Actively doing the same thing and doing it passively are two completely different states, the Hundred Refining Sect is not a saint and a gentleman, in fact, many sects secretly call the Hundred Refining Sect "death for money".

This is a sect that can do anything as long as you give enough money.

The words engraved on the archway of the mountain gate can be seen from half a mile away - everything in the world has value, just see if anyone can find it.

Although the people of the Hundred Refining Sect attached great importance to credibility and reputation, it was absolutely impossible to rely on a promise from their own Supreme Elder, but it was impossible to expect them to do their best.

Zhu Shan took a deep breath and said, "I'm very interested in your cooperation now, can you analyze it specifically?"

Fang Zhen smiled and said, "It's actually very simple, think about the territory of the Hundred Refining Sect a thousand years ago, eight hundred years ago, five hundred years ago, and a hundred years ago!

Zhu Shan nodded, he had discussed this issue with his father emperor a long time ago, as the weakest of the three countries that currently directly bordered the Hundred Refining Sect, the Great Yuan Kingdom would be the next target of the Hundred Refining Sect nine times out of ten.

The annexation of the Secular Kingdom by the Hundred Refining Sect would not change the ruling class of the secular kingdom itself, all they needed was to turn their business into absolute orthodoxy in the target kingdom.

All commercial activities in the annexed kingdom, whether for the people or practitioners, were to be under their control.

Other than that, the Hundred Refining Sect would not bother with other things.

Even if the kingdom they controlled fought with other countries, the Hundred Refining Sect would have to see if the war would affect their commercial activities, and if not, they would not care.

Such a strange sect did not arouse the vigilance of the major kingdoms of the Northern Continent at the beginning, and even many kingdoms in the north took the initiative to become vassals of the Hundred Refining Sect, so that they could not only vigorously develop their own economy, but also have a considerable threat to the neighboring countries.

Whoever dares to hit them, they will immediately let the commercial activities strike, and then the people of the Hundred Refining Sect will immediately come to the door.

But soon those kingdoms that had become vassals of the Hundred Refining Sect realized that something was wrong.

When all the business activities of a country are controlled by the same force, it is equivalent to grasping the lifeblood of the country.

Even if the Hundred Refining Sect did not interfere in the politics and military of these countries, without the support of commerce, what could the politics and military do?

Similarly, because it became a vassal kingdom of the Hundred Refining Sect, then the Hundred Refining Sect naturally became the cultivation country sect of this kingdom, and all young people with cultivation talent would naturally think of entering the Hundred Refining Sect.

As a result, the living space of the local sect of the kingdom was gradually compressed, and finally it could not survive and the inheritance was broken.

And in this process, the Hundred Refining Sect did not take the initiative to do anything, and those sects that were killed by the pit even wanted to fight with the Hundred Refining Sect, but they couldn't find a reason.

Under such circumstances, in the space of a thousand years, the Hundred Refining Sect had expanded from the original land of the Northern Continent to half of the northern territory of the Northern Continent to the current one, and the area had expanded by as much as fifty times.

This only refers to the land they directly control, which is often referred to as the territory of the sect, but in fact, the control of the Hundred Refining Sect extends to any kingdom in the entire Northern Continent.

It was for this reason that the remaining kingdoms had a tacit understanding with each other, that is, as long as the Hundred Refining Sect wanted to annex any of them again, they would unite to resist.

At this point, the eighteen large and small kingdoms that still exist in Beizhou are all of a unified attitude.

Fang Zhen smiled and said: "Actually, the problem is very simple, what the Wuji Sect is taking now is the path of the Hundred Refining Sect, they now control all the cultivation sects and Jianghu sects in the Great Yuan Kingdom, and they directly control the change of imperial power in the Great Yuan Kingdom, and even make usurpation, what they are going to do next The Fourth Master should be very clear!"

"Then for the royal family of the Great Yuan Kingdom, in fact, no matter how you struggle, the final result is two, either become a vassal of the Hundred Refining Sect or become a vassal of the Wuji Sect, from the result point of view, becoming a vassal of the Hundred Refining Sect can maintain the orthodoxy of the Zhu family's royal family in the worst case, but if the Wuji Sect is in charge, the royal family of the Great Yuan Kingdom will no longer be surnamed Zhu!"

"Last point, the Hundred Refining Sect is actually quite 'tolerant' towards secular countries, they use gentle means to deal with secular countries, but for the four masters of each sect, they should also know that the attitude of the Hundred Refining Sect is extremely tough, once the Wuji Sect is in power in the Great Yuan, will the Hundred Refining Sect start a war? Or will they secretly support other countries to wage war against the Great Yuan Kingdom?"

Zhu Shan's pupils contracted violently, he really hadn't seen this before.

Fang Zhen knew what was going on when he saw the other party's reaction, showed a smile, and said: "So judging from various circumstances, it is better to become a vassal of the Hundred Refining Sect than to be in power by the Wuji Sect, and more importantly, if the fourth master takes the initiative to ask, the people of the Hundred Refining Sect will not be able to reach out on a large scale, as long as the fourth master operates well, maybe he can find another way to become a vassal of the Hundred Refining Sect?"

Zhu Shan was thoughtful, but Zhu Yu looked at Fang Zhen with a puzzled gaze, and said, "In the end, you just want my Great Yuan Kingdom to die, the people of Canglan Country are really wolf ambitions!"

Fang Zhen rolled his eyes, looked at Zhu Yu and said, "I have heard that the fifth princess of the Great Yuan Kingdom is a smart person, but it is not as famous as meeting you, and your IQ is also called smart?"

Zhu Yu was so angry that his eyes widened, and he said, "Fang Zhen, you dare to insult me?"

Fang Zhen snorted disapprovingly, and said: "If I really think about it from the perspective of the interests of the Canglan Country, then I should let the fourth master hold on to his previous thoughts, in that case, the Hundred Refining Sect will naturally work hard if he is not paid, at most he will kill the current puppet emperor, and then support the fourth master to the throne!"

"But more will not do more, when the time comes, how are the five princesses going to deal with the Wuji Sect? If you can deal with the Wuji Sect, you will not let the Wuji Sect dominate the Great Yuan Kingdom, then your only way is to sell the interests of the Great Yuan Kingdom and ask for help from the Hundred Refining Sect!"

"Fifth Princess, let's guess, what kind of sky-high bargaining chips will the Hundred Refining Sect open at that time? If I am a member of the Hundred Refining Sect, in order to avoid stimulating the sensitive nerves of the other seventeen kingdoms and failing to annex them, I will definitely secretly support the major Jianghu sects of the Great Yuan Kingdom to rebel against the Wuji Sect, and then fish in the troubled waters of the Great Yuan Kingdom by creating chaos to reap the benefits!"

"In this way, this battle for imperial power in the Great Yuan Kingdom will last for at least ten or even decades, and this period of time is the best result for my Canglan Kingdom, Fifth Princess, do you think what the grass people said makes sense?"

Zhu Yu's face was pale, and he stood there shaky.
