In the blink of an eye, it was late June. In just over ten days, the situation in the Three Realms had changed so much that it was too much to take in. First, the Mortal Realm's Heavenly Strategies Tower released the second issue of "Light of the Stars", which recorded the conversation between Feng Yiyang and Ouyang Bo that night. This was the most shocking event since the destruction of the Five Elements Court. Mystic God Sect's "betrayal" was just a few drops of water splashed by the fish's tail. Turning the legend of the "Star Spirit" into reality was the real thing. Not many people remembered the entire article, but the words "catastrophe is coming" were burned in people's hearts like a torch.
The Jian Province and the South Nest were adjacent to Taikang. Hence, the Sword Court and the Lotus Seat acted the fastest. Both sects sent out all their experts and headed towards the Mystic Divine Sect to denounce them for their crimes. Unexpectedly, the Mystic Divine Sect did not hesitate at all and abandoned all of Taikang's foundations. They moved their sect and fled to the Devil World to seek refuge with the Sky Devil Palace.
The Nine Schools of Confucian Orthodoxy, the holy land in the eyes of cultivators, looked dignified on the surface, but did shameless things behind the scenes. They even sought refuge with their mortal enemy, the Demon Realm, in order to survive. This immediately caused intense condemnation. In addition to the internal strife in the Dao Court and the incident of the divine weapon changing cauldrons, the reputation of the Nine Schools of Confucian Orthodoxy fell to the bottom.
The new Dao Court Sect Master, Uncle Chao Ji, immediately took on a great responsibility. He sent people to the Demon Realm to ask the Demon Lord Wenren Weiyang for Mystic God Sect. At the same time, he stated the pros and cons, pointing the finger at the Infernal Hell that was confirmed to be the "Star Spirit Clan". He proposed that immortals and demons were of the same origin and that they should share the good and bad of the Three Realms and join forces to attack the Infernal Hell. Unexpectedly, Wenren Weiyang not only gave the Mystic God Sect several cities, but also killed all the people in the envoy group, showing that she was absolutely irreconcilable with the Confucian Orthodoxy.
To make matters worse, the Demon Realm once again assembled their army to provoke a new round of war while the Nine Schools of Confucian Orthodoxy was weakened. On one hand, the nine Confucian orthodoxy were strongly requested to deal with the Infernal Hell and deal with the possible catastrophe; on the other hand, they had to fight against the attack of the Demonic Realm. Because it was impossible to take care of both sides, they fell into an unprecedented crisis of trust. In the future, whether they could still lead the Three Realms as the leader of the righteous path was a big question.
What made people feel slightly comforted was that a female householder named Prajna Pagoda found the Great Daoist Master's Golden Body and sent it to the Bodhi Temple. The Endless Hell was forced to retreat and hide in the underground palace.
The changes in the situation in the Mortal World were also dazzling. First, Lihen Heaven issued a declaration of war, which received the response of all the feudal lords. Longling City annihilated the invading enemy overnight. The next day, both the Tang Sect and the Divine Weapon Clan were annihilated, and the two great forces that stood in the way of the Swallow Fort army disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Lihen Heaven revealed their trump card, a large number of undercover agents appeared in the imperial court of the Dragon Emperor. With the cooperation from both inside and outside, the coalition army did not lose a single soldier. It only took seven days to conquer more than 20 cities. In less than five days, the remaining dozens of cities were conquered one after another. In less than half a month, the coalition army killed their way to Tianjing.
Compared to these, the siege of Luojing by the Beast Tide and the theft of the Overlord's Mausoleum seemed very insignificant.
…
The coalition army killed their way to the outside of Tianjing, but there was a disagreement. Because they were all fighting separately, now that it was the last moment, the coalition army had to have a name, and could not just be called "coalition army". Otherwise, it would be recorded in the history books that a certain coalition army overthrew the decadent imperial court of the Dragon Emperor. It would be a joke. Naturally, they could not do that. So, the problem of who would decide the name and who would be the leader stopped the pace of the attack.
The major forces agreed that when these two problems were solved, they would launch a general attack on the Dragon Emperor. So, there were tens of thousands of troops.
The Dragon Emperor's imperial court was hopping mad when they did not attack the periphery of Tianjing. Ji Yuyu was furious and killed more than 20 servants and more than 30 maids in a day.
"Boss, I'm back!"
Huang Shaoyu strode into Yan Li's tent and saw Yan Li sitting cross-legged on a chair. He could not help but be in awe, "Boss Yan, your cultivation is already so strong, and you are still so diligent!"
"You're just saying nice things. Did it fall through again?" Yan Li said without opening his eyes.
"Hehe, boss, you really know me. Those bastards all want to be the boss. The name hasn't been decided yet, but they are already fighting over it, saying what contributions they have made and how many cities they have conquered! Hmph, if it weren't for us coming late, they wouldn't even have the chance to show off! "
Huang Shaoyu rolled his eyes and changed the topic, "Boss, I have made a suggestion. We were able to successfully conquer the Dragon Emperor Realm because of Lihen Heaven's contribution, so let Lihen Heaven be the boss. But that representative of theirs did not agree. He called himself Zhou Siqu? This guy is stubborn, saying that Lihen Heaven is a group of dead souls and can't be the leader of the coalition army! Sigh, this is a great opportunity to leave his name in history. Why do you think he is so stupid? "
Yan Li sneered and said, "Lihen Heaven has been planning for so many years, how could they not want this name? You must have discussed with those representatives to deceive me! Didn't I tell you that it doesn't matter whether Swallow Fort is the leader or not? I have something that I want in Ji Yuyu's hands. "
Huang Shaoyu said anxiously, "Boss, do you know that once the Dragon Emperor Imperial Court is overthrown, the forces in the human world will be reshuffled? The more advantages we have at this time, the more achievements we make in the future will be!"
Yan Li opened his cold eyes and stared straight at Huang Shaoyu, "I am not interested in becoming king or hegemony. Let Baichuan attend the meeting tomorrow. You stay here obediently!"
"Yes." Huang Shaoyu was helpless. He knew that Yan Li was really angry. If he disobeyed at this time, he would only be asking for trouble.
After another few days of wrangling, Lu Baichuan returned to the tent and reported to Yan Li. He also brought the message of the head of Lihen Heaven: no representatives will be sent tomorrow, and the leaders of all forces must be present in person. The meeting will be the last day and nothing more.
"Where is it?"
"The Listening Rain Temple."
"The new king of Changzhou will also be there?"
"Of course."
…
The night wind blew into the palace in the capital with a bit of dry heat.
In the imperial study, Ji Yuyu said with a gloomy face, "How many spies are there from Lihen Heaven? Have you found out?"
"Your Majesty, the Residence of Dragon Emperor is better at investigating cases." A minister said.
The two Super Arresters of the Residence of Dragon Emperor felt their scalps go numb when they heard that. Hua Feihua gave Li Yong a look. The latter was best at thinking calmly in the face of extreme danger. Hua Feihua had lost the courage to face the difficulties, and that was it for the rest of his life. Li Yong felt disdain for Hua Feihua, so he immediately stood up and cupped his hands at Ji Yuyu, "Your Majesty, I have been thinking, how did Lihen Heaven arrange their pawns? They have them in more than twenty cities. It is unbelievable. According to that calculation, everyone in the Protectorate Army of Long Qing is a suspect … "
Ji Yuyu was very annoyed and interrupted rudely.
Li Yong said, "I did not ask you to talk nonsense!" He stared at Li Yong with hostility, as if he would immediately kill Li Yong if his next words were not of value.
Li Yong smiled faintly and said, "Could it be that Lihen Heaven does not actually have that many pawns, and they are only creating such an illusion, with the purpose of making us hesitate to use the Protectorate of Long Qing, because no one knows which of the important generals in the Protectorate of Long Qing have betrayed us."
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately caused many people to whisper. Hua Feihua's expression changed as well. She was secretly annoyed that she did not think of that. She had jumped out of the frame of the question and thought on a completely different level. Even if she was wrong, she would at least be appreciated.
As expected, the way Zhang Jingfu looked at Li Yong changed. Clearing his throat, he said, "Your Imperial Majesty, Lord Li speaks the truth. Rather than wasting time and energy looking for spies, why don't we try to deduce how they managed to take over thirty cities in a dozen days?"
Ji Yuyu calmed down a little and said, "Li Yong, do you have any good ideas about this?"
Li Yong said boldly, "According to your humble servant's speculation, Lihen Heaven may have conquered more than twenty cities long ago, but they have been pretending."
Hua Feihua, as a 'senior', was very annoyed to have her limelight stolen by a 'junior'. Upon hearing this, she immediately found fault and said, "Those twenty cities are in Yi State, Chuzhou, and Feng State. The three states are separated by Dengzhou, and the prefectural soldiers of Dengzhou have always been sharp. How could they not notice the clues?"
Li Yong ignored her and said to Ji Yuyu, "Your Majesty, think carefully. When we surrounded the people of the Specter Tavern a few days ago, did many specters suddenly disappear? I am afraid this is also a trick of Lihen Heaven. On the surface, they are surrounded by us, but in fact, they are scattered in different places. "
At this moment, a man in black appeared at the door and was stopped by the guards. The Chief Guard of the Radiance Pavilion, Zhuang Kuoting, waved his hand and signaled the guards to let him pass. The man in black walked in and whispered a few words in Zhuang Kuoting's ear. Then, he leaped and disappeared into thin air.
Li Yong's eyes flashed. He had heard that Zhuang Kuoting had a group of spies secretly trained by him. They usually hid in Dayu Academy, and no one knew who they were.
Zhuang Kuoting turned around the imperial desk and whispered something in Ji Yuyu's ear. Ji Yuyu's eyes gradually turned cold and fierce. He stood up and said, "All departments, return to your positions. Be summoned at any time. The Dragon Emperor Residence will continue to investigate the spy. Hua Feihua, stay! "
Hua Feihua was stunned and then overjoyed. She looked at Li Yong as if to show off, but the latter snorted and left calmly after saluting. When there were only a few people left in the imperial study, Ji Yuyu continued, "Just now, the spies reported that the leaders of the allied forces will meet in the Rain Tingling Temple for a meeting. I intend to take this opportunity to catch them all!"
"What is your plan, Your Majesty?" Zhang Jingfu asked calmly.
"God Binding Ring!" Ji Yuyu looked at Hua Feihua and said, "You are not as good as Li Yong in investigating cases, and you are not as good as him as an official. But for this operation, you must take part. Are you confident?"
Hua Feihua said proudly, "As long as I can get within ten zhang of them, I am 100% confident!"
"Kuoting, I will leave this matter to you. You must let me hear the good news!" Ji Yuyu immediately decided.
"Yes!" Zhuang Kuoting nodded.
