Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

It should be noted that some of the martial artists among them are so powerful that even Yan Nanxing is wary of them. If it really comes down to a fight, he dares not be careless at all.

In his hometown, he would at least be a powerful figure in the martial arts world, a force capable of supporting a small gang, someone everyone would have to respect.

In the city of Weiyong, Yan Nanxing even witnessed a martial arts expert, whom he himself feared and who exuded a powerful aura, accidentally bump into someone on the street. The way the expert looked so fearful and apologetic almost blinded him.

However, what Yan Nanxing saw and heard afterward made him understand why these hot-blooded and powerful martial artists were so cautious and humble.

Upon seeing the accident, a patrol of soldiers immediately parted the crowd and rushed over.

As they charged forward, the ten-man patrol slowly coalesced into a small, defensive formation, arriving with a chilling aura.

Their combined aura was quite formidable, only slightly weaker than the martial artist who had caused the accident.

What surprised Yan Nanxing even more was that these patrol soldiers were all full of vigor and strong physique. They were not only well-trained, but also showed considerable martial arts skills.

If they were to fight in the street, even with his discerning eye, he couldn't predict which side would ultimately win!

Isn't this too exaggerated?

How could a mere patrol team of ten people display such formidable combat power?

If there were more people, forming a larger and more powerful military formation, they might even be able to put up a fight against martial arts experts of similar strength.

This glimpse reveals the true extent of the power of the Wei Yong Army. No wonder they were able to suppress the warriors in the city, making them obey the rules and not dare to act recklessly.

He only saw a minor incident, which did not cause any significant disturbance.

The martial artist who caused the accident was sincere and apologized promptly. The pedestrian who was hit was also generous and said he didn't mind. This minor incident was thus resolved without Yan Nanxing realizing anything further.

"What's wrong, brother? You look surprised. Are you from out of town?" A commoner nearby, seeing Yan Nanxing's astonished expression, asked with a smile, "Seeing this, you find it unbelievable, don't you?"

Yan Nanxing nodded subconsciously and said with a wry smile, "Yes, to be honest, I just came from the heart of the Great Chu to Weiyong Territory. If it were in my hometown, the hero who just bumped into someone would be extremely arrogant and domineering. He wouldn't be so humble and cautious."

"Hey, this is the biggest difference between Weiyong Territory and other places in Da Chu, and it's also what makes us common people happiest!" The commoner who spoke up said with a proud look. "Ten years ago, similar things often happened in the city, but after the Lord of Weiyong Territory took over this place, the situation changed drastically!"

"Oh, now that you mention it, I'm even more curious about the Lord of Mighty Valor!" Yan Nanxing said frankly. "To be able to create an atmosphere of flourishing martial arts while suppressing martial artists from acting recklessly, the Lord of Mighty Valor's methods are truly impressive!"

"That's right!" a town resident laughed. "According to him, what he values ​​most is order. Anyone who breaks the rules he sets is in for trouble!"

"Oh, do you think the officials in Weiyong Territory will be honest and dutiful?" Yan Nanxing asked deliberately. "I traveled tens of thousands of miles from my hometown to Weiyong Territory and saw many corrupt officials running rampant and protecting each other along the way. Is it different here in Weiyong Territory?"

At this point, Yan Nanxing showed a dismissive expression.

"Hey, you outsider, you don't know the real situation in Weiyong Territory. It's really different!" The town resident who spoke up seemed annoyed and said irritably, "I don't know about other places, but the salaries of officials in Weiyong Territory are frighteningly high. They can live a life of wealth and luxury. If they still dare to act recklessly under such circumstances, the lord of Weiyong Territory's sword is very sharp!"

Upon entering the territory of Weiyong, what Yan Nanxing saw and heard completely overturned his view of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Seeing the things that shook him to his core and the scenes that repeatedly shocked him, he was truly bewildered. Was this really the Great Chu he knew?

The deeper he went into the heart of Weiyong territory, the greater the surprises he received.

When he arrived at the true Mighty Territory, a place connected to the Demon Realm, he was already numb to the splendor and magnificence of the place.

What shocked Yan Nanxing even more was that in every city here, there were several auras that were even stronger than his, and even in some villages and towns, there were people whose strength was equal to or even stronger than his.

Unbelievable!

When he realized that most of these powerful auras belonged to government officials or border generals, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

No wonder the reputation of the Mighty Command is so great, it could even be said to be able to influence the situation in the entire Northwest. Indeed, its strength and foundation are not just for show.

Not only are there many experts in the military and government, but there are also many powerful masters in martial arts schools and security escort agencies, and the top figures among them are stronger than him.

There are skilled fighters of similar caliber, and each famous martial arts school and security escort agency has one or two or three of them. As for those of slightly lower caliber, there are even more.

According to Yan Nanxing, such a force could easily dominate the martial arts world of the Great Chu.

Even when facing those powerful magic sects, there's no need to worry at all, because their strength is indeed formidable, with many martial arts experts at the Nascent Soul stage. Such strength is not to be underestimated.

Only the mighty and powerful lord of Weiyong Territory could possibly suppress such an astonishing force in the martial world.

The martial arts atmosphere here is intense. You could meet any passerby, regardless of age, and they would have already mastered the basics of martial arts. What a terrifying sight that must be!

It can be said that as long as the lord of Weiyong Territory is willing, he can organize a large army to sweep across the Northwest at any time.

They are qualified to conquer even the heartland of the Great Chu.

There is even a great chance that they will replace the royal family of the Great Chu. It is just a mystery why the lord of Weiyong Territory is so low-key.

Yes, his assessment of Xiaoshan at this time was that it was low-key!

If it were one of those regional warlords, possessing such terrifying strength and resources, even without fully raising the banner of rebellion, they would already control a large portion of the Great Chu territory.

And what about the lord of the Mighty Territory?

Despite possessing terrifying strength, he remains low-key.

If he hadn't personally traveled to the heart of the Weiyong territory, it would have been difficult to know that this seemingly inconspicuous figure was actually a powerful and terrifying individual.

He didn't dwell on these things too much; in his view, the Lord of Mighty Valor's restraint was perhaps a good thing.

Otherwise, with the power of the Lord of Weiyong, the northwest of Great Chu would have been in chaos long ago. How could the current delicate balance be maintained, and how could the common people still have food to eat?

He was quite excited, suddenly feeling the presence of many powerful martial arts masters. If he could challenge them one by one, his own strength and combat ability would probably improve even further.

He was originally very confident that he would make it into the top 16 of the Mighty Valor Martial Arts Tournament, but now he has little confidence left.

However, his fighting spirit burned fiercely, and he couldn't wait to spar with a large number of experts.

Therefore, he actively registered for the competition as a martial arts expert from elsewhere.

……

Xiao Shan casually flipped through the list of the top 100 contestants in the Mighty Valor Martial Arts Tournament, while also looking at the talisman balls that captured the contest photos.

The so-called image-recording sphere looks similar to a crystal ball in Western fantasy stories, but it's not as big. When you input magic power, it immediately emits a hazy yellow light, and then a three-dimensional image of the contest appears.

Just like a modern 3D movie, the images of all the top 100 contestants are all clearly visible in the small talisman sphere.

This is a gadget that Xiao Shan instructed his magic practitioners to create.

It's similar to a modern camera projector, except that it stores and releases images and sounds using runes.

It has almost no effect on combat, but it is quite effective in ordinary management and monitoring.

Yan Nanxing was wrong. Not only was the martial arts culture flourishing in the Weiyong Territory, but there was also an explosion of powerful martial arts experts. The magic cultivators under Xiao Shan were also quite strong, but they had lost their former superior status and were being forced by Xiao Shan to research and create some very practical rune tools.

The image-recording sphere is one of their creations.

The average person is completely unaware of its existence; even the city garrison commander is unaware of it. Only a few core high-ranking officials are aware of it, but they have no intention of publicizing it.

Chapter 890. Chaos! Chaos! The entire northwestern Shanxi is in complete chaos!

After looking at these image-recording spheres, Xiao Shan chuckled and said, "The accumulation in Weiyong Territory is almost complete. It's time to loosen the restrictions on those martial arts experts!"

At this time, ten years had passed since Xiaoshan took over the three neighboring prefectures of Weiyong Territory.

Over the past decade, Xiao Shan has completely taken control of the entire Weiyong territory, and has thoroughly implemented his policies and systems throughout the territory.

It's hard to say about the three newly added states, but the regions that were previously under our control and directly connected to the Demon Realm have been governed for over twenty years. Their foundation has gradually deepened, and they have accumulated considerable strength, which is more than enough to support Xiao Shan's further expansion plans.

In particular, the flourishing martial arts atmosphere he created, as well as the dozen or so divine skills he spread, made the martial arts strength of the entire Weiyong Territory at least one level higher than the average level of the entire Great Chu!

This is no joke. If Xiao Shan loosens his control over his Jianghu forces, or even secretly encourages the top Jianghu masters in his territory to cause trouble in the heart of Da Chu, it will definitely stir up huge waves.

It should be known that this world is rich in spiritual energy, and martial arts can rival magic. The top masters here are capable of splitting mountains and breaking peaks. If martial arts masters at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm were to unleash their power, how terrifying would the momentum be?

In short, Xiao Shan felt he had accumulated enough experience and could take another step forward. Now, his vanguard consisted of martial arts masters from his territory...

The Second Mighty Martial Arts Tournament concluded successfully in a lively atmosphere.

Having been deeply involved in this grand event, Yan Nanxing felt both depressed and happy, his feelings indescribably complex.

What frustrated him was that, despite his strength, he only managed to achieve a mere forty-eighth place in the Mighty Martial Arts Tournament, which made him feel quite dissatisfied, but at the same time, it ignited a strong desire to strive for more.

In the territory of Weiyong, he witnessed too many powerful figures, no longer the invincible force he was in his hometown. This situation made him both depressed and full of fighting spirit.

To his delight, he met many martial arts masters, which made him no longer hesitate or feel depressed about advancing on the path of martial arts.

What made him even happier was that, just as he was about to leave the territory of Weiyong, several martial arts experts who were stronger than him decided to accompany him to the heart of the Great Chu to broaden his horizons.

Yan Nanxing is still too young at the moment.

Little did they know that the might and strength of the martial arts leaders would cause immense turmoil and upheaval in the chaotic heartland of the Great Chu.

I fear that by then, the already chaotic situation in the heart of the Great Chu will become even more chaotic.

As for Yan Nanxing, he was unintentionally drawn into this, and it's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for him.

For the next twenty years, the entire Northwest region was in an uproar.

First, the situation in the Northwest martial arts world was in complete chaos. The martial artists of Weiyong Territory, who had been confined to the territory and not allowed to cause trouble, poured in and directly shook the foundation of the Northwest martial arts world.

In this world, the connection between the martial arts world, the government, and the common people is closer than ever before.

The situation in the martial arts world is in chaos, and the government's control over the local areas and the daily lives of the people have all been severely disrupted.

For territory, for survival, for expansion, the entire Northwest martial arts world has descended into complete chaos.

Within two or three years, the situation in the entire Northwest also became chaotic.

Local forces were not to be outdone, and with the support of powerful martial arts factions or magic sects behind them, they also sent troops to fight each other.

Chaos! Chaos! The entire northwestern Shanxi region is in complete disarray...

Over the course of twenty years, Yan Nanxing roamed across thirty-six provinces, killing local bullies, corrupt officials, and tyrants, leaving countless heads rolling and offending countless powerful figures.

Finally, when he was forced to leave his hometown and dared not return, and could only claim to have seen through the world and lived in seclusion, Xiao Shan's border troops had already swept across the entire northwest, and their powerful military force had already threatened the safety of the heartland of the Great Chu.

Between the northwest and the heartland of the Great Chu, there is a vast river, thousands of feet wide and tens of thousands of miles long, which blocks the way. It is called the Blackwater River.

It got its name because the mud at the bottom of the river was all black, which made the entire river water appear black.

In Xiaoshan's eyes, the Blackwater River is different from others.

There's no other reason than that this is one of the three major water systems within the Great Chu territory, traversing the entire territory of the Great Chu. The water vapor in it is so rich that it has even given rise to a hidden dragon vein!

“This is a great place!” Xiao Shan said with a smile, standing on the bank of the mighty and surging Blackwater River.

The group of military and political officials following him exchanged glances, wondering what this bigwig, who had always refused to step into the limelight, was thinking.

For them, the most important thing right now must be to raise the flag and declare themselves king, right?

This awkward situation is not good for the future development of our power.

They just didn't dare to bring it up.

Despite his seemingly harmless appearance, Xiao Shan, the mastermind behind the scenes, has a terrible temper.

He showed absolutely no mercy to the officials in the three major systems of military, government, and supervision under his command.

Anyone who broke the rules was either beheaded or sent to a labor camp for reform through labor.

Such iron-fisted methods really displeased them.

If this were happening in the Great Chu court, and the current emperor were to try such antics, he would likely meet a violent end within days, and the surrounding provinces and prefectures would be engulfed in rebellion.

Unfortunately, in front of Xiaoshan, they had to suppress all their grievances, unless they didn't want to continue living in the Northwest.

It wasn't that no officials or military officers had resisted before, but they raised the banner of rebellion one day and died the next, without causing the slightest ripple.

However, in the officialdom and the military, a turbulent current was secretly stirring up. How many promising young talents fell because of these trivial matters, and how many high-ranking officials became labor camp prisoners?

What frustrated the military and political leaders in the Northwest even more was that, for reasons unknown, Xiao Shan had taken the initiative to include martial arts experts and magic sects in the supervisory system.

These guys are incredibly mysterious and unpredictable; many secretive matters cannot escape their surveillance.

These guys must have taken some kind of poison; they were all incredibly impartial and had no intention of communicating privately with the military and political officials who were found to have problems. They all reported directly to Xiao Shan.

Needless to say, what happened next was that Xiao Shan was a ruthless man who couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing. Any military or political official who got into trouble would end up in a labor camp.

After years of adjustment, the current government and military officials in the Northwest have figured out the big boss's principles of conduct.

As long as you don't break the rules, everything else is negotiable.

But if you break the rules and get caught, the outcome is not good. Not only will your future be ruined, but even your next generation will be implicated.

Over time, they figured out a way to get along with Xiaoshan.
