The people of Linhai Prefecture and the Duke of Linhai left. In order to avoid embarrassment, the Sixth Prince also got up and left.
Only the three people of the Zhao Clan, Shi Zhizhong, and Wu Mingjue were left in the meeting hall.
Zhao Lingxiao ordered, "County Duke Heyang, tell Shi Zhenbang to talk to Wang Daoyuan again.
As long as the Wang Clan sets things right, I will enfeoff the entire Qingli Prefecture to the Wang Clan and keep Jinyan City.
Wang Daoyuan himself will be conferred the title of County Prince Qingli, like the Duke of Linhai, hereditary.
Marquis Linchuan, go back to Greenwillow Prefecture and bring half of the subordinates we have trained here.
Remember, take them away from the edge of Tianzhan Mountain Range, so as to avoid any unpleasantness with the Wang Clan. "
The two bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Daoyuan studied his minor divine arts in the underground cave of Yuquan Peak.
He had already mastered the escape technique, so without some tempering, it would be difficult to improve.
The best way to improve his methods was to study the combination of minor divine arts and other methods.
Three days later, news came from the Twelfth Uncle.
When the cultivators of the Demon Execution Department were hunting demon beasts, they found more than twenty rank three flying warships in Greenwillow Prefecture, flying towards Wanchuan Market.
However, the flying warships did not enter Yannan Prefecture, but went south along the edge of Tianzhan Mountain Range.
Wang Daoyuan did not find it strange. Previously, Zhou Luan had sent news that the Zhao Clan had a new emperor.
The Ninth Prince had ascended the throne, so he naturally had to pull some of his subordinates over.
They did not enter the Wang Clan's territory, so Wang Daoyuan naturally did not care about this matter.
Soon, news came from the small market of Jingtie Mountain that Shi Zhenbang wanted to see him.
Wang Daoyuan did not plan to hide anymore. At this time, there was no need.
He directly let Shi Zhenbang come to Yuquan Peak and personally receive him outside Yuquan Peak like how he received Gu Wangzong.
Shi Zhenbang followed Wang Daoyuan into the hall. After sitting down, he went straight to the point, "Administrator, now that His Highness the Ninth Prince has ascended the throne, he is willing to confer you the title of County Prince Qingli.
Your position is the same as the Duke of Linhai, hereditary.
The entire Qingli County, plus Jin Yan City, is your fief.
I wonder when Your Highness, when will you mobilize your troops and join His Majesty in exterminating the three sects? "
Wang Daoyuan replied, "I'll say this first. If Your Highness the Ninth Prince is the leader, and the Zhao Family's strength is about the same as the three sects, I will naturally help the Zhao Family.
If the difference in strength is too great, I can only protect my family.
Now, the cultivators left behind by the three sects were not weak. Even if the Zhao Family attacked now, they would not be able to completely defeat the three sects.
There were still fifteen Golden Core Stage cultivators left at the Wucheng Pass. It was still unknown who was stronger.
It's still too early to talk about this. "
Shi Zhenbang knew that Wang Daoyuan wanted to see which way the wind was blowing, and also knew his attitude towards the Zhao Clan. Thus, Shi Zhenbang's mission was completed.
Following that, the two of them chatted idly and even discussed some matters regarding cultivation.
After chatting for twelve to twelve hours, Shi Zhenbang finally took his leave. Wang Daoyuan still sent him off a hundred miles away.
The next day, the Netherworld Sect could no longer sit still. Gu Wangzong came over again and chatted with Wang Daoyuan for a long time.
As long as Wang Daoyuan was willing to send troops to attack the Zhao Family, the Netherworld Sect could also include the northern part of the Heyang County into the Yannan County's sphere of influence.
Moreover, after destroying the Zhao Family, the territory near the Wanchuan Market could also be included in the Yannan County.
Wang Daoyuan patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be no problem. He immediately began to gather people.
After chatting for a few hours, Gu Wangzong was sent away.
As soon as Gu Wangzong left, Wang Daoyuan asked the Twelfth Uncle to send people to occupy the northern part of the Heyang County.
The cultivators of the families in the northern part of the Heyang County were all captured by the Sixth Prince's people as scapegoats.
More than half of those people were killed in the attack on the Three River Market. The rest of them were atoning for their crimes and had not yet returned. Only some rogue cultivators were taking advantage of the situation.
After the cultivators of the Administrator's Mansion drove away the rogue cultivators, they built the Guardian's Mansion in the Heyun Lake Market.
Previously, the Li Family and other families had sent their disciples to join the Administrator's Mansion as rogue cultivators.
Now, Wang Daoyuan appointed them to guard the Heyun Lake Market and stabilize the situation here.
It only took the Administrator's Mansion a day to completely control the entire northern part of the Heyang County.
The benefits promised by the Netherworld Sect had already been taken. As for sending troops, they still had to gather people, didn't they?
The people who were sent to rescue the Mysterious Crystal Mine had not been gathered yet. This matter could not be rushed.
Wang Daoyuan only took the benefits but did not do anything, which made the Netherworld Sect very angry.
But now they had to ask him for help, so they had no ability to do anything to Wang Daoyuan.
After being tricked by him, the Netherworld Sect still welcomed him with a smile.
However, they had also learned to be smart. They no longer gave actual benefits, but blindly painted a pie in the sky.
This made Wang Daoyuan feel a little regretful that he could not cheat the Netherworld Sect anymore.
At this moment, Zhou Luan received news from the Wucheng Pass.
The Song Kingdom should have known that the three sects had suffered heavy losses and almost all their assets. They no longer wanted to slowly exhaust the three sects' cultivators.
Instead, they wanted to defeat the three sects in one battle and then kill their way into the hinterland of the Zhao Kingdom, lest the Zhao Family's cultivators unified the Zhao Kingdom. Then, they would have no legitimate reason to annex the Zhao Kingdom's territory.
The Song Kingdom directly sent a fourth-grade flying warship to the north of the Wucheng Pass to suppress the three sects' cultivators in an attempt to completely block the logistical route between the Wucheng Pass and the Zhao Kingdom.
The three sects' cultivators originally wanted to exhaust the Song Kingdom. When the Song Kingdom could not afford it, they would naturally retreat.
The Zhao Family would not be able to take down the three sects' mountain gates in a short time.
No matter how big the trouble was, the three sects would not be destroyed.
The Zhao Family's cultivators used the old families' cultivators as scapegoats, which made the three sects' cultivators overjoyed.
If the Zhao Family wiped out these families, they would not have to worry about the old families seizing power.
However, the battle at the Three River Market had made them somewhat afraid. This had already shaken the three sects' foundation.
Moreover, the cultivators left behind to guard the Zhao Family had taken out all their assets, but they still could not completely eliminate the Zhao Family.
If this continued, the three sects would really be in danger of being destroyed.
The Song Kingdom's cultivators acted like they were cutting off their retreat route, forcing them to fight a decisive battle.
At this moment, they had no other choice. Even if they had to give up their territory to seek peace, they had to hurt the Song Kingdom.
The battle soon erupted. The Thousand Spirit Sect's cultivators took the lead.
They sent out spirit birds to destroy the flying warships.
They used the advantage of the spirit birds' speed to restrain the flying warships.
Since they were going to fight a battle between Golden Core cultivators, they had to hide their strength as much as possible.
Whoever revealed their trump cards first would be in a more passive position.
The spirit birds' method of dealing with the flying warships was excellent. The flying warships of the Song Kingdom could not completely cut off the three sects' supply line.
After a few days, Song Yan could no longer hold back and directly sent out Golden Core cultivators to deal with the spirit birds.
Unfortunately, not all late-stage Golden Core cultivators were like the Zhao Family, who could fight both humans and demonic beasts without being at a disadvantage.
The Song Kingdom sent out one or two Golden Core cultivators, but they were defeated by the spirit birds sent out by the Thousand Spirit Sect.
Apart from the imperial family, the Golden Core cultivators of the other factions in the Song Kingdom were inferior to the three sects in terms of inheritance.
Since everyone had the same cultivation, the level of inheritance had a great impact on their strength.
The cultivators of the Song Kingdom were not as strong as the cultivators of the three sects.
Song Yan no longer played with the strategy of adding fuel to the fire. He sent out five late-stage Golden Core cultivators to cut off the supply line.
The cultivators of the three sects also knew that they could not drag this out any longer, so they decided to have a showdown with the Song Kingdom.
Two Golden Core cultivators were left to guard the Wucheng Pass. The other thirteen attacked together and got rid of the five Golden Core cultivators of the Song Kingdom.
The Golden Core Cultivators of the Song State were prepared. Originally, Song Yan had brought 15 Golden Core Cultivators.
Originally, Song Yan had brought out fifteen Golden Core cultivators, but now, he had brought out his own backup.
However, the cultivators of the three sects had refined corpses and spirit beasts. Thirteen cultivators, seven spirit beasts, and five refined corpses. They were not at a disadvantage at all.
The two sides fought for an entire day. The Song Kingdom lost five Golden Core cultivators, while the Zhao Kingdom lost three Golden Core cultivators, one spirit beast, and one refined corpse. The two sides were evenly matched.
Song Yan was using this opportunity to exhaust the Golden Core cultivators of the other five factions of the Song Kingdom. He did not care about a few Golden Core cultivators dying.
However, the three sects did not dare to drag this out and could only ask for peace.
The two sides fought and stopped for more than a month before finally reaching an agreement.
The three sects ceded the Wucheng Pass and the two sides stopped fighting.
