A cloud of gloom shrouded the imperial city of the Danyang Empire, the complete destruction of the Northern Expedition army alarmed the Danyang Empire, and the army that went to Beicang to volunteer has returned to the south, they did not bring back the joy of victory, and the permanent closure of the mine is tantamount to a heavy blow to Jiang Bingkun.

Jiang Bingkun stood on top of the glorious imperial city and looked at the imperial city shining in the sunset, it was so beautiful, it carried his grand ambition and hegemony for many years, but now he suddenly found that his dream was so unattainable, and the empire in his heart gradually came to an end like that beautiful sunset.

The situation was far worse than she imagined, the defeat of Beicang directly led to a great morale boost in the four empires, they saw the hope of recovering the country, if the empire did not have a strong means to improve morale, then the empire may break out into a full-scale crisis.

Above the court, many ministers were gloomy, Jiang Bingkun's mood was extremely heavy at the moment, and the successive failures completely made him suspect the injustice of God.

Jiang Bingkun perked up slightly, he glanced at the many ministers in the court, "What do you think of Beicang's failure?"

"Your Majesty, the defeat of Beicang has deprived us of a powerful source of war weapons, but we still have a strong army and a vast territory, and the hidden danger of the tribes in Beicang does not exist, they have lost the offensive power to continue to go south after this battle, and now we only need to continue to carry out military operations against the four empires, and Your Majesty's wish can still be fulfilled", said the military department Shangshu.

"Your Majesty, I think it is no longer suitable to continue the war at the moment, the morale of the four empires is now greatly boosted, once our four major fronts are fully launched, the follow-up supply will be very difficult, the chaos in the north has almost consumed most of our national strength, the garrison of the central garrison army is almost lost, if the front-line battle fails, it will be extremely unfavorable to us, now we occupy more than half of the territory of the four empires, as long as we continue to hold on for ten years, our national strength will inevitably be restored, and the four empires will no longer be able to stop our footsteps" , said the general of the Central Garrison Army.

"Ten years, do you want Your Majesty to wait for ten years?" asked Wei Wuji.

"We will never recover our vitality without ten years, and one year is short enough," the general said.

All of a sudden, there was once again a huge controversy in the court, and there was a huge dispute between the main war faction and the armistice faction.

The side led by the general of the Central Garrison Army, this Northern Expedition almost wiped out their Central Army, and they will not be able to suppress the generals of the four major fronts in the future, once they have the will to resist the empire, the strength of their Central Army will be difficult to play a role, so they want to recuperate and recuperate and strengthen their military strength again to resist the generals of the four major fronts.

And the flattering people led by Prime Minister Wei Wou-ki, in order to please Jiang Bingkun, naturally supported the continuation of the war.

"Right now, our situation is worrying, this defeat of Beicang, I'm afraid that the Moon Worship Sect will no longer continue to support our actions, without them to balance the disciples of Tianhua Sect and Divine Sword Valley, our military operations will inevitably be greatly hindered, this has been revealed in Beicang, but if we hold our ground, they will never be able to launch a military operation against us, the initiative of the war is still in our hands, it will only take ten years", the general insisted.

"Enough, it has been more than twenty years since the widow ascended the throne, I can't wait so long, the situation in the world is treacherous today, the super forces of Tianhua Sect and Shenjian Valley have gradually grown bigger over the years, and it will be more difficult to restrain them in the future, if you want to say that these tumors will become more difficult to eradicate, continue to wage war now, there is no doubt that the loss can be minimized, although there is a lot of risk, but for the future of the empire, no matter how big the price is, the opportunity is fleeting, the support of the Moon Worship Sect You must send someone to communicate with them, even if you give up some power, you must get their support." Jiang Bingkun said.

"It's a bit difficult to want them to continue to contribute, I heard that their failure in Beicang this time is because they can't work hard, and when they are looking for the ruins, they were plotted by the Tianhua Sect and finally wiped out the whole army, these disciples of the Moon Worship Sect can't believe it at all", the general said.

"Who in this world can be trusted? It was originally a deal between us and them, but now the deal between us is not over, so they can't stand by and watch, Wei Wuji needs to make another trip," Jiang Bingkun said.

"Your Majesty," Wei Wou-Ki said.

"I heard that the Blood Ring Sect in the Canghai region has developed well in recent years, and they have always wanted to be among the five major sects in the world, but their insidious and vicious exercises have not been recognized by the world, you send someone to tell him that as long as they send people to support us, our empire will help them do that and give them a chance to become famous," Jiang Bingkun said.

"Your Majesty, pay attention, although the strength of the Blood Ring Sect is comparable to that of the Tianhua Sect and the Divine Sword Valley, but in this Beicang operation, they have also killed and injured a lot of disciples, and their strength has been greatly reduced, and the Blood Ring Sect does have the capital to compete with them", Wei Wuji said.

"You can make an announcement to recruit heroes from all over the world to come to our aid, and you can promise them some power and make them loyal to us," Jiang Bingkun said.

"Your Majesty, this is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house, the reputation of the Blood Ring Sect is dirty, with their strength, it will definitely make us bear the infamy, we have been trying to eradicate these cultivation sects for many years, and now give them power, isn't this to let them develop and grow?

"History has always been written by the victors, and in the future, this infamy will naturally be carried by someone, as for these sects, I will let them fight with each other, cannibalism and finally be wiped out in front of our army, if you don't get the support of the Moon Worship Sect, the Blood Ring Sect and the Sea Shark Palace are all good candidates, I want to see how tough the Tianhua Sect and the Divine Sword Valley are", Jiang Bingkun said.

Wei Wuji followed Jiang Bingkun's order and came to the mysterious Moon Worship Sect again to meet their sect master, and sure enough, he still couldn't meet Yi Zhouyang, and it was the old man who received him.

"Your sect master is too much, right, I am the special envoy of His Majesty the Emperor, the prime minister of the empire, I have come here three times and twice, but I can't even see your sect master's face?" Wei Wuji said.

"This is the Moon Worship Sect, but not your Danyang Imperial City, we don't care about your set, my sect master is still in retreat, and he has something to tell me", the old man said stiffly.

"Now His Majesty the Emperor, I want you to send disciples to the four fronts to assist us in our attack, and you should fulfill your promise," Wei Wou-Ki said.

"You go, you are destined to work in vain today", the old man refused directly.

"Do you want to tear up the agreement of the year?"

"So what, you have lost three times and twice, and you will not be able to complain about us," said the old man.

"Your people ostensibly went to help, but they didn't do their work, which led to the sacrifice of our soldiers in vain, and you have a share of their deaths," Wei Wou-Ki said.

"Don't open your mouth to slander us, it was your generals' miscommand that caused the rout of Beicang, resulting in countless casualties among our disciples, and we have no reason to continue to support you," the old man said.

"Without the support of the Empire, you Moon Worship Sect don't want to fight against the Tianhua Sect and the Divine Sword Valley alone, and there is only one fate waiting for you, and that is complete annihilation," Wei Wuji said.

"Then I don't have to worry about you, my sect master has his own plans, without you we can still fight against them alone, and come to see off guests", the old man unceremoniously drove Wei Wuji away.

Since then, the agreement between the Danyang Empire and the Moon Worship Sect has been completely shattered, and the Danyang Empire has also given up continuing to ask for help from the Moon Worship Sect, and instead turned its attention to the Blood Ring Sect and the Sea Shark Palace, which have risen rapidly in recent years, to seek their help.

On the top of Xingxing Mountain, the old man saw Yi Zhouyang in person, "Sect Master, I sent them away."

"He thinks how great their Danyang Empire is, it is not worth mentioning in front of our strength, now they are like a tattered clothes, throw away the old and throw it away, fully unfold our plan, we must hurry up, when our gods descend on the earth, they may not even have a chance to beg for mercy, let them jump for a few days first", Yi Zhouyang has a far-reaching plan.

Wei Wouji's actions did not secure reinforcements from the Lunatic Sect for the Empire, but instead officially announced the complete breaking of the agreement between them.

The empire has set its sights on the Blood Ring Sect and the Sea Shark Palace, which have great potential as the latest rising sects, but they have been blocked by the five major sects for many years, and they have been trying to become super forces for many years.

The Blood Ring Sect is hundreds of miles away from Canghai Town, and the Jingyue Sect and the Sea Shark Palace have been regarded as the three new stars of the Southwest Continent for many years, and they are all front-line forces, but the Blood Ring Sect's notorious cultivation methods have caused them to be spurned by the mainstream spirit masters on the mainland, and many forces have not cut their company, and they have been competing with the Jingyue Sect for the supremacy of Canghai for many years, and there have been faint signs of hegemony in recent years.

Sea Shark Palace, they are also located in the sea area near Canghai Town, their sect is located on many islands above the sea, many years ago almost isolated from the world, after the revival of the aura, they opened the palace door to recruit a wide range of disciples, and now the strength is like the sky, and they already have the strength to compete with the Blood Ring Sect and the Jingyue Sect, but their background is not as good as theirs, and they have been trying hard to win the Central Plains over the years.

This time the chaos in Beicang gave them a chance, Tianhua Sect and Divine Sword Valley both suffered huge losses in this war, and their strength was greatly reduced, and they saw the opportunity to rise again.

Now that the Danyang Empire has won the world and wants to unify all countries, Jiang Bingkun naturally pays attention to their ambitions, so he has enough reasons to support them to come and fight for hegemony.

As long as the Blood Ring Sect and the Sea Shark Palace can block the Tianhua Sect and the Divine Sword Valley for him, although the four empires have breathed for more than a year, their Danyang Empire still occupies the initiative, as long as they can unify the four empires, there is nothing in the world that can stop his ambitions.

During this time, almost all the forces in the world have their eyes on the Empire, and their every move will have a profound impact on the entire continent.

Shi Xuan and the others have also returned to Tianhua Sect since the completion of the Beicang mission, and they have returned to normal training, all of them are in Taoguang and obscurity, waiting for the next military action.

As the leader of the alliance, Dai Tiande was not at ease with the Danyang Empire, so he ordered Elder Xu to send many of his disciples to the Danyang Empire to spy on the military situation and keep abreast of the empire's military movements, he did not believe that the empire would stop there.

Shi Xuan and the others finally returned to the long-lost sect, looking at everything they were familiar with, they looked extremely cordial, far away from the changing situation of the grassland, without the vast army of the empire, their bodies and minds were released, and many people's cultivation had been delayed a lot for such a long time, and now they could finally calm down and start their cultivation for a while. Now that his realm has been raised to the Heavenly Vein Realm, many of his exercises and spiritual skills have yet to be improved and consolidated.

Shi Xuan is now extremely proficient in the control of fire skills, and the Burning Sun Meteor Technique has evolved again in his hands, he can only summon a few rare fireballs to hit the enemy, but now as long as the spiritual energy is abundant, he seems to incarnate the god of fire to control the world's ultimate flames to strike at the enemy like a storm, he has cultivated this spiritual skill to a higher level, and he is confident that he will be able to master the mystery of this spiritual skill in the future, and completely exert a terrifying flame offensive.

His melee combat ability has also made great progress, Burst Flame Slash has become his signature skill, after he obtained the combat skills of the Yak Clan, he was almost able to defeat the enemy in the process of fighting, even in the face of high-level opponents, he can also have room to fight back, Disillusionment Wuji has always been very helpful to him, and his soul cultivation has made great progress, which is also the main reason why he has comprehensively suppressed the nightmare power in his body for more than a year.

Shi Xuan sat upright carefully, and sent his aura to the extreme, the spiritual power ran Zhou Tian, he had obtained a trace of dragon qi in the oolong ruins before, this aura was very domineering, he wanted to make good use of it, maybe it would be a powerful force in the future.

The aura of Longyou is extremely domineering, if it weren't for Shi Xuan's strong soul power, it would be difficult for him to even control this breath, his Tianlong Botian Determination could increase his extremely strong burst in a short period of time, he wanted to completely fuse this aura of Longyou to improve his extreme burst.

Long You's qi was raging in his meridians, and his pure soul power was like an invisible hand firmly fusing this breath into his own exercises according to his own will, and this feeling was unprecedented.

Shi Xuan walked out of his residence and fished out the martial arts training ground, he wanted to use these targets to train well, a cold light sword out of the body, Tianlong Bo Tianduel urged to the extreme, an unimaginable force broke out in an all-round way, he quickly ran the flame slash, several terrifying flame sword qi tore the air in front of him, as if a real dragon hit out, and the terrifying sword qi instantly turned a solid target**.

Shi Xuan felt the aura stirring in his body, looking at the damage he had caused, this dragon aura was indeed terrifying.

Shi Xuan is a spirit master who dares to innovate, once he has an idea, he will definitely try, he even fused this dragon qi into his fire shield, sure enough, the defense is a lot more domineering, even after the shield is broken, the resulting explosion can seriously injure some weaker enemies.

"It's a pity, but the chalcedony aura obtained is weak, if it is stronger, maybe I can fuse this power into my element, and the fusion of the three powers will definitely have a terrible effect", Shi Xuan had an even crazier idea, but unfortunately the weak dragon breath was not enough to support his dream.

Shi Xuan summoned his own incomparably pure golden element, this element is extremely strong, it can enhance the sword qi and power of the cultivator extremely strongly, on the mainland, the cultivators of the gold element are usually masters of the sword, this is related to their element, the gold element has a huge improvement in the way of the sword, Shi Xuan has been using the fire element to fight before, and rarely uses this power, now it is time to develop this power.

The Tibetan Gong Pavilion has many powerful exercises and spiritual skills in it, as long as you are a disciple of the Tianhua Sect, you can enter the exchange, and the premise is that you must have enough contribution points.

Shi Xuan first found the Na Ling formula that he dreamed of, this recipe was extremely important to him, the production of Na Ling was extremely complicated, although the fourth-order spirit forging master could make it, but many people tried to fail, Shi Xuan had great confidence since he advanced.

The quality of Na Ling is also very different, there are rumors in history that some of the top spirit forging Na Ling can accept all rivers, and even include a side of the space into it, it can be said that a flower and a world, in the palm of the hand, a small Na Ling can accommodate a heaven and earth, this will be an extremely exaggerated ability.

The piece of Na Ling that Shi Xuan exchanged was obviously only the lowest, and it could carry a lot of materials, but it was not yet able to accommodate people and living things, but Shi Xuan's own family heirloom Na Ling could even accommodate living things, which surprised him.

After Shi Xuan found this formula, he looked everywhere for a spiritual skill suitable for the cultivation of the gold element, the spiritual skills he had practiced before were all fire elemental, and they were not suitable for the cultivation of the gold element.

Among the many spiritual skills, a sword technique called Jin Hui God Slash appeared in front of his eyes, this exercise can fully exert the power of the gold element, the powerful gold element explosion as an example, can be attached to the terrifying soul damage, and the golden light can slash the enemy's soul, causing terrifying lethality.

Usually in the face of a powerful soul, he can only rely on a powerful spirit skill to kill, and the soul damage caused by the sword skill is small, but this sword skill combined with his gold element can cause terrifying damage, which can well make up for his kendo shortcomings.

Shi Xuan successfully exchanged this sword technique, he was not in a hurry to start cultivating, he was more interested in the forging of Na Ling in front of him, Na Ling was able to help his teammates carry more supplies with him, since he became a fourth-order spirit forging master, several good friends have booked Na Ling like him, it can be said that such a thing is priceless, the entire Tianhua Sect, except for many elders and many core disciples, it is very difficult for others to exchange Na Ling, after all, there are too few people who can forge, even if it is on the mainland, even if you spend a lot of money, it is difficult to buy。

Zhao Zhuo, Zhong Ling, Han Yunxi and the others had been waiting for him to become a fourth-order spirit forging master for a long time, just to wait for him to forge a Na Ling, and these were the reasons why Shi Xuan was more and more valued by the sect.

Shi Xuan carefully studied this recipe and forging method in the forging workshop, and found that it was not easy, the three core spiritual materials alone discouraged many spirit forging masters, the Yuan Magnetic Gem rich in space power, the eternal blue gold with the ability to stabilize space, and the gilded rough stone that carved the core of the formation were all extremely precious spiritual materials, and the failure rate was extremely high, once it failed, the spirit forging master would definitely lose all his money, which was also the reason why many fourth-order spirit forging masters were unwilling to forge Na Ling, and the high failure rate made them wait until the fifth order to forge, and then the success rate would be guaranteed。

In the sect, except for Du Chunhua, there are no more than three people who can forge Na Ling, and they are extremely unwilling to help people forge Na Ling, with a failure rate of more than half, and it is very likely that they will lose all their money.

"How is Shi Xuan?" said Zhao Zhuo as he looked at Shi Xuan, who was in a circle.

"These three main spiritual materials alone can bankrupt me, with my current contribution value, it is only enough to exchange five spiritual materials, it is acceptable to fail once, I will have to bear huge pressure twice and go bankrupt three times", Shi Xuan was dumbfounded as he looked at these materials.

"Don't be afraid, I'll use my contribution value to help you exchange materials, for this Naling, I believe in you", Zhao Zhuo said.

"Don't you still want to exchange a spiritual skill?" Shi Xuan asked.

"The forging technology I believe in, as long as the success rate is high, we can always earn it back, right?

"Good brother, I can rest assured with your words, I will definitely be able to forge it", Shi Xuan immediately gained confidence, buried himself in the construction of drawings, and planned to exchange spiritual materials.

In the past few days, he and Zhao Zhuo had almost spent their contribution points to exchange for several copies of spiritual materials, and even Zhong Ling came over to exchange his contribution points for them.

"Zhong Ling, girl, thank you, if you fail, I'm sorry for you?" Shi Xuan said.

"You are still polite between us, you can earn it again when the contribution value is gone, as long as you help you complete the forging, these will come back", Zhong Ling said.

Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo buried their heads in the forging workshop, the two cooperated with each other, but they still underestimated the characteristics of these three materials, and the unique spatial power was difficult to master.

The shadow of failure fell on Shi Xuan's head again, it had been three times in a row, he had calculated the cost, as long as he failed three times in a row, he would hardly earn any reward, even if it was all the success in the future, he would face huge losses.

Zhao Zhuo and Shi Xuan looked at the spiritual materials that turned into ashes in a daze, the bitterness in their hearts was difficult to tell, and the senior brother Du Qifeng came to check and was also blindfolded: "Senior Brother Shi Xuan is really a hero, back then, in order to forge Na Ling, the wasted materials made my father's face change, and finally the forging was completed, and now there is only a fifty percent success rate, worried that I will lose all my money", Du Qifeng persuaded.

"Senior Brother Du, I have already paid the price, I must complete it, even if I have all my net worth, I will give it a try", Shi Xuan, you don't admit defeat.

"Okay, as a senior brother, I can only persuade you, I lost two years at the time to recover, think about it carefully", Du Qifeng smacked his tongue.

Shi Xuan was almost at a loss, but Zhao Zhuo said at this moment: "We already have a fourth-order spirit armor now, and a fifth-order one is still early, and then we must have enough contribution value, I believe that we will definitely succeed", Zhao Zhuo encouraged.
