Chapter 642 The World Is Shocked!

Above the imperial city, Jiang Che, wearing a brocade python robe, stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking everything that was going on below. With his strong entry into the capital, most of the imperial guards in the capital defected under the order of Xue Pingzu.

Only a small number of them were still loyal to the court, and they were now being purged.

There was nothing wrong with their loyalty, but it was not okay for the loyal people to be wrong. This was something Jiang Che could not tolerate, so he would not be kind in this regard.

And below, batches of imperial guards were being stationed to reshape the order.

As for the capital, it was actually in chaos now. If it wanted to restore stability, it would not be as simple as just talking about it. It would take some time.

As for this matter, Jiang Che handed it all over to Chen Qingfang.

The two had already met briefly.

Because of the previous relationship, and because Chen Qingfang had witnessed the battle in the capital with his own eyes, in short, his mind changed quickly and he directly expressed his submission to him.

As the Black Ya Divine Envoy, it was most appropriate for him to do this.

It is worth mentioning that he also met Lu Jieyun.

However, there is a deep gap between the two sides now. Even if he behaves approachable, Lu Jieyun still consciously puts him in the position of a lower person when facing him.

Jiang Che did not deliberately correct this.

Because this is destined to change.

They do have a friendship, but that was before. As for now, even if the two have some personal relationship, they cannot put it on the surface, and his arrangement is to become Chen Qingfang's deputy.

As for everything else, Jiang Che almost handed it over to Xue Pingzu and Yao Yue.

The two of them will work together to restore the order of the capital in the shortest time.

As for him, there are more important things to do.

That is to sacrifice and break through!

Although the previous battle was passed without any danger, it also reminded Jiang Che that there are more people who have made progress in this world than just him.

Although those people do not have plug-ins, they have accumulated hundreds of years of foundation.

For example, Patriarch Ku Rong, Monk Ran Chen and others all gained a lot in the process of the great changes in the world, comprehended the power of rules, and possessed extremely strong strength.

In that battle, if it were not for the power of Ji Chengdao's attack sealed in the Emperor's Sword, Jiang Che actually did not have much confidence in whether he could survive safely.

After all, Ran Chen's attack brought him too much oppression.

As for now, although Monk Ran Chen was repelled and might even be afraid of the Emperor's Sword, he could not put all his safety on the illusory Emperor's Sword.

The foundation left by Ji Chengdao has been exhausted, and he can only rely on himself next.

As for the whereabouts of Ji Chengdao himself, he currently does not know. He may still be in Tianyuan, or he may be anywhere in the realm. In short, he can't contact him at all.

Moreover, he always feels that Ji Chengdao has a very deep plan.

Now that he has destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is unknown whether the other party will have any other ideas.

Therefore, the only person he can rely on is himself.

Fortunately, after many dangers, his sacrifices have been fully collected. He only needs to adjust his state for a few days before he can make a sacrifice breakthrough and raise his cultivation to the peak of the manifestation of the saint.

Raise the holy body to the great perfection realm.

He is not sure how much strength will increase by then, but he also has some guesses.

With his current strength, he can completely match the strong immortals. If he does not care about the cost, it is not impossible to kill ordinary ordinary immortals.

He is roughly at the same level as Feng Wuji.

Maybe his foundation is slightly inferior, but his combat power can reach it.

However, if he faces the great saints who have comprehended the rules, such as the old ancestor Ku Rong and the Bodhisattva Burning Dust, the immortals on the land still lack too much.

But if he breaks through successfully, he estimates that he may not be suppressed if he fights again.

After all, he is different from ordinary warriors. Ordinary immortals are not as good as the half-step true immortals who comprehend the rules. It is all because of the gap in the power of rules.

Hard to match, even harder to resist.

But he is different. He has the Dragon Vein Sword, and can mobilize the power of national destiny. He can ignore most of the power of rules and reduce most of the pressure.

At that time, he no longer needs to be afraid of strong men like Monk Burning Dust and Ancestor Ku Rong who have comprehended the power of rules.

Therefore, the most important thing in front of him is sacrifice.

But before the breakthrough, Jiang Che is still preparing to do one thing.

That is to bury the dragon vein in the imperial city again.

The dragon vein is the essence of heaven and earth. It is difficult to grow on its own and requires a very long time, but it can be stimulated to grow, so as to improve the quality and foundation of the dragon vein.

Without the dragon vein, the destiny of a country cannot be suppressed, let alone the continuous generation of national destiny.

If he wants to establish a new dynasty, the dragon vein is an indispensable thing.

And he actually has a spare dragon vein at the moment.

The dragon vein power that merged into his body had completely merged into the blood and flesh acupoints, and could not be separated, nor would he separate it, but he did not need to do so. After all, when he was still in the small world, he accidentally found a section of dragon vein.

That was the dragon vein nurtured in the Daqian Dynasty of the small world.

It was very short, probably less than two feet, and of course it could not be compared with the original dragon vein of the Great Zhou, but it could become a seed and become an important treasure to suppress the national destiny.

Jiang Che had always carried the dragon vein with him, but he had never had a chance to use it.

at the moment.

is the best opportunity.

Jiang Che didn't hesitate for long. After figuring out the formation within the imperial city, he directly tore up the ground and drove an illusory golden dragon into the ground.

This place is a geomantic treasure land. It has the most advanced earth veins in the spiritual realm. It can be called the core of China. Cultivating dragon veins here will greatly shorten the time.

After doing all this, Jiang Che left in the air and headed towards the depths of the palace.

This time he was going to retreat.

Although he did not suffer any serious injuries in the previous battle, he did suffer some losses. He would need to cultivate for a few days to return to his peak. At that time, it would be the best time for him to make a breakthrough in cultivation.

at the same time.

Just when Jiang Che finished everything and chose to retreat, the news of the battle in the capital was like a hurricane, quickly sweeping towards the states in all directions.

The news spread very quickly.

It can be said that in less than a day, all the prefectures in Zhongzhou were informed of this matter.

As for the reason, it was naturally the terrifying battle before.

In that battle, not only did more than ten martial saints start the battle, but there were also Xumi Le's golden bodies tens of thousands of feet long. The battlefield alone covered nearly a thousand miles.

Many people in the surrounding prefectures vaguely sensed the movement.

They were certainly frightened at that time, but they didn't dare to ask what happened.

But when the news came out in the capital.

All the officials looked confused.

Those who can serve as officials in the core area of ​​Zhongzhou are almost all close associates of the imperial court. There is no doubt about their loyalty to the imperial court, and they can even be regarded as being favored by the country. It can be said that once Jiang Che leads an army to attack.

There will definitely be many people who will fight to the death for their entire family.

But the problem is.

Jiang Che did not launch a large-scale attack.

Instead, he went straight to Huanglong, killed the emperor directly, and occupied the capital.

What to do next?

While everyone was panicking, they were also deeply confused.

What's more important is that they can't even find anyone loyal to them now. Basically all of Ji Wenhao's sons, except Ji Changsheng and Ji Changzhi, have been killed.

Several of his daughters were almost dead, and most of the emperor's relatives were sacrificed.

And Ji Changsheng is now in Yuezhou. Ji Changzhi has been directly controlled and cannot escape from the capital. There is not even a leader. They can only be a group of scattered sand.

Although there are many people from the royal family named Ji throughout Zhongzhou. Although they are relatively distant, they are also named Ji. If someone stands up, they can have some appeal.

But the question is, who dares to do this now?

The center of the imperial court has been wiped out, and there is no doubt about Jiang Che's strength. If they were to recover now, they would be completely seeking their own death.

Just when many officials were in trouble, news from the imperial court quickly swept through Zhongzhou, and Xue Pingzu announced to the entire Zhongzhou in the name of King Wu.

The faint king is dead, and all those who surrender will not be implicated.

Anyone who dares to resist the power of Heaven will have all the men and women of the Yi tribe thrown into the Jiaofang Department and will never be employed.

As for the royal family surnamed Ji, as long as they do not go against King Wu, they will all be demoted to common people without any involvement, and the family property will not be touched at all. It can be said that they are treated extremely generously.

It can even be called unprecedented.

After all, when the Zhou Dynasty was founded, the remnants of several countries were treated without mercy.

After hundreds of years, the remnants of the imperial court from that chaotic era were almost wiped out.

Compared with the current Jiang Che, Jiang Che who is even a foil is a benevolent master.

Although many people are not sure whether this matter is credible, it is at least a great comfort and makes many people in the royal family named Ji feel at ease.

He even dared not collude with those court officials, and even acted like a coward.

Under such propaganda, most of the diehard loyalists of the imperial court chose to join.

Everyone knows that now that the situation is over, continuing to act like a chariot is just courting death. However, there are exceptions to everything, and there are still a small number of officials and some royal family members surnamed Ji who disobey the edict.

He immediately took away most of his belongings and fled north.

As for some more fierce families, they chose to rebuke Jiang Che angrily and resist with their whole family.

And their fate was that they were all executed by the clan.

Such strength has frightened a large number of forces that were ready to move. At the same time, the news spread to the military camp on the border of Zhongzhou.

Ever since Jiang Che rebelled and killed Grand Master Wen, Ji Wenhao had made many responses, directly mobilizing more than 200,000 Tianyuan elites, led by Marshal Chen and many powerful men from the imperial court, to build the Zhongzhou defense line.

Be prepared for Jiang Che's massive invasion.

Originally, Marshal Chen was prepared to die for his country. However, before his death came, he received a letter of admonition from Xue Pingzu. Looking at the content of the letter, Marshal Chen's expression changed inexplicably.

First, it was because the imperial court had died. As soon as the emperor died, the Great Zhou Dynasty, which lasted for six hundred years, perished so suddenly. It was really hard for him to accept it. After all, his growth almost followed the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He is also considered a loyal minister. When he heard the news of the country's collapse, he was somewhat at a loss what to do. He even felt that the change was too fast, and he, the coach on the defensive line, didn't know anything.

The war was actually over.

As for the second reason, it was because the letter came from Xue Pingzu, and he felt very suspicious, because in his original impression, the Xue family, as royal relatives, should be loyal to the court.

This point can be seen when Tianyuan discussed sending troops.

As a result, now, before he, an outsider, surrendered, the Xue family has already surrendered on their own initiative, and Xue Pingzu is still in charge of the imperial guards in the capital, and is deeply trusted by Jiang Che.

Such changes made him very puzzled.

He could accept it if it was anyone else, but Xue Pingzu was really a little difficult to accept this fact.

However, whether he accepted it or not, the fact was like this.

He could not have any doubts.

And he faced only two choices, one was to die in battle, and the other was to surrender.

In fact, what Xue Pingzu didn't know was that Marshal Chen was indeed ready to die in battle, but not for the court, but for Master Wen, since he heard that Master Wen died in battle.

He wanted to avenge the Grand Master, after all, the Grand Master was as important to him as his master.

But Jiang Che was too strong, so he couldn't do it at all. He just waited quietly for that day to come.

But the letter sent by Xue Pingzu to him also contained the photo stone of Grand Master Wen before his death. He could see that it was Grand Master Wen who asked for death, otherwise Jiang Che would have shown mercy.

After reading all this, Marshal Chen crushed the photo stone and fell into deep silence.

It must be said that Jiang Che treated him well. His treatment remained the same and was improved. He also emphasized that the new dynasty would send more troops to Tianyuan in the future and go to war with the demons.

If he just surrendered, he would not fight hard for the sake of his troops, but he was ready to retire. However, when he thought of Tianyuan City in the future, he softened his heart.

He immediately wrote a letter to Xue Pingzu, expressing his willingness to surrender to Jiang Che unconditionally and then wait for the other party to take the military power.

After sending people away, the first thing Marshal Chen had to do was to purge some of the former imperial court's military commanders and military supervisors. He did not keep any of those who were unwilling to be aware of current affairs.

However, as the saying goes, those who know current affairs are heroes.

Those who are willing to be aware of current affairs account for a large number of people.

In this way, Jiang Che almost did not spend any energy and easily subdued more than 300,000 soldiers and horses on the Zhongzhou defense line. In just a few days, he successfully suppressed and ruled the Zhongzhou territory.

In this process, the news of the battle in the capital also spread throughout the world in the shortest time.

For a while, the world was shocked. (End of this chapter)
