Chapter 345: Establishing the Kingdom in the Middle-earth, Sweeping the Six Kingdoms, and Destiny Belongs to Me
Peaceful days always pass so quickly that a few months pass by in the blink of an eye.

Fifteen years may seem like a long time, but in reality, it passes in the blink of an eye.

Over the past few months, Lu Mingyuan has discussed with the cabinet many times and finally formulated a policy to establish his rule in China.

To sum it up, there are only eight words.

Win over and divide, strengthen the military and intimidate.

With the current national strength of the Great Yan Dynasty, it is difficult to sustain another large-scale expedition. In addition to maintaining the Great Wall in the north, it is also necessary to resist the covetousness of the demon tribe in the west.

Therefore, in the short term, we can only adopt the method of winning over and dividing.

The best strategy is to attack the enemy’s plans and defeat the enemy without fighting.

Among them, the Nanli Dynasty has already expressed its intention to submit to Dayan, and the Jinwu Kingdom has even re-became a vassal of Dayan.

As for the Sui Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty, the Silver Frost Empire, and the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is weak while the Wu Dynasty is strong on the outside but weak on the inside; they are all targets that can be won over.

The only ones who need to be conquered are actually the Great Sui and Yinshuang.

During this period, a coup d'état took place in the Nanli Dynasty. The Nanli emperor was still old and died suddenly one night. This emperor, who had been in power for sixty years and lived to be nearly a hundred years old, ended his life.

Princess Li Muwan, as the Queen of Nanli, has a very high prestige in the country and ascends the throne to become emperor.

However, what no one expected was.

The new empress of Nanli submitted a letter of allegiance to Dayan on the second day after she ascended the throne.

This news undoubtedly caused a huge uproar.

Many parties were shocked.

The Nanli Dynasty, as a dynasty that has risen in recent years, enjoys extremely high praise among various countries.

Even though one third of the territory was taken away by the wild demon tribe, it could not hinder Nanli's position in the southwest of the Middle-earth.

No one could understand why Li Muwan would submit to the Great Yan Dynasty.

Some people speculated that Lu Mingyuan used some method to intimidate the Nanli Dynasty, so the Nanli Dynasty did not dare to disobey the Emperor of Dayan and could only submit to him.

Others said that Empress Nanli was just a woman who was frightened by the demons, so she had to ask for help from the Great Yan Dynasty. That is why she ignored the safety of the country and tried to survive.

The Great Yan Dynasty naturally agreed to this.

At the same time, the King of Great Yan granted the Nanli Dynasty the privilege of retaining its country's name. While being a vassal, it was required to pay sufficient taxes and treasures every year to pay tribute to the suzerain state and become a vassal state of Great Yan.

This condition has attracted the attention of many countries.

In fact, there are many countries that do not want to be enemies with Dayan.

Who can defeat the Great Yan today?

The Lord of Dayan broke through the realm of Martial Saint, and people all over the world were terrified, fearing that war would come to their country one day.

It would be a good thing if I could keep the country's name and be the ruler of a country without having to worry about being harassed by any war.

In the second year of Longyuan, it was the Jingzhe Festival.

The Song Dynasty became the second target of the demon clan and requested assistance from Dayan.

The Great Yan court threatened to not send troops unless the Mandate of Heaven and the right to pass through the border were surrendered.

Under the attack of the demon army, the Song Dynasty had no choice but to agree.

In fact, the Song Dynasty had already submitted a letter of surrender a year ago, and now they had to submit a letter of submission.

So Lu Mingyuan issued an order, ordering the King of Zhenbei to send troops.

He personally led the army northward and attacked from both sides.

The Zhenbei Iron Cavalry that was advancing westwards will wipe out the demon army that was harassing them.

However, the Shaoxing Emperor of the Song Dynasty was extremely incompetent. He went back on his word, changed his mind halfway, and refused to hand over the mandate of heaven.

In order to teach him a lesson, Lu Mingyuan had to lead a large army to attack Huanglong and head straight for the capital of the Song Dynasty, Hangzhou.

Along the way, they were unstoppable and invincible.

No army is a match for the enemy.

Compared with the simple and majestic Imperial Capital, Hangjing can be called a giant steel city. The city body made of fine steel is dark and shiny.

Lu Mingyuan adopted the strategy of surrounding but not attacking.

Without attacking the city, all the efforts would be wasted. They would just train troops and set up camp outside the city to show off their military power.

As time went on, people in Hangzhou and Beijing naturally became worried.

Half a month later, some people in the city could no longer withstand the pressure and began to spread rumors, speak ill of Emperor Shaoxing, and form their own forces.

Another seven days passed.

That night, someone opened the city gate without authorization to welcome the Lord of Dayan.

Lu Mingyuan led the unstoppable cavalry, attacked the city and headed straight for the imperial palace, without harming the common people.

He could certainly use his great strength to destroy the city walls and force his way in, but doing so would not win the hearts of the people.

Only by using some means can Da Yan stand at the commanding heights and make the monks of the Song Dynasty turn against them and be unable to bear the psychological pressure.

In this way, people will naturally stand on his side.

midnight.

Lu Mingyuan stood in front of the magnificent Song Imperial Palace, gazing at the golden roof and red door of the palace. The antique style gave people a sense of solemnity.

What he has to do today is to destroy this feeling.

"Enter the palace."

Under his airtight helmet, he gave a faint command, and the strong and sturdy imperial guards around him rushed directly into the palace with swords in hand.

The monks from the three academies of Dayan turned into streams of light and rushed out.

The ministers of the Song Dynasty all took action, but they were no match for the soldiers of Dayan.

The towering sword tower, the Dragon-Locking Well in the mountain behind the imperial palace, and the giant puppet created by Mohist mechanical techniques guard the deepest part of the imperial palace.

However, everything was destroyed by a terrifying martial arts aura.

From the sword tower, sword energy flew out one after another, taking the lives of many Dayan soldiers, all of them killed with a single sword.

This sword tower was created by the joint efforts of many military strategists and sword practitioners above the tenth realm. It can absorb the energy of the world and emit sword energy of different powers.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a magnificent and stunning image of General Taotie Heavenly King stood above the imperial palace, and with a "bang" a palm came down.

Large swaths of rolling destructive air currents directly demolished the Glazed Sword Tower and turned it into pieces.

This towering Dharma image looked like a god of war, with golden light flowing in his eyes and a body shape like the angry Vajra of Buddhism, and he drew the long sword from his waist.

"Chichi!"

Flames scorching tens of thousands of degrees swept across the five puppet giants guarding the imperial palace. The black iron on their bodies was roasted red and turned into flowing molten iron, covering the ground.

The boiling molten iron even splashed and injured many of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards.

Lu Mingyuan was standing ten feet in front of the Dharma image, expressionless, holding his sword, and walking forward into the depths of the palace.

Anyone who blocked the road was dealt with by the bronze-masked shadow warriors who kept emerging from the ground.

"Lu Mingyuan, are you really going to do such a cruel thing?"

Emperor Shaoxing was shocked as he saw fewer and fewer people around him. He had not expected that Lu Mingyuan's cultivation had reached such a level.

Thirteenth level of martial arts, Martial Saint.

It is really so terrifying!
"As promised, I will take the destiny myself."

Lu Mingyuan said indifferently.

At this time, Emperor Shaoxing seemed to be stalling for time. He looked up at the sky with a look of surprise in his eyes, and shouted, "Master, please save the Song Dynasty!"

In the night, a ray of light flickered, getting closer and closer, standing upright in the void, overlooking the capital city below. Finally, it gathered into a figure, a middle-aged swordsman wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, with a yin-yang fish tattooed on his chest, which was a Bagua pattern.

Lu Mingyuan suddenly looked up and noticed the arrival of this figure.

The figure obviously also saw Lu Mingyuan, raised his head and narrowed his eyes.

There is always a sense of mutual connection between the strong.

In particular, the aura on Lu Mingyuan's body had not yet dissipated, and his whole body exuded a faint martial arts pressure. There was spiritual light gathering on his bones, emitting golden light.

Therefore, in the eyes of this immortal master, the visitor is a strong enemy.

In the moonlit night in the imperial palace, tens of thousands of people stood in silence on the ground. The sounds of fighting were shocking, and many monks stared at two tiny figures in the void.

The Immortal Master who had rushed over had a terrifying cold sword energy rising from his body, spreading outward from the sky, causing the soldiers of Dayan and the monks of the three academies to feel a tightness in their chests, and they unconsciously took a half step back.

Taoist Xu stood in the air. Although he had already entered the realm of immortals, he was not careless at all. He stretched out his right hand, and a green light condensed in his palm and gradually turned into a crystal clear sword, pointing obliquely at the ground.

The top of the head and shoulders are both condensed with bright and solid golden lotuses.

When the three flowers gather at the top of the head, the great way is achieved.

He directly sacrificed his own natal flying sword and the three flowers on his head, which showed his seriousness.

Seeing this natural spiritual sword and the power it exuded, Lu Mingyuan understood immediately.

The person in front of me is a sword immortal.

He should be the first worshipper at the level of protecting the nation in the Song Dynasty.

After the Qigong practitioner achieves harmony with the Tao, the Taoist Qi and essence will transform into spirit. Only by integrating essence, Qi and spirit can the three flowers be formed. The higher the quality of the three flowers, the stronger the cultivation.

The old sword-master in front of him must be an immortal in the thirteenth realm.

Taoist Xu said calmly, "Your Majesty, why don't you give me, the Red Dragon Son of the Great Red Cave Heaven, a favor. The Song Dynasty will definitely make amends to Dayan afterwards."

"It turns out to be Senior Chilongzi."

When Lu Mingyuan heard the name, he roughly knew the identity of the person.

It is one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Great Red Cave Heaven, famous for its true fire for refining elixirs. Chi Longzi is the leader of the Great Red Cave Heaven. No wonder his cultivation is so high.

When Taoist Xu heard that the other party had heard of his name, his expression relaxed. However, he was not happy for long before he was interrupted by a sentence.

"Chi Longzi, listen carefully. I will only strike once. If you block it and do not retreat, I will withdraw my troops today."

"If not, I want the Song family's destiny. Anyone who stands in my way will be killed."

After saying this, Lu Mingyuan moved his hand that was holding the knife.

In an instant.

All the martial arts holy energy in his body gathered together, and the spiritual holy light in various meridians began to flow rapidly. The [Martial Saint] destiny was activated, and the pure and spotless thunder secrets poured into the cold blade, making the divine sword Zhuxie appear extremely transparent, and the heart, energy and spirit carried by drawing the sword were also united.

Zheng!
The sound of the sword was like the roar of a dragon in the sea. Compared with the Nineteen Dragon Slaying Styles, the sound of this sword was less dull, and the momentum was not as pure, but it had a lot more power!
A hundred times more powerful!
The knife comes out.

It dragged out a very long black sword energy, which was hundreds of meters long. From the ground, it looked like a meteor passing by, illuminating the night sky.

Facing this extremely powerful sword.

For the first time, Taoist Xu was startled and his eyelids twitched.

It can be said that the entire night is a backdrop to this knife.

Even Master Xu had to admit that he didn't have the confidence to deal with Lu Mingyuan's sword with his sword.

Although he had seen countless knife masters, he could not imagine any knife with more momentum than this one.

It is a sword that cuts through the sky, made from a mountain of corpses and blood.

His face was solemn, and with his hands raised, three dazzling golden flowers suddenly appeared, emitting a faint sense of oppression.

Draw your sword brazenly!

Boom! !
The power of the swords collided with each other, a deafening sound was heard, rolling waves of air swept away, and strong winds blew around!

If it was an ordinary sword attack, Chi Longzi might be able to block it, but this sword energy was a hundred times more powerful.

It was very quick and clean, and directly pierced through the leader of the Red Dragon Sect.

Then, endless sword energy fell like rain, sweeping across the entire world.

Chi Longzi was a sword cultivator at the immortal level, but he was still quickly defeated by Lu Mingyuan.

During the long night, Lu Mingyuan held a knife in one hand and opened his palm with the other.

He didn't care about Chi Longzi's life or death.

Ignoring Emperor Shaoxing's astonishment.

He ignored the sounds of fighting between the armies below.

Instead, he was standing on the dragon vein of the Song Dynasty, looking directly at the black water dragon of national destiny before him.

The "Python Swallows the Dragon" fate slowly starts to take effect.

A golden smoke rose from the ground and turned into a scorching sun.

He intended to extract the destiny and fortune of the entire Song Dynasty.

An incomparable feeling of power fills my whole body.

The battle between Lu Mingyuan and Chi Longzi was witnessed by people within a hundred miles. Many cultivators of the Song Dynasty, including the common people, all looked terrified.

Although they didn't know what happened exactly, everyone knew the result.

The Song Dynasty was destined to be defeated by these officers and soldiers who entered the city.

"Oh!"

In the boundless sky, a dark black water dragon appeared completely, illuminating the sky and falling directly on Lu Mingyuan's head.

Lu Mingyuan's tiny body could be said to swallow everything, absorbing this destiny and luck directly into his body.

In an instant, he felt an astonishing sense of pleasure.

Every cell in my body is howling with joy.

With the blessing of good fortune, his energy increased rapidly.

From the middle stage of Martial Saint, he jumped to the late stage of Martial Saint and entered the realm of perfect Martial Saint.

He closed his eyes and took it in.

[Visualize the national destiny of the water dragon, trigger "Observation of Micro", the swordsmanship will be greatly beneficial, and you will master a trace of the mysteries of the sword. ]

"Emperor Orange Fate-Born as a Taoist, the degree of refining has increased to 25%"

"So this is the way of the sword."

Lu Mingyuan looked at Zhu Xie in his hand, thoughtfully.

The way of the sword is the way of moving forward courageously.

Eliminate all the injustice and unfair people in the world.

The state of mind that had troubled him for a long time was finally opened. Lu Mingyuan raised the magic sword Zhuxie and slashed towards the sky.

Then he left without looking back, riding on the wind.

Rumble!
A few seconds after he left, a towering black dragon with a huge beard fell from the void, escaped into the Dragon Locking Well, and collapsed in an instant.

This dragon, which had been kept in captivity by Emperor Shaoxing for hundreds of years, lost its life in vain.

However, this huge sword energy was extremely exaggerated. It flew away with the wind and directly cut off half of the back mountain of the Song Dynasty.

Lu Mingyuan, enters the Tao with one sword!

Emperor Shaoxing fell to the ground, his face full of disbelief, looking at the decapitated dragon head.

My hair turned a lot whiter overnight.
