Enforce Through Killing

Zhang Yang was somewhat surprised; the Cloud Soaring Merchant Association had actually merged into the Azure Moon Merchant Association?

So, Cloud Soaring's Azure Moon Merchant Association will achieve its goal soon?

Situ Haonan continued to complain, "And how could your Azure Cloud Sect print my daughter's image in the Azure Cloud Gazette?"

This is what he really wanted to complain about.

"This is for the sake of creating a ripple effect!" Zhang Yang explained.

Regardless, since the father asked about this, he has to give an explanation.

"I need to spread the Azure Cloud Gazette to other continents as quickly as possible." Zhang Yang's expression turned serious. "This matter concerns whether we can continue to live peacefully twenty years from now."

I'm not joking with you all; this is why I'm determined to unify the Azure Cloud Continent.

From now on, everyone on the Azure Cloud Continent must unite as one to overcome this calamity.

In fact, we had already experienced a danger not long ago, but we managed to avert it in the end."

When it comes to serious matters, Situ Haonan has no time to dwell on those trivial things.

Although he had heard of calamities, he did not know what they were.

Also, what should Cloud Soaring do?

"Master, what do you need our Cloud Mountain Empire to do?" Li Xiaojie looked at Zhang Yang. "Master, please rest assured, our Cloud Mountain Empire guarantees 100% cooperation in this operation."

Zhang Yang nodded to Li Xiaojie with satisfaction and instructed, "The first thing your Cloud Mountain Empire needs to do is to govern the Cloud Mountain Empire well."

I don't care how you govern, but you must prevent the population from declining.

This is the absolute bottom line.

Talent is always the greatest productive force.

The second thing the Cloud Mountain Empire needs to do is cooperate in the construction of the Azure Moon Merchant Association."

At this point, he glanced at the emperors of the two empires and continued, "The purpose of establishing the Azure Moon Merchant Association is not to plunder the assets of your Great Emperor Realm, but to spread Cultivation Resources to more people using cheaper resources."

Only in this way can we discover more talents in the Immortal Cultivation.

Of course, those who have a lot of resources will eventually be consumed by the Azure Moon Merchant Association.

The goods from the Azure Moon Merchant Association didn't come for free.

As long as we do our best to take from the people and use it for the people, that's enough.

Therefore, after you return, you must vigorously promote the Azure Moon Merchant Association of Commerce's plans.

I can foresee that the rise of the Azure Moon Merchant Association will shake the interests of many people, and there will definitely be people within your empire who will cause trouble for the Azure Moon Merchant Association.

You'll have to figure this out yourselves.

If you can't solve it, then I will.

My solution is usually simple and direct: to make them disappear.

The expressions of the two emperors, Cloud Mountain and Cloud Soaring, as well as Situ Haonan, all became solemn.

They all knew that the situation Zhang Yang described was very likely to exist.

After all, many Lineage within the empire are also involved in business guilds.

How could these people not have objections to the emergence of the Azure Moon Merchant Association?

"Master, even with the Flying Dragon Army and experts like Eunuch Hong, I'm afraid we still can't handle this situation," Li Xiaojie said in a deep voice. "These Immortal Cultivation Aristocratic Clan are not weak!"

Emperor Cloud Soaring, Situ Guangyuan, hurriedly added, "Yes, it would be very troublesome if these Lineage secretly made some underhanded moves."

Many times, we cannot simply suppress them with force; otherwise, no one will be doing the work of the empire.

Zhang Yang smiled faintly, "The reason why force cannot suppress it is because the force is insufficient!"

Next, I'll talk about the third thing you need to do.

As you all probably know, the Azure Cloud Sect has three large armies composed of sect disciples.

The Blue-Clad Army will continue to be stationed in the Cloud Mountain Empire.

The Red-Clad Army, on the other hand, is stationed in the Cloud Soaring Empire.

They will cooperate with you and use absolute force to clear away all obstacles.

My plan is to get the Cloud Mountain Empire and the Cloud Soaring Empire completely on the right track within five years.

I don't want to receive orders from you in the future, only to be dragged out and delayed, with a small matter taking months to be completed by a bunch of ministers.

That's not my intention.

If I have enough time, I can slowly work my way up with these people and win them over.

However, what we lack most right now is time.

Therefore, the next step will definitely be ruthless measures!

If the city lord is not convinced, kill the city lord; if Lineage is not convinced, exterminate the Lineage; if a minister is not convinced, kill his entire family. In short, don't worry about not being able to suppress it by force.

My Azure Cloud Sect has a continuous supply of military strength to ensure the completion of this task.

Of course, since you're here, I'll also ask you: are you capable of completing my plan?

If you feel timid, afraid, or lack confidence, speak up now.

Otherwise, if the plan is delayed halfway through due to your actions, you will be held solely responsible!

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

They sensed an overwhelming killing intent in Zhang Yang's words.

Situ Haonan, in particular, was terrified.

He now realized that his daughter had been quite polite; if the Situ Family didn't obey, Situ Family might really be wiped out.

He immediately decided that once he returned, he would execute all the dissenting voices within the Situ Family.

Because keeping this group around will only cause trouble!

"Don't worry, Master, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Li Xiaojie said decisively.

Zhang Yang nodded, looked at Eunuch Hong, and said, "Old Hong, you should pay attention to protecting His Majesty the Emperor, and also spare some attention to the problems that the Blue-Clad Army may encounter."

Although they are powerful overall, there are bound to be times when a few of them act alone.

This is the time for you to step forward.

"Would you be alright to take charge of the Cloud Mountain Empire for me?"

As he spoke, he tossed a Spirit Artifact to Eunuch Hong.

"No problem, this old servant thanks you, Master!" Eunuch Hong was so excited that he bowed deeply.

Although he was at the Primordial Spirit Realm, he was Primordial Spirit Realm the Cloud Mountain Empire, so obtaining resources was not so easy for him.

Moreover, he was a eunuch, and was therefore very unpopular.

Now that Zhang Yang not only values him but also gives him Spirit Artifact, how could he possibly have any other objections?

Zhang Yang then looked at Situ Haonan and said seriously, "Your Situ Family is the same; when the Red-Clad Army needs help, I hope you can lend them a hand!"

This ninth-grade Spirit Artifact is also bestowed upon your Situ Family."

He had already swung his big stick, so he gave Cloud Mountain and Cloud Soaring each a carrot.

Situ Haonan hurriedly assured them that they would definitely complete the Azure Cloud Sect's mission well, and then excitedly accepted the Spirit Artifact.

This is a Spirit Artifact!

After giving away the two Spirit Artifacts, Zhang Yang said, "Every year on the third day of the third month and the ninth day of the ninth month, all the forces of the entire Azure Cloud Continent gather to discuss matters."

At that time, all forces will be required to come to the Azure Cloud Sect to report their progress.

The third day of the third lunar month has passed this year, and the next time we gather will be on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

Before that, they will observe military exercises and then participate in the meeting on September 9th.
