Chapter 1367: Chapter 671: Unifying Shuzhou! (Part 3)
As Zhu Huai hesitated over the best posture to kneel, Chen Yuan suddenly spoke, not hesitating in the slightest, and quickly bowed deeply:
“I am willing to serve you, my lord!”
“Prohibition?”
“Please, my lord, impose the prohibition. However, I am currently comprehending the path of the Yang God. If prohibited, it might pose so hindrance.”
“Then make a Heart Demon Blood Oath. Although it won’t take your life, you must be clear on one thing: if you betray , no matter how big the world is, there will never be a place for you!”
Chen Yuan waved his hand.
“Thank you, my lord!”
Zhu Huai sighed in relief, for he was not deceiving Chen Yuan. The current situation was indeed like that; once prohibited, his Primordial Spirit would be hindered, unable to pass the Heavenly Tribulation of the Yang God.
“In the future, you will assist Shangguan Tiehong in managing Shu Central for .”
“Don’t worry, my lord, Zhu Huai will not fail you!”
…
…
At this point, Chen Yuan had essentially unified the entire Shuzhou. Shuxi had the Shuxi Alliance, Shu Central had the Shu Central Alliance, and the eastern Shu lands had Shushan’s pressure; now, it was divided into three parts.
But as long as Chen Yuan issued an order, he could mobilize the power of the entire Shuzhou.
At this level, he was already not weaker than King of Beiliang, Wei Jinfeng, and Prince Zhen Nan, Nangong Lie. Even if he claid the title of king, it would be more than adequate.
With years of accumulation exploding overnight, Chen Yuan now finally had the qualifications to contend for supremacy over the world!
It is worth ntioning that on the governnt side of Shuzhou, Chen Yuan had given full authority to Lu Renyi, who cleaned up the entire bureaucratic arena in a very short ti.
Those who submit to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau will live; those who do not, will die.
The governnt side was also almost completely controlled, putting his own people in place.
The military was the sa.
The smooth success was inseparable from the court’s policy of withdrawing from the south. Insightful people knew that the world was about to fall into chaos, so they naturally needed to find a strong backing.
Though Chen Yuan was not very strong in the open, he was by no ans weak and was worth following.
Counting the two Blood State prefectures and the three Qingzhou prefectures, saying Chen Yuan owned the territory of one and a half states was not an exaggeration. Currently, almost all preparations were complete.
Waiting silently for the world to fall into chaos!
Chen Yuan was still at ease handing over Shu Central to Shangguan Tiehong. With Shangguan Hong as the connecting tie, plus Zhu Huai overseeing, he believed this ‘cheap father-in-law’ to be more in tune with the situation.
Of course, even if he did rebel, Chen Yuan would not fear him in the slightest now.
The greater montum was in his favor, the advantage was on his side; even if sothing unexpected happened, he could suppress it at any ti.
Currently, the only shortcoming was Chen Yuan’s innate strength.
Although his cultivation speed was already very fast, even astonishing, he was still one step short. He felt capable of matching anyone on the Supre Heaven List’s top twenty except Zhao Danqing.
But compared to the top ten absolute True Monarchs, he was still a step behind.
This gap was a chasm!
It was also a hurdle that must be crossed.
And it must be crossed before the world descends into chaos.
Only by standing at the forefront of Jianghu could he openly face anyone, the court, Jianghu, the Northern Barbarians, Spirit Mountain, and the demon beasts from the south.
These enemies were like a towering mountain pressing on his spine, constantly attempting to overthrow him.
Unfortunately, life is not a novel; an overthrow is not just a matter of talk. He must possess power!
Hence, he recuperated his injuries in Shushan, not even caring about Tangshan; hence, he suppressed all the Jianghu forces in Shu Central with overwhelming might.
All just to go to Soul-breaking Valley and seize opportunities.
With various parties being restrained and controlled by others, this gave him a rare good opportunity.
Therefore, after suppressing all forces in Shu Central, Chen Yuan did not accept the invitations from Shangguan Tiehong and Liu Zhenzong, nor did he bother investigating how many resources he could ‘accumulate.’
He promptly left the Shangguan Clan that very day.
Of course, to prevent any unforeseen events during this ti, he contacted Jiang He and Su Ziyue, notifying them that he felt sothing in his heart and would temporarily enter seclusion for a period of ti.
Perhaps a few days, perhaps half a month.
But it would not exceed a month. During this ti, if there was no major matter, it was best not to disturb him, unless absolutely necessary.
Su Ziyue and Jiang He were also sensible people, knowing the importance of things, and told Chen Yuan to focus on his cultivation.
They could handle other affairs.
In Shuxi and places like Tangshan Blood State, Jiang He would personally oversee; if any danger arose, he would imdiately seek aid from Shushan. As long as Immortals or Demon Gods did not invade.
The sky would not fall!
With the promises of the two, Chen Yuan was completely at ease and headed towards Soul-breaking Valley in Shu Central without hesitation, intending to further advance his strength there!
Regarding Soul-breaking Valley in Shu Central, Chen Yuan was fairly unfamiliar at first, and had no ti to focus on such matters. But once the opportunity revealed itself.
He learned everything about Soul-breaking Valley from Shushan.
A once-evil sect resided there, infamous for Soul Extraction and Refining, untouchable by the governnt until it mysteriously vanished, leaving the place desolate.
However, due to previous rumors, it was deed a place of misfortune, seldom visited.
To this day, it’s still vaguely referred to as a forbidden place.
And according to the prophecy from the Qi Fortune Altar, it was evident that his opportunity this ti was related to darkness and evil.
“Golden River of Shu Central Soul-breaking Valley, sinister wind and evil soul weep from heaven. To the utmost Yin and evil Blood Soul Wood, withstand fire and wind tribulations firm Primordial Spirit!”
This was the prophecy, which Chen Yuan had always rembered.
Of course, Chen Yuan would not care about any evil artifacts; as long as it could advance his cultivation, it was a good thing, a great opportunity!
The distance between the Shangguan Clan in the Qianyang Mountain Range and Soul-breaking Valley was not short, but at Chen Yuan’s speed, it was not far either; in less than half a day, he arrived outside Soul-breaking Valley.
And indeed, as recorded, the surrounding hundred miles were desolate, devoid of people.
