Loan Wusheng

"The Heavenly Khan?"

Upon hearing this familiar address, Zheng Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling that something was amiss.

But the Khan of the Northern Rong was filled with bitterness.

Now that things have come to this, he naturally recognizes Zheng Jun's identity.

Emperor Zheng Jun of the Han Dynasty, residing in Guanzhong, the heartland of China.

It was because he recognized Zheng Jun's identity that the Northern Rong Khan was now filled with bitterness.

Nima.

Ten years to attain the Dharma form?
I could never dream of something this amazing!
And what's wrong with you? Did you unify the world and become the 'ruler of the world'?

At this moment, the Northern Rong Khan felt as if he had been tricked by the forces of Heaven.

After more than a dozen generations of effort, could the Wanyan family still not compare to the 'chosen one'?

If I weren't the favored son of Heaven, I would have died right here!
Although he thought this in his heart, the Northern Rong Khan still lowered his head and dared not speak.

but……

Even though he didn't say it aloud, Zheng Jun had no intention of letting him off the hook.

After all, a Northern Rong Khan at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm who ruled the Northern Rong for over two hundred years was far too uncontrollable.

Moreover, Zheng Jun could actually tell that the old man was secretly cursing him.

Therefore, Zheng Jun glanced at the Northern Rong Khan casually and immediately said without any room for doubt: "He who harbors resentment towards his sovereign and father shall be executed."

As soon as Zheng Jun finished speaking, the world suddenly changed color.

The Purple-Gold Emperor's Image manifested behind him, and as the illusory image of the Nine Cauldrons rotated, a dazzling sword light descended from the dome, like a divine punishment descending upon the world!

"no no!"

Before the Northern Rong Khan Wanyan Huang'er could even beg for mercy, his protective aura, which was at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm, shattered like thin paper.

The sword light pierced down from above, and his body instantly disintegrated, turning into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated in the cold wind. Even his soul could not escape and was completely annihilated.

Inside and outside the tent, there was a deathly silence, like that of a prison.

Akdun, the guard who had been blocking Zheng Jun, suddenly buckled at the knees, dropped his knife in fear, and fell to the ground, trembling like a leaf.

The nobles inside the tent were pale as death, some with their trousers soaked, and the air thick with the stench of blood.

When the Dharma Lord is enraged, even fear becomes a luxury for mortals.

Even those at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm cannot escape death!
Seeing this, the other four Yuan Dan Martial Saints in the tent were even more terrified.

Normally, they are the protectors of the Northern Rong and enjoy the support of the eight tribes of the Northern Rong.

Now, facing Zheng Jun, they would rather they weren't Yuan Dan Martial Saints, but just Tong Qiao Martial Artists, so that their survival rate might be higher.

Zheng Jun glanced indifferently at everyone, his eyes etched with threads of cause and effect.

He saw the scheming in the hearts of these nobles: some wanted to support a new Khan and secretly rebel, some planned to seek help from the Western World-Honored One, and many more just wanted to survive...

"You, you, and you, all of you shall die!"

The emperor's voice was like thunder, and the earth's veins in the Northern Rong royal court suddenly surged. One Yuan Dan and more than a dozen Han Zhang Tong Qiao had their essence and blood flowed backward, causing their seven orifices to burst and they died.

The others were horrified, but then they saw Zheng Jun raise his hand and press down, and six streams of earth vein energy rose from the frozen soil, turning into chains that bound the souls of everyone.

"Effective immediately, the Northern Rong shall be reorganized into the Northern Protectorate of the Great Han Dynasty."

Zheng Jun looked indifferently at the remaining three Yuan Dan Martial Saints, pointed to the one with the lowest cultivation level, and immediately said: "You will be the first Protector of the Beiting Protectorate, and the other two will be the Deputy Protectors."

"Anyone who dares to disobey will be executed!"

The nobles of the Northern Rong tribes inside the Khan's tent dared not utter a single objection. They immediately kowtowed, their foreheads slamming into the frozen earth and spurting blood: "We humbly obey the Khan's decree!"

The imperial aura of the Purple Star Emperor soared into the sky, and Zheng Jun stood with his hands behind his back, gazing indifferently towards the east.

Once the Northern Rong are subdued, I will naturally send a large army to garrison them after I return to the capital, and completely transform this land of the Northern Rong into Han territory.

Zheng Jun roamed freely in the clouds, acting with impunity, and headed straight for the Eastern Barbarians.

He has now become a Dharma Aspect True Lord, and has killed the Overturning Sea Great Sage, thoroughly establishing his authority. He has become one of the seven strongest people in this world of Yama, and could even be said to be among the top three.

No one, regardless of who they are, can plot against themselves.

I am already invincible in this world.

What we need to do now is to conquer the world and become the Dao Lord!
"It's time to go see my second brother."

Zheng Jun exhaled, took a step, and in an instant, he arrived above the Eastern Barbarians.

The Dongyi people were extremely similar to those of the Central Plains.

It can be said to be a one-to-one replica.

Looking at this architectural style, Zheng Jun felt a strange sense of familiarity.

However familiar it may seem, it's not the Central Plains.

What Zheng Jun needs to do now is to subdue the Northern Rong and Eastern Yi, and achieve an unprecedented unified state. Whether it is the East Sea, the South Sea or the Buddhist Kingdom in the far west, if these Dharma Realm Lords do not submit, they shall die!

……

Dongyi refers to Songcheng Commandery, a major commandery in the north.

The walls of Songcheng County finally collapsed under repeated bombardment. Amidst the flying debris, Zheng Xing took the lead and leaped into the breach.

His black armor reflected the flames of war as he used his long spear to decapitate the last defending general. Blood beads rolled down the spearhead, leaving dark red marks on the scorched earth.

"Reporting to King Zheng, the Prefect of Songcheng has fled to Baihua Mountain!"

When the deputy general knelt down to report, his voice trembled with excitement: "The heads of the twelve families of Songcheng have all raised their flags on the city tower to surrender!"

Zheng Xing looked up and saw twelve plain banners hanging on the dilapidated city tower. Under each banner knelt an old man in brocade robes, his forehead touching the ground like a lamb to the slaughter.

Zheng Xing wiped the dust mixed with blood and sweat from his face and suddenly burst into laughter.

Of course he should laugh!
Three months ago, when the ruler of Dongyi sent troops to besiege him, who didn't say that Zheng Xing would perish in the snowy plains? But what about now?

The North Sea Dragon Clan sent three thousand sets of Xuanbing Armor!

Two demon kings from the Northern Demon Court have come to surrender on their own initiative!
Even the ginseng gang that entrenched themselves on Mount Baekdu offered to guide him!
What is this if not destiny?!

It is the mandate of heaven, and the hope of the people!
In that instant, Zheng Xing also thought of Heishan County and his family.

Eldest sister Zheng Ping, third brother Zheng Jun.

I wonder how they are doing now.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xing couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Now, I am fighting against the Eastern Barbarians and have just begun to enjoy wealth and honor.

After becoming wealthy, he naturally thought of his family and wanted to share his wealth and glory with them.

While he was fighting in Yunzhou, he heard of a peerless powerhouse who had cultivated the Yuan Dan for ten years. Starting from Bozhou, he conquered cities and territories all the way, captured the capital, and ascended the throne as the emperor, known as the "Great Han Martial Virtue Emperor," making it the number one country in the world. This emperor was named "Zheng Jun."

Although the name and age of this Han emperor Zheng Jun were very similar to those of his third brother, Zheng Xing dared not make wild guesses.

For more than ten years, he was able to go through a dreamlike journey, starting as a herb gatherer in the Black Mountain, turning danger into safety step by step, experiencing demon imprisonment and battles, and leading hundreds of people to fight their way to success in Yunzhou. This was a rare and unprecedented change in a thousand years.

A scenario like 'ten years to master the Yuan Dan, ten years to pacify the world' is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Although Zheng Xing still harbored a glimmer of hope that Qi Yi, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was indeed his third brother, he still believed that one should be realistic and pragmatic.

With this thought in mind, Zheng Xing ascended to the Songcheng Prefectural Governor's Mansion, sat upright on a long chair, and prepared to declare himself king.

Zheng Xing is currently only at the peak of the Outer Gang realm, half a step into the Tongqiao realm.

However, with a wealth of talented subordinates and the assistance of three Yuan Dan Demon Kings, who were all respectful and not like puppets, Zheng Xing began to have the idea of ​​becoming king himself.

Now he is facing nothing more than the Eastern Barbarians and the Northern Barbarians. The Eastern Barbarians have three Yuan Dan Martial Saints and the Northern Barbarians have five, but why would they all come out in force to attack him?
Therefore, there is no problem with him becoming king.

However, just as Zheng Xing was discussing the matter of becoming king, a general from outside suddenly rushed over and bowed to Zheng Xing, saying, "My lord, there is a man in fine clothes outside who claims to be your brother and requests to see you."

"Is it Allen or Xiao Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xing couldn't help but think of his two younger cousins, and immediately said, "Let him in."

Zheng Lun and Zheng Feng are Zheng Xing's two cousins. More than ten years ago, when Zhou Ting was relocating people to fill Yunzhou, their uncle's family was also moved to Yunzhou. Later, Zheng Xing fought in Yunzhou and traveled all over the north and south. He recognized his uncle's family and became acquainted with them.

This Zheng Lun is the second son of the Zheng family.

Zheng Feng was the fourth son of the Zheng family.

Zheng Xing himself was the eldest son, while Zheng Jun was the third son.

Zheng Lun was also quite talented, being a third-level Outer Strength martial artist, and commanded an army under Zheng Xing.

Zheng Feng is quite young, only sixteen years old now. He is the son of his uncle's family, who were born after they moved to Yunzhou.

Besides, there is a cousin. My uncle's family is settled in Anyang, Yunzhou. Only my cousin Zheng Lun and cousin Zheng Yan have good cultivation and came with the army. I don't know why Zheng Xing suddenly came looking for me.

Perhaps something important has come up.

With this thought in mind, Zheng Xing shook his head and continued reviewing government documents.

Just then, Zheng Xing heard footsteps approaching outside the door. He looked up and saw a man in a black robe enter with his hands behind his back. His features were still faintly recognizable from his time in Heishan County, but his demeanor was now as imposing as a deep pool and a towering mountain, making people afraid to look directly at him.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Xing was taken aback and remained in shock for a long time.

Zheng Xing suddenly stood up, causing the table to shake and the teacup to tip over and shatter: "Third Brother?!"

Zheng Xing truly hadn't expected that the 'younger brother' who came to visit him was actually his own twin brother, Zheng Jun!

As Zheng Jun gazed at the bearded, imposing man before him, a memory flickered back. He remembered how his second brother would often stuff him with baked cakes after gathering herbs, and now there were signs of hardship around his eyes.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun was somewhat shaken, but he only smiled faintly and said, "Second brother, how have you been?"

Although the mystery of the womb has been solved, the memories of the past still linger in my heart.

Zheng Jun will naturally still remember his second brother.

"How did you end up in this Eastern Barbarian land!"

Zheng Xing rushed forward, placed his hands on Zheng Jun's shoulders, and looked him up and down. Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "Look at your strong physique! You must have practiced martial arts, right?! Perhaps you've even reached the level of external martial arts cultivation? Good, good! My brother is currently in the position of ruler of the country, and he's short-handed. Your arrival is just in time!"

"I'll trouble you to work in my personal guard for now. Once we destroy the Eastern Barbarian capital, I will become the ruler of the Eastern Barbarian Kingdom, and you will be granted land and a title!"

Zheng Xing is now extremely excited.

On one hand, it was a reunion of brothers, and on the other hand, it was because of the conquest of the Eastern Yi. If Zheng Xing were to become the ruler of the Eastern Yi in the future, he would need his blood relatives to govern a region.

Although Zheng Lun and Zheng Feng are from the same clan, they are not blood relatives.

Now that a blood relative has arrived, what a perfect opportunity!

After saying that, Zheng Xing didn't forget to ask, "How is my elder sister? Did she come with you?"

"very good."

Zheng Jun laughed and said, "Brother-in-law has now been granted the title of 'Duke of Changxun County,' a third-class duke. His family is wealthy and happy, so my sister has nothing to worry about. She also has the title of 'Princess of Kangguo.'"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Xing was taken aback.

Changxun County Magistrate?

Princess of Kangguo?

What does it mean?
Although Zheng Xing was hindered by the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, he still needed his own emotional intelligence and financial acumen to get to where he is today. For a moment, Zheng Xing couldn't help but think of a terrible conjecture.

Could it be that my younger brother really is...?

Just then, a strange wind suddenly arose outside the mansion, causing the window frames to rattle loudly.

Zheng Xing snapped out of his daze and pulled Zheng Jun toward the main seat: "I'll introduce you to the two of you..."

Before he finished speaking, two dark figures rolled in through the threshold. They were the two demon kings who, although they treated Zheng Xing with great respect, were arrogant and haughty towards their other generals.

The two demon kings arrived with great trepidation. Upon seeing Zheng Jun, they immediately revealed their true forms, trembling with fear: "These lowly demons were unaware of the Han Emperor's arrival. We deserve to die a thousand deaths. Please, Your Majesty, forgive us!"

The Rat Demon King's shrill voice was tinged with sobs, and its long, thin tail was tightly wrapped around its hind legs.

The dog demon king's fangs trembled, and he was so frightened that he revealed his half-demon form, the downy hair on the tips of his ears soaked with cold sweat and sticking to his scalp.

Zheng Xing's pupils suddenly contracted.

He slowly turned his head to look at his third brother beside him. He saw that the other party casually raised his hand, and the two demon kings who could usually tear apart Yuan Dan were as if they were being held down by an invisible hand, and they did not even dare to tremble.

"You guys are quite clever."

Zheng Jun's tone was calm, yet it caused the temperature in the entire hall to plummet: "The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas sent you to assist my elder brother. Did he explain why?"

The Dog Demon King let out a whimper, and the Rat Demon King answered tremblingly, "Before the Great Sage Overturning the Seas departed, he only said... said that His Highness Prince Zheng is connected to the Han Emperor by blood..."

A buzzing sound filled Zheng Xing's ears, which was quite a shock to his understanding.

Even if...

Even if his younger brother really was the Han Emperor of Guanzhong, wasn't he also a Yuan Dan Martial Saint?

Why are these two demon kings so respectful?

And judging from what they said, it seems that they came to assist him because of his third brother?!
"Alright, I understand. You may all leave."

Zheng Jun nodded slightly, and the two demon kings immediately breathed a sigh of relief and obediently got lost.

After the two demon kings were gone, Zheng Xing looked at Zheng Jun, his voice hoarse: "Third brother, you are truly capable. I never imagined that the Han emperor who dominates the northern frontier would actually be you..."

Zheng Xing's feelings at this moment were rather complicated.

There was joy, but also resentment.

There was melancholy, but also a sense of relief.

What delighted them was that their third brother was so powerful, having built such a great empire and even become emperor in the Central Plains, with countless generals under his command.

What he was unwilling to accept was his own achievements; compared to Zheng Jun, his own achievements were nothing.

What saddened him was that he had thought it was his outstanding charm that had attracted Yuan Dan to join him, but he never expected it was because of his younger brother.

He was relieved, and because of this, he finally understood why the Yuan Dan Demon King had come to serve him.

After a mix of emotions, Zheng Xing came to his senses, looked up at Zheng Jun, smiled slightly, and was about to bow.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun used the Purple Star Emperor's Qi to transform into a soft light to support his brother's weak knees, and immediately said, "Brother, why do you need to do this? I was able to achieve great things entirely because of the support you and brother-in-law provided back then. Now that you have made such contributions to the Han Dynasty, you have also made great contributions!"

"Before I came here, I went to the Northern Rong and killed the Northern Rong Khan and more than a dozen others, and established the Northern Protectorate. Although the Central Plains have been in chaos for a long time, they are just mediocre people. When I return to my country, I will be able to pacify the world."

Zheng Jun opened his mouth and said, "In this entire world, elder brother, you may choose a place with auspicious feng shui, and I will grant you this place and make you king!"

Upon hearing Zheng Jun's words, Zheng Xing sighed and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Sanlang. Your subordinates are Han generals and soldiers. However, I have been fighting in the Northern Rong, Yunzhou, and Dongyi, and my position is based here. Moreover, the Northern Rong and Dongyi do not admire the king's rule. If that is the case, I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me a fief here so that I can guard the border for Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun nodded: "What about the Prince of Yan and the Prince of Liao?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xing immediately bowed and said, "The Prince of Yan of the Great Han Dynasty greets Your Majesty!"

Zheng Xing naturally preferred the Prince of Yan to the Prince of Liao.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun nodded in agreement.

After the simple investiture ceremony, Zheng Xing said, "Third Brother, your uncles in the clan are also in Dongyi, and Second Brother, Fourth Brother, and Second Sister are also here. Why don't you meet them?"

"Very good."

Zheng Jun nodded.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Xing immediately ordered his personal guards to go and find the Zheng clan members.

Zheng Jun, meanwhile, sat in the main seat, chatting with his elder brother about the trivial matters of the past ten years, while inwardly he was already thinking about the next steps.

Those six Dharma-image True Lords will definitely not let this go.

But so what?

there is always a solution to a problem.

All they need to do is conquer the entire Central Plains, repay the debt to the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image, and then they can start to pre-pay for the second one. What can they possibly use to disrupt their ritual?

Even if they advance their funds all the way to the Dao Lord level, what can they do?! (End of Chapter)
