The Great Zhou Empire acted very quickly, as did the other empires, but after the news of the fragments of the immortal book was transmitted, the communication between the empires had already been initiated.

At the same time as they acted, the major factions were also acting secretly, and their actions were much more domineering than those of the great empires, such as directly issuing a warning to the emperors of the great empires, telling them that the alliance of the five nations would not work, and that if they forcibly formed an alliance, it would only lead to a greater war.

Or directly send people to kill the great empires, or even send people to infiltrate the palaces of the great empires to monitor their every move.

The soldiers began to use their own strength to mobilize troops, the merchants began to create economic crises, the Legalists began to shake the important ministers of the court, and the Yin and Yang families and Taoists directly let their national teachers directly interfere in the government and disturb the people's hearts.

In short, no matter which faction it is, they don't want the five empires to unite together.

The power of one empire may not be strong, but if the five empires are united, then the overall strength will surpass that of any faction, which is the last thing that the major factions want to see.

In the past, because there was no absolute interest relationship, the five empires were only appendages of the major factions, especially countries like the Great Zhou Empire and the Great Xia Empire, which were even more dependent on Taoism and Yin and Yang.

Both of them can be said to be representatives of the factions, but after the appearance of the fragments of the fairy book, these empires are desperate to unite together, how can this make the factions bearable.

So when the news spread, it didn't take ten days for the first king to become a victim.

At that time, a prince of the Universiade Empire. He expressed his willingness to marry Zhou Yuexi to form an alliance with the Great Zhou Empire.

This prince is a soldier king, but he is lustful by nature. is especially fond of beautiful women, when he met Zhou Yuexi. Immediately I was deeply attracted by my appearance and weak character.

But on the same night, the people of the Yin and Yang family issued a notice to him, but unfortunately he didn't think so, because the great empires said that they would join forces to protect him.

In fact, the great empires did not give up on him, but this was of no use, the assassination methods of the Yin and Yang family were not weaker than those of other factions, and even they were better at using assassination methods than other factions.

Assassinating one king is still under the protection of several kings, although it sounds almost impossible. But in the end, the Yin and Yang family still did it, and even the people of the Universiade Empire didn't know how he died.

If it weren't for the fact that the prince didn't come out the next day, outsiders wouldn't know that he was dead, because the Yin and Yang family used methods to simulate the breath of the other party, and outsiders wouldn't be able to detect any news at all when they perceived the situation in the house.

But by the time the others noticed that something was wrong, it was too late, for the prince was dead, and there was no trace left at the scene. No one knows how he died, nor who killed him, but it can be inferred that he was killed by the Yin-Yang family based on the threat of the Yin-Yang family.

However......

At this moment, the upper echelons of the Yin and Yang family were also depressed, although they threatened this prince. But due to the relationship between the faction and the empire, he didn't want to kill people directly, but planned to wait and see for a while. But who knew that someone would kill this prince.

But the high-level leaders of the Yin and Yang family, who have always competed more, immediately suspected that someone had secretly given an order. So they were suspicious of each other, and did not really look for the person who killed the prince.

That's it. The relationship between the five empires and the factions has become more serious, and the conflict of this relationship has developed from the death of the prince to the fight of the people below.

In the eyes of ordinary disciples of the Yin-Yang family, since their faction dared to directly kill the other party's prince, it proved that the Yin-Yang family was very strong, and even the empire could not compete with the Yin-Yang family.

Therefore, the disciples of the Yin and Yang family have a higher and higher sense of superiority, at first such disciples were only a few of them, but as time went by, such disciples became bigger and bigger, and even when facing the imperial officials, they gradually showed their arrogant posture.

Such an attitude will inevitably lead to conflicts, small fights, big fights, fighting spirit, fighting courage, in short, when the prince is dead, the world seems to be interfered with by an invisible hand.

Under the intervention of this big hand, in less than a month, there were dozens of times more battles than in the past, and there were fights in basically every city.

First the arrogance of the Yin and Yang family, then the strength of the Taoism, and then the self-respect of the soldiers, the doctors also used their healing effects to win people's hearts, and the merchants began to carefully hoard resources.

All this seems to be very natural, but in fact, there is one person who is secretly relieved at the moment, because she has wasted a lot of effort to bring about this series of things.

For example, assassinating the prince under the protection of many, disguised as a disciple of the Yin and Yang family to bully the children of imperial executives, incarnated as a Taoist disciple to cause conflicts between factions, and finally disguised himself as an imperial executive to arrest faction disciples.

Occasionally, he will do some robber things, and then leave the breath of a soldier.

All of this, it seems that things are not fighting, but in this particular matter, it has caused unspeakable consequences.

"The contradiction has gradually expanded, and the relationship between the five major empires and the major factions can no longer be alleviated, so that the advantages of the empire will expand, after all, the empire has formed an alliance, and it is difficult for the major factions to form an alliance, because they all want to get the fragments of the immortal book. ”

Ying Xiu'er sat on the throne in the Temple of Darkness, analyzing the current situation.

Yes, the person who killed the prince was Ying Xiu'er, as an ancient emperor, or an emperor who grew up from war, his methods are not something that ordinary people can understand.

This is a fighting instinct learned from the years, which simply cannot be possessed without long years.

"Everything is in the plan, but the speed at which those people are looking for the fragments of the immortal book is beyond my expectations, and it seems that some plans should be made. After thinking of this, Ying Xiu'er waved at the void, and then a black shadow walked out of it.

This black shadow has a powerful aura, and if outsiders are present, they will find that he is actually a king.

Ying Xiu'er turned out to be not only laying out everywhere during this time, but also recovering many of his subordinates, and even one of the king's subordinates, which is a very strange thing.

"Master, the recent high-level of the medical family has recently contacted the people of the Taoist and military families, and I think they are planning to form an alliance with these two factions. ”

As soon as the servant came out, he told him information that was difficult for outsiders to know. (To be continued.) )
