After the last battle in Xishuozhou, the Heavenly Court suffered heavy losses, and 100,000 people either fled in all directions or died in the war.

Now Daozu Haotian has lost the battle with Daozu Taiwu, but with the mediation of Daozu Taisu, the remaining people in Heaven began to leave Xishuozhou and head for Zongguo.

The reason why Daozu Taisu came forward to mediate was naturally because he had received instructions from Fang Jian. Therefore, after Daozu Haotian opened up the "Haotian Palace" in the Supreme Sky, he began to use his great power to send all the people in the Heavenly Court of Xishuozhou to the Zong Kingdom.

At the same time, Emperor Taiyuan also put up a banner of no war at Xingping Pass. However, even if he did not put up a banner of no war, after losing the "Liangyi Dingkong Plate", the rulers of the four countries would not launch an offensive against Xingping Pass in a short time.

At the same time, Fang Jian had already made preparations in Chang'an City. All areas of Chang'an City had been planned and rebuilt, and the people from the Heavenly Court could just "move in with their bags" when they arrived.

Just one month after the three Dao Ancestors held their meeting in the Supreme Sky, under the mighty escort of Dao Ancestor Haotian, the only 4,000 remaining citizens of the Dao Kingdom of Tianting all entered the city of Chang'an, greeted by Fang Jian.

Among these people, the leaders are mainly three people, namely Wuliang Zumo, Sakyamuni, and Jiutian Xuannu.

But they are mainly led by the Queen Mother of the West, because she is still the prince of the Heavenly Court Dao Kingdom. As for the remaining more than 3,000 people, they are all citizens of the Heavenly Court Dao Kingdom.

In other words, the backbone of the Tianting Dao Kingdom, those nobles, had basically all been killed in the previous battle in Xishuozhou. This was a huge loss.

As soon as they met, Shakyamuni said to Fang Jian, "Who would have thought that the Taoist Master Hongqing, who once upheld the Heavenly Law, would now rebel? It's truly a case of karma."

Fang Jian also laughed and said, "Master Fo, where is your sacred mountain?"

Shakyamuni smiled and pointed downwards, saying, "It's down there."

At this time, Wuliang Zumo asked Fang Jian again, "I heard that you killed all the demons in the lower realm?"

But before Fang Jian could answer, Wuliang Zumo continued, "Well done for killing them! They were a bunch of useless people who couldn't even rebel. If they were allowed to live, they would only bring shame to me."

Fang Jian smiled and said, "We didn't kill them all. We just suppressed a few."

Wuliang Zumo said: "We have to continue to embarrass ourselves."

At this time, the Lady of the Nine Heavens said, "Fang Jian, where is the Great Emperor Taiyuan?"

Fang Jian looked at the Lady of the Nine Heavens and said, "My mother is guarding Xingping Pass and has handed over all state affairs to me. From now on, I will be in charge of the merger with the Heavenly Court on behalf of the Zong Kingdom."

The Lady of the Nine Heavens nodded, then pointed to the four thousand citizens of the Heavenly Court Dao Kingdom behind her and said, "Fang Jian, these are all citizens of our Heavenly Court Dao Kingdom. Please make arrangements for them first."

Fang Jian immediately turned to Yu Censhuang and said, "You will do this."

Yu Censhuang bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Yu Censhuang then led a group of Zongguo officials forward and said to the four thousand people from the Heavenly Court: "Fellow Daoists, please follow me. From now on, Chang'an City will be your new home."

The four thousand people all looked towards the Lady of the Nine Heavens. She knew that they were a little scared after leaving their homes and coming to this unfamiliar place, so she said to Xian'er beside her, "Xian'er, take them with this fellow Taoist from the Zong State. Remember, everything must be arranged by this fellow Taoist from the Zong State."

Upon hearing this, Xian'er immediately accepted the order and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."

With Xian'er's leadership, the four thousand people from Tianting were no longer afraid or hesitant, but followed Yu Censhuang and others along the wide street towards the east of Chang'an City.

Afterwards, Fang Jian personally led Wuliang Zumo, Sakyamuni, and Jiutian Xuannu to his own Zhengwei Palace to stay temporarily, and discussed the merger of the Heavenly Court and the Zong Kingdom.

"Fo Lao, Zu Mo, Yu Luan, you just arrived in Chang'an City today. You should take a good rest for the next two days. We can discuss the merger of the two countries in three days. How about that?" After taking a seat in the main hall of Zhengwei Palace, Fang Jian asked Jiu Tian Xuan Nu and the other two.

'Yuluan' is the real name of Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, and the name Jiu Tian Xuan Nu is both a 'Daoist name' and a 'respected title'. This was told to him by Jiu Tian Xuan Nu when he was in Hanhaizhou last time, and it also untied Fang Jian's knot in his heart.

Wuliang Zumo said, "Daoist Ancestor Haotian has already instructed that this matter is entirely under the responsibility of Daoist Fellow Jiutian Xuannu. I don't want to get involved."

Shakyamuni also smiled and said, "Yes, you two can just discuss this matter. I plan to travel around the states under the jurisdiction of this sect."

Fang Jian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Jiu Tian Xuan Nu. Jiu Tian Xuan Nu smiled and said, "Master has indeed said that this matter can be decided by you and me. After the decision is made, we will go to Haotian Palace to meet him together."

Fang Jian nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

Afterwards, Sakyamuni and Wuliang Zumo went to their respective palaces to rest under the guidance of the attendants of Zhengwei Palace, while Jiutian Xuannu stayed in the main hall.

Fang Jian said to her, "I have also prepared a palace for you in Chang'an City. What do you think it should be called?"

The Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens smiled as she stared at Fang Jian quietly, but said nothing.

Fang Jian smiled slightly upon seeing this, and then asked again, "So what do you think of Zhengwei Palace?"

"Very good." Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu nodded.

Fang Jian asked, "How about you staying at Zhengwei Palace?"

The Lady of the Nine Heavens smiled and said, "Very good."

Fang Jian asked again, "Then let's change the name of Zhengwei Palace. What do you think is a good name?"

Jiu Tian Xuan Nu pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Taoist name is Hong Qing, and mine is Jiu Tian Xuan Nu. Let's take one character from each of us and call it 'Qing Xuan Palace', shall we?"

Fang Jian said, "The word 'Xuan' should be placed in front, so it can be called 'Xuanqing Palace'."
