0489, awakening
In the early years, because of the strength of the empire, some ordinary sects basically couldn't make any big waves, but the three sects and three factions still had a lot of energy in the forest of human martial arts.
Back then, in Youyan Pass, the Ziwei Sect, the Purple Charm Seven Star Sect and the Dragon and Tiger Sect among the three sects and three factions, the disciples of the sect dared to be so arrogant, and such a background was inseparable.
But in this battle of Guangming City, the power of the three sects and three factions, even the power of the sects within the entire empire's territory, was calculated, and it was also cannibalistic, which can be described as a century-old foundation that was uprooted.
In the end, except for a few strong sects who were loyal to Zuo Xiang and the old marshal Li Guangbi, who endured the temptation of the so-called Bright Temple Treasure House, did not enter the Earth Fire Youquan Sword Pit, and avoided the killing array below, the other sects suffered heavy losses, and there were no disciples from some sects to the top to the last generation.
The sect that experienced a catastrophe a hundred years ago because of the rise of the Snow Country, and after this calculation, it can be regarded as a complete loss of vitality.
At this point, the sect no longer has the strength to compete with the Snow Country.
In the past month, Emperor Xue was still in retreat, and the old marshal Li Guangbi, under the instruction of Yu Junhan, led the elite of the army to clean up the major sects.
For those sects that do not obey the control, directly break through the mountain gate and completely eradicate it.
In this regard, Li Guangbi did not leave the slightest softness.
Because he knows Yu Junhan's will very well.
Before the foreign forces really pour in, we must first completely remove the unstable factors in the Snow Country, lest these sects that are unwilling to give up their old glory collude with foreign forces and cause even greater disaster.
This process is also tragic for the sect.
The Purple Charm Seven Star Sect was directly destroyed, the sect's arsenal was destroyed and moved empty, the four Taishang elders were directly killed, the head of the sect was captured, and the disciples in the door, those who cultivated above the Lingquan Realm were directly scattered and incorporated into the army, and those below the Lingquan Realm were all dismissed......
The Purple Charm Seven Star Sect, which had been inherited for hundreds of years, was completely cut off in this way.
The situation of the Crape Myrtle Sect is slightly better.
Because of the timely surrender, the Ziwei Sect was not destroyed, but the main masters and strong people in the sect were also conscripted into the army, and some of the elders who were formerly powerful cronies and elders were replaced, and the sect master was temporarily detained.
The palace god general Gao Gaoping, one of the five great gods of the Guangming Temple, was personally in charge, and the major affairs of the sect of the Ziwei Sect were all decided by the imperial military, including the selection of the new head and so on.
In addition to these two major sects, several other major sects have not escaped.
The Dragon Sect branch of the Dragon and Tiger Sect chose to surrender, while the Tiger Sect chose to flee, and the main powerhouses and masters of the Tiger Sect branch fled overnight, and only a few people stayed behind and accepted the takeover of the imperial military......
Ten days later, Zhao Jin, the head of the Tiger Sect, was killed in the hinterland of the Black Water Barbarians in Baishan, announcing the complete destruction of the Tiger Sect branch.
Among the three sects and three factions, only the Peerless Sword City was respected by the imperial military, Li Guangbi personally went to the Divine Sword Hall of the Peerless Sword City, and gathered with Qin Zhishui, who had just become the city lord, and then the Peerless Sword City directly announced to the outside world that it had returned to the empire and became a special military department in the empire.
Li Guangbi worked non-stop, rectifying the Jianghu sects in the empire, and completely rewriting the martial arts pattern that had been messed up for nearly a hundred years......
And some ancient sects and forces hidden behind the three sects and three factions have also been affected.
At the same time, the right minister joined forces with Yu Feiyan, the left minister and others to set off a great purge in the imperial capital.
With the Temple of Light as the center, all the subjects of the empire within a radius of a hundred miles were evacuated and relocated, regardless of whether they were nobles or commoners, without any delay.
There is a nobleman with a high status, relying on the fact that he has some relationship with the right minister in the past, and he is also the comfort of King Du of the Du Mansion, and he is arrogant, and he injured several imperial officials who came to urge the relocation, and threatened not to move, to see who can do what to him......
As a result, an hour later, his head was hung directly on the proclamation pillar in the relocation area.
As soon as some other nobles, large and small, saw it, they immediately knew that this time the empire was really moving, and even the right minister, who was relatively protective of his subordinates on weekdays, was not polite at all.
After this incident, the nobles no longer dared to resist in the slightest.
However, this relocation was not a barbaric force, the imperial treasury compiled a roster and amount, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, they all received relatively good compensation, especially in terms of commoners, after the relocation, they all got a place to live, and were given better compensation and treatment than before.
Such a thing, once it spread, made those who were outside the relocation area red-eyed.
The Imperial machine was tightly and orderly, and its power and efficiency were unmistakable.
The entire relocation process probably took less than 20 days.
The military even dispatched airships, paraded the skies, and helped the people relocate.
At the same time, the evacuated area has been completely set up as a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter the survey and investigate.
A large number of forbidden troops were stationed in it.
Countless military projects were built at the fastest speed, and the rune formations surging with majestic terrifying energy were also arranged at the first time, and all kinds of resources were almost endlessly transported into this area.
This is just a sight that some curious people see on the surface.
What they couldn't see was that countless elite military masters and powerhouses were secretly drawn out of the border and the major main battle legions, and quietly stationed in the area of Guangming City within a radius of 100 miles.
Time passed day by day.
The chaotic turbulent storm vortex above the imperial capital gradually slowed down again, and the gloomy clouds in the sky were gradually dissipating.
People can finally see the blue sky faintly again.
When the sunlight shone down through the faint clouds, and the warm light shone on everyone's bodies again, the hearts of many people, who had been hanging since the beginning of the Battle of Bright City, finally returned to their chests.
Like a long dream, many people sigh.
Everything seems to have returned to its original state.
In addition to the 100-mile radius of Guangming City, the streets of other areas of the imperial capital have become crowded with people and traffic again, and shops that have been closed for more than a month can't wait to open their doors and do business again......
Only those who know the truth, such as the right-hand minister, understand that it is very likely that the disaster has not passed, on the contrary, it may have just begun.
Emptying the area within a hundred miles of Guangming City, building various fortifications, stationing troops, laying rune formations, and dispatching most of the elite and strong men of the empire are all to guard against the possible invasion forces after the gate of the central realm is opened.
And the reason why the defense is only arranged within a hundred miles, and the entire imperial capital is not emptied, on the one hand, because the amount of work is too large, and on the other hand, because this hundred miles range can already be regarded as concentrating the most powerful combat power of the empire, if it is not able to resist foreign forces, then the entire Heavenly Desolate Realm will have to fall into a long-term bitter war disaster, even if the imperial capital is emptied, it is meaningless.
The entire imperial official, the real core level figures, during this period of time, were all spinning and dizzy.
Many of the decrees came from the left and right ministers.
Some people who did not know the situation were surprised to find that during this period of time, the decrees issued by the Left Prime Minister's Office and the Right Prime Minister's Office were surprisingly consistent and coordinated, which is completely different from the situation in which the Left Prime Minister's Office and the Right Prime Minister's Office competed with each other in the past few decades.
As time passed, more and more characters gradually felt that the atmosphere that permeated the sky over the empire seemed to become extremely tense and strange after the sun returned to the earth.
......
Two months after the Battle of the City of Light.
Early morning.
This is the coldest time of winter.
The fire forests in the fourth area of Guangming City were replanted, and the fire trees that were originally almost withered were nourished by the flame energy vitality in the sword pit of the Earth Fire Hidden Spring, and they became vibrant again.
It's just that this fire forest is still a lot sparse after all, and it can't be compared with the grand occasion of the flaming leaves like the sea in the past.
With Jin Ling'er's support, Ye Qingyu slowly walked in the fire forest, stretching his body and breathing fresh air.
Ye Qingyu woke up two days ago.
This news is still under wraps for the time being, and only a few people such as Yu Junhan know about it.
Since Ye Qingyu woke up, the smile on Yu Junhan's face has increased.
Observing the condition in Ye Qingyu's body twice a day, Yu Junhan gradually became relieved.
Ye Qingyu's recovery was better than he had expected at the beginning, his memory was complete, his soul was complete, but the power of his divine soul and divine consciousness seemed to have been weakened countless times, similar to that of an ordinary martial artist with one or two eyes of spiritual spring.
Moreover, the vitality in his body has not yet fully recovered, less than one percent of what he used to be in a normal state.
It should be said that Ye Qingyu, who had just woken up, was in a strange state of weakness, and his combat power was not much different from that of ordinary Spirit Spring Realm martial artists.
Even because this body was regenerated with Yu Junhan's essence and blood vitality, Ye Qingyu was still a little unable to fully control his body, and he didn't even feel smooth walking at first.
In addition to taking care of Ye Qingyu, Yu Junhan also needs to divide some thoughts and assist Youxiang and others.
Although it is a reunion of mother and son, every day is not enough, but after all, there are no eggs under the nest, and the current situation is too urgent, only by passing this hurdle can Ye Qingyu be better protected.
And Ye Qingyu himself, after waking up, also learned the general outline of everything that happened after he was seriously injured and passed out from the mouths of Jin Ling'er, Bai Yuanxing, Wen Wan and others.
