Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Inside the imperial palace.

Wu Tianqiong pondered quietly, his fingers gently stroking the armrest of the chair.

Below, the rulers of the forces that Xizhao Prefecture has submitted to.

They stepped forward one by one to report intelligence from all sides.

Lin Zhuo sat upright, his mind racing, gathering intelligence from all sides.

To prepare in advance for future plans.

Luo Chen learned a lot during his three months of marching, but he was also a bit bored.

Because there are almost never situations where he needs to take action.

Wherever the Da Wu army went, there was no resistance, and all was peaceful.

The army began to defend itself after penetrating three thousand miles.

Because Xizhao Prefecture is quite powerful, and there is a "mountain" within it that stands firm.

After all the parties had finished reporting.

In the main seat.

Wu Tianqiong smiled slightly at everyone.

"Da Wu welcomes everyone to join us."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The group of people from the lower group spoke with gratitude in their voices.

His words and actions exuded even greater respect.

Lin Zhuo nodded, then hesitated before speaking to Wu Tianqiong.

"According to intelligence from the front, the other top-tier forces in Xizhao Prefecture have all gathered at Baifeng Palace."

This statement came out.

Inside the council palace, everyone fell silent.

Bai Feng Palace is undoubtedly the undisputed overlord of Xi Zhao Prefecture.

Even within the entire Nine Provinces, they are among the few top-tier powers.

Only forces possessing martial arts experts at the seventh level of Nirvana can be considered top-tier forces.

During his three months in Xizhao Prefecture, Luo Chen had heard about this power through his surroundings.

The world is divided into nine provinces.

Besides its vast territory, profound history, and special location, which is home to three top-tier powers, the Northern Territory is also unique.

Only in Xizhao Prefecture, Guhua Prefecture, the Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang, and Luoxing Prefecture, where Tianji Pavilion is located, can top-tier forces take root.

"Bai Feng Palace's attitude is ambiguous; they may not be enemies."

Wu Tianqiong had already received news from the Great Wu Rear, and now he spoke to reassure the crowd below.

The former master of Shenfeng Manor, who had just submitted to the government, now had his life and fortune in the hands of Da Wu.

Even though Wu Tianqiong personally killed the prodigy of his faction, he showed no dissatisfaction.

Instead, he spoke up.

"Your Highness, I have met the Palace Master of White Phoenix Palace a few times. He is a quiet and indifferent person and most likely will not pay attention to those forces that come to him for refuge."

Wu Tianqiong said in a deep voice.

"But they did not choose to submit. What our Great Wu wants is unification; neutrality is not within our consideration."

The various forces below looked at each other in bewilderment.

The newly surrendered faction leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I made the right choice.

Da Wu's determination was unwavering, and he was powerful enough to be confident that he could achieve his goal.

Luo Chen listened quietly.

Only after the meeting concluded did he follow Lin Zhuo out of the council palace.

Back to Lin Zhuo's camp.

The two fellow disciples sat upright.

Luo Chen spent a month with him and admired his state of mind.

His cultivation was destroyed, and he fell from being a prodigy in a single day. Instead of despairing, he relied on his willpower to study military strategy.

Even on the battlefield.

Wu Tianqiong will also hand over command to the other party.

"Are you bored in the barracks?"

Lin Zhuo placed a cup of tea in front of Luo Chen and said with a light laugh.

"No, Senior Brother, just give me lots of missions on the battlefield later."

Although life in the military can be monotonous, you can learn real skills there.

Luo Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and offered an awkward explanation.

As the battlefield commander, Lin Zhuo was responsible for troop deployment.

Even if Luo Chen wanted to take action, he had to follow his orders.

On the battlefield, military orders are absolute.

"When the opportunity arises that suits you, I will naturally let you go."

"I think this is one of the reasons why Master sent you to the front lines."

Lin Zhuo could tell that this junior brother was not one to stay put.

Luo Chen nodded reluctantly after hearing the other party's agreement, and then asked.

This second senior brother, Lin Zhuo, had far more information channels and knew more than him.

If there was anything she didn't understand, Luo Chen would still ask him as usual.

"Senior brother, do you think White Phoenix Palace will submit to our Great Wu?"

Lin Zhuo put down his teacup and pondered for a moment.

He gave Luo Chen a surprising answer.

"Definitely!"

Such a confident tone puzzled Luo Chen.

Before he could ask any more questions, Lin Zhuo glanced at Luo Chen with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Master already negotiated with the Palace Master of White Phoenix Palace three days ago!"

"His Highness's attitude just now was meant for those below."

He revealed a previously unpublished secret.

Luo Chen, who had been feeling a bit lazy, sat up a little straighter.

"how?"

Lin Zhuo shook his head gently, his smile deepening.

"Palace Mistress Bai Feng has stated a condition."

"A marriage alliance between the two families!"

Faced with the overwhelming power of Da Wu and the martial will of Long Quan personally arriving at Bai Feng Palace.

The Palace Master of Baifeng Palace eventually compromised.

Luo Chen was surprised and looked at Lin Zhuo with a puzzled expression.

"Why do you look at me like that, senior brother?"

Lin Zhuo smiled faintly. "As Master's disciple, Junior Brother is naturally qualified for marriage."

"I've heard that the daughter of the White Phoenix Palace Master is exceptionally beautiful and a renowned genius."

Luo Chen realized he was joking and didn't take it to heart.

"Bai Feng Palace wants to consider its own future, so it wants to be completely bound to Da Wu."

"His Highness the Prince is the first choice, of course."

Lin Zhuo gently picked up the teacup again and shook his head.

"The eldest prince already has a princess."

"The daughter of the White Phoenix Palace Master cannot be a concubine!"

Luo Chen frowned slightly, pondered it carefully, and felt it made sense.

Wu Tianqiong is already over thirty years old and is about to enter the Dharma Aspect stage.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to have offspring.

Emperor Wu has only had one son to this day for this reason.

They've learned their lesson!

But Luo Chen didn't believe that the Martial Emperor would push this behemoth onto him!

The topic was not pursued further.

The two senior brothers chatted for a while.

Luo Chen bid farewell and left.

He planned to go to the nearby mountains to loot and see if he could encounter a few unlucky demons.

……

The Great Wu Dynasty.

Zhenbei City, the palace where Emperor Wu handled state affairs.

Emperor Wu and Long Quan sat facing each other.

"Your Majesty, this is a token from the Palace Master of White Phoenix Palace."

Long Quan stated the White Phoenix Palace Master's conditions and then waited quietly.

Emperor Wu reached out and took the token, smiling as he spoke.

"Brother Quan, please still call me Big Brother in private."

Long Quan simply shook his head slightly without answering.

Seeing this, Emperor Wu could not dissuade him. He gently stroked the white phoenix jade pendant in his hand and sighed.

"One is at the eighth level of Nirvana, and the other is at the third level of Nirvana. The White Phoenix Palace is enough to make us compromise."

Emperor Wu looked up at Long Quan opposite him and spoke.

"Tianqiong already has a principal wife. I wonder if your beloved disciple would be willing?"

There was no hesitation on Long Quan's serious face.

"Your Majesty, how could Luo Chen agree? The White Phoenix Palace would not allow it either!"

A bitter smile appeared on Emperor Wu's face.

Don't overthink it.

But Emperor Wu did not mention the matter again.

Emperor Wu must have already prepared a response.

"Xizhao Prefecture is now in our grasp."

"The next step is to stabilize all parties involved."

Since the fall of Giant Bear Pass, Tianyu Prefecture has been completely incorporated into the Great Wu territory.

The imperial dragon aura emanating from Emperor Wu is becoming increasingly vigorous!
