Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

He certainly didn't expect his men to divert military rations and equipment to help him; he still had a considerable amount of money as start-up capital, and what he needed was a smooth purchasing channel.

If something unexpected really happens, and he doesn't die directly in the chaotic neighboring prefectures, he and some of his brothers still have a safe way out, which isn't a bad thing.

After all, he was doing a job that could cost him his life. If he had the support of the border troops, he could probably scare off many local bullies in the neighboring prefectures and counties, which would be quite good.

"Alright, let's give it our all. Whether we rise above others or perish in this struggle will depend on this one!" With his mind racing, the chief suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, laughing heartily, his face full of the heroic spirit of a tyrant.

The way he looked at his brothers was almost as bright as the stars in the night sky…

Chapter 867, Xiao Shan's Scheme! (Please subscribe!)

Not only were former rebel leaders eager to take advantage of the chaos in neighboring prefectures and counties, but they also sought to seize territory and become one of the local warlords.

The other ambitious individuals who mingled in the Weiyong territory also saw the hope of seizing territory in the neighboring prefectures and counties to become local warlords, and they all took action.

Of course, their choice was not only due to their own ambitions and assessment of the situation, but also undoubtedly influenced by the covert support of the border authorities.

Xiao Shan had long been aware of the chaotic situation in the neighboring prefectures and counties.

Based on his analysis of both overt and covert information, he felt that the chaos in the neighboring prefectures and counties was quite abnormal!

Xiao Shan took the issue raised by the garrison at the border infiltration station very seriously and immediately dispatched his subordinate, the Great Demon King Cang Kong, to personally investigate.

The result was quite unexpected. The Demon King Cangyu sent back a message that was neither good nor bad: the neighboring prefectures were shrouded in a layer of calamity aura, and the Great King Cangkong dared not approach easily.

Moreover, King Cangkong, with his unique and powerful eagle eyes, also saw some bad signs.

Eagles already have exceptionally good eyesight, let alone the Azure Sky King, who has become a great demon.

Although it can't compare to a clairvoyant, it's still sufficient to see things within a radius of tens of miles from high above.

Moreover, the Azure Sky King's eagle eyes have a special ability: they can see the aura of cultivators of equal or inferior strength within its field of vision, which is very useful.

It can be said that with the powerful demon King Cangkong as his subordinate, almost no strong person in the territory can hide.

Fortunately, the powerful figures hidden in the Weiyong Territory did not act rashly after learning that the Lord of Weiyong Territory might be a great demon, and this action saved them.

They had no idea that their every move was under the close surveillance of the Azure Sky King's clan, and any improper action would be met with a thunderous blow from the border government.

Putting aside other matters, according to what King Cangkong said, dense death energy has appeared in many areas of the neighboring prefectures and counties, which may indicate the emergence of ghost generals who are even more powerful than vengeful ghosts.

Ghost General!

That's a creature with bizarre methods, extremely difficult to deal with. Once it appears, it will be an absolute disaster for the surrounding creatures.

Moreover, King Cangkong also saw many cultivators from various sects and magic arts, indicating that the situation in the neighboring prefectures was quite complex.

Generally speaking, unless necessary, sectarian cultivators rarely participate in the struggle for supremacy among human dynasties, because the pursuits of the two are completely different, and there are few common interests to unite them in.

Although the human dynasties can provide a lot of cultivation resources needed by magic cultivators, the higher the cultivation level, the more precious the resources become.

Once one's cultivation reaches a high level, even mortal dynasties would find it difficult to obtain the precious resources necessary for their cultivation, making it naturally difficult to attract experts among the sect's magic cultivators.

It should be understood that the sects of magic and sorcery are controlled by these highly skilled individuals. If they are unwilling, their disciples and followers will naturally not dare to easily participate in the struggle for supremacy among human dynasties.

Moreover, the precious resources that can help magic cultivators improve their skills are absolutely divine treasures in the eyes of ordinary people. They basically have the great effects of prolonging life and transforming people. Human emperors would not even have time to enjoy them themselves, so why would they eagerly offer them to so-called immortal masters?

Through the Sky King's long-range observation and the information brought back by the caravans, Xiao Shan could basically confirm that the order in the neighboring prefectures and counties had completely collapsed and the local government had lost control over its jurisdiction.

Local tyrants, all sorts of demons and monsters, mountain spirits, and vengeful ghosts have all poured out, and the place is now in complete chaos, making it the perfect target for ambitious outside forces.

Xiao Shan was also tempted, but he didn't want to make it too obvious.

It wasn't that he was afraid of anyone, but rather that the strength of Weiyong Territory was undeniable, and which powerful figure in the neighboring prefectures and counties didn't know it?

Once the Weiyong County government takes any action, it will immediately lead to a united front of powerful factions from neighboring prefectures and counties, which is beyond doubt.

At that time, if we want to take over the neighboring prefectures and counties, we will have no choice but to rely on a forceful and ruthless approach.

This is a situation that Xiaoshan has avoided.

The development of Weiyong Territory cannot withstand such a war of attrition. It is no exaggeration to say that if blood is shed and the population of neighboring prefectures and counties is reduced by more than half.

Xiaoshan does not want neighboring prefectures and counties to be reduced to ruins, as rebuilding would not be a simple matter.

Of course, if he were to take action personally, it wouldn't be difficult for him to quickly sweep through the neighboring prefectures and counties.

But if he did that, he would be completely exposed!

Not only will news of him spread rapidly in the Demon Realm, but the forces in the Great Chu will also pay the utmost attention and be on high alert towards him.

Don't assume that just because the Great Chu has existed for nearly two thousand years, it lacks the means and trump cards to deal with a powerful figure like Xiao Shan.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that the Grand Preceptor of the Great Chu is now backed by a very obvious figure from the Void Sect is definitely not as simple as the Void Sect forces on the border that could be easily wiped out before.

Could an ordinary demon really have the ability to elevate a demon to the position of Imperial Advisor and deceive almost everyone?

Putting all that aside, Xiao Shan doesn't want to expose his identity and let the powerful demons on the edge of the demon realm, as well as the demon god behind them, find out. Otherwise, it would be another headache for him.

Fortunately, because the Weiyong territory had become so prosperous under his rule, it attracted many ambitious people to settle there directly. These ambitious people were excellent tools.

Sure enough, after receiving the request from the garrison at the border internment station, the local governments of Weiyong quickly announced the results of their investigation.

The chaotic situation in the neighboring prefectures and counties, and all the details that were exposed, were announced in their entirety without any concealment.

In this way, the people of Weiyong Territory gained a clearer understanding of the chaos in the neighboring prefectures and counties, as well as the dire straits of the people there.

At the same time, it also gave the ambitious people hiding in the shadows a deep understanding of the situation in the neighboring prefectures and counties, which was of great help to them in their future actions.

Despite the suspicions of those who doubted the Lord of Mighty Valor's intentions and the veracity of the information, they still kept it firmly in mind, knowing it might prove invaluable in the future.

Chapter 868. A Sudden Change in the Situation: Various Forces Make Their Move! (Please Subscribe!)

"I don't know what the Lord of Mighty Valor was thinking, to make such important information public!"

At the same temporary encampment, the former leader of the rebel army and several of his trusted brothers gathered once again. This time, they were ready to leave the frontier and head to neighboring prefectures to fight.

Several brothers who had infiltrated the government and worked as yamen runners for over a year resigned from their posts. With their luggage beside them, they looked relaxed, their hearts filled with the passion of their upcoming endeavors.

They were very puzzled by the Lord of Mighty Valor's actions, and couldn't help but speak up when they gathered together.

"Who knows?" The chieftain smiled slightly and said calmly, "Perhaps he has other plans!"

"Tsk, Chief, do you think the Lord of Weiyong Territory has any designs on the neighboring prefectures and counties?" At this moment, a brother who had just resigned from his official post asked curiously, "With the strength of Weiyong Territory, it wouldn't be difficult for him to sweep through the neighboring prefectures and counties, would it?"

"You said it's not difficult!" the Great Chieftain laughed. "Don't those powerful figures in the neighboring prefectures and counties know what's going on? Once the Lord of Mighty Valor takes action, the chaos in the neighboring prefectures and counties will probably stop immediately, and they will unite to resist the immense pressure brought by the Lord of Mighty Valor!"

The brothers suddenly realized, "That's right!"

If it were them, they would definitely make the same choice; that's the right thing to do!

"Therefore, regardless of whether the Lord of Weiyong has any plans, he cannot act rashly at this time!" the Grand Chieftain said leisurely. "Even if he wants to make a move, he should do so when the situation in the neighboring prefectures and counties is about to change drastically, so that he can gain the greatest benefit!"

"Then our actions have actually helped the Lord of Weiyong?" One of the quick-thinking brothers immediately realized and said dejectedly, "Could it be that if we succeed, the Lord of Weiyong will be the one who benefits the most in the end?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent, their faces grave, unsure of what to say.

"Don't worry!" The chieftain chuckled and waved his hand reassuringly. "With our strength, it's impossible for us to sweep through the neighboring prefectures and counties. Taking over even one prefecture is already quite an achievement!"

This is true!

They were indeed confident in their own strength, but the neighboring prefectures and counties were not their old strongholds where they had previously conquered the world.

All the local powers here have mobilized, so it won't be easy for them to suddenly rise up again.

To seize territory, one must rely on overwhelming strength to directly seize it with a single blow.

It's impossible to regain the ability to command a large following and sweep through a prefecture or even the entire state in a short period of time, just like when he was in his old stronghold.

"Since we can't take over the entire neighboring prefectures, is it better to be neighbors with a bunch of ambitious people whose backgrounds and ways of doing things are unknown, or with someone like the Lord of Weiyong, who values ​​rules and regulations?" Seeing his trusted brothers all frowning and remaining silent, the chieftain smiled and said, "I don't know what others think, but I would rather be neighbors with the Lord of Weiyong, who values ​​rules and regulations!"

There are still things I want to say, but I can sell myself for a good price and get on the chariot of the Lord of Mighty Valor. Then I won't have to worry about my future.

He even had a vague feeling that, judging from the way the Lord of Mighty Valor acted, he was clearly not very interested in so-called human power.

He might even go further and reach a height he could never have imagined.

However, it's not good to say this to my men, lest they look down on me and create a rift between us!

"Alright, stop overthinking. Now that we're ready, let's set off!" The chieftain stood up and laughed heartily. "We've been learning in the borderlands for so long; it's time to let outsiders know how powerful we are..."

Chaos! Chaos! Chaos!

The Great Chu prefectures and counties bordering Weiyong territory are in complete chaos!

The sudden emergence of more than a dozen forces swept through a county and prefecture, seizing territory with lightning speed and quickly establishing a foothold, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.

Led by a dozen or so strong men, and with all their trusted lieutenants being highly skilled, they quickly swept through a county or even a prefecture, driving the local tyrants to flee in terror and losing all their territory in a short period of time.

The situation in the Da Chu prefectures near the border suddenly changed, catching the various warring factions in the area off guard.

I thought the Lord of Mighty Valor had finally made a move!

Upon closer investigation, it turned out to be more than a dozen mysterious forces that might be connected to the Lord of the Mighty Territory, but were not personally involved by the Lord of the Mighty Territory.

This put the various forces, who had been on edge and preparing to join forces with their former powerful enemies, at ease and immediately launched a counterattack.

Although they were not united, they shared the same idea: to wipe out all the dozen or so suddenly emerging forces before considering anything else.

Ultimately, these people are still worried that among these newly emerging forces, there might be frontmen for the Lord of Mighty Valor.

……

As the situation in neighboring states and counties changed dramatically, the twelve containment stations established in the border areas expanded several times in a short period of time.

This time, Xiao Shan, the lord of Weiyong Territory, showed no restraint and directly dispatched his lesser demons to act as porters, transporting a large amount of building materials to the site.

Although they did not continue to participate in the expansion and construction of the internment station, they still greatly surprised everyone at the internment station and the garrison.

Meanwhile, those with some power in the border cities, towns, and villages basically already knew some of the details about the Lord of Weiyong Territory, and while they were shocked, they also felt quite awkward.

Despite prior speculation, the reality still made many people feel awkward and uncomfortable.

The Lord of Mighty Valor is actually a demon!

Despite their differing focuses, most of the elite humans who had guessed the inside story still felt extremely complicated.

"I never expected this! I really never expected this!"

At a military camp that had been turned into a construction site somewhere on the border, several former rebel generals huddled together during their free time, whispering and exchanging information to speculate on certain things.

The things that concern them most right now are the developments in the neighboring prefectures of Da Chu, and the fact that the Lord of Weiyong Territory has semi-publicly revealed his identity.

Their focus at this moment was on the Lord of Mighty Valor, who had semi-publicly revealed his identity.

The mere thought that their leader's leader's leader was not of the same race, but a demon, filled them with indescribable emotions.

"Who would have thought that the lord of Mighty Valor whom we are currently serving is actually a demon!"

"What? You have other ideas? You think it's bad to work under demons?"

"Hmph, so what if I think that way? Don't you have the same thoughts?"

"At first, it didn't feel very good, but after thinking about it again, I realized it wasn't a big deal!"

"You're really bold. Tell me, what are you thinking?"

"I'll do whatever I want. Whoever gives me a peaceful and stable life, whoever pays me, I'll work for them!"

"The Lord of Mighty Valor is a demon!"

"So what? Have you ever seen anyone more capable than the Lord of Mighty Valor? Or any human being who has shown such care for our race, allowing nearly ten million human people to live in peace?"

"Well... there really isn't one!"

"That settles it! We are in a chaotic world right now, and the actions of the Lord of Mighty Valor are far better than those guys who wear human skin but do nothing human!"

"Yes, hearing you say that, all my unease has disappeared! Speaking of which, the Lord of Mighty Valor is really strange. He is clearly a demon, shouldn't he be cruel and tyrannical? I never expected that he would govern Mighty Valor so well, even better than most so-called capable ministers. Where can I reason with that?"

"Hehe, even if such a mighty lord is a demon, I will obediently follow his orders as long as he gives the order, until he clearly shows that he is harmful to our human race. What about you?"

"Are you kidding? Military orders are absolute! Unless you don't want to continue serving in the border army, or you can withstand the bounty on your head by the Lord of Mighty Valor, which guy in the army would dare to disobey orders?"

"Exactly, isn't that obvious? Those bastards in the military law department don't care about demons or monsters. If you fall into their hands, you'll be lucky to escape with your life!"

"Then what are you all babbling about? Who cares what the Lord of Weiyong's status is? As long as he doesn't act recklessly, is his current life any worse than before?"

……

The Lord of Mighty Valor's semi-public revelation of some of his information only caused a brief private discussion in the borderlands and did not stir up much of a storm.
