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

The holy land of the northern barbarians, Langjuxu Mountain.

Above the void.

There were two figures standing there. They were Jiang Che and Old Ancestor Ku Rong who had rushed all the way from Longcheng. In fact, they had guessed how the Barbarian Temple would respond long before they took action.

But when they arrived here, they found that the other party was indeed well prepared.

He simply abandoned everything and hid in the secret realm of the void.

Of course, with their strength, it is not difficult to find the secret realm. The difficulty lies in the fact that the other party has activated a large formation and is guarded by prohibitions. If they attack rashly, they can only destroy the place.

But he couldn't get any treasure inside.

This made Old Ancestor Ku Rong very sad. Ever since he made his fortune in the Witch God Temple, he had been eyeing the Barbarian God Temple which had an even more terrifying background. Unfortunately, the other party did not give him any chance at all.

"What should we do now? Continue to waste time or..."

Patriarch Ku Rong looked at Jiang Che, ready to let him make a decision.

"Let's do it. There's no point in continuing to waste time."

Jiang Che observed carefully and found no other way to get in, so he could only resort to this last resort.

"Alright."

Ancestor Ku Rong did not refute what Jiang Che had already decided. After all, there was really no other way. Then, the two of them attacked together and destroyed the void within a radius of 100 miles.

Start fighting against the prohibitions of the Barbarian Temple.

The Barbarian Temple is worthy of being the number one temple in the world. Its profound foundation is definitely far beyond that of the Witch Temple. Even with only the restrictions, the Barbarian Temple was able to block Jiang Che and the other two from joining forces for a full half hour.

But dead things are dead things after all, and the restrictions of the Barbarian Temple were ultimately no match for the combined efforts of the two. During this period, countless Barbarian Temple warriors were killed, and finally, there was a loud roar.

Completely fell into the turbulence of the void.

Jiang Che and his companion searched deeply, but they only found some ruined temples, but did not find the real Temple of the Barbarian God. After half a day, the two decided to give up.

"In my opinion, the high priest of the Northern Barbarians should not be in the Barbarian Temple now. Otherwise, if he were to control the formation, you and I would have to expend a huge amount of energy."

In the turbulence of the void, Old Ancestor Ku Rong frowned and expressed his opinion.

Jiang Che also nodded in agreement:
"If nothing unexpected happens, he should not be here. Otherwise, he would have appeared when the Northern Barbarian King's Court took action."

"Perhaps, he is near Fuling Mountain right now. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Patriarch Ku Rong seemed to have thought of something and quickly gave a reminder.

"Forget it, let's go back first. If this person is determined to escape, it will be difficult to catch up with him." Jiang Che shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal.

With their strength, they can surround and even hunt down the enemy, but aimless searching will waste too much time. Anyway, his goal has been achieved this time.

It's really time to go back.

Just talking about the sacrifices, it would be difficult to gather them all in a short time, but Jiang Che is not without a way to continue to improve his strength.

proclaim oneself emperor.

With his current achievements, he is more than qualified to be emperor.

After all, looking at the dynasties throughout history, he was the only one who could determine the major dangers in the north and south. Even Ji Taizu was not as good as him. If he was not qualified to be emperor, no one in the world would be qualified.

However, this matter has always made Jiang Che patient.

Without him.

Those who claim to be emperor may be affected by other factors.

This time when I go back, it's time to prepare for this matter.

"Okay, let's go back then."

The journey to the grassland was smooth, and on the way back, Jiang Che and Old Ancestor Ku Rong were also very safe. They encountered almost no setbacks and returned to the Central Plains easily.

This even made Old Ancestor Ku Rong a little disappointed.

He had been thinking about taking the opportunity to eliminate the hidden danger of the Northern Barbarian High Priest, but the other party never showed up, and seemed to have chosen to retreat completely to avoid the attack of the two of them.

They currently have no way to deal with this and can only wait for the time being.

Of course, there is no need to be too anxious. After all, there is Fuling Mountain. He and Jiang Che both know that when the time comes, the Northern Barbarian High Priest will not be able to resist the temptation.

By then, it will be completely over.

It took less than ten days for the two of them to go back and forth. During this period, the counterattack in the Central Plains was in full swing. In just a few days, under the leadership of Feng Yujiang.

The tens of thousands of miles of territory in the two states of Youliang were all recovered.

Detained Northern Barbarian soldiers could be seen everywhere. At the same time, Jiang Che and Old Ancestor Ku Rong discovered on their way here that the Central Plains had not only begun a counterattack, but had even started a small-scale Northern Expedition.

The battle line has already advanced to within a thousand miles of the grassland.

Dozens of grassland tribes were wiped out one after another.

And with the power of this great victory, this war can be said to be unstoppable.

Moreover, during this process, the news of the decisive victory in the Central Plains grasslands also spread throughout the entire Central Plains of China, especially the large and small victories that were constantly reported back to the capital.

Then spread from the capital to other provinces.

For a moment, the people in the Central Plains were ecstatic.

And facing Jiang Che, a peerless warrior who had surveyed the forces in the north and south, those forces that had originally intended to surrender to him slid into his knees very smoothly, and almost no force dared to stop him.

Jiang Che's reputation is now spreading across all states and prefectures.

Youzhou border.

This once fallen Bear City has been completely recaptured, and the Northern King Feng Yujiang is stationed here, commanding various wars, big and small. Such a scene makes him feel emotional from time to time.

This border post was originally a vanguard, but now it has become the rear base.

If this news had been spread a year ago, no one would have believed it.

But this is true.

And everyone knows that all of this depends on King Wu Jiang Che. Without him, the two states of Youliang would have been completely flattened by the iron hooves of the grassland, let alone recovered.

To the people of Youliang and other states, he is God!

Many people even began to offer tablets for Jiang Che at home. Feng Yujiang did not object to this and was even happy to see it.

Now he has basically figured it out.

Even if he occupied a state and continued to be the king, what would that do? Without strength, he would still be like a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror. According to his judgment, Jiang Che had a 90% chance of becoming a true immortal in the future.

Become the most powerful person in the world.

Rather than creating a rift because of some power, it would be better to hand over everything in advance and let Jiang Che handle it all.

"Your Majesty, are you ready to go back?"

In the Marshal's Mansion, when Feng Yujiang heard Jiang Che's plan, he was stunned. There was another reason why he was so surprised, and that was because Jiang Che asked him to be in charge of all the troops in the north.

Become the de facto King of the North!
You know, he was even ready to hand over all his military power, but Jiang Che actually trusted him so much, which made Feng Yujiang, the old general who had served Jiang Che for many years, feel a little complicated. "Let's stop with the affairs in the north, and it's time to go back. From now on, this place will be handed over to you. You can continue the Northern Expedition, but there is no need to rush to the grassland in large numbers. This time, the king will go deep into the grassland.

Having destroyed the Northern Barbarian King's Court and smashed the Barbarian Temple, the grassland is no longer a major threat."

"Power to Soldiers"

"Now that Youliang and Liangzhou have just been recovered, they are not very stable yet and need someone to suppress them. Not only the military power, but all other powers will be handed over to you. From now on, you will be in charge of all military and political affairs in Youliang and Liangzhou."

For Jiang Che, the so-called military power is actually no longer important. As long as his strength continues to grow, it doesn’t matter who holds these things.

vice versa.

He also did not have the energy to continue managing the north. His sights were not limited to one state or one place, but had long been set on the entire Central Plains and even the entire spiritual realm.

The Qingtian Sect’s plan, Ji Chengdao’s plan, and Ran Chen’s disappearance, these are all problems that Jiang Che needs to solve urgently.

But if you want to solve these hidden dangers, military power alone is not enough.

What is really needed is strength, the strength to overcome everything!

Now he is far from being invincible, and he still has many goals.

"Your Majesty, would you like to think carefully about this matter? How about I, Marshal Chen and Marshal Xue jointly take charge of the military power?" Feng Yujiang suggested when he saw that Jiang Che had made up his mind.

"You can make your own judgment on these. It won't be long before I transfer the two commanders, Chen and Xue, to the Northland King. Now the Spirit Realm has been basically pacified. Except for some entities lurking in the dark, the rest are no longer a threat.

But the demons outside the Abyss are still a serious concern, they are the biggest enemy."

Jiang Che said in a deep voice.

"I understand. From now on, if the king has an order, I will never disobey it. In fact, I also want to go to Tianyuan to see the magical powers of those monsters."

Feng Yujiang laughed cheerfully.

When he faced the Great Zhou Dynasty before, although he could not be said to be obedient to orders, he still had great autonomy. But now, he is indeed convinced by Jiang Che.

He was even willing to be transferred to Tianyuan for garrison.

"There is no rush for this matter. If that day ever comes, I will not be polite either."

Jiang Che nodded slightly.

After discussing business matters, Jiang Che also talked about private matters with Feng Yujiang, namely the marriage. Feng Yujiang had no objection to this and left everything to Jiang Che's disposal.

He felt it was an honor to be Jiang Che's father-in-law.

After all, Jiang Che doesn't need to care about him at all now, and the marriage would be considered as marrying above his station.

Subsequently.

Jiang Che, Old Ancestor Ku Rong and others gathered together. Feng Yujiang even took out a lot of precious wines to see Jiang Che off. As for Feng Wuji, he was not here. He had already set off for the Tai Shang Bajing Palace long before.

Early the next morning.

Without alarming anyone, Jiang Che and Old Ancestor Ku Rong quietly left the border and headed straight for the capital of Zhongzhou.

When they came, the two of them ran at maximum speed, but when they left, they were somewhat leisurely and in a completely unhurried state. After all, they had come to provide assistance before, and now they were returning.

At the same time, we returned with a great victory!

Before the Battle of Youzhou, the northern part of the Central Plains fell, and tens of thousands of miles of territory were occupied by the northern barbarians, which was in danger. The northern barbarians even had a tendency to move south in large numbers, causing the people of the four northern states to flee south.

Don't want to become a slave of a foreign race.

After the battle of Youzhou, the Northern Barbarians had exhausted their resources and were on the verge of collapse. He had directly attacked their stronghold and almost destroyed their foundation. From then on, the grassland would become their battlefield.

Looking down from a high altitude, one could even see groups of people returning north to the Central Plains. The expressions on their faces were no longer panic-stricken, but instead filled with genuine joy.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Che had some insights for some reason.

Although he has not yet become the emperor and the supreme ruler, his status and power are almost equivalent to that of an emperor, and the people of the Central Plains are also his subjects.

To benefit all living beings and bring peace to all living beings, perhaps this is the source of comfort.

In the beginning, Jiang Che only thought about himself, and was willing to do anything to achieve his goal. However, as he moved to a higher position step by step, he felt the burden on his shoulders.

In the past, when the demons invaded in large numbers and knocked on the gate of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Che was not actually too concerned, because he knew that even if the sky collapsed, there would be tall people to hold it up, and he only needed to grow.

As a result, in a short period of time, he became almost the tallest person.

These responsibilities will also be borne by him.

Seeing Jiang Che's thoughtful look, Patriarch Ku Rong did not interrupt him. He quietly watched and waited for him until Jiang Che regained his composure a moment later. Then he spoke:

"what happened?"

"I have realized something."

Jiang Che smiled calmly.

"What did you realize?"

"I do not know either."

Jiang Che looked up at the void and smiled.

Immediately, without waiting for Old Ancestor Ku Rong, he tore open the void and stepped in, leaving Old Ancestor Ku Rong with a look of astonishment. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing in his heart: "Hey, this young man."

Zhongzhou, Beijing.

Compared to before, the capital city has basically recovered most of its popularity, and the buildings that were once affected are being built in an orderly manner, and look like they are in full swing.

After returning to the capital, Jiang Che heard countless voices talking about him.

Basically, people were reciting his achievements in both the north and the south, and they all expressed their great admiration for him. Some people even directly shouted "Long live Jiang Che".

In response to this, Jiang Che still chuckled.

He returned to the palace quietly.

nowadays.

All his female relatives were transferred to the capital and lived in the harem. Jiang Che sensed their presence in an instant and immediately restrained his breath and sneaked in.

After a great battle and traveling hundreds of thousands of miles from south to north, Jiang Che was indeed a little tired and urgently needed some spiritual harbor to accommodate his existence.

In addition to power and practice, you also need to take a proper rest.

And these women are his last harbor.

Harem.

As soon as Jiang Che showed up, Qi Ningbing and the others who were chatting and laughing suddenly showed surprise in their eyes and stepped forward.

"Husband, you are back."

"We were just wondering when you would be back."

"that is."

In the blink of an eye, a bunch of beautiful girls surrounded Jiang Che, and he was not polite and directly hugged the person next to him:
"Don't worry, there's plenty of time today, just take your time." (End of this chapter)
