Journey to the head

The Sikong family's manifesto has three meanings.

One is to declare that the rule of the Xuanwei School has come to an end.

The manifesto said that since the Xuanwei Sect came to govern Cangzhou, it had failed to maintain friendly relations with its neighbors and had instead engaged in frequent wars. A large number of talented people in the state had died tragically in the wars, ruining a great path. The various sects were unable to prosper and develop, and the few remaining sects that had finally gained some vitality were destroyed by the Xuanwei Sect's wars.

He failed to do a good job of educating and mediating internally, and used "stop fighting orders" and other means to arbitrarily reduce the power of various sects, and even ignored the law that Jindan had been governing the county independently since ancient times. In the next step, the internal affairs of each sect will be interfered with, and they will gradually lose their independent status.

Not only did internal and external governance fail, but even within the Xuanwei Sect there were numerous contradictions, numerous factions, fierce infighting, corrupt customs, and an extremely negative influence.

As the lord, Miaomiao has no ambition and is short-sighted. He is complacent in playing with power, and his checks and balances are childish and ridiculous. He is hesitant and indecisive. He cannot seize even the godsend opportunities. He is truly unworthy of being the lord of Cangzhou!

Miaomiao Xuanjun's virtue is not worthy of his position, so Cangzhou has suffered disasters one after another. First, there was the disaster of the arrival of a real dragon, and then there was the disaster of the banned religion causing chaos. It is obvious that he has been hated by heaven and people, and has lost the blessing of heaven!

Today, Xuanjun, the triumphant ruler of Tianming, has been promoted successfully. This is a blessing from heaven and is popularly welcomed. He will surely lead Cangzhou to an even brighter and more glorious future.

Second, he firmly denied all the crimes that the Xuanwei faction had put on the Sikong family, and firmly refuted the absurd accusation that the Sikong family was in cahoots with the corpse clan.

The Sikong family has always been conscientious in fulfilling their duties, quietly guarding the southeastern border of Cangzhou, and making great contributions to the peace, stability, prosperity and development of the province.

However, the Xuanwei faction was terrified by the rapid development of the Sikong family and worried that the Sikong family would threaten their rule. Therefore, they broke their promise to protect Cangzhou and brazenly took action against the capable generals in the state.

The purpose of starting the war this time was to eliminate dissidents, frame loyal officials, and plant false evidence against the Sikong family in an attempt to eliminate the Sikong family in order to achieve the goal of dominating Cangzhou.

When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns. Now it is the Sikong family, and the next one is the Spirit Beast Sect and the Qinglian True Sect!

The third is to grant an official position and make a wish. The various sects in Cangzhou were either deceived by the Xuanwei Sect or coerced by the Xuanwei Sect. They participated in the wrong battle at the wrong time with the wrong intentions. The Sikong family expressed their understanding, and Kaixuan Xuanjun would never blame them.

All sects can set things right at any time and all previous misunderstandings can be cleared up.

Now that Xuanwei Sect has launched an unprovoked war, the Sikong family has no choice but to overthrow Xuanwei Sect's rule for the sake of Cangzhou's future. Anyone who is willing to stand on the side of the righteous Sikong family, or even just remain neutral in this war, will be rewarded after the war.

For example, the Lingshou Sect can be granted the title of Southwest Pacification Envoy, which, in addition to military leadership over the southwestern counties, also allows them to enjoy preferential treatment in trade taxes.

Qinglian Zhenzong can be granted the title of Northeast Pacification Envoy.

The Yunshan Sect will receive spiritual treasures as a reward from the Sikong family, and will ensure that Tian Yuanzi advances to the Nascent Soul stage.

……

"Enough!" Miaomiao Xuanjun shouted angrily, and violent spiritual pressure flashed through the hall like a hurricane. The tables and furnishings in front of everyone exploded. The Jindan people felt the heavy pressure on their bodies and couldn't help but tremble.

The cultivators of Xuanwei Sect were extremely angry about the contents of the manifesto, and were also terrified by Miaomiao Xuanjun's fury. For a moment, everyone was speechless, and the hall was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Miaomiao Xuanjun had already stood up from his seat, his face twisted with anger, his face livid. The attacks from the Sikong family on him were like steel needles piercing deep into his heart.

He could imagine how serious an impact such a manifesto would have on the reputation and image of the Xuanwei School and himself if it were circulated in Cangzhou and other places!
They are complacent in playing with power, their checks and balances are childish and ridiculous, they are hesitant and indecisive... It was so painful that Miaomiao Xuanjun seemed to see the sneers on the faces of the cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect, the Qinglian True Sect, and various sects in the state when they read this manifesto!
Since he achieved the Yuan Shen, who dared to do this! This was like shitting on his head!
"Despicable traitor! Shameless villain!" Miaomiao Xuanjun's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a few complete words. He roared, feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath, blood rushing to his heart, and even his soul was shaking.

"Raise the army quickly! I will crush the Sikong family into dust and hang Sikong Sheng's head for public display!!"

Miaomiao Xuanjun was furious, and the Xuanwei people were terrified and anxious. Qiancheng Lingjun gritted his teeth and said, "Xuanjun..."

"Lord Xuan, this is the enemy's plan to disrupt the morale of our army. Please calm down your rage and listen to me." Lu Qian suddenly stepped out of the crowd and bowed.

Without waiting for Miaomiao Xuanjun to respond, Lu Qian said loudly: "The treasonous and false edict is all nonsense, not a single word of it can be trusted!"

"After Qingzhou lost its precious treasure, it took its anger out on Cangzhou and sent troops to attack. Xuanwei led the heroes of the state to defend against the enemy, protect the territory and the people, and endured huge losses and made great sacrifices. Their contributions and hard work are worthy of being remembered."

"In recent years, we have been unlucky and have been plagued by disasters from the Heavenly Sovereign. These are natural disasters. Xuanwei Sect has done its best to put out fires everywhere. Not only has it saved Cangzhou from destruction, but it has also prayed to the Immortal Sect to allow Cangzhou to be deported, allowing it to recuperate and enjoy three hundred years of peace."

"It takes so much effort and hard work, and it's hard to tell others about it!"

Miaomiao Xuanjun's complexion recovered, his breathing became smoother, and his chest was no longer stuffy. His eyes were shining, and he urged Lu Qian eagerly: "Go on!"

Lu Qian smiled and bowed to everyone around him.

"As for the dirty water thrown at Xuan Jun personally... You must know that Xuanwei Sect has many talented people and many loyal followers. Qiancheng Ling Jun is decisive and resourceful, Qingyuan Sanren is mature and steady, Lingxuan Ling Jun is smart and extraordinary, and Yichen Ling Jun is a rising star. When planning things, we should naturally listen to the advice of all parties and gather the strengths of all parties. Can we still act arbitrarily and listen to only one side?"

"So the so-called hesitation of the thieves is actually a long-term plan, and the so-called indecision is actually a thorough consideration. And the so-called playing with power and checks and balances are actually the way of being a king who is impartial and holds the middle ground!"

In a flash, Miaomiao Xuanjun appeared in front of Lu Qian and held his hands tightly.

His face flushed, his expression was excited, tears seemed to be flashing in his eyes, and he held Lu Qian's hand and shook it up and down: "Tian Yuanzi knows me, Tian Yuanzi knows me!"

Lu Qian said solemnly: "It was not easy for Cangzhou to gain stability for three hundred years, but the Sikong family was not only ungrateful, but also colluded with evildoers to commit rebellion, causing war in the state and fighting among themselves. This is really a heinous crime!"

"Now, in order to plot to control Cangzhou, they have turned black into white and framed me. I am just speaking for justice, and all righteous people will do the same."

"Xuan Jun, don't worry. The Sikong family is doing evil things. Anyone can kill them. They won't be able to run rampant for long!"

Miao Miao Xuan Jun was extremely pleased: "With a pillar like Tian Yuanzi, my faction will surely win, and justice will surely prevail!"

Wiping his eyes, he turned around and said to Qiancheng Lingjun: "Tianyuanzi's rebuttal is concise and powerful, and it hits the nail on the head! You should quickly write it down, print it out, and send it to people in and outside the state. I want to ruthlessly tear apart the rumors of the Sikong family!"

Qiancheng Lingjun nodded. Lu Qian smiled and said, "I was angry and spoke frankly, so I'll have to trouble you to correct my mistakes. Let's write together a "Xuanwei Sect's Letter to All States to Suppress the Rebellion and Suppress the Demons". Not only will we use our own intelligence channels, but we will also spread it through Plum Blossom House, Frost Leaf House, Never-Sleeping City, Taobao House and other major markets. We can also use the channels of Haiyuan Pavilion, which will definitely create an overwhelming momentum."

"At the same time, in this article, we also need to list the various crimes of the Sikong family. Of course, we have to write about colluding with corpse demons, being willing to be a lackey of the demons to cause chaos in the prefectures, and capturing monks for corpse demons in exchange for rewards to increase their strength. We also have to target Sikong Sheng himself and write about all the dirty things he has done."

"Something like a three-year-old boy peeping at women taking a bath, a four-year-old boy forcing women to peeping at him taking a bath, etc., just process it appropriately. The plot must be bizarre, the language must be exaggerated, and we will write what the audience likes to see."

Qian Cheng Ling Jun asked cautiously: "Isn't this too outrageous?"

"It has to be outrageous. To deal with the enemy's rumors, it is not enough to just refute them. We have to make up a thousand rumors and make them known to everyone. In this way, the general public will only watch the fun and forget the previous rumors." "This is called fighting poison with poison. In the war of public opinion, can we still lose to the Sikong family?"

Qian Cheng Ling Jun was sincerely convinced: "Master Lu, this is a great plan. I appreciate your advice."

"Right!" Miaomiao Xuanjun clapped his hands and praised, "Write! Write it vigorously! You must write that Sikong Sheng is vulgar, narrow-minded, arrogant, has strong limbs, a simple mind, big breasts and no brains."

After letting out a breath of anger, Miaomiao Xuanjun patted Lu Qian's shoulder heavily.

"Tian Yuanzi, you have done another great service for my sect, especially for clearing my bad name. I want to thank you very much."

Lu Qian thanked him repeatedly, but Miaomiao Xuanjun waved his hand and said: "Such merits deserve generous rewards, especially during a war. Let other sects see the style of our Xuanwei Sect. We will never treat meritorious officials unfairly."

"So, I heard earlier that you invited famous craftsmen and artisans to build a new type of airship?"

"Your Lingxu Zhenyuan Boat is only an elite-level one. It's good for small fights, but it's definitely not enough for a big war. It's far behind in both carrying capacity and marching speed."

"I will give you a commander-class airship for my own use, called the Huaiyuan Kangji Fighting Ship, which should be able to meet your needs."

Lu Qian looked up in surprise. Miaomiao Xuanjun had already ordered Yichen Lingjun to notify Xiyishan and take out the drawings and send them to Mianlong.

"This ship can reach a full speed of 1,500 miles per hour and can carry 400 monks. You can study the other armaments on your own."

Its escape speed is only inferior to that of the Golden Core, and its carrying capacity is also extraordinary. With this commander-class airship, the Yunshan Sect's long-distance delivery capability and strategic deterrence have made a qualitative leap!

This is such a pleasant surprise!
In recent years, Lord Xuan has become more generous. Although it is a bit tiring to assist such a monarch, it is not that difficult to accept.

No matter what, the Xuanwei Sect must not fall down now. The Yunshan Sect still needs the big tree of Xuanwei Sect to shelter it from wind and rain and develop stably.

Lu Qian thanked Miaomiao Xuanjun again and again, creating a harmonious scene between the monarch and his subjects.

After Miao Miao Xuan Jun sat down, Lu Qian continued to advise: "The traitor Sikong slandered and framed us, and tempted us with huge profits. Although all factions will laugh it off at the moment, this is based on the huge advantage we have."

"It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Once the war drags on for a long time and the two sides reach a stalemate, people's hearts will inevitably become uneasy. Some people may even be confused and follow the rebels, causing bitter consequences."

"Therefore, although we have suffered heavy losses in this round of conquest, we must not hesitate to move forward. We must continue to forge ahead bravely and quickly eliminate the Sikong family and the evil spirits of the corpse clan!"

Miaomiao Xuanjun nodded: "Tianyuanzi is right. Besides, although we have suffered some losses due to the failure of intelligence, the Sikong family has not been without cost."

When he said this, Yichen Lingjun bowed again, confessed his guilt, and asked for punishment.

Miao Miao Xuan Jun's face darkened slightly: "This time, your intelligence was wrong, which caused our army to lose soldiers and generals. You are guilty of a serious crime! But it is really hard to predict that the lurking spy would be controlled by the corpse demon. Besides, now is the time to use people when the two armies are fighting. You should confess your sins and repent, serve well, and work hard to make up for your mistakes. I will deal with you after the war!"

Yichen Lingjun bowed down and thanked Xuanjun for his magnanimity. Lu Qian noticed that most of the cultivators from the "Wild Fox Zen" and "Hermit" sects watched coldly, and it seemed that they had long expected that Xuanjun would not really punish the "house-born child" severely.

"Qiancheng, tell me about our achievements."

Qiancheng Lingjun continued reading the battle report: "After counting and confirmation, in this battle, our factions killed four Jindan members of the Sikong family, severely injured two, killed and severely injured more than fifty foundation-building members of the Sikong family, and the number of Qi training members is still being counted."

"In addition, there is another important achievement." Qiancheng Lingjun looked excited, "The Taoist Xichan from the Spirit Beast Sect killed Sikong Yuanying in the battle formation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was amazed.

Killing one enemy Yuanying is better than killing ten Jindan!

Comparing the results of the battle between the two sides, we are actually not at a disadvantage.

Unexpectedly, the one who achieved the greatest results in this battle was the newly promoted Yuanying Taoist Xichan from the Spirit Beast Sect. Everyone was amazed.

Lu Qian smiled in his heart. Others didn't know, but he knew that there was another Meng Zhenzi in the body of Taoist Xichan.

And this Meng Zhenzi should also have his own spirit beast.

The Taoist Xichan plus the alien golden toad, Meng Zhenzi plus the unknown spirit beast, the four Nascent Soul level combat forces are integrated into one, which is equivalent to the Taoist Xichan, who possesses a total of twelve magical powers!
Moreover, as a Nascent Soul Spirit Lord, he does not have to switch back and forth between different magical powers like Lu Qian or Lin Le, but can use several magical powers at the same time.

If we assume something more extreme, and if we do not consider the consumption of spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy, and the conflicts between the magical powers, Taoist Xichan can stack twelve magical powers!
Hiss, it’s amazing just to think about it.

He is said to be a newly promoted Nascent Soul, but in fact, below the Nascent Soul stage, he is probably already invincible!

It is not surprising at all that the enemy's Nascent Soul was killed directly when it was caught off guard.

Miaomiao Xuanjun deliberately allowed everyone to discuss in order to boost morale. After a while, he stopped the topic and said that it was a great achievement for the Spirit Beast Sect, and he also gave a special reward to Taoist Xichan himself to set an example.

Finally, Qiancheng Lingjun summarized and organized the combat power information of the Sikong family and made a report.

"According to battlefield reports from various places, as well as the intelligence from our remaining informants in the Sikong family, we have currently estimated and analyzed that the remaining combat power of the Sikong family is as follows."

"Sikong Sheng, the new Yuanshen."

"The four Nascent Souls are Sikong Shengji, Sikong Yang, Sikong Qing, and Sikong Yan."

"There are about forty Jindan Zhenren."

"The number of people who have established their foundation is around 400 to 500."

"It's hard to count the elite Qi practitioners, but we roughly estimate that there are around 30,000 of them."

He paused for a moment and said, "If we don't count the corpse demon that never showed up, we still have a huge advantage!" (End of this chapter)
