Chapter 318: King Beitu, the ego domain and the scapegoat!
In March of the second year of Yuanshou, Zhao Xing arrived in Fengjing and sat in the imperial palace again.

Since the death of Emperor Jing, he has been going to the palace more often.

Yuanshou had only been there for two years, but he had already been there hundreds of times.

When I have nothing to do, I go for a walk and chat with Ji Che, and we often talk all night long.

"The Western countries have always regarded our dynasty as the Celestial Empire. When you go there, you must promote the great power of the Zhou Dynasty!"

Zhao Xing said with a smile: "All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects!"

"Don't worry, Fifth Brother. When I go to the Western Continent, I will make sure those vassal states understand this truth."

When Emperor Wu heard this, he was overjoyed: "Well, well said! Someone come here."

Ji Che called a right historian and said, "Record what elder brother just said in the book and circulate it to all officials."

The right historian held a pen knife in his hand, his pupils moved, and his ears emitted bursts of white light. Then he heard the conversation between Zhao Xing and Ji Che just now, and recorded it word for word.

When Ji Che saw that Youshi had finished writing, he dismissed him and spoke from his heart: "Brother, the land of Xijizhou was specially left to me by my father to establish my prestige."

"This is the first time I've sent an important official as an envoy since I became king."

"If I can't even settle the disputes among the vassal states in a small Western Antarctic Province, I will be laughed at."

"I'm afraid those peace-loving officials will use this matter to attack you and me in the future."

"I will be sensible and will never let the Great Zhou get involved in a war at this time."

When Zhao Xing heard the transfer order, he understood that Ji Che was not sending him to Xijizhou to take charge out of emotional reasons.

Two concepts need to be clarified here, namely that Antarctica is divided into geographical scope and administrative regions.

The geographical scope of Xijizhou is far larger than the administrative area of ​​Dazhou.

The area of ​​Xijizhou actually controlled by the Great Zhou is only one-thirtieth of the entire Xijizhou (for ease of understanding, referred to as the Xiji continent below).

The administrative area of ​​the Great Zhou, 'Xiji Province', covers only one-thirtieth of the Xiji continent, but this one-thirtieth is more than 60% of the rich land of the Xiji continent.

The rest either do not border the territory of the Great Zhou, or are vassal states, or are barren lands with extremely harsh environments.

The Sinong Supervisor once calculated that even if the Grand Sinong was sent to change the celestial phenomena, regulate the earth's veins, and then mobilize the Tiangong Division for cooperation, it would take more than four hundred years.

This is premised on the condition that one can focus on farming and development.

The cost of stationing garrisons, civil and military officials, and relocating people after the occupation was not taken into account...

From a financial perspective, even if you spend 100,000 yuan, you may not get back even one yuan.

It's not that the Great Zhou couldn't be conquered, but the cost was too high, so it gave many "vassal states" room to survive.

The further west you go in the West Antarctic Continent, the poorer the land becomes. After passing the 'Sky Frost Mountains', it is no longer called the West Antarctic Continent, but the West Antarctic Ice Land, or the West Antarctic Glacier.

Because there is no land at all, it's all ice.

After learning of this situation, even the most belligerent local factions did not want to fight the barbarians over there.

However, the Great Zhou did not want to fight, but the barbarians wanted to move eastward. Who wouldn't want to live in a fertile land with blooming flowers in spring?
Some of the tribes, with the support of Taizu, established their own countries and became vassal states like the Kingdom of Mos. After being educated by Emperor Wen, they gradually became part of the Great Zhou and became a line of defense for the Western Continent of the Great Zhou.

Under such circumstances, expanding territory in the Western Antarctic or starting a war would result in huge losses.

The generals of the faction went there and started fighting in a fit of rage.

Ji Che sent Zhao Xing, the Minister of Agriculture, who naturally knew how to settle the account.

In a nutshell: we must demonstrate the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but we must not let the Western Continent fall into the quagmire of war, at least not a large-scale war.

If a war breaks out, Ji Che's appointment of important officials will be a failure and will be criticized by many people, and the same goes for Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing and Ji Che chatted for many days. The younger brother was very vigorous, but he rarely mentioned "fighting", let alone war.

How could he not know what Emperor Wu was thinking?

"Gather the strength of the vassal states to fight the barbarians. I will never mobilize the army of Xijizhou unless it is absolutely necessary." Zhao Xing said.

Isn’t it just learning from Wang Xuance?

Seeing that Zhao Xing had deeply understood his spirit, Ji Che clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, I am absolutely relieved to let you go."

"You can mobilize the seven great caves, the two blessed lands, and the strong men from all armies, and act accordingly. I have prepared an imperial edict for you. If you feel it is necessary, you can open a provincial government in Xijizhou and take charge of the military and political power!"

Master Zhao was deeply moved when he heard Ji Che's words.

The rebellion of Prince Liang happened only over a hundred years ago!

What's more, Zhao Xing is not his biological brother.

Working under Emperor Wu can be summed up in one word: awesome.

However, although it was great, Zhao Xing thought about it for a while and felt that it was a little strange: "The rebellion in Xijizhou is just a minor problem, why is there such a big fuss?"

Ji Che said: "This is exactly what I am going to say next. According to the latest battle reports collected from all over the Western Continent this year, as well as the deductions and replays of the officials, the court discovered that the strength of the Sith Kingdom in the Western Continent has expanded rapidly!"

"Since last year, Ji Si and others have repeatedly deduced based on military intelligence reports and have come to an astonishing conclusion: the Sith Nation has overtly or covertly controlled 80% of the small nations and tribes in the Western Ice Continent."

Zhao Xing frowned when he heard this. In his previous life, he had indeed heard of this Sis country. It rose rapidly after the reign of Emperor Wu and became the overlord of the West.

But Emperor Wu has just ascended the throne, how come he is rising so fast?

With this doubt in mind, Zhao Xing set out from Fengjing in early April. He was accompanied by four adjutants, Mi Fu, Chen Shijie, Hu Yang, and Zhang Tianxing, as well as the foreign troops of Prince Jin Ke.

Shensu warship, marching in the hall.

The Shensu warship was a reward from Emperor Wu, and it was a divine artifact of the lower grade of treasure.

As a warship, even if it is a lower-grade treasure, it is still very remarkable. It was made by the Shensu Guard, one of the three imperial guards.

Although Zhao Xing did not take the initiative to ask to bring people, it still requires a lot of people to drive this military weapon.

Emperor Wu of Han assigned him five hundred guards of the Divine Su. The three imperial guards of the Emperor, the Divine Su, the Luan Yi, and the Jin Wu, had never been deployed even during the reign of Emperor Jing.

But now Zhao Xing was given 500 men.

"Since the founding of the Sith Clan in the first year of Dazhi, their national strength has grown by leaps and bounds. This is very unusual."

Zhao Xing was reading through all the information about the Sith Country.

He went over all the deductions made by the destiny officials and intelligence from the military community himself.

"Li Boqian once realized the Yuanfeng in the West Pole Glacier. Now the Xisi tribe has risen and established a nation, and it is constantly growing. Could it be that there really is a super-powerful copy in the West Pole Sea?"

"Their strength began to grow rapidly in the first year of Dazhi, so the time when the Sith actually gained some kind of enhancement must have been even earlier."

Zhao Xing worked his way back to the Jing Xinli period and retrieved all the old intelligence from the Jing Xinli period for review.

"The Qitian Palace also appeared during the Jingxinli period. At least Fairy Hua can be sure that she participated in worldly affairs during the Jingxinli period. Could it be that there is a connection between Li Boqian's enlightenment on the glacier, the founding of the Xisi tribe, and the birth of the Qitian Palace?"

"All this is definitely not a coincidence. There must be a big secret in the Western Ice Continent!" A hint of thought flashed in Zhao Xing's eyes.

"In the past, there was a super version of the copy in Xuanhuang Realm, but the players just didn't find it. It's not impossible."

"If that's the case, I have to consider it and make some preparations in advance." Zhao Xing thought of the Moyun vine seedlings in the Pure Yuan Space. "If I really find something extraordinary, I will have to raise my brother."

…………

Tianyongzhou is in the east of Zhongzhou, while Xijizhou is in the west of Zhongzhou. The two are extremely far apart, spanning twelve continents.

The journey is long, and without ultra-long-distance transmission like that from the Fire Altar, it would be impossible to maintain such a huge empire.

Even if you prepare in advance, take the shortest route.

It also took Zhao Xing, Prince Jinke, King Bingtu, King Kro and others more than three months to enter Antarctica.

Once you arrive at Xijizhou, you will have to rely on flying from now on, because Xijizhou is no longer within the transmission range of the Fire God Altar.

The teachings of Lord Lihuo cannot reach this extremely cold state.

It gets colder as we head west.

Arriving in the western part of Antarctica, it began to snow gradually as we passed through various counties.

"We set out in April and have been walking for more than three months. It's only mid-August now."

"The western part of Antarctica has already entered winter."

"The winter solar terms have begun to become active, and all cold, ice and snow related skills, martial arts, and spells have been slightly enhanced."

"On the contrary, the fire-based skills, martial arts, and spells have all been weakened a bit." Zhang Tianxing stood on the boat, looking at the snowy world outside, "It's really cold."

"I heard that people in Xizhou have thick hair and are generally short in stature. People in Binglu even have organs like gills behind their ears. It really is true that the local climate shapes the local people." Hu Yang also sighed.

"The data says that Xijizhou is the richest place in the Western Continent. It seems that this is also relative." Chen Shijie looked down at the land below. "The ground veins are weak, the soil is poor, and it is completely incomparable to the other states."

"Thirty percent of my plant troops are unable to exert their full combat effectiveness here. The further west we go, the worse the situation becomes." Mi Fu closed his eyes and observed the world within.

"Only 30%?" Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing looked at Mi Fu in surprise.

Everyone had never been to Antarctica, so they expressed different feelings.

Mi Fu's sigh attracted the attention of the other three.

Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing even felt that Mi Fu was a little boastful.

However, Mi Fu was not bragging. The environment in the Xingxu small world was also extremely harsh. After serving as an official in such a place for a long time, Mi Fu's troops had transformed and adapted to the extreme environment.

Mi Fu also didn't want to explain to Zhang Tianxing and Hu Yang because both of them were from aristocratic families.

For three months, he and these two people were just casual acquaintances.

He actually got along well with Chen Shijie: "Shijie, you are good at the three methods of underground palace, cracking the earth, and Ksitigarbha. If you can crack the earth to lead the Yang Qi to rise, and then use the underground palace method to prevent the earth Qi from sinking, and use Ksitigarbha to return to the origin and store the power of the earth veins, my plant army will be able to exert its full strength."

Chen Shijie shook his head and said, "I don't know if it will be okay to go down there. I heard that some areas don't even have ground, it's all ice."

Hu Yang smiled and said, "It has to be done even if it's impossible! We are about to enter the war zone, and we can't let Lord Zhao take action."

Zhang Tianxing agreed: "Not bad."

The four of them were chatting outside.

Inside the cabin, Zhao Xing talked about the situation in the Sith Kingdom with Prince Jinke, King Bingtu, King Kro and others.

In his previous life, Zhao Xing came to Xijizhou rarely, mainly because this place was too poor.

There is no profit to be made.

The Xiji Province controlled by the Great Zhou is not much smaller than the Pinghai Province, with only two blessed places and seven cave heavens.

Not to mention the rest of the Western Continent.

Transportation is also extremely inconvenient.

Completing quests and dungeons in such a place is time-consuming and laborious, and there is not much profit to be made, so there is really not much motivation to do it.

"Prince, which masters in the Sith country are worth paying attention to?" Zhao Xing asked. Although he knew a lot of information, Prince Jinke was a local after all, and perhaps he could discover something unusual.

Prince Jinke said: "The strongest one is Deus, the king of the Sith Nation. He calls himself the Great Lord of the Sith, but he has never taken action."

Zhao Xing asked in confusion: "Oh? He never made a move, or is it because everyone who saw him make a move is dead?"

"Perhaps as the Duke said, everyone who has seen him in action has died." Prince Jinke said in a deep voice, "He is known as the strongest man, mainly because Deus has fifty venerables under his command."

"Half of the venerables were taught by Deus."

"Because they are different from the other venerables, they will call Deus the Great Saint Master."

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

According to intelligence, the fifty venerables of the Sith Nation all have peak or perfect combat power of the first rank.

Fifty people at the Fate Palace level were nothing in the Great Zhou, but in the Western Continent, fifty people at the peak or perfect level of the Fate Palace were quite a few.

The realm of life palace, as the name suggests, is to construct the life palace.

Being able to reach the peak and perfect levels means that the Fate Palace is approaching perfection, and every move is in accordance with the Way of Heaven. With this step, at least the low-level rule field can be born.

Even though no one has ever seen Deus take action, he was able to train twenty-five venerables. This alone is enough to make him the strongest man in the Western Ice Continent.

"King Bingtu, King Kro, you have been fighting with the Sith Kingdom since the Dazhi period. Tell me how you feel about it." Zhao Xing looked at the other two strong men.

Among them, King Bingtu has reached the realm of Fate Palace, and he has had experience of fighting with the Venerable.

"I have fought against the Venerable 'Ulic' of the Sith Nation seven times." King Bingtu recalled.

"The earliest one was in the twenty-first year of the Jingxin calendar. At that time, Deus had not yet established a country. He was just the great lord of the Sith tribe, and Ulic was the lord under him."

"At that time, I was responsible for mining polar ice in the 'Weishan Mountain' of the 'Western Glacier'. The Weishan Mountain is not a real mountain, but a continuous iceberg area. There are many precious materials there, such as Weishan ice stone, extremely low-cold ice, cold marrow, jade beads, etc."

"The first time Ulic and I fought, it was because of the collection of these treasures that we clashed."

"At that time, I was a third-rank official, and he was only a fourth-rank official. Seeing me, he had no choice but to flee. I knocked him into the sea eye, thinking that he would surely die, and I ignored him..."

King Bingtu recalled: "I didn't expect that he was not dead. When I saw him again fifteen years later, he had broken through to the early stage of the third rank. At that time, I was at the peak of the third rank."

"We met again in the Weishan area. The second time we fought, he escaped from my hands."

"In the second year, the Xisi tribe announced the establishment of a nation, but no one cared at that time. After all, although the Xisi tribe is considered a large tribe, it is still not comparable to our Moss nation, and our territories are not adjacent to each other."

"It wasn't until the 50th year of Dazhi that the Sith Nation founded by Deus, through constant conquests, finally threatened our territory."

"Fifty years is not a short time. I almost forgot about Ulic, but during their expansion, I met him again..."

King Bingtu looked a little dazed: "I didn't recognize him at the time. It was only when he took the initiative to mention it that I connected him with the original little lord."

"That time, we fought again. I was in the late second rank, and he was in the early second rank."

"In the end, I only had a slight advantage."

When Zhao Xing heard this, he didn't think there was anything wrong. It was just an ordinary story about the growth of a genius from another race.

"Since the fourth fight, I have been unable to gain any advantage."

"The fifth time we fought was in the seventy-fifth year of Yongzhi. At that time, he had completely surpassed me and became a first-grade expert, while I was still at the second-grade perfection."

Zhao Xing checked the time and found that it was about five years later that Jin Ke, the prince of Moss, came to Da Zhou for help for the first time with his five generals.

In the sixth fight, King Bingtu learned a lot of advanced experience from the Great Zhou, but still could not defeat Ulic, but he successfully broke through to the first level.

The seventh time was when Prince Jinke’s younger brother died and Prince Jinke’s arm was broken.

Among the many powerful men under Jin Ke, only King Bingtu, King Kro and Suo Xu survived.

"The country has only been established for 135 years, but it has already overwhelmed the Moss Kingdom." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Venerable Ulic? I've never heard of him... There are still 50 people like him?"

As he listened, Zhao Xing suddenly asked, "Do you know how old Deus is? And how old are the fifty venerables under him?"

"Age?" Prince Jinke pondered. "No one knows Deus's exact age. He is very mysterious, but he should be over 500 years old."

"As for the venerables under him, we don't know much about the rest. We only know that the twenty-five venerables under Deus are very young. We haven't heard of them before. They have only emerged in the past hundred years."

King Bingtu said: "I can feel the fluctuation of Ulic's life, he is about two hundred and fifty years old."

Zhao Xing frowned.

Ulic, at around 250 years old, has reached the peak of the first rank?
This talent is already exaggerated.

Zhao Xing was born in 274 AD in the Dingxin calendar. The Dingxin calendar lasted for 278 years, the Jingxin calendar lasted for 37 years, and the Dazhi and Yongzhi periods lasted for 158 years in total. In the second year of Yuanshou, he was already 201 years old.

Liu Tianning is 105 years older than him, so he is already 306 years old.

When Liu Tianning broke through to the first level, he was already over 200 years old.

Both of them learned by themselves.

Of course, age alone is not a complete indicator of talent.

People like Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing had already comprehended the realm of rules a long time ago, and were proficient in many methods, and they also cultivated pure Yuan soil... Liu Tianning had to solve the drawbacks of the Wanfa Straw Man at that time, while Zhao Xing was in the realm of cultivating mountains and strengthening the sky.

However, from the intelligence and King Bingtu's description, it can be seen that Ulic is a first-class talent!
"Assuming they are all equally young, how many more are there with talents like Ulic, or even stronger?"

"Dius, the great Sith Lord, has actually cultivated so many powerful people. The country's destiny is too strong." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Combined with what I saw in my previous life, the Sith Nation later became the overlord of the West. At the beginning of its establishment, it was blessed by heaven and gave birth to so many powerful people, which makes sense. Now the small world has begun to show signs of a vital energy tide again. Perhaps this Sith Great Lord has discovered a small world."

But after thinking about it, Zhao Xing still felt that there was something wrong here.

It’s not that geniuses can’t emerge in other places, but it’s really exaggerated that so many geniuses emerged in a concentrated manner within a hundred years and that each of them could reach such a high level.

"If the Sith tribe had gained some kind of enhancement at the end of the Jingxin calendar, it shouldn't be a vitality tide. Then the heavens probably wouldn't have started to show abnormal vitality."

"The Qitian Palace is already one of the first groups of people to benefit. There is no reason why the Sith tribe would become stronger earlier than them." Zhao Xing had many speculations in his mind.

"Now the spiritual energy in the seven spiritual lakes in my body has turned into liquid, which is very precious. If I want, I can also mass-produce some powerful people. It's just because I need to consider 'manual spiritual energy revival' that I am saving these spiritual liquids."

"This great lord of the Sith tribe must have also obtained a similar opportunity."

Zhao Xing can now be sure that the great lord of the Sith tribe, Deus, has obtained some great opportunities, which allow him to create some powerful people in a short period of time.

As for whether this opportunity is related to the ancient temple that Li Boqian once saw, that remains to be confirmed.

"It would be best to arrest Ulic and interrogate him."

"If we can determine that the benefits are great, we can dispatch a large army to attack the border and have the strong men from the Great Zhou come to carry out a dimensionality reduction attack."

There is no benefit in not conquering the Western Continent.

If it is confirmed that there will be a big harvest, Da Zhou will be a hungry wolf that wants to ascend to heaven!

With a plan in mind, Zhao Xing immediately said:

"Prince, Ulic was the commander who led the attack on Moss. He also killed your brother, slaughtered the people of Moss, and occupied the territory of Moss... He is truly a heinous crime!"

"We must kill him!"

"I have been ordered to come here to avenge you."

"Don't worry, no one can stop the great Zhou's army of kingly ways and justice... Ulic is dead!"

When the pie was drawn, Prince Jinke and King Bingtu were so excited that they immediately stood up and kowtowed to Zhao Xing.

After pacifying Prince Jinke and others, Zhao Xing left the cabin and summoned Chen Shijie, Mi Fu, Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing to discuss matters.

"I plan to capture Venerable Ulic of the Sith Kingdom alive. I suspect they have greater ambitions." Chen Shijie, who was familiar with Zhao Xing, always felt that his words were strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Zhao Xing said: "Hu Yang, Zhang Tianxing, you immediately take my seal and take the flying boat back to the seven caves and two blessed places in Xijizhou to inform the commander of the garrison and have them prepare for battle."

"My request is that as soon as my order arrives, they must immediately intervene in the battlefield of the Western Land Kingdom and fight a war to destroy the country!"

Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing looked at each other in surprise, but since it was Zhao Xing who said it, there was nothing to question.

"As ordered!"

The two men immediately took Zhao Xing's seal and sailed back.

Only Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing could handle this matter more safely, because they both looked like powerful people in the capital.

Neither Mi Fu nor Chen Shijie had this temperament.

After the two men left, Mi Fu could not help but ask, "What's going on? Didn't they say that they would use the barbarian soldiers to fight the barbarians? Now they are preparing to intervene? Isn't this kind of war mobilization inappropriate?"

If it were another Shangguan, he would definitely not be able to stand Mi Fu.

Lao Chen is still here. It's really disrespectful of you to question the order right after it was given.

However, Mr. Zhao knew Mi Fu's character. This was a man who could contradict Emperor Wu and make drastic cuts to his military spending. So such words were already considered gentle.

Zhao Xing laughed and said, "The vassal states are not stupid. We have to put the model on display first. If we don't even do the model, how can others believe it?"

Mi Fu nodded, indicating that he understood Zhao Xing's approach.

He was only worried that war would bring a burden to his own people. As for the vassal states, they were all barbarians and were not within the scope of Mr. Mi's patriotism and love for the people.

Chen Shijie was thinking about a specific plan: "Ulic, whom you want to capture alive, is the commander-in-chief leading the expedition against the Kingdom of Mos. According to the intelligence, his strength is at the peak of the Fate Palace Realm."

"It's not easy to capture him alive. With the troops of Moss, it may be difficult to do so. It may not even force Ulic to lead the army himself."

"If you want to surround and kill him, you must first form a strong vassal army and lure him out."

Chen Shijie took two steps in front of the sand table and pointed at the map. "Except for Moss, the three countries of Beitu, Sake, and Ande are all adjacent to the territory of the Sith tribe. It is easy to mobilize troops from these four countries to form a coalition."

"After the coalition is formed, we can attack the defense line east of the Weishan Glacier and force Ulic, who is fighting the 'Gallan Tribe' in the south, to lead the army to deal with it personally."

"We chose the battlefield, so the success rate of the roundup is higher."

"This person has to come because the Galan tribe is just a tribe. But if we defeat the four-nation coalition, the Sith tribe can occupy a large area of ​​land in the east, making it impossible for the southeast of Weishan to pose a threat."

"With such temptation, I think Ulic will definitely be willing to try it."

Zhao Xing praised: "Not bad, you are worthy of it."

Originally, he was worried that Chen Shijie had been the magistrate of Pingyuan for too long and had not been in the army for over a hundred years, so he didn't know how to fight a war.

But now it seems that Xiao Chen's military skills have not declined at all.

In just a short while, a rough plan was given.

Chen Shijie discussed the matter with Zhao Xing calmly, and soon Mi Fu also joined the discussion.

Zhao Xing found that what he thought was very similar to his own, and in some places even more detailed. It was obvious that Chen Shijie had done enough homework in the past few months.

The reason why Chen Shijie acted like this was, firstly, because of his personality, and secondly, because he felt that his promotion was purely due to Zhao Xing's help.

Mi Fu was very strong and practiced three schools of thought. Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing were also very strong and came from prominent families. What did Chen Shijie have?

He felt that he was no match for the other three adjutants in any aspect, so he had no choice but to work hard.

The three discussed for a long time.

After the Shensu warship arrived at the territory of Moss Kingdom, it turned on stealth.

Zhao Xing created a clone and went to meet the kings of the four countries, namely Mos, Beitu, Sake and Ande, in secret.

The plan started in late August, and it went smoothly for the three countries of Moss, Sake and Ander.

They were originally a vassal state of the Great Zhou and admired the culture of the Great Zhou. After being taught by two emperors, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, they became more confident when Zhao Xing, the special envoy from the superior country, arrived and quickly agreed to send troops.

When they arrived at the Kingdom of Beitu, problems arose.

King Beitu warmly received Zhao Xing and they chatted for six days. King Beitu was very enthusiastic, but when it came to sending troops, King Beitu became hesitant and changed the subject.

On the sixth day, King Beitu disappeared even from seeing Zhao Xing.

Even the envoy's attitude became somewhat cold.

"It seems that this King Bei Tu has already had rebellious intentions. Humph, barbarians are really untrustworthy!" Mi Fu, who went to look for the envoy again but was perfunctorily sent back, was a little angry. "If you ask me, this King Bei Tu must have surrendered to the Si Kingdom."

"He may not have voted yet." Chen Shijie said, "His enthusiasm in the past few days did not seem fake. His sudden change of attitude may mean that the envoy from the Sith Nation has also arrived."

Zhao Xing said, "Beitu Country has not yet faced the threat of the Xisi Country and has not been truly attacked by the Xisi people. They may not be able to make up their minds so quickly."

"King Beitu is a strong man. He is stronger than the kings of the other three countries. We should strive for him if we can."

"Wait for news from Zhang Ning."

Zhang Ning is the envoy to the Beitu Kingdom. He has lived in the Beitu Kingdom for more than a hundred years and was sent here in the early days of Dazhi.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall man with a burly figure, wearing armor and carrying a sword on his back, walked in hurriedly.

"Lord Jun Yi, my Lords, I have received news that King Beitu secretly met with the envoy of the Sith Kingdom and suddenly strengthened the defense of the royal city. I am afraid he is going to surrender to the Sith Kingdom!"

"Before the official order is issued, I will escort Lord Jun Yi and the two of you out of the city!"

In another post house in Beituwang City.

A Sith man with gills behind his ears, three horizontal lines on his forehead, and what seemed to be a blue fluorescent light flowing was resting in the museum.

There were several Sith people nearby who were also waiting for something.

Suddenly, a figure walked in hurriedly.

"Envoy Wu Yuan, I have received news that King Beitu has been persuaded by the special envoy of the Great Zhou and has suddenly strengthened the defense of the royal city. He is determined to attack our country!"

"This place has become dangerous, please leave immediately!"

When Wu Yuan heard this, his pupils shrank.

The Beitu Royal City was built on the mountain, and the imperial palace was built on the highest peak.

At this moment, in a palace, a figure stood quietly on a high platform, overlooking the inn at the foot of the mountain.

He is the king of the Beitu Kingdom and a famous first-class strongman in the Western Continent. He has been involved in the expansion of the Sith tribe for nearly a hundred years.

The Beitu Kingdom had never been invaded because of the reputation of King Beitu.

"Father."

A blond and blue-eyed young man approached from behind King Beitu.

"Yi, how's it going?"

The eldest prince, Yi, is the eldest son of King Beitu and is also a first-rank Fate Palace realm.

"Father, the news has been leaked to the envoys from both the Great Zhou and the Sith."

After a pause, the eldest prince asked in confusion: "Father, whose side are we on? Why did you spread such false news to them?"

"Yi, what do you think?"

The eldest prince Yi pondered, "Compared to the giant of Da Zhou, the Sith are short but strong. His threat is imminent, especially the great Venerable Deus, who is mysterious and powerful."

"The Great Zhou is a giant, but its majesty is far beyond the Central Plains. Since the end of the last great emperor, he has rarely looked towards the Western Continent."

"If I had to choose, I think I would choose to ally with the Sith."

"Why?" King Beitu asked his son the reason calmly.

"Wu Yun is a first-rank official, but that Yi Gong is only a second-rank official." The eldest prince pondered, "Moss has been asking for help for many years, but no one from the Great Zhou has come. Those who have come are officials of low power. They only want to use the power of the vassal states to resolve the dispute."

"That official named Zhao Xing said he was the brother of the new emperor, but his last name wasn't even Ji. It was obviously just a bluffing title."

"Over the past hundred years, the control of the Great Zhou over the vassal states has weakened. Regardless of the reason, it proves that the Great Zhou's rule over this area is declining."

"So I think we should stand on the side of the Sith."

"The Beitu people only fight for themselves." King Beitu said calmly, "We will help whoever is stronger in the Western Continent."

"Just wait and see who is more determined."

…………

Inside the posthouse, Zhao Xing, who had received the news, shook his head and said, "We can't leave."

"Sir, it will be too late if you don't leave now." Zhang Ning said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Ning, have you found out where the Sith envoy lives?" Zhao Xing asked.

"I know." Zhang Ning nodded, "My Lord, you want to..."

"That's right." A hint of murderous intent appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes. "If we kill the messenger of Sith, King Bei Tu will have no way to retreat."

The Great Zhou had not demonstrated its majesty in the Western Continent for nearly two hundred years. Zhao Xing was well aware of King Beitu's predicament and concerns.

He helps whoever is stronger!
If Zhao Xing just left, King Beitu would definitely join forces with the Sith tribe.

"King Beitu is a strong man, how could he not have this much control and let people find out what's going on in the palace?"

"If I leave, it proves that Da Zhou has no determination at all and will not invest the energy to do this."

"Now that you know the location of the Sith Embassy, ​​it must be that King Bei Tu deliberately let us know."

"Zhang Ning, do you dare to follow me and kill them to show the might of our dynasty?"

Zhang Ning smiled and said, "Lord Zhao, when I came here, I was wearing armor and carrying a sword. I was ready to die."

"Okay, you lead the way!"

"As ordered!"

…………

Zhao Xing, Zhang Ning, Mi Fu and Chen Shijie quickly left the embassy and sneaked towards the embassy of the Xisi tribe along the wide avenue of the royal city.

When the four arrived at the Sith tribe's inn, they found that it was already empty.

"Huh? No?" Zhang Ning's face changed slightly. "I have already confirmed it myself. They are staying in this inn."

"Maybe he went out or left?" Mi Fu said.

"The things are still there, but the people are gone. They can't have left." Chen Shijie glanced around. "There are still a lot of ceremonial items of the Sith tribe here. It's impossible for them to not even take this with them."

"Then there is only one possibility." Zhao Xing laughed, "The Sith envoy also had the same idea as us and went to kill us."

"Let's go back!"

This time, Zhao Xing no longer sneaked around, but walked openly.

Just after coming out of the inn and before I had walked far, I ran into a team of eight people. The leader had three blue horizontal lines on his forehead and was wearing black armor.

The robes and armor of the others were all emblazoned with the three-pattern divine seal unique to the Sith.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

The two groups of people made eye contact and immediately confirmed each other's identities.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Both sides did not hesitate for a moment and started to act immediately.

Wu Yuan's figure twisted, and the next moment he appeared in the sky and punched into the air.

"Oh!"

Debris filled the air and Zhao Xing's body dissipated.

However, more "Zhao Xing" appeared in all directions.

Wu Yuan frowned.

He was in the late stage of the Fate Palace Realm, and the other party was only at the second level of perfection. He had clearly locked onto the other party, but it turned out to be a fake body?
“Swish, swish, swish, swish~”

Wu Yuan's figure was extremely fast and he quickly soared into the sky. In an instant, hundreds of phantoms appeared in the sky.

Each phantom appeared behind Zhao Xing, and its fists carried three strange intersecting lights, as if three cracks appeared in space.

Punch out.

"boom!"

Hundreds of Zhao Xings disappeared.

However, higher up, a similar number of Zhao Xings appeared.

"Another fake body?"

Wu Yuan was even more surprised.

He couldn’t tell them apart the first time, so the second time he chose to destroy both of the opponent’s fake bodies.

But why are there more and more of them?
Zhao Xing's real body jumped out from behind a clone.

Looking down quietly.

Ever since he practiced "The Divine Art of Soldiers", his [Divine Tree Leap] had undergone a qualitative change.

No longer requires living plants to jump.

His original body can jump out from any of his clones.

"Die! Dark God Prison!"

Wu Yuan was filled with murderous rage, and the black light spread, and the whole world seemed to be darkened.

The Dark Prison of Absolute Destiny is not only "dark" in the five senses, but even the soul leaves the body and the perception of fate will fall into "darkness".

Of course, Wu Yuan couldn't even black out the enemy's soul vision, let alone black out the fate perception of the Fate Palace Realm and the Heavenly Luck Realm.

But its domain has also reached the third level. Faced with such a crushing blow, the official of the Great Zhou should be dead.

But...no!
Zhao Xing still exists.

He just looked down at Wu Yuan from high in the sky.

In a distant palace, on a high mountain.

There was some surprise in King Beitu's eyes.

Wu Yuan's strength was within his expectations.

However, Zhao Xing exceeded his imagination. He saw that Zhao Xing was extraordinary, but he did not expect him to be so extraordinary.

"You can actually jump around in Wu Yuan's rule domain. What kind of trick is this?"

King Beitu thought he had seen the world.

But he had never seen such a situation before.

It is impossible for a person to not have his or her original self. Although King Beitu could not tell which one was the original self, he could be sure that Zhao Xing’s original self was definitely among them.

But although Zhao Xing clearly has no domain, he can jump within Wu Yuan's rule domain.

He really couldn't understand it.

In the sky, Zhao Xing appeared again, looking at the surprised Wu Yuan below.

It’s not that he doesn’t have domain, but he has already used it!
"After realizing the Heavenly Time Realm in the 92nd year of the Eiji Era, I realized the Self-Realm Grass Man Realm at the end of the 1st year of the Genshou Era, achieving 'rule jumping'."

"Based on the clones of the Myriad Laws Grass Man, the scope of my own Grass Man domain is completely determined by the number of clones."

Taking the straw man as the base point, jumping around in the inner five elements world, this is the realm of the self that has never appeared before!
Because this is what Zhao Xing realized based on the 'scapegoat' from the spiritual era of his previous life, combined with the Yin-Yang Self Sutra, the Divine Art of Soldiers, and the use of the five elements of spiritual energy.

"I have realized this realm of my true self and have achieved the rule-jumping between the inner worlds. This can truly be called a life-saving skill. However, this is not a true 'scapegoat' because you cannot jump between scapegoats."

By jumping through the inner world, even Wu Yuan realized the realm of rules.

However, the domain of the ego faction is a world of its own, and is little affected by the oppression of the rules of the outside world.

Even within the opponent's rule domain, Zhao Xing can complete the jump.

Even if it was a true super-first-class master, it would be difficult to capture Zhao Xing's true form.

It is already difficult to train the Wanfa Grass Man, and one has to comprehend the realm of self-rules, and have a large amount of spiritual energy and the magical skills of soldiers as reference. The added difficulty is simply beyond imagination.

However, once you comprehend it, you will be one version ahead of the original divine skill! This is also the important reason why Zhao Xing prioritized comprehending the "Soldier's Divine Art" back then.

"The movements, techniques, and domains used by Wu Yuan all give me a strange feeling."

"His method has obviously not reached the ultimate, but he has already realized the third-level dark field?" Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"The intelligence says he is Ulic's brother. It seems that killing him can also get some useful information."

"Try my domain too!"

After luring Wu Yuan into the air three times in a row, Zhao Xing had already arranged the ultimate cloud method in the air.

When Wu Yuan wanted to attack for the fourth time, he found that Zhao Xing had completely disappeared.

He found himself in a cloud space.

"What?! What kind of spell is this!?"

Dark Cloud suddenly felt something was wrong, and he wanted to rush out, but he found that the clouds around him suddenly began to flow.

"Om~"

The cloud space was spinning rapidly, ten suns appeared in the sky, and the cloud world began to rotate spells.
