"All troops, attack!"
In the vast desert, Xiang Liang, dressed in golden armor, held a flag and a spear and issued a declaration of decisive battle to the Western Continent army in the sky.
Behind Xiang Liang was a large army mixed with Western Continent people, Nine Regions people, and even creatures from the special world. Following Xiang Liang's order, they mightily rushed to the other side of the desert.
This was an expeditionary army from Nine Regions that crossed the endless sea. Although they had just experienced a fierce battle with the Immortal World, most of the soldiers had not recovered from their injuries. Bandages and plasters could be seen everywhere in the gaps of their armors. Although their appearance was far from gorgeous, their morale was high and completely above their opponents.
The gods of the Pantheon had indeed unified the Western Continent early on. However, this kind of rule based on sucking the marrow out of the bones obviously could not last long. After Golden King was defeated and retreated to Nine Regions, the resistance forces in the Western Continent sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Then, of course, they were ruthlessly suppressed by the gods. Several times, the Western Continent people, like domesticated wolves, lost their blood and became completely like meat dogs, waiting to be slaughtered.
In the face of such an opponent, even if Nine Regions came up with a group of defeated soldiers, they would still have an overall advantage. Not to mention that most of the people in the expeditionary army had gained a lot of benefits when the Immortal King fell. Although their injuries had not yet healed, their strength and stage had been improved.
The confrontation between the two armies only took half a day to determine the outcome of the battle. The Western Continent army was completely routed. Xiang Liang mercilessly gave the order to pursue and kill the enemy. They chased the enemy for thousands of miles and completely annihilated them.
After the war, the expeditionary army reveled for three days to celebrate this decisive victory. Only Xiang Liang looked lonely and there was no joy on his face. When asked, he could only smile bitterly without saying anything.
The victory was certainly a victory, but the victory was just a cold leftover. The real feast had already been enjoyed by the others long ago.
Before the expeditionary army landed in the Western Continent, Aya and Golden King had led a few elites of the expeditionary army directly to the Pantheon and cut the group of gods who were sucking the marrow out of the bones … That battle was really earth-shattering. Although Golden King and Aya were the nominal leaders, their cultivation base was not high in the battlefield — the real main force was Wang Wu who had restored the three thousand King Pill and the people of the Immortal World who surrendered to Nine Regions. With these strong soldiers and fierce generals, the Pantheon, which was once comparable to the Immortal World, was smashed into the mortal world by the people of Nine Regions, creating a terrifying pit in the Western Continent. Even the surrounding thousands of miles were corroded by the fallen Pantheon and turned into a desert.
As for the army commanded by Xiang Liang, it was more like a sweeper after the war. It could not be said that it was meaningless, but it was obviously not comparable to the battle in the Pantheon.
When he thought that he inherited the flag of the strongest army in Nine Regions, but could not show his skill on the real battlefield, Xiang Liang naturally did not feel happy. However, the current Royal Soldier Sect really could not afford a heavier burden. In the war against the Immortal World, Royal Soldier Sect suffered the most losses. Twice they formed the Red Guards, and both times they were nearly wiped out. The tragedy of Royal Soldier Sect was comparable to the catastrophe of Spirit Sword Mountain. The reason why Xiang Liang was able to shoulder the position of the Sect Leader was also because those loyal ministers who had assisted Kuqin had long since died.
After three days of revelry, Xiang Liang led the army back to Nine Regions. After a long sigh with a mysterious person, his fighting spirit was rekindled.
"However, in the past, the ancestors could cut through the thistles and thorns and lay the foundation of Royal Soldier Sect, so why can't I do it again in my hands? The Western Continent expedition is just the beginning. In the new world, there must be endless battles waiting for me. "

The Western Continent expedition was a disaster for the Pantheon and even the Western Continent. However, in the eyes of many people in Nine Regions, it was just an episode in the post-war reconstruction. After defeating the Immortal King, the self-confidence of the people of Nine Regions completely exploded, and they didn't put the people of Western Continent in their eyes at all.
However, the significance of this expedition was very far-reaching. First, it was to cut off the last worry. From then on, no one in the world could threaten the safety of Nine Regions. Second, as a spoil of war, the Western Continent was actually very fertile. Although because of the face of Golden King, there was no way to directly merge this continent together, after the Western Continent was plundered by the Pantheon, Golden King often felt bored with this land that was no longer complete. Coupled with the bait that a certain spirit of Nine Regions constantly threw out, it seemed like abandoning his hometown to merge with Nine Regions was just around the corner.
With the Western Continent, the next major plan of Nine Regions would have a bit more chance of success.
Above the clouds in Ten Thousand Arts Sect.
In the position that once belonged to Supreme Tian Lun, there was now a young figure. However, compared with Supreme Tian Lun, who was always calm and collected, the temper of this successor seemed to be very violent. He kept roaring at a communication talisman.
"Is there a new calculation task? We haven't finished the backlog of tasks from half a month ago, and now there's a new one? How many batches is this? It's the thirteenth batch! Are you trying to force people to die? Is the life of an intellectual not a life? Tell Wang Lu not to push his luck! We, the people of Ten Thousand Arts Sect, are engaged in academic research, not his human calculator! If he wants to calculate the best path to cross the Wall of Worlds, let him do it himself! "
After roaring, Zhan Ziye took a breath, and then his expression gradually became cold. Countless numbers and symbols flashed in front of his eyes, and his mouth also muttered something. The whole cloud began to flash with lightning, responding to his command at the fastest speed.
Zhou Mumu, who watched all this from the side, couldn't help but laugh. "Pfft, you belong to the type of person who says no, but your body is very honest. On one hand, you complain that Wang Lu has made you a cow and a horse, but on the other hand, you can't help but see the calculation task that he gave you."
Zhan Ziye snorted. "This is academic spirit, what do you know?" Although he said that, his tone involuntarily softened. If the current Ten Thousand Arts Sect saw this, they would definitely sigh with emotion that the Ten Thousand Motionless Immortal Heart of this new Sect Leader must have been cultivated to a dog's body.
Zhou Mumu couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha, good, good, good. You're good at academics. Then I'll give you a problem, why don't you calculate it?"
Zhan Ziye was very confident in this kind of provocation in his field of expertise. "Let me hear it."
"What day do you think is better for our wedding?"
"Poof!"

On the other side, in the center of the Nine Regions, Qiong Hua slowly walked down the altar. There were still a few beads of sweat on her forehead.
Even with her current strength, the sacrificial ceremony just now was still extremely strenuous — because it should have been completed by a Supreme level powerhouse like He Tu. Although she inherited the position of Sect Leader of He Tu, and in terms of pure fighting ability, she didn't lose too much to He Tu, but her essence was, after all, far worse than a real Supreme.
Naturally, many of her fellow sect members were puzzled by this. Jianglu, who had now been promoted to the position of Elder, asked, "Senior Sister Sect Leader, right now, there are many things to do in the Immortal Sect, so there's no need to waste too much time and energy on the sacrificial ceremony of the Nine Regions, right?"
Qiong Hua lightly glanced at him. "Do you think it's not necessary?"
Being stared at by her, Jianglu suddenly felt guilty. "I just think …"
"You just think that Shengjing Sect shouldn't be so submissive to someone? Jianglu, haven't you seen where the future of Shengjing Sect lies? "
Cold sweat kept pouring down from Jianglu's forehead, but at this moment, he had no choice but to boldly say, "But Shengjing Sect has always been unyielding, even if …"
"Even if the cooperation with Wang Lu can benefit the common people, do you still have to maintain the face of Shengjing Sect and resist to the end? Right now, Wang Lu needs Shengjing Sect, but Shengjing Sect needs Wang Lu even more. I know that some of these words are not your original intention, but some people pushed you out. Go back and tell them that I don't want to hear anyone make any similar sound again, understand? "
After sending away Jianglu, Qiong Hua stood on the altar for a long time.
Just now, those words were naturally said to someone, but it seemed that he had no intention to respond — in recent years, he spoke less and less. Most of the time, he just listened.
Perhaps this was inevitable. To transform a living person into a land spirit, especially a huge thing like the Nine Regions, it was almost inevitable that he would be assimilated by the earth and lose his humanity.
Thinking of this, Qiong Hua was somewhat sad. Her relationship with Wang Lu had never been harmonious. However, losing such an opponent really made her feel lonely.
"Wang Lu, if you really want to stop at the level of the land spirit of Nine Regions … When we reach the new world, I will surpass you."
