Spoils of the Purge, a Warning to Would-Be Troublemakers!
"Nangong..."
Sometimes, being too confident can hurt you. Is what you see before you really what you believe to be true?
Just then, a Illusion statement entered my mind!
For a moment, Nangong Bahuo's vision blurred, and Qin Minghan, who had just fallen into the illusion, slowly transformed into a tree trunk...
Meanwhile, Qin Minghan slowly materialized his form from not far away!
At this moment, Nangong Bahuo showed a hint of bewilderment, and even the surrounding environment gradually became turbulent, before the real scene was revealed...
Visibility was only about three meters, obscured by a thick fog!
Before he could react, veins bulged on his body, and a chilling poison had somehow seeped into his flesh...
His left lung was necrotic, and his body became numb!
Then another wave of potent poison struck, spreading throughout the body. The toxins traveled along the meridians, gradually infecting the upper, middle, and lower dantian...
Until now-
Nangong Bahuo then realized that he had just been completely trapped in an illusion, and had been completely silent from beginning to end...
This made him careless and careless, and he was poisoned!
"Cough cough..."
"Wow!"
Nangong Bahuo coughed twice, then vomited a large amount of black blood. The spiritual light in his eyes dissipated, and the accompanying pupil technique vanished with it...
He wiped his mouth, his face as pale as wax, clearly showing signs of death!
He looked up at the sky, and finally asked, "When was I infected? Why haven't I felt any discomfort...?"
Upon hearing this—
The clouds and mist dissipated, revealing Qin Minghan and his two companions...
Upon seeing this, Qin Minghan initially just smiled, but after seeing Nangong Bahuo's unwilling expression, he answered his question!
The saying goes, "A dying man's words are good," and then he explained:
"While you were regaining your senses and preparing to defend against Mingyuan attack, I had already released this Illusory Shadow Poison Miasma, so you naturally couldn't activate it..."
"After all, no matter how the Qin Clan develops and changes, this poison is ultimately the foundation upon which our Qin Clan family stands and thrives!"
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, to die from my clan's poisonous arts, your death is not unjust!"
Upon hearing this—
Nangong Bahuo smiled wryly, a hint of resentment in his eyes, before his Spiritual Qi finally dissipated...
His cultivation vanished with the wind, his life force completely extinguished. Thus, the once-proud Nangong Bahuo died from the poison...
His body was properly preserved.
The souls were then captured by the three and preserved using Secret Method, stored in a soul bottle. These were the wronged souls above the Qi Condensation...
It was the nourishment offered to Qin Lu, used to continuously improve the Ten Thousand Souls Banner: Heaven Burial!
at last--
The three began to divide up Nangong Bahuo's valuables. They were shocked to find a lot of secret items when they searched him!
One of them was inside a storage ring.
It contained nearly a hundred books of Cultivation Method and secret arts passed down from generation to generation by the Nangong Clan!
Having obtained such a valuable item, the three dared not delay and immediately escorted it back to its clan. This was during their initial decision to annihilate Nangong Bahuo...
I had considered that Nangong Bahuo might possess the Nangong Clan's legacy!
After all, he was the most outstanding disciple of the Nangong Clan. In order to revitalize the Nangong Clan, the succession should naturally be passed on to the disciple with the most potential...
Now--
It was truly a case of blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse; it came so easily, and all the experience passed down for thousands of years ultimately benefited the Qin Clan!
It's true what they say, fortunes really do change. Next year it might be my turn. I can't see through it, I can't guess what will happen...
In the days that followed--
The turmoil in the Southern Province gradually subsided, and the Nangong Clan clan was almost wiped out, leaving only the lineage of Qin Mingzheng's legal wife...
Moreover, none of them Qi Condensation; of the remaining hundred or so people, only a few Warrior.
The reason this lineage was preserved was because Qin Mingzheng had fought hard for it, but to avoid future problems...
These remnants of the Nangong Clan all changed their surname to Nan!
Their memories were also secretly altered. After all, they were just mortals and Warrior; as long as they didn't resist fiercely, modifying some of their memories wasn't difficult...
besides--
This refers to the war situation in various parts of the Southern Province. The Southern Province itself covers an area of over 3.2 million square kilometers and is divided into 15 Prefecture and hundreds of counties...
The total area of over seven million square kilometers is now entirely under the control of Northern Qin!
That wasn't the end of it. After the entire Southern Province fell, the Qin Clan then dispatched troops in six routes, heading towards several surrounding scattered Prefecture...
The northern part of the Da Zhou, since annexing the Daliang.
Thus, five Dao Foundation— the Qin Clan, Nangong Clan, Gao Clan, Xie Clan, and Wu Clan— emerged, which, for the north...
Somewhat, the land is sparsely populated!
The five Northern Frontier states have not fully utilized the resources of the Northern Frontier, and some idle Prefecture exist in the gaps between the various states...
Over time, it developed into its own distinct style.
But now, the Qin Clan is displaying its might, first gaining a guardian spirit beast at the Dao Foundation Realm, and even the Extreme Yuan Dao Sect is willing to submit...
Furthermore, with the conquest of the Southern Province, its prestige has reached its peak!
After another series of campaigns by the Qin Clan, nine Prefecture near the Northern Province and Southern Province voluntarily merged into the Northern Province and accepted the direct leadership of the Qin Clan...
Based on this calculation--
The fifteen prefectures of the Southern Province, the ten prefectures of the Northern Province, and nine scattered prefectures, together comprise a total of thirty-four Prefecture and hundreds of counties...
Its territory spanned a staggering 16 million square kilometers!
All of its forces were incorporated into the Qin Clan's immortal register, and Qin Coin was subsequently widely distributed. Later, the Qin Clan obtained the Third-Tier talisman inheritance from the Nangong Clan...
He then passed on the talismanic tradition to the Jade Maiden Sect.
Soon after--
The Jade Maiden Sect was officially renamed the Jade Talisman Palace! Primarily composed of female cultivators, it also served as a supplier of talismans, becoming a major sect on par with the Pill Pavilion, the Hundred Refinements Sect, and the Formation Evolution Sect!
Because they correspond to the Four Great Immortal Arts, they are also known as the Four Great Sects!
Meanwhile, the Seven Mysteries of Northern Province have also undergone a change of leadership. The current Seven Xuan Mysteries are: Gan Clan, Su Clan, Wang Clan, Meng Clan, Zhang Clan, Li Clan, and Zhao Clan!
Therefore, the Seven Xuan--
They are also known as the Seven Great Households!
The title of "four factions and seven families" became the most well-deserved reputation under the Qin Clan's rule...
A few months later--
After the Qin Clan annexed the Southern Province and several nearby Prefecture, Qin Xiao convened a meeting. Meanwhile, the Northern Province was expanding rapidly...
There should also be a unified standard for the division of its directly administered and subordinate jurisdictions!
Now that Southern Province belongs to the Qin Clan and has been incorporated into the territory of Northern Province, it is naturally impossible for it to continue to be called Southern Province. Therefore, a meeting was held to discuss the matter...
final--
Four million square kilometers will be designated as the core region of Northern Province, including the Blood-Colored Plain, Longchuan Region, Wuping Region, Muyun Region...
Together with eight Prefecture further north, they form the core area of Northern Province!
The remaining 12 million square kilometers were divided into five protectorates, each governing nearly 2.5 million square kilometers...
The county level was abolished, and the county was expanded to form a three-tiered administrative system consisting of prefectures, protectorates, and counties!
Let every county have a Qi Condensation local presence...
Ideally, four Qi Condensation forces should occupy a county; if one force becomes dominant, reaching the level of a hegemon...
Then one can monopolize an entire county!
