Special War God

Chapter 253 The Fantasy Gap

His power is now even more secure than that of his predecessor, Huang Daosheng, who was once bound by Maitreya, but he has no such worries.

The influence of Maitreya in Jiangzhou had long since vanished, and his assistants were all sincerely helping him govern Jiangzhou.

In just a few days, he stabilized the hearts of the people of Jiangzhou, and the leaders of the ten cities all took their positions after his approval.

And his daughter, Yuan Bingyu, seemed to have grown up overnight after the experience of "running away from home". She stayed by his side obediently and helped with trivial matters.

Happiness came suddenly, and sometimes he felt that it all seemed like a dream.

On this day, a group of people from Xiuzhou arrived with great fanfare, claiming that they were coming to revive the economy of Jiangzhou.

Upon hearing that an envoy from Xiuzhou had arrived, Yuan Qingchao hurriedly went to greet him in person with Yuan Bingyu and his daughter.

However, the leader of this team of more than 200 people is just a young man in the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the rest are mostly in the Qi Refining Realm, and there are even quite a few mortals.

Yuan Qingchao couldn't help but look pale.

As the leader of the Jiangzhou Alliance and a powerful cultivator, it was ridiculous for him to receive such a mob!

Unexpectedly, the young man in the Qi Refining Stage saw Yuan Qingchao's gloomy mood, but he didn't mind at all. He introduced himself: "Master, I am Si Zheming, from Wentian Fairyland Palace."

Upon hearing that Si Zheming came from Wentian Fairyland Palace, Yuan Qingchao's expression eased a little.

After all, he dared not neglect anyone from the Wentian Fairyland Palace, after all, Xia Zhongnan was the palace master.

Si Zheming continued, "Let me introduce a few friends to the leader!

This Shopkeeper Lu runs a restaurant, this Shopkeeper Liu runs a dyeing factory, this Shopkeeper Xiao has a grain store, this Shopkeeper Xu runs a grocery store..."

Yuan Qingchao was still confused and didn't understand why Si Zheming introduced so many businessmen to him, but Yuan Bingyu's eyes were flashing with excitement.

She asked, "Friend Si Dao, are all these friends here to open shops in Jiangzhou?"

Si Zheming replied: "That's right. They are unfamiliar with Jiangzhou and need the Jiangzhou Alliance to take care of them!"

Yuan Bingyu said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Brother Xia and Wentian Fairyland Palace. You have solved Jiangzhou's biggest problem at the moment!"

At this moment, Yuan Qingchao suddenly realized.

In the past, Jiangzhou was controlled by Maitreya Sect, which only asked the people to be pure-hearted and believe in the doctrine, but neglected production, and Jiangzhou was in a state of decline.

To revive the glory, we need the participation of these merchants...

He immediately became energetic and summoned a team of people to warmly entertain these "distinguished guests" and make sure they felt the hospitality of Jiangzhou.

Afterwards, the father and daughter accompanied Sterling Zheming to lead the team to explore a suitable place to stay in the market, promising to give these strangers unprecedented shelter and preferential treatment. Sterling Zheming also summoned the liaison envoys of Kunzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou in Jiangcheng to discuss the trade routes between the five continents to enhance the civil exchanges and the flow of psychics between the continents.

After a few days, Yaden Qingzhao began to realize that Jiangzhou was gradually regaining vitality, and the laughter and cheers in the streets were becoming more and more prosperous.

However, he had never expected that in a courtyard not far from the governor's mansion, seven Void Realm practitioners were secretly watching him, with ambition flashing in their eyes. They were Guan Shiyao, as well as the Void Realm masters from the three major sects of Feiyun Pavilion, Chiri Sect, and Moshuang Tower.

Following the advice of Qu Tongtian and Tang Huaigang, the seven people acted extremely cautiously after arriving in Jiangcheng. They not only secretly spied on Jiangcheng, but also got a clear picture of the situation in the other nine cities in Jiangzhou.

At this moment, Guan Shiyao's eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring greedily in the direction of the governor's mansion. After several days of secret investigation, he was pleasantly surprised!

Compared to the prosperity of other states, this place is a little desolate, but there is no atmosphere of tension and confrontation. Under the governance of a force called the "Jiangzhou Alliance", everything is in order. According to their investigation, the leader of this alliance is the master of the Zhenwu Palace in Jiangzhou, and the members are almost all local sects in Jiangzhou. The four continents that pacified the Maitreya Sect did not interfere in the political situation in Jiangzhou.

More importantly, the Jiangzhou Alliance had no other Void Realm experts except for the leader Yaden Qingzhao and two vice-leaders. Some of Jiangzhou's high-level combat power died in the battle with the Bai Kingdom, and most of the rest sneaked into Maitreya City with the retreat of the Bai Kingdom.

When the Maitreya Sect was eradicated in the four continents, the few Void Realm people who had remained were also regarded as remnants of the sect and were eliminated together.

Guan Shiyao whispered: "Let's take action today. As long as we control Yaden Qingzhao and the two vice-leaders, the Jiangzhou Alliance will have no choice but to obey our orders!"

Rong Liangchen, a Void Realm cultivator from Feiyun Pavilion, responded: "Sir, please do not be impulsive. Lord Tang has instructed us before we left that any major actions must be approved by him or Lord Qu, otherwise you must not act rashly!"

Several other Void Realm cultivators nodded, indicating that they had also received Tang Huaigang's instructions.

Guan Shiyao's anger rose in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that the six of you are not here to assist me, but to monitor me!"

Rong Liangchen soothed him, "Sir, calm down. The situation is tense right now. Besides, our help is still on the way. Even if we succeed, we cannot trust anyone. During this time, we should report the intelligence to Lord Tang and Lord Qu and wait for their instructions."

The seven Void Realm masters all arrived by flying, while the administrative assistant that Qu Tongtian assigned to Guan Shiyao could only travel through mountains and rivers, how could he match the speed of the Void Realm masters?

Guan Shiyao clenched his fists, feeling angry, but he had no other choice but to whisper, "Then you should go to the Magic City in person and report the strange phenomena here to Lord Tang and my father-in-law. When you bring back the instructions, the team will have assembled. Then we can take action."

Rong Liangchen accepted the order and said, "I will follow your instructions!"

Then, he quietly left the city, harnessed his magic power and flew to the Magic Capital to deliver the warning.

"You said that none of the four territories sent envoys to take over the affairs of Jiangzhou?"

After receiving Rong Liangchen's report on Jiangzhou, Tang Huaigang and Qu Tongtian were both speechless with surprise.

Qu Tongtian asked, "Could it be that they marched into Jiangzhou only to fight against Mi Le City, and had no intention of occupying Jiangzhou?"

Tang Huaigang pondered and said, "I don't think so! If they really have no desire for Jiangzhou, they should report it to the royal court and request to send an envoy to take over. However, they have not mentioned this matter so far, I am afraid that things are not that simple."

Qu Tongtian speculated: "Brother Tang, could it be that they are dissatisfied with the royal court's neglect of Jiangzhou's affairs, so they deliberately did not report it?"

Tang Huaigang shook his head and sighed, "We all misjudged it before. Who would have thought that Liu Dabazi would be so powerful after arriving in Xiuzhou that even the Maitreya leader did not dare to confront him head-on! He attacked repeatedly, but the Maitreya sect was helpless! Shouldn't we think deeply about it?"

Qu Tongtian responded: "I have also thought about this. The king almost used his head to exchange for peace in Maitreya City. Now it seems that the decision was stupid. Xiuzhou can resist Maitreya City, so why would it be afraid of the king's court?"
