The whole war has calmed down, and the situation has fallen into a state of stalemate, and it is really difficult to conclude in a short period of time who will win or lose!

Mo Li and they didn't dwell too much on the existence of the trapped formation, this result was already a blessing in misfortune for them, and it was acceptable!

After they returned to the city, they did not lead the army to evacuate the border pass, because no one knew when the righteous qi barrier would be broken, so they must always be ready to deal with it!

Only the ink merchant returned to the imperial capital alone, and he had to coordinate the operation of the entire empire in the future!

The Junxuan Empire has been isolated, and they are now sitting on empty feet, no matter what it is!

In order to adhere to better and long-term effective development, ink merchants must summarize all resources as a whole, so that they can be easily distributed, and there must be no waste!

This is an extremely mind-consuming effort, but there is no way, among the brothers, he is the most careful at calculating, and others can't help if they want to!

Mo Shang was well aware of the severity of the situation, so as soon as he returned to the imperial palace, he immediately led the ministers to carry out the overall work!

Layers of orders were promulgated, from the imperial capital to the counties, and all the grain and grass materials of every household were collected and distributed by the imperial court!

The people have no complaints, because everyone knows that this is a necessary move, and this critical moment can only be overcome together, and no one wants to be alone!

After storing all the materials, the ink merchants formulated a series of distribution measures, regularly distributed things at fixed points, and at the same time cut down on food and clothing, so as to ensure survival to the greatest extent!

After a series of measures were promulgated, the state of the Junxuan Empire was stabilized, and there would be no more turmoil in a short period of time!

Sensing this, Mo Li and the others also put their minds at ease, and they could lead the army to garrison the border pass without worries, and confront the Ten Nations Alliance Army across a layer of barriers and a layer of formations!

In contrast, it is Xue Shihan who is the most pure!

After the battle reached a stalemate, she locked herself in a mansion and sealed the door with ice and snow, so that no outsiders could disturb her, not even Moli!

In this regard, the Mo Li brothers knew the reason very well in their hearts, and all they could do was to sigh and not blame!

Staying alone in the courtyard, Xue Shihan was motionless like an ice sculpture, and her eyebrows were full of sadness, which made people feel very pity!

Her heart was full of holes, and the boy who had made her feel like a deer was bumping into her heart fell in front of her like this, and the blow was too great!

In just a few years, first King Feng, then Mo Xuan, the two most important men in her life have left her, this is a cruel reality!

After the fall of his grandfather, Mo Xuan was the only bit of warmth left in Xue Shihan's heart, and now, this warmth has completely disappeared, and there is no trace left!

Her heart was cold, and when all the warmth was deprived, her mood changed drastically!

The outside world is freezing cold, and three feet of snow cover the bones, but Xue Shihan's heart is colder and more icy than the outside world!

She is just a weak woman, but she has suffered such a heavy blow and torture, how can people not feel pity!

However, there are two sides to everything, there are advantages and disadvantages, and this is no exception!

Although Xue Shihan's liver and intestines were broken, and the spiritual pillars had collapsed, the absolute coldness of her heart just matched a certain characteristic of the ice spirit body!

The ice spirit body is a unique and powerful physique, and only when you have experienced pure despair and coldness in your heart can you open up the power of your physique at a deeper level!

Today's Xue Shihan is in that state, so its strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and it can even destroy the country with one song, which can be called shocking!

In this regard, Xue Shihan herself didn't care at all, she sat alone in the courtyard, kept holding the immortal lock in her hand, and wiped it gently, her beautiful eyes were full of longing!

The immortal lock was slightly warm, as if the cold of the outside world could not affect it, and there was a residual breath of Mo Xuan on it!

It is the only thing left by Mo Xuan, and it is also the obsession that Xue Shihan cares about the most now!

Mo Xuan's shattered bones, acceptance rings, mysterious Dao species and other things that day all dissipated together!

No one knew where they went, they disappeared so suddenly, and even the ancestors of the Kingdom of God didn't find the slightest clue, which is really strange!

Xue Shihan also had doubts in her heart, and even had incredible conjectures, feeling that Mo Xuan was not crushed, but took them away through strange military techniques to create an illusion!

But the ensuing scene shattered the little girl's beautiful illusion, she knew that her brother Mo Xuan was indeed gone, otherwise she wouldn't have appeared!

She knew better than anyone the relationship between Mo Xuan and her brothers, and as long as he was alive, he would not let the brothers be in danger!

To this day, he still hasn't appeared, so what the facts are, Xue Shihan already knows it in her heart!

Every time she thought of this, Xue Shihan became more and more sad, she wanted to go back to the time when she studied in the military mansion in the past!

Although Mo Xuan and Ye Qingxuan were together at that time, he was still alive and could still see him, which was enough!

Xue Shihan has always been a simple girl, kind and simple, she doesn't want much, it is enough to stop and look at it from afar in the crowd!

It's a pity that the world has changed, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and all the good things of the past can only live in the memory, and they can never go back!

Xue Shihan really wanted to use ice and snow to seal herself up and sleep for a long time, but she couldn't do that!

The Junxuan Empire needs her, this is the empire laid down by her Mo Xuan brother, and she wants to guard the country for him!

Although Xiao Nizi's appearance is so delicate that it is distressing, her heart has long been strong enough after going through so many things!

The current battle situation is in a stalemate, so before the situation changes, she only plans to stay alone in the house all the time, hold the immortal lock, and see things and think about people!

Xue Shihan, who had been feeling the faint warmth of the Immortal Lock, didn't notice that the inside of the Immortal Lock had actually changed a little!

Inside that mysterious lock body, there is immeasurable vitality, and in the center of this immeasurable vitality, there is a figure gradually condensing, the speed is very slow, but it is real!

At this moment, this figure is only a preliminary condensation, with an outline, so fragile that it can be broken with a single stab!

Its core is not the breath of life in the immortal lock, but a cluster of fire and a wisp of obsession!

No one knows what's going on, it's all incredible, it's good, why does the Immortal Lock give birth to life?

No one can explain all this, but it's happening in real life, and no one else can believe it!

That figure, really like a shadow, is pitch black, only outline, and it is still in its infancy!

It is difficult to tell when it will fully condense and manifest, but one thing is for sure, it will eventually be born!

Lock life, is it not raised by heaven and earth? Then this is really like the legendary innate spirit, what is it, in the future, it will naturally reveal everything, now, I can't wait!

In front of the figure, a gift ring was quietly suspended in the breath of life, and there was an egg next to it, and it was faintly visible that there was a cute puppy figure sleeping!

On the other side, a terrifying crippled Dao was planted in the breath of life, and the breath was extremely terrifying!

This kind of surface is intertwined with hundreds of millions of wisps of blood, and the chaotic aura is swirling, as if it can suppress the heavens, and has the hegemony of exterminating everything!

It contains unimaginable killing power, extinction through the ages, only need to bloom a wisp to penetrate the world!

This Dao seed is too terrifying, although it is missing, there is only one kind of Dao power left, but it does not affect its ancient and vicissitudes of life in the slightest, it seems that nothing in the whole world can be more ancient than it!

In it, there is a kind of unruly murderous domineering, even if it is an immortal lock, it is difficult to suppress!

However, there is not only the Immortal Lock, but also a ...... Lock in lock!

It was a delicate little lock, far less peaceful than the immortal lock, and its domineering was no less than that of the Dao species!

At this moment, it was suspended above the Dao Seed, falling the chaotic light, and firmly suppressing it!

Even if it is a Dao species, it is impossible to move, as if it is congenitally restrained, and it is difficult to break free!

Under the containment of this lock within a lock, the Dao Seed has never caused any trouble, and everything in the Immortal Lock remains unchanged!

There is no concept of time here, it is an unexplained unknown space, more mysterious than the ends of the earth!

All the clues around us are showing who the condensed human form is!

All the mysteries will be revealed in the future!

All the changes in this place are covered by the immortal lock, so even Xue Shihan has never noticed it, and as for outsiders, it is even more impossible to perceive it!

Time passes slowly under such circumstances, and every day is more tormenting!

One year, two years, three years......

Three years later, the empire began to turn into a state of loneliness!

The monks are okay, but the most important thing is that the people have begun to suffer from hunger and famine!

The lack of heaven and earth spirit made the earth begin to dry up and become desolate, and cultivation could not be carried out at all, and the people could only eat the accumulated grain distributed regularly by the imperial court!

But this is by no means a long-term solution, even if the abundant materials accumulated before, it cannot last forever!

There are many people in the Junxuan Empire, even if one person only eats one bite of food a day, it is a massive consumption, and it can't be seen at first, but now that three years have passed, the surplus food has long been stretched!

On the other hand, the lack of heaven and earth essence also led to the ravages of plague diseases, and the people were weakened day by day due to the lack of food, and they could not resist the plague at all!

As early as two years ago, the plague began to appear, and now it is taking the lives of a large number of people every day!

The Junxuan Empire began to fall into a desperate situation, and the pressure on the ink merchant increased dramatically, but he didn't tell the brothers on the front line!

He didn't sleep, worked hard, and desperately controlled the situation within a certain range!

However, this is only for a short time!

Another year has passed, and the surplus food is almost exhausted, and the land has long since turned into a wasteland!

Many city-states have been buried by yellow sand, and the former green mountains and beautiful waters have become poor mountains and bad waters, and the people are struggling to make a living!

The plague is raging, a large number of people are dying every day, and the whole empire is gloomy!

At this time, let alone food, there is no water to drink!

At a glance, what was once a rich land is now a desert, full of loess and sand, not a single oasis, and all vegetation has withered!

The little green plants left were also frantically eaten by the hungry people, and they were so hungry that they almost began to eat the soil!

The loess is dry and hard, there is nothing when a shovel is inserted, there are dry cracked ravines everywhere, and there is no water source!

The sky above the empire was forever gray, and not a drop of rain fell for four years!

This is the real life of the miserable, the people are not happy, even if the ink merchants have peerless management talents, it is impossible to change this situation!

There are only two paths he can choose, one is to watch the people die, and the other is to open the barrier of righteousness and let the essence of the outside world pour in again!

Either way, it's going to be a dead end, the difference is just a difference in the way of death!

This is a veritable desperate situation, which makes Mo Shang feel a strong sense of powerlessness, and Shangguan Wuya and others outside the border gate sneered one after another!

In the border pass, countless soldiers were also hungry, but they still had resolute faces and never left their posts!

Compared with ordinary people, the lives of these soldiers are quite good, at least they can drink a bowl of porridge every day!

This is not because the ink merchants favor one over the other, but the people took the initiative to petition, no one persuaded them not to move, and in the end, all the soldiers could only accept it, and every time they drank porridge, they all burst into tears!

Everything is going into decay, and Mo Shang is undecided, and he wants to advise Mo Li several times that they open the barrier of righteousness, and fight to the death, it is better than starving to death and dying of illness step by step!

But in the end, he let go of this decision, and the blood flowing in his bones did not allow him to bow to the enemy!

Under such a devastated life and death dilemma, Mo Shang's extremely talented mind turned wildly, and finally came up with a next step!

He let out his words, willing to exchange all kinds of heavenly materials and earth treasures for food, water and other things, and those who come will not refuse!

After these words were transmitted, many external forces were moved!

Although the Junxuan Empire has just risen and the chassis is not large, it is only relative to the Kingdom of God!

In any case, it is also an empire, the land is vast and rich, and the divine objects in it must not be less, and the added up value is immeasurable, which is a huge wealth!

Thinking of this, many great forces have risen to be greedy, this is an excellent time to loot artifacts, how can you miss it!

As a result, after the news spread, many big forces that had originally stood by began to secretly send people to put pressure on them to enter the territory of the Junxuan Empire!

Although the Ten Divine Kingdoms were reluctant, they didn't dare to really offend the public, so they could only secretly curse the ink merchant for being cunning, and then turned a blind eye and opened some entrances in some areas for people from other Divine Kingdoms to enter!

These forces also gave them face, but they were greedy for looting and exploiting, and they never secretly helped, and over time, Shangguan Wuya no longer rejected this secret transaction, but was happy to see the process of Junxuan Empire being hollowed out step by step!

They were not worried that the ink merchant and the others would be able to take advantage of this to turn the tables, because this kind of transaction could not last long, and when the artifact was hollowed out, who would pay attention to this group of people who would surely die?

No matter how you look at it, this is a dying struggle, at most, it will not have much impact on the overall trend if it lasts for a while!

The ink merchant also knew this, but he had no choice but to sacrifice many divine objects in the empire and make unequal exchanges in order to gain time to survive!

The ink merchant is an extremely smart and shrewd businessman, but this time, for the sake of the empire, he made the most loss-making transaction in history, and the loss was turned upside down!

Under his move, individuals of many great forces settled in this wasteland, exchanging cheap rice and coarse grains for precious heaven and earth artifacts!

From the beginning to the end, the Ten Great Divine Kingdoms did not interfere, they like to see the Junxuan Empire step by step into a situation where they are running out of ammunition and food!
