The man in black's already desperate face suddenly became ecstatic, struggled to sit up again, raised his arms high, and shouted feverishly with his bloody mouth: "Your Majesty the King of Di Palace! His Majesty the King of Di Palace! His Majesty the King of Di Gong rules the world! His Majesty the King of Di Gong rules the world! ”

The man in black knelt on the ground, prostrating frantically behind the blood-colored figure, looking almost fanatical.

"King Di Gong?" Qu Wuming heard his shout, and his heart couldn't help but sink, and his face, which was hidden in his robe, was filled with incomparable anger at the same time.

The name of King Di Gong is very familiar.

Many, many years ago, it was he who put an end to the strife between the islands in which Izumo Province was located and established the unified Izumo Province. Subsequently, he worked hard in Izumo Province to raise the living standards of ordinary people in Izumo Province, which was originally relatively backward, to a new height, and he used his iron hand to win over and conquer, and all the monastic sects and many miscellaneous shrines that were originally scattered throughout Izumo Province were brought under his rule, becoming the first true king in the history of the islands of Izumo Province.

For Izumo Province, he was both a powerful cultivator and an outstanding ruler.

But to the Eastern Continent, he was a brutal demon with many crimes.

After he unified the Izumo Kingdom, he coveted the Eastern Continent, which was across the sea and rich in resources, and since then, he has launched one expedition after another against the Eastern Continent, and I don't know how many ordinary people have been displaced and killed by his invasion, and I don't know how many cultivators from the Eastern Continent have stained the land with blood to resist his invasion.

At that time, Qu Wuming had not yet been born and had not personally experienced the changes of the year. However, in the process of cultivating, I have heard many stories about that time more than once, and I have also seen many video records that have been deliberately preserved.

The crimes of King Di Gong are too numerous to mention!

However, at that time, the Eastern Continent was still under the rule of the Futi Kingdom. Compared to the powerful Ugeti Kingdom, the Izumo Kingdom was just a small land, and the King of Di Gong did not dare to challenge the behemoth of the Ukiti Kingdom at all.

Therefore, at the beginning, he could only choose to send envoys to show favor and praise the Futi country, and offer some low-value local products as tribute in exchange for the generous reward of the Futi country. On the other hand, they quietly arranged for ordinary people led by cultivators to secretly migrate across the sea to some remote areas of the Eastern Continent to live with the local indigenous people, so as to help the indigenous people in those remote areas who were living in difficulty, and wanted to slowly assimilate, integrate, and infiltrate. This method has been carried out for more than ten years, and it has indeed achieved a lot of results, and even today, there are still some places where more than half of the residents are descendants of immigrants from Izumo Province, and these places have even built monuments to those infiltrators of those years, and pay tribute to the "great achievements" of the "ancestors"!

However, this approach is ultimately too slow, and there are very few resources that can be stolen from those places.

There is not a day when King Di Gong is not dreaming of being able to include the entire Eastern Continent in his territory, but in the face of the powerful Futi Kingdom, he can only secretly look at the ocean and sigh.

Finally, one day, he waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

One year, the Demon Beast Continent, far away at the other end of the Ten Directions Realm, suddenly opened a spatial passage and invaded the Eastern Continent on a large scale, which became a fuse and brought the entire Eastern Continent into turmoil for more than a hundred years.

After that, the Futi Kingdom, which unified the continent, collapsed, leaving only half of the country, while the other half was divided among the many monastic sects, each of which was divided into lands. Many small countries and big cities controlled by the monastic sect have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, fighting each other endlessly. Even sometimes those monastic sects would personally end up, and the conquests among the cultivators caused heavy casualties and misery among ordinary people.

Seeing the chaos in the Eastern Regions, King Di was so happy that he could hardly sleep at night, and then worshiped almost all the shrines in Izumo Province, and then reorganized the team, sent troops in a big way, and launched the first invasion war under the banner of establishing "Eastern Regions Co-prosperity".

This time, unlike the previous gentle infiltration methods, the army of the Di Gong King revealed the brutal nature that was hidden in the depths of their souls, in order to plunder resources and seize territory, they pursued a policy of killing, burning, and robbing everything.

Almost all those who dared to resist were mercilessly strangled by the invading army, and the surviving men were sent to work in the mines and other difficult places until they died, and the women were used by them as tools to vent their animal desires, and life was worse than death.

Groups of the people of Izumo Province were quickly brought to the ruins of the castle they had conquered, and the real occupation and reconstruction began. The immortal mountains and spiritual lakes that were abundant in spiritual energy were drained of their spiritual energy, and the spiritual veins were excavated, and all of them were transported back to the resource-poor Izumo Province along with various minerals plundered along the way.

Later, perhaps because he felt that the sporadic resistance encountered along the way was too weak, and the invading army of King Di Gong advanced too fast, resulting in the immigration and occupation speed behind far from keeping up with the speed of conquest in front. King Di Gong adjusted his strategy in a timely manner, and in a short period of time, he recruited a huge army composed of local cultivators and ordinary soldiers in the Eastern Continent, and under the leadership of a small number of cultivators from Izumo Kingdom, he attacked from all sides, occupied cities one after another, and even supported many small puppet countries to suppress the people and grab resources instead of himself......

In this way, in just two years, the "territory" of Izumo Province occupied a large area along the coast of the Eastern Continent, and its area almost exceeded that of Izumo Province itself several times.

The various sects of the Eastern Continent, which had been entangled with each other, finally reacted at this time, and under the mediation of the Futi Kingdom, which was still a behemoth despite its great vitality, it finally stopped the internal fighting, formed an alliance, and started a counterattack against the invaders of the Izumo Kingdom.

It's just that at this time, the strength of Izumo Province has long been different from what it used to be, and the coalition forces have not long been formed, and there are still many contradictions between them, and it is difficult to twist into a rope, and the process of counterattacking is extremely difficult, and the two sides have been fighting for several years, and they have not been able to recover all the places occupied by Izumo Province.

However, with the continuous combination of various sects and forces in the Eastern Regions Continent, the side of the Eastern Regions Continent, which was originally more profound, gradually gained the upper hand, and in the end, King Di Gong had to admit the failure of this invasion and led a remnant of the defeated army to retreat to Izumo Province, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback again.

Although the first invasion ended in failure, the resources plundered by King Di were more than enough to compensate for all the losses of Izumo Province, and even after just a few decades, it had grown stronger again, and even became more powerful than before.

Immediately after that, there was the second and third invasion launched by the king of Di Gong......

It wasn't until two hundred years later that the unbearable Eastern Regions Continent organized a large-scale counterattack, attacking the Izumo Kingdom in one fell swoop, killing almost all the cultivators of the Half-Refining Void Period who assisted the Di Gong King at that time, and seriously injuring the Di Gong King to the point that he had to fake his death to escape, which completely ended the invasion of the Izumo Kingdom.

Although King Di Gong escaped in this battle, he was finally left with hidden dangers due to his injuries, and failed to resist his ninth refining period thunder tribulation, and died under the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.

Qu Wuming originally thought that the King of Di Gong had already become the dust of history, but he never thought that he was actually recalled by his descendants with a secret method, and quietly enshrined in the shrine, becoming the patron saint of a cultivator in the cloud country!

Moreover, judging from the strength of this blood-colored humanoid at this time, I am afraid that even if the King of Di Palace has not recovered to the peak of the previous year, it is not much different - the Sky Splitting Arrow, which was weakened twice in succession by the long knife and short knife of the man in black, was firmly held in the hand of the blood-colored humanoid and could not advance an inch!

Qu Siqiu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, he thought that after his cultivation was improved to the equivalent of the first level of the refining period, the Sky Splitting Arrow that he cast would definitely be more powerful than before, but he didn't expect that the first time he used it after the promotion, he was pinched by an unfamiliar blood-colored humanoid with his bare hands?!

Seeing that the blood-colored figure seemed to want to destroy the black feather arrow, Qu Siqiu hurriedly shook the quiver in his hand, and the split-air arrow that was originally unable to move in the hand of the blood-colored figure suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had returned to the quiver safely.

The blood-colored figure also seemed to be a little surprised, and the faceless with no facial features seemed to look down at the empty hands, and then looked at the three Qu nameless people opposite.

"Who sacrificed flesh and blood to summon this king?" The blood-colored figure was still changing, and its facial features began to become clearer, and although it had not spoken, its voice had already resounded throughout the audience.

"Your Majesty, the great King of Di Palace, it is me! Your most loyal servant, Matsui! The man in black was already in tears at this time, and he knelt down a few steps to the side of the blood-colored figure, still kneeling respectfully on the ground, and said in a trembling voice.

"Matsui?" The blood-colored figure looked down at the black-clothed man kneeling at his feet, as if trying to remember something, and only nodded after a moment, "I remember you." Why has it been so long that your cultivation has not changed? ”

Seeing that the blood-colored figure remembered himself, Matsui hurriedly replied excitedly, "Your Majesty, since you left, we have built a shrine according to your orders, hoping that one day we will be able to summon you back from that world like other guardian spirits." But then, traitors and careerists began to emerge among your minions, and they didn't want you to return, so they attacked...... Later, although we managed to save your shrine, we also suffered a lot of damage...... In order to ensure that your great will will will not be forgotten by future generations, and to ensure that Izumo Kingdom can return to your control as soon as possible when you return, we have given up the plan to improve your cultivation and ascend to the upper realm, and have allocated it in batches to enter the eternal sleep with the method of stopping blood and condensing life, just to follow you when you return smoothly, and charge forward for you to expand the territory! ”

"Hmm." The facial features of the blood-colored figure at this time were no different from ordinary people, and even every hair had become clearly visible, only to hear him nod and say, "I have heard your daily prayers." Loyalty! When I return, I will be rewarded for my deeds! It's just that you have awakened me so early and summoned me here, if there is not enough reason, what awaits you will be my most severe punishment! ”

"Your Majesty!" Matsui's body trembled, and he hurriedly explained, "The reason why I woke you up and summoned you to this realm is because I have found a way to resurrect you and return as soon as possible!" ”

"Huh?" A look of excitement flashed on the face of the blood-colored figure, and he asked in a deep voice, "What way?" ”

"That method is the Holy Blood of the Ghost Servant, the Tai Sui Crystal Nucleus and the Soul Nourishing Crystal!"
