But they didn't expect that after such an investigation, they found that the other party's strength was far beyond their imagination.

"This unique way and means of raising monsters was obtained by the First Emperor from various figures in the world after he conquered the world. After all, death is the real suppression of the passage for monsters to travel between this world and death.

"The forces left behind by the First Emperor..."

Yu Zhifu felt heavy in his heart.

…

Zhang Mingtu felt relieved. The plan he had set up was actually very simple and crude. It was just a simple means of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Zhang Mingtu’s future brothers had used this tactic before, but it had basically no effect in the early stages. Only in the later stages, when Zhang Mingtu’s future brothers were strong enough, could this strategy of killing with a borrowed knife be used to inflict heavy damage on the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.

Now Zhang Mingtu can directly use this strategy in reality to get the Country of the Rising Sun involved in this incident.

There is indeed no complete version of the Nine Transformations of the Dragon and Snake in the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, because Zhang Mingtu did not write the whole thing in the Dragon Palace.

But when everyone in the world believed that the people of the Rising Sun Kingdom had the complete set of Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake, then the Rising Sun Kingdom also existed.

The people of the Land of the Rising Sun could not withstand investigation, especially when Kyoto paid full attention to it, the people of the Land of the Rising Sun were exposed all of a sudden, and the first to be exposed were the former Suzhou Du family.

“I never imagined that the intelligence and information about my future brother leading a large army to sea would be leaked and their support would be cut off, all because of the Suzhou Du family.

"The Suzhou Du family is considered a die-hard supporter of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun. However, in a surprising turn of events, it was actually the Suzhou Du family who were the most 'loyal to their country' and the first to expose the Kingdom of the Rising Sun."

Zhang Mingtu felt a hint of irony, but after experiencing a lot, he knew that this type of fence-sitters were the most numerous, and they would help whoever had the upper hand.

No one is forever steadfast and unwavering.

"What the many powerful families in Jiangnan did was truly earth-shattering. They actually sent people to send the remaining copies of the Dragon Snake Nine Transformations to the north."

When Zhang Mingtu first learned about this situation, he was also shocked. He thought that some people would do something very crazy, but he did not expect that the many wealthy families in Jiangnan would go to such a crazy extent in order to protect themselves.

The Nine Transformations of Dragon Snake Wine that appeared in the South was actually first reported to the court by the North, which attracted the court's imperial envoys and angels.

This is a truly earth-shattering event.

If such a thing had happened during the military period or during the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, all the people involved would have been killed.

But now, the person present has been in seclusion for many years, and it is rumored that he is pursuing Taoism and immortality.

The eldest prince has been regent for a long time, but he does not have the authority and ability that would shock the whole world.

All those involved in this matter must be killed. Even the one who broke through the barrier does not have the courage to do so. If you want to stop the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake, you must kill all the people involved in this matter in the entire Jiangnan area.

This involves too many nobles and powerful families. Ordinary people would not dare to do this. Even during the reign of Emperor Wu, he would only purge the largest local powerful families and not involve too many people, because there are really too many people involved.

"This is also a good thing. At least the Third Prince and the First Prince will focus their attention on the Kingdom of the Rising Sun and won't be tempted to target the northern barbarians."

Zhang Mingtu was certain of this because there was a secret report from the Third Prince on his desk.

The conversation between the two sides was very brief, allowing Zhang Mingtu to find out as much as possible about what happened in Jiangnan.

The third prince probably had not expected that things would happen so suddenly. The power of the royal family in the entire Jiangnan region was not obvious in this.

The eldest prince can directly use Huangquan to send the golden hairpin to investigate, but the third prince can only use his numerous connections to send various letters of assistance and carry out the investigation secretly.

Zhang Mingtu simply picked up his pen and, without much concealment, sent back all the news he had heard in Jiangnan.

He didn't need to hide anything about this matter.

Normal reports will naturally attract the attention of all royal family members.

In fact, it's not just the royal family.

Zhang Mingtu opened the window and stood up, gazing into the distance from his second-floor attic. The streets in the distance were crowded with people and traffic.

There are so many people coming and going, it seems no different from the past. After all, this is a commercial hub, and the number of people coming and going every day is unimaginable.

But Zhang Mingtu had sharp eyes and an incredibly powerful spiritual perception, and he could distinguish the strength of the auras of many people on the street.

"There are many Grandmasters hidden among them, and the number of people in the True Essence Realm is unimaginable, far more than before. There are Taoists and Buddhists, and there are also many independent cultivators or people from aristocratic families."

Zhang Mingtu looked carefully and found that many of the characters looked relatively relaxed, but their auras were quite solemn. Some were dressed in Taoist robes, while others were wearing yellow monk robes or plain monk robes.

Even the rappers and sundry vendors were 20% more numerous than usual, and many of them exuded a powerful aura, held back.

Zhang Mingtu remained calm, knowing that this situation would remain the norm for a long time to come. The incident in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River had undoubtedly alarmed the entire world, and even now, the number of people present wasn't large. Zhang Mingtu even suspected he might encounter a reclusive Martial Saint.
