The county is a palace for the study of the virtuous.
The old teacher of the academy looked up at the sky in the distance. Even the county began to fall into chaos. He already knew what happened in Yangjing. Many disciples of the academy, as well as the nine ministers and scholars of Yangjing, had suffered a great disaster and their faces turned bitter at this moment.
However, since the first master Tang Li of Shangxian Academy, the academy has established a rule that masters of Shangxian Academy are not allowed to serve as officials, let alone participate in the Yiding Reform.
Even though the master of Shangxian Academy had predicted the changes that would happen in the world, and had sent many disciples to deal with the chaos in Yangjing, he did not expect that the Great Pan would not decline from its peak, but collapse in an instant and disappear in an instant, leaving no one prepared.
The old master held the jade slip of preaching in his hand, and the righteous energy emanating from his body was so strong that it reached the sky and the earth. Over the county, he looked no different from the Great Pan Dragon Pillar of the past, and was as majestic as the sun.
However, even with this power far beyond that of ordinary immortals, it is impossible to stop the aging of the body. Every academy teacher has extraordinary abilities after inheriting the jade slip of teachings, but when the time is right, they can only rush to the Xundu Academy.
The Master raised his head, looked at the portraits of the five saints on the wall, and suddenly sighed deeply.
"The building will collapse, and the people of the world will suffer disaster again."
At this moment, with his sigh, the whole room suddenly lit up with light. Among the five saints' paintings, the first one, the Fengsheng painting, suddenly rolled up with brilliant light.
In an instant, the huge Shangxian Academy was covered by the light, and the room was full of fragrance. More than 3,000 disciples in the academy looked towards the attic where the teacher was in surprise and doubt.
The Master saw that the statue of the saint moved, turned its head and looked at him, and a white light fell down and landed in his hand.
The Master looked at his hand and saw an imperial seal on his empty palm. When he raised his head again, the portrait had become dull and no longer as magical as before.
The next day, the gates of the academy were closed, and the three thousand virtuous disciples dispersed, no longer paying attention to worldly affairs.
The goshawk spread its wings and soared across the sky, passing over the mirror-like Fengyang Lake, and the steep Luotian Mountain was looming in the distance.
The goshawk finally landed towards a grand city at the foot of Luotian Mountain and flew into a beautiful and spacious mansion. Immediately, someone reached out and captured the goshawk in the sky, pinched its neck, and read from its eyes the message that someone had left in the goshawk's soul.
Talismans invisible to the naked eye flew into his eyes, and then he wrote words on them and quickly handed them up, hurriedly handing them to the owner deep in the courtyard.
This place is Luoyang County, which is one of the forty-three counties in Dapan. The ruins of the former Dashao King's city can be seen dozens of miles away from the county seat.
Ever since the belief in the Dragon King Temple swept across the southern coast, Dapan's control over the south has been declining. After the destruction of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, the Dapan court also gradually weakened, and the situation here became increasingly bizarre.
Deep in the courtyard of the mansion, a man was sitting at a desk reviewing official documents. This man looked tall and mighty, but also had a hint of scholarly air. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he still exuded an aura of majesty.
If people from the present world were here, they would probably be able to recognize this person's identity in an instant. This person is none other than Kong Huai, the disciple of the former alchemist Lu Zhou, who inherited the title of alchemist and was also the previous owner of the divine artifact Suiren Bow. However, compared to many years ago, he seems more stable and sophisticated.
After being sent to Dongzhou, he has been lying in wait here, waiting for the opportunity. Now he has become the prefect of Luoyang County, guarding the area and being an important official of Dapan.
More importantly, within a few days, a golden dragon of luck came across the sky and suddenly flew into the mansion. Kong Huai, who was sleeping at the time, suddenly woke up. Although he did not notice any changes in his body, he vaguely sensed something.
"My Lord! Urgent news has arrived from Yangjing, and the message is being sent by flying eagle!"
Kong Huai immediately stopped writing, put down the official document on the shore, and asked the attendant beside him to take it. There were two short lines of words written on the paper: "The last King of Shao, Che Yan, appeared in the world, transformed into King Yama and caused chaos in Yangjing. Taishou Mountain Patriarch Jia Yi and Fengdu Taoist joined forces to suppress King Yama."
"The emperor is dead, Yangjing is without a master, the dragon energy pillars of the country have collapsed, and the dragons of luck have chosen their masters."
Kong Huai read the last four words out loud, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on his face: "The world... is in chaos!"
Kong Huai immediately stood up, dismissed his attendants, and summoned all his trusted associates from Luoyang County.
A few days later, the gate of the county magistrate's residence was filled with carriages. Scholars and military officers dressed in official robes arrived here one by one. Not only were there people from Luoyang County, but also from other counties and even scholars from the academy and monks from various sects.
These people came here in a hurry because they had heard the news of the Yangjing disaster. The emperor had passed away, the mountains and tombs had fallen, and all the counties in the royal capital and the north had fallen into complete chaos. The south was remote and had only just received the news, but many people were already ready to make a move.
Everyone knows that the dragon pillar of the country has collapsed, the emperor was trapped and died in Yangjing, and the situation of fighting for the dragon in the world has once again formed. The real dragon they want to support is naturally the one in front of them.
Kong Huai was wearing the county governor's official robes and sitting on the main seat. Many officials stood below him with their hands clasped together. "Tong Canjian Yushi, what is the current situation in the southern counties? How far have our previous plans progressed?"
A skinny middle-aged official stood up and said, "The previous Lihe Dragon King Fu Tu died at the hands of Ao Hong of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. The current Lihe Dragon King Fu Guang is supported by us, but he only has the Dragon King's Edict, but no corresponding merits, so he can only obey our orders."
Kong Huai asked: "What about the faith of the East China Sea Dragon Temple? Have they been controlled?"
The middle-aged official nodded and said, "All the Dragon God servants of the Dragon God Temple and the temple priests of the five prefectures and twenty-four counties have all become our people. As long as we raise our arms and call, the entire five southern counties will fall into our hands."
Kong Huai was not surprised at all, as if he had already known: "Where are the Academy and the Tianshi Sect?"
"Shangxian Academy has dispersed 3,000 disciples, many of whom have come to us. In addition, we have already started to contact the three academies and four major academies in the south."
Kong Huai: "Master of the academy, where is Shangxian Academy?"
Tong Can immediately said, "Shangxian Academy will not lean towards any one lineage. This has been the iron rule of Shangxian Academy since the time of Tang Sheng. Even the Master would not dare to break it."
Kong Huai didn't ask any more questions but nodded: "What about the Tianshi Sect?"
"I heard that the Tianshi sect has activated the mountain gate formation to seal off the mountain. Tianshi Zhang Yusu bowed to the two True Lords and went into seclusion."
As soon as Kong Huai heard the names of the two True Lords, he knew who they were talking about, and his brows twitched instantly: "Jia Yi and Fengdu True Lords, do you know where they are going?"
"I heard that the two True Lords have traveled together to the mountains and seas, and have already left Dongzhou. I'm afraid they will not interfere in the matter of the Mountain and River Changing Cauldron and the Dragon Fighting."
Not only Kong Huai, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. If these two beings who were like gods and Buddhas pressing down on the entire Dongzhou were still there, I'm afraid no one in Dongzhou would dare to move.
Dapan, who had suppressed the world for hundreds of years and was in decline but still in its heyday, was destroyed in an instant by the hands of King Yama, Che Yan, and Che Yan was suppressed by these two in the blink of an eye.
If these two were to make it known who they wanted to be emperor and establish a new dynasty, there would probably be no such thing as a fight for the dragon. Their power is so strong that it cannot be determined by luck.
"How many people are there in the Shendu Army now?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Lu Wu has already trained 8,000 Shendu troops in Songnan County and Songbei County. The troops have been assembled and are waiting for your dispatch."
All the soldiers of the Shendu Army have mastered the so-called Tiandu Divine Art, which is evolved from the secret art of heaven obtained from the corpses of heavenly soldiers in the past. This art is extremely rare and easy to practice but difficult to master.
Although ordinary martial arts techniques are also extremely difficult to practice, they are generally much faster than the Tiandu Divine Art. Moreover, after being cultivated, even if the Tiandu Divine Art is cultivated, it will not be able to defeat those martial arts practitioners in terms of magical attacks.
The only powerful thing is their method of combined combat. A first-level cultivator who has cultivated the Dutian Divine Art cannot even defeat those of the same level, but ten of them can easily defeat ten first-level cultivators, and a hundred of them can kill a second-level cultivator.
If they could gather tens of thousands of soldiers from the Divine Capital, coupled with multiple generals who had cultivated to the second level and commanders of the third level, they would be able to kill powerful cultivators and celestial demons in the realm of immortality. If they were led by a commander of the fourth level, they would be able to easily kill cultivators of the same level and dominate the world.
Theoretically, as long as you have enough people, you can even kill gods and immortals.
And now, when these tens of thousands of Shendu soldiers appear, the whole world will be changed. For the first time in Dongzhou, a situation will occur where a large army will be able to resist powerful monks. If Kong Huai can unify the world and train a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand Shendu soldiers, with several generals who have cultivated the Tiandu magic and reached the fourth level, it will be enough to suppress the world.
In the entire Dongzhou, there is no sect, family, or demon that can contend with this mighty heavenly army. Naturally, they can establish a truly humane imperial court that dominates the world and suppresses everything.
Half a month later, counties in the southern part of Dapan rose up in arms one after another, with heroes from all sides fighting for supremacy.
But in the end, Kong Huai, the prefect of Luoyang County, took steady steps and gradually annexed the two counties of Song and the three counties of Teng within a few months.
Finally, they encountered a strong enemy in Shaonan. The other side had an army of 80,000, all of whom were elite soldiers and generals. A large number of powerful warriors joined them. At the same time, all the major sects in the three counties of Shaonan fully supported and joined the fight for the dragon. There were also groups of monks who used secret techniques to disrupt Kong Huai's army.
General Xue Haishan led 8,000 Shendu troops and easily defeated tens of thousands of the enemy soldiers. A large number of warriors were killed, and hundreds of monks were wiped out in the sky by the bloody evil energy.
The name of the Shendu Army was known throughout the world. Kong Huai once again unified most of the territory of the former Dashao, but he did not inherit the title of the former Dashao and was called King Zhou.
The fighting and conflicts across the world have entered their most intense stage, with dragons and snakes mixed together and devouring each other.
Gradually, true dragons were born, and kings with the aura of true dragons and the image of emperors appeared in various parts of the world, and finally competed for the final position of emperor.
At this moment, Jia Yi and Fengdu crossed the vast sea and saw the storm-forbidden sea in the west.
