"Congratulations, sir, on your annihilation of the five demon immortal families and your decisive victory in Liaodong!"
When Yang Cheng found Yuwen Du, Yuwen Du immediately cupped his hands in congratulations.
Yang Cheng has eliminated almost all the external threats to the Great Zhou, including the Golden Horde and the Liaodong Jurchens. He has essentially rebuilt the Great Zhou.
From this day forward, Yang Cheng's position in Liaodong will be unshakeable.
It can be said that the Great Zhou Dynasty can do without an emperor, but it cannot do without Yang Cheng.
"Destroying Liaodong now can solve the immediate problem, but it cannot solve the long-term problem."
If the Great Zhou Dynasty itself is incompetent, then a hundred years from now, either the Golden Horde or the Jurchens of the North could very well make a comeback.
The current resurgence of the Great Zhou Dynasty is solely due to Yang Cheng's absolute strength, which is practically a stroke of luck, extending the life of the Great Zhou Dynasty by a generation.
But what the Great Zhou will become after Yang Cheng leaves is an unknown.
The good thing is that Yang Cheng did manage to cultivate the Zhenwu Hall for the Great Zhou Dynasty. The entire Zhenwu Hall is filled with the elite of the younger generation of martial artists, and they all practice top-notch techniques. In the future, perhaps a few strong individuals among them will be able to grow into powerful figures.
The bad thing is that the Great Zhou has now become a sub-level world, and in the future, there may be all sorts of demons and monsters emerging, which may no longer be something that martial artists can handle.
After defeating the Liaodong Jurchens, the army returned to the capital, and the court, led by Grand Tutor Cai and Empress Dowager Wanchun, held a grand welcoming banquet for Yang Cheng.
Of course, there was no conspiracy or intrigue involved in this welcoming banquet; it was purely for the purpose of welcoming Yang Cheng.
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Yang Cheng went straight back to Zhenwu Hall to rest.
Having successively destroyed the Golden Horde and the Liaodong Jurchens, and fought a fierce battle with the people of Lingshan, Yang Cheng was not seriously injured, but his mental strength had been constantly tense, and he needed to relax now.
Furthermore, Yang Cheng had just subdued five demon immortals, and he needed to find an opportunity to familiarize himself with how to use these five demon immortals.
While directly summoning the Five Witches' Souls to attack is the simplest method, this attack method of treating the Five Witches' Souls as summoned beasts is too crude.
This method could be used when Yang Cheng only had one demon immortal spirit body, but now Yang Cheng has five immortal spirit bodies. These five spirit bodies have different powers and different strengths, and their combination may result in some different ways of application.
After several days of seclusion in the Zhenwu Hall, Yang Cheng finally relaxed and emerged from his secluded chamber.
"Boss, it seems there's been some trouble at the Great Bright Sect in Miao territory."
Upon hearing that Yang Cheng had emerged from seclusion, Ye Meiniang immediately went to find him.
"Oh? What's happened at the Great Brightness Sect again? Have they openly rebelled and driven out of Miao territory?"
In fact, according to Yang Cheng's original plan, he wanted to first pacify the internal situation before dealing with external threats.
Therefore, after dealing with the Jianghu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his target became the Great Bright Sect.
However, things always change faster than planned.
While in the capital, Yang Cheng encountered people from Lingshan. In order to catch Lingshan off guard, Yang Cheng suddenly changed his target and attacked the Golden Horde.
Then the Jurchens got involved, so Yang Cheng simply went all out and wiped out the Liaodong Jurchens, seizing the five immortal spirit bodies.
Therefore, at this point, of all the tasks in the Great Zhou world, only the Great Bright Sect remained unresolved.
When Yang Cheng last came to the Great Zhou, he experienced the methods of the Great Brightness Sect. It was not martial arts, but rather a secret technique from another world, just like the Thirty-Six Great Bandits.
You have to be careful when dealing with this kind of guy, otherwise you might easily be caught off guard and end up in trouble.
Ye Meiniang shook her head with a strange expression and said, "No, in fact, the Great Brightness Sect has not expanded over the years. It has been operating in several counties in Miao territory, and its foundation is very solid."
Some cities have even been almost completely controlled by the Great Light Cult, becoming states within states.
But recently, a scout reported that the Great Brightness Cult has disappeared, vanished completely.
Yang Cheng was also taken aback: "Disappeared? What does that mean?"
Ye Meiniang said helplessly, "It means exactly what it says. Boss, you asked us to keep an eye on the Great Brightness Sect last time, and we haven't let our guard down since."
However, our spies recently discovered that some members on the periphery of the Great Light Cult have disappeared. When they approached to investigate, they found that the major cities controlled by the Great Light Cult were all deserted.
Whether they were ordinary people or members of the Great Brightness Cult, they all vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
So now, those below don't know how to report it anymore. Has the problem with the Great Brightness Sect been resolved, or not?
Yang Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Gather a group of elites to accompany me to Miao territory. Tell the local Zhenwu Hall members who are familiar with the Great Brightness Sect not to make any rash moves. We will investigate together when we arrive."
Something was definitely wrong with the Great Brightness Cult. In fact, Yang Cheng preferred that the Great Brightness Cult was playing some tricks rather than that the Great Brightness Cult had simply disappeared inexplicably.
Otherwise, he would have another side quest left incomplete for no apparent reason, which would have been a significant loss.
The first harvest in the Great Zhou World was not actually that much; those martial arts techniques were just a transition for Yang Cheng.
However, this time in the Great Zhou world, the rewards for each side quest are no less than those for the main quest, and may even be more valuable.
The silver bullets, the Pure Lotus Karmic Fire, and the Dragon Essence from the Phoenix Hunting Bow, as well as the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the demon souls of the Five Immortals that Yang Cheng himself collected and had nothing to do with the mission, are all things that would be difficult to obtain even from the rewards of a main quest in the outside world.
