Chapter 298 – Integration, Cangnan Alliance, First Alliance Master

Chapter 298 – Integration, Cangnan Alliance, First Allied Leader

The rest of the words, Li Mingkong didn’t say.

But the people present, obviously understood what he meant.

Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Hou Dongbai, Gu Yuefeng and the others first looked at each other.

Eventually, they saw Hou Dongbai nod his head and said:

“Not bad, just now here, a YuanYing level battle did break out.”

Then, Hou Dongbai spoke about the general situation with the crowd.

After the crowd heard this, each and every one of them could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Just now, they felt that on the side of the Aqua Sword Pavilion, it seemed that an extremely extraordinary great battle had broken out.

However, they had never expected that a YuanYing level battle had broken out.

It had even alerted True Lord Xuan Yang from the Hidden Sword Palace.

Of course.

In the midst of all of this, what surprised and disbelieved the crowd the most was still the strength of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

The two of them had combined their strength and had actually temporarily blocked that thousand year old YuanYing Daolord.

What kind of concept was this?
Didn’t this mean that the couple’s strength today was almost comparable to that of a True Lord?

For a moment, the gazes of the crowd couldn’t help but all fall on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

It was at this moment that the gazes of the two of them, however, looked towards the distant sky.

There.

Several familiar recluse lights were speeding towards this side.

This immediately drew the attention of the crowd.

The crowd couldn’t help but follow the gazes of the two of them.

However, they did not see anything, nor was there the slightest detection in their divine sense.

Until a few moments later.

When the several recluse light, close to them hundreds of miles range, the people present, only then noticed.

And this, could not help but make the hearts of the crowd once again shocked.

The gap between the two sides, was it really this big?

Even though there was some reluctance to admit it, the facts were in front of them, and even if they didn’t want to admit it, they still had to admit it.

Today’s Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, between them and them, were indeed no longer on the same level.

Soon, the several reclining lights landed in front of them.

It was none other than the cultivators who had arrived from the two countries of Yun Yan.

Among them were Jiang Chengxuan and their acquaintances.

Zheng Beilong, Meng Lanzhu, and Broken Blade and the rest of them.

Like Li Mingkong and the others present, when Zheng Beilong and the others, after learning about what had happened here, they were equally shocked.

The only difference was that Zheng Beilong didn’t feel any jealousy or unacceptable emotions towards the strength of Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, instead, he showed heartfelt admiration and joy.

After the several parties had pretty much talked about what was going on here, they heard Broken One Blade from Yan say:
“Everyone, do you know what kind of situation is going on in Zheng Shu’s two countries today?”

In regards to this question, the people present really weren’t particularly clear.

Then he heard Elder Flowing Fire from the Aqua Sword Pavilion say, “Brother Broken, your Yan Country is the closest to those two countries, do you have any findings on your side?”

Originally, when he asked this, it was just a subconscious rhetorical question, and he didn’t expect Broken Sword to really find anything, but he didn’t want him to actually nod his head and say:
“Before I came over, I did hear something.

It is said that the several Jindan clans, families, of that Zheng Shu and the two countries have basically been pretty much exterminated.”

“What?”

Suddenly hearing these words from Broken First Blade, a touch of shock could not help but spread across the faces of everyone present.

They were still really a bit in disbelief that the several Jindan sects, clans of Zheng Shu and the two countries, would be destroyed just that easily.

One must know that the two countries combined, but there were more than eight Golden Dan level forces ah.

How could they have been almost destroyed?
But soon, when they recalled the terrifying fluctuations they had felt earlier.

Especially the crowd of cultivators from the Aqua Sword Pavilion.

They couldn’t be more clear about the strength of that thousand year old Yuan Ying Daolord.

With the other party’s means and strength, I’m afraid that if they wanted to overthrow the Jindan forces of Zheng and Shu in a short period of time, it really wouldn’t be particularly difficult.

Because in terms of their own feelings, this time, if it wasn’t for Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, as well as the words of True Lord Xuanyang, their Bishui Sword Pavilion, and even the Tianyue Sect, I’m afraid that they wouldn’t be able to hold out for much longer.

Thinking of this, everyone’s faces couldn’t help but take on a touch of gravity.

At this moment, they heard Zheng Beilong say:
“Everyone, this matter is of great importance, so to be on the safe side, I suggest that it would be best if we could personally travel to that Zheng Shu’s two countries to confirm this matter in person.”

Regarding this suggestion from Zheng Beilong, the people present did not have any opinions.

At that moment, a group of people determined the area that each of them would be responsible for scouting, and then each of them headed towards Zheng Shu’s two countries.

A few days later.

The crowd regrouped again.

And this time, the number of people was significantly larger than at first.

Everyone’s faces wore a rather grave look.

The matter had actually been truly spoken for by the Broken Blade.

Nowadays, the Jindan forces within Zheng Shu’s two countries had actually been pretty much exterminated.

At least these days, they had not seen a single Jindan cultivator within the boundaries of Zheng and Shu.

What this situation meant was already self-evident.

Even if there were still the occasional lucky survivor among those eight families, at this time, I’m afraid that they would have long since fled to the outside.

At least for a long period of time, it will never come back.

This created a very serious problem.

What should be done next with such a huge territory of the two countries?

It’s impossible to just leave them empty, right?
That would be too wasteful.

Most importantly, without the nearly eight Jindan forces of Zheng Shu and the two countries, what should be done about the demonic beasts in the near future?
Could it be that those demonic beasts would be allowed to attack the boundaries of Zheng Shu and the two countries?

Occupy these two countries?

How many people would have to die?
This number, even with the minds of all the Jindans present, just by thinking about it a little bit, they all had a feeling of shuddering.

So.

Zheng Shu two countries, must not be allowed to be so empty.

One must try to integrate them before doing so.

Otherwise, when the Demon Beast Rebellion came in the future, it would be difficult for them to take care of that side.

Moreover, there was another important issue that no one had spoken about.

That is, within Zheng Shu’s two countries, that huge resource, they could never just let it be empty for nothing, or even give it to other people cheaply.

“Let’s all talk about it, there’s something about that Zheng Shu two countries, what exactly should we do with it, it will be a bit better?”

At this time, Jiang Chengxuan took the lead in breaking the silence.

As the one whose strength was recognized as the highest in the arena, with him taking the lead in making this proposal, everyone would not have any opinions.

It was only that the interests and importance involved in this matter at the moment were simply too vast.

After some time passed, not a single person spoke up easily.

Jiang Chengxuan wasn’t in a hurry, he just waited.

Until when this time, another few moments past, Bishui Sword Pavilion’s pavilion master Hou Dongbai, finally broke the silence.

Only to hear him say, “I think that right now, if we continue as we did in the past, with each country as a unit, it’s obviously already a bit less suitable.”

These words immediately caused the hearts of the crowd to stir.

Then they heard Yu Haoji of the Tian Yue Sect say, “Then according to Pavilion Master Hou’s meaning is ……?”

The gazes of the crowd all looked towards Hou Dongbai as well.

He heard Hou Dongbai say, “My suggestion is integration.”

“Integration?”

“Good.”

Hou Dongbai nodded.

“Integrate the power of you, me, and everyone else into one.

From now on, in our Cangnan Domain, there will no longer be the five kingdoms of Liang, Yun, Yan, Zheng, and Shu.

What there is, is merely the Cangnan Alliance after integration, I wonder what everyone thinks?”

“Cangnan Alliance?”

Hearing these words from Hou Dongbai, everyone’s brows could not help but furrow.

They were truly surprised that Hou Dongbai would give such a proposal.

At this moment, they heard Realist He Yun of the Cloud Kingdom’s Northern Cloud Sect say:

“If all of our forces, all of them, are integrated into the Cangnan Alliance, then what about the legacies of our various families?
Should they also be merged into this Cangnan Alliance together?”

Obviously, what Realist He Yun was worried about here was also what many people present were worried about in their hearts.

In principle, everyone was actually more agreeable to this proposal given by Hou Dongbai.

However, the biggest problem was about the inheritance of each family.

After all, not everyone was willing to give up their own family’s inheritance so as to integrate it into a new system.

“This I don’t think is necessary.”

Hou Dongbai spoke once more.

“The reason for creating the alliance and integrating the power of your and my families into one is that its primary purpose is to not allow the power of your and my families to be dispersed.

At the same time, in the days to come, they will also be able to help each other.

As for the inheritance of each family, I personally feel that it can be completely preserved.

And in terms of independence, each family will not be subject to any great restrictions.

The only thing that needs to be obeyed is the order of the alliance leader.

This is the core and the principle.

Of course, anyone who is able to become the Alliance Master of the Cangnan Alliance must also possess sufficient superiority.

Here, I propose that our Cangnan Alliance’s first alliance master will be taken on by Daoyou Jiang.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present couldn’t help but become somewhat subtle for a moment.

They looked towards Jiang Chengxuan.

Suddenly, there was a person who smiled faintly and nodded:
“What Pavilion Master Hou said is very true, I agree with you.”

At those words, the crowd couldn’t help but all be startled, and immediately turned their heads to look.

Then they saw Zheng Beilong with a smile on his face.

For the gazes of the crowd, he did not care at all.

Just at the same time, Broken Blade from Yan, also immediately took a stance.

“I don’t have any opinions either.”

Seeing Zheng Beilong and Broken One Blade take a stance one after another, Wen Shujun and Li Mingkong from the Heavenly Yue Sect and the others also immediately voiced out their stance.

Seeing that more and more people agreed with Hou Dongbai’s proposal and allowed Jiang Chengxuan to serve as that Cangnan Alliance’s first alliance leader, everyone else present also knew that the momentum had been set.

At that moment, they all stopped insisting and expressed their agreement.

The only thing that needed to be determined right now was Jiang Chengxuan’s own intentions.

After all, no matter how lively everyone talks here, if Jiang Chengxuan himself is not willing, then there is no meaning.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan did not refuse.

After all, no matter whether this matter is for himself, or for the entire Jiang family, it is something that has more advantages than disadvantages.

He naturally had no reason to refuse.

Thus, this matter was finalized in this manner.

Next, what the people discussed were some relative details.

For example, some systems after the establishment of the alliance, as well as about the division of power between the two countries Zheng Shu.

Here, Jiang Chengxuan’s Jiang family was undoubtedly going to take the lion’s share.

It was also fortunate that right now, in his hands, there were still two puppets that had reached the middle Jindan level.

With these two puppets, together with the cultivators of their Jiang and Shen families, stabilizing those two new territories shouldn’t be much of a problem.

After the people had discussed these matters, they didn’t stay any longer and returned to their respective sects or clans.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were naturally no exception.

As soon as the two of them returned to the Jiang family, they called all the Jiang family’s Purple Mansion Elders, including Jiang Renyi, and spoke to them about the matter of establishing the Cangnan Alliance.

This matter, for Jiang Renyi and the rest of the crowd, the impact was undoubtedly very great.

However, at the same time, they also realized that if they could grasp this opportunity, it would definitely be a leap forward for their entire Jiang family.

After arranging things on the Jiang family’s side, the couple, again, traveled to the Empty Cang Mountain to meet Shen Yuanlong and chatted with him for a long time.

It was only after all the things had been arranged and the people they were supposed to meet had been seen, that the couple no longer hesitated and entered their respective cave dwellings to begin their seclusion.

Regardless of whether it was to serve as the ally of the Cangnan Alliance, or to deal with the future demonic beast chaos, or to face those YuanYing level forces in the future, there was one important thing that couldn’t be separated from it, and that was strength.

Only when their own strength went up, in the future, they would have the ability to deal with all possibilities.

At this time.

Inside Jiang Chengxuan’s cave.

He had already taken out the bottle of Fifth Order Demon Emperor’s Essence Blood.

From this bottle of essence blood, Jiang Chengxuan felt the pressure from a YuanYing level demonic beast.

If this were an ordinary Jindan cultivator, not to mention using it to refine the body, I’m afraid that even if it was placed in front of him, the fifth-order pressure emanating from it would be enough to make it difficult for him to move.

This is by no means an exaggeration.

You have to know, the gap from the level, that is not anyone can easily ignore.

Of course.

For the current Jiang Chengxuan, there would be no such problem.

Not to mention a mere bottle of fifth-order Demon Emperor’s essence blood, even if it was really a fifth-order Demon Emperor in front of him, with his current strength, he would still dare to touch it head-on.

“Roar!”

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan opened the bottle of blood, a purple colored demonic beast shaped like a dragon and a python suddenly coalesced at the mouth of the bottle.

This was the Demon Emperor’s Essence Spirit that remained in this bottle of Essence Blood.

Although it is only a wisp of residual thoughts, but it is enough to let the average Jindan cultivator on the spot soft hands and feet, ugly.

Just facing Jiang Chengxuan, this bit of its pressure is not much stronger than those breezes.

Then I saw him flex his fingers and flick.

There was a buzzing sound.

The bottle of mauve-colored, fifth-ranked Demon Emperor Essence Blood was then injected by him into a vat of boiling water that had been prepared in advance.
