Chapter 6: The Heavenly Alliance
The Heavenly Feather Sect told the Purple Gold Pavilion a lot of things that had a great deal to do with it, especially the so-called fact that "one is prosperous and one is defeated". The Purple Pavilion also understood that if the Tianyu Sect was defeated or if the Yingzhou Domain and the Jingzhou Domain were strategically abandoned in order to preserve its strength, then the southern barrier that served as the Zhongzhou Domain and the Imperial Capital Tiansheng City would no longer exist. In the Heavenly Sage Great Plain of Pingchuan, the Purple Gold Pavilion had no danger to defend at all, and in the face of the menacing Seven Great Sects of the Earth Alliance, the Purple Gold Pavilion had no power to parry at all. The Tianyu Sect still has the natural dangers of the Yunzhou Domain and the Dingzhou Domain available, at least it is worry-free to protect itself, so what will the Purple Gold Pavilion take to defend it, do you want the whole clan to give up the Zhongzhou Domain and the Imperial Capital, and hide all of them in the vast Purple Gold Mountains?
This is obviously impossible!
The Purple Gold Pavilion had actually seen the seriousness of the matter for a long time, but the reason why it didn't immediately stand in the camp of the Heavenly Feather Sect was that the Purple Gold Pavilion was actually a little "selfish". Because the Purple Pavilion still has a piece of fat from the Tianyu Sect, this is what the Purple Pavilion has always wanted, and that is the "Jingzhou Domain".
The Jingzhou region is located in the southernmost part of the Tiansheng Great Plain, bordering the Zhongzhou region to the north, the imperial throat "Yingzhou domain" to the south, and the "Dingzhou domain" and "Yunzhou domain" to the west. It is the only state of the Tianyu Sect that borders its other three states, and at the same time borders the Zhongzhou domain of the Purple Gold Pavilion, and the entire Heavenly Alliance has seven states, and the Jingzhou region borders four of them.
If the Yingzhou domain is the "center" of the empire to communicate with the north and the south, and the Tianyu Sect obtained the Yingzhou domain is the passage to the Northern Empire that blocked the seven major sects of the Southern Empire and the seven major states of the Southern Empire, then the Jingzhou domain is the key of the Tianyu Sect and the center of the northern part of the empire, blocking the two major sects of Zijin Pavilion and Wuji Gate, the three major states and the imperial capital Tiansheng City, the passage to the Southern Empire.
Because it also belongs to the Tiansheng Great Plain, the Jingzhou region has long been integrated into the Zhongzhou-Imperial Capital Economic Circle, and it is also the most developed of the four major states of the Tianyu Sect, and the living habits of the residents are also very similar to the Zhongzhou region. Due to the fact that the depth of the Zhongzhou Domain and the Imperial Capital was too small, the Zijin Pavilion had long wanted to include the Jingzhou Domain in its possession, but unfortunately its strength was not comparable to that of the Tianyu Sect, and when the empire was in chaos, the action was not as fast as the Tianyu Sect, so it had to endure it.
It can be said that the Tianyu Sect snatched the "Yunzhou Domain", the center of the empire, from Wan Fenglin, and from the hands of the Zijin Pavilion, the "Jingzhou Domain", the center of the Northern Empire.
In fact, Zijin Pavilion also knew that the Jingzhou Domain was now a "fact" in the hands of the Tianyu Sect, and it was impossible for the Tianyu Sect to take out the Jingzhou Domain. Because from the perspective of the Tianyu Sect itself, the Jingzhou Domain is not only the center of the Northern Empire, but also the "heart" of the Tianyu Sect. According to the geographical distribution, the Tianyu Sect occupies a total of four major prefectures, among which the Yingzhou domain, the Yunzhou domain, and the Dingzhou domain are in the south, west, and north of the Tiansheng Great Plain respectively, presenting a curved semicircle. If you look at these three states separately, they are connected by lines, among which the Yingzhou domain can only reach the Yunzhou domain, and the Yunzhou domain can reach the Dingzhou domain. However, after having the Jingzhou Domain, because the Jingzhou Domain is in the "embrace" of the three major states, and it borders the three major states, it is very convenient to access, and the forces of the Tianyu Sect can go directly to the other three states through the hub of the Jingzhou Domain.
Therefore, the Heavenly Feather Sect would never give up the Jingzhou Domain to the Purple Gold Pavilion.
Zijin Pavilion didn't know the importance of the Jingzhou Domain to the Tianyu Sect, and he also knew that the Tianyu Sect would never give up the Jingzhou Domain. Originally, when the war between Tianyu Sect and Wanfeng Lin stopped, Zijin Pavilion had always taken a wait-and-see attitude, he always wanted to let Tianyu Sect and Wanfeng Lin fight and lose both, and then he could find an opportunity to get the benefits of the fisherman, and take the opportunity to recover the Jingzhou Domain, if he was lucky, he could still get the Yingzhou Domain, then then the Purple Gold Pavilion would be able to monopolize the three major states plus the God Capital Tiansheng City, and then it would really be the largest sect in the empire.
It's a pity that Zijin Pavilion never thought that Wan Fenglin, as the number one sect in the Southern Empire, has two major states of Suizhou and Linzhou, and at least he can be evenly matched with the Tianyu Sect, but the result is a one-sided defeat, Wan Fenglin is not the opponent of the Tianyu Sect at all, even if the Tianyu Sect is the largest sect in the world, Wan Fenglin can't beat one of the Tianyu Sect with the strength of the two major states.
Later, when he heard that Wan Fenglin had organized the alliance of the seven major sects of the Southern Empire to form the "Earth Alliance" and unite the forces of the seven major states and one sea area to deal with the Tianyu Sect, the Purple Gold Pavilion clan even felt a little excited. Thinking that if the Tianyu Sect is not an enemy, and then the Tianyu Sect and the Earth Alliance will both be defeated, then the opportunity for him to recover the Jingzhou Domain will come again.
For this day, the Purple Gold Pavilion is also secretly preparing.
But what I never expected was that the battle between the Tianyu Sect and the Earth Alliance had not yet started, and the Tianyu Sect, the largest sect in the empire, actually began to "admit it", and also depreciated himself and said that he was not the opponent of the Earth Alliance, and was ready to strategically give up the Yingzhou Domain and the Jingzhou Domain, and asked the Purple Gold Pavilion to protect itself and be blessed.
Originally, I thought that sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai in the imperial capital could reap the benefits of the fisherman's Zijin Pavilion was "generalized" by an army.
At the beginning, the Purple Gold Pavilion thought that if the Tianyu Sect could not defeat the Earth Alliance, then the Tianyu Sect would come to the Purple Gold Pavilion for help, then the Purple Gold Pavilion could negotiate terms with the Tianyu Sect, and even ask the Tianyu Sect to exchange the Jingzhou Domain for the support of the Purple Gold Pavilion. In that kind of urgent situation for the survival of the sect, there was a high probability that the Heavenly Feather Sect would agree to the request of the Purple Gold Pavilion. Unexpectedly, the Tianyu Sect directly "put aside the burden and quit", and pushed the great gains and losses to the side of the Purple Gold Pavilion.
Zijin Pavilion felt that he had fallen into the "trap" of the Heavenly Feather Sect!
If the Purple Gold Pavilion does not achieve an "alliance" with the Tianyu Sect and does not achieve unconditional "support", then the Tianyu Sect will give up the Yingzhou Domain and the Jingzhou Domain, and save the strength of the sect in the remaining two states - the Yunzhou Domain and the Dingzhou Domain. For the Tianyu Sect, at least the sect is still there, there are at least two states, and there are still opportunities and capital to turn over in the future.
The Purple Gold Pavilion will face the Seven Great Sects of the Earth Alliance alone, so there will be no suspense that the Purple Gold Pavilion will lose the existing Zhongzhou Domain and the Imperial Capital Tiansheng City. Because when they were the "Heavenly Sage Second Clan", they followed the royal family of the Heavenly Sage Empire to establish the empire, and they fought in the Southern Empire for many years, and also slaughtered many people of the southern tribes, especially many adult men, so the Purple Gold Pavilion also knew that the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance also hated themselves to the core, if they were allowed to occupy the jurisdiction of the Purple Gold Pavilion, according to the Southern Empire's habit of "retribution" of the sect, the Purple Gold Pavilion was destined to be wiped out.
Between the slim hope of possibly obtaining the Jingzhou Domain and the absolute loss of the Zhongzhou Domain, the Imperial Capital, and the destruction of the clan, although there was some reluctance, the Purple Pavilion finally had to choose to keep what it "had", and not be greedy for "possibility".
There is actually only one choice left for the Purple Gold Pavilion, and that is to unconditionally support the Tianyu Sect, and let the Tianyu Sect become bigger and stronger, bigger and stronger than it is now, strong enough to confront the seven major sects of the entire Earth Alliance.
Therefore, in the end, the Purple Gold Pavilion agreed to form an alliance with the Heavenly Feather Sect, and the "Heavenly Saint Clan" was united again after hundreds of years.
Because it is located in the Northern Empire and is a combination of the "Heavenly Saint Clan", the alliance is temporarily named "Heavenly Alliance", referred to as "Heavenly Alliance". Claiming to be the orthodoxy of the empire, the emperor ordered the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance to be conquered. For the time being, the oath made is also "the two heavenly saints, return my glory, recover the southern border, and unify the empire."
