Chapter 220: A Decree to Subdue the Demon Sect
"It's coming so fast!" Qian Wantong's eyes froze, and his breath fluttered, and he instantly changed from a rich man in the countryside to an unfathomable martial arts master, with a blazing light in his eyes.
Fu Yihan's beautiful eyes glanced at Qian Wantong, and the aura that Qian Wantong inadvertently exuded actually made her quite frightened, it seems that this person must have hidden his strength in general.
'Could it be that he has secretly broken through the celestials?' Fu Yihan thought in surprise.
Niu Shengkui didn't seem to notice the change in Qian Wantong, and stood up straight and said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”
The three of them came to the outside of the hall together, the shadow-like Xing Wuying and the ghost-like Huang Jiuyou had already arrived, but Yan Hangxuan didn't know where to go.
"How's it going?" Qian Wantong asked the two who arrived first.
"Ten celestials and men have arrived, this matter is beyond our reach, and the ancestors have already gone to meet." Xing Wuying said coldly.
"That's it." Qian Wantong looked at the figure in the sky and sighed faintly.
The Demon Sect also implements the abdication system of heaven and man, so the six sect masters are only in the realm of great grandmasters.
If the Great Grandmaster wants to deal with the Celestials, it is as ridiculous as a baby wanting to fight a sound adult man, and the Celestial-Human level struggle, they can't intervene at all, so all they can do at this moment is to wait.
"Yan Hangxuan, where's the old guy?" Fu Yihan suddenly asked.
"Who knows, maybe he has already run away, that old boy is the most slippery, and he is close to the Golden Wolf Royal Court, in this case, it is impossible to change the court." Huang Jiuyou smiled, but there was a sharp glint in his eyes, presumably he was quite dissatisfied with the Golden Wolf Court's behavior of smearing oil on the soles of his feet when he saw that the situation was not good.
The five of them exchanged a few more words, and then all focused on the sky.
At this moment, the seven celestials of the Demon Sect and the ten people of Lin Xingkong were facing each other, and the leader was a white-haired old man, who was the previous leader of the Demon Sect, Xu Yuan's grandfather, Xu Cheng.
The position of the Six Sect Masters of the Demon Sect may not be hereditary, but the leader of the Demon Sect has always been inherited by the Xu family, and the founder of the Demon Sect who is incomparable and subdued the world is the ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Potian!
Thousands of years ago, the Demon Sect was not established, the Six Realms were independent, and they struggled to survive under the oppression of the three major sects, and when the territory of the Demon Sect was constantly encroached upon by the righteous sects, and it was in danger of overturning, a man who turned the sky into the sky came out of the sky, and with his own incomparable strength, he pressed the Six Paths to bow his head, and then integrated the resources of the Six Realms to establish the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect is growing in the hands of Xu Potian, that is, the territory of the Demon Sect is still in the Central Plains, and at its peak, it is even faintly able to fight with one against three, and the three major sects have come and gone.
However, after Xu Potian's death, the Demon Sect was also declining, not only was it driven to this bitter cold land in the north by the three major sects and the Great Qi, but the strength of the Xu family was gradually weakening, and by the time Xu Yuan's father's generation, he was almost unable to lead the Demon Sect.
Xu Cheng was already an old dragon clock at this time, and the light of life in his eyes was like a candle swaying in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
"Old decay Xu Cheng, I have seen His Highness Xingkong." Xu Cheng arched his hand slightly, but his back, which was already a little bent, could not bend further.
"It turned out to be Old Sect Leader Xu." Lin Xingkong also arched his hand, but he didn't care too much in his heart, after all, he was an old-timer in the rivers and lakes, and it was already quite difficult to let a strong person in the Heavenly and Human Realm of this generation bow his head.
"I don't know where Sect Master Xu is, why don't you show up to see it?" Lin Xingkong asked in surprise, because Lin Tianheng had specially explained Xu Yuan's affairs to him before leaving, he was quite curious about this mysterious Demon Sect Master.
Xu Yuan is indeed mysterious, after he shocked the world with one enemy and six enemies, he spent most of his time on this snowy mountain, and he was quite a kind of lady who did not go out of the door, and Lin Tianheng, who was in the old mansion before.
Moreover, Xu Yuan not only secretly promoted the celestials, but also reached the extremely high realm among the celestials, and this war has also been shown from beginning to end, even Lin Tianheng can't guess what kind of medicine Xu Yuan's gourd sells, can Lin Xingkong not be curious.
"Xu Yuan should be afraid of His Highness's might, and he disappeared without a trace at some point, and we are also looking for him." Yin Charm Dao Ancestor said, compared to Fu Yihan, this is the real old witch, nearly four hundred years old, she looks like a mature woman in her forties, her words and demeanors have her own style, and she can attract the most primitive flames in people's hearts.
Lin Xingkong just glanced at it, and he felt a burst of heat in his abdomen, after breaking through the heavenly man, his body seemed to have become a lot younger, but for this kind of old monster, he didn't dare to look at it more, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
The celestials of the three major sects also knew the power of this one, and they silently recited "Amitabha Buddha" or "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" or the like in their hearts.
"In that case, then the old sect leader should be in charge of the affairs of your sect now." Lin Xingkong smiled and refocused his gaze on Xu Cheng, he heard the meaning of weakness in the words of the Yin Charm Dao Ancestor, presumably the Demon Sect already had the intention of surrendering.
"Your Highness might as well say it directly, although the old man has abdicated for many years, in the sect, speaking should still work." Xu Chengdao.
"The old sect leader's sword is not old, and the meaning of this palace must be very clear to you. The trend of my Great Xia sweeping the world has been completed, and your sect will be crushed by the torrent of the general trend if it resists so stubbornly, so it is better to return to our dynasty as soon as possible. Lin Xingkong said bluntly, without the slightest threat, just stating a fact.
The nine celestials of the three major sects were secretly vigilant, if the Demon Sect was really stubborn, then after Lin Xingkong said this, there was a high probability that he would tear his face.
However, they are all high in the sky now, and even if the Demon Sect opens the Great Guardian Array, they will not fall into the formation.
As soon as they heard this, the faces of the seven celestials on the Demon Sect side really became unsightly, even if the seeds of surrender had been planted in their hearts, when they heard Lin Xingkong's words of "if you don't surrender you die", they would feel a little awkward in their hearts.
But it's awkward to be awkward, the seven of them are all old foxes who have lived for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for them to lose their minds because of a little emotion, they all know very well that Lin Xingkong and they can't afford to provoke them.
Lin Tianheng sent his son Lin Xingkong, who had just broken through the Heavenly Man, to be sure that he was completely sure, if they really didn't know the current affairs, the next time Lin Tianheng came in person, I was afraid that none of them would be able to escape, and the entire Demon Sect would be destroyed.
Moreover, it is as strong as the three major sects have surrendered, isn't it a matter of course for them to surrender, and more importantly, Lin Tianheng has not dealt a heavy hand to the three major sects for the time being, so the ancestors of the Demon Sect are also happy to maintain the status quo, and there seems to be nothing wrong with surrendering to Great Qi before, and now surrendering to Great Xia.
Besides, Xu Yuan, the culprit who started the war, has disappeared, so they are unwilling to take the cylinder for it, even Xu Yuan's own grandfather Xu Chengdu felt that his grandson's move was too reckless, and almost dragged the Demon Sect into the abyss of no return.
Therefore, Xu Cheng surrendered on behalf of the Demon Sect: "My sect is willing to surrender to Great Xia, and I hope that His Royal Highness will take the initiative to surrender for the sake of us, and don't make it too difficult for my sect members." ”
Xu Cheng knew the culpability of the Demon Sect, and he didn't expect Lin Tianheng to be generous enough to directly pardon them, but he had to fight for leniency.
"As for the way your sect is handled, my father has already made a will, so let's wait for it." Lin Xingkong was very satisfied with Xu Cheng's attitude, and immediately took out the holy decree given to him by Lin Tianheng.
Lin Xingkong threw the holy decree into the air, and the scroll opened, and a golden light shot out from it, converging into a figure above the heavenly dome, extremely majestic, like the Emperor of Heaven, it was Lin Tianheng!
At the same time, an unimaginably terrifying coercion swept through the entire Great Snow Mountain, and all living beings fell to their knees and exerted their fears.
The seven celestial beings of the Demon Sect were like seven birds with broken wings, falling straight from the air, smashing seven large pits on the mountain, and the big snowy mountain seemed to become full of magnetic force in an instant, holding the seven people tightly to the ground, unable to even do the simple action of raising their heads.
Seeing this scene, the nine celestials of the three major sects swallowed their saliva in unison, only to feel that the edict brought by Lin Jianli that day was already extremely polite.
Lin Xingkong smiled slightly, with this volume of holy intent in his hands, no one in the entire continent could hurt him, and the entire Demon Sect would prostrate at his feet.
This is one of the abilities of the gods, which can divide the power of many Dao Yuan Gods, and thousands of miles away, they can already manifest their power with the help of this distraction power.
At this moment, Lin Tianheng, who had been condensed with golden light, spoke: "This battle started from the Demon Sect, and it should end with the Demon Sect. Although the Demon Sect has launched wars and caused chaos, it should have imposed heavy punishments and corrected the law. However, I will sincerely submit to you, and I will open the net. ”
"Thank you for your grace." Xu Cheng shouted with all his strength, but the sound was like a mosquito, and even Lin Xingkong couldn't hear it.
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and the Demon Sect was ordered to hand over half of its property for post-war reconstruction for the benefit of the people. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be assigned to the army and be the court of the Golden Wolf King in the north of Great Xia! ”
Lin Tianheng really didn't have the idea of punishing the people in the Demon Sect according to the law, instead of killing them just like that, it was better to use them and let them deal with the Golden Wolf Royal Court, and it was the Golden Wolf Royal Court that turned their backs on them first, presumably they were holding back a fire in their hearts, let them do this, they would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Regarding the punishment, Lin Tianheng didn't say too much, the specific details still had to be handled by Lin Xingkong, and he could guide the general direction.
Hearing such a punishment, the people of the Demon Sect were overjoyed and a little painful, happy that their lives were saved, of course, because of the half of the property, this is the accumulation of thousands of years of the Demon Sect, and when they are piled up, it is a mountain of gold and silver, but in order to save their lives, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.
Immediately, all these emotions were transformed into resentment towards the Golden Wolf Court, compared to the Great Xia Army, I am afraid that the Demon Sect is now the existence that most wants to destroy the Golden Wolf Court.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Tianheng simply said that the matter of punishment would actually attract people from the Demon Sect.
I only heard Lin Tianheng say: "Where is Qian Wantong?" ”
At the same time, the people of the Demon Sect only felt a lightness on their bodies, and the pressure of the collapse of the day was gone.
Although Qian Wantong was extremely nervous in his heart, he still stood up in the surprised gaze of everyone, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then saluted Lin Tianheng's phantom: "Qian Wantong sees Your Majesty." ”
"I want to establish the Ministry of Commerce and lead the affairs of the world's merchants, I heard that you are good at this, and you are the head of the world's merchants, and you will temporarily take the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce in the future." Lin Tianheng said.
"Minister, Commander! Thank you, Holy Ronne! Hearing this, Qian Wantong was slightly stunned, and then bowed his head to thank him, with an indescribable excitement in his eyes.
This world is the same as many feudal dynasties, the status of merchants is low, according to the previous laws of the Great Qi, all businessmen are not allowed to enter the court as officials, except for Qian Wantong, a martial arts master, no matter how rich the status of a businessman is not as good as a small official, it can be said to be very deformed.
Qian Wantong is actually a die-hard supporter of Xu Yuan, and the fundamental reason is that because Xu Yuan does not discriminate against these businessmen, during the period when Xu Yuan was in charge of the Demon Sect, the status of the Demon Caidao gradually rose, and he Qian Wantong himself had a faint tendency to become the second person under Xu Yuan.
Now, Lin Tianheng founded the Ministry of Commerce, that is, to allow businessmen to enter the court as officials, opening the door to businessmen's careers, it is really a great fortune for businessmen in the world, Qian Wantong is of course excited, and it can even be said that this is his dream!
If it weren't for the wrong environment at this time, Qian Wantong really wanted to shout three emperor's declarations and give a set of speeches to express his loyalty, and at this moment, his allegiance was immediately transferred from Xu Yuan to Lin Tianheng.
For the benefit of the world's businessmen, this is Qian Wantong's greatest wish buried in the bottom of his heart, becoming the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce is the first step to realize his wish, he has the confidence and ability to hold this position.
Don't say that everyone in the Demon Sect, even Lin Xingkong was shocked by Lin Tianheng's handwriting, not only founded the unprecedented Ministry of Commerce, but also let the people of the Demon Sect serve as Shangshu, which was really shocking.
They don't know the importance of business, but Lin Tianheng knows it, the so-called "no agriculture, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life", the country wants to prosper, the development of industry, agriculture and commerce is indispensable, Daqi ignored this piece before, Lin Tianheng naturally can't continue to ignore it, Qian Wantong, the most profitable businessman, fell into his eyes.
According to the information collected by Lin Tianheng, the wealth handled by the demon wealth road accounts for almost three to four percent of the total wealth of Daqi, which is terrifying!
The celestials of the three major sects were considering the deeper meaning of Lin Tianheng's move, since the people of the Demon Sect were all able to enter the court as officials, and they were still in high positions, could they also enter the phase?
In the past, the Zhou family of Daqi did not have the courage to invite powerful people from the rivers and lakes to serve in the core departments of the imperial court, and even if they had the courage to let the three major sects settle in the court, the three major sects would not be willing to work for Daqi.
At the beginning, Lin Tianheng and the great grandmasters could designate Lin Xingkong to take over the position of county guard, not to mention the rule of the three major sects, the appointment and dismissal of all officials were under their control, although Daqi would also send some officials, but it could only be used as a decoration.
However, this time is different from the past, the three major sects have seen Lin Tianheng's strong strength, and if they continue to stick to their one-third of an acre of land, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be eaten away by the thriving Great Xia.
There are many martial artists of the three major sects, and there are also many smart people, so it is not surprising to be able to see this, since this is the case, in order to better survive and develop in the new country, they must embark on a new path.
Now, Qian Wantong's appointment as secretary of the Ministry of Commerce has pointed out a new direction for them.
Since you can't beat it, then just join in!
Only in this way can the three major sects continue to seize the interests that originally belonged to them in the new era.
Lin Tianheng also expected this, since he would recruit Qian Wantong now, he naturally considered the situation of the three major sects, he was not afraid of people in the martial arts to become officials, as long as he had real talent and learning, he could contribute to Daxia, and there was no problem with having a high position.
Lin Tianheng knew that in a short period of time, it was basically impossible to completely eliminate the influence of the three major sects.
In this case, it is better to let them become good ministers of Great Xia, and slowly assimilate them while Great Xia is taking off, and Lin Tianheng also has the Holy Martial Pavilion and the contribution point system, presumably it won't take long for them to let go of the sect and completely throw themselves into the arms of Great Xia!
Therefore, whether it is the imperial examination or the martial arts, Lin Tianheng did not set the rule that people in the rivers and lakes could not participate, and even encouraged the rangers who were originally at odds with the imperial court to show their talents, enter the court, and serve the country.
Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and sell the goods to the emperor's family, this is the concept that the people of Daxia should be sought after by everyone!
The great Demon Sect, the only one who can get Lin Tianheng's blue eyes is Qian Wantong, after all, among the six realms of the Demon Sect, the one that is really beneficial to the country and can promote social progress is only the Demon Wealth Dao.
Among the other five realms, the Spirit Gu Dao had a bit of an effect on the Alchemy Hall that Lin Tianheng had just built, but the Alchemy Hall was one of the real core departments of the Lin family, and it would definitely not absorb the people of the Spirit Gu Dao to enter, at most, it would just make them hand over the classics.
The Evil Blood Dao and the Ghost Soul Dao are the true combat power of the Demon Sect, one body and one god, one outside and one inside, but Lin Tianheng is not interested in their exercises, so it is better to directly let them be thugs and go to the Extreme North Ice Plain to fight with the wolf army of the Golden Wolf Royal Court.
Yin Ghost Dao and Ghost Shadow Dao are both service industries, and they are both service industries that Lin Tianheng doesn't like very much, Yin Ghost Dao will skip it for the time being, there is nothing to say about the skin and meat business, let's just say that the killer business that Ghost Shadow Dao is responsible for is a tumor that destroys social harmony, and if they are not exterminated on the spot, it will already be regarded as a holy grace, and there is no hope for entering the imperial court.
So, after arranging these two things, Lin Tianheng's phantom escaped into the scroll of the holy decree and flew back into Lin Xing's empty hand.
Lin Xingkong coerced this holy decree, even if the Demon Sect rebelled and opened the Great Guardian Array, he was not afraid, so he landed on the Great Snow Mountain with the celestials of the three major sects, and used this as his temporary command post.
The next target is the Golden Wolf Court!
