Puppet emperor?Summon three thousand Xuanjia troops at the beginning

Chapter 822 The Saints Set Off on an Expedition!

Days passed by, one after another.

It seems that nothing has changed in the Great Qian Kingdom.

No, it should now be called the Great Qian Holy Kingdom.

Although Zhou Yuan had not yet officially established his state or proclaimed himself a saint.

However, it is unlikely that any dynasty in the entire world would object to this title.

Meanwhile, the surrounding dynasties were sending envoys to the Great Qian Holy Kingdom to pay homage.

At the same time, these dynasties were also deeply shocked.

The sky has changed!
The Eastern Holy Kingdom was so easily destroyed by the Great Qian Holy Kingdom.

Although they didn't know exactly how the war started or ended, that didn't stop them from understanding what to do next.

After all, that war started so suddenly that ordinary people simply couldn't understand the specifics of it.

A battle between saints.

This was not a clash between dynasties at all.

Therefore, all they could see was the initial anxiety and the sudden changes.

But for these dynasties, their hearts were mostly filled with excitement.

Although the battle between the two dynasties ended sooner than they had imagined, at least as they had expected, the Great Qian Holy Kingdom achieved the final victory, and the mountain that had weighed on their heads for countless years, the Eastern Lin Holy Kingdom, had been completely removed.

Even if the Great Qian Holy Kingdom is powerful, can it once again dominate the entire world like the Eastern Lin Holy Kingdom in a short period of time?

At least in their eyes, this was an impossible thing, so these dynasties all held the Great Qian Holy Kingdom in sincere respect.

However, what they were really hoping for was that their dynasty could advance further amidst the upheaval of this event.

Even if it cannot become a holy nation, it must at least achieve a higher status than in the hundreds or even thousands of years that the Great Qian Holy Kingdom has conquered all the dynasties under heaven.

As for the Great Qian Holy Kingdom suppressing the other two great holy kingdoms, that is simply impossible.

The battle between the three holy kingdoms will definitely not end in a short time, whether the two sides shake hands and make peace or one side is destroyed.

This will not happen anytime soon.

Before we knew it, the year was drawing to a close.

A light snow was falling from the sky.

Looking at the scene in the sky, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but recall his past.

He had only recently ascended the throne, and was surrounded by formidable enemies.

That year, it was snowing lightly like this.

He walked cautiously, step by step, and killed one powerful enemy after another.

Now, more than a decade has passed.

He is no longer the ignorant youth who had just ascended the throne.

He was already the ruler of the Holy Kingdom, holding the power of life and death over the entire world.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"Your Majesty, we have received news that the Great Sui Holy Kingdom and the Cangzhou Holy Kingdom have made contact."

Although it's unclear what their next move is, both the Great Sui Holy Kingdom and the Cangzhou Holy Kingdom are preparing for war, and a battle between my Great Qian Holy Kingdom and myself is likely inevitable.

"is it?"

Zhou Yuan turned around and glanced at the person who had spoken.

Then Zhou Yuan spoke:
"That's not necessarily true. Right now, the Great Sui Holy Kingdom and the Cangzhou Holy Kingdom are gathering their forces to prepare for a great war with our Great Qian Holy Kingdom. But at the same time, our Great Qian Holy Kingdom is also constantly integrating the power of the Eastern Lin Holy Kingdom. All the countries in the world are also gradually coming under the banner of our Great Qian Holy Kingdom. If this drags on for too long, it may not be good for them."

Zhou Yuan understood this matter very clearly.

Delaying the war does have some advantages for the two great holy kingdoms, as it allows them to amass a large force and engage in a full-scale battle with the Great Qian Holy Kingdom.

However, the same applies to the Great Qian Holy Kingdom.

The result of this is that even if they win, it will lead to heavy losses for both holy kingdoms.

After all, the strength of the Great Qian Holy Kingdom is definitely not weak.

Therefore, this is definitely the worst choice for the two holy kingdoms.

If those two powerful nations were wise enough, they would never have chosen such a high-profile way to start a war.

More likely, they will launch a direct surprise attack on the Great Qian Holy Kingdom with their absolute top-tier power.

After all, as long as he's dead.

The entire Great Qian Holy Kingdom posed little threat to the two great holy kingdoms.

As for the two saints who appeared in their Great Qian Holy Kingdom.

The Great Sui Holy Kingdom and the Cangzhou Holy Kingdom were naturally already aware of the news.

However, for them, this may not be a major concern.

Saints, being of a high position, would never obey the orders of one person.

Zhou Yuan is simply an exception.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Yuan dies, in their view, the two saints of the Great Qian Holy Kingdom will naturally fall apart.

Even if the Great Qian Holy Kingdom still exists, these two saints will be able to jointly rule it.

However, the threat to the two holy kingdoms is not too great.

Don’t say anything else.

It's not that there aren't other saints and powerful figures in the world.

Just like the Heavenly Craftsman of the Mechanical City back then.

That was a saint.

For example, there is a city in the world called Fear City, whose lord is the world-renowned Killing Saint.

The whole world is abuzz with rumors that the Killing Saint is a top-tier half-saint.

However, after digesting the foundation of the Eastern Holy Kingdom.

Although it was already very clear that the Killer Saint was not a half-saint powerhouse at all, but a true saint.

His strength is extraordinary.

Therefore, for those two great dynasties...

They were not actually afraid of the existence of saints.

What they fear is a powerful nation like the Great Qian Holy Kingdom, which could potentially threaten their grand feast.

Moreover, given the resources of the two holy kingdoms, they have accumulated a considerable number of powerful individuals.

Therefore, their goal could not possibly be to kill Zhou Yuan alone.

The reason we're still waiting is...

In Zhou Yuan's view, there was only one reason, and that was Wei Zi.

Wei Zi was seriously injured, and even a saint would absolutely not be able to recover in a short period of time.

After all, Wei Zi had almost been killed by Mo Zi at that time.

Once Wei Zi recovers, the power of the two holy kingdoms will surely strike immediately.

When that time comes, it will inevitably be the time for the decisive battle.

Zhou Yuan was also waiting for this opportunity.

after all……

He considered the same reason why he did not take action against the two dynasties.

If the enemy's strongest warrior cannot be killed in the first battle, then the war will be delayed indefinitely.

Moreover, once the saints of those two holy kingdoms are prepared...

Killing them wouldn't be so easy.

A saint lurking in the shadows, ready to retaliate at any moment.

This is not the kind of opponent Zhou Yuan wants to face.

Therefore, this battle.

The two sides had an excellent understanding.

At this time, the Great Sui Dynasty.

Hongzi, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them, looked in one direction, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Finally done."

Hongzi vanished from his spot in a flash and reappeared outside.

Then suddenly, a radiant glow appeared in the sky.

Amidst the radiant glow of the setting sun, Wei Zi emerged from the light.

"Fellow Daoist, I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Wei Zi spoke with a smile on his lips.

"It doesn't matter."

Hongzi nodded.

Then Hongzi spoke up:
"Now that you have recovered, it's time to prepare for action."

A hint of resentment flashed in Wei Zi's eyes.

"That's right, it's time to take action!"

His heart was filled with rage towards the Great Qian Holy Kingdom. If it weren't for the Great Qian Holy Kingdom, how could he have fallen to this state? Although his injuries had healed, his foundation had actually been damaged.

It is almost impossible to make up for his past mistakes; his current strength is less than 90% of what it used to be.

Most importantly, the path to the future has been severed.

This hatred and resentment cannot be easily erased.

The hatred of cutting off one's path is no different from killing one's parents.

In his view, it was even worse than killing one's parents.

Especially now that the time has finally come to settle all this.

"I wonder how many semi-saint level experts have been invited so far, and whether any saints are willing to participate?"

Hearing this, Hongzi shook his head and then said:
“The sages of the world are all deeply wary of our holy country, and naturally they are unwilling to have too much contact with us.”

Inviting them nowadays is not easy; for them, it's just a matter of sitting back and watching the tigers fight.

However, now my Great Sui Holy Kingdom and Cangzhou Holy Kingdom have gathered more than thirty semi-saint level experts.

This battle will surely annihilate the Great Qian Holy Kingdom!

"it is good!"

Wei Zi was greatly encouraged.

"That's enough. The three of us can hold off the three saints of the Great Qian. The remaining half-saints will surely be able to kill all the powerful figures of the Great Qian Holy Kingdom in a short time."

By then, they'll be nothing more than fish on a chopping board, ready to be disposed of by us at any time.

Hongzi nodded.

This was also what he was thinking.

While the power of a semi-saint cannot control a saint like them, a sufficient number of semi-saints, combined with their own combat prowess, can achieve great things.

With just a little intervention, they could tip the scales of victory in their favor.

Not to mention so many semi-saint level experts.

Without hesitation, the two immediately contacted the Sage of Painting in the Cangzhou Holy Kingdom.

The current master painter has long been waiting for all of this.

Suddenly, a black bird made of holy power flew in from the horizon.

The moment the painting master saw the black bird, he laughed.

He made no movement, but simply spoke softly:

"Fellow Daoists, it's time to set off."

"I will obey the sage's command!"

A series of responses suddenly appeared, and then a large number of figures soared into the air and stood high in the sky.

This caused countless subjects below to submit and yield.

Although they didn't know what had happened, they felt a deep sense of awe.

They dared not show the slightest disrespect.

These are all semi-saint powerhouses from the Cangzhou Holy Kingdom.

Once everyone was in place, the Sage of Painting appeared in the sky.

Then the group of people turned into streaks of light and disappeared.

Before long, the powerful figures of the two dynasties had already gathered together.

A myriad of rays of light accompanied us.

They made absolutely no attempt to conceal their intentions, and proceeded openly and ostentatiously towards the Great Qian Holy Kingdom.

The three great saints were in front, followed by more than thirty semi-saint powerhouses.

Its power is enough to topple heaven and earth and turn mountains and rivers upside down.

And the moment they stepped into the territory of the Great Qian Holy Kingdom.

Zhou Yuan, who was sitting in the palace of the Great Qian Holy Kingdom, suddenly opened his eyes.

"coming……"

He already knows everything.

This is the Great Qian Holy Kingdom.

Wherever the Nine Tripods are located, the mountains and rivers are in his hands.

If it were an ordinary person, he might not have noticed, but with such a massive force entering the territory of the Great Qian Holy Kingdom, it was impossible for him not to be aware of it at all.

The final battle begins!
"Where are the saints?!"

Zhou Yuan let out a loud shout.

Then, a series of menacing auras began to appear.

Li Yuanba was the first to rush out.

"The general is here!"

Then, other generals at the semi-saint level also stepped forward.

Then, other semi-saint level experts also revealed their figures.

The entire sky above the city was shrouded in the aura of a semi-saint.

Then, an enormous azure dragon suddenly rose up from the palace.

There was another person on the head of this giant dragon, and that person was Zhou Yuan.

With a dragon's roar, the entire world seemed to be filled with it.

Then several sages from the Great Qian Holy Kingdom appeared beside Zhou Yuan.

Mozi, Xiang Yu, Confucius, and Zhou Yuan.

This is the Great Qian Holy Kingdom today.

"Destroy the enemy!"

Just two simple words.

At that moment, all the powerful figures simultaneously headed towards the sky.

The first battle is the final battle!
Beneath the earth.

Countless people watched Zhou Yuan leave with many powerful figures, praying for him and his companions.

Those who had not reached the level of a half-saint were filled with resentment.

They wanted to participate in this battle, but they didn't have enough power to make any difference.

They felt resentful, but no matter what, they couldn't change anything.

This was destined to be a battle they could not participate in.

Tianmen Mountain.

The once ordinary hilltop suddenly began to tremble violently.

Insects, birds, and beasts scattered and fled.

In the sky, streaks of light, seemingly burning with flames, flew towards Tianmen Mountain.

After arriving at Tianmen Mountain.

These streaks of light suddenly stopped.

One figure after another appeared.

Even though these figures did not make any movement.

But at this moment, the flowers and plants on Tianmen Mountain grew wildly, as if they had been blessed by the heavens.

Hongzi frowned and looked into the distance.

Because he sensed powerful auras approaching them from afar.

"We were discovered?"

He was somewhat puzzled.

The painting master stood to the side, his expression unchanged.

"It seems that's true, but even so, so what?"
Today we carry absolute power, and even if the Great Qian wants to resist, it will be meaningless.

Behold my skills, everyone.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a huge scroll appeared before everyone.

"The Hundred Paths Diagram!"

To enter the Tao through painting, and to paint the Tao through the Tao.

The moment this painting appeared, it swallowed up the entire world.

They have now appeared in the world of the painting.

"Fellow Daoist's methods are extraordinary!"

Hongzi spoke with a smile.

"With this painting in hand, the Great Qian will be absolutely difficult to conquer."

What if the Great Qian Dynasty is prepared?
How could they possibly lose?
