Half a month later, on the top of a mountain in Yunzhou, a group of soldiers wearing battle armor were standing at this moment, surrounded by a middle-aged man wearing a Dayan official robe.
They seemed to have traveled a long way and were resting.
The man in the official robe sat at a cleaned stone table, drinking tea, and said proudly: "Tell me, what's the situation now?"
"Lord Qizhenhui, in Yunzhou, the Qingshen Sect is growing rapidly, constantly encroaching on the land controlled by the Corpse God Sect, and the Corpse God Sect is retreating steadily, as if it can't stop the Qingshen Sect's footsteps at all, but the Dayan officials of Yunzhou are also rising to seize the city." A young general said.
"Oh?" Master Megumi asked while drinking tea.
"After Gao Yuan's disappearance, the highest military power in Yunzhou, as the Grand Governor of the Four Directions, they are all raising troops to seize the city, among them, the southern governor of Yunzhou sent the most rapid troops, and in just one month, he has already taken several cities." The young general said.
"Yunzhou South Grand Governor? I remember, it's called Han Palace, right?" Master Megumi said.
"Yes, it is Han Gong, he is a disciple of the elder Hong Zhan of the Pingnan Sect, he was named by Gao Yuan in the past, and he was the governor of Yunzhou South, he has the support of the Pingnan Sect, and now, Lu Xiao of the Pingnan Sect is fighting for him in various cities, Lu Xiao is strong, invincible and invincible, and has broken many cities in a row." The young general said.
"Han Palace? Lu Xiao? Are you willing to listen to my orders?" Master Hui asked in a deep voice.
"A month ago, the appointment letter of you to take office as the governor of Yunzhou has been conveyed to the major cities of Yunzhou, except for the cities controlled by the Corpse God Sect and the Qingshen Sect, all other cities have recognized this appointment letter, and I am willing to listen to your order." The young general said.
"That's good. Gao Yuan is too incompetent after all, after guarding for so long, he has kept such a result, and it still depends on me." Master Hui smiled proudly.
"My lord, the situation in Yunzhou is very tense." The young general was worried.
"That's Gao Yuan is too stupid to use troops." Master Hui sneered.
"What do you mean?" The young general was puzzled.
"Let Han Gong and Lu Xiao die, isn't it enough?" Master Hui took a sip of tea and said with a wise expression.
"My subordinates don't understand." The young general was puzzled.
"Let Han Gong, Lu Xiao, and other sect powerhouses go to the most dangerous places to fight, and if they win, they will attack the city for us. It's better to die, we can go to the sect behind them to fan the flames, lead the brothers and elders of the sect behind them down the mountain, and continue to work for us. The small one dies, and the old one is attracted. It won't be long before we can recapture Yunzhou." Master Megumi said.
"What do you mean is that you want to use the lives of Han Gong, Lu Xiao and others to die together with the Qingshen Sect and the Corpse God Sect, and then trick the people of the sect behind them into going down the mountain to take revenge?" The young general asked.
"Not bad!" Master Megumi said.
"My lord is far-sighted and has no omissions, I admire him!" The young general said.
"Wait, it won't be long before I can quell the Yunzhou Rebellion." Hui Da passed through himself.
"I will do my best to assist my lord and send the strong men of each sect to fight to the death." The young general smiled.
"Hahahahaha!" Master Hui laughed.
At this moment, several black clouds rose into the sky in the surrounding mountains and forests, heading straight for them, causing everyone's faces to change.
"Is it the zombie king? Oh no, there was an ambush." The young general exclaimed.
Master Hui's face changed, and he exclaimed: "Quick, protect me!"
Shout! Zombie kings flew in the black air, their faces were full of ferocity and murderous intent, and they instantly arrived in front of them.
"Kill!" The soldiers roared.
Rumble! The sword slashed on the zombie king, but it didn't have much effect, and in the blink of an eye, the soldiers rushing in front were torn apart by the zombie kings.
There was a general of the Immortal Fetus Realm who escorted Master Hui to escape.
However, there seemed to be a large number of zombie kings staring at them, not giving them a chance to escape at all. For a while, the zombies in the sky pressed on the two of them.
In the rumble, Master Hui and the Immortal Fetus Realm general were seriously injured.
The zombie kings were reluctant to give up, and their movements became more and more rapid, and they were beaten so hard that they vomited blood. Under heavy blows again and again, the dantian of the two was blasted.
The two vomited blood and fell to the ground, about to die under the claws of the zombie kings.
"No, how can I die here? Help!" Master Megumi cried out in horror.
At this time, a golden light shot out, and a broken shout came: "The corpse god teaches the thieves, don't be arrogant, take my halberd!"
Rumble! Fang Tian drew a halberd and slashed down, beheading several zombie kings and retreating.
"It's Lu Xiao, let's go!" There was an exclamation in the distance.
Shout! The zombie kings soared into the sky and fled into the distance.
Lu Xiao held the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, standing in front of Lord Hui, and did not chase after him, as if he was guarding Lord Hui.
"Saved." Master Hui showed ecstasy.
At this time, a group of people flew in the distance, the leader was Han Gong.
"Lord Hui, I am late, and I hope you will forgive me." Han Gong said eagerly.
He stepped forward and hurriedly helped Master Hui, who had been abolished from cultivation.
"Yunzhou South Grand Governor, Han Palace? You, why are you here?" Lord Hui said with lingering fears on his face for the rest of his life.
"Lord Hui, you didn't inform me before you came, I finally learned that you came to take office as the governor of Yunzhou." Han Gong said.
"My cultivation has been broken, hurry up, you escort me back to the capital." Master Hui said eagerly.
"My lord is here to take office as the governor of Yunzhou, what are you doing when you return to the court?" Han Gong said.
"I said to escort me back to the capital, just go back to the capital, do you want to disobey?" Lord Hui angrily reprimanded.
Han Gong smiled slightly and said: "Lord Hui, I think you should continue to serve as the governor of Yunzhou."
"What do you want to do?" Master Hui said angrily.
Han Gong smiled and said: "I have prepared the place where Master Hui will stay, Master Hui will go to Tianhai City with me."
"Tianhai City? Even if you become the governor of Yunzhou, shouldn't you send me to Huoyun City?" Master Hui seemed to realize something.
"I feel that Huoyun City is no longer suitable as the capital of Yunzhou Prefecture, the location of Tianhai City is better, where I have prepared everything for you." Han Gong smiled.
Lord Hui looked at the Han Palace, looked at Lu Xiao, and then at the fleeing zombie kings, his pupils shrank and said, "You arranged the group of zombie kings just now?"
"Master Hui, don't talk nonsense. On your way to take office as the governor of Yunzhou, you were besieged and killed by the Corpse God Sect, and it was General Lu and I who came to rescue you for great merit. Now, you think the situation in Yunzhou is dangerous and needs our protection, please!" Han Gong said with an indifferent expression.
Master Hui stared at Han Gong with wide eyes. At this moment, he found that the situation was completely different from what he thought, and he was hijacked by Han Palace.
"It's useless for you to kill me, the court will send a new Yunzhou Governor." Master Hui said in horror.
"I said, I am protecting you and will not kill you, Yunzhou Mu, please!" Han Gong said.
A group of subordinates quickly stepped forward and set up Master Hui, not giving him a chance to resist at all.
There was a special person to clean up, and a group of people took Master Hui to Tianhai City.
On the way, Lu Xiao asked Han Gong suspiciously: "You showed me the information, this Lord Hui has killed many good people by any means in order to be an official, and his subordinates are a group of fierce dogs who do all kinds of evil, why don't you kill him?"
"This is called 'holding the governor of the state to command the cities', or 'serving the governor of the state to punish the disobedient'." Han Gong explained.
"Oh?" Lu Xiao was puzzled.
"Next, the Yunzhou Pastoral Association will issue many orders to the city lords of Yunzhou, and those who dare not respect will trouble you to subdue them." Han Gong explained.
Lu Xiao's expression tightened, and he understood what Han Gong meant.
Hong Zhan trusted him extremely much and did not avoid some things from him, so that he could understand that Han Gong was in the Ming Dynasty and was cleaning up the Great Yan City of Yunzhou. Jia Feng was in the dark, cleaning up the city controlled by the Yunzhou Corpse God Sect.
Although it takes a lot of time to operate, it won't be long before the entire Yunzhou will be controlled by Hong Zhan.
He used to feel that it was extremely difficult to open up the territory, with swords and blood shadows, mountains of corpses and seas of blood. But now I realized that it can be so easy to open up territory.
He suddenly remembered that when he first came out of the Pingnan Sect, Hong Zhan said, "It's just a few Taoist temples, it doesn't matter." At that time, he was still surprised that Hong Zhan had a lot of tone, but now he understood that Hong Zhan was humble, and Hong Zhan wanted to control the entire Yunzhou.
-----
Tianhai City, the city lord's mansion, in a large hall.
Hong Zhan was cultivating in meditation, and with a bang, a red air wave swept across the entire hall, causing the temperature of the hall to skyrocket countless times in an instant.
"It's been almost a year, and I've finally reached the middle stage of the Soul Sea." Hong Zhan exhaled lightly and said with satisfaction.
He closed his eyes and felt the space between his eyebrows, his soul power was already like a blood-colored lake, churning and exuding a rolling heat.
All the sinful karma of the underworld of Ten Thousand Demon Island was refined by him and turned into this huge lake of soul power. However, there was still a lot of sin karma available on him, which was the sin karma that Lu Qi gave him after devouring a large number of corpse insects, and the amount was also extremely huge.
At this moment, a golden light penetrated the hall and went straight into his body, and with a buzz, he was shocked all over.
"Merit?" Hong Zhan opened his eyes and said in surprise.
Where does the merit come from? There are a lot of them.
He got up and walked out of the hall to inquire, but saw Qianqian standing outside the hall with a happy face.
"Hong Zhan, merit just entered my body." Qianqian said in surprise.
Hong Zhan was slightly startled and said: "I also received a merit."
"We all have it? It must have been given by Master, she knew that we had recaptured the body of the master, and this was a reward for us." Qianqian said excitedly.
"Really?" Hong Zhan said with a strange expression.
"Definitely yes. Since Master has given us merit, he will not blame us for the 'Letter to the World' we issued." Qianqian smiled.
Hong Zhan nodded.
At this moment, Qianqian's face changed, and with a bang, a red flame appeared all over her body.
"What's wrong with you?" Hong Zhan asked hurriedly.
"My cultivation is about to break through." Qianqian showed a hint of panic and said.
"This is a good thing, do you need any elixirs?" Hong Zhan asked.
Qianqian shook her head and said: "No need, I can enter the temple for a few days of retreat."
"I'll give you the Dharma protector." Hong Zhan said.
Qianqian nodded, hurriedly stepped into the hall, and closed the door.
In the hall, Qianqian said to herself with an irritable expression: "Damn it, why is it early this time? Once my cultivation starts to break through, the day when I will change back will not be far away."
