Chapter 422 The Truth of War
Tianyuanzhou added thousands of people. With the help of Tianming City, the Dongli refugees quickly established their own temporary settlement.
Originally, the population of the four towns of Dongli was tens of thousands, but now, Ning Wuxie has gathered less than 10,000 people.
Most of the people died under the knife of the "Wuyuan Demon Lord" disguised by Renzong. Some people were separated during the escape, which was also unavoidable.
The people of the four towns of Dongli came to this new world with great astonishment. They were all stunned to see that the mountains, rivers, and lakes were all fresh and beautiful, and the resources were extremely rich.
It was like a paradise, with vast land and natural treasures for them to use.
It was more comfortable and peaceful than the four towns of Dongli.
They found a place close to the mountains and the sea to settle down, and named the new town Dongli.
Tianming City's assistance was also conditional, that is, the residents of Dongli Town must build a shrine for Ning Wuxie, burn incense and worship every day, and believe in the only emperor of Tianyuanzhou.
For this request, the people of Dongli Town had no reason to refuse.
On the one hand, it was indeed Ning Wuxie who gave them a way to survive, and on the other hand, they did need the assistance of Tianming City.
It was very hard to build a town from scratch. The surviving people in Dongli Town lacked many craftsmen, tools, and food.
In order to survive, they had to believe in Emperor Ning. The planning of the town was also based on the statue of Ning Wuxie in the center, so that everyone would not forget the emperor.
At first, they might feel a little reluctant and not sincere when worshiping.
But the power of habit is strong.
Every day when they see the statue of Ning Wuxie, they will be reminded once who brought them here to live, who made them full and not bullied.
After a few years, faith has become a deep-rooted thing that cannot be shaken.
There are now four human settlements in Tianyuanzhou, Tianming City and its branch city Xuancheng, Chilong Town composed of Donghai Islanders, and Dongli Town.
The total number of people adds up to more than 300,000, and Tianming City and Xuancheng account for the vast majority.
Chongjue has abdicated and handed over the power of management to other people in Tianming City. She began to promote the emperor's faith in Tianyuanzhou, mainly in Chilong Town and Dongli Town.
Now it is no longer like when there were few people. At that time, Ning Wuxie could only stay in Tianyuanzhou for several months without going out to get the blessing of the power of faith. Now, as long as he enters Tianyuanzhou, Ning Wuxie can feel that there are strands of faith power gathering on him.
Although this faith power is only better than nothing now.
But if the number of people in Tianyuanzhou increases, and these people are firm in their faith...
What will the power of faith be like at that time?
Ning Wuxie is looking forward to it.
Hugging Xuan'er lying on his shoulder, Ning Wuxie began to think about the next action.
In the Snow Dragon Ridge in the northern border, Ye Qingxuan must have been in place, just waiting for him to come to the door.
For this matter, he will definitely be cautious and cautious.
In fact, in Chouyun River, Ye Qingxuan sent a strong man in the heavenly fairyland to Yuchi Songxu, which was enough to show his importance.
Yuchi Songxu is already one of the strongest celestial beings in the world. His own strength is unmatched. He also has five hundred evil tigers as magic weapons, and finally he even has a life-saving method similar to the Nine Heavens Hunhou Heart Method.
Perhaps he did not expect that Yuchi Songxu would be killed directly. It stands to reason that it should be difficult to distinguish between him and Wuyuan Zhenren, and he did not take the other earthly immortals seriously at all.
As a result, Yuchi Songxu is dead now, and there is no sign of the coming of the Heavenly Dao.
This means that the immortal spirit body has not taken action.
Ning Wuxie speculated that he might also have the intention of using his subordinates to force Xuan'er to use the power of the Heavenly Dao.
And this intention may be quite big.
Wouldn't there be no one to compete with him for the strongest?
But all failed, and the celestial being was killed by Ning Wuxie in the battle.
If it were not for the guidance of Emperor Tianhuo, who raised the Nine Heavens Hunhou Heart Method to the same level as Wutian Huari Gong, Ning Wuxie would not dare to waste it like this.
In order to defeat Ye Qingxuan, he must practice hard every day, but by then the opponent will definitely have more than one Tianxian realm.
The trump card he has is not enough.
Ning Wuxie wants to borrow the power of faith. This magical energy is beneficial to long-term practice and short-term combat power improvement.
And the most important factor of faith power is population.
Touching Xuan'er's smooth and delicate body, Ning Wuxie felt that she seemed to wake up and pushed into his arms.
Ning Wuxie raised his arm slightly to let her stick to him, and reached into the quilt with his other hand and put one of Xuan'er's big white legs on his waist.
He also wanted to have children with Xuan'er, but now one Chen'er was enough.
It would be irresponsible to have more children.
It is necessary to bring in population from the outside world, from the Lingwu Continent.
And this war is the best opportunity!
…
A few days later, Shangyun Kingdom, Beizezhou.
In the city of Beizezhou, the streets were deserted, all the shops were closed, and only a few pedestrians hurriedly walked by with their heads down.
Among them were Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er.
The army of Shangyun Kingdom was just outside the city, and would soon support the army of the Great Chu Dynasty in the west and launch an attack.
Therefore, all the things that could be requisitioned in the city of Beizezhou were taken away by the army, including rice, flour, grain and oil. Most of the business on the street was also suspended. The remaining wine shops and inns that could be opened were all those who had connections with people in the government, and they took advantage of this to raise prices wildly and make a lot of ill-gotten gains.
But Ning Wuxie had a lot of ill-gotten gains, so he moved in openly.
When he arrived at the frontline city, all kinds of rumors began to increase.
Ning Wuxie could also gradually understand the real reason for the outbreak of this war.
Although the war was ostensibly the end of the four human countries, there was also the shadow of the Lanyuan Dynasty behind it.
The demon dynasty, which has always been low-key and not involved in human affairs, seems to have learned the power of the human race after more than ten years of trade and exchanges with other countries.
There are rumors that the Mo Jiao tribe allowed an army of Shangyun to enter the country and launch an attack from an angle that Dayu could not defend.
There are also rumors that Lanyuan provided material support to the four countries behind the scenes to help them face the problem of blocked trade routes when they went to war with Dayu.
What's more, it is believed that it is precisely because the mythical beast of Xuanqin has not been resurrected for a long time and has lost its deterrent power in the northwest of Lingwu Continent that the other three countries want to take advantage of it.
In the restaurant, people denounced the Confucianism for its incompetence. They sent a large number of Confucian scholars to various countries, but they could not prevent the war from happening.
In recent years, in order to eliminate the mysterious Wuyuan Demon Lord who was elusive, the Ren Sect has been causing trouble everywhere, disturbing the people in many places, and the Confucianism did not care.
Ning Wuxie sat on the second floor of the restaurant and was secretly shocked.
Every rumor these drunkards said was related to what he did.
It was him who prevented the Mo Jiao clan from being overthrown, and it was also him who made Mo Xin open up the Lanyuan Kingdom, introduce Confucian scholars, and communicate with other countries for trade.
It was also him who stole the mythical beast of Xuan Qin and fed it to Bai Zhou... I don’t know if Zhao Xun and others found out.
And the dereliction of duty of the Confucianism was also related to Ning Wuxie. He pushed Ye Qingxuan to a panic, and made him slaughter the people of the four towns of Dongli and send disciples of the Ren Sect to various places.
At the beginning, everyone might still understand, but until today, four or five years later, people are tired.
Didn't the Wuyuan Demon Lord come out all the time? Why is the Ren Sect still making a fuss and causing trouble?
The Ren Sect was of course the one that received the most criticism, but the Confucian School was also implicated because of its poor performance. After all, when talking about the Ren Sect, one has to mention the Confucian School.
All these led to the gradual decline of the authority of the Confucian School in various dynasties. In the end, Yuchi Songxu died, the strength of Dayu was greatly reduced, and the other four countries launched a war.
It was indeed the butterfly that shook the sea. Ning Wuxie never thought that his actions at the time would have such consequences now...
