You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 397 We urge the Sect Master to avenge the four elders.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Li Si and Du Ruhui, along with several other ministers, have already left.

The alliance with the other nine dynasties was not as simple as some ministers thought—it was merely about persuading the other dynasties to unite with the Great Zhou to deal with the imperial dynasty.

If the goal was simply to unite with the other nine dynasties to oppose the imperial dynasty, that would be virtually impossible.

After all, the other dynasties weren't fools either. Who would join forces with the Great Zhou to fight against the imperial dynasty? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Unless, they've gone mad.

Zhou Chen's true intention in forming alliances and counter-alliances was to annex the other nine dynasties.

Only in this way can the power of the other nine dynasties be fully integrated and used to strengthen oneself in order to deal with the imperial dynasty.

At the same time, it also prevents these dynasties from taking advantage of the situation to kick the Great Zhou while it is down and threatening the Great Zhou.

Zhou Chen stood up and slowly walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Looking at the gray sky, Zhou Chen's gaze was deep.

As long as the other nine dynasties are annexed, the fortunes of the Great Zhou will increase dramatically.

At that time, the Great Zhou will not only be able to command the strongmen of the other nine dynasties to deal with the Imperial Dynasty, but will also be able to recruit even stronger talents.

Zhou Chen discovered that the stronger the nation's fortune, the stronger the ability to produce outstanding individuals through signing in.

In other words.

The fate of the nation is not only related to the speed at which Zhou Chen cultivates the Emperor's Conferred God Technique, but also to the strength of the outstanding individuals he signs in each month.

"Yang Zaixing and the other two should have arrived in Dayan and Dayue by now!"

Zhou Chen gazed at the sky, lost in thought.

……

Great Yan.

royal palace.

Inside the council chamber.

Fang Xuanling, Han Xin, Huo Qubing, Zhao Yun, Pei Yuanqing, and others sat facing each other.

After this period of cleanup and suppression, the entire Great Yan is basically under their control.

Whether they were local officials or defeated soldiers, they had all submitted petitions to surrender and obey their unified decrees.

Meanwhile, Huo Qubing, Zhao Yun, and other generals also saw their strength increase significantly after securing the resources of the entire Great Yan.

Inside the main hall, besides Fang Xuanling and Han Xin, there were also Yang Zaixing and Long Ju, two invincible half-saints.

Yang Zaixing and Long Qi came under orders.

The goal, of course, was to annex the other seven dynasties.

Han Xin glanced at the crowd and said, "Gentlemen, you have all heard His Majesty's decree, haven't you?"

"This time, our main focus is not on destroying the enemy, but on control."

"Furthermore, we don't have much time. We must take over the other dynasties in a short period of time with overwhelming force."

"Therefore, we don't need to mobilize too many troops; we only need to select some strong experts and powerful individuals."

Yang Zaixing and Long Ju brought an imperial decree: to conquer the other seven dynasties.

With Yang Zaixing and Long Ju, two invincible demigods, taking action, Han Xin knew that they didn't need any troops at all.

As long as Yang Zaixing and Long Qie suppress the top experts of other dynasties, controlling other dynasties will not be a problem.

All they had to do was select some powerful experts to work with Yang Zaixing and Long Qie.

Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed, and he nodded; "Then gather all the experts above the peak of life and death within the Great Yan and give them orders!"

Fang Xuanling's words made Han Xin and the others present noticeably brighten up.

Obviously.

Han Xin and the others understood Fang Xuanling's meaning.

"Then let's do it this way."

Han Xin nodded.

Huo Qubing and the others had no objections.

……at the same time.

Lü Bu also came to Dayue with the same imperial decree.

In the main hall of the imperial palace, Zhou Yu, Xiao He, Gao Shun, Taishi Ci, and others gathered to discuss this matter.

In order to quickly annex the other dynasties through alliances and counter-alliances, Zhou Chen dispatched three invincible semi-saints: Lü Bu, Yang Zaixing, and Long Ju.

With Lu Bu and the other two invincible demigods taking action, Zhou Chen believed that annexing the remaining seven dynasties would be no problem at all.

……

When Zhou Chen issued an order to Lü Bu and his forces to prepare to annex other dynasties.

The second elder of the Qingyun Sect also fled back to the Qingyun Sect.

Inside the sect's main hall.

The sect leader of Qingyun Sect sat upright in the main seat, looking at the pale-faced Second Elder, and asked, "Second Elder, what exactly happened?"

Who hurt you?

"Of the five elders, why is it that only you have returned?"

The elders sitting on both sides below were all staring straight at the Second Elder.

After learning of the incident involving the Second Elder and his group, the Qingyun Sect dispatched people to the Great Zhou.

However, the Second Elder had already returned as soon as the people he sent left.

The sect leader and several elders of the Qingyun Sect were puzzled as to what powerful enemy the Second Elder and the others had encountered that caused the deaths of four half-saint elders.

"Sect Master, it was the Great Zhou. The other four elders all died at the hands of the Great Zhou, and only I escaped back."

“We have all underestimated the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou does not only have one invincible half-saint, but four invincible half-saints.”

"Furthermore, each of them possesses formidable combat power, capable of fighting beyond their level. Of the nine half-saints from the Ziyang Sect, only the Grand Elder of the Ziyang Sect and I escaped; the others perished in the Great Zhou Dynasty..."

The second elder recounted the events, his pale face still showing signs of lingering fear.

Thinking back to his previous battle with Lü Bu, if it weren't for another elder standing in front of him and saving his life, he would probably be reporting to the King of Hell by now.

what?
Upon hearing the Second Elder's words, the other elders present were all taken aback.

Four invincible demigods?

The Great Zhou actually has four invincible demigods?
The elders present were extremely surprised.

None of them expected that the Great Zhou would have four invincible demigods.

Wasn't the Great Zhou Dynasty an indigenous dynasty that had only recently merged into the Great Wilderness?

How could there possibly be four invincible demigods?

What shocked the elders present the most was that the five elders of their Qingyun Sect and the four elders of the Ziyang Sect joined forces.

Four invincible demigods and five advanced demigods.

In the end, they couldn't even defeat the three invincible demigods of the Great Zhou.

Instead, they lost seven semi-saint elders, and only two escaped.

This result shocked the elders present.

Only the Qingyun Sect Master, seated in the main seat, showed little change in expression, though his brows were furrowed.

"Second Elder, does this mean the other four elders all died at the hands of those three invincible demigods from the Great Zhou?"

The sect leader of Qingyun Sect looked at the second elder and asked.

"Yes, Sect Master."

"I urge the sect leader to ask the Supreme Elder to take action and destroy the Great Zhou to avenge the four elders."

The Second Elder nodded and said with resentment.

Four semi-saint elders died in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even he returned severely injured, barely escaping with his life.

The invincible demigod elder even saved his life, dying in the process.

How could we not avenge this?

The other elders present also came to their senses, and all of them had ugly faces and gloomy eyes.
