After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

The situation in the world is turbulent.

With the end of the Yuezhou War, the imperial court fell into decline and the entire Central Plains of China was in shock, especially the three states in the southern region. After all, Yuezhou was very close to Yunzhou and Qingzhou.

For this reason, under Jiang Che's increasingly powerful force, many forces have begun to have small ideas and have begun to secretly collude with Yuezhou, and are even looking forward to the early arrival of the royal army.

Under such public sentiment, and in addition to Jiang Che's previous instructions, in just a few days, hundreds of thousands of Yuezhou troops marched to Yunzhou, under the siege of the two Martial Saints, Qi Yuan and the Red Blood Demon Lord.

It can be said that wherever he went, he offered his city and begged for surrender.

Within a few days, Yunzhou was declared to have fallen and surrendered to Jiang Che.

At the same time, given that the Beiling Qi family was already deeply rooted in Yunzhou, there was almost no resistance at the level of the martial arts world, and many forces even voluntarily submitted to them.

Be prepared to take a gamble on the merits of following the dragon at this time.

The Yunzhou forces such as Lingjian Mountain, Baihua Valley, and Fengpei Liu Family all defected to Jiang Che's side, which greatly increased the number of strong men on his side and made his foundation even stronger.

In the process of conquering cities and territories, the Red Blood Demon Lord did not forget Jiang Che's previous instructions. Not only did he make a huge fortune from various major forces, he also wiped out the Buddhist forces in Yunzhou.

However, the results of this battle were obviously not as good as the first time in Yuezhou.

Because the Buddhist sect already knew Jiang Che's attitude, they naturally would not leave any men for Jiang Che to kill, and most of them had already withdrawn. Master Chixue felt somewhat regretful about this.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do.

Then, after a few days of reorganization of the army.

The 300,000 soldiers of King Wu once again marched north and fought several battles with the imperial forces left in Qingzhou. Compared with those in Yunzhou, the battles in Qingzhou were obviously more difficult.

After all, nearly half of Yunzhou’s forces have withdrawn to Qingzhou.

Here, close to Zhongzhou, there are still some forces that are closely related to the interests of the imperial court. Once the imperial court loses power, they will inevitably be liquidated.

Among them is a thousand-year-old family.

However, the current situation is that the imperial court is weak and King Wu is strong. The battle of Qingzhou only temporarily slowed down some progress. Later, Qi Yuan mobilized several martial saints to join forces.

He killed another Martial Saint and severely injured another, successfully wiping out the most stubborn force in Qingzhou.

Three more days passed.

The entire Qingzhou territory surrendered.

Qi Yuan and others took advantage of the situation and pushed the battle line to the border of Zhongzhou, facing the imperial army from across the air. Afterwards, Qi Yuan and others also kept in mind Jiang Che's previous strategic deployment.

At this point the Northern Expedition came to an end, and what remained was a great purge.

No matter whether it was the martial arts forces or the Buddhist forces, as long as they had previously opposed the King Wu’s army, they were all slaughtered and all their resources were seized.

It also allowed Jiang Che's side to gain a huge amount of resources.

In just less than ten days, they conquered two states, and the imperial court had no ability to stop them and could only retreat to the last Zhongzhou. When such news spread.

Once again, the whole world was shocked.

Everyone who heard it was shocked.

At the same time, Jiang Che was more convinced that he would succeed. Under such a trend, even some forces in the East China Sea began to place bets in advance and showed goodwill to Jiang Che.

Also at this juncture.

The Northern Barbarian Army led 600,000 cavalrymen, broke through the border of Youzhou, expanded the territory by more than 10,000 miles, and almost took over half of Youzhou and two states. The Northern King Feng Yujiang was defeated and retreated.

Such a treacherous situation has triggered wave after wave of offensives across the world.

And at this juncture.

A piece of news was also quickly transmitted back to Yuezhou from Qingzhou.

As for the content of the news, Jiang Che was both surprised and happy.

Because this news was not anything else, it was the news that came from Shenghai City, about the news that Princess Wenhao of Yuankang spent the blood of millions of people to sacrifice the souls of all living things.

Now it's been exposed by someone.

Right now, this news has caused a huge uproar throughout the country, and the imperial court, which was already in a precarious situation, has suffered another heavy blow.

Countless people were indignantly denouncing the corrupt emperor in the court.

As for the imperial court, it strongly denied it.

But this has nothing to do with Jiang Che, because he is currently thinking about the source of the news and whether it is true or false.

After all, this is really unimaginable. The king of a country actually condenses the blood and soul of all spirits. This is an unprecedented event, let alone the emperor refining the blood and soul of all spirits.

Even if a giant of the magic world did such a thing, it would cause condemnation from heroes all over the world.

Is Ji Wenhao really that stupid?

Jiang Che couldn't tell whether this was true or not.

However, he still tended to believe that this was true, because only in this way would his sacrifice of the blood of all spirits have a whereabouts, and he would not need to dirty his hands.

At the same time, he even felt that the reason why the Heavenly Sacrifice Monument offered such a sacrifice might have a lot to do with this point.

As for the truth of this matter, Jiang Che thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered the battle with Duan Yuntian. In that battle, he mobilized the gate of the realm, and after Duan Yuntian was unable to do anything to him, he turned to join forces with him.

At the same time, two pieces of news were revealed to him.

One is that the Buddhist Bodhisattva Ranchen has a deep plan and it is difficult for him to leave the Great Leiyin Temple. He has now faced this matter from the memory of Bodhisattva Gala. Bodhisattva Ranchen is now refining a holy Buddha fetus that he obtained from an unknown source.

Another piece of news is that Ji Wenhao seems to be planning to become a saint.

He vaguely felt that the blood and soul of all spirits condensed by Ji Wenhao might have a lot to do with this so-called entry into sainthood. For this reason, Jiang Che specially invited Yao Yue and Feng Wuji to ask for advice.

Yao Yue did not hide anything. After learning about the news about the Wanling Blood Soul, she recounted her speculations about Ji Wenhao's behavior, making Jiang Che more certain of this.

Several things are connected together, with a probability of 60 to 70 percent, proving that Ji Wenhao might indeed be refining the blood and souls of all spirits. This also makes Jiang Che more determined to go to the capital again.

The destiny of the dynasty, the dark bamboo trees, and the blood and soul of all spirits.

It can be said that more than half of the sacrifices are in the capital, and this time, he must go.

At the same time, he also felt a little sad.

Everything Ji Wenhao did seemed to be completely paving the way for him. Of course, the premise was that he could be the final winner. But no matter what, all the sacrifices had been found so far.

Next, he just needs to follow the steps.

"Senior, do you have anything to say?"

Jiang Che, who was deep in thought, suddenly noticed that Feng Wuji seemed to be hesitant to speak. He felt a little strange and asked a question.

Feng Wuji stared at Jiang Che and nodded slightly:
"Do you know the other news that came out along with the blood of all living things?"

"What are you referring to, senior?" Jiang Che is currently most concerned about the blood and soul of all spirits. As for the others, he really doesn't care about them particularly at the moment. However, seeing Feng Wuji's behavior, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Confucian sage."

Feng Wuji uttered two words with a serious expression.

Originally, he naturally did not intend to tell Jiang Che about this matter. After all, the Confucian Sage had specifically warned him about it. But now the news of the blood of all spirits has spread, and Ji Nantian called him the Confucian Sage.

It has also begun.

Ordinary people naturally don’t know what this means, but he knows exactly what these two words mean.

This means that Ji Nantian has already found the Confucian saint who is in charge of Shenghai City. Once the Confucian saint comes out to help the court, it will undoubtedly be bad news for them at the moment.

Although the Confucian Sage had said that he would not get involved in the current chaotic world, the Great Zhou had an extremely important relationship with the Confucian Sage after all. He was unwilling to take the gamble and had to inform Jiang Che of the importance of the matter.

After listening to Feng Wuji's explanation, Jiang Che finally realized that there was such a terrifying and powerful person in Shenghai City.

Suddenly, I felt extremely alert.

After all, the reputation of the Confucian sage is so great that he assisted Ji Taizu in establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty, sacrificed himself to the heavens, created Confucianism, and became the most powerful person who truly opened a precedent.

After hundreds of years, no one knows how strong this person is.

"Then do you think the Confucian Sage will help the court?"

Jiang Che asked with a frown.

Now the whereabouts of the sacrifice is known, but the difficulty seems to have increased as well.

If we don't handle it well, it's still unclear who will be the one making the wedding dress for whom.

“Before I came to Yuezhou, I invited the Confucian Saint to come with me, but he refused, saying that he was a recluse and would not get involved in the disputes of the world.

However, the relationship between the Great Zhou Imperial City and the Confucian Sage is extraordinary. Based on some scattered information sent back, I cannot determine whether the Confucian Sage will take action.

If he does, we'll be in big trouble."

Feng Wuji had a solemn expression, and it was obvious that he was very afraid of the existence of the Confucian Sage.

After all, when he stepped into the martial arts world, his opponent was already a world-famous figure. Hundreds of years had passed, and he himself was not clear about how profound the Confucian sage's foundation was.

"Then according to your opinion, how does the Confucian Sage compare to you?"

Jiang Che asked in a deep voice.

"Better than me by ten times, or even dozens of times."

Feng Wuji answered with absolute certainty.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, senior, please don't joke." Jiang Che said decisively.

Feng Wuji's cultivation had already reached the realm of human immortal. Although his strength was not as good as Duan Yuntian and those old monsters who had comprehended the rules, he was not weak at all.

If he were to fight Feng Wuji now, even if he tried his best, he might not necessarily win.

If the Confucian Sage could really defeat Feng Wuji ten or even dozens of times, then he would not be a human immortal in the holy realm, but a true immortal who had broken the limits of the realm and was under the shackles of this world.

He didn't believe it at all.

Feng Wuji looked solemn:
"I would never belittle myself or praise others. This is what I really say. When I was seeking refuge in Shenghai City and was away from the world, I had a lot of contact with the Confucian saints.

From my perception, the Confucian saint at that time was just like an ordinary old man, but how could the existence that shook the world at that time be an ordinary old man? It can only prove that this person's strength is far better than mine.

He is more terrifying than he was hundreds of years ago. I even feel that the Confucian sage may be only one step away from becoming an immortal."

"In other words, this Confucian sage must have mastered the power of rules?"

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes and felt an invisible pressure.

It seemed that the facts were really as he said that day, there really were six or seven great saints and land immortals in this world who had mastered the power of rules.

"From my point of view, this is inevitable."

Feng Wuji said in a serious tone.

Jiang Che suddenly fell into silence, and the sense of urgency in his heart became more and more intense.

Seeing the heaviness revealed by Jiang Che, Feng Wuji said again:

"You don't have to worry. I came here to visit Shenghai City to see what the situation is. Perhaps the Confucian Sage has really severed ties with the Great Zhou.

Furthermore, this news itself came from Shenghai City. Given the character of a Confucian sage, if he knew that Ji Wenhao was refining the blood and souls of all spirits, he would not even talk about helping the imperial court.

Not killing Ji Wenhao was a gesture of consideration for their old friendship."

"Senior, you are right. In that case, I'll trouble you to make the trip this time." Jiang Che came back to his senses and bowed.

"Wait for good news from me."

After he finished speaking, Feng Wuji did not hesitate and quickly disappeared into the void.

Prince Wu’s Palace, inside the garden.

At this moment, Jiang Che was the only one left, and his face was solemn. However, what he was thinking about was not some Confucian saint, but the mountain god Wang Ji Chengdao.

Since the Confucian saint was still alive after sacrificing himself to Tianyuan, it seems very likely that Ji Chengdao is also alive.

After all, Ji Chengdao was the undisputed number one in the world at that time, and he suppressed the entire Central Plains with his own strength.

He even made the southern Xinjiang and northern barbarians dare not to tear their faces off and invade the Central Plains. He also single-handedly prevented the world from becoming chaotic. As long as he was alive, no one in the world would dare to rebel openly.

His death led to the current chaos.

He had had this suspicion when he saw the Emperor's Sword in the capital before, and now, Feng Wuji's words made this thought even stronger.

But what he didn't understand was, if Ji Chengdao was really still alive, how could he be indifferent to the current situation? You know, the Great Zhou was about to perish.

Ji Chengdao, on the other hand, was a genuine member of the royal family with the surname Ji.

He even thought of Ji Chengdao's request to him to leave a bloodline for the Ji family in the future.
While he was deep in thought, suddenly, there was a ripple in the void, and a teasing voice sounded in his ears:

"Jiang Che, guess what surprise I brought you this time?"

The person who came was none other than the Red Blood True Lord Lu Chenfeng.

As he finished speaking, a familiar figure in a brocade robe was casually thrown down from the void. Looking at that figure, Jiang Che raised his eyebrows slightly and felt a lot of surprise.

The third prince, Ji Changsheng?
Why did he come here suddenly?

After Ji Changsheng stabilized his body, he bowed to Jiang Che smoothly without any hesitation and called out sincerely:

"My son Ji Changsheng greets his father!" (End of this chapter)
