However, the general trend of the world is not the same reason at all.

Later, the fire lost its deer, and the whole world chased it. The Star Ruin Sect took advantage of the situation and united with other forces to drive the Agni Empire from the central part of Hezhou to the extreme west.

And these seven houses are the number one master in the world, the star lord of the Star Ruins faction.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, after all, the Fire Empire was once the overlord of Hezhou, although it is partial to the extreme west, but the foundation is still there, and later it controlled a large number of spiritual veins and nine secluded lands in the extreme west, and the national strength quickly recovered, and soon unified the western continent.

According to the ranking of Hezhou's forces, the Fire Empire can definitely rank in the top three, second only to the Star Ruins Sect and the Heavenly Army Alliance.

The rapid rise of the Agni Empire made the Star Ruin Sect and many forces that had participated in the Great War feel uneasy, so they tried to send people to infiltrate the extreme west to weaken the strength of the Agni Empire little by little, and it was very effective.

The Shooting Sun City is the main transportation route leading to the Extreme West Spirit Vein Sand Domain, as well as the Nine Secluded Lands, so this city has become the focus of contention among various factions.

After hundreds of thousands of years of contention and even war, although the current Sun Shooting City nominally belongs to the Agni Empire, the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion has been greatly reduced, and the spiritual veins of the Far West Land and the Nine Shadows Land no longer belong to the Agni Empire alone, but have been divided among the various factions.

The current emperor of the Fire Empire, Chi Boling, is known as the God Emperor, and his specific realm is ominous.

He also has two brothers, one was named a prince and the other was a county king, both of whom were masters of the divine realm.

Among the nine sons of the God Emperor, the eldest Chi Yan was already a demigod cultivator, and he was crowned the king of Wucheng. The second prince, Chi Yansheng, is also a master of Jindan Great Perfection and was crowned the king of Tianguang County.

The realm of the three princes is ominous, the four princes and the six princes are also masters above the middle stage of Jindan, and the seventh prince and the ninth prince are not titled in the early stage of Jindan. The fifth prince died early, and the eighth prince never came back after going out to practice, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

In addition, the Divine Emperor Chi Boling also gave birth to sixteen princesses, but only eleven survived.

The Flame Empire has five titles, duke, marquis, earl, son, and male, and each title is divided into one, two, and three ranks, which are usually given to the emperor's relatives, imperial heroes, and meritorious city lords.

As the highest title of duke below the king, it is only given to the emperor's relatives and courtiers who have made great contributions to the empire. Titles below the Duke shall be granted as the case may be.

The area below the empire is also divided into megacities, main cities, annex cities, and small cities, which are no different from the rest of Hezhou, except in their subordination.

Most of the other regions of Hezhou and the territories of various sects, between the giants, the lords, the annexes and the small cities, are not subordinate, but belong to the major forces, and very few are subordinate to each other.

This is not the case with the Fire Empire, where each giant city belongs to dozens of main cities, and each main city belongs to dozens or hundreds of attached cities, and so on.

If the lord of the giant city of the empire has merit, he can be awarded the title of marquis, the main city can be awarded the earl, and the attached city can be named viscount or baron, and the general lord of the small city is not eligible for the title.

The lords of each city had a title before they took office, and they naturally had a title after taking office. Those who did not have a knighthood before were eligible for a knighthood only five years after becoming the lord of the city, provided that they had meritorious service first.

If there is chaos in the city within five years, or the overall strength of the city regresses, or the officials and citizens are extremely dissatisfied with the city lord, then the knighthood will be postponed for another five years until the city is stabilized.

After that, if the city is still in chaos, the lord of the city is removed on the spot and handed over to the empire for strict punishment.

The treatment of city lords with and without titles is very different, so the city lords of the Fire Empire regard obtaining the title as the goal of struggle, and they are diligent in political affairs, good at managing the city, and do not dare to slack off in the slightest, so as to ensure that the upload is issued and the government decree is unified.

In this way, the Fire Empire's rule over the cities and regions was much stronger and tighter than the rest of Hezhou. Except, of course, Sunshooting City.

You must know that cultivators are not the same as mortals, they are born with an unyielding will and dare to go against the sky, let alone be controlled by others. Therefore, it was not easy for the Fire Empire to be able to do this in the cultivation realm.

There were many forces that tried to learn from the empire's form of rule, but all of them failed, and they could only implement loose management, grasp the big and let go of the small, and give each city and each region a high degree of autonomy.

The introduction of the Nine Emperor Princes Chi Yanmu in the jade slip is also very detailed, and it can be summarized into eight words, which is cynical and really talented.

Divine Emperor Chi Boling highly valued the Nine Emperor Princes, and personally approved that he be put in the Sun Shooting City for training, and was in charge of the City Lord's Mansion to guard the forbidden army and the outpost camp, and his status was second only to the City Lord Yun Lizi, that is, the two deputy city lords had to respect him a little.

The Nine Emperor Princes were often accompanied by many Jindan masters, and it was extremely difficult to assassinate this person.

"Master, the treasure fair has begun!" Just as Zhou Yang was delving into Sun Shooting City and the Nine Emperor Princes, Xiao Er's voice sounded outside the door.

Zhou Yang was annoyed for a while, why is this damn guy so persistent, is there a big bounty for pulling someone to go?

"The little monk doesn't need treasures. Zhou Yang said coldly.

"The monks don't speak, but the master said he would go and see it. Xiao Er insisted.

"This ......" Zhou Yang was speechless, he did say something like this.

The little monk went immediately. After being stunned for a while, Zhou Yang said helplessly.

"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Er said happily.

"Xiao Er, is there still a room?" Zhou Yang reluctantly walked out of the room and met the three of Tu Gongzi.

If people don't go well, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, Zhou Yang was depressed, pretended not to see it, and turned around to leave.

"Yo, we really have a relationship with this great monk!" The tall cultivator caught a glimpse of Zhou Yang at a glance, and was also stunned, and then shouted loudly.

"Amitabha, there is indeed fate. Xiao Er, let's clean the room for a few donors. Zhou Yang saluted the three of them with one hand, and explained that Xiao Er was about to leave.

"Master and slow. Tu Gongzi snapped and put away the folding fan, looked Zhou Yang up and down, and asked with a smile: "Hehe, I don't know where the master comes from?"

"The donor is not an adult from the City Lord's Mansion, right?" Zhou Yang asked rhetorically.

"You monk, my son-in-law asked you, and you told you the truth, why so much trouble!" the tall cultivator raised his eyebrows and reprimanded.

"The little monk is not obliged to tell him. Zhou Yang's tone also cooled.

"What a bald donkey with sharp teeth dares to ...... with a son like this"

"Chengba, step aside!"

Before the tall cultivator could finish speaking, he was stopped by Tu Gongzi.

"Yes, Childe. "Chengba is very respectful to young people.

"Sure enough, it's Chengba, that one is Sikong Jie!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but secretly wonder.
