Chapter 53 Investment
In a spacious hall in the Pilgrimage City.

Qin Qian, Xiang Yu, Zhao Yun and others gathered together.

In front of everyone, there was a map about ten feet long, which included the Barbarian Territory and the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as many small forces in the surrounding areas.

Everyone looked at the map and started talking.

"My Lord, our future development can be divided into two directions!"

Zhang Liang stood up, cupped his hands and said: "The first is to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is the core of our strategy. The second is to conquer the small forces around the Barbarian Territory!"

To sum it up in one sentence, it is outward expansion!
Qin Qian nodded when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, during the heyday of the barbarians, there were at least more than forty vassal forces.

Thinking of this, Qin Qian asked, "How many of the Barbarians' vassal forces have surrendered now?"

Jia Xu replied: "My lord, a total of 26 forces sent representatives to express their willingness to surrender, but when they arrived, we were in seclusion, so no surrender was submitted!"

Qin Qian asked: "What about the other forces?"

"Thirteen forces chose to wait and see!"

At this point, Jia Xu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "There are three more forces that have submitted to the Great Zhou Dynasty, namely the Giant Tribe, the Blue Country, and the Mountain Spirit Tribe!"

Qin Qian's face turned ugly when he heard this.

Submit to the Great Zhou Dynasty?

This is an open declaration of enmity against him!

"Destroy it!"

Qin Qian didn't think much about it and said coldly: "After the meeting, you can find time to destroy the three forces that surrendered to the Great Zhou!
Give the other thirteen forces an ultimatum: either surrender or be exterminated!"

As he spoke, a cold murderous aura burst out from his body.

He had neither the time nor the patience to handle the matter gently; the simplest and most brutal method was to kill.

kill!

In this world of martial arts, killing can solve 99% of the problems. As for the remaining 1%, it is likely that not enough people were killed.

"As ordered!"

Everyone stood up and saluted.

At this time, Jia Xu's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, the latest information sent back by the gravedigger is that the Great Zhou Dynasty is contacting the Ye family, the Wanjian Sect and the Hehuan Sect to seek cooperation!"

Hearing this, Qin Qian's face changed.

With his current strength, it would not be difficult to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, if the Great Zhou Dynasty were to unite with the other three major forces, it would be more difficult to win.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu seemed to sense something and looked up into the distance at the same time.

Qin Qian saw what the two were doing and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"A strong man is coming!"

Zhao Yun replied: "His strength is at the peak of the Saint Realm, and his sword intent is so strong, he must be from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"

laugh!
The words fell.

Then a sharp and piercing tearing sound resounded between heaven and earth.

"Jian Chenzi of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is here to visit the King of the Northern Territory!"

Immediately afterwards, another loud voice was heard. It is worth mentioning that Jian Chenzi’s address to Qin Qian was very interesting.

King of the Northern Territory!

Instead of the King of Liang who was enthroned by the Great Zhou!

The change in the title expresses goodwill and kindness.

Qin Qian smiled when he heard this, and stood up and walked outside, "Let's go meet the leader of the Sword Sect!"

As they spoke, the group walked out of the hall and flew away into the air.

When they left the Pilgrimage City, they saw a sword light flying from afar, like a rainbow piercing the sun, splitting the entire world into two.

boom!
Within a few breaths, Jian Chenzi came in front of Qin Qian and others, wearing a white robe, holding a sword, revealing an unparalleled sharp aura.

Subconsciously, Jian Chenzi looked at Xiang Yu, Hua Mulan and others, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The early stage of the holy realm?

Not too high, but too low!
According to intelligence, it was Xiang Yu and his gang who defeated the Barbarian Ancestor. He originally thought that each of them was at the peak of the Saint Realm, but he did not expect that they had just entered the Saint Realm.

This discovery did not disappoint Jian Chenzi, but made him even more shocked.

It is not surprising that people with higher realms defeat those with lower realms.

But being able to fight against opponents of higher levels is a completely different story! Tianjiao!

evildoer!

These words, which carry with them stunning colors, are used to describe this kind of existence.

Then, Jian Chenzi looked at Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu again and was horrified. These were actually two unknown Saint Realm warriors who had broken through to the middle Saint Realm.

The most terrifying thing was that Jian Chenzi sensed a huge threat from everyone.

That feeling is like an ordinary person encountering a tiger.
Where on earth did these people come from?

Doesn’t it really come from the upper realm?

Jian Chenzi was shocked, but also a little happy. He felt that he had come to the right place.

Finally, Jian Chenzi set his sights on Qin Qian. When he saw him, his eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "In the early stage of the Yu Yu Fa realm?"

Perhaps because he was too frightened, he stuttered a little.

The realm of controlling law!
Oh my God, what kind of monster is this?

And there is a reason why Jian Chenzi lost his composure like this. You know, Wu Wan, who was accepted as a disciple by the Tianyin Sect Leader, is only in the Divine Infant Realm.

Even so, Wu Wan was hailed as a rare genius that is hard to come by in a thousand years.

But
Qin Qian is a few years younger than Wu Wan, but his strength has surpassed the realm of controlling magic.
The difference between the two can only be described as the bright moon compared to a firefly.

"Feel sorry!"

After a while, Jian Chenzi regained his composure and said a little embarrassedly: "I just lost my composure!"

He thought for a moment and added, "The Empress is not as good as you!"

"Master Jian really knows how to talk!"

Qin Qian felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and asked, "I wonder why you came all the way here?"

Jian Chenzi looked around and saw that many barbarians had gathered on the ground.

It was Manlin and others.

"It was my fault for neglecting it!"

Qin Qian reacted and said, "Sect Master, please come in!"

The group returned to the main hall.

After taking a seat.

Jian Chenzi said: "Before our sect came, the Great Zhou Dynasty had already reached a cooperation with the Ye family. Not only that, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Hehuan Sect have close ties. A few days ago, the leader of the Hehuan Sect went to the Great Zhou Imperial City!"

Qin Qian, Zhang Liang, Zhao Yun and others all frowned slightly when they heard this.

They didn't expect that the Ye family and the Hehuan Sect would take sides so quickly!

Qin Qian asked: "Master Jian, the Great Zhou Dynasty has also contacted the Wanjian Sect, right?"

"That's right!"

Jian Chenzi nodded and said with a smile: "They gave us a spiritual mine and a quota for ascension as a reward, and asked us to deal with the Northern Territory, but our sect refused!"

Qin Qian was slightly surprised, and then asked: "So what is the purpose of the Sect Master's visit this time?"

"I want to cooperate with the Northern Territory!"

Jian Chenzi looked at Qin Qian and said with a smile: "The Northern Territory is powerful, but its foundation is insufficient and it lacks ordinary warriors. The Sword Sect has millions of disciples, which can just make up for the lack of the Northern Territory!"

Qin Qian was somewhat moved after hearing this, but he did not lose his vigilance.

His eyes flickered as he asked, "I have a question. Why did the Wanjian Sect reject the many benefits of the Great Zhou Dynasty and choose to cooperate with the Northern Territory?"

He firmly believes that there is no such thing as free lunch in this world.

Naturally, the Wanjian Sect would not help the Northern Territory for no reason.

"Not bad!"

Seeing that Qin Qian did not agree immediately, Jian Chenzi was not angry, but secretly praised him.

With such a character at such a young age, it’s no wonder he was able to rise so quickly.

"There are two reasons!"

Jian Chenzi thought for a moment and said softly, "First, I think the Northern Territory is strong enough. It will not be easy for the Great Zhou to defeat the Northern Territory. It is worth a gamble!
Second, the Great Zhou Dynasty is too ambitious, and the Empress is intolerant and jealous. Cooperating with the Great Zhou Dynasty is undoubtedly a conspiracy with a tiger, and will eventually be backfired! "

At this point, he looked around at Qin Qian and the others, and said with a smile: "After coming to the Northern Territory, I have become more determined in my ideas!"

His meaning was very straightforward, he wanted to tell Qin Qian
You are evil enough and worth my investment.
