Chapter 1379: Target: Monopoly Mountain Range (Second update, requesting everything)

The Xuan Emperor glanced at the few people expressionlessly, and then her figure vanished; even if the Tuidi's reputation was foul, he was ultimately an Emperor, and that was a fact.

Therefore, the Xuan Emperor did not say much more; after all, the greater the pressure on the Tuidi, the more he would rely on her.

If he wanted to avoid following the path of the Aidi, the Tuidi had to prioritize the Xuan Emperor's will, which was almost his only way forward.

The Xuan Emperor's figure disappeared; for the current plan, she had to strengthen the Tuidi's power as quickly as possible, at least so he would not be as vulnerable as the Aidi.

The best method she could think of was to have the Tuidi forcibly terminate the contracts of any Spirit Beasts that had not yet reached the Demon Emperor Level, and then have the Tuidi contract wild Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts.

As long as the Tuidi possessed only Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets, his strength would surely increase greatly in a short time.

Of course, the aftereffects of doing this were also obvious; the Tuidi's potential would inevitably drop significantly, but for the Tuidi, between the two choices of potential and life, life was naturally more important.

After the Xuan Emperor and the Tuidi left, Li Zhangsheng immediately exchanged words with the Blood Emperor and the Thunder Emperor to discuss the matter of forming an alliance.

The Thunder Emperor was somewhat moved, but in the end, he still maintained the air of deferring to the Blood Emperor, letting the Blood Emperor hold the initiative.

As one of the Three Sovereigns, the Blood Emperor was naturally not someone easy to deal with; he remained completely noncommittal, neither agreeing nor refusing.

In the Blood Emperor's view, his side held the initiative, and the reason was simple: he had not fallen out with any faction, giving people a feeling of being detached from worldly affairs, which also became the reason why the other three factions vied to win him over.

Li Zhangsheng was also helpless; he had a serious falling out with the Human Emperor and the Xuan Emperor, and in the face of huge benefits, these two fellows could unite at any time; he had to nip the danger in the bud and prevent it before it happened, preferably by winning over another faction.

Judging from the Blood Emperor's rhetoric, the other party had no inclination for the time being, but there was no guarantee which side they might lean toward one day; everything was still based on interests.

But one thing was certain: no matter which side the Blood Emperor leaned toward, it would surely be a crushing force on the surface, and this had to be guarded against.

Seeing the Blood Emperor prevaricate, Li Zhangsheng's thoughts raced, and he began to consider other methods.

To put it broadly, it was nothing more than the two methods of strengthening oneself or borrowing the power of other factions.

Strategically, it was naturally best to focus on vertical and horizontal alliances.

Besides the human race, the factions with the greatest power were the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans; currently, the North Sea Dragon King had already formed an alliance, there was still no news from the Phoenix Clan, and there was no way to approach the Qilin Clan at all.

Outside of the three clans, there were many other second-tier major factions, similar to the previous Beiming Kunpeng, mainly consisting of powerful Emperor Rank Spirit Beasts, but just like the Qilin Clan, there was simply no way to approach them.

In terms of strengthening oneself, besides winning over more idle Kings and Double-Character Kings, one also had to further restore the strength of Wendi and Wudi.

Following the battle at Beiming, the strength of Wendi and Wudi had already been more than half restored; they could probably fully recover after taking down one more faction similar to Beiming.

Among the choices, Li Zhangsheng naturally leaned toward the Monopoly Mountain Range.

How could one allow others to snore beside one's bed? Moreover, other factions might not necessarily refuse to cooperate with the Monopoly Mountain Range to cause him trouble.

Li Zhangsheng continued to win over idle Kings and Double-Character Kings; although they could not help much at this level, they would definitely be of great use when it came time to obtain the Star Emperor Inheritance and set up the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array.

Only when 365 Kings and Double-Character Kings held the Star Banner to jointly set up the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array could the full power of this large-scale top-tier Forbidden Array be unleashed.

However, there were not many idle Stronger individuals after all; those who were truly interested had already been won over by Li Zhangsheng last time, and this time, even with the prestige of Li Zhangsheng having beheaded the Emperor Rank Kunpeng, there were very few who responded, which could only be described as better than nothing.

Soon, the other Emperors and Emperor Rank individuals withdrew their consciousnesses one after another.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng looked at the Qingmu King, Luo Yuanjun, who had not yet left, and began to communicate through consciousness.

"Brother Luo, how have you been lately?"

"Not bad."

Luo Yuanjun's expression did not change; it seemed he was indeed doing quite well.

However, Li Zhangsheng believed that the Human Emperor did not trust him, because the Human Emperor had not let Luo Yuanjun become a Commander of the Human Emperor Mansion, and the number of Luo Yuanjun's Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets had not increased, remaining at only four.

Additionally, Li Zhangsheng heard that the Human Emperor was secretly winning over top-tier Double-Character Kings from other factions recently.

Clearly, the Human Emperor did not trust Luo Yuanjun.

"Brother Luo, as long as you can join us, we will definitely do our best to fight for an Emperor position for you, how about it?"

"I once swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao to be loyal to His Majesty the Human Emperor..."

Seeing that it was effective, Li Zhangsheng's mind immediately became active.

As for why he spent so much effort inviting Luo Yuanjun, it was mainly because Li Zhangsheng had not yet met the requirements to become an Emperor; once an Emperor position became vacant again, rather than letting other factions benefit, it would be better for his own side to occupy it, which would greatly increase his side's strength and prevent him from watching other factions become even more powerful.

Among the three, only Wudi had a top-tier Double-Character King under his command, but as the alliance leader, Li Zhangsheng naturally hoped to occupy the dominant position to avoid an imbalance of power.

Li Zhangsheng and Luo Yuanjun knew each other quite well, which was why he was the best candidate.

"As long as you can come, you don't need to consider this aspect; we have our own methods to deal with the backlash of the Heavenly Dao. Besides, I have also prepared a great gift for you."

"Give me three days to consider!"

Luo Yuanjun was somewhat moved; although the current situation was chaotic, since the Human Emperor no longer trusted him, he naturally had no intention of hanging himself from a single tree, not to mention that Luo Yuanjun, who prided himself on being righteous, was very disgusted by the Human Emperor's recent actions.

Besides this, it was impossible for Li Zhangsheng to shoot without a target, which also made Luo Yuanjun full of interest; no matter how one looked at it, defecting to Li Zhangsheng was more advantageous for him, and perhaps one day he would have the chance to become an Emperor.

Even if he ended up like the Tuidi without his own territory, an Emperor was still an Emperor, and great power belonged to oneself; this point would not change, and there was no rule saying one could not seize territory.

Li Zhangsheng did not stay long in the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings; as the Dark Moon King became the Tuidi, he also had to make some responses, starting with clearing away his worries.

One, resolve the major factions within or on the borders of the three's territories, such as the Monopoly Mountain Range, the Wanxiang Pendi, etc., and even the East Sea Dragon Clan could be included in this scope.

Two, clear out the Demon Monarchs within the three's territories.

After his consciousness returned to his physical body, Li Zhangsheng contacted Wendi and Wudi and told them his thoughts.

Without surprise, Wendi and Wudi chose to agree; after all, this was also a good thing for them.

After discussion, the three did not choose to make a big scene, otherwise it would be easy to be targeted by other human factions, avoiding the possibility of being caught in a pincer attack; in the end, the first target was locked onto the Monopoly Mountain Range.

The Monopoly Mountain Range had a total of five Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets, and perhaps there were even Demon Saint Level Divine Beasts; Wendi and Wudi could contract three more Demon Pets in total, and only when the two recovered their strength could they better cope with the increasingly chaotic situation.

Additionally, whether Adai could take a step further depended on this move.
