Journey to the head

Lu Qian's butt had just touched the couch when he heard Xuan Jun's question. He stood up and saluted again, and said with a smile: "Xuan Jun has wronged me. I was sitting at home when disaster came from the sky. I still have to cry to Xuan Jun."

After hearing these two sentences of conversation, the Jindan of Huaiyou Alliance were suddenly shocked and felt very disappointed.

This is not good. This little thief Lu Qian can actually chat and laugh with Miaomiao Xuanjun!
Normally, if these golden elixirs had the honor to meet Xuan Jun, they would all be trembling with fear. Xuan Jun's attitude was also very indifferent, but he just nodded slightly.

And now that he has met Lu Qian, Xuanjun's old face is so bright!

This is terrible! I thought it was a fair judgment, but it turns out the other party is close to the referee. How can I play this game?
Little did they know that Miaomiao Xuanjun was indeed very satisfied with Lu Qian. First, because of Lu Qian's meritorious service in reporting the news, Xuanwei Sect successfully climbed to Taiyi Paradise, and Cangzhou received a huge reward of 18 treasure ships. Then, he showed great combat power and killed Qiming Lingjun who invaded the state, and Xuanwei Sect's reputation remained intact.

Now, in full view of everyone, with his newly promoted Golden Elixir body, he killed Sikong Heng, a top disciple of Sikong family!

In Xuanjun's heart, he was actually very dissatisfied with the Sikong family's behavior of taking advantage of the challenge and directly sending troops to force Lu Qian to fight.

After all, Lu Qian and the Yunshan Sect had just received praise from their own family, and the whole state knew about it with the beating of drums and gongs, and yet you, Sikong Sheng, turned around and came to force a fight. Doesn't this mean you don't take me, Miaomiao Xuanjun, seriously?

It was just that the Sikong family seized on the loophole in the battle agreement. After all, it had been notarized in front of them, so even if they were annoyed, they had nothing to say.

Later, he listened to Lingxuan Zhenren's report of the whole process. He was furious at the Sikong family's shameless behavior and their vague intention to raise an army and destroy the Yunshan School in one fell swoop. Miaomiao Xuanjun was even more angry. He wrote a letter directly, severely reprimanding Sikong Sheng and punishing the Sikong family.

However, seeing that Sikong Sheng later admitted his mistake with a good attitude and paid some price very happily, for the sake of the overall situation of Cangzhou, it is not good to go too far and just give him a warning.

So Lu Qian killed Sikong Heng in the duel and taught the Sikong family a lesson, and Miaomiao Xuanjun was still satisfied.

After these events, Xuanjun was particularly fond of Lu Qian and was very satisfied with the bravery of the Yunshan Sect. He looked forward to their better performance in the future conquest of Qingzhou.

Then Lu Qian complained: "Lord Xuan, please be wise. Since our sect received the award from Lord Xuan, we are truly honored. We are full of fighting spirit and wholeheartedly remember Lord Xuan's instructions and contribute our humble efforts to the peace and stability of Cangzhou. Lord Xuan's handwritten letter of commendation is truly a treasure for our sect. I will hang it in the main hall, and my disciples and I will look at it day and night, and encourage ourselves to live up to Lord Xuan's instructions."

"But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. My sect wants to develop peacefully and work hard to govern, but there are ambitious people who will not let us go. First, the Sikong family came to force a fight. If it were not for the help of the envoys from the Lingshou Sect and the Xuanwei Sect, my Yunshan Sect would have been destroyed. Then the Huaiyou Alliance took the opportunity to plunder, and our counties suffered heavy losses!" Lu Qian looked sad and fell to the ground and complained.

"Please, Lord Xuan, take charge of our sect and restore peace and order to the northwest of Cangzhou!"

Miao Miao Xuan Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded: "I know all your grievances, don't worry, whoever starts the war will naturally be guilty!"

The faces of the Huaiyou Jindan suddenly changed drastically, and they were panicked. They looked at each other, their eyes were full of panic.

This, this is completely different from the Fenglei Gang’s prior plan!

By the way, why hasn’t Mo Yunsou from the Fenglei Gang shown up yet?

At this moment, the Yuanying who was sitting on the left side of Miaomiao Xuanjun suddenly spoke: "Xuanjun, everything must be based on the overall situation of Cangzhou."

There is nothing wrong with this sentence on the surface, but it is actually advising Miaomiao Xuanjun not to act on his emotions. For the sake of the overall stability of Cangzhou, the Huaiyou Alliance should not be punished too much.

The Yuanying on his right chuckled and said, "Mr. Xuan, they are all eagerly waiting for this. Tell them the decision that has been carefully considered and discussed by the sect."

Lu Qian snorted in his heart. This was also to guide Lord Miaomiao Xuan. We had already decided on how to deal with the matter, so don't change your mind on the spot.

From this, it can be seen that these two people are the leaders of the "house-born children".

Why didn't Qiancheng Lingjun attend? This should be the result of a trade-off. It seems that the power of "Wild Fox Zen" is weaker than he thought?
However, since Lord Miaomiao Xuan is so friendly to him, the Yunshan Sect will definitely not suffer any loss.

Xuan Jun nodded and said no more. The Jindan Zhenren who was beside him opened the scroll of decree and pronounced the verdict loudly.

"I am deeply saddened by the chaos in northwest Cangzhou. The cause and effect have now been determined."

"In order to gain hegemony, Mo Yunsou of the Fenglei Gang in Beichu County deceived the Qinglian Zhenzong, the upper sect, and secretly lured the Huaiyou Alliance to send troops, promising to share the land of the Yunshan, Mingyu Sword Sect, and Huanggen Sect. He is the culprit of this war and bears the main responsibility."

"The Huaiyou Alliance was instigated by the Fenglei Gang and invaded the territories of the three factions, disregarding the peace and stability of the state, causing certain losses. They bear important responsibility."

"The Sikong family had a war agreement with the Yunshan Sect before. This time they were so aggressive and came to challenge the Fenglei Gang, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it. They bear secondary responsibility."

When Master Zang Feng, Shen Jialuo and others heard the verdict, they were overjoyed and smiles appeared on their faces.

But Lu Qian and Kan Yuanzi remained calm, knowing that it was not that simple.

"Jiyang Mountain Villa was originally a neutral sect and should have remained so. This time, they were tempted by profit and joined the three-faction alliance, which led to the escalation of the dispute and the expansion of the war. They are also guilty and bear secondary responsibility."

Kan Yuanzi remained calm and listened quietly. Everything he did was for the sake of ensuring that Jiyang Villa would continue to have a long-lasting tradition and stand among the sects in Cangzhou after his own life span expired more than 20 years later.

To this end, he has paid a lot and will definitely get a reasonable return from the three-faction alliance.

"As for the three factions alliance, although it was a self-defense counterattack, firstly, it did not take the initiative to report to the Xuanwei faction and apply for mediation, but chose to fight privately. Secondly, it took the initiative to attack the heartland of the Huaiyou Alliance, which exceeded the necessary limits of defense."

"The two sides have in fact engaged in mutual fighting and attacking each other."

“Therefore, the three-faction alliance should also bear secondary responsibility.”

At this moment, Master Cang Feng almost had the urge to curse. But Lord Miao Miao Xuan was sitting above him, so who dared to say no?
The Huaiyou Alliance now felt somewhat relieved, and their heavy hearts were somewhat relieved.

At this time, Xuan Jun interrupted the sentencing and said gently, "Lu Qian, don't feel wronged. You must understand the deep meaning. I am using this judgment to tell all the counties and Jindan sects in Cangzhou to take it as a warning and not to attack recklessly. If there is any problem, you should seek the judgment of my sect to ensure the peace and stability of Cangzhou."

"This is just a warning, which will actually reduce the punishment. You should understand my painstaking efforts."

Lu Qian remained calm and bowed respectfully: "Lord Xuan has a long-term vision and focuses on the overall situation of Cangzhou. It is us who are not in a high position and do not consider the overall situation. We are naturally convinced by Lord Xuan's judgment and hope that Cangzhou will be governed from now on."

Master Cang Feng was indignant, but he also knew that it was meaningless to say more at this time, and it would only bring disaster. Since the Cangzhou leaders had made a decision, those who understood should implement it, and those who did not understand should deepen their understanding during the implementation.

Therefore, he, Kan Yuanzi, Shen Jialuo and others all prostrated themselves on the ground and responded respectfully.

When the Huaiyou Alliance saw this scene, they had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit and also bow down, praising the emperor endlessly.

Well, think positively, the situation of this battle has already reached the edge of reversal, and it would be very dangerous if it goes any further. Now it is worthwhile to preserve the vitality and take some punishment.

Think about the Three Sects Alliance and Jiyang Villa, they also shouldered a secondary responsibility. Everyone was beaten, and now they felt much better. Miaomiao Xuanjun was very satisfied with Lu Qian's attitude, and comforted him with a few words, educating Lu Qian to study hard and Yunshan Sect to work hard to become a benchmark and role model in northwest Cangzhou.

Such favoritism had previously made everyone very envious, but now it seemed that it was just that. Moreover, because of Xuanjun's attention, they would be restricted and required to be firm implementers of Xuanwei Sect's policies.

Xuanjun gestured for him to continue, and the Jindan Zhenren recited again.

"Rewards should be given to those who have made contributions and punishments should be given to those who have committed crimes. Only in this way can the morale be corrected and fairness be upheld."

"Based on the severity of the responsibilities of each party, the penalties are as follows!"

Everyone's heart trembled, knowing that the most serious thing had come, and they quickly pricked up their ears, even their breathing held.

"Confiscate the land occupied by the Wind and Thunder Gang in Junle County, and send all the monks under their jurisdiction back to Beichu County. Sentence Mo Yunsou to confinement. Unless he can obtain the status of Yuanying Lord, he will not be allowed to set foot outside Beichu County for the rest of his life!"

Hearing this, everyone had different expressions.

Some people were shocked and felt that this punishment was very severe. However, Lu Qian felt that it was not painful at all, like raising it high and letting it go lightly. The previous decree was very serious, and since Mo Yunsou was not present, Lu Qian thought that Mo Yunsou had been ordered to abandon his cultivation or even commit suicide.

The result was that the Fenglei Gang gave up the occupied territory, and Mo Yunsou issued a house arrest order of a large area. If those who are devoted to the Taoism cannot leave the county, they can just practice honestly. If they fail to practice, they will die of old age at their own mountain gate. Is this a punishment or protection?

In addition, the Qinglian True Sect made the Fenglei Gang take the blame, so they must have given them sufficient compensation, so the Fenglei Gang was willing to take the blame. Otherwise, how would they control their subordinate sects in the future?

"Xuan Jing Zhenren of Shaoyin Sect in Junle County attacked Huanggen Sect out of greed, but was defeated and killed. It was his own fault. Now the center of Junle County, the fourth-level spiritual vein Hanjiangzhu, has been occupied by Yunshan Sect. Shaoyin Sect is no longer able to maintain its dominance over Junle County."

"From now on, Junle County will be governed by Yunshan Sect. The territory confiscated by Fenglei Gang will be transferred to Yunshan Sect, and Shaoyin Sect will become a subordinate sect of Yunshan Sect!"

The Jindan of the Huaiyou Alliance were suddenly startled and a little agitated, but after Xuanjun glanced at them coldly, they had to lower their heads.

Lu Qian was certain in his heart that this was the greatest benefit that the Yunshan Sect could obtain under Xuanjun's conclusion that "everyone was guilty". Junle County was not taken back by Xuanjun, but was led by the Yunshan Sect.

At the same time, Xuanjun’s decree did not mention the Huanggen Sect at all, which seemed to indicate that this was an internal affair of the three-faction alliance, and that the interests of the Huanggen Sect in Junle County would be handled by the Yunshan Sect.

This is already the result of the support of the Spirit Beast Sect, Wild Fox Zen and the favor of Xuanjun himself. It is enough to be able to fight for this. However, I always feel that it will not be so smooth, and there will be some restrictions.

"Now that the Yunshan Sect has taken control of Junle County, it should focus on prospering the county and stabilizing people's livelihood. The crimes of the Shaoyin Sect and other sects in the county have been wiped out. In the future, they must not be persecuted without reason and should be properly resettled."

As expected, he handed over the Shaoyin Sect and its former subordinate sects to the Yunshan Sect, and demanded that the Yunshan Sect stop liquidating the sect and protect their territory and survival.

This is a very troublesome problem for the Yunshan Sect!
You must know that in the battle of Hanjiangzhu, Master Hanmu, Ye Xiao and Wu Yan raided Hanjiangzhu, killed Master Xuanjing, and wiped out most of the defensive foundation-building cultivators, but most of the 1,800 Qi-cultivating cultivators stationed here fled, and only a small number were actually killed.

This has resulted in there being only two people left in the Shaoyin Sect who have established their foundation, but there are still over 1,400 elite Qi practitioners, which is twice as many as the number of elite Qi practitioners in the Yunshan Sect today!
With such a huge number of grassroots cultivators, Shaoyin Sect became a subordinate sect of Yunshan Sect with just one sentence. Even if the cultivators of Shaoyin Sect are intimidated by the power of Yunshan Sect's golden elixir, they must have a lot of hatred and hostility in their hearts, which is a huge hidden danger.

In addition, among the Shaoyin Sect’s original subordinate sects, there were three people who had established their foundation and eight hundred elite Qi-cultivating warriors.

Now all these originally hostile forces have been handed over to the Yunshan Sect for management, and the Yunshan Sect is also required not to settle old crimes and to maintain stability in the county. This is really a hot potato.

If they fail to handle the situation properly, the Yunshan Sect’s rule in Junle County will be difficult to stabilize, and they may even have to withdraw from Junle County in disgrace amid the turmoil.

Lu Qian's mind turned, he calculated quickly in his mind, but a look of gratitude appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Lord Xuan. I will definitely live up to your trust and bring Junle County back to the track of prosperity and peace as soon as possible."

Miaomiao Xuanjun nodded with satisfaction and continued the sentencing.

"Punish all the sects in the Huaiyou Alliance and order them to immediately return the land they occupied during this battle and return to their own counties. The territory of Cheorwon County that Huaiyou County and Qingyuan County previously occupied must also be returned to the Three Factions Alliance."

"At the same time, the Huaiyou Alliance must compensate for the losses caused to the three faction alliances during this battle."

"In addition, the fines imposed on the various sects of the Huaiyou Alliance are as follows."

Now the Jindan of the Huaiyou Alliance were completely relieved. As the important responsible party, they only had to return the occupied territory, compensate the losses of the three-faction alliance, and impose a fine. It was not a big deal, so they were naturally very willing to do so.

Only then did they come to their senses and understand what Xuanjun meant when he said "it will actually reduce the punishment."

"The punishment against the Sikong family has already been carried out and will not be announced any more."

"Sentence Jiyang Villa to be sent back to Xinghu County and fined."

"Punish the three faction alliance to compensate for the losses caused to the Huaiyou Alliance during this battle."

Is this the secondary responsibility that Jiyang Villa and the Three Factions Alliance need to bear?

In general, everyone compensates each other for their losses, and the party that provoked the war will be fined and warned. Jiyang Villa, which temporarily joined the war, was also fined for the crime of "adding fuel to the flames", but the amount of the fine was half of that of the Huaiyou Alliance.

"From now on, both sides will restore the peace situation. No more private attacks are allowed. Violators will be severely punished!"

"This decree!"

Everyone was shocked and realized that the wind had changed.

The situation in which Xuanwei Sect did not control the Jindan Sects in the past has changed. After this judgment, although Miaomiao Xuanjun did not say it explicitly, he has actually weakened the independent attack rights of the Jindan Sects in each county. At least the war involving several counties will definitely be held accountable.

Cangzhou will maintain an overall peaceful situation, recuperate and wait for the war between the two states to come.

Whether you are satisfied or not, you have to carry out the order since you are in Cangzhou.

All the Golden Elixir bowed to the ground together: "We will obey the order of Lord Xuan!"

Miaomiao Xuanjun nodded with satisfaction. (End of this chapter)
