Chapter 216

So.

So long as a martial artist's natural talent is not altered.

The end result will still be the strong stay strong, the weak stay weak!

As for the newly added Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking.

He had not the slightest interest in it.

It was rather the grotto-heavens and blessed lands.

That piqued his interest somewhat.

One must know.

Every grotto-heaven and blessed land is different.

Otherwise, they would not have been ranked into the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.

However, one thing can be certain.

Those ownerless grotto-heavens or blessed lands.

Within them will be countless heaven-sent treasures!

Even divine weapons and sharp instruments, cultivation arts and pills!

If one could find them.

It would absolutely elevate the Great Yuan's foundation!

At this thought.

Tie Muzhen's smile faded as he spoke lightly, issuing orders.

"Convey this Khan's command."

"Send men to Yunzhou. This Khan wants to know every piece of information about Yunzhou!"

"Additionally, send men to secretly search for grotto-heavens and blessed lands throughout the Nine Provinces. If there is news, be sure to report back at the first moment!"

Although he had already set his heart on claiming the Nine Provinces.

He understood deeply that a lion fighting a rabbit still gives its all!

Let alone a great province like Yunzhou that had vanished for who knows how many years!

If the intelligence were not understood comprehensively.

If something went wrong when subjugating it in the future, wouldn't there be nowhere to cry?!

"We humbly obey the Khan's command!"

From a dark corner.

A cold voice, carrying not a shred of emotion, suddenly rang out.

Great Tang, Fengxuan Pavilion.

"Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking?"

"I wonder if the rewards include something like a Beauty-Preserving Pill?"

Gently stroking her cheek.

Wu Zetian murmured to herself.

Her eyes brimmed with a look of anticipation.

Although she was an emperor, and moreover the sole empress.

The first thing she ought to focus on was not this.

But there was no help for it.

Loving beauty is a woman's nature.

Even someone as powerful as her could not escape this rule!

Of course.

As one in a position of authority.

She could still control the fluctuations of her mood quite well.

Narrowing her phoenix eyes, she took two deep breaths.

Calming her emotions.

Wu Zetian deliberated for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Send men to Yunzhou to gather information."

"If you encounter any top experts or the like, remember to recruit them, and send word back as well."

"Also, grotto-heavens and blessed lands are of great importance. Send more hands to various places throughout the Nine Provinces!"

"This Palace does not wish to end up making a wedding dress for someone else!"

Her voice was very soft.

But to Shangguan Waner's ears, it weighed heavier than a thousand jin.

Knowing well the importance of the matter.

Shangguan Waner curtsied gracefully with an utterly serious expression and replied.

"Yes! This minister will see to it at once!"

Having said this.

She rose and hurriedly withdrew.

At the same time.

Just as the three great imperial courts each made their corresponding moves.

Yunzhou, Heaven's Assembly Headquarters.

He stared blankly at the Heavenly Dao Golden List hanging in the void.

In Xiong Ba's eyes, besides shock, there was also a thick, undisguised ambition!

What shocked him was—

Even the legendary Heavenly Dao had actually appeared!

And it had even arranged two lists!

How could he, who had always believed in fate, not be thrilled?!

As for ambition—

From the fact that his gang was called "Tianxia Hui" (World Society), one could already see a glimpse!

Before—

He had only wanted to control Yunzhou and become the supreme existence!

But now—

Upon discovering that Yunzhou was only a part of the Nine Provinces—

And that there were eight other provinces—

His ambition inevitably swelled!

Moreover—

With the prophecy of the Mud Bodhisattva—

And the appearance of the Heavenly Dao—

He firmly believed—

That he was the chosen one of destiny!

Otherwise—

The eight other provinces would not have appeared precisely when Tianxia Hui was about to control Yunzhou!

The eight other provinces would not have appeared!

Thinking of this—

Xiong Ba suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Chouchou, Susu, immediately dispatch people to the other eight provinces to gather information on Bazhou!"

"Wherever Tianxia Hui passes, all shall submit!!"

As he spoke—

Every word was brimming with arrogance and wild conceit!
