Chapter 8: Northland
Out of the imperial capital to the north, the end of the Zijin Mountains will reach the Yanzhou region, and the Yanzhou region will further north to the largest state of the empire "Xianzhou Domain", the north of the Xianzhou region is also the extreme north of the northern border of the empire "Extreme Cold Northland", and the east is the boundless snow vein. The main hall of the sect of Wuji Gate is set up in the northwest of Xianzhou Domain, and there is a huge pool of water, which is called Wuji Cold Pond.
The Wuji clan in the north is the larger clan of the Northern Empire, due to the small population in the northern part of the empire, especially in the Xianzhou region, the strength of the major tribes is weak, and the Wuji clan is the strongest in it, and the tribes in the entire extreme north region have great appeal. When the Tiansheng clan unified the Northern Empire, the most difficult thing to conquer was the Wuji clan, although the Wuji tribe had few people, but each of them had amazing survivability, especially in the ice and snow, they were good at hiding and strong skills, so it took a lot of effort for the Tiansheng clan to finally subdue the Wuji clan.
Later, the Tiansheng clan established the Tiansheng Empire and unified the southern border, and the Wuji clan remained in the Xianzhou Domain, doing things in a low-key manner, and was not well known by the major sects. Even the Heavenly Feather Sect and the Purple Gold Pavilion, which both belonged to the Northern Empire and had fought side by side with the Heavenly Sage Clan for many years, did not know much about the Wuji Clan.
And it didn't take long for the Wuji clan to become famous, so famous that all the major sects in the empire were familiar with it. The empire entered a period of chaos, especially after Wan Fenglin began to raise troops in the Linzhou Domain, the Wuji clan, who had been in seclusion, also saw an opportunity, and they secretly quickly awakened the strength that had been gathered under the pressure of the Heavenly Saint Clan, and put it in various towns in the Xianzhou Domain. The Wuji clan thought that when the Imperial Heavenly Saint Legion was heading south to quell the rebellion in the south, they could take advantage of the emptiness of the empire in the extreme north region and take the Xianzhou region into their possession in one fell swoop.
But the Wuji clan was also able to hold their breath and endure it until the back.
At first, the Wuji clan felt that the Tiansheng Empire was still strong, because they were the first tribe in the entire empire to truly see the combat power of the Tiansheng clan, so they didn't want to become the first bird, because the first bird died quickly. But what the Wuji clan never expected was that the royal family of the Tiansheng Empire was defeated so quickly. At the beginning, Wan Fenglin won, and also obtained the territory of Linzhou Domain and Suizhou Domain, and the Wuji clan was even wondering if the royal family of the Tiansheng Empire was hiding its strength, and a bigger conspiracy would appear, so the Wuji clan still didn't move. But later, the six sects of the Southern Realm all defeated the Heavenly Sage Corps in the local state domain, and even Linggu and others won the victory and obtained the Tengzhou domain.
Only then did the Wuji clan react, it seems that the royal family of the Tiansheng Empire is not hiding its strength, but it really has no strength.
At this time, the Wuji clan conquered the Xianzhou domain with lightning speed, and after the victory, they continued to wave their troops south to obtain another state "Yanzhou domain", compared with the desolate Xianzhou domain, the Yanzhou domain can be described as a "paradise" general existence.
Originally, this Tianyu Sect of Yanzhou Domain wanted to include all of its own, but at that time, the Tianyu Sect and Wanfenglin in the south were fighting fiercely in the state domain, so they had no time to divide their forces to carry out the Northern Expedition, and then seize the Yanzhou Domain. On the one hand, because the continuous Zijin Mountains were isolated between Yanzhou and Zhongzhou, the traffic was not smooth, and it was difficult to send troops north, on the other hand, because there were no valuable minerals in Yanzhou, and the "rich" Zijin Pavilion occupied Zhongzhou and the imperial capital, so it was naturally not interested in the poor Yanzhou region.
This allowed the Wuji clan to seize the opportunity and seize the Yanzhou domain without much effort.
In order to defend the Yanzhou Domain and the entire extreme north region of the empire, the Wuji clan deployed more than eighty percent of the men and horses in the Yanzhou Domain, especially the passes and towns bordering the Zhongzhou Domain, the Jingzhou Domain, and the Dingzhou Domain.
The Wuji clan, who were originally unknown in the empire, took advantage of the opportunity in the empire's "carve-up frenzy" to seize the Xianzhou domain and the Yanzhou domain in one fell swoop, established the "Wuji Gate", and became one of the ten major sects of the empire with two major states under its jurisdiction like the most powerful sect in the south, "Wanfeng Lin".
The Xianzhou domain is the largest state domain in the empire, and the Yanzhou domain is the third largest state region in the empire, second only to the Xianzhou domain and the Qizhou domain of the Lingyun Hall in the northwest of the empire. The combined area of the two states has been compared with the area of the four major states of Tianyu Prefecture, namely Yingzhou, Jingzhou, Yunzhou, and Dingzhou. However, because it is located at the northern end of the empire, it is extremely cold everywhere, so these two major states are actually not developed, and more than seventy percent of the population is concentrated in the vicinity of Yanzhou near Zhongzhou, especially the state city of Yanzhou - Yancheng is the most prosperous city in the entire Wujimen.
If the Xianzhou Domain is the core of the Wuji Sect clan, then the Yanzhou Domain is the heart of the survival of the Wuji Sect.
The Yanzhou domain presents a semi-encircled shape, from the north, northwest, and east to surround the Zijin Pavilion Zhongzhou domain and the imperial capital, Yancheng is even closer to the imperial capital Tiansheng City than the distance from the Zhongzhou Prefecture City "Zhongzhou" to the imperial capital. The southwest of the Yanzhou domain borders the Dingzhou domain of the Tianyu Sect, and the southeast borders the Jingzhou domain of the Tianyu Sect.
The other major state of Wujimen, "Xianzhou Domain", is the only state in the empire that does not border with other sect states, and anyone who wants to reach Xianzhou can only achieve it through Yanzhou Domain, so Xianzhou Domain is equivalent to the "private land" of Wujimen, and few people will go to Xianzhou Domain regardless of whether it is a businessman or a traveler, so in the entire empire, it is estimated that Xianzhou Domain is the most "backward" Although it is already the sphere of influence of Wujimen, in fact, Wujimen only occupies large towns, many remote and inconvenient areas, and Wujimen has not even been involved, so some people say that in the entire Tiansheng Empire, the most mysterious place is only Xianzhou Domain.
Tianyu Sect went all the way to the north, and saw the customs and customs in the southern part of the Yanzhou Domain similar to the Zhongzhou Domain and the wealth that he did not expect, especially the state city "Yancheng" was large in scale, which was similar to the state city in the south. In the middle of the state, the towns gradually become smaller, especially in the north, near the Xianzhou region, which is more desolate and dilapidated.
After entering the Xianzhou region, the environment here is different from the Tiansheng Great Plain and the Yanzhou region, the further north you go, the more desolate it is, even the state city of the Xianzhou region "Beixiancheng" is also very small, if it is placed in the southern state, it is estimated that it is equivalent to a small town, if it is the first time to go, you can't imagine that it will be a state city.
The main hall of Wujimen is not in the prosperous Yancheng, nor in the smaller Beixiancheng, but in the desolate and uninhabited eastern part of the Xianzhou region.
This is also where the Tianyu Sect believes that the Wuji Gate is "not to be underestimated" and "admirable"!
After obtaining the Xianzhou Domain and the Yanzhou Domain, Wujimen did not move the sect to Yancheng or Beixiancheng, which had "better conditions", but continued to stay in the "Wuji Cold Pond" in the eastern part of the desolate Xianzhou Domain.
The sect is still as low-key as ever.
