C570 Chaos in the Blood Mansion
On the other side, the three major gangs led by the Blood Illusion Valley were not much better off. Not only were the number of core disciples greatly reduced in this chaos, the number of core disciples were also heavily injured.
This kind of loss didn't seem like a serious injury, but in reality, it caused the three gangs to experience an awkward situation where talents were cut off from the rest of the gangs.
This was a fatal blow to any large gang. Although the power and influence of the three major gangs were still there, what about a few decades later? In another hundred years? Perhaps the brilliance of today's world would be gone when that time comes.
Aside from the loss of disciples, the foundations of the three big gangs had also been shaken.
What was the foundation? Knowledge, knowledge, martial skills, illusions ? these were the foundations of a gang. As long as these existences were present, a gang would be able to stand firmly. Even if they didn't have any precious treasures, they could still snatch them away by themselves.
But after this battle, the loss of manpower was secondary. At most, they would have to spend more effort to cultivate it, but since the foundation was gone, what could they use to nurture future talents?
The Blood Illusion Valley's Scripture Pavilion was completely exterminated by Gongsun Zaitian and his men, and the blame was successfully shifted to the Ninth Prince. As for the Sword League and his men, they were thoroughly set on fire by the army of the nine kings.
This caused the enmity between the three great gangs and the nine kings to reach an astonishing height. If hatred and curses could kill, then the nine kings would probably be riddled with holes.
Putting aside the loss of their personnel and the destruction of their foundations, there was one other thing that really pained the three major gangs: their territories had been destroyed.
Since they could brazenly attack and destroy the strongholds of the Nine Emperor Sect, they would have to suffer the same retaliation. The Nine King also did the same thing, returning the favor.
Due to this courteous exchange, the strongholds of the three major sects were attacked to varying degrees. The northern and outer borders of the capital were the most affected, and there was almost no one who was related to the three major forces within the capital.
However, there was something extremely strange that had to be said.
As the three gangs and the nine kings went into a truce, licking each other's wounds and secretly getting angry, the two factions began to quietly expand their territories.
This kind of situation was the most obvious in the imperial city because of the sudden withdrawal of the three big gangs. Before the other powers could figure out what was going on, these two forces had already quickly seized all the territory that was left unoccupied.
What was even more strange was that in the imperial city, although one of the powers could have seized the territory faster, they chose to be slower than the other. Thus, under his deliberate actions, although they had seized all the extremely valuable and high-quality territory, they had not taken more than the other forces.
However, in contrast to the imperial city, this force, which was originally slow to strike, was actually able to occupy all the territories of the cities at an astonishing speed while those remote and unprofitable cities were forced to hand it over.
And this strange power, the one in charge in the capital was called Huang Quan, the one in charge in the north was called Qiu Canghai, the one in charge in the whole city was called Gongsun Zelai, and this force was called Listening Rain Pavilion.
As for the other major power, although they had taken over a large amount of territory, they did not gain any advantage at all.
But when they wanted to take action and try to snatch the territory from the Listening Rain Pavilion, they realized that the power who had the same view as them had more people and more money, and also had a very harmonious relationship with the officials. In that case, they could only let them eat this loss.
And most importantly, they had just heard that the higher ups of the organisations had received a huge sum of five hundred thousand silvers, and were happily waiting for the allocation to be used to retaliate against the 'bandits' of the Listening Rain Pavilion.
But in less than a day, the news had sunk to the bottom of the sea. It was said that those who had brought the money back in person had already been executed.
The reason for that was very laughable. That was because all of that silver was fake. It was basically fake silver made from other metals. The news of the rise and fall of the family members caused the various branch managers to sigh in admiration, but they could only accept the end result. They also knew that after a period of time, as long as the faction managed to digest all the territory and snatch it back, it would be difficult for them to reach the top.
This was just like an empire. Although its land area was extremely large, it was still a wasteland after leaving the desert, and it occupied almost 90% of the entire empire's territory. Such an empire had the reputation of being a great power, but it did not have the influence of a great power at all.
However, this was not the most depressing thing because they occupied the largest territory, so they were the first ones to enter the eyes of the people.
This included the power of the three big gangs, because most of the land they had lost was in the hands of this power.
Furthermore, Ninth Prince had even shifted his doubtful thoughts onto this power, and had even faintly felt that they were the culprits behind this incident. Furthermore, from who knows where he found out that this power had actually taken all the five hundred thousand silver he had lost, it further confirmed his thoughts, and confirmed that this power was the hidden culprit.
On the other hand, the eagle eye and the imperial government had their sights locked on the power that had suddenly risen up at almost the same time, and it was obvious that they were enemies.
They really did hit their teeth and swallowed the blood. Not only did they not get any advantage while seizing territory, but they also caused all the forces in the world to focus on themselves. This was very different from what they had originally thought.
The biggest problem was that even though the three top martial forces had suffered great losses, they were now able to clench their fists and prepare to strike at any time.
In addition, the Ninth Prince seemed to have targeted their own power, and was about to start a fierce fight to the death. This caused them to not only be anxious, but also helpless.
He didn't even dare to claim that the 500,000 taels of silver that he had received was a fake, let alone who would believe it.
At this moment, they didn't even need to look at themselves in the mirror and weren't even human anymore.
In such a situation, the upper echelons of the organisation had even smashed everything in the hall. If not for a variety of reasons, perhaps someone else would have been in charge of the organisation's forces on the surface.
Just as the large powers were preparing to bite the dogs, the culprits behind all of this, Gongsun Ze Tian and the huge army, smoothly went north. After resting for two days, they gathered Zhao Yiyang and the Su sisters, who had rushed over early to keep an eye on them.
After that, he used a lightning-fast method to ambush the last hope of the nine kings, killing no less than 80,000 of them, and only a few thousand managed to escape into the Profound Nether Empire. This army would probably be defeated for the sake of bringing disaster to the Profound Nether Empire, and wouldn't necessarily be treated as a guest of honor by the empire.
It could only be blamed on their master for offending the higher ups of Profound Nether Empire.
Just a few days ago, when the Profound Nether Empire attacked the Northern border to her heart's content, although she had the advantage in numbers, Situ Qingyun's defense was similarly impenetrable.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a bright and beautiful armoured troop arrived. Looking from afar, regardless of the combat strength of this troop, their beautiful armors were superior to that of the elite troops.
Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the Profound Nether Empire had no choice but to retreat and look for other opportunities to continue fighting.
But when they wanted to contact the nine kings, they realised that they could not contact them at all. Hence, different voices sounded from within the Profound Nether Empire, and some of the ministers among them suspected that the actions of the nine kings to lure the enemies seemed to be for the purpose of annihilating the life of the Profound Nether Empire.
But even though these objections existed, they were still unable to stop the battle, and the person in charge of the frontlines was the courageous and warlike Prince Xianyu Hetu of the Profound Nether Empire. With his temper, as long as the battle started, he would listen to all of them, and no matter what other people said, it would be useless.
On the other hand, although Prince Xianyu Hetu was a little headstrong, he was much more cautious with his use of troops. Before he clearly knew the background of his opponent, he was not ready to attack easily.
In this way, Gongsun Zaitian was given a few days' time, allowing him to bring his reinforcements to the northern battlefield with ease.
? ?.
There was also a battle in the northwest. Although the scale and scale weren't that big, it was extremely intense. Of course, the so-called tragic battle was only one-sided.
Due to the timely transmission of Gongsun Ztian's orders, as well as the changes to the city defenses as required, he had also moved a large number of sealed defense equipment onto the city walls. This was why he was not caught off guard by Roaring Tiger Empire.
Of course, this was originally supposed to be a sneak attack, and it was also supposed to be the last victory of the Roaring Tiger Empire.
Nine out of the ten generals that came from the Roaring Tiger Empire to launch a sneak attack on him, only the battered and exhausted handicapped veterans stumbled back to report to their families.
Their defeat was very simple, they actually closed their eyes and charged towards the strongest part of the city guards, this was something only brainless people would do, of course no one would pity the brainless ones on the battlefield, thus the city guards used the most vicious methods to meet them head on.
Of course, this was not to say that the Roaring Tiger Empire's army was really brainless, but it was all because they had used the altered military map to attack.
If it was the previously unchanged defense of the city, then this place was indeed the weakest part of the defense. However, after being changed, this place became the burial ground for countless Roaring Tiger Empire Warriors.
Of course, this battle was also recorded in the annals of history, and was known as' The funniest, strangest, most unfathomable and fastest to end a battle '. Although it was not clearly stated that this battle had happened, but the entire continent's generals probably knew that this was a one-sided battle, and the losses were as high as one to five thousand.
At this point, the focus of everyone in the world had returned to the northern border of the Profound Nether Empire and the Profound Nether Empire, because everyone knew where a great battle that was completely new to them was about to begin.
