The sixth prince's act of proclaiming himself emperor was no different from playing with a monkey, but it was quite attractive to those with uncertain attitudes.
For example, the Luo Family cultivators who redeemed themselves with merit might really throw in their lot with the sixth prince.
Back then, there were still many people who supported the sixth prince. More than half of the Zhao Family members under the Zhao Emperor supported the sixth prince.
There were also many small powers, such as the Gui Yuan Sword Sect, who were the sixth prince's hardcore supporters.
The majority of the JinDan and below cultivators led by Wang Daoyuan were nurtured by the Gui Yuan Sword Sect.
Among them, those with weak willpower or those with wild ambitions might throw in their lot with the Gui Yuan Sword Sect.
The Zhao Emperor was stationed at Nanli Mountain in the south of Zhennan County. There was a middle grade fourth grade non-attributed spirit vein here.
Two thousand li southwest of Nanli Mountain was the Hidden Dragon Mountain guarded by the Song Country and Thousand Spirit Sect cultivators.
The sixth prince sent a declaration to the Zhao Emperor, ordering the ninth prince to immediately abdicate and return the power to him.
As for the other Zhao Family members, those who abandoned the dark side and joined the light side would be forgiven.
Those who stubbornly resisted would be executed without mercy.
When the declaration came, the Zhao Family cultivators all cursed him.
Previously, he was cowardly and incompetent, which could only be considered a flaw in his character.
Now, he colluded with the Song Emperor and joined forces with the enemy who killed his father to attack his own brother.
This was no longer a problem of a flaw in his character, but rather a heinous crime.
Zhao Jingguo bowed to the Zhao Emperor, "Your Majesty, as a minister, I have the responsibility of disciplining my family members.
For such a scum to appear in my family, it is my dereliction of duty. Your Majesty, please punish me. "
The Zhao Emperor waved his hand, "As the emperor, I have the responsibility of educating the people.
For such a thing to happen, my responsibility is even greater.
Now is not the time to blame. Song Yan used sixth brother's name to unite with Thousand Spirit Sect and Cruel Sun Palace to bring disaster to the south.
If we can't control him, the Zhao Country will probably never have peace. "
Duke Linhai angrily said, "Expel him from the Zhao Family and leave none of his descendants."
The Zhao Emperor shook his head, "After the three sects' rebellion, the Zhao Family bloodline is already small enough.
He doesn't care about his descendants, but I can't bear to fight with them. "
Zhao Jingbang with a face full of wrinkles said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, but there is no need to be so magnanimous.
Ling Tian, this brat, is a coward who is lustful and greedy for power.
He was just an ingrate. No matter how well she treated him, it was useless.
I have been in the Song Kingdom for hundreds of years and know Song Yan very well.
This brat was like a hungry wolf. As long as he tasted a little sweetness, he would keep chasing and biting.
The only way to make him behave was to break his bones so that he wouldn't have any hope of making a comeback.
The number of Golden Core cultivators in the Song Clan was too few. In order to destroy his ambition, it would be best to kill a few more of them.
Let him not have enough resources to maintain stability, and let the Song Kingdom return to its state of disunity. "
Emperor Zhao nodded his head. "What Imperial Uncle said is reasonable. When the war starts, try your best to kill the Song Clan's Jindan cultivators."
Everyone agreed in unison.
Zhao Jingguo cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, since we want to kill the Song Family's Golden Core Stage cultivator, then we will need a top expert to act.
There were no particularly strong masters in the Kingdom of Song. Only Song Yan's strength was not to be underestimated. He should be about the same as that bastard Zhao Lingtian.
In addition to the Imperial Dragon Rebel, there were three peak experts.
There was also the Dark Nether Rebel. He had the Dark Water Black Turtle. Even outside the water, his strength should be above Ling Jiang.
However, the Dark Water Black Turtle's offensive power was not strong. Ling Jiang could barely stall the Dark Nether Rebel.
We only have His Majesty and me, two peak experts. Facing the enemy's three peak experts, it would be difficult to kill them.
In my opinion, we should transfer Duke Qingli and Zhong Zhenyang over.
Once the duke uses his minor divine ability and the Golden Crow, his strength will surpass that of Daoist Master Xuanming.
Last time, Zhong Zhenyang only used his minor divine ability to escape at the Nine Depths Mysterious Crystal Vein. His strength should not be below that of Daoist Master Yulong.
We should transfer them over so that we can kill the Song Clan's Jindan cultivators. "
Emperor Zhao pondered for a moment. "What Imperial Uncle said is reasonable. Duke Linhai, go to Lanyue Mountain and ask Duke Qingli and Zhong Zhenyang to come over.
You will temporarily guard Lanyue Mountain and prevent the enemy from threatening the Zhao Kingdom's hinterland. "
Duke Linhai cupped his hands in acknowledgment and left Nanli Mountain.
When he arrived at Lanyue Mountain, he conveyed Emperor Zhao's decree to Wang Daoyuan and Zhong Zhenyang.
The two didn't waste any time. After explaining the matters of Lanyue Mountain, they concealed themselves and rushed to Nanli Mountain.
When they arrived in front of Emperor Zhao, the two bowed. "Wang Daoyuan and Zhong Zhenyang greet His Majesty."
Emperor Zhao nodded. "You may rise."
Wang Daoyuan and Zhong Zhenyang thanked him in unison.
Emperor Zhao asked, "I have discussed with everyone. If we want to defeat the enemy, we must first break their alliance.
The Thousand Spirit Sect and the Cruel Sun Palace have no way out and will fight to the death.
If we want to break them, we must beat Song Yan into submission. This will require us to kill a few Song Clan's Jindan cultivators.
The rebel army has Zhao Lingtian, Daoist Master Yulong, and Song Yan, three peak experts. There is also Daoist Master Xuanming, who is slightly weaker.
I wonder if you two are strong enough to deal with these four? "
Zhong Zhenyang didn't dare to interrupt. Wang Daoyuan answered first. "Your Majesty, among these four, I have only seen Minister Zong fight with Daoist Master Yulong.
Even if I use all my strength, I won't be able to defeat him. "
Zhong Zhenyang continued. "I know a thing or two about the strength of the four and the County King.
In my opinion, the County King should be slightly weaker than the peak experts.
Outside of the water, he can defeat Daoist Master Xuanming.
The Zhao Clan's techniques and spells can somewhat restrain me.
Therefore, I don't have the confidence to deal with the Sixth Prince.
But against Song Yan and Daoist Master Yulong, I won't be at a disadvantage. "
Zhao Jingguo smiled. "That bastard Zhao Lingtian is as timid as a mouse. He won't dare to fight.
Your Majesty and Emperor Zhao are the rulers of a country and shouldn't act rashly.
In the beginning, the enemy will only send Daoist Master Yulong and Daoist Master Xuanming.
I can deal with Daoist Master Yulong and Lingjiang can also deal with Daoist Master Xuanming.
The County King and Fellow Daoist Zhong are very fast in killing the enemies. They can kill the Song cultivators as soon as possible. "
No one had any objections. They wanted to make some preparations and attack the rest of the Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince took the initiative to attack. The group left the Hidden Dragon Mountain and headed for Nanli Mountain.
Emperor Zhao naturally wouldn't let go of the benefits that came to him. He led the cultivators outside the mountain.
Of course, Wang Daoyuan and Zhong Zhenyang didn't show up directly. They hid three hundred miles north of Nanli Mountain.
When they came to Nanli Mountain, they hid their figures. The Song Emperor shouldn't know that they were here.
Their concealment techniques were very good. At this distance, Golden Core cultivators would have a hard time discovering them.
Soon, a large cloud flew over from the southwest.
The Song Emperor and the Sixth Prince both wore ceremonial robes and crowns.
Daoist Master Yulong, Daoist Master Xuanming, Daoist Master Earthflame, and four late-stage Golden Core cultivators of Song stood beside them.
The Sixth Prince spoke first. "Five hundred years ago, the three sects rebelled and attacked the country.
Before my father died, he ordered Zhao Jingguo to give me the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. This is to pass on the throne to me.
You actually disobeyed the late Emperor's edict and forced me to abdicate. This is a treacherous act.
As the saying goes, 'A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little support.'
I am the legitimate Emperor of Zhao State, a monarch of the Dao.
First, the Song Emperor helped me wipe out the rebels. Later, the cultivators of the Myriad Spirit Sect and the Cruel Sun Palace repented and were willing to be my vanguard.
If you still think that you are a descendant of the Zhao Clan, kneel and surrender.
I'll spare your lives for the sake of the bloodline of the Zhao Clan... "
Looking at his smug face, Zhao Jingguo couldn't suppress his anger and cursed, "You bastard who betrayed your ancestors. You're just a stray dog, yet you still dare to bark in front of His Majesty.
If you surrender now and follow me to the ancestral spirit, I'll still recognize you as a descendant of the Zhao Clan.
If you still refuse to come to your senses, I'll expel you from the Zhao Clan, you vile spawn. "
After saying that, a blue sword phantom condensed in his hand.
Daoist Master Yulong flew over on a cloud and angrily rebuked, "You dare to insult His Majesty, you traitor? I'll take you down and tie you to His Majesty to beg for forgiveness."
Daoist Master Yulong's hands were stained with the blood of the Zhao Clan. Now, he even boasted that he was a loyal subject of the Zhao Clan and called Zhao Jingguo a traitor.
