Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

When the cultivators of Black Dragon City discovered that the Flying Rainbow Immortal Ship had returned, they were all extremely nervous.

Although the Flying Rainbow Immortal Boat had just left, none of the cultivators present dared to make any rash moves. They knew that if they dared to escape, they would likely face certain death.

Now that their path forward and their path back are blocked, their only way to survive is to seek refuge with the Great Xia Dynasty.

Most cultivators in the cultivation world have relatively low loyalty to their sects. Of course, there are also sects with strong cohesion, but the forces in the Misty World obviously don't have much cohesion.

As the Flying Rainbow Immortal Boat slowly flew over Black Dragon City, some deacons from the Spirit Fox Sect's flying boat immediately descended from the sky, flew directly to the city gate of Black Dragon City on their swords, and then knelt down.

"The Spirit Fox Sect wishes to pledge allegiance to Your Majesty! We are ready to serve Your Majesty! We hope Your Majesty will accept us!"

No sooner had the deacons of the Spirit Fox Sect finished speaking than a majestic voice rang out from the sky, "Granted!"

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators of the Spirit Fox Sect immediately shouted in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live ...

Seeing that the Spirit Fox Sect had already pledged allegiance to the Great Xia Dynasty, the forces under the Bewitching Immortal Sect could no longer sit still. Although they belonged to the Bewitching Immortal Sect, they had been swallowed up by it, and they did not want to be destroyed along with the Bewitching Immortal Sect.

Soon, the leaders of the various factions under the Misty Immortal Sect stepped forward, intending to follow the example of the Spirit Fox Sect and directly pledge allegiance to the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, before those cultivators could step forward, a purple afterimage flashed across the sky, and a moment later, Su Hanyan appeared outside Black Dragon City.

Seeing that Su Hanyan had returned, the people of the main sect of the Mi Xian Sect were relieved. For them, after Han Yuankai's betrayal, Su Hanyan was their pillar of support.

If something were to happen to Su Hanyan again, then all the cultivators who had followed Han Yuankai away from the Misty Immortal Sect would completely disperse.

After arriving outside the gates of Black Dragon City, Su Hanyan bowed to the flying rainbow-colored immortal ship in the sky, saying, "The Misty Immortal Sect wishes to pledge allegiance to the Great Xia Dynasty and serve Your Majesty. From this day forward, the Misty Immortal Sect will obey all orders of the Great Xia Dynasty. We hope Your Majesty will accept us!"

Seeing that Su Hanyan had taken the initiative to say this, the cultivators from the forces under the Misty Immortal Sect breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Misty Immortal Sect had also surrendered, so they should be safe now.

As Su Hanyan finished speaking, a majestic voice once again echoed from the sky.

"allow!"

Su Hanyan immediately took the lead and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

All the cultivators of the Misty Immortal Sect also knelt down and bowed to Lu Chen, following Su Hanyan.

Sect cultivators are generally quite arrogant. They usually look down on secular dynasties, and some cultivators who go to secular dynasties also act superior.

However, all the cultivators present understood that the Great Xia Dynasty was not a secular dynasty at all, but a cultivation dynasty, and that it was not shameful for them to surrender to the Great Xia Dynasty.

In some advanced cultivation worlds, there are also cultivation dynasties established by cultivation families. Cultivation dynasties often have a strong restraining effect on the sects and forces within their territory. Some cultivators in the Misty World come from such cultivation dynasties.

For most cultivators, there isn't much difference between being managed by the Great Xia Dynasty and being managed by a sect. The only downside might be that there are more rules and less freedom, but that's still better than losing your life.

Even the great demon Han Yuankai was no match for Emperor Xia after using the Bloodthirsty Array, so these cultivators were even less of a match for Emperor Xia.

Surrendering means losing half the battle; there's no shame in that.

Lu Chen stood at the bow of the flying boat, glancing at the flying boat in the sky and the cultivators in the misty world. Most of the cultivators were not very loyal, which was to be expected.

It's okay if loyalty isn't high right now; loyalty can be increased.

Now that the forces of the Misty World have all surrendered to the Great Xia Dynasty, the next question is how to deal with these forces.

The Great Xia Dynasty disbanded all sects except for the Xuan Yue Palace a few years ago. Although those sects continue to exist in other forms, such as companies, they no longer have such strong independence.

Now that so many forces have suddenly appeared in the Misty World, those forces have been nominally swallowed up by the three major forces, but they are not fully integrated internally and are still a disorganized mess.

If these forces are allowed to continue existing in the form of sects, the troubles of sects may arise again in a few years.

However, if all sects and forces are disbanded, these cultivators will lose their restraint. The Great Xia Dynasty currently does not have clear legislation governing cultivators, and it is also difficult for the Great Xia Dynasty to manage all cultivators at present.

How to deal with these cultivators in the Misty World is a difficult problem for Lu Chen.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen decided to let these sects continue to be affiliated with the three major powers, and deal with the matter after he came up with a suitable solution.

Having witnessed the elimination of the upper-level cultivators of the Misty Immortal Sect and the Spirit Fox Sect by the Great Xia Dynasty, these cultivators in the Misty World dared not do anything for a short period of time.

After realizing that nothing was wrong, Lu Chen summoned the high-ranking elders of the Myriad Immortals Sect to the Immortal Boat Council Hall.

When Ji Hongwen and the others came into such close contact with Lu Chen for the first time, they were all incredibly excited. They had already made contact with Lu Chen, but today was the first time they had seen their Emperor.

Ji Hongwen, leading the elders, bowed to Lu Chen and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen said calmly, "Get up, all of you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up and looked at Lu Chen, who said with a smile, "Sect Leader Ji, thank you for your hard work over the years."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Hongwen quickly replied, "This is what I should do."

Lu Chen continued, "Now that the biggest threats to the Misty World have been resolved, the cultivators of the Misty World have become a problem. Sect Master Ji, do you have any way to arrange for these cultivators?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, the elders present also fell into deep thought. Indeed, for the Great Xia at this time, the biggest problem was how to handle the relationship between cultivators and ordinary people.

If cultivators were allowed to freely enter ordinary people's cities, some of them might continue to act arrogantly due to past bad habits, causing a lot of trouble for ordinary people.

After thinking for a while, Ji Hongwen said, "Your Majesty, please forgive my ignorance, but I cannot think of a good solution at the moment."

"However, I think it is possible to temporarily separate the Misty Immortal Sect and the Spirit Fox Sect, and to divide the former Black Dragon County area among various forces in the Misty World, strictly prohibiting them from entering other counties of the Great Xia Dynasty without permission."

"Of course, what I've suggested is only a temporary solution."

Lu Chen thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea. He could put all the forces in the Misty World in one area, and then select those loyal cultivators to enter the Heavenly Chen World. At that time, he could build an even more powerful War Dragon Army.

There are countless Celestials in the Misty World. In the future, when the War Dragon Army expands outwards, it can directly use Celestials in battle. Celestials can control rune weapons and maximize the power of the rune weapons.

Lu Chen said, "Sect Leader Ji's method is good. Then we will leave the matter of settling those forces in the Misty World to Sect Leader Ji and the Myriad Immortals Sect."

Ji Hongwen immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Lu Chen continued, "From now on, the order of the cultivator gathering area will also be maintained by the Wanxian Sect. If there are still any ignorant cultivators who think of going to other counties to bully others, I don't need to say more about how to deal with them."

Ji Hongwen continued, "Your subordinate understands. Your subordinate will certainly manage the sect forces in the Misty World well, ensuring that those cultivators dare not leave the former Black Dragon County." (End of this chapter)
