Chapter 363: New Pattern of the Nine Nations: The Destruction of Zheng Guo

Daliang, Lingxiao City.

Lingxiao City Lord's Mansion.

Today, the martial artists of Lingxiao City saw several powerful auras streak across the sky and land in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Innate martial artists!"

The martial artists walking on the street in Lingxiao City felt no fear. Although the auras of these Innate martial artists were powerful and astonishing as they swept across the sky, they did not cause them any harm.

"I remember not long ago, those Innate martial artists arrived at the imperial capital of our Ze Guo, not concealing their powerful auras at all. Many martial artists in the city were enveloped by these auras, and those with weaker strength died on the spot."

A martial artist from Ze Guo had a trace of hatred in his eyes, then looked at the Daliang martial artists beside him, envy flowing in the depths of his eyes.

Now, even these Innate martial artists did not dare to act wantonly within Daliang's borders and had to restrain their own auras.

And all of this was because Daliang had produced a Lin Chen.

"If only Ze Guo could directly merge into Daliang's territory."

This was the thought of the Ze Guo martial artist, and also the common thought of martial artists from other countries at this moment.

With the existence of these sects from the Yan Imperial Dynasty, their countries existed in name only. Since that was the case, it would be better to merge into Liang Guo. At least by merging into Liang Guo, they could receive protection.

The martial artists of Daliang had heard such words many times these days, but they did not pat their chests and say this was a good idea.

Who wouldn't like to expand their territory? But the timing was not right. Daliang's current stability relied more on the Canglan Sect behind Lin Chen. If they took this opportunity to annex other countries, would it leave a bad impression on the Canglan Sect, making them feel that Daliang was too greedy, and even affect Lin Chen?

Now, in the hearts of all Daliang martial artists, nothing was more important than Lin Chen. As long as there was something that would affect Lin Chen, even if there was only a sliver of possibility, Daliang martial artists would not do it.

"I hope this time, Daliang can also strive for some rights for us martial artists from other countries."

This time, the Innate martial artists of the Upper Sect Alliance came to Lingxiao City, and Daliang had already announced it long ago: it was to discuss the Martial Way affairs of the entire Nine Nations.

"Rest assured, those adults in Daliang's imperial court are not the kind of petty people who only care about themselves. Since this discussion was actively proposed by the Upper Sect Alliance, they will definitely strive for some rights for other countries as well, except for a certain small country."

"Hmm, Daliang has been acting very fairly for the past three hundred years, which also makes us convinced."

Regardless of whether they really thought so in their hearts, now these martial artists from other countries could only pin their hopes on Daliang.

At the same time, they also knew who the "certain small country" in the mouths of Daliang martial artists referred to.

Zheng Guo!

Daliang and Zheng Guo had a blood feud. It was reasonable for Daliang not to help Zheng Guo. Even if Daliang took this opportunity to destroy Zheng Guo, other countries would find it very normal.

Thinking of Zheng Guo, other countries thought of the San Dao of Nansha. It was feared that the people of the San Dao of Nansha were now regretting it so much that their intestines were turning green.

Daliang and Han Guo went to war, and the San Dao of Nansha chose to backstab Daliang, disturbing the Lihuo. Unfortunately, they harmed others and ended up harming themselves. In the end, the Lihuo burned to the homeland of the San Dao of Nansha.

The powerful martial artists of the San Dao of Nansha moved their entire clan to Han Guo, originally hoping to change the predicament of scarce Martial Way resources on the San Dao of Nansha by using Han Guo's territory. They didn't expect that Han Guo would recognize the Jiuque Sect as the Upper Sect in the blink of an eye, and all major affairs in the country would be under the jurisdiction of the Jiuque Sect.

On the contrary, Daliang was now treated politely even by the Jiuque Sect. If the San Dao of Nansha hadn't chosen to betray Daliang in the first place, based on the historical affiliation between the San Dao of Nansha and Daliang for nearly a thousand years, as long as the San Dao of Nansha said a word about returning to Daliang, Daliang would definitely choose to take them back.

Main Hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

On Daliang's side, it was still Kong Qifeng and the Left and Right Prime Ministers, while all ten Innate martial artists of the Upper Sect Alliance were present.

"Daliang's conditions are too harsh. Our promise not to interfere in Daliang's internal affairs is already giving you enough face."

An Innate expert listened to the conditions proposed by Kong Qifeng, and his face suddenly turned cold.

Kong Qifeng's expression remained unchanged. The fact that the Upper Sect Alliance actively sought out Daliang already showed that the guilty party was the other side.

"Daliang and other countries have existed here for thousands of years, and even if their bones are broken, their tendons are still connected. How can they be completely cut off? Take Zhao Guo as an example. Many martial artists in Daliang have intermarriages with Zhao Guo. If the in-laws of these martial artists are persecuted, what should be done?"

"You can let the martial artists who have relationships with your Daliang move into Daliang. We will definitely not stop them."

Hearing this, the Left Prime Minister suddenly smiled: "If so, Daliang's population would probably increase several times. Based on Daliang's current territory, it cannot support so many martial artists."

"Furthermore, in the past, the Martial Way resources of various countries were traded with each other to ensure that martial artists of all countries could have the resources they wanted. Now that you have taken control of other countries, how should we obtain the Martial Way resources that Daliang does not have?"

"How you traded between your countries in the past, then continue to do so. We will not block trade with your Daliang."

These Innate experts of the Upper Sect Alliance did not want to accept Daliang's proposal at all. According to Daliang's proposal, besides occupying the places with Innate energy in each country, they would not interfere in the specific affairs of each country, and even had to cultivate martial artists of each country.

The negotiation reached a stalemate.

"This seat actually thinks this proposal is quite good. If we want to operate here for a long time, we cannot treat this place as a place of plunder, leaving after plundering the resources."

Yin Bowen, an Innate expert from the Blue Moon Valley, spoke up. As soon as these words came out, all the other Innate experts looked at him with angry faces.

Yin Bowen didn't care about their gazes at all. After entering this island, Blue Moon Valley occupied the territory of Yan Guo.

Although Yan Guo's territory was small, Yin Bowen didn't care. Territory could be developed later, but what made him depressed was the rumor that the Sixth Princess of the Yan Imperial family had an unusual relationship with Lin Chen.

After learning of this rumor, he conducted an investigation for the first time, and the final conclusion was that it was more than just unusual. It was highly likely that there was a romantic relationship between Murong Yan, the Sixth Princess of the Yan Imperial family, and Lin Chen. Murong Yan had once expressed her feelings for Lin Chen in front of many people.

Although Lin Chen hadn't responded, it was said that the Sixth Princess of Yan had a beauty that could topple countries. Any man, facing the admiration of a girl with such beauty, even if he didn't accept it, would definitely not be disgusted by this Sixth Princess.

Facing an ugly admirer, a man would be a bit annoyed, but facing the admiration of a beauty, he would always soften a bit.

If this Sixth Princess of Yan begged Lin Chen, he couldn't guarantee that Lin Chen wouldn't be dissatisfied with their Blue Moon Valley.

Therefore, long before coming to Lingxiao City, he had already reached an agreement with the Yan Imperial family. Blue Moon Valley would sit in Yan Guo and become the protector sect of Yan Guo. Everything in Yan Guo would still be controlled by the Yan Imperial family. Blue Moon Valley would only occupy the place with Innate energy in Yan Guo and would also help cultivate talented young people of the Yan Imperial family.

Now, the suggestion proposed by Daliang was completely within the range he could accept.

"Everyone, don't look at me like this. Let me say something unpleasant. We established the Upper Sect Alliance to resist the sects that will step onto this land later, but who can stop the Canglan Sect?"

Yin Bowen used the unique sound transmission of Innate martial artists, and his voice entered the ears of several Innate martial artists present.

"The Canglan Sect won't look down on this small island. We also follow the words of the Canglan Sect Elder and do not interfere with Daliang, where Lin Chen is." An Innate martial artist responded via sound transmission as well.

"The Canglan Sect naturally doesn't look down on this place, but if other sects come, understand the situation here, contact Liang Guo, and are willing to accept the conditions offered by Liang Guo, at that time, as long as Lin Chen says a few words in front of the Canglan Sect, the Canglan Sect will make us leave this place. Do you think you still dare to linger here and not leave?"

Yin Bowen's voice carried sarcasm: "Everyone, we have no initiative at all now. By being on good terms with Liang Guo, being on good terms with Lin Chen, and making Lin Chen feel that our staying here is beneficial to Liang Guo and the martial artists here, even if a sect more powerful than us appears, as long as Lin Chen and Liang Guo recognize us, we can stay here for a long time."

Hearing Yin Bowen's words, the Innate martial artists present fell into deep thought.

They actually understood the logic, but the dignity of being Innate martial artists made them not want to think in that direction.

"Since this place can produce a Lin Chen, including that Pei Qingming, who dares to guarantee that there won't be a next genius? Perhaps if we dig well, we might really be able to discover some Martial Way geniuses. Even if they aren't as good as Lin Chen and Pei Qingming, as long as they have a few percent of those two, for our sects, they are also rare disciples."

Yin Bowen's last sentence moved these Innate martial artists.

"I don't care how you choose. I not only accept Liang Guo's conditions, but I also want to form an alliance with Liang Guo."

This was Yin Bowen's last sound transmission. After speaking, he smiled and looked at the three people of Kong Qifeng: "My Blue Moon Valley accepts all the conditions offered by Liang Guo and is willing to cultivate talented martial artists of Yan Guo, contributing my Blue Moon Valley's strength to the Martial Way development of this place."

Other Innate martial artists heard Yin Bowen's words, and their faces sank. Yin Bowen didn't want any of the face of an Innate martial artist at all.

"My Galuo Sect has taught Martial Way inheritance in the Nine Nations many years ago. Naturally, I hope that the Martial Way here will be more prosperous. My Galuo Sect also accepts all the conditions offered by Liang Guo."

Before these Innate martial artists could make a decision, the Innate martial artist of the Galuo Sect also agreed immediately.

The remaining Innate martial artists could no longer be reserved and expressed their stance one after another.

One day later.

A piece of news spread throughout the Nine Nations again.

The Upper Sect Alliance, after discussing with Liang Guo, jointly promulgated the "Martial Way Prosperity Book".

The Upper Sect Alliance returned the jurisdiction of each country, did not participate in the affairs of each country, and would recruit Martial Way geniuses into the sect.

The Upper Sect Alliance was dissolved and reorganized into the Martial Way Alliance. The headquarters was established in Daliang, with Daliang serving as the leader of the Martial Way Alliance, each country electing one person to serve as the deputy leader of the Martial Way Alliance, and the Innate martial artists of the Upper Sect Alliance serving as Elders of the Martial Way Alliance.

The purpose of the Martial Way Alliance was to promote the development of the Martial Way on this island.

As soon as the "Martial Way Prosperity Book" came out, martial artists from all countries rejoiced.

Only one country was terrified at this moment.

According to the announced structure of the Martial Way Alliance, there were only seven deputy leaders.

Zheng Guo was excluded.

Martial artists from all countries knew clearly who was leading this Martial Way Alliance.

Daliang was going to settle old scores with Zheng Guo.

Many Zheng Guo martial artists in other countries, in addition to panic, also frantically began to attack Liang Guo.

Attacking Liang Guo for saying it wanted to help everyone, but it shouldn't have abandoned their Zheng Guo.

Attacking Liang Guo for taking advantage of the situation and using this opportunity to target their Zheng Guo.

It was a pity that the words of these Zheng Guo martial artists did not get the support of martial artists from other countries. Even fearing Daliang's dissatisfaction, martial artists from all countries didn't wait for Daliang to respond, and they arrested or drove away these Zheng Guo martial artists.

Three days later.

The Emperor of Daliang offered sacrifices to his ancestors.

Daliang's army of one hundred thousand crossed the sea to the east.
