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

Above the imperial city, Jiang Che, dressed in a brocade dragon robe, stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking everything that was going on below. As he forcefully entered the capital, most of the capital's imperial guards defected under Xue Pingzu's orders.

Only a small number remain loyal to the court, and are now being purged.

There is nothing wrong with their loyalty, but it is not acceptable for loyal people to be wrong. This is something Jiang Che cannot tolerate. Therefore, he will not be kind in this regard.

And below, groups of imperial guards were moving in to reshape order.

As for the capital city, it is actually in chaos now. It will take some time to restore stability, which is not as simple as words say.

As for matters in this regard, Jiang Che handed them all over to Chen Qingfang.

The two had already met briefly.

Because of their previous friendship, and the fact that Chen Qingfang witnessed the battle in the capital with his own eyes, his mind changed quickly and he directly expressed his submission to him.

As the messenger of the Black Ya God, he is the most suitable person to do this kind of thing.

It is worth mentioning that he also met Lu Jieyun.

However, there is now a deep gap between the two sides. Even though he appears to be approachable, Lu Jieyun still consciously puts himself in a subordinate position when facing him.

Jiang Che did not deliberately correct this.

Because this is bound to change.

They did have a friendship between them, but that was before. As for now, even if the two of them have some personal relationship, they cannot make it public. His arrangement was to become Chen Qingfang's deputy.

As for everything else, Jiang Che almost left it all to Xue Pingzu and Yao Yue.

The two of them worked together to restore order in the capital in the shortest possible time.

As for him, he had more important things to do.

That is the sacrifice breakthrough!
Although the previous battle was overcome without any danger, it also reminded Jiang Che that he was not the only one who had made progress in this world.

Although those people don’t have any external tools, they have hundreds of years of accumulated experience.

For example, Patriarch Ku Rong, Monk Ran Chen and others have all gained tremendous benefits in the process of this great change in heaven and earth. They have comprehended the power of rules and possessed extremely strong strength.

In fact, Jiang Che did not have much confidence that he could have survived that battle safely if it were not for the power of Ji Chengdao's attack sealed in the Emperor's Sword.

After all, Ran Chen's attack brought him too much pressure.

As for now, although Monk Ran Chen was repelled and might even be afraid of the Emperor's Sword, he could not pin all his safety on the illusory Emperor's Sword.

The foundation left by Ji Chengdao has been exhausted, and he can only rely on himself from now on.

As for the whereabouts of Ji Chengdao himself, he currently has no idea. He may still be in Tianyuan, or he may be anywhere within the realm. In short, he has no way of contacting him.

Moreover, he always felt that Ji Chengdao had a very deep plan.

Now that he has destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is still unknown whether the other party will have any other ideas.

Therefore, the only one he can rely on is himself.

Fortunately, after going through many dangers, he has now gathered all his sacrifices. He only needs to adjust his condition for a few days before he can make a sacrificial breakthrough and raise his cultivation to the peak of the Manifestation of Sainthood.

Raise the holy body to the state of great perfection.

He is not sure how much strength will increase by then, but he has some guesses.

With his current strength, he can easily match the powerful immortals. If he is willing to sacrifice all costs, it is not impossible to kill ordinary human immortals.

Roughly at the same level as Feng Wuji.

Maybe his foundation is slightly inferior, but his fighting ability can reach that level.

However, when facing great saints like Patriarch Kuruo and Bodhisattva Ranchen who have comprehended the rules, the immortals on land still lack a lot.

But if he succeeds in breaking through, he estimates that he may not be suppressed if they fight again.

After all, he is different from ordinary warriors. Ordinary human immortals are not as good as half-step true immortals who have comprehended the rules. It is all because of the gap in the power of rules.

Hard to match, even harder to resist.

But he is different. He has the Dragon Vein Sword and can mobilize the power of national destiny. He can ignore most of the rules and reduce most of the pressure.

At that time, there would be no need to be wary of powerful people like Monk Ranchen and Old Ancestor Ku Rong who had comprehended the power of rules.

Therefore, the most important thing before him right now is sacrifice.

But before breaking through, Jiang Che was prepared to do one more thing.

That is to bury the dragon vein again within the imperial city.

Dragon veins are made of the essence of heaven and earth. They are difficult to grow on their own and require an extremely long time. However, we can find ways to stimulate their growth in order to improve the quality and heritage of the dragon veins.

Without dragon veins, a country's fortune cannot be suppressed, let alone the continuous generation of national fortune.

If he wants to establish a new dynasty, dragon veins are indispensable.

And now, he actually has a backup dragon vein.

The dragon vein power that has been integrated into his body has been completely integrated into the blood and flesh acupoints and cannot be separated, and he will not separate it. But he does not need to do so. After all, when he was still in the small world, he accidentally found a section of dragon vein.

That is the dragon vein nurtured within the small world's Daqian Dynasty.

It is very short, probably less than two feet, and certainly cannot be compared with the original dragon vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it can become a seed and turn into an important treasure to suppress the national destiny.

Jiang Che always carried the dragon vein with him, but never had the chance to use it.

at the moment.

It is the best opportunity.

Jiang Che did not hesitate for long. After figuring out the formation within the imperial city, he directly tore the ground apart and sent an illusory golden dragon into the ground.

This place is a Feng Shui treasure land, possessing the most top-notch land veins in the spiritual realm. It can be said to be the core of Shenzhou. Nurturing dragon veins here will greatly shorten the time.

After doing all this, Jiang Che flew away into the air and headed deep into the palace.

This time he plans to go into seclusion.

Although he did not suffer any serious injuries in the previous battle, he did suffer some losses. He needs to recuperate for a few days to recover to his peak. By then, it will be the best time for him to break through.

at the same time.

Just when Jiang Che finished everything and chose to go into seclusion, the news of the battle in the capital began to spread like a hurricane, sweeping quickly towards the states in all directions.

The news spread very quickly.

It can be said that in less than a day, all the prefectures in Zhongzhou knew about this matter.

As for the reason, it was naturally the terrifying fight before. In that fight, not only were there more than ten Martial Saints fighting, but there was also the golden body of Sumeru, which was tens of thousands of feet tall. The battlefield alone covered nearly a thousand miles.

Many people in the surrounding prefectures vaguely sensed the movement.

They were certainly very frightened at the time, but they did not dare to ask what had happened.

But when the news spread within the capital.

All the officials were confused.

Those who can serve as officials in the core area of ​​Zhongzhou are almost all confidants of the court. Their loyalty to the court is naturally unquestionable. They can even be said to have received the country's favor for generations. It can be said that once Jiang Che led the army to attack.

There must be many people whose whole family will fight to the death.

But the problem is.

Jiang Che did not launch a large-scale attack.

Instead, they attacked Huanglong directly, killed the emperor and occupied the capital.

What should I do next?
Everyone was panicking and at the same time, deeply confused.

More importantly, they can't even find a loyal person now. Except for Ji Changsheng and Ji Changzhi, almost all of Ji Wenhao's sons have been killed.

Most of the daughters had died, and almost all of the emperor's relatives had been sacrificed.

Ji Changsheng is now in Yuezhou, and Ji Changzhi has been directly controlled and cannot escape from the capital at all. Without even a leader, they can only be a group of scattered sand.

Although there are many royal family members with the surname Ji in various parts of Zhongzhou, although the relationship is relatively distant, they also have the surname Ji. If someone stands up, he or she will have some appeal.

But the question is, who dares to do this now?
The core of the imperial court has been destroyed. There is no doubt about how powerful Jiang Che is. If they try to restore the throne now, they will be courting their own death.

Just when many officials were in trouble, news from the court quickly spread throughout Zhongzhou, and Xue Pingzu announced the title of King Wu to the entire Zhongzhou.

The tyrant ruler is dead, and anyone who accepts surrender will not be implicated.

Anyone who dares to resist the power of heaven will have all the male members of his three clans exterminated, and the female relatives will be sent to the Jiaofangsi and will never be employed again.

As for the royal family of the Ji clan, as long as they did not oppose King Wu, they were all demoted to commoners and would not be implicated in any way. Even less of their family property would be touched. It could be said that this was an extremely generous treatment.

It can even be said to be unprecedented.

After all, when the Great Zhou was first established, the remnants of several countries were killed without mercy.

After hundreds of years, almost all the remnants of the imperial court from that chaotic era were wiped out.

Compared with the current Jiang Che, Jiang Che even appears to be a benevolent ruler.

Although many people were still unsure whether this matter was credible, it was at least a great comfort, making many members of the royal family with the surname Ji feel much more at ease.

He dared not collude with those court officials and even became a coward.

Under such propaganda, most of the court's loyal followers chose to submit.

Everyone knows that the situation is hopeless now and continuing to try to stop a chariot with a mantis arm will only lead to death. However, there are exceptions to everything. There are still a small number of officials and some royal family members with the surname Ji who refuse to obey the imperial edict.

He simply took away most of the property and fled to the north.

As for some more radical families, they chose to denounce Jiang Che and rebel as a whole family.

Their fate was that all of them were exterminated.

Such strength frightened a large number of forces that were ready to make moves. At the same time, the news spread to the military camp on the border of Zhongzhou.

Ever since Jiang Che rebelled and killed Grand Tutor Wen, Ji Wenhao has made many responses. He directly mobilized more than 200,000 elite Tianyuan soldiers, led by Marshal Chen and many powerful men from the imperial court, to build a defense line in Zhongzhou.

Be on guard against Jiang Che's massive invasion.

Originally, Marshal Chen was ready to sacrifice his life for his country. In the end, he did not die, but instead received a letter of advice from Xue Pingzu. Reading the contents of the letter, Marshal Chen's expression changed inexplicably.

One reason was that the imperial court had perished. With the death of the emperor, the 600-year-old Zhou Dynasty came to an abrupt end. It was really difficult for him to accept it. After all, he had almost grown up with the Great Zhou.

He was also a loyal minister, but when he heard the news of the country's fall, he felt somewhat at a loss. He even felt that the change was too fast and he, the commander-in-chief on the defensive line, knew nothing.

The war was effectively over.

As for the second reason, it was because the letter came from Xue Pingzu, which made him feel very surprised, because in his original impression, the Xue family, as royal relatives, should be loyal to the court.

This could be seen when Tianyuan was discussing sending troops.

As a result, now, before he, an outsider, surrendered, the Xue family had already surrendered on their own initiative. Xue Pingzu was still in charge of the imperial guards in the capital and was deeply trusted by Jiang Che.

Such changes puzzled him.

He could accept it if it was anyone else, but Xue Pingzu found it difficult to accept this fact.

But whether he accepts it or not, that is the fact.

He couldn't afford to have any doubts.

He faced only two choices: one was to die in battle, the other was to surrender.

In fact, what Xue Pingzu didn't know was that Marshal Chen was indeed prepared to die in battle, but not for the court, but for Grand Tutor Wen, ever since he heard that Grand Tutor Wen had died in battle.

He wanted to avenge the Grand Master. After all, the Grand Master was no less important to him than his master.

It’s just that Jiang Che’s strength is too strong, he can’t do it at all, he can only wait quietly for that day to come.

But the letter Xue Pingzu sent him also contained the stone in which Master Wen took his last photo before his death. He could tell that Master Wen asked for death himself, otherwise Jiang Che would have shown mercy.

After seeing all this, Marshal Chen crushed the photo stone and fell into deep silence.

It has to be said that the treatment Jiang Che gave him was quite good. While his salary remained the same, it was also improved. He also emphasized that the new dynasty would send more troops to Tianyuan in the future and go to war with the demon clan.

If it was just surrender, he would not fight back for the sake of his troops, but he was ready to retire. However, when he thought of the future of Tianyuan City, he finally softened his heart.

He immediately wrote a letter back to Xue Pingzu, expressing his willingness to surrender to Jiang Che unconditionally, and then waited for the other party to take the military power.

After sending his men away, the first thing Marshal Chen had to do was to purge some of the former imperial court's generals and military supervisors. He did not keep any of those who were unwilling to recognize current affairs.

But as the saying goes, he who knows the times is a hero.

A large number of people are willing to be aware of current affairs.

In this way, Jiang Che easily conquered more than 300,000 soldiers and horses on the Zhongzhou defense line with almost no effort. In just a few days, he successfully suppressed and ruled the thousands of miles of territory of Zhongzhou.

During this process, the news of the battle in the capital spread throughout the world in the shortest time.

In an instant, the whole world was shaken. (End of this chapter)
