East. The Beihao family, after betraying the Heavenly Palace and letting the people of the three empires from the Ghost Pass, has actually been uneasy.

Although there were Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Golden Goose Sect, and Mulan Valley behind them, and the Soul Hall behind them, the Heavenly Palace's prestige still couldn't calm them down.

Sure enough, it has only been less than a month, the three major empires have collapsed, and even their hometowns have been taken by the Heavenly Palace, and those ghosts in the Soul Hall have run faster than rabbits, without the slightest discipline.

And after hearing that the three powerhouses were destroyed, the Hao family consciously fled to the Black Corner Domain.

It's a pity that he was still caught by the strong man of the world.

There are more than 1,000 people in the Hao family, and now only the patriarch Hao Jian is alive. All the rest were punished on the spot by the Douwang Douhuang of the Heaven and Earth Net!

"Say, Hao Jian, I'll give you a chance to defend yourself."

Zhou Chen supported the armrest of the throne with both hands, leaned forward, and said coldly: "Why do you want to betray the Heavenly Palace?" The position of the commander of the Heaven and Earth Network that I gave you is not big enough? ”

“…… No. Hao Jian's gray and old facial muscles trembled for a moment, and then said coldly.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen said suspiciously: "That's why I asked your Hao family to hand in your martial arts fighting skills, which touched the core interests of your Hao family?" ”

"It's not ......," Hao Jian continued to shake his head.

Without waiting for Zhou Chen to ask again, Hao Jian finally couldn't help it. His eyes widened, his hair stood up, and he almost roared: "Zhou Chen, do you still remember, my brother, Hao Qiang, who is also the Douling Elder of the Hao family?" ”

"Hao Qiang?"

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a long time, what the hell is Hao Qiang, how can he remember a fighting spirit-level goods!

Hearing this, the little doctor fairy beside Zhou Chen blinked, and then turned red. Moisten the mouth. His lips came to Zhou Chen's ear and whispered, "That's when you first came...... Treasure Cave in Castle Peak Town......"

“…… I see. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Chen's face changed several times, and he finally remembered this incident four or five years ago.

That's when he just came with a lot of vindictiveness. Lu, when he had just abducted the little medicine fairy. After exploring the treasure cave of a mysterious powerhouse and obtaining the Pure Lotus Demon Fire Remnant Diagram, he was blocked by the Snake Nest Mercenary Group in Qingshan Town and an elder of the Hao family.

In order to overturn this Hao family elder, he also got the Douhuang Yunyun experience card with the system, and threw the black pot to the Yunlan Sect......

But it's been so long since this happened, why are the people of the Hao family still holding on?

Seeing Zhou Chen's doubtful gaze in his memory, Hao Jian, who was kneeling on the ground, became even more angry. His kneeling legs moved forward vigorously, and he roared angrily: "Zhou Chen, do you think that if you framed this matter to the Yunlan Sect, I won't be able to find out?" What's more, now you and Yunyun are cheap. Human beings are one......"

"Presumptuous! Dare to insult Madame, cut off your tongue! ”

A broken shout sounded, and immediately, Ling Yi, who was the leader of the Heaven and Earth Net, suddenly appeared, and a black dense fog appeared, condensed into a dagger, and cut off Hao Jian's tongue in an instant.

The reason why Ling Yi shot so hard was completely because he hated Hao Jian very much.

Hao Jian, who was one of the twelve commanders of the Tianluo Net, betrayed, and the hundreds of elites of the Tianluo Net, to whom Hao Jian belonged, were all lured by him. killed, among them was a distant cousin of Ling Yi.

Therefore, the two brothers, Ling Yi and Ling Shi, took the initiative to ask Ying to arrest the Hao family this time, and slaughtered everyone in the Hao family with extreme cruelty, leaving only Hao Jian alone.

"Ahem, Ling Yi, above the main hall, how can you be allowed to execute at will?"

On the throne, Zhou Chen looked at Hao Jian, who was full of blood and kept crying, frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction.

He hasn't finished asking yet. Moreover, it is a bit cruel to deal with an old man in his fifties and sixties in this way. The caring Zhou Chen is really a little unbearable.

But that's it, forget it. Tiangong has more important things to deal with.

Waving his hand, motioning for Ling Yi to drag Hao Jian down to deal with it, Zhou Chen continued: "It's been nearly three years since I went back to the Heavenly Palace to take a look. Therefore, many systems of the Heavenly Palace have been neglected. ”

"For example, local families such as the Hao family rebelled! This kind of bad incident will never be allowed to happen again! ”

After a pause, the ring in Zhou Chen's hand flashed slightly, and he suddenly took out a copy of the "Guiding Outline for the Development of the Heavenly Palace" compiled by him, pretending to be a life mentor, and said in a deep voice: "In order to prevent local rebellions, I am ready to strengthen the centralization of power and establish the Heavenly Palace Empire!" ”

"In other words, from now on, the Heavenly Palace will no longer be a high-ranking sect force, but an empire that penetrates deep into the people and controls every inch of territory!"

"Emperor...... Imperial? ”

Hearing this, there was an uproar below, and everyone didn't quite understand, how was this Heavenly Palace Empire different from the original Heavenly Palace?

Especially Jia Xingtian, as the Emperor of the Gama Empire, he knew the operation mode of the empire very well, but he didn't think the empire was very powerful.

In this Northwest Continent, and even in the entire Zhongzhou, the powerful forces are all sects! Empires are small powers that don't stand on the table.

Therefore, Jia Xingtian glanced at Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye immediately understood, stood up and asked suspiciously: "Brother Zhou Chen, are you doing this...... What does it mean? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Chen didn't answer, but was silent for a moment and said, "Xiao Ye, what do you think, what is the difference between the empire and the sect?" ”

The night wrinkled the lovely Joan. Nose, confused, didn't understand why Zhou Chen suddenly asked this.

However, after thinking about it, Xiao Ye still said: "I'm afraid there is no difference, as far as I know, in that strong and prosperous Zhongzhou, there is not even an empire, it is ruled by one sect and family, probably only our strong Northwest University. Lu, in order to barely maintain one empire after another. ”

Zhou Chen was quite surprised by the return of the young night, but he didn't expect the young night to have such insight. But thinking about the original plot, Xiao Ye was known for his outstanding resourcefulness, and he was relieved.

However, Zhou Chen still shook his head and said, "Xiao Ye, your opinion has some truth, but you have not touched the essence of the problem!" ”

"Now there are many empires in the Northwest Continent, and they are almost no different from the sects. For example, the Mulan Empire, which surrendered to our Heavenly Palace, is itself a force in front of the stage supported by the sect force Mulan Valley! ”

In other words, what they built was never an "empire", but just a sect in the garb of an empire! ”

"But a true empire is different! The real empire has too much advantage over the power of the sect! ”

Zhou Chen paused, stood up, put his hands behind his back and said, "The difference between the empire and the sect is that it is centralized!" It's all about the amount of resources that can be mobilized! ”
