Madam Yan was put in an important position by Lu Li. She was appointed as the counselor of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom.
As a matter of fact, Madam Yan was not very powerful. She was only at the Eternal Realm. But Lu Li didn't need Madam Yan. He had enough warriors under him. What he needed was Madam Yan's resourcefulness and cruelty.
Madam Yan had a nickname, the Black Widow. She was so good at scheming that people would fall into her trap unknowingly. They wouldn't even know that they had been killed.
Yu Huashen was his warrior on the surface. Madam Yan was in charge of the things in the dark, doing the dirty things.
One of them was a warrior while the other was a scholar. They could restrain each other. It was not that he didn't trust Yu Huashen. But as an emperor, he must maintain balance. This was what Lu Ling meant by the way of an emperor.
As a matter of fact, Ye Cha and the others were more suitable to work in secret. However, the identity of the Cyan Phoenix Race was sensitive. Lu Li didn't want to use them too much.
Ye Cha and the others followed them wholeheartedly, so he naturally had to think for the Cyan Phoenix Clan.
Ye Cha's enemies were too powerful. Once the six forces, including the Palace of Heaven's Roars, knew about it, the entire Northern Desert would be plunged into a bloodbath.
The people of the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race had to die, and he would be implicated as well.
Therefore, he appointed Madam Yan as the State Counselor to take charge of the overall situation. Previously, Madam Yan was in charge of all the affairs of the Bai Family. The fact that the Thousand-island Lake was controlled by Madam Yan was proof of her capability.
Lu Li also planned to set up a secret team under the control of Ming Yu.
The purpose of this secret team was to keep an eye on Madam Yan, Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Madam Yan. The three of them would monitor each other and keep each other in check. Lu Li could sleep in peace.
Madam Yan was appointed. Her face blushed.
Bai Leng and the others were excited when they heard the news. Lu Li really valued the Bai Family. As long as they worked hard with Lu Li, the Bai Family's rise was just around the corner.
Madam Yan took the order and left to plan the overall situation.
Yu Huashen was a bit upset when he heard about Madam Yan's appointment.
After all, Madam Yan could restrain him. Even though Madam Yan could not control him in battles, he always felt that there was a sword hanging over his head. If he had any second thoughts, he and the Yu Family would be destroyed.
He used to be an overlord himself. He understood that it was not that Lu Li didn't trust him. It was just that the leader had a way to check and balance him.
He didn't overthink it. He followed Lu Li wholeheartedly and made great contributions before anything else.
The whole Heaven Frigid City was busy. A few days had passed, but the family heads had not come yet.
These people were definitely loyal to the Du family. They had to be eliminated.
Madam Yan had begun to plan. Her plan was not just the Heaven Frigid Kingdom, but the entire Northern Desert.
The Northern Desert also had the Heaven Cold Kingdom and the Heaven Martial Kingdom. Taking over the two kingdoms at the lowest cost had become Madam Yan's main task.
When the five days were up, Yu Huashen led the army and started to conquer the more than a dozen regions that didn't surrender.
The more than a dozen regions were controlled by Fourth-rank Families. Yu Huashen had two warriors of the Noble Lord Realm with him so he felt no pressure.
Not to mention a month, he estimated that he would be able to sweep the entire Heaven Frigid Nation within twenty days.
…
Soon, the news spread across the entire Northern Desert. Both the temple and Du Zheng received Lu Li's letter.
Du Zheng was very polite. He indicated that he was waiting at the Heaven Prison City for Lu Li to have a drink at any time.
Du Zheng had expressed his full support for Lu Li.
A letter came from the temple, telling Lu Li not to destroy the temples in the cities and that the temple would not get involved in anything else.
The Heaven Cold Kingdom was in a state of panic. The Ye Family, a Royal Family, was in a state of panic. They didn't know what to do.
The Heaven Martial Kingdom was panicking as well. The Zi Family was quarreling. Someone scolded Lu Li for being heartless, someone said that the general trend was irresistible, and someone suggested that the Heaven Cold Kingdom should ally with Lu Li.
The Ye Family of the Heaven Cold Kingdom and the Wu Family of the Heaven Martial Kingdom were two overlords of the Northern Desert. The resources of the two kingdoms belonged to the two families.
Once they surrendered to Lu Li, most of the resources would be taken away by Lu Li. How could the family develop without resources?
Once the family's resources were reduced, warriors of the External Clan would turn traitor. The family would be weaker and weaker, and in the end, it might be destroyed …
Someone of the Heaven Cold Kingdom suggested to complain to the Pavilion of Delicacy, saying that Lu Li was a disciple of the Lu Family but he came to unify the Northern Desert, which was against the agreement between the Royal Families of the Central Plains.
The Heaven Cold Kingdom did send someone over. However, when they activated the Teleportation Formation, the one at the Clouds City was closed …
From this, the great families of the Tianliang Kingdom could smell something different.
Lu Li had just arrived when the Teleportation Formation was closed. Could it be that Lu Li had bribed the Palace of Peaceful Heavens at the Clouds City?
…
While the families of the two kingdoms were in a state of panic, Yu Huashen was unstoppable.
Three warriors of the Noble Lord Realm could wipe out the entire Heaven Frigid Kingdom. The other warriors didn't even have to go.
At the Northern Desert and even at the Central Plains, powerful warriors could play a decisive role.
For example, if there was a Human Sovereign Realm warrior at the Northern Desert, he didn't have to do anything. He could just send his order to the entire Northern Desert. Many families would surrender to him. It would be a piece of cake to unify the Northern Desert.
Even at the Central Plains, if the Great Patriarch of the Lu Family wanted to conquer a region, he could do it easily.
The difference in realms was huge, not something that could be made up for by numbers.
Yu Huashen slaughtered his way through. All the families that didn't come to the Heaven Frigid Kingdom were wiped out without any mercy.
It was too late for some families to surrender when the army arrived. Lu Li had given them a chance but they didn't cherish it. They had to be slaughtered.
In just over a dozen days, Yu Huashen had swept across the entire Northern Desert with his army. All the families that refused to surrender were wiped out.
The Heaven Frigid Kingdom had a new owner. The mark of the Du Family was erased from the land.
There was only one owner of the land now, Lu Li.
Ye Cha and the others went to the southernmost sea area of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom.
Some tried to escape from the Northern Desert and cross the sea to the Central Plains but they were all killed by Ye Cha.
On the 18th day, Yu Huashen returned to the capital. Madam Yan had to take care of the rest.
It was easy to conquer the world but difficult to rule it. More than half of the families of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom had surrendered, but who could tell if they were sincere?
All the mines, farms, lands and resources had to be calculated. Interests had to be redistributed and territories had to be divided. Madam Yan and the patriarchs of the Bai Family were swamped with work.
Lu Li wasn't in a hurry to attack the other two kingdoms. He wanted to take over the territories here first. What was the point of attacking the other two kingdoms when the rear was not stable?
The others were so busy but Lu Li was relaxed. He was playing chess with Lu Feixue and Bai Xiashuang was there as well.
But Bai Xiashuang couldn't sit still. She would give Lu Li some advice every now and then.
Lu Feixue's wounds were almost healed. She wasn't annoyed. She would look at Bai Xiashuang and Lu Li with a smile every now and then.
After a game, Lu Li glared at Bai Xiashuang and said, "Can't you stop?
If it weren't for you, I would have won. "
"You are the one who is not good enough. How can you blame me?" Bai Xiashuang pouted and said.
Lu Li shook his head. Then he remembered something and asked, "Bai Xiashuang, where is your sister?
Is she at the Bai Emperor Mountain? "
Bai Qiuxue was the only one who didn't come. Lu Li thought that Bai Qiuxue was staying at home so he didn't ask.
Now that he remembered the time when he played chess with Bai Qiuxue, he asked.
"No!"
Bai Xiashuang was upset. She sighed and said, "My sister has gone to the small world to cultivate by herself. It has been half a year. I wonder how she is doing now."
"Um ~"
Lu Li was touched. Bai Qiuxue was as stubborn and crazy as ever.
She went to the small world to cultivate by herself. Wasn't she afraid that she would be killed by the indigenous people there?
