The State of Affairs Within Dagan
"Could it be that Marquis Tianwu is coming to Cangshui?"
Qin Xiaosheng looked at Venerable Gengjin with a hint of fervor. Now, only Marquis Tianwu Xiang Tiange was still unemployed; the other four had all gone to the Northern Border.
Upon hearing Qin Xiaosheng's words, the Venerable Gengjin couldn't help but roll her eyes. Of course, she was only frustrated by Qin Xiaosheng's thoughtless words, not by the burning gaze he was giving her.
She knew very well that among those who came from the military in Great Feng, who didn't have absolute admiration for that Marquis Tianwu, even to the point of fanaticism and blind trust? But how could Xiang Tiange possibly come out at this time?
"I'm annoyed," said Venerable Gengjin.
"What are you thinking? Why would Marquis Tianwu leave Fengtian City? The Great Feng Imperial Clan has recalled Marquis Dingjun from the Northern Border, and an elder of the Huangfu clan will also be coming."
Qin Xiaosheng, who was standing to the side, suddenly remembered this and said with a hint of embarrassment.
"Venerable Gengjin, I understand. I will now go and arrange matters in the army. Farewell."
After saying that, Qin Xiaosheng turned and left. His steps were swift, and he had already used his lightness skill, as if he were fleeing in panic. His departing face showed a hint of unnaturalness and annoyance.
These days, after suffering so many defeats, he's lost his mind and his brain isn't working properly. He's only thinking about the arrival of strong reinforcements, and in a moment of carelessness, he's forgotten that Marquis Tianwu could never leave Fengtian City.
Since the last Battle of Cangshui, when Marquis Tianwu led his army across the Cangshui and achieved numerous military exploits, which were known to all, and he even broke through to the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it was destined that he would never be able to do what he did before.
At the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, one has a perfect understanding of the Heavenly Dao and one's own Dao, which resonate with each other. One is only one step away from breaking through to the Heavenly Being Realm, but that one step is an insurmountable chasm.
Reaching this level meant that Marquis Tianwu was destined to live under the surveillance of the Imperial Clan for the rest of his life. He could not leave Fengtian City, and the Imperial Clan would not allow him to leave. He was a genius, but the more talented one is, the less likely it is to happen.
I'd rather rot in my own hands than let someone else do it.
It wasn't just Marquis Tianwu Xiang Tiange, nor was it just his Great Feng; the four kingdoms of the world were all like this. In these bygone years, how many peerless heroes were trapped in one place, left only to slowly await the arrival of death.
Just like the Stone Buddha Dagan a thousand years ago, did the Stone Buddha born in Cloud Province Jingzhou?
The land of Dagan thirteen provinces is so vast, why would anyone insist on establishing their sect outside the Dagan Tiandu City of Capital?
Is the feng shui of Vertical Light Mountain really that good?
When those peerless geniuses reach that level, sometimes things are beyond their control. Only the top powers oversee the mortal world, and they dictate all resources, rules, and order.
Not long after Qin Xiaosheng left, two figures instantly appeared beside Venerable Gengjin. Both of them looked like old men. One was dressed in white with bright eyes, and the other was dressed in black with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Appearing before Venerable Gengjin, the two spoke in unison.
"I have met Venerable Gengjin."
The Venerable Gengjin was not surprised by their appearance. These two were the closest people to the Cangshui within the Great Feng territory. Looking at them, the Venerable Gengjin spoke softly.
"There's no need for such formalities, you two! Sect Master Gu, Cliff Master Hun, what is it you wish to say?"
The two who came here were Gu Ji from the Lieyang Sect and Hun Xuzi Suo Hun Cliff, two powerful experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Venerable Gengjin's attitude towards these two was exactly the same as his attitude towards Qin Xiaosheng before, remaining calm and indifferent.
Gu Ji and Hun Xuzi didn't care about her attitude towards them. As the current leader of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect and the head of the Five Elements Venerables, this woman had the right to be so indifferent.
Her status was equal to that of the two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, and could even be said to be above them.
Hearing this person get straight to the point, Hun Xuzi replied with a hint of uncertainty.
"Venerable Gengjin, what's the situation with the Imperial Clan? What about this battle?"
The situation of the Great Feng Imperial Clan had already spread far and wide. Four Celestial Phenomenon Realm and one Heavenly Being Realm had died. Their heads had been directly hung on Fengtian City by Yuan Tiangang from the Heaven Beyond Heaven. It couldn't be hidden, it simply couldn't be hidden.
Unless the Great Feng Imperial Clan slaughters everyone in Fengtian City, leaving no one alive, which is obviously impossible.
The recent wars fought by the Great Feng Imperial Clan have shaken the very foundation of the nation. Most of the Imperial Clan's personnel have gone to the Northern Border, although I just heard that some Imperial Clan members will be arriving.
But everyone knows that bringing people over from the Northern Border is only a temporary measure; the Great Feng Imperial Clan is already stretched thin.
It is clear that the Battle of Cangshui was not led by the Great Feng Imperial Clan.
Although Hun Xuzi hadn't finished speaking, none of the people present were fools; they all understood what he meant. Venerable Gengjin said firmly.
"I understand what you mean, don't worry! The territory that my Great Feng has acquired, you can't take away."
"Dagan is indeed very strong, but that's Dagan, not the Chu family. The Dagan Imperial Clan's situation is not even as good as my Great Feng Imperial Clan's. In this battle, besides the Chu family, only the Li Family will send some people, so it's fine."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ji, Hun Xuzi, and the others around them nodded. They understood what he meant. Just like when they attacked Cangshui more than a hundred years ago, apart from the Imperial Clan and the Li Family contributing, the other two families completely ignored them.
The Venerable Gengjin turned to look at the surging Cang River of the Cangjiang River, his thoughts as varied as the flowing water.
Is it Dagan great things?
Without a doubt, within a country, the four top powers are naturally strong. Looking at the four countries in the world, Dagan is also ranked first, and no one refutes or questions it.
However, everyone knows the situation within the Dagan region. Having many powerful forces and strong individuals is not always a good thing. The top four forces have too many disputes and infighting, making it difficult for them to come together.
I look down on you, and you don't like me either. This person has a grudge against that person, and that person wishes they could wipe out the other.
The Imperial Clan Chu clan was always wary of the Xuantian Dao Sect, feeling that this force was too well hidden and did not reveal itself to the world. It was their number one target, and they did a lot of things to trip it up.
The Xuantian Dao Sect also disapproved of the Chu Imperial Clan's actions. Furthermore, they believed in eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, and they hated the Three Demon Mountain. The Xuantian Dao Sect wished they could exterminate all the evil cults and the Three Demon Mountain.
The Three Demon Mountain, on the other hand, harbored hatred for the Chu Imperial Clan and the Li Family. Since the Li Family first appeared in the world, the Three Demon Mountain had intended to take advantage of the Li Family's weakness and destroy them. However, they were tricked by the Chu Imperial Clan and the Li Family and were almost wiped out.
With this deep-seated blood feud, the hatred that the Three Demon Mountain harbored towards the Dagan Imperial Clan and the Li Family even surpassed their hostility towards the Xuantian Dao Sect.
But relying solely on the Three Demon Mountain is definitely not enough. Everyone in the world knows that only the Three Demon Mountain dares to openly contact the three major evil cults and even gather together. Their evil ways are rampant!
Then there's the last top-tier power in the Dagan Dynasty, the Li Family. As the most immature top-tier power in the Dagan Chu Imperial Clan's intervention at the beginning, it would have been wiped out by the Three Demon Mountain long ago.
The Chu Imperial Clan probably wanted to use the Li Family's appearance to break the internal deadlock. They even went so far as to destroy the Three Demon Mountain, but the Li family survived, which made things difficult for them.
The Li Family, on the other hand, wanted to rely on the protection of the Chu family to get through their difficult period and grow and develop steadily. Therefore, the Li Family had always been on a nearly united front with the Dagan Imperial Clan, and at that time they could be considered the Dagan Imperial Clan's little brother.
