Just like that, after Cheng Yu taught them the method to send a message through the jade slip, other than the Eastern Calm Outer Monarch, he let the other Outer Monarchs return to their respective Outer Dynasties.
Even their subordinates were taken away by them.
If these Outer Monarchs returned alone, it would obviously be strange. Therefore, it was much more normal to let some people follow them back.
As for the people from each Outer Dynasty, he left one person behind as a guide.
Now that he had settled Linhai's Outer Dynasty, it was very easy for him to deal with the Outer Monarchs. He just needed to inform Ke Cheng and the others about the matter.
However, he hadn't settled the other few Outer Dynasties yet. Therefore, after letting these Outer Monarchs go, he let them pave the way for his Outer Dynasty in advance.
To an Outer Dynasty, the Outer Monarchs were the most important, but they were definitely not the only important.
Apart from the Outer Monarchs, the second most important were the Principal Elders.
After all, these Principal Elders had their own independent forces. Although they seemed to belong to the Outer Monarchs, in reality, these forces were all controlled by the Principal Elders themselves.
Therefore, when the Eight Palace Principal Elders betrayed them in Linhai's Outer Dynasty, the Eight Palace Army followed the orders of the Eight Palace Principal Elders to attack the Outer Monarchs.
Therefore, the power of the Eight Palace Principal Elders was still very great in the Outer Dynasty.
If he only controlled one Outer Monarch, it would be relatively difficult for Cheng Yu to control the entire Outer Dynasty freely.
Think about it, if the Outer Dynasty wanted to harm the Cheng Family or the Holy Dynasty, the Principal Elders would naturally listen to the Imperial Dynasty.
However, the Outer Monarchs had to think of ways to protect the Cheng Family or the Holy Dynasty. If the Outer Monarch fought against the Principal Elders alone, he might not be able to suppress them.
Even if he could suppress them, it was equivalent to weakening the Outer Dynasty's strength.
If that was all, it didn't mean that he had control over the Outer Dynasty.
Therefore, he let these Outer Monarchs go back and do what they needed to do. When the time came, he would personally deal with these Principal Elders.
Although he didn't want to go through so much trouble, for the Cheng Family's future, this step couldn't be skipped.
With the Outer Monarchs acting as spies in the Outer Dynasty, it wasn't difficult for him to take down those Principal Elders.
This was also why he had to release these foreign kings first. As for whether or not these foreign kings would betray him, this was also a good test.
However, with the Heavenly Dao Blood Oath, even if they wanted to betray him, they wouldn't dare to do so in such a short period of time.
Young Master, let's set off as well! Prince Eastcalm said respectfully to Cheng Yu.
The other outer monarchs had already left, and he planned on returning to Eastcalm's outer court with this new young master.
Let's go! Cheng Yu nodded.
This was because the next stop was Eastcalm's outer court. There was naturally no need for him to separate. Wouldn't it be more convenient for the Outer Monarch to personally lead them into the outer court?
As for the other foreign dynasties, he couldn't wait that long, so he could only arrange for those foreign kings to go back first.
Moreover, they already knew how to make those communication jade slips. As long as they made arrangements for matters outside the imperial court, they could contact him at any time.
Although Prince Eastcalm was the king of Eastcalm's outer court, no one in the entire sphere of influence knew him. Only the guards of the outer court army stationed in the border city knew him.
Therefore, they didn't have to worry about being discovered along the way. They would enter every city they passed by.
What Cheng Yu wanted to see was naturally not the local customs, but to see if there were any good resources in the city.
At present, the Cheng Family was able to collect a great deal of resources through the quests they were given. Many of them were precious resources. However, for a cultivator or even a force, immortal cultivation resources were something that could never be enough.
Therefore, since he was out, he would continue to collect more precious resources if he had the chance. It didn't matter if he gave these resources to the Cheng family or kept them for his own use.
Young Master, with your status and strength, there won't be any resources that are useful to you in such a city. Aren't you wasting your time like this? Prince Eastcalm couldn't help but ask when he saw Cheng Yu visit all the places that sold resources in every city he went to.
From his point of view, the resources that Cheng Yu was looking at couldn't arouse his interest at all. And Cheng Yu's strength was above his. Even he had no use for resources, let alone Cheng Yu.
However, Cheng Yu still bought some seemingly useless things, which puzzled him.
Then where do you think the resources are better? City Lord's Mansion? Cheng Yu said.
Uh … Of course not. I just feel that it's very difficult for such a place to have resources that are useful to Young Master Eastcalm smiled awkwardly.
This young master was from the Holy Dynasty. In the past few years, the Holy Dynasty had plundered many resources from the City Lord's Mansions.
Although he didn't think that the resources Cheng Yu bought were of any use to him, he didn't want Cheng Yu to have any thoughts about these City Lord's Mansions.
Even if these City Lords didn't know him and these City Lord's Mansions weren't his, these City Lord's Mansions had to pay a certain amount of tribute to the Eastern Calm Outer Court every three years.
If Cheng Yu targeted these City Lord's Mansions, where would he go to collect the tribute?
Therefore, if Cheng Yu took away the City Lord's Mansion's resources, wouldn't that be equivalent to taking away his own resources?
If that was the case, then he would rather Cheng Yu buy these useless resources in the city. It was much better than taking away his own resources.
You don't have to worry so much. I've already told you that I won't interfere in the matter of the tribute. Since you've decided to follow me, I can't let anyone come to your territory to steal resources. Cheng Yu looked at the other party and said indifferently.
Thank you, Young Master Hearing Cheng Yu say this, he finally felt relieved.
Cheng Yu didn't want to explain anything to him. Although the resources he bought were indeed of little use to him, it didn't mean that they were useless to others.
He had so many women and so many brothers and sisters. These people didn't have the same achievements as him, so these things were all useful.
Moreover, even if they were useless to these people, if he put these resources in the Cheng Family, they would also be useful to the Cheng Family's disciples.
After all, the resources he bought weren't ordinary resources that could be seen everywhere. At least in his eyes, they were still good resources. Otherwise, he could buy things at any time, let alone visit so many places.
Originally, it would only take half a month to reach the encampment of the Eastern Calm Outer Dynasty. However, because Cheng Yu had to search for some resources in every city, it took them a whole month to reach the encampment of the Eastern Calm Outer Dynasty.
Young Master, this is where the encampment of my Eastern Calm Outer Dynasty is located Eastern Calm Outer King opened the mountain gate, and what appeared in front of Cheng Yu was the location of a huge force.
The encampment of the Outer Dynasty was not just a desolate place. Cheng Yu had been to a few Outer Dynasties. The biggest characteristic of these Outer Dynasties was that they chose places with abundant spiritual energy.
However, not every place with abundant spiritual energy was the encampment of the Outer Dynasty.
If there was no guide, he really wouldn't be able to find such an Outer Dynasty's mountain gate.
Outer King When the guard saw that the Outer King had returned, he didn't dare to be negligent and quickly went forward to greet him
Since he was in the Outer Dynasty, Cheng Yu still had to keep a low profile, especially since they still had a plan.
If he was too high-profile and placed his status above that of the Outer King, he would definitely be suspected by others.
Therefore, in this place, the Outer King naturally had to restore his former arrogance.
En! The Outer King nodded and led everyone up the mountain.
However, because Cheng Yu hadn't revealed his true appearance and was still wrapped in a white robe, it was impossible not to attract the attention of others.
As the Outer King went up the mountain, he introduced the basic situation of the Outer Dynasty to him.
However, when the people from the Outer Dynasty saw the Outer King talking to a mysterious person, although they were curious, most of them treated him as the Outer King's guest.
Pass down my order. Tomorrow, get the seven chief elders to come to the back of the mountain. I have something important to tell them! After returning to the Outer King's main peak, the Outer King immediately ordered his disciple.
Yes! The disciple accepted the order and hurriedly left the main peak.
Young Master, I've already arranged a good house for you. Young Master, are you going to rest first or do you want to settle your matters first? Outer King Eastcalm asked.
Let's settle our matters first. It won't be too late to rest after we're done! Cheng Yu said.
Good! Then follow me! Outer King Eastcalm didn't hesitate and led Cheng Yu to the back of the mountain.
Cheng Yu had already told him about the plan to deal with the seven chief elders.
In order to prevent the news of him subduing the seven chief elders from leaking out, Cheng Yu had to set up a formation at the back of the mountain. That way, he could use the safest and fastest method to subdue these chief elders.
Originally, Cheng Yu planned to use this method in Linhai's Outer Dynasty. However, before he could set it up, the eight prefectures in Linhai's Outer Dynasty had already begun to rebel.
Now that he was in Eastcalm's Outer Dynasty, it was obvious that he could use this method this time.
Although Cheng Yu was very confident in his own strength, if he had the help of a formation, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
It was better to be safe than sorry. If these seven Principal Elders also had some formidable methods, it wouldn't be worth it if they managed to get the ducks that were already in their hands to escape.
Especially since this matter was very important. If these seven chief elders spread the news of this to the inner court, then things would become complicated.
Therefore, Cheng Yu had to be careful when doing things. He absolutely couldn't tolerate any mistakes.
One night was enough for Cheng Yu to set up the formation. When the sky brightened, the formation was basically set up. All that was left was to wait for the arrival of the seven chief elders
As for Outer King Eastcalm, he accompanied Cheng Yu for the entire night. He personally watched Cheng Yu set up a formation that he couldn't understand at all
