Chapter 52 End of Retreat
After seeing off the nine ancestors of the Great Zhou, the black-robed elder returned to the Sword Hall.

He looked at Jian Chenzi, his mouth slightly open, as if he had something to say but was hesitant.

"Say it!"

Jian Chenzi finished reading the information and looked up and said.

The black-robed elder asked, "Master, last time you didn't agree to the Great Zhou Dynasty because the reward was small, so why did you reject the Great Zhou Dynasty this time?"

He really didn't understand.

A place in the upper realm!

This is probably the most precious thing in the Qing Realm.

If it were him, he would definitely be happy to cooperate with the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Jian Chenzi refused.

Why is this?

"Last time it was a matter of interest, but this time."

Jian Chenzi replied: "The main reason is that I don't think the Great Zhou Dynasty can win!"

"This"

The black-robed elder was horrified. "That shouldn't be possible! The Great Zhou Dynasty has the Tianyin Immortal Cult standing behind it. Didn't they say that Qin Qian has no one to support him?"

Jian Chenzi shook his head. "I don't know if there is anyone behind Qin Qian supporting this matter, but I know one thing, Qin Qian's evilness is worth a gamble!"

As soon as these words came out.

The black-robed elder suddenly changed color and exclaimed, "Sect Master, you...you want to stand with the Northern Territory?"

Crazy!

This is so crazy!

"That's right!"

Jian Chenzi smiled and said, "Compared to the Great Zhou Dynasty, I would rather invest in the Northern Territory!"

The black-robed elder panicked and quickly advised: "Master, please think twice. If we cooperate with the Great Zhou Dynasty, we can get a place in the upper realm. If we invest in the Northern Territory, we will not only get nothing, but also bear huge risks."

Hearing this, Jian Chenzi smiled slightly and asked, "Have you ever thought about this question: when the Great Zhou Dynasty defeats the Northern Territory, is it a good thing or a bad thing for our Wanjian Sect?
The upper realm quota is indeed precious.
But everyone knows the Empress' ambition, can we really get it?"

The black-robed elder's expression changed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he bowed deeply and said, "Master, you are wise!"

He was just overwhelmed by the temptation. Just as Jian Chenzi said, the empress was an ambitious person and had long wanted to unify the Qing Realm.

Help the Great Zhou to destroy the Northern Territory, in case the Empress turns her troops around and attacks them in return
Then they will be in trouble!

Although this is just speculation, the probability of such a situation occurring is very high.

Just imagine, when no one was able to curb the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could the empress let go of this God-given opportunity?
"Go get busy!"

Jian Chenzi waved his hand and ordered: "Notify the elders in the sect and tell them not to contact the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"As ordered!"

The black-robed elder saluted and was about to leave when he asked, "Master, investing in the Northern Territory will probably be opposed by many people."

Jian Chenzi's face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Suppress it, whoever disobeys the order will be killed!"

The elder's pupils shrank slightly and he left in a hurry.

The reason why he asked was mainly to test Jian Chenzi's determination. Now it seems that Jian Chenzi has made up his mind to invest in the Northern Territory.

I just don't know if it will really work if I enter the game in the opposite direction?

boom!
Outside the imperial city, the void collapsed and a giant white tiger flew out.

The giant tiger's body was covered with white scales, had wings, and had very long claws that were like blades, emitting a cold light that made people shudder.

Double-winged white tiger!

This is the guardian beast of the Hehuan Sect.

On the back of the double-winged white tiger stood three figures, namely the leader of the Hehuan Sect, the chief elder, and the female official.

"Master, the Imperial City is a no-fly zone!"

At this moment, the female official bowed and said.

The leader of the Hehuan Sect frowned slightly, somewhat reluctantly, but thinking of the purpose of his trip, he let the double-winged white tiger land outside the imperial city and walked into the city.

Soon, they entered the palace.

Wu Wan was very enthusiastic about the arrival of the leader of the Hehuan Sect, and led all the officials to hold a banquet that was extremely grand.

The dish is delicious!

The wine is good too!
But the leader of the Hehuan Sect had no intention of satisfying his appetite. After the banquet was over, he immediately went to find Wu Wan.

In the imperial study, Wu Wan sat on the imperial chair, with a female official standing beside her.

As for the leader of the Hehuan Sect, he sat below and asked with his hands clasped, "Empress, I won't beat around the bush with you. What do you need our Hehuan Sect to do in order for you to be willing to hand over the Immaculate Divine Body?" When he talked about the Immaculate Divine Body, a hint of heat flashed in his eyes.

"It's easy!"

Wu Wan smiled and said, "As long as the Hehuan Sect becomes a vassal force of the Great Zhou Dynasty and waits for my dispatch, I will grant you the Immaculate Divine Body!"

Give!

This is what the king said to his subjects!

The head of the Hehuan Sect froze, "Empress, you can't say that. The Hehuan Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, but it has never surrendered to outsiders!"

He wanted the Immaculate Divine Body, but it was not worth it to sacrifice his sect for the Immaculate Divine Body.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. I'll show you something!"

As Wu Wan spoke, she flipped her right hand, took out a jade pendant that was glowing with spiritual light, and asked the female official to pass it to the leader of the Hehuan Sect.

"This"

The leader of the Hehuan Sect held the jade pendant and sent out a ray of divine consciousness to check. In an instant, his face changed suddenly, sweat dripped down his forehead, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Who is this?"

Wu Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, "My master, the Tianyin Sect Leader!"

Tianyin Cult Leader!

Upon hearing this, the Hehuan Sect Master's eyes widened and his mind went blank. He looked at the token in his hand and felt that it was heavier than Mount Taiyue in the sky.

"Master Hehuan, I am waiting for your choice!"

Wu Wansu waved her hand lightly, took the jade pendant in her hand, and said with a smile: "By the way, Master is very supportive of my unification of the Qing Realm and left me many means."

"Gulu!"

The leader of the Hehuan Sect stood up tremblingly, swallowed his saliva and said, "Stop talking! I am willing to submit to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty, please keep the Hehuan Sect's heritage for my active cooperation!"

He didn't want to surrender, but now, he had no choice but to refuse.

The leader of Tianyin Sect supports Wu Wan in unifying Qingjie, but this is the only reason. If they continue to oppose the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"Go back!"

Wu Wan smiled sweetly.

The leader of the Hehuan Sect saluted and turned to leave.

Just as he was about to step over the threshold, Wu Wan's voice came from behind him again, "I am short on time and can't wait too long!
Ten days!

If the Hehuan Sect does not submit a letter of surrender within ten days, I will personally visit the Hehuan Sect with the jade pendant!"

"As ordered!"

The leader of the Hehuan Sect turned around and bowed again before walking out of the imperial study.

Soon, the leader of the Hehuan Sect left the palace in a daze. Seeing this, the Great Elder hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sect Leader, what's wrong?"

"The Hehuan Sect is gone!"

"what?"

The Great Elder was horrified and immediately asked the reason.

The leader of the Hehuan clan turned his head and looked towards the palace. After a long silence, he said in a hoarse voice: "These days, people with backgrounds are hard to mess with!"

boom!
In the barbarian small world.

Qin Qian suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying aura emerged from his body, sweeping in all directions like a tidal wave, causing the void to continuously twist and deform.

"The early stage of the Law Control Realm!"

Qin Qian clenched his hands, and the power of the kingly law burst out, and a smile appeared on his face.

During this period of time, he refined the seventh level of red luck, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, he broke free from the shackles, and successfully advanced to the realm of controlling laws.

"They are about to break through!"

After adapting to the surge in power in his body, Qin Qian looked around and found that Xiang Yu, Hua Mulan and others had reached the critical moment of breakthrough.

for the next five days.

Xiang Yu, Hua Mulan and others broke through the holy realm one after another.

As for Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun, they even broke through to the middle stage of the Saint Realm.

Not only them, the strength of the soldiers in the Northern Territory has also been greatly improved. The vast majority of them have broken through the Qi Gathering Realm, and a small number have broken through the Xuandan Realm.

This level of cultivation speed can only be described as rapid.

But the consumption is also huge. The five spiritual mines that the barbarians have accumulated for tens of thousands of years are almost running out of spiritual energy. It is estimated that they cannot be restored without a thousand years.

Seeing this, Qin Qian ended his retreat.

After leaving the small world, he immediately called everyone together to discuss matters.
