Chapter 1273: The world returns to peace

It was an assassin! And he also has a two-step cultivation in the divine realm, such an assassin is rare to see in ten thousand years.

When did such a powerful assassin appear on the rivers and lakes?

Zhao Yanting couldn't think of who it was, although there were not many divine realm powers on the rivers and lakes, it was impossible for Zhao Yanting to know everything, and it was inevitable that all sects and factions would have hidden hole cards.

The most intuitive example, the previous Heavenly Demon Sect, such a sect that had declined undecently, do you dare to say that there is no divine realm power behind it?

No one can guarantee it.

The decline of the Heavenly Demon Sect was due to a big battle with the imperial court, and after both defeats, they had to withdraw from Jiuzhou.

But before the Great War between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Imperial Court, there were more than ten powerhouses in the God Realm. It's not much weaker than the current power gang.

Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Sect has its own secret realm, who dares to guarantee that the Heavenly Demon Sect does not have hidden divine realm powerhouses?

It's just a decline of 10,000 years, and 10,000 years is not enough to drag a god realm power to death.

Therefore, there are as many as a few hundred God Realm powerhouses on the surface, but there are probably a lot of God Realm powers hidden in the secret, after all, they have been accumulated over many years.

The Power Gang made every effort to shrink its territory, and the original territory of sixteen and a half continents was lost to six and a half continents, and because of the strategy, it took the initiative to retreat from two continents, and now the Power Gang only has eight continents left.

It can be said that this battle has directly halved the power and territory of the Power Gang.

The losses were heavy, and the foundation accumulated over the years was also consumed in this battle, which can be said to be a big defeat and loss.

But the Power Gang is still one of the top forces today, although Zhao Yanting lost, but he fought ten at a time, and there were three top ten powerhouses plus three imperial soldiers, under this kind of lineup, he was still able to retreat with his whole body.

Its deterrent power is even better than before the war.

The imperial court did not dare to force each other too much, otherwise if Zhao Yanting pulled down his face and carried out assassination, the imperial court would not be able to afford such consequences.

But in this battle, the imperial court did fight a beautiful turnaround, and the power gang was beaten back to the situation thousands of years ago.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, that is, it defeats the arrogance of the power gang and re-establishes the majesty of the imperial court.

All of a sudden, the situation of the world being reversed in an instant.

The world is at peace again.

―――――――――――――－

The head of the power gang and several high-ranking members of the gang gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.

Now the power gang has greatly damaged morale, and the whole gang is in a state of silence. Fortunately, Zhao Yanting's backbone is still there, so the Power Gang has not broken up.

"This seat has been injured, the most important thing now is to recover the injury with all your might, you are responsible for calming the losses and injuries in this gang, making every effort to restore the strength of the gang, and doing a good job in the defense of your own territory, and then make plans when the seat recovers from the injury. Zhao Yanting set a short-term strategy in just a few words.

The gang is newly defeated, and it is not appropriate to make a big move, but it still takes time to recover and smooth out the impact of failure.

Power helped this rising bird not to make trouble, and the world naturally returned to peace.

Although the imperial court won this time, its own losses were not small, and the power of the imperial court was basically controlled in the hands of the three princes and nine secretaries, and there was a question mark about how much was left in the hands of the emperor.

In addition, it was not only the imperial court that besieged the power gang, but also the forces of the eight kings of the world, who made a lot of profits in this war, because they were not fighting a frontal battlefield, and they were comfortable to pick up cheaply, and they increased their territory and made a fortune.

Of course, the cheap is cool, and then they have to take some risks, after all, the power gang can't stay dormant forever, there will always be a day to recover. Once the Power Gang regains its strength, it will inevitably make a comeback.

King Qi, King Jing, King Xuan and other five kings have picked up the bargain, but they also have to take on some responsibilities for suppressing the power gang.

In terms of the imperial court, Shangguan Taishi and the first lieutenant reached a consensus with the ministers in the court that the imperial court must continue to suppress the power gang and encroach on the power gang's power and territory step by step.

Otherwise, once left unchecked, it will automatically give up the fruits of victory that were originally in hand.

The Shangguan family and the first family have already offended the Power Gang, and naturally they will not easily watch the Power Gang recover again, so after they dominate the court, they naturally have to formulate a strategy to continue to suppress and encroach step by step, and they cannot let the Power Gang recover.

And even for this purpose.

The princes of the court reached a consensus with the five kings and worked closely together to unite the power of the court and the five kings to deal with the power gang.

Oh, and the beggars!

―――――――――――――－

It's just that the beggar gang has been hit hard one after another, and they can't recover for a while, and they can only provide corresponding intelligence support.

The world has rarely calmed down, and although the grievances and hatreds on the rivers and lakes are still continuing, this will not affect the pattern of the world.

The princes of the court joined forces with the five kings, in fact, they recognized their legal form of secession in disguise, which was simply betraying the interests of the current emperor.

This is a manifestation of the court beginning to empty the emperor's power.

The little emperor can't do anything about this, after all, starting from the overall situation, the actions of the princes of the court are not wrong.

Moreover, on the bright side, the eight kings did not raise the anti-flag. They were still part of the court, even if only in name.

The little emperor had no way to refute it.

Two years later, the imperial court healed the wounds of the war and entered the recovery phase. War materials are still in full swing, after all, this war, the imperial court did not completely win, and the next war may not be too far away.

Encroaching step by step, once it reaches a certain level, touching the bottom limit of the power gang, a new war will immediately break out.

On the first day of the new year, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.

Above the court, Yue Taifu, who had already received the instructions of the little emperor, stood up and said: "Tell the emperor, after investigation, the disappearance of Taishi Pang and Taiwei Tu back then was inseparable from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the emperor asked the emperor to severely punish such evil demons for crooked ways." ”

The idea of the emperor and Yue Taifu was very simple, that is, to use the power of the Shangguan family and the first family to meet the Heavenly Demon Sect, no matter who won or lost, the emperor would have benefits.

In essence, the Emperor did not want to do anything to the Heavenly Demon Sect, but a manifestation of the power struggle.

If the ancient family fights with the Heavenly Demon Sect and loses, the face will be lost and the influence will be greatly reduced, and the emperor can take the opportunity to regain more power in the court. If you win, it will naturally be better, and in the confrontation with the Heavenly Demon Sect, the loss is inevitable, and the Heavenly Demon Sect will definitely take revenge, and if you provoke them, it will definitely be enough for the ancient heirloom family to drink a pot.

The wishful thinking is absolutely fine.

After listening to Yue Taifu's words, the emperor immediately said: "What Taifu said is extremely true, I don't know what Taishi and Taiwei think?"

―――――――――――――－

Chapter 1274: Searching for the Emperor's Soldiers

"The ministers are opposed!" Shangguan Xiong objected without giving face at all, and did not take the face of the court in his eyes at all, in his opinion, such a thing as face is dispensable at all, and only benefits are real.

Entering the court is for profit, and fighting the power gang is also for profit.

But what is the benefit of being with the Heavenly Demon Sect? Is it just for the sake of face?

I'm sorry, the family is not a fool, the hard bone of the Heavenly Demon Sect, whoever touches it knows, people are hob meat, and they are not afraid of anything. Besides, how fierce is the Nine Peerless Heavenly Demons? Anyway, the representatives of the ancient heirloom family don't want to touch it.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thought that this matter needed to be considered in the long run, the court had just experienced a war, killed a thousand enemies, and lost eight hundred, and our losses were not small, and we needed to recover. Moreover, the main enemies of the imperial court are not the Heavenly Demon Sect, but the power gang and Zhao Yanting, who are ambitious and peep into the emperor's throne. The Power Gang will definitely make a comeback, and if the court is distracted in other aspects, there will be any important loss, once the preparations for the war against the Power Gang are delayed, the consequences will be unimaginable. The emperor must think twice. Shangguan Xiong's words are very reasonable.

To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Demon Sect will not threaten the chair under your ass.

But Zhao Yanting of the Power Gang, the goal is very clear, that is, the chair under your buttocks, if you don't want the chair to be replaced, you have to listen to us, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

This argument has been agreed by most of the court officials, after all, this is the most important conflict of interests, the emperor has been replaced, how can they deal with themselves as members of the court.

Don't they understand the truth of a son of heaven and a courtier?

If you change to a court, it may not endanger your life, and you can surrender if you can. But if you change the imperial court, you will definitely lose your current power and huge interests.

How could the officials in the court not even know the priorities of this point?

In fact, even Mrs. Yue, who raised this issue, knew how to choose, but the problem was that he also needed to cater to the emperor's requirements, so he had to stand up and throw out this topic.

―――――――――――――－

Most of the officials in the court were against it, and the little emperor had no way to exclude public opinion, after all, his prestige had not reached that level, and if he really had such prestige, he would not lose the right to rule outside the core nine continents.

After the court meeting, the little emperor turned back to the harem dissatisfied, came to the martial arts training ground in a rage, practiced weapons, and vented his dissatisfaction.

To become an emperor is also to cultivate, even if it is just to live for a longer period of time.

The little emperor only has the cultivation of the second step of the Heavenly Realm, and he can live for more than a thousand years.

Being an emperor for more than a thousand years is also making a lot of money.

However, the Great Wei Heavenly Dynasty dares to claim the Heavenly Empire, naturally there are goods, above the court, the masters are like clouds, none of them are five steps below the Heavenly Realm, and all of them can live for more than two thousand years.

The emperor lives for a thousand years, and the ministers live for a thousand years, all of them are immortal-like figures, which is called the Celestial Empire.

If the ministers and emperors in the court are all short-lived ghosts, where can they be qualified to be called the Celestial Empire?

The emperor of the Celestial Empire is not easy to be, not only must he be familiar with the emperor's mind and be able to govern the country, but also be strong and profound, otherwise how can he control the field?

However, the good thing is that the emperor has been in power for a long time and has enough time to raise a qualified crown prince.

The reason why the Great Wei Celestial Dynasty changed from prosperity to decline was also because the emperor died too suddenly 10,000 years ago, and he did not have time to cultivate a qualified heir.

As a result, the successor was unqualified, and he died before he lived for eight hundred years, and then the emperor was one after another, all rookies. The emperor's power weakened from generation to generation, and then the world became like this.

It's no wonder that the little emperor hates the Heavenly Demon Sect so much.

Because it was the Heavenly Demon Sect that knocked the heyday of the Great Wei Dynasty to the dust.

Both sides were defeated, and they were almost wiped out.

Both sides are in irrepressible decline.

But ten thousand years later, the imperial court has not recovered, and it is even getting weaker and weaker, and the Heavenly Demon Sect has begun to flourish, and if you are a little emperor, you will also be psychologically unbalanced, and you hate the Heavenly Demon Sect to death.

Now in the Great Wei Dynasty, the emperor's power is simply unable to do what he says, and the cadres are arbitrary. The little emperor wanted to seek revenge from the Heavenly Demon Sect, but was rejected by the princes in the court.

―――――――――――――－

From the defeat of the Power Gang, the world returned to a calm pattern, which lasted for a full three hundred years.

In the past three hundred years, there have been no major wars, and there have been small wars.

The territory of the Power Gang has been swallowed up by another continent, and the situation looks very bad, and the entire power of the Power Gang has been surrounded, which makes the Power Gang seem to be the enemy of the whole world.

The high-level leaders of the Power Gang endured, and they were waiting for Zhao Yanting to come out.

Zhao Yanting, who has been in retreat for 300 years, really got out.

In the hall of the gang, the high-level officials of the Power Gang saluted Zhao Yanting in unison and said, "Welcome to the gang leader." ”

"Over the years, you have worked hard, no need to be polite, sit down. Zhao Yanting nodded and raised his hand.

When the middle and senior leaders of the gang heard this, they all sat down and said, "Thank you, Gang Master." ”

Zhao Yanting opened his mouth and said: "The difficulties encountered by this gang recently have all passed, this seat is out of the customs, and everything else is just a chicken, a tile, and a dog." ”

"Helper, strike out and reclaim our lost territory. ”

"Helper, your subordinates can't bear it anymore, as long as you give an order, the brothers can attack at any time and destroy those annoying flies around. ”

"Helper......

Everyone's sense of invitation to war is very high, and the defeat of 300 years ago did not defeat them, but made them feel ashamed and courageous.

"Chen Ting, how did you check the matter I asked you to check before the retreat?" Zhao Yanting asked.

Zhao Yanting did not express whether he wanted to take the initiative or not, but asked about other things.

"Returning to the master, most of the imperial soldiers in the world are in the hands of the top forces of all parties, and they are all difficult to mess with, and the ownerless imperial soldiers are basically in the tomb of the emperor, and there has been no tomb of the emperor in the past few years. If you want to find an ownerless emperor soldier, it is too much of a test of chance. Chen Ting shook his head and sighed.

In the first battle three hundred years ago, Zhao Yanting realized the strength of the imperial soldiers, and knew very well that if there was no imperial soldier in his hands, it would be difficult to resist the imperial court.

Therefore, Zhao Yanting understood that if he wanted to realize his ambitions, he had to find an imperial soldier to protect himself.

But the problem is that the imperial soldiers in the world are very rare, and the vast majority of them are in the hands of top forces, which is not difficult to check. There are even some forces that suppress more than one imperial soldier!

There is more than one imperial soldier of the four ancient sects, but so what?

Zhao Yanting did not have the ability to snatch the imperial soldiers from these forces.
