Autumn Water Sword Sect!
If the powers in this world were viewed as countries, then the Autumn Water Sword Sect was the absolute vassal state of the Northwest Qin City.
In other words, the Autumn Water Sword Sect could be said to be the satellite sect of the Northwest Qin City.
The relationship between the two sides could be said to be close for generations.
The wives of the Northwest Qin City Lord all came from the Autumn Water Sword Sect.
Everyone knew that although Qin Wanchou and the previous Northwest Qin City Lord were father and son, their relationship was extremely bad and even like enemies.
Therefore, in the beginning, he didn't have the right to inherit the Northwest Qin City Lord position, so he didn't have the right to marry a woman from the Autumn Water Sword Sect.
In the end, Qin Wanchou became ruthless and killed his father and elder brother. Then, he became the lord of the Northwest Qin City. Moreover, he became the most outstanding lord of his generation in the past few hundred years. He expanded the territory and sphere of influence of the Northwest Qin City by many times.
After he succeeded in becoming the City Lord, his first wife suddenly passed away.
Therefore, the Autumn Water Sword Sect's Qiu Ruohan became his new wife and Qin Huaiyu and Qin Jiaojiao's mother.
Why was the Autumn Water Sword Sect so important?
The reason was very simple. Autumn Water Island was currently the world's largest mining area.
The extremely precious magnetic crystals, the even more precious purple crystal ore, the rare image jade, the even rarer yin-yang crystals, all kinds of energy crystals, and so on. Countless minerals were stored on Autumn Water Island at an astronomical figure.
As for gold, it had already become the most worthless mineral on Autumn Water Island.
What was the use of the magnetic crystals?
It wasn't just used to build the mystic qi condensation and purification array. More importantly, it was used to supply the rich and powerful disciples to increase the amount of mystic qi they devoured during cultivation.
To put it bluntly, with the magnetic crystals, one's cultivation speed was three to four times that of ordinary people.
Therefore, the demand for the magnetic crystals was extremely high and was completely a strategic material in the chaotic world.
How much was it sold for?
A few million gold coins. Yes, you didn't hear wrongly. A few million gold coins.
However, what was the actual cost?
The total cost of excavating and manufacturing a piece of magnetic crystal for the Autumn Water Sword Sect was about 200 gold coins.
That's right, 200 gold coins.
Then, he sold it to the Northwest Qin City for 50,000 gold coins.
Then, the Northwest Qin City sold it to the world for a few million gold coins.
In the Earth era, a few hundred percent was already an extremely huge profit.
And the profit of a single piece of magnetic crystal was tens of thousands of times the cost!
If you think it's expensive, you don't have to buy it.
But I'm sorry, I'm the only one selling it in the entire world. I have absolute monopoly.
This was because only Autumn Water Island had a large amount of mineral reserves.
In Qin City, the number of Magnetic Crystals sold every year was only several tens of thousands.
Every time, he would tell the whole world that there were not many magnetic crystals left and that they could be mined for less than ten years.
Of course, what was the actual situation?
The actual situation was that, at this rate, they wouldn't be able to finish mining even in a few hundred years.
If he was willing, he could sell the Magnetic Crystal at a cheap price.
However, under the extreme monopoly, its price soared from a cabbage to a sky-high price.
Of course, why would the world tolerate the absolute monopoly of the Northwest Qin City?
Every year, he would donate tens of thousands of pieces to the Yin-Yang school and the Black Heaven Sect.
If these two bosses didn't say anything, the Northwest Qin City wouldn't be afraid of anyone.
A single Magnetic Crystal was enough to make Qin City rich.
However, this wasn't Qin City's biggest asset.
What was Purple Crystal Ore?
That's right, Purple Crystal Coins, a currency that could be used to spend money. Its value was many times that of gold coins.
This ore was also produced from Autumn Water Island.
That meant that as long as the Northwest Qin City was willing, they could issue an astronomical amount of money.
Of course, he wasn't so stupid as to do that.
In fact, after he dug out the Purple Crystal Ore, he made a complete Purple Crystal Jade Slip and sent it to the Tiandō League headquarters to let the Tiandō League think that the currency would be issued.
Of course, as the only supplier of the Purple Crystal Ore.
In this so-called Tiandō League's central bank, he had no less shares than the Black Heaven Sect and the Yin-Yang school.
Then, there was no need to talk about anything else.
Now, he could clearly understand why the Northwest Qin City was rich and unparalleled in the world.
Of course, another problem appeared.
Since Autumn Water Island was so important, why didn't Qin City directly destroy the Autumn Water Sword Sect and directly control Autumn Water Island?
Why did everything have to go through the Autumn Water Sword Sect's exploitation?
The reason was very simple. Letting the Northwest Qin City monopolize the sale of these strategic materials was already the limit of the Black Heaven Sect and the Yin-Yang school's tolerance.
Once the Northwest Qin City destroyed the Autumn Water Sword Sect and directly controlled Autumn Water Island, it would directly cross the bottom line of the two sects, and the two sects would directly take action.
Therefore, the Northwest Qin City had no choice but to rope in and control the Autumn Water Sword Sect to the extreme.
Therefore, the relationship between the two sects became closer and closer.
In fact, every time Qiu Qingchuan came to the Northwest Qin City, she could directly be half a master.
Moreover, every time something big happened in the Northwest Qin City.
Sometimes, the master of the Autumn Water Sword Sect didn't come to Qin City to attend. She directly sent her son or a representative.
From this, it could be seen how arrogant the Autumn Water Sword Sect was.
How important it was to Qin City.
…
Recently, Qin Wanchou had a huge problem!
All along, there had been a Sword of Damos hanging above his head.
That was, he had to completely choose a side between the Tiandō League and the Evil ways.
His attitude had always been to sit on the fence.
Putting Qin Qiqi in an important position and even making her the successor of Qin City was to show that he was going to rely on the Evil ways.
Then, he married Qin Jiaojiao to Yang Dingtian as a concubine and let Qin Huaiyu and Yang Dingtian join. This was to bet on the Tiandō League.
Just as he said, as a grandmaster, and as the richest and most powerful overlord in the world.
Even when facing Li Ming, he had an aloof attitude.
Therefore, he could sit on the fence safely and didn't have to make a thorough choice.
Therefore, the evil Prince Li Ming had no special methods to deal with him.
After all, the only military force Li Ming had in his hands was the South Sea Ning Clan.
The World Extermination Army hadn't arrived yet, and the most important thing to him now was the resurrection of The Demon King Wentian.
Therefore, he decided on a conspiracy, or rather a strategy, to resurrect The Demon King Wentian!
The key to this was Yang Dingtian!
Then, he was halfway to success!
Without a choice, Yang Dingtian finally used Wentian's tear crystal and successfully gave it to the Evil ways' greatest enemy and the most important person to resurrect Wentian, Nihility Piao Ling, followed by Dongfang Bingling's demonization.
The success of this plan instantly allowed the evil Prince Li Ming to seize the absolute initiative.
Li Ming had been traveling the world for a period of time.
Of course, people like Yang Dingtian didn't know of his existence, but people like Qin Wanchou had never stopped coming into contact with Li Ming.
To be honest, Li Ming had a difficult time operating before!
Alone, the South Sea Ning Clan's martial power couldn't be fully used.
He could only rely on himself to wander the world's forces and lobby.
In short, he was basically in a state of hitting a wall.
Everywhere he went, he was treated as a distinguished guest, but when it came to specific matters, he was directly ignored.
But ever since Nihility Piao Ling's demonization, The Demon King Wentian's resurrection was equivalent to half completed.
Although, almost no one saw the scene that happened in the Yin Yang Mirror.
It didn't cause any waves on the surface.
In fact, the impact on the world's situation was subversive.
In an instant, it could be said to have directly changed the world's situation.
Li Ming's status instantly rose infinitely.
He became a master who could decide the fate of countless important figures.
Therefore, countless important figures sold themselves to him. The Autumn Water Sword Sect was one of them. They directly made their young master, Qiu Qingchuan, take Ning Wuming as her master and become his sword slave!
Why was it Ning Wuming's sword slave and not Li Ming's?
The reason was very simple. Li Ming's identity was still a top secret in the chaotic world and would definitely not be made public.
Ning Wuming of the South Sea Ning Clan was his representative.
Therefore, Qin Qiqi directly married Ning Wuming without any warning.
Li Ming's identity should be equal to the young master of the Hidden Sect. Not to mention the Autumn Water Sword Sect, even the Northwest Qin City was a little out of reach.
Even if Li Ming wanted to take in a sword slave, Xuantian Sect's Zhu Hongxue and Yin-Yang school's Leng Ao were barely qualified.
After the Yin Yang Mirror incident, Nihility Piao Ling and Dongfang Bingling's demonization.
The direct result was a direct change in Qin Wanchou's attitude.
Sky Phoenix Pavilion's Duan Ruyan was his most beloved woman.
Previously, Qin Qiqi crazily attacked Sky Phoenix Pavilion for no reason.
Because of Qin Wanchou's attitude, Qin Wanchou couldn't sit by and watch his beloved woman die.
However, after the Yin Yang Mirror incident.
Qin Wanchou directly changed his attitude and tacitly allowed the South Sea Ning Clan's evil army to enter the western world. He also transferred the grandmaster puppet beside him to Qin Qiqi.
As a result, Sky Phoenix Pavilion's army was completely wiped out. Duan Ruyan was captured and her fate was unknown. Leng Yanmei took charge of Sky Phoenix Pavilion and the Northwest Tiandō League.
It also directly led to the crime of Yang Dingtian killing Dongfang Bingling, which led to the Tiandō League's sanctions and crusades against Yang Dingtian and Cloud Sky City.
Everything that had happened was because of one thing.
That was the Yin Yang Mirror incident!
After the Yin Yang Mirror incident, the situation was a secret to the entire world.
However, to the important figures, the situation was very, very clear.
That was, Li Ming versus Yang Dingtian!
The young master of the Temple of Annihilation versus the young master of the Hidden Sect, Yang Dingtian!
It could be said that even a blind person could tell who would win and who would lose.
Therefore, even a blind person could tell which side to choose.
Who was on Li Ming's side? High-level grandmaster Li Ming, Half-sage Nihility Piao Ling, Half-sage The Demon King Wentian who was about to be resurrected, and demonized Dongfang Bingling who was rapidly becoming a grandmaster.
There were also grandmasters like the Temple of Blood and the Joyous Palace.
Not to mention the tens of millions of Legion of Doom hanging above the Chaotic World like the Sword of Damos.
Just in the competition between the experts.
On Li Ming's side, there were five grandmasters and two Half-sages!
On Yang Dingtian's side, uh … there were only a few grandmasters and a mysterious and unreliable grandmaster.
This kind of disparity wasn't a battle, but a tease.
Therefore, even a blind person knew which side to choose.
Therefore, when Qin Wanchou tilted the scales, the Sky Phoenix Pavilion was destroyed. The Southwest Continent that Qin Qiqi had been fighting for months completely fell in a few days.
Moreover, in order to show his contempt for Yang Dingtian, Li Ming didn't even make a move.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian's most direct opponent was Ning Wuming from the South Sea's Ning Clan.
Of course, Yang Dingtian, who was in a desperate situation, still managed to display a shocking ability.
He actually obtained the loyalty of Qin Huaiyu, Vulture, and Song Chunhua.
In the end, he even obtained Zhu Hongxue's trust.
Instantly, he became stronger in terms of momentum.
In the end, he even obtained the thousands of Devil Dragon Legion from the World Society.
Of course, all of this couldn't change anything for someone as important as Qin Wanchou. It couldn't change the extreme disparity in strength.
In his eyes, Yang Dingtian was still a mantis trying to stop a chariot, an ant with the strength of an ant.
Therefore, he led 20,000 cavalry to intercept Yang Dingtian on his way back. He only had one goal, which was to get back his son, Qin Huaiyu, and the most important chess piece in the future, Dugu Aoshuang.
However, he didn't expect that both things would fail.
Yang Dingtian was so cunning that he instantly saw through the fact that he was spying on Dugu Aoshuang.
And Qin Huaiyu was even more unexpected. He didn't care about his life, as if he was brainwashed, and stood on Yang Dingtian's side, the side that was destined to lose.
Of course, Qin Wanchou was currently facing an even bigger problem.
That was, he might lose the Autumn Water Sword Sect!
The Autumn Water Sword Sect's mines were the absolute wealth of the Northwest Qin City, the foundation of the Northwest Qin City.
It could be said that after losing the Autumn Water Sword Sect, the Northwest Qin City would collapse.
,
As if to punish Qin Wanchou for his arrogance, Ning Wuming and the Autumn Water Sword Sect had been getting closer and closer.
Various signs showed that Ning Wuming, or rather Li Ming, had already touched the Autumn Water Island, the astronomical wealth, the astronomical strategic mines.
It was because of this that the Autumn Water Sword Sect had become more and more arrogant in front of Qin Wanchou.
Before this, unless it was the Northwest Qin City's summons, the Autumn Water Sword Sect's army couldn't enter the Northwest Mainland.
However, this time, there was almost no request. Qiu Qingchuan led 20,000 troops and swaggered into the Northwest Mainland. It was only after they had landed that they reported to Qin Wanchou.
This was a huge provocation to Qin Wanchou.
However, Qin Wanchou endured it!
He allowed Qiu Qingchuan to lead 20,000 troops to Heaven Wave City to block Yang Dingtian's escape route.
Of course, no one would have thought that Qiu Qingchuan's 20,000 troops, even relying on Heaven Wave City, would still be completely wiped out by Yang Dingtian's 10,000 Devil Dragon Cavalry. Moreover, the other party didn't suffer any casualties.
Seeing this scene, Qin Wanchou was shocked, but his heart was incomparably delighted.
However, the moment Qin Huaiyu killed Qiu Qingchuan with his own hands, he was shocked and knew that things weren't going well.
As expected, when Qin Wanchou used his fastest speed to return to Qin City, the speed of the letter bird was even faster than him.
The Autumn Water Sword Sect directly withdrew all their organizations in Qin City.
Qiu Ruohan directly moved out of the palace in Qin City, indicating that she was living separately from Qin Wanchou.
Moreover, what angered Qin Wanchou the most was that the Autumn Water Sword Sect, or rather, Qiu Ruohan, directly sent experts to kill dozens of experts in Qin City and snatch Qin Mengli away.
Previously, Qin Mengli had been desperately transferring all her materials and wealth to Cloud Sky City through various channels.
Because of Leng Qingchen's warning, Qin Wanchou turned a blind eye to it.
After the Yin Yang Mirror incident, Qin Wanchou directly put Qin Mengli under house arrest.
However, Qiu Ruohan sent experts to join forces with the Autumn Water Sword Sect to break into Qin Mengli's manor and snatch Qin Mengli away.
Then, the Autumn Water Sword Sect directly left a letter.
It meant that Qin Mengli was willing to marry the Autumn Water Sword Sect's leader, Qiu Fengwu, as a concubine and give all the assets in West Province City as her dowry!
Qin Wanchou was furious!
Qiu Fengwu actually snatched away his most beloved sister and wanted to forcefully marry her as a concubine. Moreover, he wanted to snatch away all of Qin Mengli's assets.
Of course, Qin Mengli's assets didn't belong to her. They belonged to Northwest Qin City and to Qin Wanchou. He just handed them over to Qin Mengli to manage.
The amount of wealth was an astronomical figure.
Countless auctions, countless chambers of commerce, countless vaults, and countless gold accounts.
Qiu Fengwu actually wanted to snatch them all away.
Of course, he couldn't take them all. He wanted to give them all to Ning Wuming!
He wanted to dig out Qin City's roots. He wanted to dig out Qin Wanchou's roots.
Originally, Qiu Fengwu was still a little hesitant.
However, when his son, Qiu Qingchuan, died under Qin Huaiyu's sword, he completely went crazy and was completely enraged. He directly used the most violent method to completely break off relations with Qin City!
Therefore, in an instant, he almost gave the order to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops from Qin City to directly annihilate the Autumn Water Sword Sect and take control of the Autumn Water Island.
However, he quickly gave up on this idea.
Times were different. If he did this, it would mean completely breaking off relations with the Evil ways, Li Ming. He couldn't afford to pay such a price.
That night, Qin Wanchou met with the messenger sent by Ning Wuming.
The messenger stated the conditions.
Qin Mengli had to marry Qiu Fengwu because only then could Qin Wanchou's attitude towards breaking off relations with Yang Dingtian.
Of all of Qin Mengli's assets, 30% would be used as dowry and would belong to the Autumn Water Sword Sect. Of course, it would belong to the Evil ways.
From then on, 60% of the assets on the Autumn Water Island would belong to Qin City and 40% would belong to the Autumn Water Sword Sect.
Qin Wanchou didn't hesitate for long and agreed immediately.
However, after the messenger left, he was extremely furious and smashed everything in the room.
Just like that, Qin Mengli and Qiu Fengwu's wedding was set. It would be held on the fourth day after Qin Wanchou signed the agreement.
Qin Wanchou announced that Qin Mengli and Qin City's military advisor, Shen Lang, would officially divorce and marry the Autumn Water Sword Sect's leader, Qiu Fengwu as a concubine. Furthermore, Qin City would send a representative to attend Qin Mengli and Qiu Fengwu's wedding!
Instantly, the feud between Qin City and the Autumn Water Sword Sect came to an end temporarily!
…
However, on the third night after Ning Wuming's messenger left.
Qin City welcomed another mysterious guest.
In other words, the famous courtesan, the former Madam of Qin City, Yang Shishi's room welcomed a mysterious guest!
This guest was, of course, Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian in disguise.
Originally, Yang Dingtian's group of five flew directly to the Autumn Water Island and planned to annihilate the Autumn Water Sword Sect without anyone knowing.
However, after the news of Qin Mengli and Qiu Fengwu's wedding spread, Yang Dingtian realized that he had to change.
He couldn't annihilate the Autumn Water Sword Sect without anyone knowing because the Autumn Water Island was destined to be filled with experts.
This was a danger!
Of course, danger also meant crisis.
Yang Dingtian saw a crack between Qin City and the Evil ways. Therefore, he had to completely tear this crack apart!
He discovered a huge opportunity. If he succeeded, not only could he annihilate the Autumn Water Sword Sect, but he could also greatly improve Cloud Sky City's passive situation.
Therefore, he disguised himself and entered Qin City. In Yang Shishi's room, he sent a private invitation to Qin Wanchou.
Of course, this was a risk, a huge risk.
If Qin Wanchou stood firmly with the Evil ways, it would cause Yang Dingtian's plan to be exposed.
However, Yang Dingtian believed in Qin Wanchou's wisdom and scheming, so he took this risk!
Just as Yang Dingtian drank his third cup of tea, Qin Wanchou appeared. He had also disguised himself.
Yang Shishi, who had a mental breakdown, was still intoxicated in her singing and dancing. She didn't notice that there were two people in the room. One was Yang Dingtian, and the other was her ex-husband.
The moment Qin Wanchou entered the room, his gaze became incomparably complicated.
He sent Yang Shishi to the brothel as a punishment, but in the end, she was incomparably enjoying herself and was incomparably happy.
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to a punisher.
After letting Yang Shishi leave, Yang Dingtian's first sentence was to ask, "Meng Li, are you okay?"
"She's fine for now. Qiu Fengwu isn't on the Autumn Water Island. He's going around inviting guests and will only return on the day of the wedding.
He's a pervert. Once the wedding is successful, Meng Li's innocence will definitely be lost, "Qin Wanchou said.
"Mm, then let's cooperate." Yang Dingtian said, "You don't have to do anything. Just help me with two things.
I'll help you kill Qiu Fengwu and annihilate the Autumn Water Sword Sect! "
"Including Qiu Ruohan?" Qin Wanchou asked.
Yang Dingtian's eyes narrowed and said, "If you're willing!"
Note: The first update has been delivered. There's no doubt that there will be a second update!
