Seven years, whether long or short, is enough time for a lot of things to happen.
The war between the two places ended, and the Nine Kingdoms began to lick their wounds. This battle was severely damaged, but fortunately they won in the end.
A destroyed country needs to be rebuilt, which is a very tedious and complicated matter. Moreover, it will take many years for a rebuilt country to truly get on the right track, and it cannot be done overnight.
Speaking of which, this was also the most difficult war between two places that the Nine Kingdoms had ever experienced. When the situation was at its most critical, nearly half of the territory of the Nine Kingdoms was occupied by the three religions.
Many places were in dire straits, but fortunately the Upper Three Kingdoms still retained enough strength. The reconstruction of the Lower Three Kingdoms and the Middle Three Kingdoms was carried out by the Upper Three Kingdoms.
The layout of the Nine Kingdoms has also become somewhat different from the past because of this war between the two places.
Before the war between the two places, the Three Kingdoms and the Dan Alliance stood side by side with almost the same strength. They could be called the two pillars of the Nine Kingdoms.
But after the war, the Dan Alliance went downhill, with its strength greatly reduced and people's hearts dispersed. Especially the most important one, the Long family, chose to leave the Dan Alliance, which led to a large number of alchemy families following the Long family and leaving the Dan Alliance.
A large part of the Alchemy Alliance is composed of the Alchemy family headed by the Long family. Once the Long family leaves, other Alchemy families will naturally leave one after another.
Without these alchemy families, the strength of the Alchemy Alliance is less than half of what it was at its peak, and the number of registered alchemists has dropped sharply. Many mature and prudent alchemists left the Alchemy Alliance in frustration, and the young alchemists also left the Alchemy Alliance for the sake of the Alchemy Alliance. Feeling chilled, they left one after another.
If it weren't for the great cause of the Danmeng family, and there are still a group of high-level people loyal to the Danmeng, the Danmeng would have been maintained.
The power of the Dan Alliance weakened, and the Three Kingdoms were also damaged in the war. On the contrary, those Alchemy families who broke away from the Dan Alliance gathered together and became the third major force rising in the Nine Kingdoms.
This large force is headed by the Long family, and is basically composed of alchemy families. Together, they can compete with the Three Kingdoms and the Alchemy Alliance.
This is also what happens after every war between the two places. There will always be some new forces rising up, wanting to take a piece of the vast land of the Nine Kingdoms.
Regarding the rise of the Alchemy Family, the Upper Three Kingdoms were very calm, without any worries or obstructions, and even secretly provided some help and support.
On the contrary, the Alchemy League was worried about the Alchemy family's twisted behavior.
What the Danmeng is worried about is that the Dandao family will get together to take the place of the Danmeng and become another Danmeng.
Because they are all forces based on alchemy and alchemy masters, the alchemy aristocratic families gather together, and the Long family is a big family with a profound foundation and great appeal, the alchemy alliance that is now sunsetting in the west is indeed vulnerable to impact.
Fortunately, the Long family and other alchemy families did not say anything about establishing a second alchemy alliance, but they also cut off all contact with the alchemy alliance. Even if the alchemy alliance took the initiative to show goodwill to the major alchemy aristocratic families, it was just a warm-hearted gesture. Cold ass.
The most uncomfortable thing for the Alchemy Alliance is that most of the alchemists who left the Alchemy Alliance have gone to the Alchemy Family.
The alchemy families also welcome everyone. As long as you have not done anything harmful to nature, you can become a guest of each alchemy family and enjoy sufficient cultivation resources.
You must know that all those alchemy families are extremely rich. The longer the alchemy family exists, the deeper the family wealth is.
The combined background of these alchemy families is even better than the current alchemy alliance.
Whether it is for the reputation of the Alchemy Family or for the generous remuneration, those alchemists who have nowhere to go will choose to join the Alchemy Family.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a lot of things will happen in the Alchemy world of the Nine Kingdoms in the future. They seem to be in peace now, but when it comes to interests, the Alchemy Alliance and the Alchemy Family will eventually come to conflict.
The Three Kingdoms are happy to see the birth of this situation. No matter what the three emperors say, they do not want to see a powerful Dan alliance. This situation of two heroes competing will not allow the Three Kingdoms to see another powerful Dan alliance. The emergence of the alliance will make it easier for the Upper Three Kingdoms to better control the vast land of the Nine Kingdoms.
In fact, many powerful figures in the Upper Three Kingdoms are planning to swallow up the Alchemy Alliance and the Alchemy Family.
It's just that such a plan is not realistic at the moment. After the war between the two places, all parties have been injured, and it is unlikely that anything too drastic will happen at this time.
Within the territory of the former Ling Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms of China, as far as the eye can see, there are large areas of ruins.
The once prosperous Ling Kingdom was reduced to scorched earth during the war between the two places. Fortunately, the Ling Kingdom was not completely destroyed like the Lower Three Kingdoms. The royal family still exists and has passed through the most difficult period. Now is the time to restore the country.
In a desolate and ruined city in the northern part of Ling Kingdom, there are many corpses. There were great battles here and many warriors died.
A group of five people came to this ruined city. Everyone was wearing black robes, and their bodies were filled with a sinister atmosphere.
"Haha, so many corpses allow me to refine a batch of corpse poison pills." One of the young men in black robe looked at the many corpses not far away and couldn't help but laugh.
"The war is over, just when I'm waiting for Poison Master to show off his skills." Another old woman said in a dull tone.
"Hehe, the Pill Alliance is now our Poison Master's arbiter. Even if we do something extraordinary, no one will tell us what to do." said the skinny old man.
This group of five people is the Poison Pill Master, who came to this desolate and ruined city, preparing to refine poison pills using the corpses that have not been cleared away in the city.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the young man in black robe who spoke first raised his head. The sunlight was a bit dazzling, making the young man squint his eyes and saw a figure standing on the dilapidated city wall.
"It turns out there are still living people in this city." The young man in black robe sneered.
The other four people also heard the sound and looked around, and they all saw the figure standing high up.
"Hey, I'm lucky. I met a living person and caught him to test the medicine." The old woman said with joy in her eyes.
The figure standing on the high place jumped up, seemingly tall, but as it fell, it was as light as a feather and made no sound.
When the five Poison Masters saw this man's appearance clearly, they couldn't help but be stunned.
This man was wearing a scarlet robe, but he had a jet-black armor underneath. He wore a golden tiger-head mask on his head, and he was carrying something behind him. He couldn't tell what it was, but it seemed to be wrapped in gray cloth.
"Pretend to be a ghost." The young man in black robe sneered, feeling that the person in front of him was very interesting.
The next moment, the sword flashed, and the head of the young man in black robe fell to the ground before the words disappeared.
