Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

If no miracle occurs, the Great Chu Empire will be completely finished when the capital falls.

Even more strangely, the Seven Stars Sect, as the number one sect of the Great Chu Daoist School and having been repeatedly honored by the Great Chu royal family with a very close relationship, remained silent at this time.

It's as if the Northwest Army didn't even bother to occupy the Changbai Mountains; it's utterly inexplicable and nonsensical.

Some perceptive individuals have already noticed something.

Unfortunately, they dared not imagine it, and had little confidence in their own judgment.

Seeing that the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty was likely to fall soon, some forces with ambitions to conquer the world couldn't wait to bare their ferocious fangs, mobilized their armies, and frantically seized territory.

Not only were war machines like the army fully mobilized, but also the sorcerers and heroes of the martial world gathered by various forces were not to be outdone. In an instant, the order of the entire Great Chu, both in public and in private, was thrown into chaos.

What frustrated these forces was that the Seven Star Sect, which had remained silent until now, reacted quickly and decisively this time.

The elite disciples of the sect went to various places to cooperate with the armies that the Great Chu court could still control, and dealt a ruthless blow to the military groups that wanted to dominate the world.

Clearly, those ambitious leaders did not expect that the Seven Star Sect and the imperial court would ignore the most threatening forces in the northwest and instead focus their limited resources on them.

Caught off guard, they suffered heavy losses. Apart from a few lucky ones who escaped the disaster, the other military forces that jumped out suffered significant blows to varying degrees.

Whether in military campaigns, or in duels between sorcerers and martial arts heroes, they suffered heavy losses.

"Damn it! I didn't expect the imperial court and the Seven Star Sect to be bullies who prey on the weak. If they're so capable, they should go and deal with the King of the Northwest!"

"Ignoring the million-strong army in the Northwest, a threat right under your noses, why do you insist on fighting me? Have you lost your mind?"

"The royal family and the imperial court just want to assert their presence and restore their authority, but they don't need to go to such extremes!"

……

In short, the entire Great Chu was in an uproar as the million-strong army in the northwest conquered the vast Baishan Mountains region, with war and slaughter everywhere.

Except for the Northwest, where order remained intact, normal order in the rest of the region was completely disrupted, turning the area into utter chaos.

Xiao Shan didn't care about the commotion outside. At this moment, he controlled his avatar and commanded his twelve subordinate gods to lead a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals along the Blackwater River tributary towards the other two major rivers of the Great Chu, determined to seize the waterways of the two main rivers as soon as possible.

If he could control the waterways of the three main rivers, Xiaoshan's avatar might be able to advance to the Earth Immortal realm, or even higher.

As far as Xiaoshan knows, the other two major rivers are in similar condition to the Blackwater River.

Because water transport was so important, the other two major rivers that traversed several states of the Great Chu were also taken care of by special departments controlled by the Great Chu royal family. Magic experts were often sent to clear away the demons and monsters in them, so there were no particularly powerful water demons or spirits.

As long as their twelve subordinate gods successfully enter the two great rivers, they will be able to easily take them over, just like the situation at the Blackwater River.

Just then, the entire Great Chu was in chaos. All forces were busy fighting in all directions or protecting themselves. The magic cultivators and Jianghu gangs in various places were also involved, and they had no energy to pay attention to anything else.

Xiao Shan secretly calculated that if all went well, he believed that in less than three years he would be able to completely control the three most important river transport routes in the Great Chu territory and become the undisputed supreme river god of the Great Chu region.

By then, with control over six to seven levels of water transport within the Great Chu territory and all three major rivers under his command, his powerful northwestern army will have no further obstacles in conquering the entire territory of the Great Chu.

Even the most complex mountain forests have rivers flowing through them, and even the harshest deserts have their own river systems. As for the heartland of the Great Chu, it is entirely surrounded by three major rivers and their tributaries.

As the supreme river god of the entire Great Chu, Xiao Shan's divine power and majesty can spread to wherever there are rivers and waterways, providing his powerful northwestern army with the most important water transport power!

It is no exaggeration to say that in this era of low productivity, controlling water transport was equivalent to controlling the lifeline of the entire Chu state, making the conquest of the world a smooth journey.

Once he replaces the Great Chu Dynasty and takes control of this vast territory with a population of billions and a land area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles, he will be the embodiment of the incense offerings and prayers of hundreds of millions of people. In addition, the mountains and rivers will bring him good fortune, and his strength as Ren Weiyong will receive a huge boost.

It's not impossible to even surpass the original form.

Moreover, this avatar has no self-awareness, so even if its strength surpasses that of the original body, there is nothing to worry about.

The prospects are very bright, and the path to achieving such results is not difficult, which is an absolutely ideal situation for Xiaoshan.

Unfortunately, how could he possibly have all the good things in this world?

Putting aside everything else, given Xiaoshan's own fortune, it's estimated that it would be difficult for them to smoothly obtain these benefits.

Xiao Shan knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't care much.

With the power he currently wields, he covers hundreds of millions of people in the entire Northwest, as well as the vast territory of the Baishan Mountains that he has just conquered, which also encompasses hundreds of millions, or even nearly a billion people.

The sheer size of the territory and the number of people they controlled were unmatched by anyone other than the Great Chu royal family.

Such a vast territory, such a large population, and millions of elite troops are his trump cards and solid backing.

Even if his control over the inland waterways of the Great Chu is temporarily disrupted, his vast resources and foundation are more than enough to withstand multiple failures.

Unless someone or some force deliberately targets Xiao Shan and intends to eliminate him as soon as possible, his subordinate gods can be replenished continuously no matter how many are lost.

He's not afraid of a war of attrition at all!

As he had expected, things did not go smoothly.

From the very beginning, we encountered tremendous obstacles, which could even be described as blatant provocations.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

On this day, Xiao Shan was stationed at the Blackwater River Water Palace, waiting for news from the subordinate gods he had sent out.

As a result, General Qingyu rushed in from the doorway in a panic, shouting incessantly, causing a commotion among the surrounding spirits and demons.

"I'm perfectly fine!" Xiao Shan snorted coldly, saying irritably, "But you bastard, if you don't give me a straight answer, I definitely won't let you off easily!"

"Your...Your Majesty!" Seeing Xiao Shan's anger, General Qingyu was terrified and knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, "The subordinate gods we sent to the other two great rivers have all been wiped out!"

"What?" Xiao Shan was also taken aback upon hearing this. "Explain yourself clearly to me: how did all the subordinate gods you sent out die, and how did you know about it?"

Although I had some premonitions, I didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

Some people and forces have clearly lost their temper, which is why they have acted so recklessly and without mercy.

Is the intention to completely enrage him and then take the opportunity to surround and kill him?

"Your...Your Majesty, I only just received the news!" Seemingly sensing the chilling atmosphere, General Qingyu panicked and hurriedly explained, "The messengers sent to the two great rivers have already returned!"

"Then why aren't you letting the messenger in to report? What's the rush?" Xiao Shan said irritably. "Get out of here now and bring the messenger in. I want to find out what happened and which force has the audacity to oppose me."

General Qingyu fled in a panic, and when he returned, he was accompanied by several flustered little demons.

Judging from his dazed expression, he had clearly experienced something unspeakable.

"Speak, what exactly happened?" Xiao Shan remained calm, showing no anger or panic at the shock of hearing the bad news. He simply looked at the few lesser demons.

Then, the little demons stammered and recounted the tragic events they had experienced in a jumbled and disjointed manner.

In fact, the process was not complicated.

The two groups of gods had similar experiences. They had just arrived at the other two main rivers when they were ambushed by magic experts. They had no time to react and were killed on the spot.

What annoyed Xiao Shan the most was that the attackers had clearly done it on purpose, because after all twelve zodiac gods were wiped out, the divine seals of the zodiac gods on their bodies failed to return to the main seal immediately.

It was obvious that the attackers were very familiar with their situation, and after killing them, they used their methods to interrupt the return of the twelve divine seals.

It is estimated that the twelve divine seals of the subordinate gods are imprisoned in some kind of method, and no fool would try to refine and subdue them, otherwise Xiao Shan would have sensed it immediately.

"After the subordinate deities you followed were killed, did the attackers use you to send me any messages or messages?" After a long silence, when the atmosphere in the Water Palace became increasingly tense, Xiao Shan suddenly asked, "Or did they deliberately reveal their identities?"

The answer didn't surprise him at all. The two groups of little demons who returned to report the news didn't get any useful information. It was as if the attackers had deliberately let them return to report the news.

That's incredibly audacious!

These people clearly didn't take Xiao Shan, the river god of the Blackwater River and the king of the Northwest, seriously; otherwise, they wouldn't have acted so outrageously.

With a wave of his hand dismissing General Qingyu and the lesser demons, Xiao Shan suddenly revealed a strange, ambiguous expression, muttering to himself, "I hope you won't disappoint me!"

The twelve mortal gods who were killed were nothing compared to what was to come.

Even if those twelve divine seals representing the gods were confiscated, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The River God's Seal possesses extremely wondrous functions. If Xiao Shan is willing and willing to give up the twelve subordinate god seals, he can completely remove the twelve subordinate god seals that have been confiscated, and then refine them with special materials to give the subordinate gods their unique divine marks.

This is the main reason why the attackers did not completely refine the twelve elemental divine seals.

Without Xiao Shan's permission and approval, even if the twelve elemental god seals were refined, it would be of no use.

If Xiao Shan were to become displeased, he could directly strip the twelve zodiac gods of their divine authority and power.

At that time, refining the divine seal of the subordinate gods would be a complete waste of time and effort.

As long as he has the River God's Seal, Xiao Shan can refine another subordinate god's seal at any time, and at the same time, he can bestow new water spirits as subordinate gods.

It can be said that as long as Xiaoshan is willing, he can continuously create water-mansion subordinate gods.

Even if many are wiped out by the attacking forces, as long as the spirits of the Water Palace continue, the possibility of the Blackwater River Water Palace possessing a god cannot be interrupted.

It won't be easy to wipe out all the monsters in the Blackwater River!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the special departments of the Great Chu court used to regularly clean up the demons and monsters in the three major river systems. They only targeted those spirits and monsters that might evolve into great demons, not ordinary spirits and monsters as well.

The Blackwater River is over 40,000 li long, and its abundant water transport makes it an ideal environment for spirits to appear.

It's no exaggeration to say that the monsters in a great river like the Blackwater River cannot be completely eradicated.

Chapter 915, A Plot Against Xiao Shan! (Please Subscribe!)

Clearly, the forces operating in the shadows were well aware of this and did not become complacent and reveal their presence simply because they had killed the twelve subordinate gods sent out by Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan is certain that they will take further action, which is likely a deliberate move targeting him.

Otherwise, with him in charge of the Water Palace, neither the Blackwater River nor the Northwest Army would be in chaos.

This is clearly not the outcome the other party wanted.

Given the current situation, any force that dares to target Xiao Shan and has the power to do so must be no less powerful than the Seven Star Sect, the number one sect in the Great Chu Daoist School.

The reason they are so eager to stir things up at this time is simply because Xiao Shan's actions have seriously affected or even threatened their vital interests, which is why they have jumped out to deliberately target him.

Xiaoshan was actually prepared for this long ago.

The iron hooves of a million-strong army from the Northwest are almost trampling the walls of the Great Chu capital. If we don't unite and attack Xiaoshan now, and the dark tide of troops overflows the city gates, even turning the entire capital upside down, then we'll truly be left with no one to turn to for help!

Those who dare to take action are either the other major powers vying for supremacy, or the last gasp of the Great Chu royal family, or perhaps some powerful sects with deep roots in magic, or even local martial arts giants.

In short, with the Northwest Army's military might hanging like a sword over the capital day and night, any force or powerful individual whose sore spot is provoked may come looking for trouble in Xiaoshan.

But what about Xiaoshan?

They didn't take it seriously at all!

If it weren't for the possibility that the Heavenly Court gods might be hiding behind the scenes, he could have single-handedly suppressed all the demons and monsters that jumped out!

To be honest, no matter how many eyes are watching from the shadows, or how many forces are rubbing their fists in their hands, Xiao Shan felt no fear whatsoever, not even anger.

To put it bluntly, the fate of the Great Chu Kingdom is now firmly in Xiao Shan's hands!

Initiative?

That was firmly locked in his hands!

As long as he doesn't make any foolish or blunders that give his opponents an opening, there's virtually no chance of anything going wrong.

Even if a magic cultivator dared to defy divine retribution and karma to try and use magic to slaughter the ordinary soldiers of the Northwest Army, it would be wishful thinking!

Don't forget, the soldiers of the Northwest Army are all fierce warriors who have crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and their vigorous blood and energy are comparable to that of a third-rate martial arts master.

The military formation they formed was so imposing that it could terrify even ghosts and gods!

Weaker magic cultivators would likely be bleed from all seven orifices by the baleful aura of the military formation as soon as they got close.

Not to mention, the magic experts and martial arts masters accompanying the army were no pushovers either.

Even if they are slightly inferior in terms of individual strength, with the overwhelming power of the military formation, it would be extremely difficult for either magic cultivators or martial arts giants to gain an advantage, let alone the pipe dream of one person annihilating an entire army.

This cultivation world, rich in spiritual energy, has its own rules and order. How can it allow powerful practitioners of magic to act recklessly?

Honestly, based on Xiao Shan's understanding of the various forces, apart from the Royal Guard, which was somewhat respectable, the rest of the armies within the Great Chu were simply a rabble, not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Northwest Army!

If we really had to set up a battle formation and fight head-on, the Northwest Army would just push through and crush any monsters or demons into dust!

What a pity, this is a cultivation world where mountains can be moved and seas filled with a wave of the hand!

To swallow up a behemoth like the Great Chu, brute force alone is not enough!

Of course, the foundation for conquering the world still needs to be supported by a strong military.

Currently, other forces cannot even catch up with the Northwest Army in this regard.

Even if they wanted to learn the training methods of the Northwest, they could only learn the superficial aspects.

There was no way around it; the strength of the Northwest Army stemmed from the Northwest government's clockwork efficiency, swift and decisive execution, and terrifying mobilization capacity for manpower and resources.
