Capítulo 1280: Chapter 642: Ruling Half a Province Alone! (Part 2)
But the Three Extres Sect is different.
Currently, it is at its peak; Sect Leader Dong Lifang is expected to beco a True Monarch, and Supre Elder Zhao Yuantong is already on the Supre Heaven List, ranking among the top in Shuzhou.
The annihilation of such a top-level force is definitely big news.
And the bigger news is yet to co: the people who destroyed the Three Extres Sect turned out to be from the previously extrely mysterious Taoist Divine Palace, with the Heavenly Sword True Monarch of the Taoist Divine Palace and the Loose Cultivator known as the Evil Ghost Elder, who has revealed his true identity, taking action.
They declared that many of those killed by the Three Extres Sect before were actually people of the Taoist Divine Palace, and the destruction of the Three Extres Sect was rely settling old scores.
As for Sect Leader Dong Lifang, he was killed at the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, along with Qin Zhan, the Mountain Master of Myriad Sword Mountain.
It is rumored in Jianghu that the Shuxi Alliance had gathered nurous forces believing themselves strong, attempting to pressure Chen Yuan to bow to them and give up the territory previously belonging to the Qianren Sect.
In result, after being insulted, Chen Yuan, who was initially being ‘politely treated’, couldn’t bear it any longer and decisively killed Dong Lifang, and subsequently, Qin Zhan and Huang Tianshu joined forces to fight Chen Yuan.
After a bitter battle, Chen Yuan was seriously injured but still managed to kill Qin Zhan. Later, Huang Tianshu, unwilling to engage in a fight to the death, agreed with Chen Yuan to mutually refrain from invasion, with the Jianghu and Governnt remaining separate domains.
Huang Tianshu also seized this opportunity to completely take over the Shuxi Alliance, becoming exceedingly dominant for a ti.
However, the credibility of this rumor is unknown; so conspiracy theorists even believe the information is false, suggesting that Chen Yuan actually subdued Huang Tianshu, Qin Zhan, and Dong Lifang.
Not wanting unrest in Shuxi, potentially causing unforeseen situations, he spared Huang Tianshu’s life, albeit at a great cost to himself.
Compared to the forr rumor, it’s evident that this rumor seems more credible.
So even found it suspiciously coincidental that the Three Extres Sect was destroyed, and imdiately after, Chen Yuan dared to act, possibly having so connection with the Taoist Divine Palace, but this conjecture was forcibly suppressed.
After a double crackdown by the Governnt and the authorities, it disappeared without a trace.
This Jianghu unrest has affected not only Myriad Sword Mountain but also the remaining mbers of the Three Extres Sect, as well as many first-rate and ordinary forces.
Due to the deaths or injuries of the powerful figures in Shuxi, besides two top-level forces, there are no other True Masters left in Shuxi Jianghu, resulting in the rapid expansion of the Shuxi Alliance.
All those who do not submit are exterminated, while those who submit are shackled and required to hand over half of their wealth, causing an uproar in Shuxi Jianghu, yet they remain powerless against it.
The two top-level forces had previously joined the Shuxi Alliance, but after the fall of Qin Zhan and Dong Lifang’s Three Extres Sect, they began to entertain other thoughts, feeling that Huang Tianshu was unfit to be the Alliance Hierarch.
Before they could act, they were ‘suppressed’ by Huang Tianshu and eventually submitted to the Shuxi Alliance under pressure, further strengthening it.
Huang Tianshu obviously couldn’t achieve such ease on his own; there was actually assistance from Yang Huatian behind the scenes, and the two True Monarchs had their Primordial Spirits restricted by prohibition, leaving them no choice but to comply.
Chen Yuan maintained stability on the surface, even warning the Shuxi Alliance not to incite conflicts in Jianghu, or the Governnt would intervene, yet behind the scenes, he profited greatly.
The strategy of Jianghu people ruling Jianghu proved very effective, and despite so chaos, the discrepancy in power allowed for suppression by two factions.
Thus, Chen Yuan ca to entirely control all seven prefectures of Shuxi, with his influence surging!
Counting the three prefectures of Qingzhou and the two prefectures of Blood State, his domain now spans eleven prefectures, rivaling more than half of Qingzhou, and forming a continuous territory.
In the context of the ancient Warring States, he would have the legitimacy to claim kingship or emperorship!
As for his current force, if fully accounted for, there is one Demi Immortal; considering the three True Monarch battle powers, naly Jiang He and his uncle Chen Huaiyi, and eight Primordial Spirit Refining God True Masters, including Su Ziyue, Yang Huatian, Li Suqing, Chu Changfeng, the Su Family Ancestor, Huang Tianshu, along with two newly-submitted True Masters.
From this perspective, the power gathered around Chen Yuan is already exceedingly formidable, capable of rivaling the level of the Immortal Sect, and sufficient to initially establish strength for self-preservation.
Even if he were to contend for dominion over the world now, he would be considered a significant hero!
Additionally, his power continues to swell; Qingzhou’s contributions are limited, given Jiang He’s shared control, and the geography of Qingzhou makes reckless territorial expansion unwise.
However, in Shuzhou, it’s different. He completely controls Shuxi now, and with the digestion underway, he has internal agents from the Shangguan Clan and the Liu family in Shu Central’s prefectures.
Furthermore, with no True Monarchs present and only four top-level forces, it is already within Chen Yuan’s grasp, ready to be claid at any mont.
His restraint is partly due to Shuxi undergoing transformation, absorbing its essence, and partly because he doesn’t want to stand out too conspicuously yet.
As long as Shushan doesn’t ddle, Shu Central’s prefectures are as good as his!
With nurous captives and forces from the seven prefectures of Shuxi, the elite Iron Cavalry within the Tangshan Mountain Range is expanding wildly under abundant resources, swelling to seventy thousand strong in a short ti, with continuous reinforcents pouring in.
The resources consud by such a massive military force are trendously significant, but sweeping through the essence of the seven prefectures, Chen Yuan has amassed vast resources.
