Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 408 Chapter 407: A single move affects the entire body (two chapters in one)

Although he issued an imperial edict to the Shushan Sect of the Tang Dynasty and was regarded as the current leader of Taoism by the Shushan Sect of the Tang Dynasty, Lei Jun had no intention of making decisions on behalf of the other party in many matters.

So after he passed the relevant information to the Shushan Sect of the Tang Dynasty, he did not say much.

After the Xiaoding faction of the Tang Dynasty Shushan Sect learned of the situation, they took it very seriously.

After hearing about the general situation of the Ming Dynasty Shushan Sect from Xu Yuanzhen, Lei Jun had discussed related matters with Zhang Taigang, Ji Chuan and others of the Tang Dynasty Shushan Sect.

At that time, Zhang Taigang and others considered that the Shushan Sect of the Tang Dynasty was recuperating, so they adopted a cold attitude towards the fellow disciples of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, after hearing the latest news, the Shushan Sect of the Tang Dynasty discussed internally and decided to send a high-ranking elder here.

Not to mention anything else, the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot is one of the six founding treasures of the Shushan School. Its significance is different from other magic weapons, and the Shushan lineage of the Tang Dynasty is also paying close attention to it.

It would have been fine if this treasure was still in the hands of the descendants of the Ming Dynasty Shushan School, which has the same origin as the Ming Dynasty, but now it has been confiscated by the Ming court. Zhang Taigang and other Tang Dynasty Shushan disciples found it difficult to remain indifferent after hearing the news.

Finally, Ji Chuan's father, Ji Dongquan, a newly promoted high-level elder with the eighth-level cultivation, came out of seclusion and came to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain to meet Tianshi Lei Jun.

He was already over three hundred years old, and his practice was not as smooth as that of his son Ji Chuan, who was in his golden stage.

But after years of accumulation, and with the surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, he has been practicing in seclusion in recent years, and has finally succeeded in making further progress, breaking through the natural chasm between the seventh and eighth heavens, and reaching the realm of the eighth heaven immortal travel of the Taoist weapon refining school.

The Shushan Sect of the Tang Dynasty has been recuperating in recent years and finally added another eighth-level heaven cultivator.

After listening to Lei Jun's introduction of the latest details, Ji Dongquan contacted Xiaoding, the leader of the Shushan Sect, and then set off eastward toward overseas.

After arriving in Guizang, he paid a visit to Xiao Xueting, who had come here to replace Zhang Hui.

With the arrangement of Xiao Xueting, Ji Dongquan secretly passed through the void portal left by Zhang Hui and Meng Shaojie and arrived at the Ming Dynasty world.

Here, Chu Kun and Xiao Chunhui are there to pick him up.

"The person coming from the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty is called Li Miaozhen, and he is a leader of the younger generation."

When Chu Kun contacted Lei Jun privately, he introduced the situation: "The person he represents has been confirmed to be the new leader of the Ming Shushan Sect, Yuan Qingci."

Lei Jun: “I see.”

Yuan Qingci and Han Qingtao are fellow disciples. Yuan Qingci entered the sect earlier than Han Qingtao, but her cultivation level is lower than Han Qingtao's. Before that, she had been at the perfect level of the eighth heaven.

However, people inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, including Xiao Chunhui, had a high opinion of him.

It is said that Yuan celadon had already achieved the perfect cultivation realm of the Taoist weapon-refining school's eighth heaven and wandering around the world at a very early stage.

He has not been able to take that last step forward. It is hard to say whether it is because of his own inability to do so or because of the overall environment of the Ming Dynasty's monastic community.

On the opposite side, in the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the Zhenwu Temple, the Shushan Sect, or the Buddhist holy land, the Bodhi Temple, there was only one ninth-level heaven cultivator in the same era.

Compared with the earlier monastic circles of the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, it has naturally gained a lot.

But whether in the Taoist circles of the Tang Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, the surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth has only occurred in the last hundred years or so.

The spiritual energy of the world and the human world in the Ming Dynasty has been surging for hundreds of years, and there are many great scholars in the world who follow the nine levels of Confucianism.

In contrast, the current situation of Zhenwu Temple, Bodhi Temple, and Shushan Sect in the Ming Dynasty is not necessarily due to a lack of talented people.

Specifically speaking of the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty, if a great master of the Ninth Heaven Mahayana was to emerge, then Han Qingtao, who was originally from the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, would undoubtedly be in a much better situation than Yuan Qingci.

However, the elders in the Ming Dynasty court ultimately misjudged the issue of Han Qingtao.

Han Qingtao became a traitor and led his people from the Human Dao Kingdom to escape from the mountain gate.

Yuan Qingci, the second person under her to take over the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty, was not in a much better situation.

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at him and the remaining people from the Ming Shushan Sect.

It is no exaggeration to say that the situation is precarious and further disaster may occur at any time.

At this moment, the Ming Dynasty began to mobilize troops to prepare for the northern expedition against foreign races and Buddhist sects in the Western Regions, which gave Yuan Qingci and the Ming Shushan School a rare respite.

"It is still uncertain whether the head of the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty still has the energy to reach the Ninth Heaven Realm. After all, he has been delayed for too long."

Chu Kunyan said: "But even if he is confident enough, he probably still dare not act rashly. There are still many people watching him inside and outside the Ming Dynasty."

Lei Jun: "Although it was the new leader of the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty who wanted to contact the Tang Dynasty, the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty is in a state of uncertainty, and he is still a long way from controlling the entire sect."

Chu Kun: "Master Brother is right. I feel the same way."

Lei Jun: "Elder Ji has already passed away. The relevant matters will be left to the Shushan sect Taoist friends to decide. You just go about your business and don't delay your own business."

Chu Kun: "Brother, rest assured. I know what's going on and will act cautiously. Everything is going well, but it may take a long time. This is something I didn't expect before I came here. I may have failed in my duties in the mansion because of this. I would like to trouble you to bear the responsibility for me."

Lei Jun still didn't ask Chu Kun what he was busy with, and only replied: "I will arrange someone to replace you."

Chu Kun continued, "I have a chance to take advantage of the special terrain and environment of Daming to try to bring about the emergence of a rare treasure called Supreme Blue Crystal. I hope to produce more."

"Taishang Qingjing, this is indeed a good thing." Lei Junyan said.

The relevant treasures have been extinct in the Tang Dynasty for many years.

The last time it appeared was more than 2,000 years ago, when a senior master of the Shushan Sect of the Tang Dynasty used it to practice.

This treasure is rich in spirituality and mysterious. Even the great masters of the Nine Heavens Dao can use it for cultivation. However, it has always been rare. It was rumored that there was only one more than two thousand years ago.

Judging from Chu Kun's tone, he seems confident that he can do more.

"As our senior brother often says, caution is the best approach and safety comes first," Lei Jun said.

Chu Kun agreed: "Brother is right."

.....................

The world of Ming Dynasty.

Capital.

The residence of Zhou Mingzhe, the second assistant of the cabinet.

Zhou Mingzhe has maintained himself well, and looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, elegant and handsome, with only a little graying on his temples.

Xi Zhichang, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was his favorite disciple and was sitting below him at the moment, with a slightly worried look on his face:
"Master Yuanfu has decided to personally go to the northwest to supervise the war. This is not only unwise, but also shows his strong determination."

Deputy Minister Zhou Mingzhe smiled and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since I have promised to lend a helping hand to the Prime Minister, he will naturally have nothing to worry about.

"Conquering the foreign tribes in the north and conquering Mount Xumi in the west are exactly in line with the emperor's wishes, and the Qin faction is completely under the nose of the prime minister."

Xi Zhichang said softly: "Teacher is also optimistic about this battle... can it succeed?"

Deputy Minister Zhou Mingzhe said calmly: "Tianli, Nanjiang, and Donghai Guixu are all quiet for the time being. If the five divisions of Xumi Vajra Realm were complete, the outcome of this battle might be hard to predict. Now at least two of the five are gone. Even if there are some other accidents, our Ming Dynasty can deal with them."

Upon hearing this, Xi Zhichang remained silent.

Zhou Mingzhe glanced at his favorite disciple calmly.

Xi Zhichang's voice became lighter: "It is good to be able to promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty and eliminate the great threat to the northwest, but since Yuan Fu has achieved such a feat, will he be able to move up to a higher level in his pacification of the world..."

The Prime Minister Chen Yu not only represented himself, but was also the leader of the Wu Party.

Zhou Mingzhe also does not just represent himself.

He was the second-ranked minister in the Ming Dynasty's cabinet and also the leader of the Chu Party.

Zhou Mingzhe still looked at Xi Zhichang calmly.

Xi Zhichang looked calm: "This is a national war. Students have no objection. I am just considering whether we should also go directly to the northwest?"

Zhou Mingzhe said calmly, "Just be patient."

Xi Zhichang replied, "It's the student Meng Lang."

Zhou Mingzhe looked up at the hall and said after a long while: "Not only Buddhism, Taoism, or other ways such as martial arts, but also scholars like us have not had a Confucian saint who is above the blue sky and famous for thousands of years for a long time."

After a sigh, he said no more.

But Xi Zhichang already understood what his mentor meant.

The so-called scholars do not actually refer to all Confucian practitioners in general.

Although in fact no one from any lineage of Confucian practitioners had achieved immortality in the thousands of years since the catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, Xi Zhichang knew that Zhou Mingzhe was actually referring to them, the Neo-Confucianists.

Neo-Confucianism has replaced Confucian classics to become the most prominent school of thought in Confucianism, and even the most prominent school of thought in the Ming Dynasty today, covering all corners of the world.

No matter whether it was Chen Yu, Chao Feng, Gao Ming, Zhou Mingzhe, Xi Zhichang, or Liu Chong from the Qin Party and other great Neo-Confucian scholars, even though they had different political views and interests, they all respected the principles of Neo-Confucianism as their guiding principle, firmly believed in them, and adhered to them unswervingly.

However, since its appearance in the early Daliang Dynasty, to the later foreign Daqian Dynasty, and then to the present Ming Dynasty, the Neo-Confucianism and Taoism has never been able to produce a Confucian saint above the nine heavens.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been surging for hundreds of years, but until now, it has not stopped.

Of course, the history of Neo-Confucianism from its birth to the present day is less than two thousand years.

Although it has become the orthodox Confucianism today, in a sense, it is still a nascent Taoist tradition.

Chen Yu, Zhou Mingzhe, Liu Chong and others, as well as Gao Ming, Chao Feng, Xi Zhichang and others, were all great Confucian scholars of the time. While respecting the words of the sages, they also constantly improved their own knowledge.

Keep exploring and trying.

The subsequent expedition to the north by Prime Minister Chen Yu was the realization of his personal ambition and also a test of a path.

Both publicly and privately, as the head of all officials in the Ming Dynasty and the leader of the most powerful Wu Party, he would not allow anyone to sabotage him this time.

The Second Assistant Minister Zhou Mingzhe really has no intention of secretly hindering the First Assistant Minister this time, and may even lend a helping hand.

In exchange, Chen Yu offered a price that satisfied him.

At the same time, Zhou Mingzhe also wanted to see the results of Chen Yu's attempt.

If the other party succeeds, there will certainly be consequences, and they will be very serious.

But Zhou Mingzhe will also have extra gains.

If Chen Shoufu fails, then...

"Get ready to join the cabinet." Zhou Mingzhe instructed his students, "regardless of whether this battle is won or lost."

Xi Zhichang took a deep breath and said, "Yes, teacher."

A servant from the mansion came to report.

Zhou Mingzhe then instructed Xi Zhichang to receive a group of guests on his behalf.

After changing his clothes, the Second Assistant Minister of the Ming Dynasty went to the front hall to meet another guest.

Seeing the master coming, a young Taoist priest with a handsome face, a celestial bearing and a calm gaze stood up in the front hall and said, "Excuse me for disturbing your rest, Lord."

Zhou Mingzhe smiled and invited the other party to sit down: "It is I who invited you to be my guest, Master Mu, you don't have to be polite."

The Taoist who looked like a young man was Mu Chunyang, the abbot of Zhenwu Temple of Ming Dynasty.

"Thank you for your hard work in this northern expedition."

Zhou Mingzhe said, "There are some young censors on Yuanfu's side who have been acting more and more frivolously recently. Master Mu, please don't take it to heart. Yuanfu is devoted to the country and is inevitably negligent in supervision. I have already asked the Chengdu Censorate to give them a warning. This northern expedition is of great importance, and Master Mu needs to put aside past grudges and lend a helping hand to Yuanfu."

Mu Chunyang: "Your Excellency is too kind. I know the importance of the Northern Expedition. Over the years, you have been very supportive of our temple. I am always grateful. Since you have given me the order, I will do my best."

Among the three parties in the court, Zhenwu Temple has always had more contacts with the Chu Party, and Zhou Mingzhe and Xi Zhichang, teachers and students, also have private relationships with Mu Chunyang.

Previously, because of the affairs between Han Qingtao and the Human World Kingdom, not only the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, but Mu Chunyang and the Zhenwu Temple were also at the center of the storm.

Zhou Mingzhe also has complicated feelings towards Mu Chunyang.

But for the top master of the Daming Dao sect who has reached the ninth level of perfection, it must be used.

There are some particular requirements on how to use it.

Mu Chunyang was as calm and humble as ever.

Even though he had a vague feeling that there seemed to be someone familiar here.

The abbot of the Zhenwu Temple of the Daming Dynasty showed no strange expression on his face and calmly said goodbye and left Zhou Ci Fu's residence.

Zhou Mingzhe went to the side hall.

There, his student Xi Zhichang greeted two guests on his behalf.

Like Mu Chunyang, there were two people who came from the Taoist sect. One was dressed in simple cloth and hemp shoes, and was from the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty.

The other one was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, and was obviously also a member of the Zhenwu Temple of the Ming Dynasty.

"The two Taoist priests have been waiting for a long time." Zhou Mingzhe came in.

"Teacher." Xi Zhichang and the two Taoists stood up to greet him.

"Master Mu is accompanying the army on the northern expedition, so it will be up to Taoist Wei to preside over Zhenwu Temple from now on." Zhou Mingzhe said with a smile.

Wei Jingyi, the elder of Zhenwu Temple, bowed to him and said, "I am very sorry. I hope you can give me more advice."

Zhou Mingzhe sat down and said with a smile: "Loyalty to the emperor and the country will be witnessed by the sun and the moon."

Wei Jingyi: "I will follow the elder's instructions."

Zhou Mingzhe looked at the Shushan Sect elders on the other side and said, "To Shushan and Taoist Mo, I have the same words."

Shushan Elder Mo Qingshi had a solemn expression: "I will follow your instructions and will definitely provide guidance to other disciples of our sect. Please believe me, we all hate the traitor Han Qingtao and have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty from the beginning to the end. This is known to the sun and the moon!"

Zhou Mingzhe nodded: "Don't say that, Mr. Mo, your words are too serious. I naturally believe what you said."

He smiled and said, "Your sect's magic weapon is only temporarily deposited in the imperial court."

Mo Qingshi said solemnly: "The treasure of Shushan is the treasure of Ming Dynasty. It is more beneficial to national affairs if it is controlled by the court. If the court gives an order, everyone in Shushan will obey.

Moreover, the name of the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot should be subordinate to the state system, and I often advise my fellow disciples for this reason. "

Zhou Mingzhe smiled and nodded: "Master Mo has the Ming Dynasty in his heart, and he is worthy of being a Taoist master."

He glanced at Mo Qingshi of Shushan Sect and Wei Jingyi of Zhenwu Temple, and then said, "I summoned you today because I have another matter, and I need your help."

Mo Qingshi and Wei Jingyi both said, "Please give your instructions, Lord."

Zhou Mingzhe: "I usually help the Prime Minister to relieve His Majesty's worries, so I inevitably neglect my academic research. I have made some achievements over the years, and I would like to ask the two Taoists to help me study a little."

He nodded to his student Xi Zhichang, who then handed some documents to Mo Qingshi and Wei Jingyi respectively.

While two Taoist eighth-level high-level elders, one refiner and the other alchemy cauldron, were browsing the documents, Xi Zhichang couldn't help but recall an earlier conversation with his mentor Zhou Mingzhe about Prime Minister Chen Yu's northern expedition.

"Those who command troops should decide the battle from thousands or tens of thousands of miles away." Zhou Mingzhe's words left a deep impression on Xi Zhichang.

Mo Qingshi and Wei Jingyi became more and more frightened the more they watched.

It is said that Lord Zhou was too busy with government affairs to focus on academic studies, but as for his practice of Neo-Confucianism, it is clear that he wanted to make a great start.

So far, practitioners of Confucianism, including Neo-Confucianism, although they do not often have to charge into battle and fight the enemy like martial arts practitioners, but if they really want to decide the outcome, they still have to go into battle themselves.

It is impossible for the top Neo-Confucian scholars like Chen Yu, Zhou Mingzhe, Liu Chong, Gao Ming, etc. to sit still in the capital and watch their disciples and nephews of the seventh, eighth or even lower levels of cultivation go to compete with the foreign Khans on the grasslands or the Buddhist masters of the Western Regions, and they must demand that the other side win.

Ultimately, top masters need to fight directly and restrain each other before there will be room for lower-level cultivators to compete. This is no exception in the Ming Dynasty's cultivation world.

But now, Lord Zhou...

"I'll have to trouble the Taoist priests to share their ideas on relevant etiquette." Zhou Mingzhe smiled.

Mo Qingshi and Wei Jing hurriedly said, "You are too polite, Lord. We will do our best."

Later, Xi Zhichang said goodbye to his teacher's house and returned to his own residence.

As the second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty, and a new upstart of the Chu Party who has completely paved the way for his entry into the cabinet, although Xi Zhichang is very respectful in front of his mentor Zhou Mingzhe, he himself can be regarded as a towering tree in the court of the Ming Dynasty. His mansion is constantly visited by people who want to see him.

The doorman had sent away all the other guests, only one stayed and waited for him to come back.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Brother Shouzhen." Xi Zhichang said apologetically.

The middle-aged scholar who was waiting was named Nie Zhongjie.

From Gui Zang.

When the Ming Dynasty was clearing out the remnants of the Small Ming Court, Nie Zhongjie made great contributions.

"No, I have nothing to do. It's okay to wait. The real reason I want to bother you is Brother Fanguang." Nie Zhongjie said.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, they sat down. Xi Zhichang said, "Excuse me, but I have something to ask you. Some people from Tianli mentioned that in Tianli, in the world occupied by the pseudo-Tang court, there seems to be a bloodline of the Nie family who practices unorthodox magic?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhongjie's face darkened. "To be honest, this is true. There is a disobedient and unfilial son in the family. It is my fault for not disciplining him properly."

Xi Zhichang: "Brother Shouzhen, please don't misunderstand. I have no intention of blaming you. I hope your son can correct his mistakes and return to the right path as soon as possible.

I invited Brother Shouzhen here today to discuss some issues concerning the principles of heaven.

At present, the imperial court is focusing on sending troops to the north. As the southwest is in line with the laws of nature, it is better to maintain stability for the time being and avoid major movements.

But we should think long-term, for the next ten years or even a hundred years, so we should start making some preparations now."

"Brother Fanguang is right." Nie Zhongjie said, "I am not talented, but I am willing to do my best."

According to what Xi Zhichang said, there will be no major actions taken by the Ming court.

More related matters will be handled by the public.

Nie Zhongjie was rewarded for his merits, but if he wanted to truly enter the Ming Dynasty court officialdom, he had to take the examination route.

He himself has a high level of knowledge in science, but his main focus right now is to train the young men of his clan.

The Nie family has already established contact with the Chu Party, but future developments remain to be seen.

Nie Fang...

Thinking of this name, Nie Zhongjie's face remained calm, but many thoughts flashed through his mind.

.....................

The world of the Tang Dynasty.

Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion.

Lei Jun was currently talking to Ji Chuan who came from the Shushan Sect of the Tang Dynasty:
"Yuan Qingci, Li Miaozhen and other people from the Ming Shushan Sect were not recruited to join the army in the northern expedition?"

Jichuan: “That’s the case so far.”

Lei Jun: "Are they planning to take this opportunity to take back the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot and other magic weapons?"

"They don't have such an idea. Although the Ming Dynasty concentrates its forces on the northern expedition, the remaining forces are still strong." Ji Chuan said.

As for inviting monks from the Tang Dynasty to help, Yuan Qingci, Li Miaozhen and others did not say anything.

There is little contact between the two sides, and they are also observing quietly.

Although Lei Jun had a bad impression of the Neo-Confucian masters of the Ming Dynasty, he also had no intention of interfering in this battle.

That would be equivalent to relieving the pressure on the monks of Xumi.

"As the saying goes, a single move can affect the entire body." Lei Jun casually handed a talisman to Ji Chuan.

Ji Chuan took it and looked at it, then raised his head and asked: "Over in the Han world, has the Xumi Treasure Department shrunk?"

Not only the Sumeru Karma tribe operating in the Ming Dynasty felt the pressure.

The Xumi Treasure Department, who was in the Han world, also felt it.

Among the five parts of the Sumeru Vajra Realm, the Vajra part had collapsed before, and the main part of the Padma part, Zongjia, along with the Vajra and Amitabha Peacock Throne were lost. Before that, Master Baima was also killed, and the loss was also heavy.

Under such circumstances, the other three departments began to act cautiously.

The Ming Dynasty has made it clear that it will concentrate its forces in the northwest to launch a war.

The Sumeru Karma tribe had to think further ahead.

The five departments have always operated independently, but in this special situation, they had to communicate with each other frequently and make preparations in advance.

"The Xumi Treasure Department has shrunk, and the good situation that was previously opened up during the Han Dynasty has almost returned to a few years ago."

Ji Chuan said, "Before, the aristocratic families active in the territory of the Han Dynasty and the Dakong Temple in the southern wilderness, I wonder what their current situation is?"

Lei Jun: "The aristocratic families have also restrained themselves and are no longer as active as before. As one rises while the other falls, the Dakong Temple becomes more arrogant."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chuan was speechless.

Originally, it was a situation of a three-way wrestling match between the Xumi Treasure Department, the Twelve Famous Families and the Dakong Temple. Now that the Xumi Treasure Department is willing to withdraw, the balance is suddenly missing a corner.

The aristocratic families had no intention of directly confronting and bloodying the Han Dynasty's Dakong Temple on behalf of the Han Dynasty's Longhu Mountain.

On the surface, they would not just walk away and give the Han imperial family an excuse.

But the result is that it seems unable to resist and is retreating step by step.

Of course, the heads of various families also have something to say.

The monk from the Western Regions was unreliable and ran away directly, which was equivalent to betraying their allies, causing heavy casualties among the families, which led to the disaster today. The court should severely punish him...

This really is a case of one move affecting the entire body... Ji Chuan held his forehead with his hand.

I just don’t know what impact it will have on the Emperor of Han and the Crown Prince of Han.

The Han Dynasty's Longhu Mountain, Xumi Treasure Department, and aristocratic clans all collapsed.

The Han imperial family needs to face the rebels in Dakong Temple personally.

Lei Jun had no intention of interfering with the Ming Dynasty's northern expedition, and was content to practice meditation in the Tang world. He only received news about the Ming world and learned about the progress of the war from time to time through his junior brother Chu Kun, Ji Dongquan of the Shushan Sect, Xiao Chunhui, and Zhang Hui.

It was a rare occasion that the Ming Dynasty was free from internal strife, and a large number of experts were dispatched from top to bottom.

Their progress was not fast, but extremely steady.

The Neo-Confucianists became stronger as the battle went on, and their cautious approach was fully demonstrated by Chen Yu and others.

Both the northern tribes and the Sumeru Karma tribe are full of experts.

The alliance between the two parties is even more eye-catching.

But this time, the Ming Dynasty unleashed even more astonishing war potential.

The Prime Minister Chen Yu.

Sang Yan, the third-ranked Grand Secretary in the cabinet.

Liu Chong, the fourth-ranked Grand Secretary in the cabinet.

In addition to the three grand secretaries of the current dynasty, there were even several state elders who had retired and returned to their hometowns and came back to power.

Also included are Mu Chunyang, the abbot of Zhenwu Temple, and Master Guangshu, the abbot of Bodhi Temple.

The number of these top masters alone is exaggerating.

There are countless other masters.

The Ming formation was like a towering moving mountain, first pressing down on the northern grasslands and then pointing toward the Sumeru Buddhist temple in the western regions.

“It’s true that it’s powerful and strong, but at this speed of advancement, we can only drive the people back to Xumi and then seal the gate to Xumi.” Lei Jun said after listening to Chu Kun talking about the latest news.

If the Ming Dynasty is not greedy, this can be considered a preliminary achievement of the strategic goal of pacifying the northwest.

Considering the importance that the Buddhist sects in the Western Regions had previously attached to Mount Sumeru, they would not risk shaking Mount Sumeru and ambush the Ming Dynasty by luring the enemy into a trap.

It was a rare occasion for the other party to unite, so Xumi might as well close the door and refuse visitors, and let the other party take the limelight this time.

I really don't believe that the Ming Dynasty can remain united like this...

"That's what I thought at first."

Chu Kun's tone was a little strange: "But the latest news is that the Ming Dynasty has successfully seized the void portal leading to Xumi, and is continuing to attack Xumi."

Lei Jun: “?”

Chu Kun: "I heard that the eunuchs in the Ming court also organized an army to join the battle, and the Prime Minister Chen Yu personally went out. No one dared to cause trouble internally, but externally, perhaps in order to compete for credit, the eunuchs rushed very fast and fiercely, and they actually succeeded in breaking through the door."

Lei Jun: “…………”
