Chapter 834: Jiang Shan's Plan

Jiang Shan's chest heaved, his heart swelling with boundless heroism!

Once the intact Imperial Seal of the Human King bears the overwhelming fortune of the nation, it will be sufficient to establish a cultivator dynasty that shall endure for ten thousand generations!

By relying on the fortune of the world to nourish himself, enjoying the soft status of heaven and earth's karmic positions, his own cultivation speed can be increased by more than threefold!

Even more, as the dynasty continues to grow, the cultivation multiplier can be further enhanced.

By that time, his own cultivation base and realm are destined to make tremendous leaps!

Jiang Shan steadied his mind, tightly gripping the two sacred weapons in his hand, and murmured, "Everything is ready; it is time to seek out personnel..."

To establish a new dynasty, relying solely on oneself is certainly not enough.

Under his command, there must be numerous civil officials and military generals to form his own foundation, only then can he perfectly seize power from the Great Qin.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shan's eyes flickered, and he instantly formed a plan.

"The Mountain-Guarding Honored Guest Zhao Hu possesses the Martial King Body; his combat power is unmatched, making him a naturally born fierce general. Such talent is better suited for charging into battlefields than guarding the sect gate. Seeing it this way, it is somewhat a waste of great talent on a small task. It would be better to report to the Elder Council, apply for a transfer order, and place him under my command..."

In merely an instant, Jiang Shan had decided on the first great general under his command.

Immediately after, Jiang Han strove to recall all the information obtained from the Cangwu Token.

"That kid Xuanji has martial talent so strong it is rarely seen in the world. When he served under me, I detected a hidden aura of ruthlessness within him; his fate governs killing and conquest, resembling mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"Now that he has left the merchant guild and taken up the post of Vice City Lord in the Purple Profound Grotto-Heaven for several months, having undergone much tempering, his abilities surpass even the past. Furthermore, he has mastered both Knife Intent and Fist Intent, two major intents; he primarily cultivates the path of body refinement and secondarily cultivates the path of primal qi, making his attainment in physical body one of the few within the clan."

"Not only is his cultivation base high, but his handling of affairs is also extremely seasoned; privately, he has even read many military treatises, so his understanding of the art of war must be profoundly deep."

"This is the talent of a commander leading troops; how can he be cooped up inside the Purple Profound Grotto-Heaven, bound by trivial matters?"

"But to apply for a transfer order and bring him under my command, I must first pass the Guardian."

"Rumor has it that the Guardian spends most of his time in closed-door cultivation, leaving all affairs to that kid Xuanji. If I want to take him away, the Guardian will likely be the first to disagree. Seeing it this way, I must carefully devise a foolproof plan..."

Jiang Shan rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat headache-inducing.

It must be known that Jiang Ming, the Guardian of Purple Profound, is one of the Eight Heroes of Cangwu.

Not only is his cultivation base profound, but his combat power is also extremely formidable; his mastery of the Spear Marquis realm is such that few in the clan can oppose him.

Furthermore, because he shelters many clansmen who come to the Purple Profound Grotto-Heaven for tempering,

his prestige among the younger generation is second only to "Jiang Chen," who stands as the head of the Eight Heroes of Cangwu!

The difficulty of trying to demand a person from him cannot be considered small.

Jiang Shan shook his head and temporarily set aside this matter.

He sat back down in the armchair and once again fell into deep thought.

"Honored Guest Nangong possesses a cultivation base at the ninth level of the Myriad Phenomena Realm; he can temporarily serve as the Supreme General in the army to stabilize morale and restrain the experts of the Qin and Qian countries..."

"Honored Guest Jiang Xingjian awakened the Golden Spirit Body not long ago and successfully reached the realm of Sword Marquis; his swordsmanship is unmatched in killing, capable of taking an enemy general's head amidst ten thousand armies. I happen to have heard that he recently plans to leave Cangwu Mountain to travel abroad; it would be better to bring him into our army to clash with the experts of the two countries, thereby tempering his sword heart and enriching his own foundation..."

"Ding Xuan, the Prefect of Tiandou Prefecture Prefecture, has extensive connections within the imperial court and often shares drinks and joyful conversations with the prefects of several surrounding prefectures, forming inseparable friendships."

"This person shares a deep friendship with our clan and is the adopted son of many clansmen; not long ago, his son, Nangong Yanzhi, even caught the eye of a junior in our clan, and just yesterday, they officially married, tying the knot."

"Since this is the case, before raising our army, we can inform him in advance and have him secretly contact the other prefects to change their allegiance. On the day I formally raise the army, these prefects can respond to the call. In this way, I can effortlessly bring the lands of several surrounding prefectures entirely into my possession..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Shan's gaze grew increasingly bright.

The route for future advancement also became unprecedentedly clear at this moment.

Then, he stood up, took out the Cangwu Token, and prepared to carry out his plans one by one according to his thoughts.

With this action,

the Cangwu Merchant Guild, which had lain dormant for months and completed its primitive accumulation, began to operate crazily at a speed never seen before!

At the same time,

on the other side,

inside a certain pavilion,

a white-haired youth dressed in black robes sat on a chair.

He raised his right hand, propping up his cheek.

His eyes flickered, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He was precisely the current Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

He was also the Demon Lord, the number one figure in the demonic path of the Great Qin today.

Jiang Han!

After the accumulation of these recent days, he has now broken through to the seventh level of the Sun Wheel Realm!

His cultivation base is so high that it already surpasses all others in the young generation of the Jiang family!

However, because he deliberately hid himself, his reputation within the clan is not prominent.

Even many clansmen have never heard the name of Jiang Han.

Regarding all this, Jiang Han did not care, his heart showing not the slightest fluctuation.

After all, from the moment he made his vow before the Clan Leader back then, he had already prepared himself to endure all loneliness.

Suddenly, a muffled sound of footsteps approached.

Jiang Han gathered his thoughts, slightly raised his head, and glanced toward the distance.

He saw an old man wearing a blood-red robe walking toward him.

This person was the Old Ancestor of the Soul Refining Sect, possessing a cultivation base at the seventh level of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, truly an undisputed giant figure in the demonic path of the Great Qin.

With so many methods and such strong combat power, even he himself had spent considerable effort to defeat and subdue him.

Now serving as an Elder of the Demon Alliance, along with three other Old Ancestor-level figures, they are jointly praised by the outside world as the "Four Sages of the Demon Alliance"!

Of course, this 'Sage' is not that 'Sage'.

But this still shows how much the world fears them.

As for the Demon Alliance...

Because too many factions were recruited, for ease of management, the Alliance was established, merging all factions within it.

Although it is called the Alliance.

In reality, it remains Jiang Han's one-man domain.

The Demon Lord's command outweighs everything!

All cultivators of the Alliance are the Demon Lord's hounds!

At this moment, under Jiang Han's gaze.

Soul-Refining Ancestor stopped before him, his face respectful, cupping his hands as he said: "Reporting to my lord, the Demon Lord — through our unremitting efforts, we have finally brought almost all the demonic factions within Great Qin's borders under our control…"

Not the slightest hint of joy appeared on Jiang Han's face.

He raised an eyebrow and said coldly: "Almost?"

During this period, he had single-handedly forced all the top demonic sects into submission by his own power.
