dead or injured, there were no other True People in the entire Shuxi Jianghu except for two top forces. The Shuxi Alliance also expanded greatly because of this.

Those who did not submit were exterminated, and those who were willing to submit had to wear shackles and hand over half of their savings, which caused the Shuxi Jianghu to boil, but they could not do anything about it.

The two top forces had also joined the Shuxi Alliance before, but after Qin Zhan and Dong Lifang of the Sanjue Sect were destroyed, they had other ideas in their hearts and felt that Huang Tianshu was not worthy of being the Alliance Leader, and wanted to deal with him.

As a result, before they could start, they were 'suppressed' by Huang Tianshu and finally succumbed to the pressure and submitted to the Shuxi Alliance, adding a bit of strength to the Shuxi Alliance.

Relying on Huang Tianshu alone, naturally it was impossible to be so easy. In fact, Yang Huatian was secretly helping. The two True People were also engraved with primordial spirit restrictions and had to submit.

Chen Yuan maintained stability on the surface, and even warned the Shuxi Alliance not to act rashly and provoke Jianghu disputes, otherwise the government would take action, but behind the scenes, he was making a lot of money.

The strategy of ruling the Jianghu with Jianghu people was very effective. In addition, the strength was disparate. Although there were some riots, they were quickly suppressed by two forces.

At this point, Chen Yuan had completely controlled the entire seven prefectures of Shuxi, and his power soared!

Counting the three prefectures of Qingzhou and the two prefectures of Xuezhou, he now has eleven prefectures under his command, comparable to more than half of Qingzhou, and they are also connected together.

Placing it in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms a thousand years ago, he would have been qualified to claim the title of king and emperor!

As for the power he now belongs to, if all are counted, there is one Half-Immortal. Counting him, there are three True Lord battle strengths, namely Jiang He and his second uncle Chen Huaiyi. There are eight Refined Spirit True People, namely Su Ziyue, Yang Huatian, Li Suqing, Chu Changfeng, the Su family ancestor, Huang Tianshu, plus two True People who have just surrendered.

Counting it this way, the power gathered around Chen Yuan is already very terrifying, absolutely comparable to the level of a immortal sect, and can be regarded as initially having the power to protect himself.

Even if he were to fight for the world now, he could be considered a hero of one side!

Moreover, his power is still constantly expanding. There is not much in Qingzhou, after all, it is not solely in the hands of Jiang He, and because of the terrain of Qingzhou, blindly expanding the territory is not the best strategy.

But it is different in Shu Prefecture. Now the land of Shuxi is completely under control, and is currently being digested. There are still two internal agents in the prefectures of Shuzhong, the Shangguan family and the Liu family.

In addition, there is no True Lord at the moment, only four top forces exist. For Chen Yuan now, it is meat on the edge of his mouth, which can be swallowed at any time.

The reason for not doing so is that the land of Shuxi is being transformed, digesting the essence of this place. The second is that he does not want to be too conspicuous for the time being.

Anyway, as long as Mount Shu does not interfere, the prefectures of Shuzhong will be in his pocket!

With the many prisoners and soldiers in the seven prefectures of Shuxi, the elite iron cavalry in the Tangshan Mountains are expanding crazily under the accumulation of massive resources. In a short period of time, they have expanded to more than 70,000, and they are still being replenished.

The resources consumed by so many soldiers and horses are definitely a huge number, but Chen Yuan swept the essence of the seven prefectures and also obtained a massive amount of resources.

There is currently no pressure at all!

The Jianghu is still spreading about the mixed battle in Shuxi, and Chen Yuan behind the scenes is still absorbing the essence of Shuxi. In addition, in order to swallow the prefectures of Shuzhong in one bite.

He has ordered people to send letters to Shangguan Tiehong and Liu Zhenzong, asking them to secretly organize manpower and spread rumors, and it is best to form an alliance in Shuzhong.

When the time is right, he will go and pick the peaches.

This is the least lossy method, and it can also balance the strength below, not letting Huang Tianshu and the Shuxi Alliance escape from his palm!

On this day, Chen Yuan set up a few cups of spiritual tea in the side hall of the Xuntian Division. This tea was used to entertain Jiang He and Yang Huatian. Before coming, they had notified him.

As for the main hall of the Xuntian, although it is being built overtime, it has not been completely completed.

The void rippled, Chen Yuan's eyes did not move, he was still pouring spiritual tea. Jiang He in a white immortal robe and Yang Huatian in a black robe with a gloomy aura stepped out one after the other.

Forming a very contrasting feeling.

"Sit."

Chen Yuan pointed to the futon in front of him. Jiang He and the two were not polite and sat down cross-legged directly.

"How is the injury?"

Chen Yuan looked up at Jiang He.

After the last battle with the Sanjue Sect, Jiang He went directly into seclusion to heal his injuries. Today is the day he came out of seclusion, so Chen Yuan naturally wanted to greet him.

"Nothing serious."

Jiang He shook his head slowly. His injury this time was a backlash. In addition to healing his injuries, he was also comprehending the seventh sword, Zhuxian, which had not yet been fully practiced.

"That's good..."

Chen Yuan nodded, and then looked at Evil Ghost Dao Lord Yang Huatian:

"Fellow Daoist Evil Ghost, thank you for your hard work this time."

"It doesn't matter. Although those two sects have some skills, they can't stop me. And Huang Tianshu was assisting from the side. Breaking through their mountain gate's great formation is not a difficult task."

"That's natural."

Chen Yuan has never doubted Mo Luo's vision. Jiang He is the most outstanding person besides him. Yang Huatian and Li Suqing are at the bottom, but even so, they are definitely in the first echelon of the Refined Spirit realm.

Dealing with two top forces is not a big deal. This time, they are only relying on the mountain gate's great formation. Otherwise, they would not even need Huang Tianshu to take action. Yang Huatian alone would be able to solve it.

"You cultivate sword intent. There are many classics and good things in Wan Jian Mountain. They are all reserved for you. Come with me later." Chen Yuan said with a light smile.

"Okay."

Jiang He was not polite and nodded directly in agreement.

With their friendship, it can almost be considered the deepest in the Dao God Palace. Being polite would be estranging. Of course, this has to exclude Su Ziyue, because their relationship is not close, but negative distance.

"This time, you have controlled the seven prefectures of Shuxi, and your strength has greatly increased, but the more this is the case, the more careful you must be, so as not to capsize in the gutter." Yang Huatian picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, smiling.

Chen Yuan raised a smile at the corner of his mouth:

"With the seven prefectures of Shuxi in my hands, and the prefectures of Shuzhong even more in my pocket, with my current strength, it doesn't matter even if I capsize. I can start a rebellion at any time.

Chen is working hard for the imperial court, just to overthrow it one day and return the world to a bright future. How is this reason?"

"It's okay, but not the best."

Jiang He shook his head.

Doing so would only make people think that Chen Yuan is a wolfish ambitious guy, who can join the imperial court for power and rebel against the imperial court for ambition.

It is not suitable for his current reputation of dedicating himself to the fullest.

"What do you mean?"

Yang Huatian looked at Jiang He with a slightly suspicious expression.

Chen Yuan said: "Old Jiang wants me to find the evidence that Jingtai is the controller behind the Wusheng Cult. In this way, he can be completely nailed to death and the Sima family will completely lose the support of the people."

"Jingtai, Wusheng Cult?"

Yang Huatian raised an eyebrow.

Then, Chen Yuan told Yang Huatian his guess, and Yang Huatian's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously asked:

"Is this true?"

"Even if it's not true, Jingtai must not be that simple." Chen Yuan said.

"Even if it's not true, we must make it true. Only in this way will your reputation not be damaged due to rebelling against the imperial court."

Yang Huatian also knew the pros and cons.

This is the most beneficial choice for Chen Yuan!

Rebellion is not as simple as just talking about it. The immortal sects of the world, the Xiang family, the kings with different surnames, all forces, plus the Eastern Ying dwarves and the northern barbarians who are eyeing them, and the demon race in the south.

In terms of strength, can they all be suppressed?

There must be many preparations, whether it is strength, background, or reputation. It is best to have all of them. Only in this way can they be able to respond to every call, or quell the rebellion in a short period of time after taking down the base.

"I have already asked people to investigate and fabricate it." Chen Yuan looked solemn. He also wanted to find the Wusheng Cult's lair, but the difficulty was a bit too great.

In fact, he has already destroyed many Wusheng Cult sub-rudder, but even if his subordinates searched their souls, they could not find their lair. The Su family's ancestor is currently specializing in investigating this point.

If it were so easy to investigate, it would not have been a disaster for decades.

Therefore, Chen Yuan's other preparation is to fabricate, and pour dirty water on Jingtai as much as possible. As long as it is beneficial to him, the more hateful Jingtai is, the better.

"That's good." Jiang He nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Mingyu has already entered seclusion and started to break through. Are you sure you can do it when the time comes?" Yang Huatian smiled. He only heard about Chen Yuan's record.

He has not seen it with his own eyes, so he is not sure.

After all, Chu Changfeng is the Dao Lord in the Dao God Palace, his strength is already strong, and his background is very deep. Once he breaks through, he may be able to match the old True Lord.

"It doesn't matter, Fellow Daoist Mingyu can come as he pleases." Chen Yuan looked indifferent, not feeling anything unexpected at all. He is progressing, and when he gets the opportunity, he will progress even more!
