Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

According to various sources, disciples of several major magic sects in neighboring states have been drawn into the war, either because of their power and wealth or because of their families.

Battles of formations, clashes of magical artifacts, wielding runes and curses, and even the Five Elements and Yin-Yang spells and supernatural powers...

In short, just like the Investiture of the Gods war, all the extraordinary powers that did not belong to the human world were involved.

However, these magic cultivators' methods were rather inferior, and Xiao Shan could basically deduce their specific strength after hearing their explanations.

However, the ghostly aura that permeated the heartland of the neighboring states, due to the replenishment of war and evil energy, rapidly expanded and spread towards the heartland of the Great Chu. It was obviously growing at an extremely fast pace, and it was unknown what kind of powerful ghosts were in it.

However, whenever Xiao Shan unleashed his divine sense, a chilling aura would surge within him, making him feel very uncomfortable, yet it did not cause him any disturbance.

If he didn't want to be too high-profile and attract the attention of old monsters who had been cultivating in seclusion for many years, or be targeted by some deity in the Divine Court, he would have been interested in flying over directly to see what kind of people the powerful ghost cultivators really were...

In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

The Great Chu Dynasty lasted for nearly two thousand years, but finally ran into problems at this critical juncture.

Due to the emperor's incompetence and the turmoil of the court, local powerful figures and regional warlords broke away from the control of the court, and uprisings broke out one after another in various prefectures and counties. The whole country was engulfed in flames of war, and the people suffered terribly.

In addition, demons and monsters appeared and caused chaos, often leaving no one alive and causing widespread suffering, which made the already chaotic Great Chu rush headlong into an abyss of disintegration.

The Nine Provinces, centered on the capital of the Great Chu, are still relatively well-off. At least they are firmly in the hands of the Great Chu royal family and the court, and with formidable passes and dangerous roads as barriers, they can maintain a certain degree of order and stability.

However, the farther a prefecture is from the capital, the weaker the control the Great Chu royal family and court have.

Upon reaching the prefectures and counties of the Weiyong territory, they were completely broken free from the control of the royal family and the court, and had almost become a battleground for ambitious individuals.

Not only are ambitious individuals emerging one after another, but sorcerer sects are also mixed in, and demons and monsters run rampant, making the situation a complete mess.

Especially in the prefectures and counties near Weiyong Territory, which were abandoned long ago and bordered the Demon Realm, the various forces have been fighting tooth and nail over territory and benefits.

Strangely enough, the Weiyong Territory, which should have been the most chaotic and even controlled by the great demon, has undergone a tremendous change in a quiet way.

This place was still under the control of the great demon, but the originally chaotic order was quickly restored to normal. The human population, which was originally less than 500,000, became a prosperous place with nearly 20 million people in just over a decade.

That's right, it's a bustling place!

Even the Great Chu royal family, who had abandoned this place long ago, and various other forces sent people to try to take control of it. They even invited many famous martial arts heroes and local magic practitioners who were unwilling to be suppressed to fight a fierce battle with the great demon who controlled this place.

The final outcome will be known by observing whether the powerful demon controlling this area maintains firm control over Weiyong Territory.

Moreover, those renowned heroes of the martial arts world and the local sorcerers never appeared again, so their fate is self-evident.

Immediately afterwards, the neighboring states descended into complete chaos, with a major war lasting nearly ten years. The cities of those states were reduced to ruins, and the population was decimated, leaving them powerless to continue fighting.

Most of the benefits went to the Lord of the Valiant Territory, leaving the surviving ambitious men so frustrated they nearly vomited blood.

Unbeknownst to them, the dozen or so counties and prefectures bordering the Weiyong Territory had fallen completely under the control of the Weiyong Territory government.

As for the six foreign powers that controlled this area, only three of them still exist today.

However, they have now all penetrated into the heart of several states, and no longer have a direct territorial border with the Weiyong Territory.

Anyone who knows these three forces will find that they all have extremely close ties with the Lord of Weiyong, and can even be considered his front men.

Therefore, the three forces expended a great deal of effort to penetrate into the heart of several states.

Not only were they ostracized by local forces, but also by the combined forces of martial arts practitioners and sorcerers, making their lives quite miserable.

What's even more difficult is that after advancing into the heart of several states, the three families, with a combined force of a million soldiers, were hindered by malevolent spirits and ghosts, suffering heavy losses and forced to halt their advance.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leaders of the three forces immediately sought help from the Lord of the Mighty Territory behind them.

……

"Tsk, so soon you're already facing ghosts and monsters!" Xiao Shan chuckled upon hearing the news. "Eagle, are you confident in dealing with the vengeful spirits in the heart of several states?"

The Azure Feather Demon King said awkwardly, "Your Majesty is unaware that powerful vengeful spirits are the most difficult to deal with! Ordinary methods are completely useless against them. It takes a great deal of effort to use yang energy and lightning attacks that are specifically designed to suppress vengeful spirits. My methods are a bit lacking!"

"Old Wolf, what about you?" Xiao Shan wasn't surprised. He looked directly at the Green Wolf King and asked with a smile, "If I were to send you to deal with those powerful ghosts who have become a force to be reckoned with, what would you think?"

"Your Majesty, please spare this little demon!" The Azure Wolf Demon King waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty also knows that this little demon is skilled in wind magic, and there is really no way to deal with those powerful ghosts who have become formidable!"

"You two!" Xiao Shan shook his head helplessly.

A demon is a demon; he's utterly ignorant and incompetent!

Don't they know that when wind and clouds gather, thunder and lightning can be formed?

He wouldn't tell you these things on his own initiative.

They had mentioned it in casual conversations, but it wasn't said in a very obvious way, so these two guys obviously didn't pay much attention to it.

Of course, to say that the Azure Feather Demon King and the Green Wolf Demon King are truly unable to deal with powerful ghosts that have reached a certain level would be to underestimate them.

Clearly, they were simply unwilling to venture into the heart of neighboring states to make their move.

During their casual conversations, these two had mentioned quite a bit that the magic sects in the heart of the neighboring states were not to be trifled with.

"Your Majesty, why don't we just send those three forces to find the local magic sects?" the Demon King Cangyu suggested maliciously. "Aren't they always known for subduing demons and monsters? Now their doorstep is almost occupied by powerful ghost cultivators. If they don't take action now, when will they?"

"Exactly!" the Azure Wolf Demon King retorted. "In the past, when we encountered these magic cultivators, they were all incredibly arrogant, practically declaring themselves to represent the Heavenly Dao and the Divine Court. They showed no mercy to lone demon cultivators. Now that our doorstep is almost overrun by ghost cultivators, if they don't intervene, we don't need to become their helpers!"

Neither of the two great demons looked pleased; they had clearly suffered many losses at the hands of the magic sects in the heart of the neighboring states and were not happy to let them take advantage of them.

"You guys, don't always vent your frustrations at times like this!" Xiao Shan laughed. "I hope those three forces can advance even more rapidly, while we slowly take over the empty spaces they leave behind. That's the key thing we need to do right now!"

The two demons adopted a learning posture, respectfully obeying and not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Upon hearing this, the Azure Feather Demon King asked curiously, "Your Majesty, are we perhaps going to take action ourselves?"

The Azure Wolf Demon King cautioned, "Your Majesty, if we take action ourselves, won't it attract those old monsters from the magic sects who haven't shown up yet?"

The two demons were not in a good mood, clearly having doubts about personally taking action.

They hadn't thought of this before; it was just that Xiao Shan had mentioned his concerns to them to prevent them from getting too cocky.

Clearly, the two demons took it to heart, and now they were using such a reason to refute it in a roundabout way, which Xiao Shan found extremely amusing.

Of course, Xiaoshan is not willing to be completely exposed at the moment.

He wasn't afraid of attracting the attention of the old monsters from the magic sects in the neighboring states, but he was worried about attracting the attention of the Divine Court!

After all, he had already attracted the attention of a certain celestial being in the Divine Court back in the Demon Realm!

"Don't worry, we don't need to take action ourselves!" Xiao Shan said leisurely. "The leaders of those three forces are all quite strong, and their generals are all formidable. I will personally teach them how to deal with ghost cultivators!"

For Xiao Shan, such methods were simply too numerous to mention.

If all else fails, I can always ask Zhang Xiaofan or Han Tianzun for help in the group!

Their world has a great many ways to deal with ghost cultivators!

After consulting with the chat group, Xiao Shan directly gave the leaders of the three factions the martial arts techniques such as "Blazing Sun Skill", "Blazing Sun Palm", and "Lesser Sun Sword", instructing them and their trusted subordinates to practice them in order to deal with the ghost cultivators they encountered.

Both the Azure Feather Demon King and the Green Wolf Demon King were stunned when they saw the martial arts techniques that Xiao Shan had taken out.

The Azure Feather Demon King stammered, "Your...Your Majesty, are these martial arts techniques practiced by mortals really effective?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Shan asked instead of answering.

Before the two demons could react, they suddenly felt the air become scorching hot, as if a blazing sun hung high in the sky, radiating boundless intense energy and violent yang energy that made both demons feel extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly trapped in such an illusion, the two demons were filled with surprise and instinctively tried to circulate their powerful demonic energy to deal with the situation.

But the illusion vanished the next moment, and two pairs of bewildered eyes met Xiao Shan's meaningful gaze, leaving them speechless with astonishment.

The illusion they just witnessed startled them greatly, as if it could actually char their souls and bodies.

That feeling could not be fooled by such powerful demons; they were terrified and speechless.

Is this still human martial arts?

Judging from their appearance, their abilities are in no way inferior to those of some powerful demons who have awakened ancient bloodlines!

"Now you believe me!" Xiao Shan said with a leisurely smile. "There's no such thing as a superior method, as long as it works! Once these martial arts techniques are truly unleashed to their fullest potential, dealing with newly established ghost cultivators shouldn't be a problem!"

The two great demons: "..."

……

The local warlord forces, martial arts factions, and magic sects in the neighboring states of Weiyong never expected that the ghost cultivators, whose influence spanned the heart of several states, would be defeated so quickly and so miserably.

Is this still the notoriously difficult and troublesome ghost cultivator?

It feels like it's made of paper!

It seems like the settings were deliberately configured to boost the numbers and reputation of those three forces that clearly had powerful and influential backgrounds.

Some envious local forces, defying the odds, plunged headlong into the realm of ghost cultivators, only to end up with a head full of bumps and bruises.

Tens of thousands of troops stormed in, but less than a thousand survived, and most of them were so terrified that they went insane and became complete cripples.

Don't treat people differently like this!

If it weren't for the fact that ghost cultivators have always been at odds with living beings in the mortal world, some people and forces might suspect that the three forces with the background of the Mighty and Valiant Leader have reached some kind of tacit understanding with the ghost cultivators who traverse several states.

Even the few magic sects that had been watching from the sidelines sent their elite disciples to investigate carefully, fearing that the Lord of Weiyong Territory might be colluding with the ghost cultivators.

After all, demons and ghosts are inseparable!

All factions were speculating about what methods the Lord of Weiyong Territory had used, and none of them were interested in paying attention to the three factions that existed as front-line entities, nor did they pay any attention to the efforts of the three factions with Weiyong Territory background.

This is a prejudice, and they will pay a heavy price for this subconscious prejudice later on.

At this time, the high-ranking members of the three forces with the background of the Mighty and Valiant Territory and who are on the front line of the battle against the ghost cultivators are quietly stirring up a wave of switching cultivation techniques.

The three leaders of the three factions were overjoyed to receive a series of martial arts techniques that were primarily based on masculine energy, and without much consideration, they chose to switch to practicing these techniques.

Not only them, but also their trusted generals and elite soldiers practiced these unique skills.

Of course, the training materials they provided to their generals and soldiers were not the complete version, but rather an incomplete version.

After a short adjustment period of just over a month, when they led their troops into the ghost cultivators' territory again, they were no longer hindered by anything as before.

When dealing with ghost cultivators who have no physical form, we are no longer helpless as before.

With a single palm strike, a surge of masculine energy erupted within a radius of several dozen feet in the eerie ghost realm. The ghost cultivators within were immediately restricted by the environment, unable to unleash their full power.

Moreover, if they are struck by a palm strike imbued with a violent and masculine aura, their souls will be scattered and their spirits will be destroyed.

One person's strength may not be enough, but when thousands of soldiers unleash their full masculine energy, the impact on the gloomy ghost realm is unimaginable!

Without the advantage of terrain and with a specific method of restraint, even a powerful ghost cultivator could not withstand the impact of the masculine energy launched by thousands of soldiers.

Moreover, due to insufficient time for accumulation, the gloomy ghost domains near the heart of several states in the Weiyong Territory have only been formed for less than ten years, and the number of mature ghost cultivators they can nurture is not very large; a few hundred is already the limit.

Although the other evil spirits are numerous, they may not be able to defeat the army generals who are far fewer in number, unless they have a huge advantage in terrain and a large number of ghosts.

This time, tens of thousands of vengeful ghosts in the ghost realm suffered a terrible fate. All those who encountered the general were blasted away and their souls were scattered.

Of course, for these vengeful ghosts who have lost their minds and only know how to attack living beings to enhance themselves, perhaps being scattered and destroyed is a kind of liberation.

The large area shrouded in eerie ghostly energy slowly returned to normal after the loss of the vengeful ghosts and the powerful ghost cultivators who had become powerful.

This is the world of the living!

Although these places are plagued by yin energy, and the environment has been slightly altered, and they are filled with malice towards living beings, they will surely be restored to their former glory soon under the sun's rays and with the earth's self-repair.

And who knows, there might be other benefits as well.

After all, yin and yang complement each other to create creation, and who knows what wonderful changes and things might happen as the environment here returns to normal.

Regardless of the circumstances, it is a fact that the three forces with the background of the Mighty Leader achieved an unimaginable victory in the battle against the ghost cultivators, which greatly surprised the forces and people who were watching from the sidelines.

After months of fighting, the three forces seized most of the territory in several states in one fell swoop.

These are all prime locations in several states, making other forces and individuals who had been watching with indifference green with envy.

Unfortunately, the strength displayed by the three forces was too formidable. Those who were envious wanted to benefit from it, but considering the formidable fighting power of the three forces, they had no choice but to reluctantly give up.

However, according to the message sent back by the eagle demons under the command of the Azure Feather Demon King, many experts from various martial arts sects and magic sects have been contacting the high-ranking members of the three forces, and their motives are obviously not pure.

"Let them be!" Xiao Shan didn't care about the news. "As long as they move forward according to plan, it's fine. Once the tentacles of the Mighty Valor Territory reach out, it won't matter what their intentions are!"

At this time, the territory of Weiyong had greatly expanded, extending into the heart of the Great Chu. More than a dozen counties in the neighboring states were under the control of the Weiyong government.
