Chapter 87: Shock the Righteous Path
When they saw Zhou An appear, Zui Dao Ren, Jin Xuan and others behind him all showed surprised expressions.
"Why does he look like Zhou Nan!" Jin Xuan showed a surprised expression.
"Idiot, Zhou Nan is the emperor. He is with us just to find out our information." Gongsun Haoyun became even more angry and felt that he and others had been betrayed.
The drunk Taoist frowned tightly with a complicated expression.
Xingchenzi and Fuyou Zhenren saw Zhou An's surprised expressions. They were very knowledgeable. Just now when Zhou An flew down, the power emanating from his body was condensed but not dispersed, and the power flowed like water, which was definitely not something that could be achieved by true qi.
Xingchenzi glanced at Fuyou Zhenren beside him, and saw shock in his eyes, and realized that his judgment was correct.
Both of them felt that it might not be so easy to get away with it this time.
Xingchenzi frowned and said, "The emperor has such achievements and adventures. Why doesn't he use them to benefit the world? Why does he want to harm the righteous path?"
"Xingchenzi, Fuyou Zhenren, you are all leaders of the righteous path, could it be that you are just like those juniors, blindly following what others say? It is true that you saw the Jinyiwei killing disciples from various sects, but seeing is believing only applies to ordinary people. For the world of immortal cultivation, the techniques of transformation and illusion are endless. The juniors are not skilled enough and may be deceived. Can't you see through it?" Zhou An asked back.
Seeing the two people's puzzled expressions, he continued: "There are many demons in the Qianyuan Empire. The demons dare not attack humans recklessly. The righteous should take the lead. You will think that I will ignore these and harm you.
This is harmful to the empire, and has no benefit. The reason why the five hundred righteous disciples were killed was because they were lawless and attacked the palace for no reason. This time you were deceived by the traitors and attacked the palace. I can let it go for now. Go back and see the truth and who is the real enemy. "
Master Fuyou frowned and asked, "Then who do you say it is?"
"You have heard of the Jitian Sect. The Western Region Voodoo was spread by these people in order to introduce Voodoo into the Qianyuan Empire and cause chaos in Qianyuan. They also secretly united with the Five Southern Kingdoms, the Canglong Empire, and the Ice and Snow Empire to attempt to attack the Qianyuan Empire.
Think about it, who is the ultimate beneficiary? If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate.
Of course, if you insist on doing what others want and fight to the death, I will naturally accompany you to the end. My Daqian Empire is not something that can be manipulated by others at will."
After Zhou An finished speaking, he raised his left hand and the Haotian Divine Seal appeared, floating in the sky and emitting a mighty power, exactly the same as the Haotian Tower.
Everyone was surprised to see this. There were only a few such top-grade fairy treasures in the world, and no one expected that the emperor had one.
Xingchenzi bowed and said, "Okay, I will believe what the emperor said. If our disciple is really killed by the emperor, the Sword Sect will never give up. When the time comes, our Sect Master will definitely bring out the Immortal Execution Sword to seek advice."
Immortal Fuyou also said: "The same is true for the Wanfa Sect. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
The two men put away their magic weapons, turned around and left with their disciples. Although the other sects were unwilling, when they saw the Haotian Divine Seal hanging above their heads, no one dared to try, and they could only wave their sleeves and leave in anger.
Finally, the Drunken Taoist looked at Zhou An. After the two looked at each other, the Drunken Taoist left with the Zhengyi disciples.
"Your Majesty." Shangguan Rong, Hua Wu Yue, Zhou Lingsha and others came over to pay their respects. They were all surprised that Zhou An actually had such a treasure.
After Zhou Lingsha bowed, she asked curiously, "Brother Emperor, where did you get this treasure? I've never seen you use it before."
Zhou An put away the Haotian Divine Seal, touched the girl's head and said with a smile: "I have a lot of blessings, how can you understand it."
At this time, Bai Lao and Mi Luo flew in with the other demon saints, and they all bowed and called out, "Master (Big Brother, Emperor)."
Seeing this group of demon saints, and the old white monkey and the ghost people in front seemed to make the group of demon saints behind them afraid, Shangguan Rong and Hua Wu Yue were surprised again.
Why is it that every once in a while, there is always a group of extraordinary people around the emperor, and Zhou An’s current strength is so strong that even Hua Wu Yue can hardly see through it.
"Let's talk inside." Zhou An took the lead and walked into Qianyuan Hall.
Zhou An sat on the dragon chair, Shangguan Rong and Hua Wu Yue sat on his left and right, and the others stood in front of him. The Ten Thousand Demon King was the first to speak: "Brother, arrest all the other invading demons. There are only two demon saints left, Jin Peng and You Ji. The others have been killed by the two seniors."
Hei Tian continued, "When Charming Bone Rabbit and Hundred Eyes Demon King were in the tower, they joined us and helped us kill the other Demon Saints."
"Your Majesty, we are willing to serve you." The Charming Rabbit, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King, the Golden Peng Bird, and the Golden Black Cat immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Originally, they had to bow their heads because of the strength of Bai Lao and Mi Luo. Now, when the four of them saw Zhou An's strength and the power of the Haotian Divine Seal, they instantly lost the idea of resistance.
Zhou An looked at the four people and said, "Since you are willing to surrender, your past crimes can be forgiven. Tomorrow morning, you and the brothers and sisters of the Ten Thousand Monster King and others should come together. I have other arrangements."
"Yes." The four answered in unison, and then stood respectfully behind the King of Ten Thousand Demons and others.
“Everyone, let me introduce you. This white ape demon is called Bai Lao, and this green ghost king is called Mi Luo. They are both my servants and will also be my close guards in the future.
They had already passed through the Nine Heavenly Tribulations three thousand years ago, and they are your predecessors. You can ask them for advice on cultivation." Zhou An said.
Hearing that he had passed the Nine-fold Heavenly Tribulation three thousand years ago, all the cultivators here were secretly amazed. They were still troubled and worried about the Nine-fold Heavenly Tribulation.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons and others then understood why these two were so powerful and their fighting style was obviously different from theirs.
Mi Luo asked: "Master, why did you let the righteous cultivators go? With your strength, you can completely wipe out the righteous. With us here, any demons and evil ways that dare to act recklessly in the Qianyuan Empire can be completely destroyed."
“Miro, you underestimate the Sword Sect and the Wanfa Sect. The Sword Sect’s Thirty-Six Celestial Sword Formation is known as the best sword formation in the mortal world, and that’s not just a random remark. Moreover, there’s the lethal weapon, the Immortal Execution Sword. The Jitian Sect Master has the strength of a semi-immortal, but he didn’t dare to attack them directly, which is enough to show their strength.
What's more, the Wanxiang Relics of the Wanfa Sect are said to be extremely strange. Not only can they create illusions that are equivalent to reality, but they are also said to be able to keep people under illusions forever, reaching the level of complete control over a person.
If it weren't for True Man Taiyi's own plot against the Zhengyi sect, the Zhengyi sect with the Haotian Tower would not have ended up like this so easily.
If we fight the Sword Sect and the Wanfa Sect head-on, except for me, Bai Lao, and Mi Luo, everyone else will die under the Zhuxian Sword, and even I may be controlled by the Wanxiang Relics." Zhou An said.
Miro was surprised. He felt inexplicably afraid when he thought of the Haotian Tower. He no longer wanted to fight against the immortal treasures of the same level as the Haotian Tower. These had already cast a huge shadow in his heart.
The Queen asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
"Golden Robe has been killed by me. Now that we know the real enemy behind this is Ji Tian Sect, we can prepare for a counterattack and collect intelligence on Ji Tian Sect. Lingsha, this is the method of regeneration, which comes from Golden Robe.
It is just right for those injured members of the Royal Guard to learn and recover their limbs. However, this method of cultivation must be kept as top secret, and no one else can know it except you. Send the Royal Guard to the Western Regions to investigate the Jitian Sect." Zhou An handed a booklet to Zhou Lingsha.
"Yes." Zhou Lingsha showed a happy expression. She was happiest that her subordinates were not disabled.
All the demon tribes established the Demon Department as an independent department of the empire, divided into the army and scouts, and became the first monk corps of the empire.
“No problem. We have captured more than a thousand monsters this time. If we ask the Hundred-Eyed Monster King, Charming Rabbit, Golden Silk Black Cat, and Golden Peng Bird to gather their subordinates, it will be enough to form an army of ten thousand monsters.
However, the military supplies needed by the demon race are much greater than those of ordinary people, so you should be mentally prepared, Big Brother." The Demon King said.
"Money is a small matter. You choose a place in the southern suburbs of Qianjing and build a demon army camp, which will be managed by the five of you." Zhou An said.
"Understood." The five people responded.
"Mr. Bai, as the chief instructor of the demon department, you should select the people you like and train them to become future demon generals." Zhou An said.
"Yes." Bai Lao replied.
Zhou An then took out a large amount of gold and silver, which almost filled up half of the hall. Shangguan Rong was dumbfounded. This amount was almost as much as the entire gold reserve in the national treasury.
Then he took out a huge amount of herbs again, and all of them were rare treasures, piling up half of the hall.
"Empress, you will arrange the gold. The demon army camp will be built, the formation will be set up outside the palace, and the demon suppression bureau will be built. We will recruit independent cultivators and evil ways to restrain them. This will play an important role in stabilizing the empire. You will arrange all of this.
Hua Wuyue, all these herbs should be handed over to Baihua Palace, and you will be responsible for refining the elixir. From now on, Baihua Palace will manage the elixir and use it to reward those who have made contributions. "
After Zhou An issued a series of orders, everyone obeyed them. No one felt much about the gold, after all, most monks rarely came into contact with money.
But those precious medicinal herbs shocked everyone. It was rare to see any one of them, let alone the mountains of them.
These things allow Hua Ling to refine elixirs, which are absolutely top-grade elixirs that will make all the sects in the world of immortal cultivation jealous.
"Okay, everyone go back and prepare. The Demon Department will be established and officially announced in the court tomorrow." Zhou An said.
Seeing Zhou An getting up to leave, Mi Luo quickly asked, "Master, what about me?"
"Don't be anxious, you have more important things to do. The Ji Tian Sect has not achieved the original purpose of this plan, and they will definitely come up with countermeasures. I am worried that something will happen at Linsha Pass in the Western Region. You take my token and go to Linsha Pass to assist the three imperial concubines and guard Linsha Pass. No matter what, we must not let voodoo spread to the country." Zhou An said.
"Understood." Miro loved fighting the most. After hearing the situation, he felt like going directly to the battlefield. He proudly showed off to Bai Lao and turned into a green wind and disappeared.
Zhou An asked everyone to go back to work. At this time, the wooden sign that the drunk Taoist had given him began to vibrate. He said to Shangguan Rong, "Queen, please wait for me in Qianyang Palace. I will come over later if I have something to do."
After saying this, he turned into a stream of light and flew away.
