Chapter 207 Entering the Capital

Taihao Dragon Lord showed his true colors and spied on Sanqu Fucheng from a distance, with two divine generals, Green Dragon and White Tiger, accompanying him.

Taihao Dragon Lord looked very ugly. He had seen the White Tiger General who had fled back in a hurry a few days ago.

He realized that something was wrong, very wrong.

Then he heard the White Tiger God General describe the strength of the rebel, which made him even more surprised and even a little unbelievable.

If you don't know that Bai Hu has been in battle for a long time and is a divine general, it is impossible for him to suddenly go crazy.

He would probably suspect that the other party was possessed by evil spirits.

In a small city, a strong man who could easily defeat him suddenly appeared. This was really beyond ordinary people's expectations.

You must know that with the fighting power of the White Tiger God General, there are countless strong men in the world who can defeat him.

However, this person appeared out of nowhere. Not only that, according to the description of the White Tiger General, this person was very powerful.

When fighting against him, he even had the strength to protect the city.

This kind of strength, even Taihao Dragon Lord, believes that it can only be achieved in the place where his belief is strongest.

The key point is that it's more than that. There is a god standing behind this person. If he is so powerful, how powerful should that god be.

Taihao Dragon Lord was a little hard to accept this. In fact, he had asked the White Tiger General countless times in the past few days.

In any case, he did not believe that Chen Mo could be so powerful, but the White Tiger God General could not be a madman, and the three hundred tiger warriors would not die for no reason.

Regardless of whether Taihao Dragon Lord believed it or not, he could conclude that with his own strength, he might not be able to capture Chen Mo.

And he can't take action easily, because as long as he doesn't take action, no one will know his true strength.

Chen Mo and the god behind him may be extremely powerful, but if he doesn't know his own depth, he may even resort to evil tactics.

But if you are really angry, use all your strength, and end up losing to that god, then the situation will be really dangerous.

Therefore, when Taihao Dragon Lord came this time, he had an attitude of negotiating peace with him from the beginning.

As long as the other party's requirements are not too high, he can agree.

Chen Mo stood far away on the wall of Sanqu City, watching the Taihao Dragon Lord in the distance with caution.

Different from last time, this time Taihao Dragon Master was smiling and his momentum was restrained.

In addition to the two divine generals, there was also a temple accompanying him behind him.

There were many court officials and many warriors in the palace.

As he got closer to Sanqufu City, Taihao Dragon Master took the initiative to shrink his figure to show his goodwill.

Chen Mo jumped up and came to the front of the palace, with Bai Yuxia following behind him holding a weapon.

Taihao Dragon Lord felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy in his heart, but his face still looked indifferent.

"It's a friendly way." He bowed his hands in greeting and praised with a smile.

It is true that Chen Mo is a rebel, but he is strong enough that even he must be treated with caution.

"Fellow Taoist is not bad either." Chen Mo returned the favor with a smile, his attitude was very kind.

The two parties had had contact with each other before. Chen Mo expressed the idea that he could be recruited, and the Zhou Dynasty court naturally declined and agreed immediately.

The reason why Taihao Dragon Lord came in person was firstly to negotiate terms, and secondly out of respect for Chen Mo.

After all, in terms of strength, he was the only one in the entire Zhou Dynasty who could barely be considered equal to Chen Mo.

"With the strength of Taoist friends, they are rare even in our imperial court. The Great Sage of Subduing Demons has the heart to conquer humans and demons, and he is a rare good god.

My fellow Taoists and the Subduing Demon Lords might as well join me in Dazhou and become a king of one word. "

Taihao Dragon Lord slowly opened his mouth and stated his conditions.

"Yes." Chen Mo smiled and nodded. Although his goal was not to obtain this status, it didn't matter whether it was high or low, as long as he could enter the capital to see the emperor.

However, judging from the current situation, Taihao Dragon Lord may not dare to allow himself to enter the capital.

"Okay, then I would like to invite fellow Taoist disciples to come with me and discuss it in detail." Taihao Dragon Master took the initiative to invite him. Chen Mo nodded slightly and walked into the hall.

Many soldiers and officials in the palace felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and even Taihao Dragon Lord himself never relaxed.

Because even according to the most conservative estimate, Chen Mo's strength is equal to his own.

But there is a more powerful god standing behind him, and this is what really scares him.

"Fellow Taoist, please take a careful look at this edict." Taihao Longzun took a roll of official documents from the official on the side.

Chen Mo reached out to take it and looked at it carefully.

This edict allowed Chen Mo to break the soil and be crowned king, and all matters within the territory, such as the appointment and removal of officials, large and small officials, troop mobilization, taxation, and the spread of faith.

All matters, big and small, are decided by Chen Mo himself.

The size of the fiefdom was the entire Yezhou.

If you really do this, you can be said to be almost independent and not subject to any control by the Great Zhou Dynasty. It will be like establishing a country within a country.

It's just that there is no dragon spirit in the national destiny. The reason is simple. Although the territories are closed, Chen Mo is still nominally attached to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Yes." Chen Mo thought for a moment and nodded slowly in agreement.

"We are willing to negotiate peace with the imperial court and have no objection to the conditions. We just don't know when we can enter the capital and meet the emperor to sign an alliance."

Chen Mo put down the document in his hand and asked with a smile.

Taihao Dragon Lord was slightly hesitant. The capital was the real center of the royal family, and there would undoubtedly be certain risks in allowing Chen Mo to enter it rashly.

He instinctively wanted to refuse, after all, the covenant could be signed immediately here.

But when he thought about it, he immediately understood that this was a test of himself by the other party.

If you dare not let the other party enter the capital, it is undoubtedly expressing that you are afraid of the other party. Even in your own core hinterland, you do not have 100% ability to control the other party.

Judging from the current situation, showing weakness is not a good thing.

"Yes, fellow Taoist, you can leave immediately." Taihao Dragon Lord agreed decisively.

"Okay." Chen Mo had been prepared beforehand and agreed decisively immediately.

All affairs in Sanqu Mansion have been arranged, and even if he is not around, there will be people who will continue to spread the faith.

Not only that, this range will continue to spread.

Because Sanqu Mansion is the center of the circle, the entire Yezhou area has already been evacuated by imperial officials in advance.

Even many aristocratic families began to flee desperately, but they fled too fast. They were destined to take only some gold and silver, and more property could not be transported away.

Land, especially good farmland, is the basis for the survival of many aristocratic families.

But they can't take these things away.

Fu Qiuyu had discovered this sign a long time ago, and after asking Chen Mo for instructions, he led others to continue to spread the faith of the Great Sage Fuyao.

Zhang Xianzhong naturally also sent his rebel troops to help, going to various counties to maintain order in the city and divide grain fields.

In this way, the faith of the Great Sage Subduing Demons can be spread to this world at an extremely fast speed.

"Okay, then please fellow Taoist go with me." Taihao Dragon Master said with a smile.

He knew why Chen Mo had the confidence to go to the capital, because until now, the extremely powerful Demon-Suppressing Sage had not shown up.

Even if he arrived in the capital and had the confidence to deal with Chen Mo, he could not take action against the Great Sage Subduing Demons.

The temple changed directions in the air, running all the way to the distant sky.

The temple is driven by divine power, and the speed is very fast.

Taihao Dragon Lord was not in a hurry to return to the capital immediately. Instead, with a smile on his face, he approached Chen Mo and wanted to talk.

He really wanted to find out why such a powerful god, the Great Sage of Demon Subduer, suddenly appeared.

The strength of gods lies in the accumulated power of faith.

He had never heard of a god who subdued demons and exalted gods, which proved that this god only appeared recently.

But its strength is a bit too strong! So powerful that it’s a bit abnormal!

Then there is only one possibility, the Great Sage Subduing Demons is a real ancient god, much older than himself.

Its existence may have been thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago.

Later, he fell into a deep sleep due to some reasons, so he has no believers to this day.

However, the power of faith accumulated in ancient times is still very vast.

Even if he cannot make ends meet in a short period of time, he can still maintain his strong strength.

In this way, the origin of Chen Mo is explained. He is an ancient god and he fell into deep sleep with the gods.

Although this explanation seems a bit forced, it is the only reasonable explanation that Taihao Dragon Lord can think of.

Even before he came to the capital here, he had arranged for officials to search ancient classics to find the existence of the demon-subduing god.

It's just hard to say whether he can be found. This ancient god may have existed for a very long time.

After thousands or tens of thousands of years, you may still be able to find clues, but if it was tens of thousands of years ago, you would probably not be able to find anything.

Chen Mo responded to his cliche with a smile and covered it up without any pain. He didn't need to cover it up for a long time. It could be as short as a few days or as long as less than half a month.

Taihao Dragon Lord listened very carefully and was ready to go back and investigate carefully according to what Chen Mo said.

Check the Daqian Dynasty to see how far it is from this era.

He did not doubt that what Chen Mo told was a lie, because the lie was too true.

The Daqian Dynasty had unique systems and customs, the process of appointing and removing officials, such as the imperial examination, and even different cultivation systems.

These things are not so easy to make up.

The temple soon approached the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Along the way, many people saw the temple and paid homage to it.

Only people who have believed in Taihao Dragon Lord for generations can live here.

Likewise, the living conditions of the people here are much better than elsewhere.

Many people not only have enough to eat, but also often have meat to eat. Everyone who comes and goes has a ruddy complexion.

And almost no one wears coarse linen clothes, and the worst are cotton robes.

The official roads are all paved with fine bluestones, and you can tell that someone has been repairing them regularly. Even the streets in the city are cleaned by dedicated personnel.

Not only that, there are many Futian courtyards in every city, where children without parents and elderly people who have no one to support them can enter and be cared for.

The government will distribute rice, grain, money and meat every month to support these old and weak people.

Here, the court's tax revenue is very low, and the officials govern the country clearly.

Even the aristocratic families living here cannot oppress the people at will, at least not openly.

The people living here are naturally very happy. They never pick up lost things on the road and never close their homes at night. They feel like they have returned to the ancient times.

But the price is that the taxes collected by the imperial court from all over the world are used to support the capital and the people near the capital.

It can be said that this great harmonious society was watered with the blood of people from other states and capitals in the world.

Not only that, there are two or three city walls that separate these areas from the outside world to prevent people from outside the area from setting foot here.

If there are not enough local young people, try to recruit some from outside.

Among these young men, if they have a deep belief in Taihao Dragon Lord, they also have outstanding abilities and special skills.

Then you can stay in the capital or nearby states, and those who are incompetent will be directly abandoned when they become old and frail.

The imperial court did not have spare money to support them, so in most cases they were driven out by force or deceived.

It might even be traded to some monster to squeeze out the last bit of value.

Even if they have worked hard in the capital all their lives, once they are no longer useful, they will be like waste that has been expelled, and the capital will not care about their life or death.

The temple slowly approached the capital. No matter what they were doing, many people in the city bowed and worshiped when they saw the temple.

There are countless temples of Taihao Dragon Lord in the city, and every household has its statues enshrined.

The people living here will believe in Taihao Dragon Lord from birth to death.

It can be said that in addition to being unable to move, the area here vaguely has the prototype of the Kingdom of God.

Converging the Kingdom of God can only be achieved by monks of the Incense Shinto who have reached an extremely high level.

Extremely devout believers will not go to the underworld after death, but will reach the kingdom of gods.

Taihao Dragon Lord is indeed unable to do this at present, but in this way, he can also gather countless believers who believe in himself.

When the temple reached the center of the capital, Chen Mofei stepped down, and Taihao Dragon Lord walked side by side with him.

"This is the inner palace of the capital. Fellow Taoists can choose a place to live. I will order people to prepare the ceremony and seal the title to fellow Taoists in a few days."

Taihao Dragon Lord opened his mouth, and naturally someone would do it. The Qinglong God General led Chen Mo to an uninhabited courtyard.

Although no one lives in the courtyard, there are people cleaning it from time to time.

When Chen Mo came here, he felt a familiar aura, which meant that there must be another person coming from across the border in the capital.

I just don’t know if it’s Senior Xuehai or Shui Qianqiu.

Bai Yuxia also sensed this aura, but she looked at Chen Mo and had no intention of looking for him immediately.

Although Taihao Dragon Lord is not here, he will still arrange for people to be on duty nearby.

Now we are just one step away from obtaining the Dragon Qi of national destiny and finding the spirit of heaven and earth.

At this time, there is no need to do anything more, just wait calmly.

As for the existence of the other person, neither Chen Mo nor she had any intention of actively looking for it.

A few days passed by, and on this day all the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered together.

A high platform outside the city has been quickly built. The high platform is hundreds of feet high.

It was a divine general under Taihao Longzun who had built it with divine power. High on the mountain, hundreds of civil and military officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered together.

Nowadays, the emperor is naturally on the high platform. Being the emperor is not a simple matter.

And if you are in charge of the national destiny of a dynasty, you must bear the consequences.

Once the national destiny declines or even the dynasty collapses, the emperor will be harmed.

With Taihao Longzun's strength, he has other ways to rule the Zhou Dynasty. There is no need to become the emperor and bear the karma.

This also shows that even he does not have the confidence to maintain the Zhou Dynasty.

Once the dynasty collapses, he will inevitably suffer backlash. The stronger he is, the heavier the backlash he will suffer.

Therefore, he avoided this shortcoming from the beginning.

However, the imperial power of the Zhou Dynasty existed because of him, so he still had the power to make decisions on court affairs.

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, the edict says. The divine general under the throne of the Great Sage of Subduing Demons, Chen Taimo.

Killing demons and benefiting one party, possessing both ability and political integrity, brings great merit to one's body. Now he is crowned King of Industry and the industry state is crowned. All affairs in the state can be decided by oneself..."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites read the edict loudly. In fact, the first moment they learned about this, all the civil and military officials were surprised.

There are many officials who come from industrial states and absolutely disagree with this matter.

However, when they learned about Chen Mo's true strength, they collectively chose to remain silent.

The reason is simple, because it is too powerful, too powerful to be understood.

Therefore, no one was objecting. Even those officials who were from Yezhou did not dare to object to the granting of the title of Yezhou to Chen Mo.

But after learning that the rebels were looking for the She family to massacre, he tried to find a way to get his family to leave Yezhou as soon as possible.

Because Chen Mo is too strong, if Yezhou is not given to him, he will only conquer more areas.

Although some officials understood that this was just a delaying tactic, five cities would be cut off today and ten cities tomorrow.

But they had no choice. They had to deal with it first. The court was not in a hurry, let alone the ministers.

Chen Mo smiled and reached out to take the imperial edict.

In addition, there is a full set of seals and ceremonial guards.

The most important thing is that by obtaining this seal, Chen Mo can integrate into the system of the Great Zhou court.

Using this as a springboard, he could get in touch with the national fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Without this identity, if he wants to forcibly contact the dragon energy of national destiny, he will inevitably encounter fierce resistance and backlash.

Chen Mo smiled after accepting the edict, and Dragon Master Taihao also came over, chatted enthusiastically with Chen Mo, told him not to rush back to Yezhou, and invited him to stay longer.

This was a polite comment, but he didn't expect that Chen Mo would agree directly.

But once the words have been spoken, there is no reason to take them back.

So he took some time again, but Chen Mo walked around the city.

Late that night, everything was lonely.

Chen Mo stood up and walked outside the house, and Bai Yuxia also came to him.

"You have to be fast. With all my strength, I can block the Taihao Dragon Lord for up to two hours." Bai Yuxia transmitted a message into the secret passage.

This place is where Taihao Dragon Lord's followers gather, and his power here is much stronger than in the outside world.

What's more, the four great generals will most likely take action by then, and they may even use formation techniques.

Bai Yuxia can block it for half an hour, which is a desperate method using all means.

Chen Mo wants to take action against the dragon energy of the country. No one may notice it in a short period of time, but as time goes by, Taihao Dragon Lord will definitely be able to sense it.

It was impossible for him to watch himself control the destiny of the country, so someone had to temporarily stop him and give Chen Mo plenty of time to find the spirit of heaven and earth.

Chen Mo couldn't tell him the truth about this world, because once he wanted to pull this world out of the mirage.

Then many people and demons will definitely die because they are too seriously infected by the mirage.

In the process of the world completely breaking away from the mirage, they will either become one with the mirage, or they will be unable to restrain their own power and explode to death.

Of course, with the complete integration of the world and the mirage, the fate of these strong men may also be death.

But if they do this, they still have at least hundreds of years to spare.

And if Chen Moruo drags the world out of the mirage, these strong men will die immediately.

There may be people who are righteous and willing to save the entire world even if they sacrifice themselves.

But such people are in the minority after all, and living an ignoble existence is the choice for most people.

Therefore, Chen Mo did not tell anyone about this, otherwise the powerful people in the world would surely besiege him.

"Okay." Chen Mo nodded slowly and immediately took out a small golden seal.

"This is the Heavenly Secret Seal. After being used, it can seal off the entire world. It can greatly weaken Taihao Dragon Lord's divine power. You can use it."

Chen Mo took out a small seal from his arms, which he had redeemed from the Order of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil.

This Heavenly Secret Seal requires a total of 300,000 meritorious deeds and is a one-time use.

After redeeming it, Chen Mo's previously accumulated good deeds were basically all used up, leaving only a few thousand points.

"Okay, you should also be careful." Bai Yuxia started to accept it and warned cautiously.

The Zhou Dynasty was a dynasty after all. There must be strong men guarding the palace, the emperor must have trump cards, and there were countless formations in the palace.

And it is not easy to forcibly master the dragon energy.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, without saying anything more, he quietly disappeared and sneaked towards the distant palace.
