Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

Zhao Min's pretty face flushed red, but she still stubbornly said, "My flesh is on my body, I can tremble whenever I want."

"Hahaha~"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was amused by her blustering yet cowardly demeanor.

"Don't be too happy yet. Don't think that everything will be fine just because you defeated my elder brother's 40,000-strong army."

My father, the Prince of Ruyang, held the power of the army and commanded an army of more than a million men.

I think you should surrender sooner rather than later and pledge allegiance to the court. You'll enjoy endless wealth and honor in the future. Wouldn't that be much better than being a rebel?

Despite being a prisoner, she instead tried to persuade Yue Zhuoqun to surrender.

"Your words have reminded me. The Prince of Ruyang is extremely powerful, and you are his precious daughter. Keeping you in his hands would be a considerable bargaining chip."

"Right Envoy Fan, send a message to the Prince of Ruyang, asking him to exchange 100,000 shi of grain and 50,000 sets of armor and weapons for your precious daughter."

Zhao Min's eyes widened: "You, you're really asking for the moon! My father will never agree to your terms."

"If he doesn't agree, then you can forget about leaving."

"The dignified and noble Princess Shaomin must be used to being waited on by servants. From now on, she will serve as my maid and experience what it's like to be a servant!"

Chapter 116 Daisy's Gratitude

In the following days, Yue Zhuoqun reorganized the Ming Cult.

Since the goal is to resist the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, it is no longer feasible to maintain the old system of numerous independent factions.

The Five Elements Flag was renamed the Five Elements Army, which remained five small legions, under the full command of Chang Yuchun.

The four armies of Sharp Metal, Giant Wood, Flood, and Blazing Fire also need to train like the Thick Earth Army, only their equipment and military branches are different.

The Thick Earth Army will not change; it will still use axes and shovels as weapons and possess the combat capabilities of engineers and heavy infantry.

The Ruijin Army has not changed much; it is still equipped with bows, javelins, and throwing axes, and has the ability to fight as an archer.

The Giant Wood Army is equipped with shields, waist knives, and short hammers, serving as a shield-armored corps.

The Fire Army is equipped with armor and spears, and serves as a spearman legion.

The Flood Army will temporarily continue the fighting style of the Five Elements Banner, which uses fire and poison, and will transform into a cavalry legion when they have warhorses later.

The four sects of Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder, along with the followers of the Heavenly Eagle Cult, were also integrated into one army, renamed the Four Symbols Army, and temporarily managed jointly by Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng.

The local branches and rebel armies were also divided into different small corps according to their location, collectively known as the Destroyer Army.

Yue Zhuoqun discovered the presence of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Deng Yu, Hua Yun, and others among the Ming Cult disciples. However, although they had just joined the Ming Cult and had shown remarkable abilities, they had not yet made any significant contributions.

Such talent should not be overlooked.

Xu Da was directly transferred to the Four Symbols Army to serve as Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng's deputy. After a period of transition, the entire Four Symbols Army would be handed over to him for leadership.

Tang He, Hua Yun, Deng Yu, and several others were also promoted.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, Yue Zhuoqun had some hesitation.

This is a man blessed with good fortune; if things aren't handled properly, the Ming Cult could end up helping him conquer the world.

Killing him with a single blow would naturally be the cleanest and most efficient outcome.

However, after careful consideration, Yue Zhuoqun still did not have the intention to kill.

I'm not Zhang Wuji. If I can't even control Zhu Yuanzhang, then I might as well not live.

After applying both kindness and severity to Zhu Yuanzhang, he was given important responsibilities.

This person's abilities, if used well, can produce unexpected results.

Laughing at the world and protecting the Zhu family dynasty, now he should just focus on working hard in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber!

……

As the leader of the cult, Yue Zhuoqun naturally had his own villa, a separate courtyard.

He was sitting in a chair, looking at a piece of cloth.

The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth Technique.

The entrance to the Ming Cult's secret cave was right under his bed in this bedroom, so retrieving the Qiankun Great Shift would be a piece of cake.

The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth is not only a clever method for exerting force, but it can also stimulate the potential within the human body.

Everyone possesses immense hidden power, but it's rarely unleashed in ordinary times, only coming to fruition in emergencies or when emotions are pushed to their limits.

Once this potential is unleashed, even an ordinary person with no strength can move heavy objects weighing thousands of kilograms.

The purpose of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth is to open the doors to these closed potentials, allowing people to use their potential even when they are not in an emergency.

The cultivation method is divided into seven levels, each more profound and difficult to cultivate than the last.

The first six levels are alright; although they are obscure, they are still understandable.

By the seventh level, the language becomes increasingly mysterious, even giving the impression of being deliberately obscure.

This layer clearly touches upon the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, which even the creator may not have fully comprehended; it can only be considered as reasoning and conception.

"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door creaked open, and Dai Qisi entered carrying tea.

"Why are you bringing water? Where is Zhiruo?"

For the past two years, Yue Zhuoqun has kept Zhou Zhiruo by his side, not only teaching her various kinds of knowledge but also passing on his exquisite martial arts skills.

As Zhou Zhiruo grew a little older, she took on the responsibility of serving him tea and water and taking care of his daily needs.

Yue Zhuoqun had advised her that she didn't need to do it herself and could just leave it to the servants.

But the little girl never listened and kept doing it every day, so eventually we just let her be.

Dai Qisi didn't answer, but her eyes lit up as she looked at the cloth in Yue Zhuoqun's hand: "Is this the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?"

Yue Zhuoqun raised an eyebrow: "You're not still eyeing this cultivation technique, are you?"

After Dai Qisi and Han Qianye got married, in order to avoid punishment from the Persian Grand Sect, they tried to steal the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and give it to the Grand Sect to redeem themselves, but unfortunately they failed.

Upon hearing Yue Zhuoqun's question, she panicked and quickly replied, "No way! Master, your skills are unparalleled, how could I dare to even entertain the thought of stealing the cultivation manual... cough cough~"

When he got excited, even his chronic lung condition was aggravated, and he coughed.

Ever since witnessing Yue Zhuoqun's martial arts skills, she hadn't really thought about the Great Shift of the Universe again. After all, as long as she stayed by Yue Zhuoqun's side, it wouldn't matter how many masters she taught.

Of course, all of this depends on Yue Zhuoqun being willing to take action for her.

I came to serve tea today because I wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Yue Zhuoqun.

However, upon seeing the Qiankun Great Shift mental technique, it's inevitable that emotions will fluctuate.

"Your persistent cough must have been caused by damage to your lungs when you went down into the icy pool back then, right?"

When Han Qianye was young, he went to Bright Peak to challenge Yang Dingtian and asked to enter the Cold Pool of Green Water for a martial arts contest.

Even in the sweltering heat, the icy pool was freezing cold, and no one dared to enter it. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was not a strong swimmer; if he entered the pool, he would freeze and drown without even a chance to test his swimming ability.

So Dai Qisi took Yang Dingtian's place and entered the water to defeat Han Qianye, but this also damaged her lungs, leaving her with a chronic illness.

“It’s been many years,” Daisy sighed.

In that battle, she defeated Han Qianye, but also injured her lungs and fell in love with him.

Despite the dissatisfaction of the Ming Cult members, she broke away from the cult and married Han Qianye.

Now that Han Qianye is dead, she is left alive in the world, worrying day and night that the Persian sect will come looking for her and punish her for the crime of losing her virginity.

The bitterness within is indescribable.

Actually, her chronic illness is not incurable; at least Hu Qingniu can cure it.

But she was furious that Hu Qingniu had refused to help Han Qianye in his time of need, so why would she lower herself to beg him again?

Yue Zhuoqun thought for a moment, then took out paper and pen and wrote down a mental cultivation method, handing it to her: "Take this mental cultivation method back and practice it; it can help resolve stubborn lung ailments. It involves many Taoist terms; if you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

He wrote the healing chapter from the Nine Yin Manual.

Dai Qisi's condition is mainly caused by cold air invading her heart and lungs. As long as she slowly heals herself with this mental technique, the problem can be resolved.

"As for the threat from the Persian headquarters, you don't need to worry about it anymore. Now that I've become the leader of the Ming Cult, I will protect you. You don't need to do these things like serving tea and water anymore."

Dai Qisi's body trembled, and gratitude filled her eyes. She hadn't felt this kind of care in many years.

Touched, she accepted the paper and said softly, "Thank you, Master!"

Yue Zhuoqun waved his hand and laughed, "Go ahead!"

After Dai Qisi left, he was about to continue reading the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth mental technique when the long-lost system voice sounded in his mind.
