Ao Shun's wound was staunched as he was brought away.
The countless spectating cultivators remained silent for a long time as they looked at the distant Gu Hai. Nearly all the cultivators found this strange.
Such a ferocious person had not appeared in the Thousand Islands Sea for eight hundred years.
Just one dragon could sweep through nearly all the islands in the Thousand Islands Sea. However, there were four thousand dragons this time. Furthermore, there was a legendary expert who opened a heavenly palace.
No matter which island it was, they would not be able to deal with it.
However, the Nine-Five Island's Island Master easily dealt with it. The first time was a fluke. What about the second time?
"Master, the Han Dynasty has been recruiting cultivators. This disciple would like to go and try!"
"Father, the Han Dynasty is growing stronger by the day. The Dahan Emperor is even more powerful. This child wants to join the Han Dynasty. Our clan cannot remain in a barren place like the Thousand Islands Sea forever. I want to follow Gu Hai and establish a great clan!"
"Martial Uncle, please tell my master that I am not going back. I want to stay in the Han Dynasty!"
…
…
…
Many cultivators suddenly yearned for the Han Dynasty. It had only been established one year, and it could already repel dragons. What would happen in the future?
The fog slowly encased the distant Dahan Imperial Palace. However, the eyes of countless cultivators grew increasingly brighter.
As for the Han Dynasty's crisis? Forming a grudge with the Dragon Race? Some people worried. However, even more people thought highly of Gu Hai. After all, Gu Hai's legend was based on the earlier battle.
More than one year ago, Xiao Chen had already made a name for himself in the Innate Puzzle World. Then, the great war on Nine-Five Island became even more impressive. Xiao Chen suppressed countless cultivators and established the Han Dynasty. Now, the Han Dynasty stood undefeated against dragons. Everyone believed that Gu Hai would make the Dahan Empire stronger.
More importantly, the Han Dynasty's salary was extremely generous. There was also the Spirit Spring. What were the cultivations of the Han Dynasty's officials? But in the past year, the Han Dynasty had been very generous with their resources. After soaking in spirit spring water, most of them had already reached the Greater Heaven stage.
In the Han Dynasty, there were countless hopes. However, in the Thousand Islands Sea, their sects were still the same.
After today, Chen Tianshan's recruitment mission would become more important.
Fog shrouded the area.
Sima Changkong led a group of subordinates to the Soaring Palace Hall's plaza.
"Mr. Sima, thank you for earlier!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Mr. Goode, you're too kind. I'm more of a hindrance than a help!" Sima Changkong smiled bitterly.
"Since Mister Sima is so considerate, it means you're helping! Hehe, Mr. Sima, you've come from afar. Why don't you stay in the Dahan Palace for a while? I'll be a good host, "Gu Hai said with a smile.
"No, the battle between Jinmu Of Silla and Lü Yang is imminent. I've already wasted a lot of time coming here. I'll be going back soon!" Sima Changkong shook his head.
"Oh? Alright! "Gu Hai's expression turned solemn as he nodded.
Exterminating the Dragons was only Gu Hai's third step to deal with Lü Yang. Relatively speaking, Gu Hai still hoped to destroy the Da Ying Dynasty as soon as possible.
"Oh right, what are you going to do with Ao Shun?" Sima Changkong asked curiously.
Gu Hai looked at Ao Shun, who was not far away. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ao Shun? He'll stay with me for the time being! "
Sima Changkong nodded. "Be careful. Ao Sheng is not an ordinary person. Today, I had no choice but to compromise in order to stabilize the Dragon Tribe and not bear the crime of killing my brother. However, in the future …!"
"I know. I'm just playing a trick this time! I'll be careful. However, if Mr. Sima wants to go back, you better hurry! "Solemnly Gu Hai said Gu Hai.
"Oh?"
"I've already let Lu An go. He was rescued by a Sin Dragon. He should be heading straight for Yingzhou now. He and the Sin Dragon brought back two pieces of bad news. First, the Dragon Army was destroyed. Second, Mo Yike is a Da Qian spy!" Solemnly Gu Hai said.
"Hmm?" Sima Changkong narrowed his eyes.
"Hence, you better go as fast as you can and cooperate. As for how effective it will be, I don't know yet. However, isn't it a good thing to create some chaos for them?" Smiling, Gu Hai said.
"That's right. Mo Yike? Ha! It's good to create some trouble for him. He is Lü Yang's top strategist! "Sima Changkong's eyes lit up.
"Goodbye!" Sima Changkong said with a slight bow and a smile.
Gu Hai bowed slightly.
Taking out the flying ship, Sima Changkong's group steered the flying ship and soared into the sky. They charged out of the ritual array and headed for the Divine Continent.
Outside Nine-Five Island, the Dragon Army circled the flying ship as it headed northwest.
The Dragon Crown Prince Ao Sheng was on the flying ship.
Ao Sheng stood on the deck with a group of Dragon Race elders in front of him.
When the elders saw Ao Sheng, they all bowed sincerely.
"Many thanks, Crown Prince!" the group of elders said sincerely.
"Many thanks, Crown Prince!" The group of sin dragons flying at the periphery also looked respectfully at Ao Sheng.
The group of dragons thanked Crown Prince Ao Sheng for backing down. Due to Crown Prince Ao Sheng's backing down, Ao Shun managed to survive.
This was especially so for Uncle Gen and Uncle Lin, who showed sincere expressions. They showed expressions of sincere submission.
"Everyone, what are you talking about? That is my royal brother. How can I watch him suffer? Only, sigh! Alas, I still could not save my royal brother! "Crown Prince Ao Sheng said bitterly.
"Crown Prince, you have already done enough!" Elder Gen said respectfully.
"Indeed. It is all because that Gu Hai is too crafty. Sooner or later, he will return the favor!" Elder Lin said through clenched teeth.
"Our Dragon Race is humiliated. It is all Gu Hai's fault!" the group of dragons said hatefully.
"Hah! It is all because of my incompetence!" Crown Prince Ao Sheng said bitterly.
Elder Gen shook his head and said, "Crown Prince, you cannot be blamed for this. Ao Shun fell for Gu Hai's trick. Crown Prince only chose to compromise for your elder brother's sake. You cannot be blamed for this. "
"Indeed. If not for Ao Shun being restrained, Crown Prince would not have compromised!" Elder Lin immediately spoke up for Crown Prince Ao Sheng.
Ao Sheng looked at the two and nodded. "Never mind. Let's not talk about this for now. When we return, I will go to Daqiansheng and ask for him. I believe that Gu Hai will not dare to harm my royal brother again!"
The group of dragons nodded.
After that, they went about their business.
However, Crown Prince Ao Sheng walked to the end of the deck and looked at the distant Nine-Five Island.
As Crown Prince Ao Sheng looked at Nine-Five Island, he did not get angry at Gu Hai. Instead, he showed a faint smile.
"Gu Hai? Should I blame you, or should I thank you? Hah! "Crown Prince Ao Sheng muttered with a faint smile.
Although Ao Sheng had compromised in today's battle, he had won the hearts of all the Dragon Race because of this compromise. Now, the Dragon Race recognized only Crown Prince Ao Sheng.
Nine-Five Island, Dahan Palace:
After dealing with the threat of the Dragon Race, Gu Hai quickly dealt with the backlog of administrative matters in peace.
Crown Prince Guqin, who was the regent, dealt with most of the administrative matters. However, there were some matters that the crown prince was not qualified to interfere with, requiring Gu Hai to deal with personally.
In the study:
Gu Hai sat behind a desk. A group of important officials of the Han Dynasty and the crown prince stood in front of him.
Zuo Lieshu was Gu Hai's most trusted manager in the past. Now, he was a powerful official.
Zuo Lieshu was Guqin, Gao Xianzhi, Chen Tianshan, Montes, and the others.
In the past year, Montes had purged many corrupt and bribed officials. Many of them were the relatives of the important officials before him. Montes stared at this group of important officials. Xiao Chen had already prepared all sorts of evidence to prevent these important officials from reporting him, so that he could deal with them.
However, these former managers were all old people who followed Gu Hai. They were all shrewd people and understood Gu Hai very well. The Embroidered Uniform Guards were used for internal matters. Now, the Han Dynasty was flourishing. Although they killed many of their relatives, that was because they were seeking death. Xiao Chen already said that they should not be corrupt and take bribes. To think that they still tried to interfere. Furthermore, the Han Dynasty had just been established. Not only did these managers hold high positions and authority, but they also broke through to the Innate Realm and had hope of reaching immortality. Those relatives seeking death should just bear the consequences of their actions.
Although Montes felt nervous, the important officials discussed some important matters with Gu Hai. However, they did not mention anything about the purge of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Your Majesty, over the past half-year, Nine-Five Island has been unified. Although those mundane nations put up some resistance, they quickly compromised due to the general trend," Gao Xianzhi said with a smile.
"Gao Xianzhi, you did well!" Gu Hai praised with a smile.
Back then, the Song Nation's War God was extremely skilled at leading troops in battle. In a short time, he used the resources of the Han Dynasty to complete the mission that Xiao Chen gave him. He indeed deserved a reward.
"This official is just doing his duty!" Gao Xianzhi said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, after the Dragon Race retreated a few days ago, more cultivators came to apply for positions in the Dahan. The number of people is increasing every day. Now, my Dahan is accepting all the people from all over the world! "
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The Thousand Islands Sea is barren in the end!"
"Huh?" Everyone felt confused.
"However, we cannot just let the Thousand Islands Sea go. Chen Tianshan!" Gu Hai said seriously.
"This official is here!"
"Of the two thousand Passion Flower Tree Demons, twenty of them are from the Yuanying State. These tree demons will cooperate with you for now. Recruit soldiers in the Thousand Islands Sea!" Gu Hai said seriously.
"Yes!" Chen Tianshan answered with some curiosity.
"The cultivators of the Thousand Islands Sea are weak and scattered, causing the factions of the Divine Continent to feel disdain for them. However, I need them. Gather the scattered sand. I need the boundless strength of cultivators. Recruit soldiers for me. No matter what method you use, the more, the better. I need to see a large army of cultivators as soon as possible! "Gu Hai said seriously.
"Yes!" Chen Tianshan answered.
"Imperial Father, you want to march into the Divine Continent?" Guqin asked out of curiosity.
"That's right. The Thousand Islands Sea is too small. The Han Dynasty needs to be strong. One Thousand Islands Sea is far from enough. We need to march into the Divine Continent! "Gu Hai said seriously.
"What about our Nine-Five Island?" Guqin asked with a frown.
After all, this was where the Han Dynasty made its fortune.
"Everything depends on the future. If necessary, we can move the capital!" Gu Hai said seriously.
"Hey, actually … actually, we don't have to move the capital. Your son has an idea!" Guqin said with a frown.
"Oh?"
"Your son obtained Old Man Guanqi's inheritance. There is a large ritual array. It can lift up the entire Nine-Five Island and make it float like a flying ship. However, it moves very slowly! "Guqin explained.
"Oh? There is such a ritual array? "Gu Hai's eyes lit up.
"Yes. However, it requires too many spirit stones. One billion superior-grade spirit stones every year!" Guqin said bitterly.
"One billion superior-grade spirit stones every year?" Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
After all, the Divine Foothill Dynasty had accumulated only two billion superior-grade spirit stones over several hundred years. Setting up a ritual array required one billion every year?
"Yes. This ritual array also requires the Heavenly Go Stone shards. One billion superior-grade spirit stones every year is not only enough for the floating island but also for a Dahan divine tool. To be more precise, of the one billion superior-grade spirit stones every year, nine hundred million are used to support the Dahan divine tool operating the ritual array!" Guqin said Solemnly.
"The Heavenly Go Stone shards?" Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
"Yes. I found them after obtaining Old Man Guanqi's inheritance. It turns out that Old Man Guanqi broke the Heavenly Go Stone into one thousand and eighty-nine pieces and merged them into one thousand and eighty-nine treasures," Guqin said seriously.
"One thousand and eighty-nine? Isn't that the same as the number of islands in the Thousand Islands Sea? "Montes asked out of curiosity.
"One thousand and eighty-nine? Thirty-three multiplied by thirty-three? Could it be that the thirty-three Unhindered Worlds …? "Gu Hai frowned slightly as he pondered.
"Imperial Father, according to the inheritance, Elite Hall has five divisions. The five division tokens are actually five treasures with one Heavenly Go Stone shard inside each," Guqin explained.
"Oh?" Gu Hai felt slightly stunned.
"Take the Heavenly Go Stone shards and form the Dahan divine tool. Imperial Father can use them. At that time, not only can they form the floating island, but they can also form a large ritual array to protect my Nine-Five Island. That is what the Sky Chess Pavilion did back then. The only regret is that it requires too many spirit stones. One billion superior-grade spirit stones every year! "Guqin said bitterly.
Gu Hai tapped his fingers on the table as he pondered.
However, the study fell silent as everyone waited for Gu Hai to make a decision. After all, the Han Dynasty had just been established and lacked money everywhere. One billion superior-grade spirit stones can only be used for one year? One billion superior-grade spirit stones can do a lot of things for us.
After a moment of silence, Gu Hai took a deep breath and said, "Money is not a problem. Quickly draw a detailed layout of the ritual array for me to look at."
"Yes!" Guqin answered.
