Chapter 145 The Opponent Compromises
This puppet self-destruction is really powerful. As long as the opponent is not outrageously powerful, even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage will be afraid of the Golden Core puppet self-destruction.
Although it is a method that hurts the enemy by 1,000 and hurts oneself by 800, eh? In fact, for Feng Tianzong, it doesn't seem to be a self-destruction of 800.
He is not like other seniors in the same sect. It takes decades to refine a high-grade puppet. First, cultivate a spell to produce a magical seed, and then look for various precious spiritual materials. It takes dozens or hundreds of years to refine a puppet.
Once it self-destructs, dozens or hundreds of years of hard work will be in vain, and there is also the risk of a significant decrease in combat effectiveness.
For Feng Tianzong, all these difficulties seem to be solved by taxation. It's just that the materials are a little difficult to find.
However, Jinshi doesn't use materials from the Golden Core stage, so it's not that precious.
If you calculate it this way, it seems that if he self-destructs the puppet, he will only lose 100? It seems less than 50! He has to give his opponent some face.
Thinking of this, Feng Tianzong instantly became more confident. It was as if it was not his puppet that was controlled by the magic weapon. It was as if he controlled the other party.
"Tell me first, where did Jin Hongzhi go? Why are you in the Jiemenguan military camp?" Feng Tianzong asked. Although he was still tied up, he had suppressed the other party in terms of momentum.
"I am Wan Hongcheng, a cultivator of the Wanfa Sect. The Great Xia Dynasty was established with the support of our Wanfa Sect. I don't know where Jin Hongzhi is, and I am looking for him now.
The court received intelligence before that the cultivators of the Qianshan Sect did not follow the rules and left the scene before the dragon battle. They actually controlled Jin Hongzhi, the commander of the Zhenyuan Army at the Jiemen Pass.
Before my Wanfa Sect extracts the dragon veins of Great Xia, this Jiemen Pass must not be lost.
The sect sent me here to see the specific situation so that I can deal with the cultivators of the Qianshan Sect. I didn't expect that I didn't see Jin Hongzhi when I came. I just contacted the deputy commander in the city and stabilized the situation.
But those bastards of the Qianshan Sect are not in the city. Aren't they thinking of fishing them out?" Wan Hongcheng explained embarrassedly.
I wanted to fish for a fish, but who would have thought that I would fish for such a bomb in the end.
Wanfa Sect, when he was in the capital, the fat old man was still very respectful. He directly gave him Liaoyuan City and told him about the dragon battle. This is all favors, and I have to pay it back in the future.
Originally, Feng Tianzong was going to take the opportunity to seize the gate, so that he could attack and defend Guandong in the future.
Now that the Wanfa Sect has sent a Jindan cultivator, it is not easy for him to seize the gate.
"The cultivators from Qianshan Sect who entered the secular world to fight for the dragon have been killed by me. Your Great Xia Dynasty has extracted the dragon veins and dragon energy of the northern border. I plan to make arrangements in advance to receive 15 cities in the northern border." Feng Tianzong said openly.
This is not a secret matter. After all, he is about to take action and cannot hide it from others. And the death of Qianyang, the senior brother of Qianshan Sect and the Jindan cultivator, is not a trivial matter. The news will spread soon. Saying it at this time is also a deterrent to Wan Hongcheng.
"The dragon energy and dragon veins of the Northern Frontier have indeed been drained away. The natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Northern Frontier in recent years are all because of this.
It's okay if you want to make arrangements in advance, but the boundary gate cannot be used. Before we completely extract the dragon energy of the dragon veins of Daxia, the boundary gate must remain in our hands." Wan Hongcheng said solemnly.
Although Feng Tianzong is a threat to his life, he still has to fight for the interests of the sect.
"Okay, I won't touch the boundary gate for the time being. If you can send a message to the fifteen cities in the Northern Frontier, asking them not to resist and let my people take over smoothly, I, Feng Tianzong, will owe you a favor." Feng Tianzong asked for benefits openly. Although his puppet Jinshi was still imprisoned by the other party, this did not affect Feng Tianzong's strong words at all.
"Okay, this condition is not excessive, but I want to advise you that it is not just one group of people who are eyeing the Northern Frontier now.
Let's not talk about the people from Qianshan Sect. As far as I know, in addition to your Puppet Sect, there are two other sects that are also planning to take over the Northern Frontier.
Even if I give the order, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to take over the fifteen cities. They won't let you get control of the Northern Frontier so easily." Wan Hongcheng said with a smile.
After Wan Hongcheng said this, Feng Tianzong understood that it turned out that it was not just one group of people who were eyeing the Northern Frontier now. Those guys from Qianshan Sect were just the first to jump out, and there were two groups of people hiding in the dark.
Needless to say, Jin Hongzhi must have fallen into the hands of one of the groups. I just don't know whether Jin Hongzhi took the initiative to find someone to cooperate or was kidnapped.
It seems that I can't do what I want to do to quickly unify the entire Northern Frontier before the New Year. But since I already know that there are two groups of people in the dark, I might as well send troops directly. If the people in the dark don't want to see the Northern Frontier unified, they will always jump out.
"Thank you for telling me, senior. Please open the city gate. I promise not to attack the gate before the fall of Daxia after I leave." Feng Tianzong said solemnly.
Wan Hongcheng put away the dust in his hand and smiled and became the Taoist master again. Telling Feng Tianzong the news of the other two groups of people was also a favor.
He also wanted to let these forces who wanted to fight for the dragon fight in advance. It would be a good thing for their Daxia Dynasty if these forces fought to the death.
It didn't mean that after extracting the dragon veins and dragon energy, their Wanfa Sect would withdraw. They still had to participate in the fight for the dragon.
At most, they would change the family of a disciple, or not change at all, and directly play a game of dynasty revival after chaos. This has happened in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years.
There will naturally be many conveniences for the family members to fight for the dragon again. For example, they will deliberately send a corrupt official to play a game of officials forcing the people to rebel. At this time, if a hero stands up and calls for help, the court will send some old, weak, sick and disabled people to collect taxes.
The heroes who resist tyranny defeat the court's army again and again, and their prestige will rise, right? The court is framing and forcing some talented people, confiscating their homes and exiling them to the hero's territory.
When the hero saves the talented person and then saves the talented person's family, won't this make the talented person follow him wholeheartedly?
The development of power is so overwhelming and unstoppable. The most important thing is that the court does not send strong generals to collect taxes, but instead sends the main force to collect taxes from other rebels.
So this kind of family fight for the dragon is indeed very advantageous. This is also why the Great Xia Dynasty must guard the gate of the boundary.
Many forces have already set their sights on the Northern Frontier, but as long as the border gate is in their hands, no matter how well the forces in the Northern Frontier develop, they will not be able to affect the Kanto region.
