Chapter 833: The Dao Is Near

"The ancestor of the Liang clan, Liang Yuan, cultivated the Blood Method and directly blood-sacrificed the entire Fenxin Imperial Clan, including the Fenxin Holy Emperor, and then fled, leaving no trace."

Zhu Long reported the intelligence he had obtained.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanlong chuckled: "This Liang Yuan is quite a character, possessing the air of an overlord. How come I didn't see it before?"

"It's just a pity—"

"He was born at the wrong time."

Above the Fenxin Immortal Dynasty, there were several great mountains pressing down; even if he was ruthless enough, it was still difficult to take that step to become a True Person.

In fact, let alone Liang Yuan, even the genius of that year, Daoist Lord Juxiang, didn't he turn into smoke and clouds under the joint efforts of the seven great Immortal Sects, including the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty?

By comparison—

Li Rui's luck was much better.

He met Jiang Linxian and joined Bai Yujing as a matter of course.

Although he could not compare to the Four Supremes, compared to Liang Yuan, he was undoubtedly much better off.

Li Rui pondered: "Send some people to Taihua Province; the territory of the former Eastern Commandant's Prefecture must eventually be taken back."

He had clashed with this Liang Yuan several times.

The enmity could not be resolved.

Although Liang Yuan had blood-sacrificed the entire Fenxin clan to assist his own cultivation, the hope of stepping into the Body Integration realm was still extremely slim; to the Li Rui of today, he posed no threat.

But this Liang Yuan was indeed ruthless enough.

Precisely because he was ruthless, Li Rui had to cut the weeds and dig up the roots.

He did not want to leave any future trouble for himself.

"Additionally, send people to investigate where Liang Yuan is now."

Zhu Long nodded: "Good."

He immediately used a communication stone to send Li Rui's words to the imperial palace ten thousand miles away.

Although he was not the Retired Emperor who ruled from behind the curtain, his weight in the Yu Kingdom was not light.

The Holy Emperor of Yu and the Grand Secretary Liang acted quickly.

Even before Li Rui gave the order, they had already sent troops to Taihua Province.

Pretending to be loose cultivators—

They joined other Immortal Sects to carve up the Fenxin Immortal Dynasty, occupying a large piece of land, which included the former Eastern Commandant's Prefecture.

The location of the Eastern Commandant's Prefecture held significant weight in the Yu Kingdom.

Because it was the place where the Yu Kingdom's ancestor, Changqing, had made his fortune, every military official in the Yu Kingdom took pride in recovering the Eastern Commandant's Prefecture.

Of course—

Li Rui did not have those obsessions.

After all, he had snatched that piece of land from others himself.

"The Fenxin Immortal Dynasty has been carved up by thirteen sects; the noble men are slaves, and the women are prostitutes. From this day forward, there is no more Fenxin Immortal Dynasty in the world."

Zhu Long said.

A few light words—

Yet it was the end of a dynasty that had lasted several thousand years.

One could not help but sigh.

What of a first-rate Immortal Dynasty? It could still be cast into a state of eternal damnation overnight.

Thinking of this, Zhu Long had to be glad that the Great Yu now had two True Persons, standing extremely firmly in the position of a first-rate Immortal Dynasty.

As for Li Rui, the initiator, he was drinking tea with a calm and indifferent expression.

'Perhaps it won't be long before the territory of the Yu Kingdom can double again.'

He had received news.

Seven days ago—

The Sword River Daoist Lord, Jiang Linxian, had gone to the Wan Fadian and the Blood Xue Xue Mo Jiao.

They had a fight.

And then the Wan Fadian and the Blood Xue Xue Mo Jiao agreed.

From then on—

Taihua Province was no longer the land of three families; Bai Yujing would also have a share.

Even though Zhuge Ming did not have much lifespan left, he was still a solid Daoist Lord, qualified to have a share of the pie in Taihua Province.

The Wan Fadian and the Blood Xue Xue Mo Jiao understood this logic as well.

But the reason they could agree so readily was because of another person: Daoist Lord Shenhun of the Shenxuan Sect.

Daoist Lord Shenhun had already agreed to be annexed by Bai Yujing for five hundred years.

As for why he did this—

It was because the genius True Person of the Shenxuan Sect, who had the greatest possibility of becoming a Daoist Lord, had fallen in the North Sea Immortal Tomb.

The news had been kept hidden by the Shenxuan Sect.

Cultivation is just like this.

Worldly affairs are impermanent.

Originally, Daoist Lord Shenhun had pinned his hopes on this genius to become a Daoist Lord; now that the person was dead, the Shenxuan Sect had no successor. To wait for the next batch to grow up would take at least five or six hundred years, and Daoist Lord Shenhun felt he could not wait until then. ===== CHAPTER 834 =====
