The Old Gives Way to the New, Great Qin's Might!
Baxuan Immortal City - Qin Palace
Su Qin, Zhang Yi, and Gan Long were all present at this time. A few years earlier, after the three of them had Qi Condensation, they had been expelled from the mountain gate by Ghost Valley Wang Xu...
After traveling together for some time, the three embarked on their respective journeys...
After Gan Long and Su Qin returned to their Lineage, they were entrusted with important responsibilities and successfully took over the power of managing the family from their fathers!
Since the Gan and Su families joined the Qin Clan, everything has gone smoothly for them...
now--
The two families have become powerful clans in their own right, and even show signs of becoming local overlords. They can also be considered direct descendants of the Qin Clan...
After assuming their respective posts, the two men entered the Qin court as officials...
To this day --
After their separation, Zhang Yi also returned to his Lineage and took on important responsibilities!
When the Zhang Clan fell into decline, their ancestor Zhang Xuan, who was a friend of Huang Laozu and Ancestor Qin, unfortunately perished in the Great Zhou-Liang War!
Zhang Liang, a prodigy in the clan, disappeared for many years for reasons unknown...
This led to the Zhang Clan's dramatic decline. If it weren't for the Qin Clan's intentional protection, which preserved their territory and lineage, they would probably have been wiped out long ago!
Zhang Yi's return naturally gave the Zhang Clan a new pillar of support...
The reputation of the Xuan River Zhang Clan was once again spread!
To ensure his Lineage's future prosperity, Zhang Yi also joined the Qin court in the Northern Province, where he reunited with Su Qin and Gan Long...
It was only through the planning of these three that the current drama of the Northern Expedition against the Southern Province came about!
at the same time--
A new generation of officials was also taking place in the imperial court...
Of the six Grand Secretaries, Wang Xu voluntarily abdicated and chose to retire to Guigu Ghost Valley in Cloud Dream Mountain. He has already sealed the mountain gates and officially faded out of the court...
Secondly, there was Han Fei, who was already very old.
If it weren't for the various rare treasures suspending him, he would probably have perished long ago...
He passed away peacefully not long after stepping down, which can be considered a fitting end to his life. He had experienced both glory and hardship...
It wasn't a wasted trip!
Later, I heard that the Thousand Spirits Han Clan, in order to commemorate Han Fei's achievements, adopted his name as a Lineage tradition...
According to the Han family, every fifty years, the best descendants in the clan will be selected to inherit the word "non"...
In order to distinguish it from the ancestor Han Fei, the character [] was added after the character Fei.
Therefore, he was named Han Feizi!
This name has become the most important legacy of the Lady Han, a spiritual inheritance, and also seemingly a transmission of abilities...
As for the secrets involved, it's likely that only the core members of the Lady Han know.
As for Han Xin, the pillar of the Lady Han, he remains unknown, spending his days either studying military strategy or quietly practicing self-cultivation...
They have accomplished nothing and have no great ambitions.
From then on, the Thousand Spirits Han Clan gradually faded from view...
Finally, there's Qin Wen—
Since Breaking Condensing Qi, he felt completely enlightened and soon left the imperial court to become the new dean of the Daoist Learning Academy...
He also served as the guardian of the Wenge Pavilion.
He occasionally mentors the younger generation, but on ordinary days he quietly deduces and refines the family 'Cultivation Method techniques and secret arts, constantly perfecting and optimizing the Lineage's heritage!
He became increasingly low-key and faded from public view...
And the successors of the three—
Su Qin, Gan Long, and Zhang Yi, along with Shang Yang, Li Si, Zhao Gao, and others, formed the new Six Great Scholars...
At this very moment--
The plan to launch a northern expedition against the Southern Province was on track. After some adjustments, the three reached a consensus and began to deploy their troops...
This battle resulted in the complete annihilation of the Southern Province.
We must not only fight well, but also fight beautifully, showcasing the glory of the Great Qin!
The goal is to let the world know of the Great Qin's fearless army, to demonstrate the Qin Clan's strength as much as possible, and to minimize casualties...
This will bring lasting peace in the future!
Only by demonstrating overwhelming combat power can they facilitate takeover in the future. The Qin Clan certainly doesn't want another large-scale purge to happen again...
In this battle, the Northern Province will launch a full-scale attack!
Not counting the various forces in the Northern Province, the Qin Clan alone, along with its affiliated forces, amassed an army of several million...
The Black Dragon Legion has launched a full-scale attack; 100,000 Black Dragon Army have poured out!
Five thousand Qin Elite Soldiers followed closely behind!
The various regional legions— Yingchuan Army, Cloud Dream Army, and Cloud River Army —are the three basic legions directly under the Qin Clan, each with 300,000 troops...
The Qin Clan family alone mobilized a million troops!
in addition--
Gan Clan Army, Su Clan Army, Jade Maiden Sect, Dharma Sect, Formation Evolution Sect, Hundred Refinements Sect, Pill Pavilion, Extreme Yuan Dao Sect, Dragon-Gazing Immortal Sect, etc...
It can be said that they came out in full force, with all kinds of Daoist soldiers and legions making their appearance!
The Extreme Yuan Dao Sect, for example, has assembled a massive army of hundreds of thousands of corpse-refining cultivators—a group of cultivators draped in black robes and exuding an aura of death...
They keep claiming to be disciples of the Daoist sect, a prestigious and righteous school!
Then, with a swift movement, he summoned a group of refined corpses, claiming they were: Fengdu Dao Soldiers, and that if any fellow Daoist were to sacrifice themselves, their bodies could be offered up...
Transform into Fengdu Dao Soldiers, and fight on the battlefield once more!
I was born to serve Qin and died to fulfill my duty to Qin; the kindness of Great Qin can never be repaid!
And so, by piecing together resources from various sources, they managed to assemble a mixed army of two million, including the Qin Clan family itself...
A total of over three million!
Afterwards, all the prefectures and counties under his rule, and all the various forces, regardless of size...
All soldiers were recruited according to the ranks listed in the Nine-Rank Immortal Registry. A rough calculation shows that nearly five million people were recruited, among whom a large number Warrior!
All factions practically emptied their coffers, conscripting anyone in their prime with cultivation into their ranks...
All factions and cultivators have mobilized!
If a power has multiple cultivators, it's considered fortunate; they might be able to preserve one person to ensure the continuation of their lineage...
If there is only one cultivator among them, they can only be sent to the army. Whether they can return depends entirely on Heavenly Fate. Once they are registered in the immortal register...
That means sharing the Qin Clan's fate completely!
If they rebel, the only option left is extermination of their entire clan, but the advantage is...
If a clan declines, the Qin Clan will provide some support, especially to forces that have declined because of the Qin Clan; they never hesitate to help them!
Although Qin law was strict, it also ensured fairness for everyone!
This is also why many smaller factions are willing to serve the Qin Clan; after all, for them, the Qin Clan's promises...
That is their hope for passing on their legacy!
The most important thing for smaller factions is the passing down of their traditions, and the Xuan River Zhang Clan is the best example of this...
A Lineage that had fallen to such a state of decline has survived to this day under the protection of the Qin Clan, and has even given birth to a Qi Condensation cultivator again...
Zhang Yi is now one of the six Grand Secretaries in the Northern Province court!
The Xuan River Zhang Clan has been revitalized and even seized considerable power in the Northern Province, which is a vivid example of this...
On the contrary, it is the most effective way to win people's hearts!
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye!
The Northern Province Army, totaling over eight million men, marched along various passes towards the Southern Province, organized into armies of 300,000 to 500,000 men each...
They launched more than ten attacks, spreading like a sieve, and completely invaded the Southern Province Continent!
Wherever the army passed, the various forces in the Southern Province put up fierce resistance, but in the end, they all collapsed...
