Although the Yanlu Kingdom ruled by the Eleventh Prince was a kingdom, it was actually a world of its own. However, since it was under the rule of the Heavenly Court, it was connected to the universe and the closest one to it was Shen Sun Zhou.
A few days ago, Seventh Prince Haocheng's trusted aide, Mang Gao. He came here personally.
Previously, someone secretly revealed that although the Eleventh Prince did not have any deities under his command, the entire Yanlu Kingdom was under his complete control and his gains were not any less than theirs. Moreover, the Eleventh Prince did not have any demon soldiers under his command, which made him a perfect target for them to attack.
Therefore, when they asked for offerings, Haocheng did not reply. Since Haocheng was unwilling to give in, they were prepared to use force to force him.
However, there was a hindrance here.
The Yanlu Kingdom was located in a remote area. It was separated by the Boundary River and separated by the Tianyuan Mountains. Unless one had a talisman from the Heavenly Emperor, one would not be able to pass through. Naturally, the Seventh Prince did not have such a thing. In addition, he had to leave some demon soldiers behind to guard against the other princes. Therefore, he could not launch a large-scale attack and could only send his trusted aide to recruit demons.
In the Shen Sun Island, there were many demons that had been chased out of the Yanlu Kingdom that day, as well as wild demons that had been wandering around the area. These demon soldiers were gathered by Mang Gao, and with the help of the many attendants he brought with him, he managed to gather a hundred thousand people in just a few days.
When Haocheng heard about the commotion here, he immediately summoned Jie Ying for a discussion.
Jie Ying said, "Your Highness, although the Yanlu Kingdom does not need demon soldiers, all the people in the kingdom can fight for us. Your Highness can recruit as many as you want."
Haocheng shook his head and said, "The Yanlu Kingdom is a small country with few people. Even if we can repel the enemy, it will definitely hurt our foundation. Even if we can force them to retreat this time, what if they come again?"
Jie Ying thought for a while and said, "Your Highness wants to force them to retreat without using weapons?"
Haocheng nodded and said, "Official Jie, can you do that?"
Jie Ying lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Your Highness, please allow me to think about it."
After he left, he thought that if he wanted to repel a hundred thousand demon soldiers led by a Celestial General without using weapons, he would have to borrow the power of the mountain. Thus, he ordered someone to find Lin Huaizhan for a discussion.
When Lin Huaizhan heard this, he was puzzled. "Martial Uncle, why don't you let Martial Nephew handle this matter? I've seen many of those demons on my way here, but I don't think they have much ability. We can kill them outside the border river."
Jie Ying asked, "Can you kill a hundred thousand demon soldiers in one night?"
Lin Huaizhan said, "That's a little difficult. If it's ten days or half a month, I can give it a try."
Jie Ying sighed, "Ten days to half a month and we would have already entered the Yanlu Kingdom. Moreover, if the Seventh Prince were to see you, he would definitely ask for help from the Qi Practitioners or the celestial officials. You might not even have the chance then."
King 'Prince said, King Huaizhan, and Prince's Ming, Lin. Kingdom, King, King Prince's King, I, Prince, I, King a, Kingdom, I, King, "
Jie Ying said, "You mean to get rid of the people sent by Prince Seven?" He shook his head and said, "That's not appropriate. Although the person who came is only a trusted follower of the Seventh Prince, he must be protected by a Divine General. Moreover, he is a Divine Being himself. If we kill him wantonly, the Celestial Court will definitely punish us. Even if it's hard to punish us, the Li Wang Mountain will still blame you."
Lin Huaizhan laughed and said, "But we don't have to get rid of them."
Jie Ying heard him and thought for a while before saying, "Then let's give it a try."
That night, Lin Huaizhan left Yanlu Country. Without identifying the direction, he rushed towards the towering demonic Qi and directly came to the enemy's camp. After taking a careful look above the camp, he found that there were indeed immortal generals guarding the camp. However, the defense was unusually lax. Lin Huaizhan was a little confused.
In reality, although the princes were competing with each other, it was only the demon soldiers killing each other. No one dared to do anything to the immortal officials or divine generals. Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would definitely punish them. Currently, no one dared to cross this boundary, so there was no need to be on guard against them.
Moreover, Mang Gao was only here on Seventh Prince's order to preside over the attack. He was not the prince himself. Even if he was dead, another person could be sent to replace him. Mang Gao himself was not that important, so it was impossible to have too many guards.
When Lin Huaizhan saw this, he suddenly felt a little more confident. He avoided the main camp and came to the foot of a small hill. He took out an incense burner and lit it. The smoke drifted in the air and condensed into the shape of a little monkey. It looked very intelligent.
He whispered a few instructions, and the little monkey seemed to have understood. It squeaked a few times at him, and with a flash, it scuttled into the camp.
About four hours later, the little monkey came back. It left empty-handed but came back with a pouch. From the shape, it was obvious that it was used by the Heaven Court.
Lin Huaizhan was overjoyed. He patted the little monkey's head and kept it in the incense burner. He did not alert the demon soldiers. Instead, he quietly returned to Yanlu Kingdom and reported the matter to Jie Ying.
Jie Ying was surprised. "I didn't expect Martial Nephew to succeed. If the enemy retreats, you will be the main contributor."
Lin Huaizhan said, "This item has an owner but I can't open it. I don't know if it is that item."
Jie Ying nodded. "Don't worry. We will know in two days."
However, they did not expect that on the second day, Shen Sun Zhou's reply was already a mess.
The reason why the disciples were able to recruit the demons was not because of their status as Princes, but because they promised enough blood food and goods as a reward. These goods were carried by Mang Gao, which was what Gao Lin and Huai Zhan took away that night.
According to the rules, these items should be placed separately. This way, even if they were stolen, they would not disappear completely. The missing parts could be retrieved from the rear. However, Mang Gao wanted to save trouble and put them all in one place. This caused the demons to be unwilling to follow his orders.
After discovering this, he knew that he would definitely be punished and executed by the Seventh Prince if he returned, so he simply abandoned the camp and left. When the Immortal Generals saw this, they felt that there was no need to stay any longer, so they all retreated. The one hundred thousand demon soldiers had no one to restrain them and they had no blood to feed on, so they dispersed in a hubbub, and the disaster disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Yan watched the changes in the world from within the Realm of Forgetfulness. Just as Lin Huaizhan was resolving the crisis, he saw the Emperor's Qi on the Eleventh Prince's body suddenly increase.
The main reason was that the Eleventh Prince did not reveal his true strength. Hence, the other princes only thought that he was lucky and did not think that he had much strength.
He looked in the direction of the Heavenly Court. As he placed his piece, the disciples of his sect gradually entered into the karma of this place.
The scene in front of him became clearer and clearer. Now, he could faintly see a light in the world. Although he could not distinguish it clearly, he was able to see some things.
Just as he had guessed, the Heavenly Court had an item, but they could not control it. This was the item that many Spirit Refinement cultivators wanted, or a part of it.
No matter which Dao vein was recognized by the Heavenly Court, they would also have the right to possess this item. Once the true body paid attention to it, they could take it away.
This was the origin of the battle between the Dao of Integrity and the Dao of Virtue.
However, these powerful cultivators were only a strand of consciousness. They did not know when the true body would pay attention to it. Hence, before that, they could only try their best to ensure that the item fell into their hands.
He could sense that this item was also very important to him. Although it was difficult to know what it was, it was very likely that it would be an indispensable part of his Dao path in the future. As such, he had to fight for it.
However, it was a pity that even though his power could suppress these consciousnesses, if he directly chased them away, he would alert the true body behind him. Hence, he could only slowly plan for it.
Thankfully, after knowing all this, he had sorted out his thoughts. In the future, he would no longer need to fumble around and take things one step at a time. Instead, he could act freely.
The first thing he needed to do was to do what the other powerful cultivators had planned and try to push a Prince onto the throne.
But from the looks of it, apart from the Eleventh Prince, there was no other suitable candidate.
His gaze landed on the State of Yan Lu.
Among the Princes, someone had actually chosen the Eleventh Prince, who appeared to be the weakest and was the furthest away. There was definitely someone behind this.
He secretly thought that this was very likely Quan Dao's doing.
They probably thought that the Eleventh Prince could stand on the stage now and that he could share some of the pressure for Quan Dao.
Quan Dao probably felt that if he told him directly, there might not be any results, so he used this method.
He thought about it. This time, the problem had been resolved. However, if they were not willing to give up, he might use other methods.
Although the fact that he supported the Eleventh Prince would be exposed sooner or later, he had to pay attention to the timing. At the very least, he had to choose the right time and not be forced to appear. Hence, he had to find some trouble for this person and let him know that he had his own way of doing things and that he did not need anyone to interfere.
In the Apricot Continent, the Second Prince, Hao Ji, had previously offended the Forgotten Li Mountain and lost all his demon soldiers. Moreover, he had occupied the best piece of land among the many fiefs. Hence, the other Princes naturally would not miss this opportunity. While he was weak, they continuously sent demon soldiers to attack him. Among them was the Third Prince, whom Quan Dao thought highly of.
In order to deal with the invasion of the Princes, Hao Ji also had to attend to one thing and lose sight of another. Fortunately, he had the help of a Perfected Immortal sent by De Dao. Not long after, they set up a barrier of the Heavenly River at the border, which resolved the crisis.
Just as he was trying to recover his strength, a crack appeared on the barrier for some reason. The direction of the Heavenly River coincidentally led to the Third Prince's fief. The Third Prince did not hesitate to lead his army in.
However, Hao Ji was much more relaxed when dealing with the enemies along the way. After a few battles, no one gained the upper hand. Instead, both sides suffered heavy losses. At this time, the other Princes saw that the Third Prince seemed to have an opportunity and attacked him simultaneously.
Seeing this, Hao Ji gloated over the Third Prince's misfortune and did not let him go. This caused the Third Prince to become the target of everyone. For a moment, he was badly battered and had no choice but to seek help from Quan Dao.
It was not difficult for Quan Dao's two Grand Elders to understand the reason for this. In order to resolve this matter, after a discussion, one of them once again came to the Forgotten Li Mountain.
