When Yang Cheng left the Great Zhou World, Yin Wuxie and the others were only at the peak of the ninth level, making them experts in the martial arts world.
Now they have all reached the eighth level, which is considered to be the level of a grandmaster.
Yin Wuxie said, "After you went into seclusion, His Majesty gave my Zhenwu Hall an important position, so my Zhenwu Hall was able to obtain the most resources, and we could also freely browse the martial arts manuals in the Scripture Pavilion."
Furthermore, the venerable Lord Zhou Yan, who manages the Sutra Repository, has given us much guidance, which is why our abilities have improved so much.
Yang Cheng nodded.
That's one reason, but another reason should be that the upper limit of power in this world has changed, resulting in abundant spiritual energy, and the power of these cultivators themselves has also begun to increase.
Since arriving in this world, Yang Cheng has had a feeling that the spiritual energy around him has become stronger.
The Night Wanderer Fang Mingjun had told him before that mutations would be discovered in this world, and now it seems that it is indeed true.
Although Yin Wuxie and Ye Meiniang came from humble backgrounds, they were quite talented.
Normally, with their strength, it would take them at least a decade to reach the Eight Gates realm so quickly.
As a result, he has already reached the eighth level of the martial arts realm in just three years. In this world, he can be considered a master-level expert, which is absolutely contrary to common sense.
"By the way, you just said that someone is bullying my Zhenwu Hall. Who did it? Who has such audacity?"
During the last world settlement, Yang Cheng made a great contribution by saving the emperor, which had already established the Zhenwu Hall's position.
So, in the entire Great Zhou court, who would dare to bully the Zhenwu Hall? Could it be Grand Tutor Cai Yan?
But that old guy is pretty shrewd; he probably wouldn't have the guts.
Ye Meiniang said angrily, "It's those bastards from the Wuwei Army!"
Then, Ye Meiniang recounted to Yang Cheng all the big and small things that had happened during the three years that Yang Cheng had been in seclusion.
After Yang Cheng left, the Great Zhou court was actually stable for a few months.
Zhou Heng was utterly disheartened by his son's rebellion and spent his days indulging in wine and women, neglecting state affairs.
Of course, that's nothing.
With Zhou Heng's abilities, he wouldn't be able to come up with anything logically.
Fortunately, the civil service system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still very complete. Even if a dog were chained up in the capital, the government affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty could still operate normally.
The real upheaval occurred six months later when the Thirty-Six Great Bandits officially rebelled, sweeping across several counties in the eastern part of the Central Plains, under the banner of avenging their brothers and overthrowing the emperor.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was truly terrified and mobilized several armies to quell the rebellion, but all of them suffered extremely crushing defeats.
At this time, only one army stood up to block the rebel army of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits and held them off, preventing them from expanding further.
This army was the Wuwei Army, a previously unknown force that was not considered the elite of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it managed to hold off the rebel army of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits.
Dugu Cheng, the commander of the Wuwei Army, severely injured several of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits, making him famous throughout the land.
From then on, the Wuwei Army began to expand, conquering east and west without ever suffering a defeat.
Dugu Cheng was also granted the title of Grand General, wielding immense power in the court. The Wuwei Army became the strongest army in the Great Zhou Dynasty, stationed in the heart of the Central Plains, with a strength exceeding 300,000.
Previously, Yang Cheng led the Zhenwu Hall to personally break the tradition of the Great Zhou Dynasty that valued civil officials over military officials. Civil officials were only responsible for political affairs and had almost no say in the military.
Grand Tutor Cai Yan was extremely cunning and dared not challenge Dugu Cheng at this time, which led to the Wuwei Army becoming extremely arrogant.
At first, the Wuwei Army was just arrogant within the army, but later Dugu Cheng reported that he was worried about the safety of the capital, so he specially dispatched the most elite First Army of the Wuwei Army to be stationed in the capital to help the Imperial Guards guard the capital. In reality, it was a coup.
Originally, the defense of the capital was in the hands of the Zhenwu Hall, and the Imperial Guards also obeyed the Zhenwu Hall.
Now that the Wuwei Army has arrived, there have been many conflicts with the Zhenwu Hall over their authority, and the two sides have had many frictions.
With Yang Cheng absent and Dugu Cheng wielding immense power, the Zhenwu Hall has been subjected to considerable suppression recently.
Yang Cheng squinted and said, "Didn't you go to His Majesty to complain?"
Emperor Zhou Heng is still a man of principle. Yang Cheng saved Zhou Heng's life back then, and he won't ignore the current situation of Zhenwu Hall.
Yin Wuxie smiled bitterly: "We have filed a complaint, but now the entire Great Zhou is supported by the Wuwei Army. Without the Wuwei Army, the rebel army of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits will immediately besiege the city."
Therefore, His Majesty did not dare to go too far and instead spoke a few words in our defense, otherwise we would not have had the chance to hold on until now.
However, His Majesty's health has been poor lately, and he hasn't met with his court officials for quite some time. Since we haven't been able to see His Majesty, the Wuwei Army's suppression has become increasingly excessive.
Just then, a black-clad guard from the Zhenwu Hall suddenly ran in, looking anxious, and said, "Something terrible has happened! Commander Chen is fighting with the Wuwei Army again!"
And this time it wasn't just anyone, it was General Pei Shixiong of the Wuwei Army!
Chen Da has a volatile temper. Since the Wuwei Army took control of the capital, he has led the Zhenwu Hall in many conflicts with the Wuwei Army. This time it seems to be the most intense one.
Only then did the black-clad guard notice Yang Cheng, stammering, "Grand...Grand Commander!?"
Yang Cheng said casually, "Let's go, take me to see just how strong the Martial Guard Army that has suppressed my Zhenwu Hall for so long really is."
At this moment, on the south street of the capital, Chen Da was leading the black-clad guards of the Zhenwu Hall in a standoff with a group of soldiers wearing red armor.
