After sending off the Zhao Family, Wang Daoyuan gave the Twelfth Uncle the task of changing the Wang Family.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal. Changing the name of the original Administrator's Residence to the Duke's Residence was enough.
He just told the families in his jurisdiction that in the future, Yannan County would be changed back to Qingli County. Wang Daoyuan would be conferred the title of Duke by the Zhao Family and would have the power to confer the title of Marquis in Qingli County.
This was also to tell the families that those who were obedient had the possibility of being conferred the title of Marquis in the future. Those who were disobedient would die immediately.
Ever since that year, the families didn't dare to go against the Administrator's Residence.
These families weren't the filial sons and grandsons of the Netherworld Sect. The old families were already dissatisfied with the Netherworld Sect.
The foreign families treated their milk as their mother and wouldn't have any loyalty to the Netherworld Sect.
Once the Duke's Residence's order was sent out, the families immediately stated that they would obey the Duke's Residence's orders and draw a clear line with the Netherworld Sect.
Also, they sent people to take over the territory in the southern part of Qingli County. That place had been swept by the Sixth Prince and now many of the spiritual mountains were empty.
It was a waste to leave it empty like this. It was better to send people to take it.
The more valuable spiritual mountains would be left for their families and the less valuable ones would be left for their subordinates.
After dealing with these matters, Wang Daoyuan returned to the underground cave.
Zhou Luan saw his royal robe and smiled: "People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, dogs run happily with bells.
Wearing this outfit, you really do look like a dog. "
"I say, Hall Master, you praise people with a stick?"
Zhou Luan mocked and ridiculed, "Does the County King find my words unpleasant? Then why didn't you marry the Zhao Family's granddaughter?
That's a princess, a County Princess. She's perfect as a Wangfei. "
Wang Daoyuan smiled: "You're still so jealous. What princess, County Princess can't compare to Hall Master. You're the Wangfei of Qingli County."
"Then what about my phoenix coronet and robe?"
"The outside world doesn't know of your existence? The Zhao Family is already in this situation. It's already not bad that they can gather my coronet.
After the country was restored, the phoenix coronet and robes would naturally be sent over.
Besides, when the Princess Consort came out into the open, there was no need for the State of Zhao to give her a phoenix coronet.
That eldest nephew of mine will definitely send you the phoenix coronet and robe. Most likely, the Zhou Emperor will also give you the title of Princess or Infanta.
Let's not talk about these things for now. Once the war starts, we don't know when we'll be free. Let's make the best use of our time to cultivate. "
He carried Zhou Luan into the house, and she did not resist.
Only then did Wang Daoyuan let out a sigh of relief. The issue of the marriage alliance with the Zhao Family had finally passed.
As for the matter of the Gui Water Nether Spring, it would be handled by Cui Ming, who was overseeing the northern branch of the Blood Shadow Mountain.
Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. He just had to open a big hole in the water storage space and draw the water out.
In order to remove the Yin Qi from the Darkwater River, he only needed to draw out a portion of the spring water from the Gui Water Nether Spring.
The remaining spring water did not have enough pressure, so it would be fine if it did not gush up.
A day later, Zhou Luan received the news that the Yin Qi from the Netherworld Sect's Darkwater River had disappeared, which spread throughout half of the Zhao Country.
Soon, Cui Ming's clone also returned to the range of Wang Daoyuan's panoramic perception.
Wang Daoyuan checked his memories. The matter had been completed. Cui Ming had cut a hole with a diameter of more than three feet above the water storage space.
Wang Daoyuan also sent a message to the Zhao Emperor, saying that the matter of the source of the Yin Qi from the Darkwater River had been resolved.
After half a month, Zhou Luan's intelligence showed that the Netherworld Sect's disciples below the Golden Core stage had begun to panic.
Even some Purple Mansion Elders from old families had begun to express goodwill to Wang Daoyuan through various channels.
A month later, Luo Jiuyou sent a message to Wang Daoyuan, making a promise.
As long as Wang Daoyuan could restore the Yin Qi from the Darkwater River, after the three sects destroyed the Zhao Family, Qingli County and Heyang County would be handed over to the Wang Family.
Moreover, the position of Sect Master of the Netherworld Sect would be given to him.
Wang Daoyuan didn't believe the nonsense of the Netherworld Sect. These bastards even wanted to suppress the cultivators of their own family, let alone an outsider like him.
Let's not talk about others, just take Zhou Qi for example.
Two hundred years ago, he was already a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator and served as the guardian of Qingli Market. At that time, he was at most a hundred years old.
Back then, when he participated in the duel between the two sects at Pine Elm Mountain, he beat up the middle Purple Mansion Realm cultivator of the Setting Sun Palace Palace. Although his talent wasn't top-notch, he was definitely a first-rate genius.
If such a talent was placed in another power, he would be a Golden Core seedling that was heavily nurtured.
Now that he was three hundred years old, he should have formed his core long ago.
But now, nearly two hundred years had passed, and he had just reached the late Purple Mansion Realm.
The promises of the Netherworld Sect's Golden Core cultivators couldn't be trusted.
Wang Daoyuan directly sent a message back, rejecting Luo Jiuyou.
In any case, his own clansmen who had joined the Netherworld Sect had been transferred to Qingli Market by Wang Daoyuan as the Grand Elder of the Netherworld Sect when the Administrator's Office was established.
Luo Jiuyou wanted to disgust him, but he couldn't find a way.
A few days later, Zhong Yaoting, Zhong Zhenyang's grandnephew, sent a message to Wang Daoyuan. He didn't say anything, but just wanted to get close to him.
He thanked Wang Daoyuan for giving him the corpse core, which helped him to form his core successfully.
This was a show of goodwill, which meant that some of the high-level Golden Core cultivators of the Netherworld Sect were also uneasy.
Three days later, Gu Wangzong also sent a message to talk about their previous friendship.
Wang Daoyuan had a lot of dealings with him, since he helped the Netherworld Sect refine the flying boat when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage.
After forming his core, Gu Wangzong would come to the Administrator's Office to discuss anything that happened to the Netherworld Sect.
Of the four lineal families of the Netherworld Sect, the Luo family held the power of the Netherworld Sect, so they were naturally unwilling to surrender.
The only remaining Golden Core cultivator of the Ming family died in the battle at Wucheng Pass, so there was no one from the Ming family in the high-level management.
However, Ming Huai, who had dealt with Wang Daoyuan, still sent a message.
Of the four lineal families of the Netherworld Sect, three of them had the idea of leaving a way out.
The entire Netherworld Sect had already lost its people. After all, the Yin Qi was gone, and the Netherworld Sect had no future.
It was meaningless to continue to hold on.
Even if they could survive this disaster, they would still fall apart in the future.
Emperor Zhao's promise had also been announced to the whole country.
Except for the Luo family, no one was willing to continue to fight.
Wang Daoyuan immediately sent a message to Emperor Zhao, informing him of this matter.
Now it was time to attack the Mysterious Crystal Mine and force the Netherworld Sect to surrender.
Emperor Zhao was also very decisive. He immediately mobilized his forces and gathered them in Golden Goose City.
Golden Goose City was only ten thousand miles away from the Mysterious Crystal Mine, and it was a fortress, so it was heavily guarded.
It was extremely suitable to use it as a logistics base.
On the side of Shanbei Guiyuan Sword Sect, Zhao Lingyan also rushed to Golden Goose City with four third-order flying warships and a dozen flying boats.
Now the three forces of Golden Goose City were gathered together, and they were not subordinate to each other, so it was inevitable that there would be conflicts.
Wang Daoyuan, as the master of Golden Goose City, naturally had to go and take charge.
He brought five third-order flying warships. Half of the warships were controlled by the cultivators of the Battle Division, and the other half by the Devil Slaying Division.
Among the cultivators of the Battle Division, there were also some members of the Wang family, and the rest were members of various families.
The cultivators of the Devil Slaying Division were basically rogue cultivators.
The members of the Wang family, the families of Qingli County, and the rogue cultivators were the main factions under the command of the Duke Mansion.
With such an arrangement, all the factions under the command of the Duke Mansion had people participating in the battle.
After arriving at Golden Goose City, Wang Daoyuan, as the Duke Mansion, was second only to Emperor Zhao and the crown prince in the Zhao family.
Naturally, he was in command of Golden Goose City, and Zhao Lingyan had no objection.
Wanchuan Market sent a lot of people, led by Zhao Jingguo, Zhao Lingjiang, Gu Chengfeng, and two late Jindan Stage cultivators of Linhai State.
The arrival of these people was within Wang Daoyuan's expectation.
After all, the strength of Zhong Zhenyang of the Netherworld Sect was extremely high. If there were no top masters, they would not be able to resist.
If Zhong Zhenyang seized the opportunity to kill a few Jindan Stage cultivators of the Zhao family, things would be troublesome.
To Wang Daoyuan's surprise, the Sixth Prince also came to Golden Goose City.
After asking around, he found out that this guy volunteered to come.
After the Ninth Prince succeeded the throne, he did not treat him unfairly and conferred him the title of Marquis Zhennan.
It seemed that he really wanted to make some contributions and become a Duke in the future.
