Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 754 Shaobai 27

In this battle, it seemed that Tianwaitian rashly sent troops and Beili was only hastily fighting, but in fact both sides were well prepared.

Even though Tianwai Tian acted rashly, in fact, the thirty-six sects outside the domain have long coveted the Central Plains. Especially in the past two years, the wool business in Beili and Nanjue has been in full swing. The thirty-six sects that have produced wool have been very envious and are even more unwilling to be the suckers, so when Tianwai Tian raised his hand, the thirty-six sects gathered to respond.

Emperor Tai'an had been the emperor for a long time, and although he was extremely reluctant to give up power and even played a balancing trick with his own sons, he was not a foolish ruler. So in addition to sending Crown Prince Xiao Ruofeng to lead troops to fight against the Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition, he also arranged for other people to guard against Nan Jue from taking advantage of the situation.

And Emperor Tai'an's arrangement really did not go to waste. After Wangcheng Mountain blocked 50,000 people from the Demon Cult, they turned to the southwest and faced the troops of Nan Jue. So everyone turned around and joined forces to deal with Nan Jue. Xueyue City, Wangcheng Mountain and Tang Sect had a continuous supply of medicinal powder for treating injuries, and even almost all the masters from Anhe came out and made many contributions.

Of course, the most brutal battle was fought by the main force of the Muliang City Demon Cult.

Nan Jue just wanted to take advantage of the situation and had no intention of launching a large-scale attack on Beili, so when their plan failed, they stayed put. There were not many casualties and losses, and there was not even much reaction in the country. People in the court only felt sorry that Beili responded too quickly, and were jealous that the quality and quantity of Beili's talents far exceeded theirs, Nan Jue.

The Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition ended with the massacre of the entire city of Muliang, along with the deaths of dozens of masters from Tianwaitian and Beili. Even though Yue Qing had mastered the Xu Nian Gong with the help of Baili Dongjun, and even though Ye Dingzhi and other masters from the Shenyou Xuan realm did not take direct action, there were also masters from the Shenyou Xuan realm among Beili's worshippers.

Even if those masters of the Shenyou Xuan realm who were worshipped by the Beili royal family did not take direct action, the eunuchs of the same generation as Zhuoqing who were in the Da Xiaoyao realm were able to beat her to death.

In this battle, Crown Prince Xiao Ruofeng apparently gained the greatest gains but also suffered the greatest losses, because most of the Nine Princes of Beili under Li Changsheng were killed or injured, and Xiao Ruofeng's own power seemed to have occupied an absolute advantage among the brothers, but what followed was an increasingly deep rift between him and Emperor Tai'an.

Originally, Xiao Ruojin wanted to take this opportunity to plot against Emperor Tai'an, or at least make him ill for a while, in order to avenge his old father who had shown mercy to Xiao Xie. However, because he noticed the deepening rift between Emperor Tai'an and Crown Prince Xiao Ruofeng, Xiao Ruojin, contrary to his usual behavior, tried his best to help Xiao Ruofeng win over the Ying Sect.

On the surface, the Demon Cult was severely damaged in this battle, and the Tianwai Tian group lost their leader, with only the White-haired Immortal Mo Qixuan and the Purple-clothed Marquis Zi Yuji being able to be counted on. Most of the places outside the domain were taken into Beili's possession. Beili can be said to have won a great victory. Emperor Tai'an had already secured his holy name by expanding his territory again.

In fact, the hidden danger within Beili was planted here. The struggle for the throne has not yet completely stopped, and the struggle for the next generation is already brewing.

When Xiao Ruofeng was alive, he might be able to subdue the group of people under his command, but if unfortunately one of Xiao Ruofeng's sons could not produce a person with as strong personal charm as Xiao Ruofeng, then everything Xiao Ruofeng experienced would only be repeated among his sons, and even become more intense.

Jiang Xinxin didn't know whether Xiao Chuhe could still give birth. Now Xiao Ruofeng already had a legitimate eldest son, Xiao Lingchen. She just didn't know whether this Xiao Lingchen was the "Sea King" that Jiang Xinxin knew.

The Crown Prince returned victoriously, and Emperor Tai'an did not do nothing. At least the deaths of several Beili princes were caused by others who were secretly instructed by him.

It's a pity that after this battle, Xiao Ruofeng completely won over the Zhenxi Marquisate and filled the vacant position in the army. Also, because the eldest prince, who had been leading the troops for many years, was seriously injured and almost died, no one among Emperor Tai'an's sons could compare with Xiao Ruofeng.

At this point, the little father-son relationship between Emperor Tai'an and Crown Prince Xiao Ruofeng had completely cooled, and some opportunistic court officials even rushed to work for Emperor Tai'an to restrain Xiao Ruofeng.

The chaos in the court had little to do with Jiang Xinxin. Now the Demon Cult's expedition to the east was blocked and its power losses were extremely serious. In contrast, the famous Xueyue City was rising.

Because the three city lords, Baili Dongjun, Li Hanyi and Sikong Changfeng, performed very well, and because they respectively made a name for themselves as the Drunken Sword Immortal, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal and the Spear Immortal, Snow Moon City gained the reputation of "the best city in the world".

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Xueyue City provided medicinal materials for the army to treat their injuries.

The reputation of Jiang Xinxin and Wangcheng Mountain is even higher than that of Xueyue City and the three city lords, but because Jiang Xinxin and Ye Dingzhi have already reached the realm of divine wandering and have opened up a gap with everyone else, she is in a class of her own. Ye Dingzhi is not completely counted as part of Wangcheng Mountain's forces, but Wangcheng Mountain is still as famous as Xueyue City for having a Taoist temple.

The Tang Sect, which also provided medicine for injuries, seized the opportunity for transformation under the inspiration of Tang Lianyue. They used to play with poisons and hidden weapons, but now they developed hidden weapons in secret. The hemostatic medicine given by Jiang Xinxin became the main export product of the Tang Sect, and also earned the Tang Sect overwhelming good reputation.

From poison to healing medicine, of course many people in the Tang Clan were not used to or even opposed Tang Lianyue's decision. But at this time, Tang Lianyue's prestige in the Tang Clan had completely suppressed those old men, and the old man also expressed great support for Tang Lianyue. The transformation of the Tang Clan was not as troublesome as Tang Lianyue had imagined.

After the Tang Clan's successful transformation, Old Master Tang and Tang Lianyue personally brought the Tang Clan's last Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus and went to Wangcheng Mountain to visit Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin accepted this hidden weapon which was said to be the best in the world, and asked Ye Dingzhi to draw a detailed structural diagram. She kept a copy of the structural diagram in the Sutra Library of Wangcheng Mountain, and sent the other copy back to the Tang Sect and handed it to Tang Lianyue.

As for the brothers Wang Yixing and Zhao Yuzhen, they almost became enemies because the title of Taoist Sword Immortal was briefly held by Jiang Xinxin. In the end, Zhao Yuzhen defeated Wang Yixing with his Taoism and won the title of Taoist Sword Immortal.

Wang Yixing had always wanted to give himself a name that sounded powerful, but he failed to accomplish this after several years. He could only accept an apprentice named Li Fansong and placed all his hopes on this cheap apprentice.

Everything in the martial arts world seemed to be developing in a good direction. Even the Dark River led by Su Changhe and Su Muyu showed enough sincerity to Emperor Tai'an, and spent a large sum of money to buy the deserted Muliang City as the destination for the Dark River after they came ashore.

Then Su Changhe and Su Muyu brought all of Anhe's methods of making hidden weapons, poisons and insects, and disguise techniques, and came to Wangcheng Mountain to ask Jiang Xinxin for advice.

Since Su Changhe and Su Muyu are so sincere, Jiang Xinxin will certainly not be stingy.

"First, you can create an escort agency to escort the enemy. Since you were all engaged in assassination work before, according to reverse thinking, you will have unparalleled advantages in protection tasks."

Su Changhe and Su Muyu looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing after they suddenly realized what was going on. They had never thought that their experience as killers could actually become an advantage.

"Next, if you want to quickly revitalize Muliang City, you must have enough foreign population, so the old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind after the Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition are your best choice."

Su Changhe seemed to be thinking about something, but Su Muyu couldn't help asking, "You didn't mention the orphans who lost their parents, but do you have any...explanation?"

Jiang Xinxin explained: "Whether it is Dark River or Shadow Sect, those children are given priority in training personnel. You made a deal with Emperor Tai'an to get ashore, so don't touch these red lines easily."

Su Muyu felt a little ashamed, but he and Su Changhe both took Jiang Xinxin's words to heart.

Jiang Xinxin continued, "Muliang City is built in the yellow sand, but it is close to the mountains and forests, so there must be abundant water sources underneath. You'd better survey everything in advance, so that you don't get too flustered when people arrive..."

Before Jiang Xinxin finished speaking, Su Changhe said, "Master, I'm afraid that we can't support a city just by running an escort agency. Do you have any solution? If you do, we will definitely not ask you to help in vain."

Jiang Xinxin waved her hand and smiled, "Your sincerity is enough. According to me, Muliang City does not have the ability to cultivate on a large scale, so if there are too many people, there will definitely not be enough food and water. Therefore, I suggest that you open up a trade route from Muliang City to the outside world. With the consumption of merchants coming and going, it will not be difficult to support a city."

"But Muliang City cannot be without its own unique or rare specialties. I don't know the specific situation of Muliang City yet, so I have to go there in person to confirm it. But it's probably cultivating some medicinal materials, similar to the Tang Sect selling finished medicines. Anyway, you have ready-made manpower here."
