The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 354 Nandu
Among the stars in the North Sea, there are many Taoist sects.

But what can truly be called the Taoist orthodoxy are the Ten Schools of Immortality, the Three Sects of Immortal Martial Arts, and the Four Great Immortal Dynasties.

Of course, there are also the six sects of the devil, the nine lineages of demon fairies, the ten ancestral gods, and other demon cultivators, evil cultivators, and alien forces. There are also Taoist Lord-level beings behind these forces.

Even though they all have the support of the Taoist Master, different forces have different backgrounds and strengths.

Like the Great Shang Dynasty, there are only 108 states in total, and the number of powerful people in the Shattered Void Realm in the country can be counted on one hand.

On the other hand, the Tiandao Sect, not to mention anything else, has forty-nine states in the southern region alone.

It's the difference in background.

At this time, the fleet led by Tianshang War Hall had already left the Central Region directly under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Gate and entered the Southern Region.

There are forty-nine states in the Southern Region, and each state has hundreds of cities of all sizes, with the number of monks living there ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

Of course, except for the provincial capitals, most cities are often only staffed by a few cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of the Golden Core Realm.

Some underdeveloped small cities are run only by monks at the fifth or sixth level of the Golden Core Realm, namely the Hengguang Realm and the Red Golden Core Realm.

The most central city in the entire southern region is called Nandu.

The capital of the Southern Region.

Not only is this place located in the most central position of the Southern Region, but it also has a teleportation array built in the form of a star gate that can be used to teleport personnel.

Of course, due to the special environment of the North Sea Star, the cost of activating the teleportation array is not small. Depending on the distance, it often takes tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of Pure Yang Pills to activate it once.

Except for Dongxu and a few top Jindan in emergencies, it will never be used.

Even Yaoguang chose to take a warship when he moved the core members of Jiuding Peak to the Southern Region, otherwise...

Not to mention the members of Jiuding Peak, just to teleport the people of Tianshang Battle Hall from the sect to the Southern Region would require at least tens of millions of Pure Yang Pills.

Too uneconomical.

……

"After the development of Sect Leader Song in the past few years, the Southern Region has become a prosperous state second only to the Central Region. Sect Leader Song even expanded the territory and seized thirteen states from the Yinyue Sect, making the Southern Region go from thirty-six states to forty-nine states."

On the warship of Tianshang War Hall, Ling Ruogu and Chi Yu were both on board to accompany them.

As we walked, Ling Ruogu, who was quite familiar with these stories, gave us an introduction.

"Later, Sect Leader Song betrayed the sect. The Sect Master personally led the team, united with the three supreme elders, led the ten major battle halls, and dozens of Dongxu, and finally put down the rebellion. Although this war caused a lot of damage to the vitality of the Southern Region, with the Sect Leader personally taking over the Southern Region and vigorously developing it, it has recovered over the years. Currently, except for the nine states bordering the Yinyue Sect, which are occasionally in war, the other forty states are all thriving."

He looked at the city that kept passing by below him. When he thought that the Ling family would also multiply and grow in this land in the future, his eyes could not help but be filled with joy: "Today, there are 430 million cultivators in the 49 states of the Southern Region. It is prosperous, and almost every state has a Dongxu sitting in it, which is as solid as a rock."

"Is there a Dongxu in charge of every state?"

Yaoguang was somewhat surprised after hearing this: "There are so many Dongxu in the sect?"

"That's not the case. Some of these Dongxu are directly under the sect, while the other part are affiliated forces of the sect."

"Affiliated forces?"

Yaoguang was a little surprised.

"Yes, these affiliated forces depend on our Tiandao Sect for survival. Tiandao Sect will not kill them all, nor will it interfere too much in the states they belong to, as long as they pay enough taxes on time every year."

Ling Ruogu said, and added with a smile: "Of course, if they cause any unpopularity in their state, we at Tiandao Sect will not stand idly by."

"Is this okay?"

"This system is only implemented in some poor and backward states where no Dongxu elders are willing to go. Those states that are slightly richer and have local assets are all controlled by our own Dongxu elders."

Chi Yu on the side interrupted and said, "Moreover, when the sect needs to conquer various places, and those regions do not have much benefit, the first ones to be summoned are the Dongxu of these affiliated forces."

Yaoguang thought of Yunzhou, where the Jiuding Sect had settled when they first came to Beihai Star.

The nature of the two is probably similar.

This kind of force is basically equivalent to the cannon fodder raised by the Tiandao Sect.

Yaoguang did not dwell too much on these affiliated forces at the moment, and directly asked: "Have you investigated all the forces in Nandu?"

"We have found out that it is basically controlled by the Lu family, the Li family, the Jing family, and Wu Changfeng, who has Zong Wenxian standing behind him. The four largest resource points in the Southern Region are also controlled by these four families."

Ling Ruogu pointed his hand, and a group of mountains and hills appeared in front of Yaoguang. "Among them, the Lu family controls the production of Tongxuan Spiritual Liquid, the Li family controls the cultivation of Changsheng Fruit, the Jing family controls the Worry-Free Grass, and Wu Changfeng, who represents the sect master, is responsible for the collection of Immortal Refined Gold."

"Tongxuan Spiritual Liquid, Longevity Fruit, Worry-free Grass, Immortal Gold."

Yaoguang had naturally heard of these natural treasures.

Tongxuan Lingye is a rare item for practicing Jindan Realm. It can greatly reduce the danger of going from Jindan Realm to Tianhuo Realm, from Tianhuo Realm to Hengguang Realm, and from Hengguang Realm to condensing red golden elixir.

It has a wide range of adaptability.

The longevity fruit is just as its name suggests, simple and violent, and can prolong life.

Fruits from different years can extend life by decades or even hundreds of years.

Worry-free grass is the main material for refining the Worry-free Pill, which is extremely useful in subduing one's inner demons.

Immortal refined gold is a panacea-like carrier that is compatible with all kinds of Taoist instrument materials and is one of the indispensable adhesive materials for casting Taoist instruments.

Just from these four resource points, the income brought to the sect each period is no less than 8 million Pure Yang Pills.

"Behind the Lu family and the Li family are the two peak masters Lu Wanshi and Li Baijie, right?"

Yaoguang stretched out his hand towards Wanliugui: "Where is their gift list?"

"At this."

Wan Liugui quickly took out the gift list and said, "At your Lianxu celebration banquet, the Lu family gave a blood jade coral, which is worth about 45 Pure Yang Pills, and the Li family gave a golden toad cub, which is worth about 50 Pure Yang Pills."

"45, 50..."

Yaoguang took a look. The value of the gifts was similar to those given by other peak masters and vice-masters in the Refining Void Realm.

But the problem is that if he goes to the Southern Region, he will become the boss of the two families. Giving gifts to his boss is the same as giving gifts to other people...

That's a bit tactless.

"Go to Nandu first. Within half a month, if these two families do not express any other opinions, you two families will be responsible for taking over the mining and planting of Tongxuan Spiritual Liquid and Changsheng Fruit."

Yaoguang Road.

"Yes."

Ling Ruogu and Chi Yu both looked surprised.

During the exchange, Nandu was already within reach.

The entire Nandu covers an area of ​​30,000 miles.

Countless attics, courtyards, palaces, mountains, rivers, and lakes fill the earth. From time to time, you can see formations emitting colorful light, illuminating the surroundings.

Urban areas with a large number of busy streets and intertwined houses are basically inhabited by small-time people who make a living locally.

Each attic, courtyard, and palace complex represents a small family or force.

If one could build a palace, dig a spiritual canal, and build a lake, he would be a wealthy man. And those who stood at the top would undoubtedly occupy one or even several mountains, and cover an area of ​​hundreds or thousands of miles.

And in the most central location of these buildings and mountains, or in other words, the place with the most spiritual energy in this area, are towering mountains.

A large number of tall towers have been built on some mountain peaks, reaching deep into the clouds.

These towers are assisted by special formations, emitting light that covers the surrounding mountains. When necessary, they can even cover the entire Nandu.

It can be said that the extent of the array's coverage represents the extent of Nandu.

"This is the Tiandu Dragon Slaying Formation, a thirteenth-level formation! The centerpiece of the formation is a genuine Taoist weapon. If it is presided over by Lianxu, even if a single Shattered Void falls into it, there is a risk of death."

Qi Sha also showed his presence at this time: "This is the most powerful formation in Nandu, or in the entire Southern Region. Once we move into the Southern Region Lord's Mansion, we will be able to control this formation in our hands."

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Yaoguang chuckled.

The huge fleet directly landed over the Southern Region.

As the capital of a region, there should be a constant flow of people, but when the fleet arrived here, it found it quite deserted.

The entire southern region seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

"Master, something is wrong..."

Qi Sha said immediately.

"Are you trying to intimidate us?"

Yaoguang said calmly, "Stupid."

Ling Ruogu, who was standing by, seemed to understand what Yaoguang meant and said, "What cultivators value most is their own strength, so they also consider this aspect when doing things. When powerful countries encounter problems, they often ask first: where is our army, rather than using peaceful and reasonable means to solve the problem."

"Using this method to solve the problem only proves that they think they are the powerful party. This is their stupidity."

Yaoguang Road.

But that's true. He is a newcomer to the realm of refining emptiness and has no foundation. The people from Nandu are trying to scare him in this way. What if it works and scares him away?

Maybe they feel that there is nothing to lose by trying it once?
Just at this moment, a group of dozens of people suddenly appeared.

Looking at this huge fleet, the leading Dongxu War Immortal's eyes flickered a little, but he still said quickly: "Not long ago, the Yinyue evil demon caused chaos. In order to conduct a detailed investigation, there is a no-fly zone ahead! All warships are not allowed to..."

"You are in the Southern Region, yet you dare to stop the warship of the Lord of the Southern Region, Qi Sha..."

Yaoguang said.

After receiving the instructions, Qi Sha jumped into the air without any hesitation and drew his sword in an instant.

"The Lord of the Southern Territory has come in person, yet you dare to be disrespectful? You must be executed!"

The aura of destruction permeated his body, instantly stirring up a torrent of annihilation, and eventually forming a sword energy that seemed to be able to destroy everything, and it slashed towards the leading Cave Void War Immortal.

"Great annihilation sword energy!"

The Dongxu War Immortal let out a panicked cry.

He never expected that the other party would attack him without even waiting for him to finish his words.

and……

The person who attacked immediately killed him! ?

Violent energy suddenly emanated from him, and the combat power of this Void War Immortal rose to over 600 million in one breath. However, facing Qi Sha's unreserved strength...

But he didn't have time to resist the sharp edge of the Great Annihilation Sword Energy.

"Boom!"

As the pure force of destruction exploded, the Cave Void War Immortal, his fully mobilized Chaos Cave, and dozens of cultivators around him were all swallowed up by the Great Annihilation Sword Energy.

"Enemy attack!"

The next moment, a shrill alarm sounded over Nandu.

Immediately afterwards, the Tiandu Dragon-Slaying Formation, which was said to be so powerful that even Suixu would find it difficult to escape, began to operate rapidly, as if it was about to enter a defensive state.

Seeing this, Yaoguang waved his hand.

Wan Liugui, who had rehearsed this scene, immediately waved his hand and said, "The fleet retreats! Nandu dared to attack the main fleet of the Southern Region. It must be the remnants of the past who are trying to repeat the rebellion! Quickly return to the sect to report to the Supreme Elders Council and mobilize the army to suppress the rebellion! This time, massacre the city and exterminate the clan! No one will be spared!"
