These more than 30,000 people raised their heads and looked towards Taiyuan Daozun. They were very loyal to Taiyuan Daozun, but Taiyuan Daozun wanted to rebel against the Great Dao Court, which made them completely lose the confidence to follow Taiyuan Daozun.

Taoist Taiyuan turned and left without any further conversation with these loyal subordinates, and returned directly to the Daofang Palace.

After Taiyuan Daozun left, more than 30,000 people stood on the Tianxing Terrace for another hour before finally leaving.

Time passed, and soon nine hours had passed. The next day, the light released from the Sun Avenue broke through the darkness and cast the first ray of sunlight on the ground.

As soon as the hour of Chen arrived, the gates of Yancheng were closed, and three sounds of bells and chimes were rang out from the Miaofang Taoist Palace, echoing throughout Yancheng at dawn.

Inside the Daofang Hall, Daoist Master Taiyuan asked Fang Jian, "Tai Su has already attained the Heavenly Power Dao Authority and the position of Dao Ancestor. I heard from Yu Censhuang that you used the Xiantian Ziqing Heavenly Thunder to kill four First Purity Realm cultivators at once. Could it be that Dao Ancestor Tai Su was helping you?"

Fang Jian said casually: "Yes, after all, I am his apprentice."

As soon as these words came out, the Taoist Tai Su, who was in the Supreme Heaven's 'Tai Su Heavenly Palace', knelt down and bowed towards the direction of the Xuan Jian Dao Kingdom in the lower realm, saying: "I dare not, I dare not."

Tai Yuan Dao Zun in Dao Fang Hall was very happy to hear Fang Jian's words and said, "This is your greatest opportunity. With Dao Zu Tai Su as your backer, you will not end up in a dead end no matter what. In the future, when you have free time, you should pay more respect to Dao Zu Tai Su to show your filial piety."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, mother."

Inside the Taisu Heavenly Palace, the Taoist Taisu kowtowed to the ground and said, "I absolutely dare not."

After a while, Yu Censhuang walked in from outside the Daofang Hall and reported to Taiyuan Daozun and Fang Jian, "Lord, Young Master, it's already morning, and the city gates are closed."

Taiyuan Daozun asked, "How many people left?"

Yu Censhuang said expressionlessly, "More than 20,000 national heroes have left. Right General Yin Zhao, Director of the Court of Justice Luo Ying, Director of the Court of Geography Guang Ze, Director of the Court of Works Wang Heng, and others have all left the city with their clansmen."

Taiyuan Daozun asked, "Where is General Tang Ling?"

Yu Censhuang's expression relaxed slightly, and he said, "Left General Tang Ling and his entire family of ten are waiting outside the palace to see you."

Upon hearing this, Taiyuan Daozun immediately said, "Announce."

A moment later, Tang Ling walked into the hall with ten men, women, young and old. All of these people were Golden Immortals and followed Tang Ling very cautiously.

Tang Ling brought these people to the center of the hall and kowtowed, "I pay my respects to the king."

Taoist Taiyuan stood up and walked down the steps of the palace, and Fang Jian followed him down. "Stand up." Taoist Taiyuan stretched out his hand to support, and Tang Ling and others were immediately lifted up from the ground by a great force.

Tang Ling bowed his thanks, then pointed to the two middle-aged men and women behind him and said, "Lord, Young Master, these are my parents."

Tang Ling's parents immediately bowed to the Taoist Taiyuan. Tang Ling then introduced his brothers and sisters, his wife, and his children. Finally, he said, "My entire family of eleven swears to follow the king until death."

"We swear to follow the king until death." Tang Ling's family also bowed in unison.

Daoist Master Tai Yuan was slightly moved. He immediately stepped forward and helped everyone up. Then he said to Tang Ling, "Okay, Mr. Tang Ling, please send your family back to the mansion first, and then come to Tianxingtai to swear an oath."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ling immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your command."

Daoist Taiyuan then said to the maidservant beside him, "Give each of Tang Lingqing's family members a reward of 10,000 dusts of great power."

Hearing this, Tang Ling and his family were shocked, and then they all bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord, for the reward."

...

An hour later, at Miaofang Taoist Palace, Tianxingtai, Tang Ling led 10,000 Daluo Jinxian national warriors to stand on the Tianxingtai. They all swore to follow Taiyuan Taoist Master until death.

Led by Tang Ling, these ten thousand people swore an oath together to follow Taiyuan Daozun until death, never betray him, and leave the Dao Court!

Afterwards, Taiyuan Daozun also took an oath and made his own promise, that is, at this moment, including Yu Censhuang, Su Kuang and others, the one thousand spiritual officials, and Tang Ling and ten thousand others, regardless of failure, if they can achieve any success, they will share the victory with everyone.

This was actually a guarantee of interests. Tang Ling and the ten thousand people swore an oath of loyalty to follow Taiyuan Daozun, and Taiyuan Daozun swore with them that as long as he did not fail or perish, he would always be the first to guarantee the interests and status of everyone present.

Although Tang Ling and his men were very loyal and did not need Taiyuan Daozun's promises and oaths, Taiyuan Daozun had to do so. Loyal people must always be given preferential treatment.

After the oath was completed, Yu Censhuang stood up, took out the imperial edict and began to announce the "Notice to All Directions" in public:

First, the Xuanjian Dao Nation officially separated from the Dao Court, no longer obeying its laws, and established the "Zong" Nation. "Zong" means the supreme ruler of all things and the patriarch of all nations! Taiyuan Daozun was appointed the Great Emperor of the Zong Nation, the "Zong Emperor." Prince Fang Jian was appointed Crown Prince and granted the power of regent.

Second, "Yanzhou" was changed to "Silizhou" and the capital "Yancheng" was changed to "Chang'an".

Third, it was announced that the four great Daoist nations of Fuyu, Ganzhao, Jingshan, and Lingqi would be attacked.

Afterwards, the "Book to the Four Directions" was quickly sent to all the countries in the ten directions in the form of a letter. Within three months, the princes were in an uproar and Yujing was shaken.

Even the five assistant Taoist masters at the conference table did not expect that Taoist Master Taiyuan would be so resolute and decisive, and directly rebelled.

But after the five assistants realized what was happening, they were immediately overjoyed. This was definitely a good thing for them!

"Issue an edict immediately, and inform all the vassal states in the four directions to send troops to suppress the rebellion of Xuanjian Taoist Kingdom!" Taizhen Taoist Master gave the order.
