Only a month after the First Battle of Yangzhou, the control of Maitreya Sect expanded from Yangzhou Prefecture to Zhenjiang Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture along the canal.

The so-called expansion refers to absolute control, that is, there is no local force that does not obey the orders of Maitreya, all of which are the same as Yangzhou Mansion, the court has the final say during the day, and Maitreya has the final say at night.

As for the influence, of course, it is more than that, north to Huai'an Mansion, south to Suzhou Mansion, west to Yingtian Mansion and Fengyang Mansion, not to mention that every family worships Maitreya Buddha in the people, but it is also eight or nine times out of ten.

After all, in the past, the reputation of Maitreya was very good, although due to the defeat of Jinling, all the peripheral places were controlled by the other two major sects, and they were forbidden to worship Maitreya, but in fact, the people were not convinced.

Once Maitreya regained momentum, faith naturally returned.

In addition, under the leadership of Fan Zhuoyuan, the Maitreya Sect has a mature strategy for economic development, and the areas under its control not only did not disturb the people, but suppressed the powerful and powerful, stimulated the economic development of various industries, and made the local area more prosperous.

Naturally, the people were more sincere in their support, and because the local government was able to collect more taxes and had outstanding political achievements, they naturally turned a blind eye to all kinds of Maitreya Sect and got along happily.

And the Maitreya religion also operated by the way to arrange its own people to take office among the officials of the imperial court, and gradually infiltrated the grassroots rule of the imperial court, if there is a case, such an arrangement can play a great role.

Fan Zhuoyuan will train the new army, control the territory, train the samurai, develop the economy and other things in parallel, and still have the spare strength to go north, repel the forces of the Wenxiang Sect in Huai'an Mansion, and completely control the entire Huai'an Mansion.

In the past six months, in addition to dealing with everything, Fan Zhuoyuan has expanded his power, and the more talents he has to join, he can spare a certain amount of time.

Now, in the Eight Senses of Bliss, he once again destroyed the olfactory system, and used Zhengang to flush his nose to completely destroy the area where olfactory cells are generated, but he did not commit the brutal masochistic act of cutting off his nose.

Prior to this, Fan Zhuoyuan used the method of controlling the muscles to isolate the olfactory cells in the nose, initially adapt, and sometimes let go of the sense of smell.

This state is only suitable for initial adaptation training, but the corresponding mental method in the Eight Realms of Bliss cannot be cultivated.

Only when the sense of smell is completely destroyed can the practice of the mind be officially started.

Now that he has lost his sense of sight and smell, he has lost his senses of taste, hearing, and perception.

After losing his sense of sight and smell, Fan Zhuoyuan practiced the mental method of the Eight Senses of Bliss to strengthen the remaining three senses, and now the other three senses have become more sensitive.

In terms of taste, Fan Zhuoyuan, the old glutton, has the deepest understanding, eating, even coarse tea and light rice can taste the ultimate sweetness, stretching out his tongue to expose the air, and even taste the taste of the wind.

The wind blows through different people and buildings, and the smell is also different.

The warriors smell a lot of sweat, the literati have a lot of ink, the people are dyed with various smells of working in the market and fields, and the dignitaries have different kinds of rich incense.

In this way, as long as you see more widely and distinguish more in life, the more clearly you can judge the environment you are in, how many people are around, and whether you are hostile.

Although the reaction is not as fast and intuitive as what the eye sees, it can sense all kinds of details that cannot be seen by the eye, which is also a strong advantage.

Under the concentration of hearing, I can even hear all kinds of movements in the anthill under my feet through the dirt, and describe the various situations of the ant colony society in my mind, which is indescribable.

If Fan Zhuoyuan wanted to, he could even concentrate his hearing on one side, especially strengthen the hearing in a certain area, and weaken the sound in other directions, so as to obtain more detailed information.

Perception is a variety of tactile perception, sensitive enough to judge the weather changes in the next few days in advance through various changes in temperature, humidity, wind direction, etc., once in Huizhou Mansion, even sensed in advance that an earthquake was about to occur, which surprised a group of subordinates.

In all these things, Fan Zhuoyuan did not lose his sense of hearing and smell, causing him to be slow to react in all aspects, on the contrary, after cultivating the mental method in the Eight Senses of Bliss, he became better than ordinary people.

The first five senses of the Eight Senses of Bliss have all been successfully cultivated, so the mental method has been improved, and the effect is more outstanding, and Fan Zhuoyuan is even more effective now

into their own realization.

With his qi and blood and internal strength level, he is enough to make up for all kinds of deficiencies again, and he has surpassed the most primitive Eight Senses of Bliss in the previous world.

In the past six months, both his own martial arts and the accumulation of all aspects of the sect have reached expectations.

From the task in his hands, only Ying Tianfu Jinling has not been taken.

Ying Tianfu is Nanjing, although it is not as good as Yangzhou economically, but it is the political center of the south, if it can occupy this place, it will definitely be able to affect the officialdom of the central and southern regions.

As an organization aspiring to become the number one sect in the world, Fan Zhuoyuan naturally cannot ignore the influence of the court, he not only wants to whitewash, but also to become a political force in a grand manner and influence the pattern of the world.

At this time, half a year has passed since the big battle in Yangzhou, and all the preparations that should be made have been made, and only the troops are left to enter Yingtianfu and take this area!

However, in the past six months, the intelligence of Ying Tianfu under the investigation made Fan Zhuoyuan hesitate for a while.

Since Yingtianfu is the political center of the south, its security conditions are not comparable to those in places like Yangzhou.

The imperial court has heavy troops here, even if it has not experienced a battle formation for a long time, but the food and salary are sufficient, and there is also equipment and training, and the combat effectiveness is still not to be underestimated.

In the past, when the Maitreya Sect controlled the underground forces of Ying Tianfu, the Wenxiang Sect and the White Lotus Sect did not dare to attack directly, for fear of causing the dissatisfaction of Ying Tianfu and being suppressed by the army.

When dealing with the previous Qian Sect Master, he adopted the strategy of assassination and ambush, using the female cadres to lure him out of the city, and arranged a killing game outside the city, which eliminated the power of the Maitreya Sect in Jinling.

Now that Fan Zhuoyuan wants to take Jinling, it is also very troublesome.

Jinling is now under the control of the White Lotus Sect, and although it was said that the Smelling Fragrance Sect had helped before, the influence of the Smelling Fragrance Sect in the south was difficult to penetrate, and it was gradually expelled by the White Lotus Sect.

This is also the fundamental reason why the two religions have clearly joined forces to deal with Maitreya, but they are full of contradictions.

Even if you only need to deal with the White Lotus Sect, it is not so easy.

There are already many officials in Nanjing who are followers of the White Lotus Sect, and there is support from all sides, Fan Zhuoyuan can't bring people to kill him directly, and the imperial court will not remain neutral like in Yangzhou.

But even if you choose to ambush, it's useless, the person in charge of Jinling is just an altar master of the White Lotus Sect, and you can change it if you die.

Unless he directly kills the White Lotus Sect Leader Fang Kaicheng and puts his power in a vacuum, then he will have a chance to take advantage of the situation.

But this person is hard to find, even if he has martial arts that are proud of the world, there is no room to play.

Therefore, so far, Fan Zhuoyuan has only spread the influence of Maitreya Sect to the surrounding areas of Yingtianfu, such as Fengyang Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Anqing Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, etc., so as to gradually infiltrate Yingtianfu from the grassroots level, change the whale swallowing to encroachment, and transfer the area of struggle to the surrounding area of Yingtianfu.

At this time, Liang Tianyi came to the main altar in a panic and found Fan Zhuoyuan.
