If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Nanjing city is extremely lively these days.

Disciples of Buddhism, Taoism and Taoism who came from the two capitals and thirteen provinces gathered in the capital. For a moment, the uninformed people thought that the imperial court was holding some kind of grand ceremony.

Both Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in the city have welcomed a large number of monks and nuns with orders during these days. Almost all the Taoist temples and temples in Nanjing are full, so that those who arrive late can only stay in inns on the streets.

There is no doubt that these people are practitioners.

In addition to people from the Buddhist and Taoist families, there are also casual cultivators from side sects. These people are relatively difficult to recognize.

Moreover, these people will not live in Buddhist temples or Taoist temples, and they are also more disobedient to discipline.

As a result, the security of Nanjing City has deteriorated as you can imagine, especially when there are those who are so bold that they dare to break into the Forbidden Palace and want to go directly to the emperor to find out what happened to the spiritual stones taken out by the imperial court.

Fortunately, before the news of the imperial stone's possession spread, the imperial court had already recruited a group of practitioners who were willing to obey the imperial court's orders. With their help and the new army, which was considered Taoist soldiers, the situation was finally calmed down and no big trouble was caused. .

Some of those who did evil and wanted to make a name for themselves in Nanjing were arrested by righteous practitioners or the official forces of the imperial court.

When dealing with these people, the imperial court was very clear-headed and did not play any tricks to recruit them. Instead, after all of them had lost their cultivation, they were brought to Caishikou for official punishment.

Although some people are dissatisfied and feel that it is only a mortal dynasty, why should they care about the affairs of "gods".

But as Queen Xu began to suppress the evil cultivators in Nanjing City as a god, and when the Dragon King of the South China Sea appeared on the Yangtze River with the South China Sea Navy, those who clamored for the most powerful were basically suppressed.

The reason why it is basically is because some of them run really fast.

Because of this, the public security in Nanjing City has improved a little for a while, and at least a superficial peace can be maintained.

As the Dragon King of the South China Sea, Ah Qing could only maintain such a scene, even though her cultivation was close to transcending the tribulation and she was only half a step away from becoming an immortal.

Queen Xu became a god through incense. Her strength depends entirely on whether the incense is strong or not. Therefore, when she became a god, she was still young and could not exert her full strength. She was only equivalent to a golden elixir-level monk.

Therefore, those who were truly advanced in cultivation in Nanjing did not actually take the imperial court seriously.

After all, if this is all your court has to offer, it won't be able to suppress these people.

Then, they saw the Qingyu Guards and the Donghai Navy coming from the sea.

There are more than a dozen warships in a row that are comparable to magic weapons. Each ship has at least one monk who is at the level of cultivating Qi and returning to the gods. There are also a large number of soldiers who are refining Qi. The appearance of this force is really frightening. Few people.

Although the emergence of the Nanhai Navy has made many people realize that the imperial court actually has Taoist soldiers. After all, the military camp Zhu Zhanqun left outside Dinghuai Gate can also train Taoist soldiers, but this is not a good idea for those monks with strong cultivation. It's actually nothing.

The Buddhist and Taoist families each have their own methods and methods for cultivating Taoist soldiers. Even in this Dharma-ending era when the aura of heaven and earth is declining, they are still able to cultivate enough "Dharma protectors".

Although they may not be as good as the imperial army in terms of quantity, they have an advantage in terms of quality.

Not to mention the existence of monks with powerful cultivation, each of them can deal with an army.Just like when they worked overtime and dared to go to trouble Zhu Di's Northern Expedition army alone, if they really get serious, none of these monks are easy to mess with.

Although there are some monks who have taken refuge in the imperial court, the loyalty and reliability of these people are really limited. It is not a big problem to let them do work such as maintaining law and order, but what if they are allowed to work hard?That would be a bit overthinking.

Although the imperial court's new army and the Nanhai Navy have a certain strength and have no problem dealing with ordinary casual cultivators, they are somewhat powerless against Buddhist and Taoist cultivators.

After all, their cultivation level was really not high. The training method used by Zhu Zhanquan in the military camp outside Dinghuai Gate was only a method that could train the most basic Taoist soldiers when they were lacking in spiritual energy.

As for the South China Sea Navy, most of them are just a group of little demons who have just transformed.

The large number looks intimidating, but in reality they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

So before Zhu Zhanchun's army appeared, for these practitioners, they were just giving the emperor a face, rather than really being afraid.

But when Zhu Zhanyu's army came across the sea, they did feel threatened.

Because Zhu Zhanyu's army is different from the Nanhai Navy. They have seen blood and fought in big battles. They are truly elites who have fought in every battle!
Especially after they have been trained by Zhu Zhanchun and Meng Qinglin, they are already comparable to the elite Taoist soldiers in the hands of the Dragon Clan in the world of immortality. Even in the world of immortality where bulls, ghosts and snakes are everywhere, they cannot be underestimated. exist, let alone in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the realm of practicing Qi to return to the spirit is not too advanced, after breaking through this level, there are Jindan masters who can practice the spirit to return to the void, and there are people who have further advanced their cultivation and are close to transcending tribulations, but among the practitioners of the Ming Dynasty, this is , can already be regarded as a backbone force.

The vast majority of cultivators who can still walk in the world and have not buried themselves to die are those who have this level of cultivation.

As for the dozen or so Jindan Daoists, they all knew that their lifespan was short and would not be able to survive this calamity, so they risked their lives and came out, hoping to find a way out for themselves.

Because of this, they actually don't have much respect for the imperial court, because the worst they can do is die!
And a golden elixir that fights to the death can really destroy the entire city of Nanjing.

It can be imagined how strongly these practitioners were shocked when they saw that there were so many practitioners in the court, including some masters.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are so many practitioners in the imperial court, which also proves from the side that the imperial court does have spiritual stones, a good thing that can counter the decline of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This also made many people who were still waiting and watching change their minds.

But along with it comes the unreal feeling that my life is being threatened.

Because the army in front of them can really kill them.

Seeing Zheng Fan's fleet docking at the port, the Jade Guards on the ship landed neatly on the shore. After the formation, they emitted a soaring evil aura. Many practitioners who came to watch were frightened and shaken by the evil aura.

However, compared with the appearance of Zhu Zhancheng and his wife, all this is really far behind.

Because they saw an immortal!A living immortal!

The shock brought by this fact even exceeded the boxes of spiritual stones transported by the Qingyu Guards from the battleship. (End of chapter)
