Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

......

At the request of the Liaodan tribe, Zhao Si, the current leader of the Daxuan rebels, set out from Jizhou and personally traveled to the foreign land of the Northern Desert, accompanied by Lu Zhanfei and He Ren.

They arrived at the territory of the Liaodan tribe, came to the Liaodan capital of Katoer, and entered the Liaodan royal palace...

Zhao Si and others entered the palace hall and saw the person sitting on the throne.

The person sitting on the throne was wearing a crimson royal robe. He had a handsome face and was dressed in luxurious clothes, giving people the feeling of a noble young man. However, the aura he exuded was not to be underestimated. He had the demeanor of a true king.

This person is the current King of Liaodan, Yelu Yan.

Seeing Yelu Yan, Zhao Si was not too polite: "Oh, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Yelu Yan held his chin with one hand and looked at Zhao Si coldly: "Why? You didn't kneel when you saw me, but you didn't even salute?"

"Haha." Zhao Si actually laughed this time, a cold laugh. He looked at Yelu Yan with a look of contempt: "Although Daxuan is dead, you still dared me to pay my respects to you. Where do you get the courage?"

Although the Great Xuan had been destroyed, the remnants of the Great Xuan were living in hiding and darkness. However, the Liaodan tribe was not much better off. Their forces were strictly blocked within the Liaodan territory and could not take a single step forward. The original forces were completely eliminated by the Great Zhou.

Even the previous Liaodan King, Yelu Yunhai, died in the revival war eighteen years ago at the hands of Zhao Yunlong, the former third elder of the God of Wealth Society and the current third leader of the Sky Fox Guard.

It can be said that Daxuan and Liaodan are equally miserable, so no one should look down on anyone else.

Yelu Yan was obviously well aware of this, so he chuckled at this moment: "Haha, just kidding, I didn't expect that even now, Prince Liang is still so arrogant."

Zhao Si's title during the Daxuan period was King of Liang, and Yelu Yan still used this title to address him.

Zhao Si didn't want to waste any more time talking and went straight to the point.

"My lord, I'll speak directly without beating around the bush. Are you content with the status quo?"

"..."

Yelu Yan did not answer, but stared at Zhao Si with deep eyes.

Zhao Si continued, "Right now, our Daxuan forces are being annihilated by those scoundrels of the Great Zhou. While your Liaodan tribe may appear safe and sound, I'm afraid the Great Zhou's surveillance has never been lifted. The vast Liaodan territory has now become a vast prison. Life in prison is like that. I'm afraid you, Your Majesty, must be having a hard time of it."

"So?" Yelu Yan spoke up, then asked, "Prince Liang, you don't think that if we join forces, we can stand up to the Great Zhou, do you?"

The current Liaodan tribe and Daxuan forces are no longer as strong as they used to be.

In terms of military strength, although the Liaodan tribe had tens of thousands of troops, those soldiers were not enough to fill the teeth of the Great Zhou.

In terms of combat power, even if the Liaodan tribe and the remnants of the Great Xuan were combined, their Yang Shen wouldn't even be worth one-fifth of the Great Zhou's. Putting aside other factors, even if the Silver Dragon Guards were deployed in full force, they would likely be enough to wipe out the Yang Shens of both sides.

"hehe."

Despite this predicament, Zhao Si could actually smile: "It all depends on the king now."

"I, it's you, King Liang, who is seeking an alliance with me. Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question? What means do you have to compete with the Great Zhou?"

"I wonder if the king still remembers the blood sacrifice disaster?"

"..."

Yelu Yan fell silent again, his expression seeming to be reminiscing.

A bloody disaster. No adult in the world today is unaware of this catastrophe.

This disaster occurred during the Renaissance War. At that time, the Great Xuan Yang God, also known as Zhao Si, obtained the skills of the Rouran Blood God Yujiulütiti, which is now known as the Blood Sacrifice Method, one of the three great evil skills. This method nourishes the practitioner through the bloody aura of killing, thereby increasing the practitioner's spiritual power. The more blood is killed, the stronger the blood sacrifice power.

After obtaining this technique, Zhao Si gave it to the empress Zhao Tianyue, who then gave it to the Grand Master of Daxuan for modification. That master was none other than Baili Qiankun.

Baili Qiankun modified the basic structure of the blood sacrifice method so that it could also absorb the blood killing energy through the means of formation talismans. In other words, as long as someone was killed within the range of the formation talisman effect, they could be blood sacrificed to nourish the practitioner's evil skills.

At that time, Da Xuan had deployed such formations and talismans almost all over the world.

Then when the Great Zhou officially launched a counterattack against the Great Xuan, the army of the Great Xuan began to massacre the people all over the world. The people were sacrificed in blood and rivers of blood flowed.

In the subsequent decisive battle of the gods' capital, the gods who defended the country of Daxuan were strengthened several times, and each of them could defeat the larger force with a smaller one, so that they had the upper hand when they first fought against the Yang gods of Dazhou.

However, Daxuan's actions were tantamount to making an enemy of the whole world. At that time, all the major sects and vassal states actively responded to the call of Dazhou, and joined in the uprising and launched a war of revival.

The Tianshi Mansion, the God of Wealth Society, the Beggars' Sect, the Divine Constable Sect, and others all joined the Restoration War to help the Great Zhou fight against the Great Xuan. However, many people within the Great Xuan could not tolerate the practice of mass blood sacrifice, and since many of them were former members of the Great Zhou, they basically all rebelled!

Even if one gains the power of the blood sacrifices of millions of people, how can one contend with the entire world?

As a result, nearly half of the twelve guardian gods of Daxuan perished in the Battle of the Divine Capital. The rest either fled or simply defected to Dazhou.

For example, Qin Yuanfang, the White Horse General, one of the Seven Generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was originally the second national god of Daxuan. During the war of revival, he directly rebelled and defected to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Another national god who rebelled with him was Pozhenzi.

Cheng Longjiu and Xu Mengli were also the gods of Daxuan, but they chose to stand by and watch during the war of revival and did not participate at all, which is why they did not die in that battle.

Baili Qiankun, one of the instigators of the blood sacrifice disaster, no one knew what happened to him. No one had seen him during the Battle of the Divine Capital. He disappeared.

As for Zhao Si, he was one of the luckier ones. He was seriously injured in the Battle of Shendu and escaped. Later, he found Lu Zhanfei and He Ren who had also escaped, and reorganized the Daxuan forces, which are now the Daxuan remnants.

This is the blood sacrifice disaster. To put it bluntly, Daxuan massacred the people of the world, hoping to sacrifice them to strengthen its military strength, thus defeating Dazhou. This is why the world hates Daxuan so much. I don't know how many people have a blood feud with Daxuan.

Hearing Zhao Si mention the disaster of blood sacrifice, Yelu Yan naturally thought of the blood sacrifice method.

"King Liang, are you saying that you still have the blood sacrifice?"

"of course."

Zhao Si smiled, a very cold smile, and took out a scroll of martial arts from his sleeve: "This is... our trump card to declare war on the Great Zhou again."
