Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 249 Arrangement and Overall Planning

Zhu Ge looked up.

It was Sui Niang and those shamans from the great tribes who had reached the Body-Nourishing Realm!

"Yes! Sui-niang!"

Zhu Ge smiled and stood up.

Sui Niang and several men, women, and children landed.

The leader was an old woman.

"Silver Witch, thank you very much this time," Zhu Ge said, cupping his hands in thanks.

This silver shaman is a shaman from Sui Niang's Yi tribe.

Sui Niang originally came from a small tribe, which was part of a larger tribal group.

Zhu Ge encountered Tong Zhen when she rescued the city. At the time, Zhu Ge did not know whether Tong Zhen was friend or foe, so she did not reveal any information about Sui Niang.

In fact, Sui Niang had already been found by Hua Liusha, and through this, the shamans of various tribes were connected, which led to the final destruction of the ancient shamanic formation that eliminated the Red Rice Immortal.

"Zhuge, you have rid our Honghe Prefecture of a great scourge!" Sui Niang's face was covered in tears.

In fact, the root of all this was that plague.

Even without the plague, the gentleman would not have left.

It's even possible that the previous Jingzhe official wouldn't have died.

The tragedy of Sui Niang's family is just a microcosm of the tragedy in Jianshan Village.

Jianshan Village is merely a microcosm of Honghe Prefecture and Yunjiang.

On a larger scale, tragedies are happening all over the world.

"Yes, Zhuge, all our tribes thank you!" the old woman said with a smile. "You have rid us of a great scourge. Our tribes will follow your leadership, join the Six Paths Palace, and fight for you."

As she spoke, the old woman bowed slightly.

The others did the same, each with a respectful expression.

Although it was only the third realm, Zhu Ge completely won them over this time.

Even someone as shrewd and calculating as Hongmi Daxian, who had been planning for decades, was defeated by Zhu Ge's scheme.

Even if these people unite, it would probably be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Therefore, they had planned it out in advance.

If Zhuge wins, then he will just have to submit to the Six Paths Palace.

After all, Zhu Ge's goal was to rule Honghe Prefecture and annex the southern Vietnamese and Burmese wilderness.

Decades or even centuries ago, this would have caused a stir in the court and among the people, with a large army pressing in.

but now?

Each region is too busy to care about its own problems, and no one will pay attention to what is happening in a border area.

To be honest, chaotic times are also the ideal world for heroes and ambitious people.

There was another thing these witch clans were considering: Zhu Ge was also practicing witchcraft.

"We haven't had a Great Shaman for many years," the old woman sighed, continuing from where she left off. "We only hope that after you become a Great Shaman, you, Lord Zhuge, can help us."

Great Wizard!

Zhu Ge nodded slightly upon hearing this: "I understand. If I have a way to advance, I will definitely use my clone to tell you all."

How difficult it is to reach the level of a great master!

Not to mention the great shaman.

A shaman communicates with heaven and earth, spirits and gods, the sun and moon, mountains and rivers, and all living beings.

However, most shamans today only possess the skills to control fire, insects, and water.

It's just imperial.

It's like using a lighter to light a fire versus being able to breathe fire yourself.

Ancient shamanism was the ability to communicate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and unleash flames.

But the current practice of witchcraft cannot do that.

The same applies to the ancient witchcraft and its associated practices.

The ancient great shaman transformed into an insect and became one with it, unlike now, who is so clumsy and can only manipulate insects.

However, Zhu Ge's memories from the Bone Monster's clone were incomplete, and he didn't know how the ancient witchcraft was practiced. He could only take it one step at a time.

After all, these shamanic tribes have been in decline for hundreds of years without anyone breaking through to the Great Realm, and Zhu Ge wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he could help them break through.

"Sui Niang, what are your plans for the future?" Zhu Ge asked Sui Niang.

Sui Niang smiled faintly: "After Xian Xian left, I had no more worries. Now I only want to study witchcraft well and travel the world in the future, using my witch fire to burn away all injustices."

Zhu Ge nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Then we'll take our leave now," the old woman said with a smile. "We'll go back and make some preparations, and then bring the able-bodied men of our clan to gather here."

Farewell with a song of blessing.

Then, something went wrong with my own Six Paths Palace.

Yu Xiucai took the lead, bringing Zhao Tieshan and others in a grand procession.

After such a period of fighting, these soldiers of the Six Paths Palace are no longer as green as they used to be.

Although they cannot be called a battle-hardened army, they are all elite veterans.

Many people who originally had no cultivation now possess the strength of the Resentment Realm.

Many Confucian scholars also made breakthroughs.

"Zhu Ge!" Yu Xiucai smiled broadly, his white hair flying wildly, looking extremely handsome.

Unfortunately, while his hair was handsome, his body was covered in blood and torn, making him look rather disheveled.

"Scholar!"

Zhu Ge nodded slightly, her face full of relaxed smiles.

The battle for Yuanyang City will inevitably end.

However, at this time, those third and second realm cultivators who originally lived in Yuanyang City stayed in the city to oversee the reconstruction and post-disaster recovery.

Of course, Zhu Ge knew that many people in Yuanyang City would still find it hard to accept what had happened with Hongmi Daxian.

So they simply stopped appearing.

"Zhu Ge, where do we go next?" Ji Fuhui asked expectantly.

Zhu Ge smiled and said, "I'll tell you about the arrangements later—"

Thus began Zhu Ge's long process of planning and strategizing.

Thanks to the Kunpeng and the Spider, he has always maintained his own rhythm and arrangements for the Six Paths Palace.

First and foremost, the original system of officials under the city lord cannot be followed.

Instead, they should be distinguished.

For example, the taxes levied in Honghe Prefecture were completely exempted, while only a small amount of tax was collected.

There are also people who organize farmers to practice farming techniques, and spring and summer plowing begins everywhere.

Agriculture, water conservancy, systems, the military—each and every aspect was arranged systematically by Zhu Ge.

With the help of Liu Jianjian and Ma Zhu, the city lords of various cities also arrived at Six Valleys.

And after learning the general outline of what had happened, they all expressed their submission.

Then came internal stability and external conquest.

Internal stability is of utmost importance, so Zhu Ge directly left several demon clansmen from the Third Realm to patrol the Six Paths Palace.

Whenever a village or settlement inhabited by humans is discovered to be invaded, the evil spirits, demons, and deities causing the disturbance are killed on the spot.

This ensures the most basic peace, because those in the Three Realms possess consciousness.

The demon beasts that are taken in and refined by the "Demon Hunting Divine Technique" will also obey Liu Jianjian's orders.

The remaining troops were personally led by Yu Xiucai to fight in the southern Vietnam and Myanmar wilderness. Yan Liyuan and others, as well as various city lords, also joined the army.

With no fighting in Honghe Prefecture, the city lords no longer need to be confined to their cities to protect the people.

The strength of the Three Realms can play a significant role in the Southern Yue and Myanmar wilderness.

Meanwhile, the Bone Monster's clones were stationed in the Six Paths Valley, handling important messages and matters from various places and cities, and training more soldiers, warriors, and Confucian scholars.

Only after everything was arranged did the True Lord of Oblivion awaken.

Achoo!!!

After the True Lord of Annihilation sneezed seven or eight times, Zhu Ge finally confirmed it.

The True Lord of Oblivion has caught a cold.

"Never mind whether I have a cold or not, Zhu Ge, come quick! This Redmi Immortal left behind some good stuff!!"
