Their reactions were all within Jianchen's expectations. After all, this was a great opportunity to establish ties with the Qin Empire. As long as they weren't idiots, they wouldn't give up on such a rare opportunity.
"From now on, the seven of you belong to the Qin Empire. Find a way to spread this news. If the Sect of Dragon and Tiger still comes looking for trouble, then you'll be making an enemy out of the Qin Empire. The Qin Empire won't just sit by and watch," Jianchen said.
"Yes!" The seven experts replied in unison.
"You can all disperse. I've already divided the areas on this map for the seven of you to govern. When the seven of you return, immediately begin cleaning up. As for what to do, I don't think I need to tell you." Jianchen gently smiled.
"We know what to do. Don't worry, Imperial Protector. We definitely won't disappoint you." The seven people solemnly swore.
After the seven experts from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom left, Jianchen looked at Qin Wuming and said, "General Qin Wuming, I wonder if my actions will cause any trouble for the Qin Empire?"
Hearing that, Qin Wuming chuckled and said, "Imperial Protector, you're looking down on my Qinhuang Kingdom too much. Although the Sect of Dragon and Tiger is quite powerful, other than a single Saint Ruler, none of the other experts are worthy of our Qinhuang Kingdom's attention. Our Qinhuang Kingdom is vast and has many vassal kingdoms, so we don't lack Heaven Saint Masters. As for the Saint Ruler from the Sect of Dragon and Tiger, there's no need to worry too much. Unless he has the ability to contend against the four Imperial Protector of my Qin Empire, he won't go against my Qin Empire over such a small matter. "
Jianchen completely relaxed after hearing Qin Wuming's words. He had been rather worried about whether this would cause trouble for the Qin Empire, but now it seemed like he had worried too much. After all, the Qin Empire had four Saint Rulers. Moreover, it was unknown whether there were other Saint Rulers hidden in the shadows. With such great power, there really weren't many organisations on the Tian Yuan Continent that dared to offend the Qin Empire.
Jianchen was in a very good mood now that the matter had been resolved perfectly. He stood up from his throne and said, "Everyone, let's disperse. We're not in a hurry to return. We'll stay here for a few days and deter the other organisations of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. It'll be convenient for the seven of them to take control of their own territories as soon as possible."
After the crowd dispersed, the news that the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was about to disband also spread throughout the imperial city, causing everyone who heard the news to feel incomparably shocked. Following that, this news spread to the entire territory of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom at an unimaginable speed. For a moment, all sorts of flying magical beasts used to transmit information filled the sky, spreading the news to every region of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. With the speed at which the news spread, the entire Heavenly Eagle Kingdom knew about this matter in less than a day.
The reactions of the commoners and organisations varied when they received the news. After a moment of shock, the commoners calmed down very quickly and continued with their lives. In their eyes, as long as they could continue living on the Tian Yuan Continent, it did not matter whether the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom existed or who ruled it. Most of them acted like it did not matter to them and did not care about it at all. Of course, there were a small number of patriots who were deeply attached to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. They even solemnly declared that they would not care if the kingdom lived or died. They were extremely dissatisfied with the Qin Empire's actions, but there were only a very small number of people like that. They were unable to cause much of a stir.
As for the large and small organisations, they all did the same thing without exception. They all called back all the people who were scattered outside and began to form factions, preparing for a grand scheme to fight for territory. This was because they could all see that the dissolution of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was an extremely rare opportunity for them. If they did not use this opportunity to recruit people and expand their organisations, they would not have another chance like this once the situation stabilised. Moreover, even the city lord's estates of quite a few cities had taken part in this. A few cities that boasted of their strength had already planned on becoming kings of their own territories, attempting to swallow up some of the weaker cities in the surroundings and establish a new kingdom.
In short, once the news of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom disbanding spread, it completely disrupted the original balance of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, causing the atmosphere in the kingdom to become extremely tense. Although everything was still very calm, anyone with brains knew that this was only the calm before the storm.
However, before these large and small powers could completely erupt into conflict, another shocking piece of news spread throughout the entire Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. This piece of news was like a bucket of cold water splashed over their heads, instantly extinguishing the flames of desire that burned fiercely in their hearts.
The Bukasanna clan, the Xiluo clan, the Bloodmoon Mercenaries, the Heaven and Earth Sect, the Luofeng Mountain, the Earthly Blaze School, and the Profound Weight School announced at the same time that they would take over all the territory of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. At the same time, they would submit to the Qin Empire and pledge their loyalty to the Qin Empire.
Currently, the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom still had seven surviving experts, and these seven experts belonged to these seven organisations. Without any exaggeration, these seven organisations were fully deserving of being the strongest existences in the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
Once these seven organisations interfered in the struggle for territory, the other clans would not have the slightest chance to make a comeback because they simply did not have the power to fight against a Heaven Saint Master. Moreover, these seven organisations had the support of the Qin Empire behind them. This caused the seven organisations to become undefeatable existences in the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, extinguishing any thoughts of resistance that existed in the hearts of the clans.
This piece of news caused the originally tense atmosphere in the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom to return to its former calm. This was because everyone understood that although the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had been dissolved, it was still under the rule of the Qin Empire. It was just that the method of management had changed, but the binding force was even stronger than the original order of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. What was certain was that even if a new Heaven Saint Master appeared in the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom in the future, their status would still not be able to threaten the seven organisations. This was because the seven organisations had the support of the Qin Empire behind them. As long as they did not lose the protection of the Qin Empire, the positions of the seven organisations would be unshakeable.
The fact that the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom would be divided into seven territories had already become an indisputable fact. When the last seven experts of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom returned to their clans and sects, they immediately began to move. They mobilised all of their forces to take over the territories that belonged to them.
Because they had the support of the Qin Empire behind them, the matter of the seven organisations reorganizing their territories was carried out very smoothly. All of the clans and sects that originally belonged to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom announced their allegiance to the seven organisations, or directly became their subordinate clans. This allowed the seven organisations to take over the entire territory of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom in less than three days.
Amongst them, the one that benefited the most was the Bloodmoon Mercenary Group. Aside from a Heaven Saint Master who could act as a front, the Bloodmoon Mercenary Group had the fewest Earth Saint Masters among the peak organisations of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. As a result, although the Bloodmoon Mercenary Group could be called a peak organisation of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, they were at the bottom of the hierarchy. In the past, they could only occupy a second grade city and rule over a mountain. It was very difficult for them to expand outwards.
But now, Jianchen's order had basically helped the Bloodmoon Mercenary Group expand their influence, allowing them to control a seventh of the entire territory of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom in an instant. Compared to before, their scale had increased by more than ten times. This caused the leader of the Bloodmoon Mercenary Group to be extremely excited.
It had already been four days since the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had split apart. In the original imperial palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the treasury, which was completely forged from refined steel, had been cut into ruins by thousands of craftsmen. The original three storey building had been reduced to two storeys. The entire third storey of the treasury had been cut into countless one-meter square pieces of iron, which were then stored into the spatial rings of the soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion.
As for Jianchen, ever since the division of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, he had completely handed over the remaining matters to the seven great organisations to handle. He no longer interfered and only placed his army here to suppress the situation, forming a deterrent. As a result, he had spent the past few days rather leisurely. He was only waiting for the situation to completely stabilize before preparing to withdraw his army and return to the Kingdom of Gesun.
At this moment, Jianchen was leisurely playing chess with Princess You Yue in the garden. Ever since that night when Princess You Yue had helped Jianchen think of a way to deal with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the two of them had unknowingly become much closer. At the very least, they were no longer as cold as before.
At this moment, Xiaotian hurriedly walked in front of Jianchen and said with a serious expression, "Imperial Protector, things are not good. Qin Wutian, who went to the Sunset Kingdom to capture the second prince, has returned. He's injured."
Hearing this, Jianchen's expression changed. He no longer cared about playing chess and turned to look at Xiaotian, asking, "What exactly happened?!"
"Qin Wutian was ambushed and is heavily injured. Moreover, the one hundred elite troops that left with him also suffered quite a few losses." Xiaotian said in a heavy tone, his expression very ugly. This was a public challenge to the dignity of the Qin Empire.
Jianchen's heart sank slightly. He immediately stood up and asked solemnly, "Where is Qin Wutian?!"
"In the Discussion Hall!"
Jianchen bid farewell to Princess You Yue and hurriedly left, hurrying to the Discussion Hall.
