Zhao Huan had always been at ease with Guo Zonghuang and was very optimistic about his future.
After giving a few words of advice to his disciples, he returned to his senses and continued to talk with Dao Master Changle and the others.
At the same time, his eyes swept across the scenery of Snowgale Country in front of him from time to time. He had never really seen these scenes before, but when he was growing up, from the time he could remember, whether it was his parents or the adults around him, they often described the scenery and customs of Snowgale Country.
They described the scenery of the country that had been completely destroyed by the swords and spears of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Under the influence of hearing and seeing, although it felt a little unreal, all of this was still firmly engraved in Zhao Huan's heart, and he never forgot.
Later, when Snowgale was destroyed by Zhang Lie and Zhao Huan's parents were killed, the illusory scene of Snowgale Country in his memory became more and more real and clear.
Over the years, Zhao Huan had temporarily set foot on the homeland of Snowgale Country, but at that time, it was still Snowgale County of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It had never been like now, where he really felt like he had returned home.
In particular, moving his parents' cenotaph to the foot of Mist Mountain made Zhao Huan's heart feel incomparably clear and mysterious.
Zhao Huan looked at the late Yuanying cultivator who led the team and said, "These days, there have been some sporadic conflicts between the two sides. I hope we can properly solve them together."
The Yuanying Ancestor nodded, "No problem."
In addition to communicating with Zhao Huan of Xuanmen Tianzong, he came to Snowgale County for another mission. He was ordered by the new Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liang Qian, to come here to coordinate and deal with the Great Zhou cultivators who were still in conflict with the middle and lower level cultivators of Snowgale Country and even Xuanmen Tianzong.
The forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty withdrew and Snowgale Country was rebuilt. In a short period of time, there were always some loose ends to deal with. After all, the relationship between the two sides was extremely bad and there were many resentments. At present, there was a considerable territory between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Snowgale Country.
Liang Qian had just ascended the throne and subdued King of Youyun Liang Jingcheng and the Mahayana magic treasure, Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu did not return to the Divine Continent, so his throne was extremely stable.
But to bring the entire Great Zhou under his control, it would take time for the local forces that had become restless because of the previous changes to return to his side.
These local forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty were inextricably linked with each other. Some of them secretly communicated with each other and took in some of the Great Zhou Dynasty cultivators who were evacuated from the Snowgale Country.
The reconstruction of Snowgale had also damaged the interests of some people. They might not dare to openly go against the Snowgale Nation, which had the backing of the Celestial Sect of Profound Gate, but it was inevitable that they would secretly connive and support some rogue cultivators.
At this moment, on the land of Snowgale Country, as well as at the border with the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a rare occurrence of banditry.
Now it seems like the wheel of fortune has turned. In the past the organizations like the Society of the Strong Gale that Yue Hongyan and Zhao Huan were in were roaming the borders of the Zhou Dynasty, resisting and rebelling, and now it's the turn of a portion of the Zhou Dynasty cultivators.
The Yue Hongyan's and Zhao Huan's Society of the Strong Gale and other organizations had come for this purpose. Now it was the turn of some Great Zhou Dynasty cultivators.
Liang Qian naturally would not sit back and do nothing. In fact, this was exactly what he wanted. The other party's short-sighted behavior gave him a starting point to reorganize the local forces.
The Great Qin Dynasty's Dao Master Chang Le and the Northern Militant Imperial Court's Yuanying Late Phase cultivators had no reaction to this.
However, no matter if it was Zhao Huan or the cultivators of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they all knew that the Great Qin and the Northern Militant would support and rope in the local powers of the Great Zhou Dynasty under the new Emperor of Zhou, Liang Gan's rule.
This was already the norm for the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty and the Northern Militant Imperial Court. Especially between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty, it was even more common.
Although both sides were currently leaning towards Xuanmen Tianzong in terms of policies and routes, it did not mean that the two sides were in harmony with each other.
Putting aside the fact that the competition between the two sides had always existed, even their past grudges could not be completely forgotten with the fall of Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu. Even though Liang Qian had just ascended to the throne and had to make some concessions to Great Qin in order to clean up Liang Pan's mess, this did not mean that he was willing to lower his head to Great Qin and hand over Great Zhou and his throne.
After the war between the two worlds came to an end, the two sides would still continue to fight. This was the inevitable result of the two great cultivation and secular dynasties existing side by side in the same era.
However, the intensity of the battle would still remain at the stage of surging undercurrents.
Because at this stage, both the Great Zhou and the Great Qin had to face a problem. That was, the Northern Militant Imperial Court that could not challenge their position in the past was now faintly on the verge of becoming a three-legged tripod with them.
In the war between the two worlds, the Great Qin Dynasty had suffered heavy losses. It could no longer be described as a serious injury to its vitality. It had almost been removed from the Divine Land.
And after this battle, as Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu fled with the Grand Imperial Palace and the Great Wheel of Heaven, the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty had become extremely weak.
As for the Northern Militant Imperial Court, whether it was the area controlled by the Heavenly Pool Sect at the beginning, the harvest from the Exterminating Profound War, or the harvest from the war between the two worlds, it had caused its power to rise steadily. It had become a powerful force that dominated the northern border and looked down on the hinterland of the Divine Continent.
As for the Northern Militant Imperial Court, the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty had to pay far more attention to the Northern Militant Imperial Court than the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Strictly speaking, the relationship between the Northern Militant Imperial Court and Xuanmen Tianzong was even closer than that between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In all the previous details, Xuanmen Tianzong had already made his attitude clear. He would not interfere with the internal affairs and development of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty and the Northern Militant Imperial Court. This made them feel restless, but they also had to think more.
Moreover, there was news that the descendants of the Ancient Emperor, who had reappeared after the war between the two worlds, were finally going to return to the Divine Land.
Based on the current situation, the power of the Ancient Emperor far surpassed that of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Militant Imperial Court. If they obtained the support of Xuanmen Tianzong and returned to the Divine Continent, it would undoubtedly be bad news for the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Militant Imperial Court.
This also caused the situation in the Divine Land to gradually stabilize.
Of course, this did not prevent the three families from secretly infiltrating each other and opposing each other.
Zhao Huan was talking with the Great Zhou Dynasty cultivator when he suddenly frowned. The Great Zhou Dynasty's late-stage Yuanying Old Ancestor's expression also changed slightly. Both of them received a voice transmission at the same time. There was news that the Great Zhou Dynasty cultivators were causing trouble. Moreover, the cultivation of the troublemakers this time was not low. There were actually Yuanying cultivators involved. The situation was very bad.
The Great Zhou Dynasty's late-stage Yuanying Old Ancestor's expression was a bit gloomy. Yuanying cultivators might not be much in Tianjing City, but in the local territories, they were already experts.
The other party had personally jumped out at this time, which made him lose some face.
The Great Zhou Dynasty's late-stage Yuanying Old Ancestor said in a deep voice, "I'll go deal with it and give everyone an explanation."
Zhao Huan and Ke Jing looked at each other and nodded slightly. Zhao Huan tilted his head slightly and said to Guo Zonghuang behind him, "Zonghuang, the few of you will go with Patriarch Yellow Sun. Take this opportunity to train yourselves."
Guo Zonghuang nodded and replied, "Yes, Master."
After saying that, he walked out with the Snowstorm Valley disciples behind him. The Great Zhou Dynasty's Old Ancestor Yellow Sun and the others did not have any objections, nor did they feel offended. They simply said, "Then let's go."
Some of the Great Zhou Dynasty's cultivators also stayed where they were. Yellow Sun Old Ancestor took some of them and broke through the void and flew into the distance.
Behind him, a crown shone brightly above Guo Zonghuang's head. Above the crown, two shadows were projected. One of the shadows was dignified and sacred, while the other shadow was evil and domineering.
The two shadows fused together and produced a violent energy wave as if it would tear through the void at any time.
It was the Yuanying Period magic weapon, the Golden Crown of the Ghost and Deity. This was the legacy magic weapon of the Snowstorm Valley. After Guo Zonghuang's status as the third generation True Seat Disciple was confirmed, Zhao Huan passed on the Golden Crown of the Ghost and the other Golden Elixir Period magic weapon, the Ancient Jade Armor, which was used for legacy, to Guo Zonghuang. She only kept the two Yuanying Period magic weapons, the Heaven's Wrath Spear and the Exorcism Seal, which were given to her as the second generation True Seat Disciple.
Although Guo Zonghuang was an early-stage Golden Elixir Period cultivator, the power of the Golden Crown of the Ghost and Deity allowed him to break through the void and catch up with Yellow Sun Old Ancestor.
The group crossed the vast land in the blink of an eye and came to a valley at the border of the Snowstorm Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This was one of the main roads between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Snowstorm Kingdom. Every certain distance, there would be a special formation set up as a node to protect the people who came and went. Not only the people of the secular world, but also the cultivators who cultivated Qi and had a lower cultivation base would often stop here to rest.
Although the cultivators of the Golden Elixir Period couldn't break through the void and travel, they still had the ability to fly in the air. If they wanted to stop temporarily, most of them would choose these places with formations if there were no special circumstances.
At the same time, this place was like a market with people coming and going. Most of the time, they would trade here.
However, at this moment, the formation that shrouded the valley had been completely destroyed and the valley was in ruins. The survivors were in a panic and there were corpses in the valley.
Guo Zonghuang glanced at it and frowned. It was a cultivator of the Golden Elixir Period who had been killed. He knew this cultivator of the Golden Elixir Period. He was from the Snowstorm Kingdom and had lived in seclusion for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Later, he learned that Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu had fallen from power and Snowstorm Kingdom was restored, so he returned to his homeland.
He had come to see Zhao Huan before. Although he was much older than Zhao Huan, he was very respectful and grateful. Guo Zonghuang had also seen him at that time.
In addition to this cultivator of the Golden Elixir Period, there were other victims in the valley. After asking the survivors, they learned that the victims were all cultivators of the Snowstorm Kingdom.
Yellow Sun Old Ancestor also wore a solemn expression. He formed a seal with both hands and changed it repeatedly. A withered yellow light shadow appeared and gathered the remaining magic power and spiritual Qi in the void.
The next moment, as Yellow Sun Old Ancestor pointed his finger, the withered yellow light flew into the distance and guided the direction.
Guo Zonghuang, Yellow Sun Old Ancestor, and the others did not say a word and immediately followed the light.
