The Crown Prince never thought that he would contact the two top-notch sects in the Great Yu Empire: the Iron Sect and the Jin Sect. The Crown Prince never thought that he would contact the two top-notch sects in the Great Yu Empire, the Iron Sect and the Jin Sect.

What was even more unexpected was that the Pill Sect did not attack from the ground, but descended from the sky instead. A million Earth Level warriors and a million Earth Level bird surrounded the capital city in an instant. What was even more amazing was that the 16 deacons of the Pill Sect had already left the base and the crown prince had only just reached the Heaven Realm. He had no choice but to surrender.

Duan Ru knew very well that he couldn't execute the crown prince, and the decision was made by the emperor himself. Even though it was to bestow poison upon him, it didn't happen through his own hands.

Since ancient times, the house of the Marquis had been as deep as the sea, and the palace was even deeper than the house of the Marquis.

Duan Meng knew that although he had helped the Emperor settle the internal strife, it was better for him to keep a low profile. Thus, after capturing the Crown Prince, he swiftly evacuated the million elite soldiers from the capital and returned to Mount Qilan.

The old emperor was very satisfied with Duan Ru's actions and specifically bestowed him the position of Imperial Advisor. Duan Meng decisively refused. He had a very good reason: he was obsessed with martial arts and didn't like power.

This was exactly what the Emperor needed, as Duan Ling Tian's position in the heart of the old Emperor increased by another level.

Duan Meng had accomplished great deeds in battle, so naturally, he was rewarded. The old Emperor still rewarded Duan Meng with many things.

10 thousand Tier 4 spiritual pills, 1 billion gold taels, and the Qi Lan mountain range were also given to the Pill Sect.

The Fire Dragon Prefecture was a part of the Pill Sect. The other sects in the Fire Dragon Prefecture were vassals of the Pill Sect and required to pay an annual fee.

Duan Meng only thanks the Emperor for his kindness. The Emperor was overjoyed, and as he got drunk, he asked Duan Meng about his skills without leaving a trace.

"Duan Aiqing, the Pill Sect is currently the number one sect in the Great Yu Empire. Your skills are not simple …"

Duan Meng's heart stirred as he concealed his true strength. "Reporting to your majesty, I'm only a primary level heaven level expert. My subordinates are also only Earth level generals."

The old emperor smirked and pretended to hold Duan Ru's hand, using his inner strength. Duan Ru was shocked. He thought that if the emperor wanted to kill him to silence him, he would have to use a power beyond the Heaven Realm.

Then, he realized that something was wrong. He immediately used his basic heaven level strength, which meant he was hurt.

Duan Ling Tian spat out a mouthful of blood as the Emperor hurriedly apologized. "Duan Aiqing, I couldn't control the alcohol earlier. I'm sorry, but I have a Heavenly Wolf Spiritual Pill. Although it is Rank 5, it is sufficient to heal your injuries."

Only now did Duan Ru Yue understand that the old emperor's cultivation had already reached the Heaven Rank. The time when he spat out blood earlier was because he bit his own tongue and didn't suffer any injuries. However, he was able to investigate the true power of the old emperor.

Duan Ling Tian was curious. With the old emperor's strength, if he wanted to capture the crown prince alive, then it would be as easy as turning his hand. Why did he sacrifice himself to help the old Emperor?

Duan Ling Tian was slightly uneasy in his heart. It seemed that the old Emperor had many secrets, as he had only seen the tip of the iceberg. A dynasty that had existed for thousands of years definitely had more than one secret. Duan Meng's heart was filled with deep worry.

It was fortunate that he had concealed his strength, only revealing that he was a beginner level Heaven Realm cultivator. If he had acted arrogantly and used an existence that surpassed the Heaven Realm, then it might have caused the old emperor's suspicion. Then, there would have been some old monsters, so he didn't even know how he died.

Duan Jiran decided to stay away from the Imperial Palace. He found an opportunity and said that he had matters to attend to at the Pill Sect before returning to Mount Qilan. Later on, after Duan Rui had spent 500 thousand Tier 3 Spiritual Pills on the information from the Heaven Sect, he found out that the old emperor was planning to kill him. When he saw that his cultivation was only at the primary level of the Heaven Realm, he gave up.

As Duan Ru Yue thought about it, his body broke out in cold sweat.

No wonder the old emperor didn't even spare his own son. It seemed like the temptation of power was much greater than kinship. How many fathers and fathers were in the palace killing each other?

With this experience, Duan Ling Tian understood in his heart that in addition to increasing his own strength, he would do his best to show his humility towards Emperor Yu. He repeatedly stated that he was only in the Qilan Mountains and would not take even half a step into the mountain.

The old emperor understood what he was thinking when he saw Duan Meng and dispelled his original thoughts. He ordered for the Pill Sect to be bestowed upon a prefecture, and only then did the Fire Dragon Prefecture truly belong to the Pill Sect.

At this moment, when the Martial Ancestor Sect and the Jade Sect saw how powerful the Pill Sect was, they immediately sent people to ask for peace. At this moment, the Martial Ancestor Sect and the Jade Sect saw that the Pill Sect was powerful and quickly sent people to ask peace. It was precisely because of these two people that the Sect Leaders of the two sects came to plead for peace due to their slightly friendly relationship with Duan Ling Tian.

Wu Zong's intentions were a little unclear. He wanted to live in the same region as the Pill Sect. Every year, he would pay a small annual fee to seek the protection of the Pill Sect in order to make use of their fortune and avoid disasters.

The reason for the Jade Sect's visit was very clear. It was to form a family with the Pill Sect and become a branch of it. It was no longer a secret in the Empire of Yu that the Pill Sect had pacified the crown prince's rebellion within a day. The crown prince's accomplice, Director Tie and Director Jin had also been implicated. The old emperor taking advantage of this opportunity to destroy two sects was a huge shock to the entire country. It seemed that the imperial government was not weak either. The famous Iron Sect and Golden Sect had been annihilated just like that.

All the sects in the prefectures had no choice but to consider their backup plans. Especially the Martial Ancestor and Jade Sect of the Fire Dragon Prefecture, they had the intention to submit to them.

The envoys from Wu Zong and Yu Zong could not help but have an idea.

Small in the river, big in the city.

If the old emperor was crafty and hid his strength, why not he do the same as well?

"Examiner Su, Examiner Yu, when you go back, you will not be able to represent your Sect Leader. I will ask you two to go back and pick a day for me to invite your Sect Leader to come over. I have something to discuss with you, please go back and make it known."

The two of them looked at each other in dismay. When they came, their Sect Leader gave them quite a bit of authority to act in a convenient manner. However, Sect Leader Duan still didn't have enough trust, so he could only return and report.

After a few days, Duan Ling Tian invited the Sect Leaders of the Martial Ancestor Realm and the Jade Sect to the peak of Mount Qilan.

Duan Ling Tian stood at the peak of the mountain that reached into the clouds, and couldn't help but feel high-spirited as he pointed at the mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist at the foot of the mountain.

"Sect leaders, the reason why I invited you two here today is because this matter involved too much, so I didn't tell your Inspector about this matter. I have an idea today."

The Sect Leader of the Martial Ancestor Realm, Wu Zhangkong, and the Sect Leader of the Jade Sect, Yu Qingzi, were startled.

"Sect Leader Duan, please speak. We are all ears."

Duan Meng explained his thoughts to him. When the two of them heard this, their faces lit up with joy.

Wu Zhangkong said, "Sect Leader Duan's intentions are too good. This way, we'll become a family. There won't be any other sects in the Fire Dragon Province. That will be our Pill Sect."

Yu Qingzi, "Sect Leader Qing Ji, how will we develop in the future?"

"You two, listen carefully. The resources of the Pill Sect, Wu Zong and Yu Zong can be used for free, but only in secret. Wu Zong is still Wu Zong, Yu Zong is still Yu Zong. "Wu Zong specializes in making medicinal herbs and tools, while Jade Sect specializes in making medicinal pills and banks. In the future, all of the Pill Sect will retreat to Mount Qilan. As long as they can guard the Qilan Mountains, the Fire Dragon Prefecture will have Wu Zong share the world with the Jade Sect. How about that?"

Wu Zhangkong and Yu Qingzi were overjoyed. "This is the highest secret of our Pill Sect. Only the Sect Leader knows about it. Even the Vice Sect Leader has no right to know about it. Do you understand?" "This subordinate understands."

After that, all the Pill Sect members withdrew from their businesses in the Fire Dragon Prefecture. Wu Zong and the Jade Sect divided the Fire Dragon Prefecture evenly. Only after the old emperor of the imperial government knew about this did he feel completely at ease with Duan Lian.
