The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"No, the Yellow Heaven Annihilation Formation cannot be used lightly."

"This is one of the biggest trump cards of our Yellow Heaven Sect."

"If we use the Yellow Heaven Annihilation Formation, we will suffer heavy losses with our current strength."

"Even if we kill Dugu Fifteen, we will still lose a large number of Huangtian Warriors."

Has the vacancy left by Li Hanchuan been filled?

Jiang Wufeng shook his head and looked at Xiao Zhenting, asking a question.

He had been in seclusion for many years, basically ignoring worldly affairs, and Xiao Zhenting handled all the affairs of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

After all, he was the previous leader and elder of the Yellow Heaven Sect, not the current leader.

The current leader is Xiao Zhenting.

He only knew that one of the thirty-six Yellow Heaven Divine Generals that the Yellow Heaven Sect had painstakingly cultivated had been lost.

"Reporting to Master, we have filled the vacancy of Li Hanchuan. Although it consumed a lot of faith power, we have finally completed the thirty-six Yellow Heaven Divine Generals."

Xiao Zhenting said with a respectful expression.

"It's good that it's all in place."

"I'm going to heal my wounds."

"Your cultivation level, the Thirty-Six Yellow Heavenly Generals, the Four Great Dharma Kings, and the remaining Holy Sons all need to be improved with the help of the power of faith."

"Our Yellow Heaven Sect has been lying low for so many years, accumulating the power of faith, all for this day."

"You must reach the peak of the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm."

"The Four Great Dharma Kings have cultivated in seclusion for many years and have already reached the peak of the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm. Let them use the power of faith to step into the Profound Immortal Realm."

"The strength of the thirty-six Yellow Heavenly Generals must also reach the first level of True Immortal Realm."

"All of you holy sons are capable of reaching the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm."

Jiang Wufeng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said solemnly.

Indeed, the cultivation level of the four Dharma Kings of the Yellow Heaven Sect has long since reached the True Immortal Realm, not just the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Because the four great Dharma Kings of the Yellow Heaven Sect were not actually of Xiao Zhenting's generation, but of Jiang Wufeng's generation.

Although his cultivation level cannot compare with Jiang Wufeng's, he has reached the peak of the first level of the True Immortal Realm. Now, with the arrival of the Great Contest, his cultivation level has naturally reached the peak of the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm.

"Master, isn't this too much of a drain on your energy...?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenting's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected Jiang Wufeng to expend so much faith power on improving their cultivation level.

In particular, raising the cultivation level of the four Dharma Kings from the peak of the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm to the Profound Immortal Realm requires an immense amount of faith power, far exceeding the combined power required to raise the cultivation levels of all the others.

"Our Huangtian Sect is currently lacking a large number of experts, so we must make this arrangement."

"Even if it requires consuming a large amount of faith power, it must be done this way."

"Our Yellow Heaven Sect now only has Jizhou left. If we don't have enough strength..."

"We will surely lose even the land of Ji Province."

"If we cannot hold onto Jizhou, it will be even more difficult for us to gather faith."

"As long as Jizhou exists, we can collect a large amount of faith power every day with just this one province."

"This is our foundation."

"Not only them, but even the elders of our Yellow Heaven Sect will be rewarded with a certain amount of faith power to help them reach the realm of Celestial Immortals."

Jiang Wufeng waved his hand and said to Xiao Zhenting.

"Yes, disciple understands."

Xiao Zhenting's expression turned solemn, and he spoke in a firm and powerful voice.

"Alright, I'm going to heal my wounds now."

"Dugu Shiwu is right, I am almost at the end of my life."

"If he had continued to attack, I would be dead by now."

“If it weren’t for the power of faith that our Yellow Heaven Sect possesses, my injuries would have taken decades, or even hundreds of years, to heal.”

Jiang Wufeng sighed and disappeared into the sky.

After watching Jiang Wufeng leave, Xiao Zhenting smiled bitterly and issued an order to summon the Four Great Dharma Kings, the Thirty-Six Divine Generals, and all his disciples.

An hour later.

The capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The main hall of the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.

"Greetings to the Marquis."

Ximen Jue and the others bowed respectfully to Chu Xiu, who was sitting in the main seat of the Jinyiwei headquarters.

Ximen Jue, Fang Heng, Pei Shiji, Luo Tianxi, Lin Huaiyu, and Yang Cheng are all here.

Apart from Master Wuque, the monk who kills, and Monk Wuhua, the two of them stayed in Chenliu County to protect Yu Wenyuan.

Of course, even if Master Wuque and Monk Wuhua were in the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, Chu Xiu would not allow them to come over.

They themselves don't like dealing with these things.

"No need to be polite."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said to Ximen Jue and the others.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Ximen Jue and the others spoke with utmost respect.

"I have summoned you all here for two matters."

"The first thing is to concentrate all of our Jinyiwei's training resources to cultivate our Jinyiwei elites."

"This 'one Jinyiwei' refers to more than nine thousand people."

"This also includes the six additional thousand-household units added to the three major guard units of our Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"There are more than 15,000 people in total. We must have sufficient resources to improve their cultivation level as much as possible."

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Ximen Jue, I'm entrusting this matter to you. Yang Cheng will cooperate."

Any cultivation resources that are unavailable will be purchased from Changchun Pavilion at any cost.

During this period, we have razed the ancestral land of the Yang family in Hongnong and the Heavenly Sword Sect, and we must make use of the wealth we have obtained.

Moreover, the cultivation resources obtained from the ancestral land of the Yang family in Hongnong and the Heavenly Sword Sect were also readily available.

If we don't have enough, we'll buy it from Changchun Pavilion.

That's right, the elite force of the three major guards of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was not more than 8,000, but more than 9,000.

This includes more than 9,000 people, not including the six newly added thousand-household stations.

Chu Xiu did not bring all the elite troops of the three major guards this time, but only more than 8,000 people. He left behind 1,000 elite Jinyiwei to train the more than 6,000 people from the six additional thousand-household units, so that they could integrate into the three major guards as soon as possible.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ximen Jue and Yang Cheng spoke with solemn expressions.

They naturally knew that with the arrival of a great era of contention, the strength of their Embroidered Uniform Guard had to be enhanced.

Yang Cheng was in charge of more than just the Dragon Tiger Bath within the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

All the training resources for the Embroidered Uniform Guard were under Yang Cheng's control.

"Fang Heng, Pei Shiji, and Luo Tianxi, the three of you will each be in charge of your respective Jingtian Guard, Jingxian Guard, and Jingshen Guard."

"You can selectively lead the three Great Guards to eliminate the mountain strongholds within the territory of our Great Zhou Dynasty for military training."

After a moment's consideration, Chu Xiu said to Fang Heng and the other two in a deep voice, "I grant you the right to act as you see fit. Even if it is an ordinary sect, if it violates the laws of our Great Zhou Dynasty, it shall be destroyed."

I have only one requirement for you: you must raise the cultivation level of your elite troops to a higher level in the shortest possible time!

Our current killing formation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is no longer sufficient.

Ultimately, it's because our Embroidered Uniform Guard isn't strong enough!

"If you are strong enough, with our Killing Blade Formation, we can still suppress any powerful enemy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Heng and the other two knelt down before Chu Xiu and spoke in a firm and resounding voice.

"Get up."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Now let's talk about the second thing!"

Fang Heng and the other two slowly stood up, and everyone's eyes turned to Chu Xiu, wondering what the second matter was about.
