Zhang Yu finished reading the letter. He saw that Zhu Zonghu's tone throughout the entire letter was one of treating an equal ally, and he even made many promises at the end.
He obviously felt that he could be a "Celestial Being", so he hoped to contact more Celestial Beings through him. Then, both sides would work together to try to seize the authority of the Hao Clan.
He thought for a moment. It wasn't strange for Zhu Zonghu to send such a letter. Zhu Zonghu looked quite impressive on the surface, but in reality, he was standing on the edge of a cliff. A casual edict from King Xi would be able to strip him clean of all his glory.
If it were anyone else, they would not feel at ease in such a situation. Thus, he urgently needed a force to support him. Now that the Mystic disciple had been recognized as a "Celestial," he could clearly try to rope her in.
Although many Xuanxiu disciples hadn't shown much cultivation yet, it wasn't without reason that Zhu Zonghu had taken a fancy to them. Not to mention other things, just the fact that they could come back from the dead was enough. This meant that even if they didn't have any cultivation, as long as they could wear the outer armor of creation, they could be of great use.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. Although many Xuanxiu disciples had come to this world, there were still many who hadn't joined any forces. Some were still scattered across the vast land. Zhu Zonghu's recruitment at this moment provided a place for them to go.
He wouldn't force anyone on this matter. It was all up to their own free will.
After thinking about it, he summoned Xuntian Dao Zhang and found Yan Yuming. He said, "Yuming, tell them something for me."
Yan Yuming hurriedly said, "Teacher, please tell me."
Zhang Yu explained the general situation and said, "This matter depends on each person's resources. There's no need to force anyone."
Yan Yuming said, "Yes, I understand."
After finishing his conversation with Zhang Yu, he immediately brought this matter to Xuntian Dao Zhang. The news spread quickly in the Dao chapter. In a short time, most people knew about it.
Many Xuanxiu disciples found this strange. Ever since they entered the secular world, most people had been hostile to them. Even when they entered a cultivation sect, they did their best to hide their identities.
The sects from outer space were willing to accept them, but only a small portion of them went there. This was the first time on Earth that someone was willing to take the initiative to recruit them.
Someone immediately asked, "Does anyone know the background of this Zhu Zonghu?"
After a while, someone finally replied, "I'm at the Creation Institute near Guangdu. I know this person. He said that he's King Xi's successor. King Xi is currently one of the three great sect masters of the Vast Clan."
These words immediately aroused the interest of some people, who said, "In that case, this person's status in this world is very high, and he is also very powerful?"
"On the contrary, this person is only chosen as a substitute because King Xi has no descendants, and he doesn't want to use the people of the Upper Region as his successor. As a result, the people of the Upper Region are held hostage. This person also doesn't have his own territory and people like the other Vast Clan relatives, so his status is very unstable."
The person who spoke clearly understood the past history of the Vast Clan. He briefly explained the changes in the three capitals of the Vast Clan, the comprehensive governance methods of the Vast Clan relatives, the old people, the current people, the succession of the King, and the internal strife of the royal family.
This person was very eloquent, and many parts were extremely interesting. In particular, the part about the internal strife of the royal family was full of ups and downs. One might think that one was the winner today, but it was very likely that one would be dragged down from the throne tomorrow.
The disciples listened with great interest. After he finished speaking, everyone still wanted to hear more. However, this way, they could understand Zhu Zonghu's situation.
"In that case, this person is at a time when he has no fate and is helpless? He said that he is willing to form an alliance with us, but it is just a groundless promise. In reality, he wants to borrow our strength? "
"You can't say that. After all, this person is a relative of the Vast Clan, and he is also the grandson of the previous Vast Emperor. As long as he has not been excommunicated, he has the qualifications to fight for the throne."
Someone said excitedly, "In that case, if this person is truly willing to form an alliance with us, perhaps we can help him ascend to the throne of Vast Emperor? Perhaps we can even set up a territory for ourselves. "
These words immediately aroused the enthusiasm of many Xuanxiu disciples. If they succeeded in this kind of matter of assisting one person, influencing the situation of Tianxia, and then pushing him to the throne, they would feel a great sense of accomplishment. Even if they didn't succeed, it didn't matter. They were not afraid of death. At worst, they could just come back and try again.
The key was that there was a place that would accept them, so they could cultivate in peace. Once their cultivation increased, where could they not go?
Yan Yuming saw that everyone was discussing animatedly and enthusiastically, so he said, "Fellow Daoists, if you have such intentions, you can tell me. I will find a way to recommend everyone to go to that place."
Two months later, Zhu Zonghu withdrew his troops and returned to Guangdu. As soon as he returned, he received two pieces of news.
One was that King Xi had severely punished the Zhi Cheng Institute, but he did not implicate Zhu Yeheng, Zhu Wuhu, because of this. Instead, he gave Zhu Yeheng a spiritual creature of the Myriad Spirit Realm for safety reasons.
One had to know that this was the treatment that only Zhu Zonghu, the successor, had received in the past. Originally, everyone thought that Zhu Yeheng would be in trouble this time. Those who were trying to distance themselves from him were greatly surprised, and they all tried to mend their relationship with him.
However, Zhu Zonghu did not panic at all, because this was just as he had predicted. King Xi was using this strategy to appease him. You did something wrong, but not only did I not punish you, I even gave you benefits. Thinking about it, he knew that something was wrong.
The other news was that King Xi had given him a fief because of his military achievements this time. Although the territory was small, the population was poor, and it did not even have a Creation Institute, which was not the treatment that King Xi's successor should receive, it was still a good start.
Zhu Zonghu was also slightly excited. After being the successor for more than twenty years, he finally had a fief that belonged solely to him.
After hearing this news, he ordered someone to invite Zhang Yu over and asked, "Has Mister Tao managed to get in touch with those 'Celestials'?"
Zhang Yu replied, "According to Zhu Zonghu, we have indeed found a few Celestials in the past two months."
Zhu Zonghu's eyes lit up as he asked, "Oh? Where are these Celestials? "
Right now, he was extremely thirsty for talents. Even though King Xi had allocated some money and manpower to him, he still had to rely on himself to rebuild his fief.
Zhang Yu replied, "I can recommend them on Zhu Zonghu's behalf, but they first want to know if Zonghu's promise is true."
Zhu Zonghu looked at him and said with a Solemnly expression, "These words are true. This Zhu is not joking."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I will pass on this message to these 'Celestials'. They will come to visit Zonghu in a few days. Zonghu can personally speak to them."
Zhu Zonghu was overjoyed when he heard this. He bowed seriously and said, "I will leave everything to Mister Tao."
Three days later, Yan Yuming and another Xuanxiu called Yin Huanting came to visit.
Yin Huanting could be considered an old acquaintance of Zhang Yu's. Back in the Hanging Star Palace, the two had interacted before. He had always been on good terms with Shi Yanxin, Yu Ruiqing, and the others. His original body had also cultivated to the fourth chapter long ago.
Zhu Zonghu attached great importance to this matter. Because the palace in his fief was still being reinforced and rebuilt, he arranged for the meeting place to be on the flying boat and personally stood in front of the flying boat to welcome them.
When the two of them arrived, he carefully sized them up and found that their attire was somewhat similar to that of Creator Alchemists. Both of them wore robes that covered their bodies. Their appearances were not too different from the Hao Clan and the cultivators he had seen before. The only difference was that their limbs were more proportionate, their figures were taller, and their appearances were very handsome and upright.
After greeting the two of them, he invited them onto the boat. After a few words, he found that Yin Huanting had his own views on how to govern and pacify the people. He did not seem like a so-called cultivator at all, but rather an official who was proficient in worldly affairs.
This was not strange at all. Yin Huanting had cooperated with the garrison to take charge of a planet stationed outside. He had plenty of experience. Especially in a place where battles were constantly happening outside. Everything was to serve military purposes, so what Yin Huanting said was very much to Zhu Zonghu's liking.
Zhu Zonghu was good at acting. Even when he was talking to Yin Huanting, he did not neglect Yan Yuming. At first, he thought that this person did not speak much and was only there to serve as a foil. However, after a few words, he found that this person was very familiar with how to organize cultivators and how to use them to do things. He also had a certain understanding of Creation, which greatly surprised him.
In fact, the questions he asked were not complicated for the two of them. Even if he asked something that the two of them did not know, the two of them could ask someone else through Xuntian Dao Zhang. This was the power of Xuanxiu. When some Xuanxiu were willing, then each of their knowledge could be shared.
After this long conversation, Zhu Zonghu was very impressed with the talents of the two of them. At the same time, he also thought that if these celestial beings were all so powerful, then if he formed an alliance with them, the possibility of him seizing the power of the Hao Clan would undoubtedly be greater.
Solemnly, he said, "Both of you, that day I told Mister Tao that I am willing to form an alliance with the celestial beings. If I obtain the power of the Hao Clan, I am willing to share the world with the celestial beings. This promise still stands."
If he were Emperor Hao, perhaps he would feel heartache over this promise. However, he had nothing now, so he could naturally make big promises. Moreover, he was very clear that working for himself and working for others were completely different.
In fact, even if he became Emperor Hao, he could not completely rule over the land. He still needed those who supported him to maintain his rule and suppress the old forces.
Yin Huanting nodded and said, "We have seen Zhu Zonghu's sincerity. We need to go back and discuss it. We will give Zhu Zonghu a response within these few days."
After the conversation ended, Zhu Zonghu personally sent the two of them off. After the two of them left the city, they brought this conversation to Xuntian Dao Zhang.
When the many Xuanxiu disciples saw this, they all felt that this place was very promising.
The key was that the other party had formed an alliance with them as equals. Moreover, he did not restrict them from withdrawing. He only gave them the power of the Hao Clan in the future and a safe place in exchange for their support. Many people were interested in this. Therefore, in a short period of time, thousands of Xuanxiu disciples gathered here.
