Chapter 225: Goals
Before withstanding the huge impact and domination brought about by the rise of the East Imperial Palace, Tiannan had been calm for more than two years, and it was foreseeable that even if Li Tianlan had returned to Xuanyuan City, the current Xuanyuan City and the Eastern Imperial Palace were still in the stage of primitive accumulation, and the unimaginably huge wealth of the Eastern Imperial Palace needed to be digested slowly, Shu Mountain, the City of Sighs, and the Yao Chi that could be expected, as well as the remnants of the most complex Shengshi Fund and the Reincarnation Palace, also needed to be slowly integrated, and the young people of the Eastern Imperial Palace also needed time to grow.
These things look complicated, but they are actually not much confusing.
Situ Cangyue is here, Dongcheng is invincible, and Qin Weibai is here.
The most important thing is that Li Tianlan is here.
This also means that the process of integrating all aspects of power by the East Imperial Palace may be complicated, but there will be no troubles and undercurrents.
What the East Palace needs most now is time.
Time to slowly digest these results.
Judging from the family background and hidden heritage of several major forces, the East Palace actually does not need to expand externally at all, as long as the power of Sigh City, Shushan, Yaochi and Reincarnation Palace is digested, with the establishment of the new group, the East Palace can already become one of the largest super forces in Middle-earth and even the entire dark world.
In other words, the current East Palace, low-key development is more in their interests than high-profile expansion.
Everyone can see this clearly, and Li Tianlan can naturally understand it too.
So everyone can be sure that, at least for the time being, the development of the East Imperial Palace may not directly affect the pattern of Tiannan.
Until the Eastern Imperial Palace is truly integrated, the young Eastern Emperor will not be in a hurry to rule Tiannan.
Because he needs time.
This is really just a matter of time for the East Palace.
But for the other forces in Tiannan, as long as the day when the East Imperial Palace completely ruled Tiannan did not come, then they still had a chance to turn the tables.
No one can see the opportunity yet, but no one will deny that it doesn't exist.
Be optimistic, what if the Eastern Emperor falls one day?
After all, the supreme Zhongzhou Sword Emperor can be terminated by a sword, and the growing Tianjiao may not be without accidents.
Tiannan without the East Imperial Palace is still their Tiannan, a Tiannan that has become richer and even crazy because the Eastern Imperial Palace has existed.
For more than two years, although Tiannan secretly had occasional turbulent waves, most of the time it was calm, watching the increasingly powerful East Imperial Palace rise by his side, watching Li Tianlan return, to this day, there is still no force withdrawing from Tiannan.
Everyone was thinking about how to destroy the East Palace and divide the property of the East Palace by the way, but again, none of the forces put it into action.
Calm.
Calm and quiet.
In the southernmost part of Tiannan, the two cities controlled by the Burning Legion are peaceful.
In the northernmost part of Tiannan, the city of Yongbyon, which was occupied by the Free Army, had begun to secretly prepare to merge with Xuanyuan City, and the two cities were as harmonious.
Liberty City, located in the middle of Tiannan, is a city where countless forces in the dark world gather together, and there is some chaos here, but it is only relatively speaking, each force is relatively controlled, and there is no large-scale friction.
And Tiandu City, which is on the same level as Liberty City, is even more stable and silent.
More than two years ago, Tiandu Purgatory gradually withdrew from the East Island, took root in Tiannan, and renamed the city where it was located Tiandu City.
Today's Tiandu Purgatory still has a lot of power in the East Island, but it is far from two years ago, the headquarters is in Tiannan, and it has not returned to the Middle Continent, and has also left the East Island, such an action will
made both Nakasu and Dongdao dissatisfied, but it also did not touch the bottom line of either side.
From a national point of view, whether it is Zhongzhou or Dongdao, they all want to turn the super combat power of Li Fanatic and the huge force of Tiandu Purgatory into a part of themselves, two years is not a long time, and both sides are still waiting for Li Fanatic's choice.
The Tiandu City at night is quiet and depressing.
Compared with today's rapid development of Xuanyuan City, Tiandu Purgatory did not invest too much in the headquarters of Tiannan, when it was not called Tiannan but belonged to Annan, it was not a developed area in the relatively backward Annan, and the development was extremely backward.
Li Fanatic changed the name of the city, but basically did not change the facilities here, the majestic Tongtian Pavilion that once appeared in the East Island Tiandu is gone, and the Tiandu Purgatory has demarcated an area in the center of the new Tiandu City, and the planning has been done casually, simple and pragmatic, striving for safety and airtightness, without the slightest luxury.
About half the size of a small town in the center of the city was the headquarters of today's Purgatory.
Only the elite of Tiandu Purgatory can enter and exit freely in the area of the headquarters, refusing to approach any forces and civilians.
In fact, there are very few other forces and civilians.
The major forces will not give up their attention to Tiandu Purgatory, but as the chaos in the Snow Country gets longer and longer, people are more and more uncertain about the state of Li Fanatics, and after Dawn also enters the invincible realm, there are almost no people who come to fight Tiandu City, and the most important thing is that this is not Xuanyuan City, and Tiandu Purgatory has almost no investment here, so naturally it is not very valuable for planning.
Now there are a lot of other forces left here, but they are also very few, and there are basically only one or two people left here in each organization, monitoring the situation of Tiandu Purgatory.
As for civilians, there are even fewer here.
When it was still Tiannan here, it was a relatively lively city compared to Yongbyon and Tunan, and the permanent population was more than the two cities in the north, about 200,000 people, with this area being named Tiannan, a considerable number of people fled back to Annam, and some people went to the area controlled by the Burning Legion, when Xuanyuan City was officially established and developed more than two years ago, most of the people who stayed here went to Xuanyuan City, and it was destined to be difficult to obtain the right to live in Xuanyuan City, but it was a city that was developing and expanding all the time, and there was no lack of resources and money, so I thought that there were enough job opportunities here and there, at least you can have a full meal.
The remaining small number of people went to the Free City, and compared with the Tiandu City, which was lifeless and had no desire for development and forcibly grabbed a large amount of land and food, the Free City, where the major forces poured into each other, also had the opportunity to eat well compared to the Tiandu City.
As a result, Tiandu City became even more desolate.
According to the imstrict statistics, there are only about 40,000 people in Tiandu City now, of which nearly 30,000 belong to Tiandu Purgatory, and nearly 3,000 people have now become the peripheral force of Tiandu Purgatory.
In the rest, it's basically people who have nowhere to go or who have little nostalgia for life.
Tramps, gamblers, drunkards, junkies, prostitutes...
These people roamed the periphery of the city like walking corpses, and on the whole, the entire city looked like a city that was lifeless on the inside and full of negative emotions on the outside.
Erosion, depravity, madness, greed, ugliness, darkness...
Outside the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory, it seems that there is a strong negative energy exuding all the time.
But Phoenix still loves it.
These two years or so were the happiest years of her life.
Pregnant and giving birth, she is a little weak but will still accompany her often
With her man, the child is growing up little by little, the situation is slowly stabilizing, and the atmosphere is gradually calming down.
Every day here is her happiest time.
She likes Lee Maniac and has liked him for many, many years.
In order to chase the footsteps of Li Fanatics, Tianjin herself is not outstanding, and she completely relied on her hard work to make herself a master of the half-step invincible realm, and became one of the first three high-level leaders of Tiandu Purgatory.
In order to make Li Fanatic look at her more, she used all means, many tasks that others didn't want to do, she did, and many people that others didn't want to kill, she killed.
For decades, Li Fanatic hibernated in the East Island, and Phoenix's hands were full of blood, not only the blood of enemies, but also the blood of his own people.
So even inside the Tiandu Purgatory, many veteran masters didn't like her existence, at least what she could clearly feel was that Dawn, who was of the same status as her, had killed her more than once.
Phoenix didn't care about that, the madness of treating a man as all made her almost fearless of everything, so for more than twenty years, she became the best sword in the hands of Li Maniac.
In terms of combat power, the phoenix is not as good as the dawn of dawn, but she is indeed the best to use.
It's just that this sword has an incomparably strong emotion.
So when Li Fanatic brought back Prince Ziyue of Dongdao, but Ziyue was never able to get pregnant, on a special day, she found Li Fanatic and said that she didn't want to be his best sword, but also wanted to be her best woman.
Li Fanatics, who lost his son, was extremely paranoid during that time, so he did not refuse Phoenix's request.
The pregnancy process seems to be going well.
But the difficult thing is that Phoenix has made countless preparations before this.
Chaos broke out in Snow Country.
She and the son of the Lee maniac were born.
Tiandu Purgatory came to Tiannan.
Everything completely smoothed out.
During the period of recuperation, Li Fanatic would often accompany Phoenix, would take care of her mood, doted on their children, she let go of her martial arts, let go of her power in Tiandu Purgatory, and she gradually felt the gentleness of Li Fanatics.
In the past two years, she seems to have truly changed from a useful tool to a woman.
With Li Fanatics, with his own children, in the peaceful time of Tiannan, it was like the most ordinary family of three.
It's just that such a good day seems destined to have an end.
When Li Fanatic left Tiandu City for more than three days, although Phoenix was no longer in charge of specific affairs in Tiandu Purgatory, she could still clearly feel the changes in the atmosphere inside Tiandu Purgatory.
The first to disappear was the Li Maniac.
Then Dawn and a large number of the elites of the Heavenly Capital Purgatory also began to disappear.
Tiannan is still calm.
But the inside of Tiandu Purgatory has already begun to surge.
Phoenix began to fidget, and in just a few days, she had woken up from her dreams several times.
She asked the Lee maniac.
But Li Fanatic seems to have really regarded her as his own woman and protects her very well, so he doesn't say anything to her at all.
Phoenix didn't know what the hell Li Maniac wanted to do this time.
But she understood very well the ultimate goal of Li Fanatic, and she could also understand the reason why he established a headquarters in Tiandu City at will, but allowed Tiandu City to continue to erode.
Because Li Fanatic did not want to stay in Tiandu City from beginning to end.
His ultimate goal, the headquarters of his ideal Tiandu Purgatory, was Xuanyuan City.
It always has been.
If this goal is interpreted from another angle, that is, killing Li Tianlan is what Li Fanatics want to do the most now.
