Chapter 9: The Celestial Alliance is Finally Completed
In the mysterious Wuji Cold Pool, the Tianyu Sect and the Wuji Gate held a meeting.
If it is placed in normal times, even if Wujimen is indeed the two major states that have occupied the extreme north of the empire - Xianzhou Domain and Yanzhou Domain, but because the strength of the sect is not high, and the two major states are located in remote areas and the conditions are difficult, there is not much value in battle, so the Tianyu Sect does not take Wujimen seriously.
On the side of Wujimen, it was originally just a tribe that lived in the cold region of the extreme north of the empire, but as a result, it seized the opportunity of the chaotic period of the empire, and the gap between the Tianyu Sect and the Zijin Pavilion who were not interested in the north, suddenly occupied the Xianzhou domain and the Yanzhou domain, and became a large sect with two major states.
Although there are now two major states, and the sect has a strong ability to fight alone, due to the small population base of the clan, it is still very difficult to resist the attack of the big sect such as the Tianyu Sect. Therefore, after obtaining the Xianzhou Domain and the Yanzhou Domain, Wujimen deployed the vast majority of its troops in the areas bordering the Zhongzhou Domain, the Jingzhou Domain, and the Yunzhou Domain. And what worries the Wuji Sect the most is not the invasion of the Northern Expedition of the Seven Great Sects of the Earth Alliance, but the fear that the Tianyu Sect and the Zijin Pavilion will send troops to march north and annex the Yanzhou Domain and Xianzhou Domain that are now owned by the Wuji Gate.
Especially the strong Tianyu Sect, which already makes Wujimen feel like they can't sleep!
And as smart as the Heavenly Feather Sect!
The Heavenly Feather Sect had long seen the "worry" in the heart of the Wuji Sect, especially the "sharp blade" hanging over his head in the Heavenly Feather Sect, and he couldn't sleep peacefully. Therefore, for the Wuji Gate, the Tianyu Sect did not put forward the so-called "big truth" that he said to the Zijin Pavilion, but gave the Wuji Gate a "promise", which was also what the Wuji Gate wanted the most.
Tianyu Sect promises: First, to announce to the world, as the number one sect of the empire, the representative of the Heavenly Alliance, and the guardian of the northern realm, it announced the recognition of the legitimacy of the Wuji Gate in the extreme north of the empire, recognized the identity of the Wuji Gate as one of the three major sects of the Northern Empire and one of the ten major sects of the Tiansheng Empire, and recognized the established fact that the Wuji Gate occupies the Xianzhou domain and the Yanzhou domain. Second, the Tianyu Sect and the Wuji Gate signed an oath of "mutual non-aggression", and the Tianyu Sect promised not to invade the Yanzhou and Xianzhou domains to the north. Third, on behalf of the "Alliance of Heaven and Earth", the Tianyu Sect promised to give more material and financial support to the Wuji Gate, especially the Zijin Pavilion would open up the northern trade routes of the Zhongzhou Domain, so that the special products of the Yanzhou and Xianzhou regions of the Wuji Gate could be sold to the south of the empire.
At first, Wuji Gate only thought that as long as Tianyu Sect and Zijin Pavilion promised not to invade their two major states to the north, it would be fine, and finally they agreed to open up the trade routes to the south of the Yanzhou Domain, and promote the trade and integration between the extreme north region of the empire and the most prosperous and rich Tiansheng Great Plains region, which is a great guarantee for Wuji Gate to improve the development of Yanzhou and Xianzhou, the future of the clansmen, and the living standards of the people in the state. For a long time, the Xianzhou domain has been considered the most backward and primitive area of the empire, there is not much commerce, and the living conditions of the people in the state are extremely poor, which actually hinders the development of the Wuji Gate to a large extent, and now the Xianzhou domain and the Yanzhou domain are linked with the Zhongzhou domain, the imperial capital Tiansheng City, the Jingzhou domain, the Yingzhou domain, the Yunzhou domain, and the Dingzhou domain together, then the future development will be better. Only when the living standards of the people of the two states are high, can more people support the Wuji Gate, and the stability of the two states can be obtained, and when the two states are stable, more people will join the Wuji Gate and support the leadership of the Wuji Gate, so that the Wuji Gate can develop better and better.
After doing this, in fact, the requirements of the Heavenly Feather Sect for the Wuji Gate are very simple.
The first is that Wujimen promised never to use troops to the south, and promised to only keep the existing Xianzhou and Yanzhou domains, and not to invade the Zhongzhou domain, the imperial capital, the Jingzhou domain, the Yingzhou domain, the Yunzhou domain, and the Dingzhou domain, which is also what the Tianyu Sect and the Zijin Pavilion must want. Because although the remote Xianzhou Domain and Yanzhou Domain are small in population and weak, Tianyu Sect and Zijin Pavilion are not looked down upon, but what Tianyu Sect is worried about is that if he transfers all his troops to the south to fight against the Earth Alliance, and the forces of Zijin Pavilion are responsible for guarding the existing several major states, then according to the strength of Zijin Pavilion, to a large extent, Zijin Pavilion is not the opponent of Wujimen. If there is Wuji Gate in the north to attack in the south, and the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance in the south to attack in the north, then the Tianyu Sect will definitely be defeated. Therefore, what Tianyu Sect thought was that since Wujimen occupied the Xianzhou Domain and Yanzhou Domain and it was a "fait accompli", it was better to have a "favor with the water" and recognize the sphere of influence of Wujimen, which could be regarded as stabilizing Wujimen. In particular, the signing of the "mutual non-aggression" oath between the two major sects is a great good thing for both the Wuji Sect and the Tianyu Sect. As long as the Tianyu Sect has a stable rear, it can even transfer the troops used to defend the Wuji Gate in the north to the southern front, which will undoubtedly increase the number of men and horses by two percent for the Tianyu Sect. The Tianyu Sect itself has also calculated it, so that when fighting with the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance, even if it is not victorious, at least it will not be defeated.
Second, the Wuji Gate promised to join the "Heavenly Alliance" and resist the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance together with the Tianyu Sect and the Purple Gold Pavilion. Becoming one of the three major sects of the Heavenly Alliance, Wujimen is still extremely "surprised". No matter what the background and strength of Wuji Gate was before, at least at the level of the Heavenly Alliance, it has been recognized that Wuji Gate is one of the three major sects of the Northern Empire, and it is one of the ten major sects of the proper empire. At the same time, he promised to pour the strength of the whole sect and the Tianyu Sect and the Zijin Pavilion together to form the "Heavenly Alliance Alliance" to resist the Northern Expedition Alliance of the Seven Great Sects of the Earth Alliance.
After the Tianyu Sect and the Wuji Sect agreed on an alliance agreement, the entire Northern Empire became a whole. The three major sects of the Heavenly Feather Sect, the Purple Gold Pavilion and the Wuji Gate carried out the establishment ceremony of the "Heavenly Alliance" in the main hall of the Tianyu Sect "Tianyu Mountain", and announced to the world that the Heavenly Alliance was officially established, and the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance was located in Tianyu Mountain, and the suzerain of the Tianyu Sect was also the leader of the Heavenly Alliance.
For the Earth Alliance, the Heavenly Alliance only has three sects - Tianyu Sect, Zijin Pavilion, and Wuji Gate, but it occupies the seven major states in the northern part of the empire and one imperial capital, which also includes the entire Heavenly Saint Great Plains region, the wealth and economic strength of the Heavenly Alliance far exceed that of the Earth Alliance, but the population of the Heavenly Alliance and the Earth Alliance is basically the same.
After the establishment of the Heavenly Alliance, three covenants were set: First, the three major sects of the Heavenly Alliance were permanently peaceful and did not invade each other. The second is to unite as one, guard the northern border, conquer the land alliance, and never give up. The third is coordinated development and common prosperity.
After the blood alliance, the Tianyu Sect withdrew the forces deployed in the states bordering the Yanzhou Domain, and the Wuji Gate also withdrew the forces originally deployed in the Yanzhou Domain to resist the invasion of the Tianyu Sect and the Purple Gold Pavilion. The two major sects transferred all these forces to the front line of the Yingzhou domain of the Tianyu Sect. The Purple Gold Pavilion used its financial advantage to vigorously replenish the materials and armaments of the Heavenly Alliance Alliance on the front line, increased the commercial and trade links between the states of the Tianyu Sect and the Wuji Gate, and promoted the integrated development of the seven states of the Northern Empire.
