After Zhu Qingzhu's defeat in the naval battle, his reputation had almost been completely ruined. Thus, when he returned to Central State, he immediately chose to go into seclusion and shut himself in his pavilion. No matter how the outside world battered him, he would not come out.
Why? It was to let everything calm down first. It was to prevent the situation from becoming even more complicated. It was to prevent the world from attacking him from all sides.
So, what was he thinking during the time he was locked up?
Taking revenge on Yang Dingtian?
No, definitely not.
Even though he wanted nothing more than to tear Yang Dingtian into pieces, he was only thinking of one thing. That was to regain control of Central State and regain his supreme authority in Central State.
What should he do?
If soft methods did not work, he couldn't possibly bribe them one by one, right?
Now that Zhu Qingzhu's reputation had been completely ruined, he could not bend his back.
Once he bent his back to the leader of a faction in Central State, he would never be able to straighten his back again.
Moreover, power obtained through bribery was not reliable at all. Moreover, the leader of the faction in Central State had already been scared witless by Yang Dingtian. He might not even be able to bribe them.
Using force would not work either. He could not use force to attack the various factions in Central State.
First of all, Yang Dingtian was eyeing the western region covetously. Once Zhu Qingzhu made a move against the factions in Central State, it was guaranteed that the next day, these factions would all submit to Yang Dingtian in order to protect themselves. Then, Yang Dingtian would smoothly intervene in Central State.
Of course, there was another method. That was to support a terrifying faction and launch a destructive attack on Central State.
Then, Zhu Qingzhu would appear in the name of a savior and lead Central State to destroy this terrifying faction.
Then, during this process, those who opposed him would become the terrifying faction.
As for who would act as the terrifying faction, of course, it would be Evil ways!
However, there were two things that had to be taken note of.
First, it could not be too sudden. If it was too sudden, others would see through it. It would be best to create the false impression that Zhu Qingzhu had no choice but to turn the tide and save everyone.
Second, it had to be righteous and stop Yang Dingtian from speaking. It would prevent Yang Dingtian from interfering in Central State's affairs.
Zhu Qingzhu waited for a long time, but could not find a good opportunity.
Then, the opportunity finally appeared.
Yang Dingtian's punishment of the Cloud Sky Pavilion was endless.
What was a real strategist? He could find an opportunity to break through a situation from a trivial matter.
Zhu Qingzhu found an opportunity in the conflict between the Cloud Sky Pavilion and the West Continent.
Of course, he was afraid that Yang Dingtian was putting on an act and setting up a trap. Therefore, even though he had found an opportunity, he still did not dare to act rashly.
Later on, the conflict between the Cloud Sky Pavilion and Yang Dingtian intensified.
In the end, it caused Yang Dingtian to destroy Nanying City's pier.
The Cloud Sky Pavilion had launched a sneak attack on the Southwest Continent, resulting in countless casualties.
After that, Yang Dingtian even launched a sneak attack on the Cloud Sky Pavilion's headquarters, destroying the Cloud Sky Pavilion that had existed for hundreds of years. After that, the Cloud Sky Pavilion even crazily attacked Fire Island in a suicidal manner.
Zhu Qingzhu knew that these two families would not rest until one of them was dead. It was definitely not an act.
Later on, the relationship between the Earth Vulture City and the Western Continent's Yang Dingtian fell out. The Black Vulture Army of the Vulture Sect left the Southern Barbarian Continent and promised to protect the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Instantly, the entire situation became incomparably complicated!
It was only at this point that Zhu Qingzhu clearly felt that his opportunity had come.
Therefore, he sent Zhu Hongyu to the Western Continent secretly to negotiate a truce with Yang Dingtian.
The truce this time was merely a probing contact. There was an ulterior motive behind it.
Zhu Qingzhu did not care about the truce with Yang Dingtian at all.
As expected, Yang Dingtian proposed a condition. He wanted Zhu Qingzhu to break off his relationship with the Evil ways and offer Ning Wuming's head as proof of his allegiance.
This was within Zhu Qingzhu's expectations.
This was because Yang Dingtian only knew how to do this. He wanted Qiu Wanjie to kill Zhu Hongli as proof of his allegiance.
He wanted Qin Wanchou to kill Zhu Qingzhu's concubine as proof of his allegiance.
Now, he wanted Zhu Qingzhu to kill Ning Wuming as proof of his allegiance.
Zhu Hongyu naturally refused. However, after leaving the Western Continent, he cursed Yang Dingtian in his heart for being an idiot.
Then, Zhu Qingzhu saw that Yang Dingtian was still as childish as before. He had fallen into the trap.
After Zhu Qingzhu received a reply, he immediately left the Black Heaven Sect and secretly visited Wu Youming!
Even Zhu Hongyu did not know about this.
Only Wu Youming and Zhu Qingzhu knew.
The two of them talked for an hour.
Then, Wu Youming came to the Western Continent and tried to mediate the conflict between the Cloud Sky Pavilion and the Western Continent. Of course, this was just in passing.
More importantly, Wu Youming brought his wife, Vulture, back to the Sea of Hades to visit his mother, Wu Yu.
Then, Zhu Qingzhu returned. His attitude was very righteous. He still mediated between Yang Dingtian and the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Moreover, his attitude was even more touching. He directly said that if Yang Dingtian had any problems, he could come at him directly. He did not want to touch the Cloud Sky Pavilion or anyone in the Middle Continent.
Instantly, his words won many people's favor. Finally, no one booed his first appearance.
Then, he took the second step. It was as if he was forced by Yang Dingtian to save the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
In order to prove his innocence, Zhu Qingzhu began to eliminate the Evil ways' hidden forces in the Middle Continent.
After a few days of killing, he killed thousands of people.
Instantly, Zhu Qingzhu washed away half of the Evil ways' color.
Then, there was the destruction of the Eagle Nest, White Sand Island, and Maple Leaf Villa.
Who did these destruction? Of course, it was the terrifying forces of the Evil ways.
However, Zhu Qingzhu was not satisfied. At first, he still pointed all the blame at Yang Dingtian. If he could incite the anger of the Middle Continent's forces, it would be the best result for him to send martial artists to suppress Yang Dingtian.
Currently, the Black Heaven Sect alone could not destroy the Western Continent's martial arts forces.
However, if they gathered all the martial arts forces in the Middle Continent, they could still do it.
If these destruction could gather the martial arts forces in the Middle Continent again and suppress Yang Dingtian, then he might as well take the opportunity to suppress Yang Dingtian again.
However, the forces in the Middle Continent were scared out of their wits by Yang Dingtian.
Several times, only the Cloud Sky Pavilion and the Ning Clan responded to the suppression of Yang Dingtian.
Therefore, Zhu Qingzhu had no choice but to carry out this conspiracy according to the original plan.
In the fourth destruction, he finally found the culprit.
It was a massacre caused by the Evil ways. Their purpose was to take revenge on Zhu Qingzhu for purging the Evil ways' hidden forces.
Then, the terrifying forces of the Evil ways launched an even crazier counterattack. They created a plague and killed tens of thousands of people.
Then, the mastermind of the Evil ways in the Middle Continent was gradually exposed. It was Ning Wuming of the Ning Clan in the South Sea.
This was an answer that no one was surprised by. It was completely reasonable.
Then, holding the banner of absolute justice, Zhu Qingzhu began to control the forces in the Middle Continent again.
Was there a more righteous name than eliminating the hidden forces of the Evil ways?
…
In the next few days!
The counterattack of the terrifying forces of the Evil ways in the Middle Continent became even crazier.
The number of destruction and plague incidents increased.
Suddenly, the entire Middle Continent was in a state of panic.
Zhu Qingzhu began to gather the forces in the Middle Continent to form a crusade against the Evil ways. He wanted to completely eliminate the hidden forces of the Evil ways in the Middle Continent and fight against the Evil ways and Ning Wuming to the end.
Of course, if you didn't join at this time?
Then sorry, the next destruction of the Evil ways would be your family!
Therefore, in order to save their lives, the forces in the Middle Continent once again gathered under Zhu Qingzhu's name. Zhu Qingzhu once again had the power to call the wind and summon the rain in the Middle Continent.
Therefore, no matter which plane or which world, terrorism was the best banner.
This country was disobedient?
It was simple. Create a terrifying force with the left hand and control the anti-terrorism force with the right hand.
Whoever disobeyed, let the terrifying force beat them up. Then, they would obediently go to the country and ask for help.
Of course, some people would say that a country couldn't win against a terrifying force.
Of course, there were also elite members of the special forces in the terrifying force.
The methods used by Zhu Qingzhu had been used so many times on Earth.
However, good methods were always tried and tested.
Moreover, among the current big shots in the Chaotic World, only Zhu Qingzhu could play with the Evil ways and the Tiandō League.
…
The crusade against the Evil ways in the Middle Continent was still in full swing.
The power in Zhu Qingzhu's hands was getting more and more terrifying.
That was because his methods of struggle had been upgraded.
Previously, if you didn't join me, the terrifying force of the Evil ways would destroy your family.
Later on, when eliminating the infiltrators of the Evil ways, they would occasionally capture captives and even get a list of names.
This made people's hearts jump, because what would these captives say?
Only the geniuses would know.
Only the heavens knew who would be on the list of the infiltrators of the Evil ways.
The first time they captured a captive, he spat out Ning Wuming's name.
Everyone acknowledged the authority of the captive's words. After all, Ning Wuming was the leader of the Evil ways in the Middle Continent. Everyone knew this.
Therefore, as long as the captive did not spit out too many names, it would naturally be authoritative.
Therefore, later on, if the forces in the Middle Continent did not listen to him, they would become infiltrators of the Evil ways. Zhu Qingzhu would then use the banner of justice to destroy them!
How frightening would the consequences be?
Therefore, in order to prevent themselves and their families from becoming infiltrators of the Evil ways, all the forces in the Middle Continent once again lay low under Zhu Qingzhu's feet and did not dare to resist.
Through the banner of the Anti- Evil ways, Zhu Qingzhu once again held the supreme power in the Middle Continent.
In fact, this time, he held even more power.
This was because the list of infiltrators of the Evil ways was like the Sword of Damos hanging over the heads of the forces in the Middle Continent. It could fall at any time.
After regaining control of the forces in the Middle Continent, Zhu Qingzhu laughed at the sky in the Black Heaven Sect and said, "Yang Dingtian, thank you!"
Yes, he really had to thank Yang Dingtian for his childishness. Without Yang Dingtian's cooperation, his road to power would not have been so smooth.
…
The crusade against the infiltrators of the Evil ways in the Middle Continent was still in full swing.
However, it was clear that they had achieved a temporary victory because the counterattacks of the Evil ways were getting weaker and weaker.
Then, one day, Zhu Qingzhu announced at the Tiandō League conference that the Middle Continent had achieved a decisive victory in eliminating the Evil ways.
Next, he was preparing to launch an expedition against the Ning Clan of the South Sea to completely eliminate the only military base of the Evil ways in the Chaotic World.
Then, Zhu Qingzhu sent an envoy to the West Continent again to invite Yang Dingtian's Council of Light to join the battle!
This world was too ridiculous. Zhu Qingzhu invited Yang Dingtian to join the crusade against the Ning Clan of the South Sea, Ning Wuming!
Moreover, Zhu Qingzhu emphasized that Yang Dingtian's ancient giant beast should join the battle as well!
For a moment, Yang Dingtian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was not good to reject, but it was also not good to accept.
What if he rejected?
What about Yang Dingtian's righteous heart?
You said that you wanted to eliminate the Evil ways, and now it's time to eliminate the leader of the Evil ways. You don't want to go?
But what if he agreed?
Everyone knew that Zhu Qingzhu and Ning Wuming were in cahoots. If he really went, he would be in deep trouble!
"The Council of Light is duty-bound to eliminate the Evil ways and Ning Wuming!"
Yang Dingtian said firmly, "However, the Council of Light is the highest authority in the Tiandō League. We cannot listen to Zhu Qingzhu's command.
On the other hand, Zhu Qingzhu is only the leader of the Black Heaven Sect. He should listen to the leader of the Hidden Sect! "
In other words, Yang Dingtian agreed to join the crusade against the Ning Clan of the South Sea, but he wanted the highest authority.
The envoy returned to the Middle Continent and reported Yang Dingtian's words to Zhu Qingzhu. Zhu Qingzhu sighed. "Sigh, Yang Dingtian has also become evil. It's not easy to fool him anymore."
…
When all the terrifying forces of the Evil Dao pointed at Ning Wuming, Yun Cailin sensed a terrifying aura, no matter how stupid or slow he was.
Thus, she no longer jumped up and down. After signing the armistice with the West Continent, she immediately withdrew into the Cloud Sky Plateau.
This was really a form of deceiving oneself. It was as if she hid in a cloth bag so that no one would come looking for her.
Hence, after Zhu Qingzhu raised the banner of eliminating the Evil ways and regained control of the Middle Continent.
However, there were still two factions that did not listen to Zhu Qingzhu's command.
The first faction was Kui Si from the Earth Splitting City!
This person was stubborn and upright. He had always disliked Zhu Qingzhu. How could he listen to Zhu Qingzhu's command?
Hence, during a few crusades against the Evil ways, Kui Si ignored Zhu Qingzhu's invitation letter and even tore it up.
As for the Cloud Sky Pavilion, they sealed off the pier and the mountain gate in an attempt to isolate themselves from the world!
Hence, they also ignored Zhu Qingzhu's letter.
Of course, there were a few times when Yun Junnu left the Cloud Sky Plateau and went to the Vulture Sect in the Southern Barbarian Continent.
As if they had received an affirmative answer, the Cloud Sky Pavilion's Southern Ocean Pier opened again. The mountain gate of the Cloud Sky Pavilion opened again!
…
Zhu Qingzhu started to gather the martial artists' forces and prepared to attack the Ning Clan in the South Sea.
However, the Ning Clan in the South Sea was isolated and thousands of miles away.
They needed the strongest flying cavalry army and the strongest navy.
Hence, Zhu Qingzhu wrote two letters and sent them to the Earth Splitting City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion. He requested the Earth Splitting City to send out the Demon Eagle Army and the Cloud Sky Pavilion to send out the crystal demon ships!
Together, they would attack the Ning Clan in the South Sea.
These two were the lifeblood of the Earth Splitting City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Furthermore, it was obvious that they would not be able to return.
In the previous naval battle, Zhu Qingzhu had already tasted the pain of lacking a powerful navy and air force.
He also saw the Cloud Sky Pavilion sneak attack the West Continent and beat up Yang Dingtian so badly that he could not fight back.
Moreover, Zhu Qingzhu knew about Yang Dingtian's Demonic Fire Phoenix.
If it was not for the huge fire, the Demonic Fire Phoenix would just be a pet that was useless.
As for that ancient giant beast, when he thought about it, he realized that Yang Dingtian's control over it was rather ordinary.
Hence, after obtaining the Demon Eagle Army and the crystal demon ships.
Zhu Qingzhu had a huge advantage over Yang Dingtian's military forces.
Hence, Zhu Qingzhu was also determined to obtain the Demon Eagle Army and the crystal demon ships!
Regarding Zhu Qingzhu's invitation, Earth Splitting City's Kui Si replied with a simple "no"!
As for Yun Cailin's reply, it was still so unique. Her reply was, "Who are the Evil ways?
Only God knows! "
In her words, she was actually hinting at Zhu Qingzhu.
After Zhu Qingzhu received Yun Cailin's reply, he was furious.
F * ck you, Yun Cailin, bitch. You really bite whoever you see!
Yang Dingtian is really useless. How can he endure being scolded like this?
*****
At the Tiandō League Conference, Zhu Qingzhu announced that Yang Dingtian would also participate in the crusade against the Ning Clan in the South Sea.
Although there was still a dispute over the command, His Excellency Yang Dingtian's determination in the cause of justice was worth learning from.
Then, Zhu Qingzhu expressed his regret for Earth Splitting City and the Sky Cloud Pavilion's refusal.
However, he announced that even if Earth Splitting City and the Sky Cloud Pavilion refused to participate in the war, even without the Demon Eagle Army and the crystal demon ships, he would still lead Zhongzhou's martial arts forces to continue the crusade against the Ning Clan in the South Sea.
Moreover, he would definitely not hold a grudge against the Sky Cloud Pavilion and Earth Splitting City.
Then, Zhongzhou's crusade against the Ning Clan in the South Sea was in full swing.
The Zhongzhou army was gathering more and more.
The date of the crusade against the Ning Clan in the South Sea was getting closer and closer.
Just as everyone thought that Zhu Qingzhu would lead the army of martial artists to the South Sea to attack the Ning Clan in the South Sea …
Suddenly, a shocking attack occurred in a coastal city in the South Zhongzhou.
A terrifying plague killed more than a hundred thousand people.
One of Zhu Qingzhu's wives was building a castle in this city to take in all the orphans in the South Zhongzhou.
After the plague, everyone in the castle died, including Zhu Qingzhu's third wife.
Then, the Evil ways of infiltration claimed responsibility for this incident.
They also announced that if Zhu Qingzhu did not stop the crusade against the Ning Clan in the South Sea, more plagues would break out in Zhongjing!
Therefore, the crusade against the Ning Clan in the South Sea was temporarily stopped.
The entire Zhongzhou was focused on eliminating the remaining forces of the Evil ways of infiltration in Zhongzhou and preventing the outbreak of plagues in Zhongjing.
Just like that, the terrible plagues continued to break out.
Although the scale was small, more than 10,000 people died each time. Often, villages disappeared one after another.
Suddenly, the entire Zhongzhou was in a state of panic. Many people even began to flee Zhongjing!
This was because the Evil ways of infiltration said that they would carry out the largest plague attack in Zhongjing!
Until one day in the middle of the night!
Someone, an expert from the Central Prefecture's Heavenly Law Union, intercepted an extremely fast warship three hundred miles away from the Central Prefecture's western sea region. There was a horrifying corpse on the warship, which was covered with countless horrifying bugs.
Then, in the sky west of Zhongjing, a Demon Vulture Warrior was intercepted.
This Demon Vulture Warrior was carrying a jade coffin. Inside the coffin was a terrifying corpse. The corpse was covered with countless terrifying bugs.
After some research, the bugs on the corpse were the source of the horror.
The fast warship came from the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
The fast Demon Vulture came from the Earth Splitting City!
Evil ways of infiltration used crystal warships and Demon Vulture Warriors to drop plague corpses. No wonder they were everywhere!
Suddenly, all the spearheads were pointed at the Earth Splitting City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion!
Then, when the Evil ways of infiltration were eliminated, they seized a list that was not burned.
There were two names on it.
One was He Wan X, the other was Yun Jun X.
The last word of the two names was burned.
But everyone could see that the first name was He Wan Qing, and the second name was Yun Junnu!
Who was He Wan Qing?
She was Kui Si's wife and Kui Ning's mother.
Yun Junnu, of course, knew better. She was Yun Cailin's illegitimate daughter.
In the list of Evil ways of infiltration, these two names appeared.
That meant that these two people were infiltrators of Evil ways!
Suddenly, all the spearheads were pointed at the Cloud Sky Pavilion and the Earth Splitting City.
The Cloud Sky Pavilion and the Earth Splitting City became the cause of the plague. They became the culprits that killed millions of innocent people in Zhongzhou!
So, countless family members of the victims began to gather in Zhongjing, shouting loudly.
Destroy the Earth Splitting City, destroy the Cloud Sky Pavilion!
Execute He Wan Qing, execute Yun Junnu!
Then, the leaders of the forces in Zhongzhou also began to publicly call for internal control before external control.
Send troops to the Earth Splitting City, send troops to the Cloud Sky Pavilion!
Execute He Wan Qing, execute Yun Junnu!
Suddenly, Zhu Qingzhu's plan, which had been planned for a few months, finally came to fruition.
Destroy the Earth Splitting City, destroy the Cloud Sky Pavilion!
Monopolize the entire Yingzhou Continent, obtain the Demon Vulture Army, and obtain the crystal warships!
And this was Zhu Qingzhu's plan from the beginning. It was also something that he had discussed with Li Ming.
The western region belonged to Ning Wuming, and Zhongzhou belonged to Zhu Qingzhu.
But Zhu Qingzhu coveted the western region. After he was badly injured, he took a turn and returned to his original position!
...
Note: I will continue to write the second update!
