Chapter 265: Tai Shi Ming Zhen Disappears (1/2)
"Brother, Feng Tianzong is so rampant, he recklessly sent troops to attack neighboring countries and disrupt the order of the sixteen human countries. With this reason, can't our Wanfa Sect take action to deal with him?" A cultivator looked at the army of Da Shang from a distance and said angrily.
The army of Da Shang is not only large and continuous, but also followed by spontaneous militias. They don't want military pay, provide their own dry food, and provide their own weapons and equipment to fight for the country, which shows the militarism and bellicosity to the fullest.
"You don't understand. Feng Tianzong gave our Star Dragon Boat to the Puppet Sect. As long as it is not a fault that can cause the whole cultivation world to condemn, the Puppet Sect will protect him to the death even if they fight to the death with our Wanfa Sect.
Now Feng Tianzong has just annexed a country. Even if we make trouble, with the Puppet Sect's death protection, he will at most withdraw his troops from the State of Chen. What can we do to him?
So now is not the time for us to take revenge. Look at how rampant Feng Tianzong is. He just sent troops to annex the State of Chen, and now he is sending troops to the north.
Just jumping up and down like this, let's see how long he can jump? The mortal world is ten Each of the six countries is the product of the dragon fight.
It represents eleven major sects (some of which are powerful and have won the dragon fight many times). One sect may bear this breath, but when he offends more people.
If our Wanfa Sect stands up again and calls for action, these offended major sects will definitely stand on our side. At that time, we will execute him on the charge of disrupting the order of the cultivation world, and the Puppet Sect cannot stand up to protect him in the face of the world's disapproval. That will be his death. "An old Taoist priest looked at Liaoyuan City from afar, looking at the huge national destiny black bird above Liaoyuan City, and said angrily.
"He only knows that the larger the country and the more people there are, the stronger the dragon energy will be, but he doesn't know that dragon energy is poisonous. Too much dragon energy will suppress his cultivation. If he absorbs too much dragon energy, his cultivation will never improve.
They, the Puppet Sect, never participate in the dragon fight, how can they know such secret things?" The younger cultivator said complacently.
The reason why they did not stop Feng Tianzong from conquering cities was because they wanted to watch Feng Tianzong step into the bottomless abyss step by step.
Feng Tianzong was still curious about why the Xiuxian world did not make any moves, and it seemed that all the preparations he had made were in vain. But for him, it was really a good thing.
The later the Xiuxian world took action against him, the better. When he truly unified the sixteen kingdoms of the mortal world, it would be the time for the Shang Dynasty to attack the Xiuxian world.
He didn't know that the people of the Wanfa Sect were also waiting for him to complete the unification of the sixteen kingdoms. Even the people of the Tianjian Sect did not fail to complain. They went to complain, but the matter was secretly suppressed by the Wanfa Sect, and then the news was revealed that it was suppressed by the Puppet Sect.
The people of the Tianjian Sect felt a stone in their hearts. Just wait for what kind of power the Tianjian Sect can burst out when the world attacks together.
The two sides thought of it together very tacitly, so that things went very smoothly. Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to be beaten.
Da Shang sent troops to the north and completely destroyed Beirong within two months. None of the cultivators of Beirong showed up, and they even took away the royal family members in advance. It was a sensible person.
Things went so smoothly that Feng Tianzong was a little surprised: "Could my fierce reputation have made a large sect retreat?" He couldn't understand why the sect behind Beirong was so cowardly.
However, the population of Da Shang has doubled. It annexed two countries in one fell swoop. Now Da Shang has a population of 300 million. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has a vast territory.
"Your Majesty, everything is going well in Beirong. There are occasional rebellious forces, but they are not a big deal. Moreover, we have seized a large amount of food and grass in Beirong, which is enough to support Da Shang's army to continue fighting." Wang Mingyuan excitedly reported to Feng Tianzong.
Originally, when Feng Tianzong told him about unifying the sixteen kingdoms, he thought that it would take his entire life to achieve this. Now it seems that it may not take that long. At this speed, the army of Dashang can be divided into three groups and three more countries can be conquered within this year.
Within three years, the unification of the sixteen kingdoms can be completely completed.
Although Feng Tianzong was very happy in his heart, so many people, these are all taxes, all his strength.
It's just that this abnormal situation now makes him a little worried. He doesn't know what the opponent is planning, which makes him a little worried.
There are too many magical powers in the world of cultivating immortals. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. If you don't know the opponent's plan, it's easy to jump into the trap dug by the opponent.
In this situation where everything is going well, Feng Tianzong is a little afraid to act rashly.
"Come here, ask the queen to come over and say that I have something to discuss with her." Feng Tianzong ordered.
After receiving the news, Tai Shi Mingzhen rushed over quickly.
"My husband, what happened? Why are you so sad?" Tai Shi Mingzhen saw Feng Tianzong frowning and asked.
"It's not a big deal, but I'm a little confused. Logically speaking, our Shang Dynasty is expanding wildly and has destroyed two mortal countries, but now there is no movement in the world of immortal cultivation. Things are a little abnormal.
I always feel that someone is plotting against us secretly, but I don’t know what the other person is plotting? Based on my guess, the only one who can plot against me is the Wanfa Sect. I have offended them miserably.
Your Five Elements Sect and Wanfa Sect are both Dharma cultivators and are both major sects in the world of cultivation. They both say that they are enemies in the same field. Your two sects require roughly the same resources for cultivation, which is the most direct competitive relationship.
It is said that the person who knows you best is often your opponent. What do you think these guys from Wanfa Sect are doing behind the scenes? "Feng Tianzong asked.
"I can't guess this, but I can go back and ask the sect. There are many elders in the sect who have a deeper understanding of Wanfa Sect. I think they can guess it." Taishi Mingzhen said.
"Well, you go back and ask. Before that, I will take a moment to let the people of the newly occupied two countries completely surrender. The promotion of martial arts can also increase the number of soldiers in our great merchants." Feng Tianzong said.
The fact that Dashang was able to conquer both countries so quickly was the result of thirty years of development. During these thirty years, Dashang had spent huge resources cultivating martial arts talents.
This resulted in the powerful military strength of Dashang, which was able to sweep through ordinary countries with one enemy against a hundred. But the more territory you occupy, the more troops you need to garrison.
It is not just about guarding those who want to rebel and bandits, but more importantly, it is actually about clearing away the monsters that hurt people everywhere and protecting the country and the people.

Now that Dashang's territory has tripled, although the army is still sufficient for the time being, it cannot allocate too much to continue attacking other countries.
If we really want to attack, we can defeat it by relying solely on the militia. But after we attack, we still need to send people to guard it.
So Feng Tianzong simply decided to take it slow. Anyway, it would take a year or two to settle down. It was not that he was waiting for those who had recently joined the two countries to become successful in practicing martial arts. It would take at least ten or eight years to wait for the people from those two countries to become successful. Just fine.
What Feng Tianzong wants to wait for is for a new group of young people from Dashang to grow up, and then there will naturally be a large number of soldiers.
Under the auspices of Prime Minister Wang Mingyuan, the two newly surrendered countries quickly accepted the laws of Dashang, and the civilian resistance forces were quickly wiped out by the army.
Everything quickly fell into place.
Feng Tianzong was still waiting for news from Taishi Mingzhen, but one month passed and two months passed, but there was still no news from Taishi Mingzhen. Feng Tianzong used his spiritual voice to send messages but there was no news.
"No, something must have happened to Taishi Mingzhen. Even if he didn't get any news from the sect, he should have sent me a message." Feng Tianzong thought worriedly.
At the beginning, he actually had no feelings for Taishi Mingzhen, he was just interested in her. But after decades of companionship, Taishi Mingzhen behaved very wisely, and Feng Tianzong gradually developed feelings. He himself didn't know if it was love, but at least it was family affection.
Long-term companionship is all about family affection.
He dare not leave the mortal world easily now. The mortal world is still protected by a large formation. Any Nascent Soul monk who enters it will be sensed by the sect that controls the formation.
This formation is both a restriction and a kind of protection. Now Feng Tianzong, as long as he does not leave the mortal world, even if Wanfa Sect wants to attack him, they will not be able to send out Nascent Soul monks.
As for the Jindan monks, they have already tried it and lost the sect's most precious star dragon boat. I will never stupidly send a Golden Core cultivator over to assassinate him again. That's just food delivery.
Once Feng Tianzong leaves the mortal world, it's hard to predict. With Wanfa Sect's cautiousness, they will definitely send Nascent Soul monks to attack him.
Not to mention others, Wan Honggang's father alone would definitely want to kill him to avenge his son's death. Back then, in the mortal world and in public, he wanted to take action. If he hadn't been blocked by the seniors of the Puppet Sect, Feng Tianzong would have died as a clone.
Maybe the clones have been refined and come back.
Feng Tianzong simply showed up in the royal capital. In order to celebrate the great merchants' expansion of territory and the destruction of two countries, he wanted to have fun with the people and have a big banquet for three days.
While all the dark eyes were drawn to the royal capital, he searched for the clone of the spiritual material in the wild and rushed to the Five Elements Sect.
"Puppet Sect Feng Tianzong came to pay homage to the mountain." Feng Tianzong said through a message from the Five Elements Sect.
Soon the people guarding the mountain gate came out to greet him.
"Senior, why are you here?" A foundation-building monk said respectfully. However, although this man's tone was respectful, the hatred in his eyes could not be concealed.
Feng Tianzong knew that the original hatred had not been eliminated, even though it was a conventional rule that there was no grudge between life and death in the dragon fight. But saying that, how can there really be no resentment.
Among so many sects, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect had the most people who died at his hands. Although Feng Tianzong did not show mercy to people from other sects, his reputation for evil had spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation at that time, and people who were not strong enough generally did not dare to appear in front of him.
The gatekeeper disciple of the Five Elements Sect must have lost his fellow disciples and sisters at his hands. Cultivators are actually a group of people who hold grudges.
It has been decades since the incident, and perhaps a generation has passed in the secular world. Many things have been forgotten with the passage of time.
But it is not the case in the world of immortal cultivation. Enemies from hundreds or thousands of years ago may still be alive and will always hate you. You don't know when they will jump out and stab you in the back.
This feeling is really terrifying to think about. Especially those old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage, who have been holding grudges against each other for thousands of years, I just want to ask if you are afraid.
Otherwise, why do we say that we must root out the grass? This is true for the mortal world, and it is even more true for the world of immortal cultivation. There are also sects that hold grudges for tens of thousands of years. The entire sect works hard to govern, and after tens of thousands of years, the enemy sect is wiped out.
Although the foundation-building cultivator in front of him showed a good attitude, Feng Tianzong still knew that this guy still hated him and would definitely kill him if he had the chance.
"I came here this time to ask about my Taoist partner Tai Shi Mingzhen. After she returned to the sect two months ago, there was no news. I was worried about her, so I came here to ask about her news." Feng Tianzong asked.
"Ah? No, Senior Sister Tai Shi hasn't come back recently! This year, I have been guarding the mountain gate. I must know who has come back." The young cultivator said in shock.
Feng Tianzong knew that although the young cultivator in the foundation-building period in front of him had hatred for him, he still didn't dare to delay such a big thing.
He quickly passed the news to the sect.
Many people flew out of the Five Elements Sect. Taishi Mingzhen was the most outstanding disciple of their generation in the Five Elements Sect. In less than a hundred years, she had already cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core Stage. She even cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core Stage while using secret methods and giving birth to a child. She was seriously injured and had cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core Stage.
Moreover, Taishi Mingzhen was also related to the Five Elements Sect's survival of the catastrophe this time. But she was a crucial disciple.
"Feng Daoyou, I am Mingzhen's master. When did you say Mingzhen returned to the sect?" A beautiful Taoist nun asked anxiously. Taishi Mingzhen was her disciple who she had brought up since she was a child. She was really a disciple closer to her than her own daughter. She would inherit her mantle in the future.
Now she was missing. How could she not be anxious?
"I discussed with her two months ago and asked her to return to the sect. But she never came back and hasn't returned yet."
