Three days and three nights later, Yang Dingtian returned to Zhongzhou State.
As expected, the leaders' persuasion of Zhongzhou State was very successful.
Seven days ago, Zhu Qingzhu appeared again and publicly announced his resignation as the Sect Leader of the Black Heaven Sect. Zhuo Qingchi would take over.
Then, Zhu Qingzhu disappeared completely. No one knew where he went.
Zhu Qingzhu's announcement shocked the entire Zhongzhou State like a nuclear bomb.
Almost all the big shots and people were completely shocked.
Zhu Qingzhu had been the Sect Leader of the Black Heaven Sect for almost 20 years. He had been hovering over Zhongzhou State for more than 10 years.
He was a person with a strong desire for power. How could he be willing to resign?
What exactly happened at the Cloud Sky Pavilion?
Of course, there were no fools in the world.
Yang Dingtian snatched the Cloud Sky Pavilion and Earth-Splitting City from Zhu Qingzhu. Zhu Qingzhu flew into a rage out of humiliation and colluded with the Evil ways to eliminate the Council of Light in one fell swoop.
Although this matter was very secretive, most people of a certain status knew about it. Even if there was no evidence, they could guess it.
Moreover, many people saw hundreds of experts from the Evil ways flying down from the north.
Some of the leaders of Zhongzhou State's forces even estimated the number of grandmasters on both sides to be in the single digits.
Therefore, although they could not see it, almost everyone in Zhongzhou was paying attention to this earth-shattering battle.
However, everyone felt that Yang Dingtian's side did not have much hope.
That was because Yang Dingtian only had two grandmasters. Moreover, he had failed to ask for help from the Yin-Yang School.
(Of course, this was what the forces of Zhongzhou State thought. After all, their sources of information were limited.)
On the other hand, the Black Heaven Sect and the Evil ways had joined forces. There were six or seven grandmasters, and Zhu Qingzhu was so powerful.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian should be completely finished in a martial arts battle.
Therefore, all the forces in Zhongzhou pricked up their ears and waited for the news of Yang Dingtian's destruction. Then, they would watch in agony as Zhu Qingzhu's darkness shrouded Zhongzhou State again.
However, they did not expect this news to come.
Zhu Qingzhu abdicated, and Zhuo Qingchi became the Sect Leader of the Black Heaven Sect.
Moreover, Yang Dingtian and the Council of Light were safe and sound.
Then, the Council of Light announced that Ning Wuming and the Joyless Palace represented the Evil ways to attack the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
However, they were annihilated by the Council of Light and the Black Heaven Sect. The allied forces of the Ning Clan and the Joyous Palace were completely annihilated. Ning Wuming and Mutant Gudu died a violent death!
This announcement by the Council of Light once again shook the entire world.
What was wrong with this world?
Why did the Black Heaven Sect partner up with the Council of Light?
Moreover, he killed the Ning Clan and the Joyous Palace?
However, if that was the case, why did Zhu Qingzhu abdicate?
Countless people could not figure it out no matter how much they thought about it.
But no matter what, Yang Dingtian, who was supposed to be destroyed, actually won again.
All the forces of Central Continent were in awe.
Just as they were still feeling dizzy from the two pieces of news, the Black Heaven Sect's Zhuo Qingchi announced the third piece of shocking news.
From today onwards, the Black Heaven Sect will join the Council of Light!
This time, the people of Central Continent almost went crazy!
What, what was going on?
Just a while ago, they were still fighting to the death. How did the Black Heaven Sect join the Council of Light all of a sudden?
Then, many different versions of the rumor spread. They said that Yang Dingtian's Council of Light was very mysterious and powerful, and that he defeated the Evil ways and the Black Heaven Sect that day.
Zhu Qingzhu was supposed to die, but he was spared because of Zhu Hongxue's pleading.
However, Zhu Qingzhu had to be removed from his position as punishment in order for the Black Heaven Sect to completely submit to him.
The Ning Clan and the Joyous Palace were not so lucky. They were completely annihilated.
When this version of the rumor spread, everyone believed it immediately.
It was reasonable and in line with reality.
This way, everything made sense. Why Zhu Qingzhu abdicated, why the Black Heaven Sect joined the Council of Light, and why the Evil ways were annihilated.
The only thing that did not make sense was, was Yang Dingtian really that powerful?
No matter how powerful Yang Dingtian was, he could not be that powerful.
Therefore, some people started to imagine. Wasn't there an ancient underwater beast that obeyed Yang Dingtian's orders in the previous naval battle?
This time, there was an even more powerful ancient expert that obeyed Yang Dingtian's orders. That was why Zhu Qingzhu and the Evil ways were annihilated.
As for why Yang Dingtian could command these ancient experts?
It was very simple. It was because he was the new leader of the Hidden Sect.
Of course, no one knew that the Evil ways were annihilated by Zhu Qingzhu alone.
No one knew that even if Yang Dingtian and his six Masters worked together, they still wouldn't be a match for Zhu Qingzhu.
However, this truth was too shocking. No one would believe it even if it was told.
However …
This way, the persuasion work of the Council of Light's big shots became very simple.
Basically, as soon as they opened their mouths, the other party would immediately agree and swear that they would be loyal to the Council of Light, to Yang Dingtian, and to fight the Evil ways to the end.
At first, Qin Wanchou and the others even took the initiative to visit and persuade.
Later, it was the leader of Zhongzhou's forces who took the initiative to ask to join the Council of Light.
No one was a fool. Even the Black Heaven Sect had joined.
If they still did not join, they would be beaten up.
If Yang Dingtian issued a third order to annihilate them, they would not be able to find their graves even if they cried.
In the past, there was still Zhu Qingzhu of the Black Heaven Sect. Now, even the Black Heaven Sect was kneeling. What were they waiting for?
Zhongzhou was so big. The persuasion that was originally expected to take a month was completed in less than ten days.
Because in the end, almost everyone took the initiative to come to the Council of Light.
…
"In the entire Zhongzhou, there are 25 Tiandō League forces and 273 Tiandō League affiliated forces.
Among them, 23 Tiandō League forces have agreed to join the Council of Light, to prepare for the Evil ways.
And 265 affiliated forces have agreed to join the Council of Light, "Zhuo Qingchi said.
"Other than the Vulture Sect, which Tiandō League forces have not joined the Council of Light?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"The Seven Refined Lane!" Zhuo Qingchi said.
No wonder Third Lady Gongsun was now Wu Youming's concubine. That was why the Seven Refined Lane would not stand on Yang Dingtian's side.
"During the persuasion, did you encounter any obstruction from some mysterious force?" Yang Dingtian asked, "For example, the Vulture Sect or the Sea of Hades?"
"No, not at all," Zhuo Qingchi said.
"Yes, the whole process was very smooth."
Qin Wanchou said, "By the way, Sect Master, how do you plan to reorganize Zhongzhou? Is it the same as West Continent?"
"It's impossible to do it like West Continent."
Yang Dingtian sighed and said, "West Continent's forces are much simpler. Once the World Meeting, Qin City, and Divine Weapons Mountain Villa are established, the entire West Continent will be stabilized.
Zhongzhou is too complicated. It has too much land, too many people, and too many prosperous cities.
If we reorganize like this, it will hurt the interests of many people. When the time comes, countless people will rebel.
In West Continent, we can suppress the rebellion, and not many people will die.
In Zhongzhou, if there's a rebellion, there will be tens of millions of casualties.
This will hurt the Tiandō League too much. "
Qin Wanchou and the others nodded in agreement.
Great chaos can only be solved!
"Therefore, Zhongzhou can only be reorganized secretly from top to bottom!"
Dongfang Minmie said, "We will work from two aspects. First, let some of Zhongzhou's leaders enter the Council of Light's highest level.
But more importantly, we need to establish the Council of Light in Zhongzhou. Let the forces most loyal to Black Heaven Sect hold the most power and change the power structure in Zhongzhou.
Second, we will establish the Heavenly Edict Academy and recruit a large number of high-level martial artists. "
At this point, Dongfang Minmie sighed and said, "It's a pity that Zhu Qingzhu left. Otherwise, it would be much easier for him to reorganize Zhongzhou."
"Yes, my prestige and deterrence are far from enough." Zhuo Qingchi sighed.
"Then, what about the division of defense zones and the establishment of the Council of Light Corps?
Are we still doing it? "Qin Wanchou asked.
"Yes, but we have to do it slowly."
Yang Dingtian said, "However, Zhongzhou has a large number of mature navy soldiers. They can be transferred to West Continent to form a new navy.
In short, reorganizing Zhongzhou will be a very slow and long-term process. "
Dongfang Minmie said, "Yes, but Zhongzhou joining the Council of Light is a huge victory in itself.
If the Yin-Yang school leads East Continent's forces to join the Council of Light, it will be a huge boost and stimulus for West Continent's reorganization! "
Everyone nodded.
Zhongzhou's forces were far greater than West Continent's. It would be difficult to use West Continent to control Zhongzhou.
However, if East Continent and West Continent worked together, it would be much easier to reorganize Zhongzhou.
"Little Tian, Zhongzhou's situation is set. Come with me to Yin-Yang school in the afternoon!
We will let Yin-Yang school join the Council of Light in the shortest time possible. Then, we will lead the entire East Continent to join the Council of Light. "Dongfang Minmie said," Ten days!
We will try to hold the Tiandō League Conference in Zhongjing in ten days to reunite the world. We will reorganize the Council of Light as a wartime organization and prepare for the upcoming Doomsday War! "
"Yes, Master!" Dongfang Minmie said.
…
In the afternoon!
Yang Dingtian, Dongfang Minmie, Ning Busi, Cheng Dabei, and Shadowless!
The five of them rode the Demon Eagle and headed to Yin-Yang school!
…
Two days and one night later!
The five of them arrived in the sky above Dongfang Yunzhou and landed directly in front of Yin-Yang school!
The four of them were all covered in white cloaks. Only Yang Dingtian's face was exposed.
At this time, there were still hundreds of people waiting in line at Yin-Yang school.
Yang Dingtian walked forward and said to the disciple guarding the gate, "Yang Dingtian has come to visit. All members of the Yin-Yang school's Elders Guild, please come out to welcome him!"
The disciple was stunned. He then bowed and said, "Yes, I will go and report this!"
Then, he quickly left.
Half an hour later, Leng Ao appeared in front of Yang Dingtian.
"City Lord Yang, you're so impressive!
But remember, if you're impressive, don't act in front of Yin-Yang school. No matter what your status is outside, in front of Yin-Yang school, you're just an abandoned student of Yin-Yang school.
Even if you're the City Lord of Cloud Sky City, in front of Yin-Yang school, you're just a traitor. "
Leng Ao said indifferently, "You want all of the Yin-Yang school's Elders Guild to come out to welcome you? Yang Dingtian, you think too highly of yourself. Today, Yin-Yang school does not welcome you. Please leave!"
"Hmph …" Ning Busi snorted and said, "Is this the most outstanding young disciple of Yin-Yang school?
Has being a frog in a well made you so stupid? "
Ning Busi suddenly lifted his cloak.
Leng Ao's expression changed. He then bowed and said, "Disciple Leng Ao greets Grand-martial Uncle!"
"I asked you a question, so just answer," Ning Busi said.
"I can only listen to Grand-martial Uncle's teachings.
However, I feel that I'm not wrong.
Yang Dingtian is an abandoned disciple of Yin-Yang school. No matter how high his status is or how high his cultivation level is, in front of Yin-Yang school, he can only be an abandoned disciple.
I will not bow to force. I will not become humble and flatter him just because his strength and status have changed. "
Leng Ao said stiffly, "You want all of the Yin-Yang school's Elders Guild to come out to welcome you? Yang Dingtian is not worthy!
Even you are not in line with the rules! "
"This is not me trying to show off, and it is not Yang Dingtian trying to show off!" Ning Busi said, "Since the Headmaster has arrived, shouldn't the Yin-Yang school come out to welcome him?"
"Since the Headmaster has arrived, of course we should all come out to welcome him. However, the Headmaster is already dead," Leng Ao said.
"Who said that I'm already dead?" Dongfang Minmie said coldly. Then, he suddenly lifted his cloak.
Behind him, Cheng Dabei and Wu Ying also lifted their cloaks.
When Leng Ao saw Dongfang Minmie, his body suddenly trembled. His entire body was completely stiff, and he could not breathe for a moment.
After a long time, he suddenly knelt down.
"Disciple Leng Ao welcomes the Headmaster's return!"
After kneeling and kowtowing, Leng Ao quickly returned to Yin-Yang school.
Fifteen minutes later, all of the Yin-Yang school's Elders Guild, the leaders of all the valleys and pavilions in the Yin-Yang school, a total of hundreds of people, walked out of the mountain gate and knelt down on the platform in front of the mountain gate.
"The Yin-Yang school welcomes the Headmaster's return!"
…
Just like that, Dongfang Minmie easily became the head of the Yin-Yang school. He immediately obtained all of the authority of the Yin-Yang school.
He had been away for more than thirteen years. Would there be anyone in the Yin-Yang school's Elders Guild who had other thoughts?
Would there be anyone with ambitions?
Of course there were!
When the news of Dongfang Minmie's death spread, not everyone in the Yin-Yang school was sad. Some were secretly delighted.
Otherwise, no one would treat Madam Dongfang so coldly.
Furthermore, Dongfang Minmie's return was no less than a thunderbolt to some people!
However, Ning Busi, Cheng Dabei, and Shadowless, the three Grandmasters, stood loyally behind Dongfang Minmie.
Was this enough to suppress any thoughts of disloyalty? It was enough to prevent anyone from acting out of desperation!
Not to mention, Dongfang Minmie also had an extremely powerful disciple.
After Dongfang Minmie became the head of the Yin-Yang school, he did not hesitate and immediately took over the Yin-Yang school's Elders Guild.
He directly established the Yin-Yang school's temporary three-person team and absorbed all of the authority of the Yin-Yang school into this three-person team.
Ning Busi, Cheng Dabei, and Shadowless were the members of this three-person team.
Next, they began to thoroughly investigate and even purge the Elders Guild!
In the past ten years, it was not only Dongfang Minmie who was absent.
Even Ning Busi and Cheng Dabei did not care about the Yin-Yang school's matters.
Therefore, it was obvious that the Yin-Yang school was heavily infiltrated.
However, now that there were four Grandmasters holding the fort, no one could cause any trouble!
Moreover, Dongfang Minmie held absolute righteousness. All of the mid-level and low-level martial artists in the Yin-Yang school regarded him as their absolute spiritual leader.
After becoming the head of the Yin-Yang school!
On the same day, Dongfang Minmie announced in Dongfang Yunzhou that the Yin-Yang school officially joined the Tiandō League's Council of Light and fully prepared for the Evil ways.
…
Three days later, the Yin-Yang school's reorganization and purge were more or less complete!
Of course, this kind of reorganization and purge was very violent.
Any members who might be infiltrators of the Evil ways or those who might have been infiltrated had their Xuan meridians sealed and were temporarily placed under house arrest.
Among them was Leng Ao.
Leng Ao's suspicion was very small. The reason he was placed under house arrest was only that he was hostile to the Council of Light and did not have a correct understanding of the Evil ways.
Of course, he was only placed under house arrest and did not kill anyone!
They wanted to thoroughly investigate the Evil ways infiltrators in the East Continent and find out which of them had betrayed them.
The only way was to find the biggest infiltrator of the Evil ways in the East Continent.
However, this person did not appear at all and did not take any action. There was no way to find out.
That's right. The Evil ways in the East Continent had not taken any action yet.
In other words, almost none of the infiltrators of the Evil ways had awakened.
…
Three days later, Dongfang Minmie gathered all the martial arts forces in the East Continent at the Tiandō League's headquarters. The Tiandō League's forces, as well as their affiliated forces, were all present!
Dongfang Minmie did not explain anything about his resurrection and comeback.
He only said three sentences.
The first sentence was that The Demon King Wentian would be resurrected soon.
Once he was resurrected, it would be the day of the apocalyptic war.
The second sentence was that Yin-Yang school would join the Council of Light and prepare for war with all their might.
In this monstrous war, if they were not comrades, they would be enemies.
The third sentence was that the forces in the East Continent would make their own choices!
The East Continent was not as big as the West Continent.
There were a total of 19 Tiandō League forces and more than 400 affiliated forces of the Tiandō League.
The East Continent was the smallest in the world, but it accounted for almost half of the total registered martial artists.
This was a pure martial arts continent. It did not have many armies, territories, or castles.
What it had were the purest martial arts sects.
Yin-Yang school's appeal in the East Continent was greater than that of the Black Heaven Sect in the Central Continent.
Under Dongfang Minmie's tough words, almost all the forces in the East Continent agreed to join the Council of Light on the same day!
Soon, Yin-Yang school would enter the East Continent and be completely reorganized.
In the Central Continent, it was very difficult to reorganize. It was almost impossible.
Because there were too many benefits, too many territories, and too many cities.
In the East Continent, it was much easier to reorganize.
Because the benefits involved were very small.
Whether it was the establishment of the Heavenly Edict Academy, the movement of martial artists for cultivation, the establishment of defense zones, the establishment of defense lines, or the establishment of a martial artist army.
The difficulty and resistance were not too great!
Of course, these things were very difficult to accomplish in one go.
Now, the West Continent, Central Continent, and East Continent were all unified and had joined the Council of Light.
Then, the only thing left was the Tiandō League Conference in Zhongjing!
They would officially announce that the world was unified and that the Council of Light would be reorganized as a wartime authority. They would officially announce that the Primal Chaos Continent would be fully prepared for the apocalyptic war!
Now, the Legion of Doom was still in hiding!
The Demon King Wentian had not been resurrected.
The Queen Devil Queen, Prince Li Ming, and Princess Mu Dan were all trying their best to resurrect the Demon King.
And the Joyous Palace's experts were all wiped out. The Temple of Blood's master was wise.
Yang Dingtian's Council of Light's only enemies could only be the Sea of Hades and the Vulture Sect, who had ulterior motives.
But once the Tiandō League Conference was held, everything would be a foregone conclusion.
Even the Sea of Hades and the Vulture Sect could not change anything. Although these two sects were powerful, they were unable to go against the entire world!
They could not go against the entire Tiandō League!
…
Note: The first update has been sent, I will continue to write the second update!
