Chapter 440 I do not wish to see a single demonic beast enter the heart of the Great Zhou.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen hadn't even had two days of peace before he received a series of urgent messages from the Eastern Depot.

Looking at the message in his hand, Zhou Chen's face turned gloomy.

Baicheng Prefecture suffered a massive attack from the Beast Dynasty, and the entire prefecture fell. The Beast Dynasty then surged towards the Great Zhou Dynasty...

Foreign tribes appeared simultaneously in the nine provinces including Yanzhou and Yuezhou, causing turmoil...

These messages made Zhou Chen extremely gloomy.

What kind of beast dynasty could cause the entire Hundred Cities Prefecture to fall in an instant?

It should be noted that since the Hundred Cities Prefecture was incorporated into the Great Zhou Dynasty, its power and resources have been unified and integrated by the Great Zhou Dynasty. Its defensive strength is not weak, and it is guarded by a king of the Life and Death Realm, making it much stronger than before.

Furthermore, unrest occurred in Yanzhou, Yuezhou, and other parts of the Nine Provinces, and foreign tribes also emerged.

This is clearly a scheme orchestrated by someone targeting the Great Zhou.

As for who it is...

The answer is already obvious.

Zhou Chen put down the message in his hand, his face grim.

Zhou Chen had not expected that the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, these alien races, would attack the Great Zhou so quickly.

What Zhou Chen didn't expect was that these alien races had already infiltrated the territories of these dynasties outside the imperial court to such an extent.

Judging from the forces behind these unrest in various states, if the Great Zhou had not taken over these dynasties, the previous dynasties alone would not have been able to suppress such unrest.

What alarmed Zhou Chen the most was that even after the great war's anti-drug campaign and the Great Zhou's cleanup, the infiltrating forces of these alien races had not been exposed.

This can be seen.

The extent of their plans and the depth of their schemes were remarkable; no wonder the four top sects, Ziyang Sect and Qingyun Sect, were so easily taken over by them.

Fortunately, the Great Zhou Dynasty had only been integrated into this wild realm for a short time.

Otherwise, the Great Zhou Dynasty would probably not have escaped the same fate as the Imperial Dynasty and other dynasties, and would have been infiltrated by the Demon Clan and the Demon Court.

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun; "With so many places experiencing unrest at the same time, and foreign tribes appearing, didn't your Eastern Depot discover a single clue beforehand?"

Zhou Chen's tone was calm, but it made Cao Zhengchun's heart tremble violently.

Cao Zhengchun immediately knelt down on the ground with a 'plop'.

"This old servant has failed in his duty; please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun apologized, his face somewhat pale.

As the Grand Supervisor of the Eastern Depot, the Eastern Depot also served as His Majesty's eyes and ears, monitoring the entire realm on His Majesty's behalf.

Now that such a major upheaval has occurred simultaneously in Yanzhou, Yuezhou, and other nine provinces, the Eastern Depot was completely unaware of it beforehand, which is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the Eastern Depot.

Although Zhou Chen's tone was calm, Cao Zhengchun could hear the accusation in it.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun had no choice but to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun but did not speak.

Only when Cao Zhengchun was sweating profusely and on the verge of collapse did Zhou Chen slowly speak, saying, "I will remember your crimes for now, and deal with them after we have dealt with the great enemies of the dynasty and the foreign tribes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the pressure on his body immediately dissipate.

"By imperial decree, 100,000 elite cavalrymen are to be dispatched south to assist the various prefectures in suppressing the rebellion."

"Issue an imperial edict to Zhang Fei, ordering him to also make a trip and quell these disturbances and wipe out these rats within half a month."

Zhou Chen said nothing more and directly issued the decree.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun had already stood up, and upon hearing Zhou Chen's decree, he immediately bowed and accepted it.

"And another thing." "Issue an edict to Yuwen Chengdu and Xu Chu, ordering them to each lead 100,000 elite guards north to the border to block the approaching beast dynasty. I do not want to see a single monster cross the border and enter the heart of the Great Zhou."

Yuwen Chengdu and Xu Chu have returned to the palace.

Although the two men were seriously injured in the previous battle with the imperial court, they have recovered considerably after more than a month of recuperation and are no longer affected by their inability to lead troops into battle.

Zhou Chen knew that with the current border defenses, it was insufficient to withstand the impending onslaught of the Beast Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhou Chen could only send Yuwen Chengdu and Xu Chu with the Xiaoguo Guards northward.

The Valiant Guards and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are the armies that Zhou Chen signed in with, and they are currently the most elite armies of the Great Zhou.

I haven't used it since the sign-in feature was introduced, but now it's finally come in handy.

"Old slave obeys the order."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun bowed again.

"Go!"

Zhou Chen waved his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhengchun turned and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Bai Qi."

After Cao Zhengchun left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhou Chen pondered for a moment and called out.

"His Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qi appeared in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen looked at Bai Qi and said, "This beast dynasty and turmoil should be a test by the foreign races against our Great Zhou. Zhang Fei will handle the unrest in the various states, so I am not worried."

"However, I am somewhat worried about the beastly dynasty at the border. I think Yuwen Chengdu and Xu Chu might not be able to withstand them. You should secretly go with them!"

It wasn't that Zhou Chen was being overly pessimistic; rather, he knew what kind of impact it would have on the Great Zhou if the border couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Beast Dynasty and allowed them to penetrate into the heart of the Great Zhou.

and.

This Beast Dynasty is clearly the work of a foreign race, and it cannot be ruled out that there may be a Demon Saint within it.

If this Beast Dynasty truly possesses the fighting power of a sage, then Yuwen Chengdu and Xu Chu would be unable to withstand it.

After all, Yuwen Chengdu and Xu Chu were only half-saints, and their injuries had not yet healed, so their combat strength was not at its peak.

Therefore, Zhou Chen must take precautions and ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"The general will obey the order."

Bai Qi accepted the order without any hesitation, bowing deeply.

After Bai Qi left, Zhou Chen's eyes flickered.

With 100,000 elite cavalrymen marching south, and the addition of the fierce general Zhang Fei, suppressing the unrest in various provinces should not be a problem.

As for the beast dynasty surging from the border, with Yuwen Chengdu and Xu Chu leading 200,000 elite guards, plus Bai Qi in the shadows, there's no need to worry.

The only concern is the time involved.

If Zhang Fei and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry fail to suppress these unrest in the various states as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more detrimental it will be to the Great Zhou.

This is just one of them.

Secondly, if the Great Sages of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, and the Sages of the Imperial Dynasty, were to come to Great Zhou at this time, Zhou Chen would not be able to withstand them.

Even with the national destiny of Gat, Zhou Chen couldn't withstand it.

After all, the difference in strength is too great to be compensated for by national fortune or cultivation techniques.

In short, Zhou Chen can only be considered a half-saint at present. With the help of the nation's fortune and the unique power of the Emperor's Conferring of Gods technique, he has already achieved the best he can do by defeating a peak Lesser Saint. It is impossible for him to cross a smaller level to fight a Great Saint.

"Hopefully nothing unexpected happens to Bai Qi and Zhang Fei, and everything goes smoothly!"

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered as he thought to himself.
