Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 766 Third on the Heavenly Ranking!
Such as the Gu family, the Goddess Palace, and the remnants of the Great Jin Dynasty, etc.
Chen Yuan was relatively outstanding among them, after all, he repelled the million-strong demon army of the demon race with his own strength, and even left behind a powerful Demon God.
But even so, in the huge battlefield of the Central Plains human race, he was only one of them.
But now it's different.
The battle of the Goddess Palace was a decisive battle between Xiang Qianqiu and Chen Yuan. Both sides invested almost all of their high-end combat power, and there was more than one legendary immortal.
It also determined the ownership of the southern Central Plains.
In this battle, Xiang Qianqiu was defeated. Lu Guangsheng's physical body was destroyed, the Seven Killing Hall withdrew from human disputes, the Heavenly Demon Palace surrendered to Chen Yuan, and even a Bodhisattva from the Western Regions Buddhist Sect fell.
And it was not just a single battle that was lost, but the destiny of his Xiang clan was lost. After this battle, everyone could see clearly that Xiang Qianqiu basically had no chance to rise again.
The Xiang clan will decline once again.
And Chen Yuan will become a rising star!
Becoming the most powerful rebel king in the entire Central Plains, the three southern states will become his sphere of influence from now on, and even the most difficult-to-conquer Blood State has been brought into his pocket.
How could the unremarkable Qingzhou and the already seriously injured Yunzhou possibly stop his progress?
It is no exaggeration to say that although Chen Yuan failed to kill Xiang Qianqiu, his confidant, in the battle of the Goddess Palace, he destroyed his foundation and laid an extremely solid foundation for the future annexation of the Central Plains.
No one south of Zhongzhou will be able to stop the iron hooves of his troops.
The Martial Emperor City in the east has even reached an agreement with him to determine victory or defeat through battle. Now Chen Yuan is almost not losing to Ye Xiangnan. When he obtains the opportunity of the Western Regions' Lapis Lazuli Kingdom,
He will definitely be able to suppress him.
In this way, the East Sea will also fall into his hands.
Wei Jinfeng in the north was an old acquaintance before, but he later became independent in the chaotic war. In fact, the gap between the two sides has widened greatly.
If the Wei Jinfeng father and son are sensible, they should take the hint.
In this way, there is nothing to worry about in the north either.
After careful calculation, only the west is his major concern in unifying the Central Plains. Of course, the overseas dwarfs, the barbarians of the grasslands, and the demons of the southern border are also his future hidden dangers.
But that's for the future. At least before unifying the Central Plains, the possibility of him facing these pressures at the same time is not very high.
Therefore, after this battle, the advantage is on his side!
The aftermath of the battle of the Goddess Palace is getting more and more intense. In the chaotic situation of the world, any event can touch everyone's nerves, let alone such a major battle that is enough to determine the ownership of half of the Central Plains.
Starting from Yunzhou, it swept across the Central Plains.
Many people's focus is different. Some people are concerned about the impact of the battle between Chen Yuan and Xiang Qianqiu, as well as the future ownership of the south and the future situation of the world.
They are worried about Chen Yuan's strong rise.
They believe that the world is so big, and Chen Yuan has taken nearly half of the fertile land. How can they play?
Some people are concerned about the fact that Chen Yuan has actually joined forces with the Martial Emperor City. Ye Xiangnan disregarded the situation on the overseas battlefield and directly joined this battle.
He launched an amazing confrontation with Xiang Qianqiu.
Number one in the world vs. number two in the world.
It was undoubtedly wonderful.
It's a pity that the result of the battle ultimately ended with Ye Xiangnan's defeat. Ye Xiangnan, who was second, failed to take the first place, and was therefore jokingly called the "eternal number two" by those who like to gossip.
Some people are concerned that Chen Yuan's current strength has reached a terrifying level. The Tai Xu Palace, the Bi You Palace, the Shu Mountain Sacred Ground, the Heavenly Demon Palace, and the Goddess Palace, half of the top ten immortal sects in the world, are all on Chen Yuan's side.
If you count the Dao God Palace, a force that is not inferior to the immortal sects, Chen Yuan has already won over most of the forces. It is no surprise that the person who will be able to ascend to the throne in the future is him.
Some people are concerned that the power behind Chen Yuan is even greater. The Buddha, who was rumored to be at the Earth Immortal level, was actually unable to defeat Chen Yuan's backer and had to retreat.
Some people don't know what an Earth Immortal is, and others explain it to them.
They say it's an existence more terrifying than immortals, capable of opening up the world and forming its own realm.
Now, many people are terrified of Chen Yuan, and finally understand why Chen Yuan was able to reach the top five of the Heaven Ranking in just a few years.
It turns out that there is a Earth Immortal powerhouse supporting him behind the scenes.
In this way, isn't the chance to ascend to the throne even greater?
Some people are concerned about the ethical relationship between Chen Yuan and Xiang Qianqiu.
No one had expected that Chen Yuan, who was known as the rise of the common people, was actually a descendant of the former Chu royal family, a descendant of the Xiang clan, and that Xiang Qianqiu, who held high the banner of righteousness, was actually his father.
The battle of the Goddess Palace was also called a "father-son game."
Many people are curious as to why there is such a big feud between the Xiang Qianqiu and Chen Yuan father and son, and they must fight to the death to settle their grievances. According to ordinary people, even if their relationship is not good, it should not be so bad.
Xiang Qianqiu, the father, is simply a fool. He doesn't want such a son with the qualifications to be an emperor, and instead thinks about how to kill him.
If they joined forces, wouldn't the situation be better than it is now?
The revival of Great Chu is within reach!
Countless people are excited about it, and countless rumors have spread. Some say that the father and son are fighting for a woman, and some say that both father and son want to be emperor and refuse to give in to each other, which is why they are fighting each other.
Compared to the former, which is for a woman, the latter is obviously more credible.
Women are indeed important in this day and age, but they are not worth giving up the country for, let alone investing so much power to fight to the death.
Even if they are beautiful enough to topple kingdoms.
Some people even say that Xiang Qianqiu will definitely make a comeback after this defeat. At that time, it will depend on whether Xiang Qianqiu is cruel enough to devour his own son, or whether Chen Yuan will risk the world's disapproval to commit patricide.
If that's the case, then Chen Yuan's experience will be interesting.
Patricide and regicide, a complete traitor.
Some people are not as good as Chen Yuan in terms of hard power, so they naturally think about smearing him in other ways. Chen Yuan doesn't care about such rumors at all.
Since he has done it, he is not afraid of what others say.
Even if it is written in the history books, it doesn't matter. He won't start a literary inquisition and forbid everyone from talking about it. A person... must have a broad perspective!
Unless he kills everyone, he will definitely not be able to stop the mouths of the people.
When his future achievements become higher and higher, these small things will naturally be nothing.
There are many people in history who have committed patricide and fratricide, and have even destroyed their entire families. How many people deliberately remember them? They are just a few lines in the history books.
Chen Yuan's indifference disappointed some people, but they could do nothing about it.
As the news fermented more and more, many people saw the situation clearly and believed that Chen Yuan had the greatest chance of obtaining the throne in the end. Although they could not get the original shares,
Getting on the bus halfway can also earn a meritorious service for supporting the emperor.
It can be said that the impact of this battle has spread to all aspects. Ambitious people are leaning towards Chen Yuan, and all forces in Qingzhou are actively contacting the officials under Chen Yuan.
They want to surrender to the Prince of Yan to stabilize the world.
Even the old ancestor of the Gu family, who once regarded Chen Yuan as a great enemy, has such thoughts. However, due to his own strength, he is a little reserved and wants to talk to Chen Yuan in person, hoping that the other party will promise some benefits.
Chen Yuan almost welcomed these people, and his power expanded greatly.
However, Chen Yuan directly ignored the Gu family's ancestor's reservation. Not to mention the feud between them, he almost died in the other party's hands in the past, and he had to hide in every possible way to be safe.
Just look at the present.
A mere Gu family ancestor, a mere Yang God, what qualifications does he have to negotiate terms with him?
Faced with such a thorny head and potential future troubles, Chen Yuan chose to kill him and confiscate all the resources of the three major families and those they had gathered.
After the Goddess Palace ended, he said that he would let the Goddess Palace solve the remaining forces in Yunzhou. He was referring to... the aristocratic families alliance!
They are not qualified to oppose him now. The Goddess Palace, a defeated opponent, is enough to solve them.
Among the many conflicting news, Chen Yuan's achievements in that battle also attracted a lot of attention. Whether it was his battle with Xiang Qianqiu or his suppression and killing of Manjushri, the head of the four great Bodhisattvas, was worthy of praise.
Because of this, with solid achievements as a reliance, the Martial Emperor City quickly listed Chen Yuan as the third on the Heaven Ranking, officially entering the ranks of the top three in the world.
Before him were the eternal number two Ye Xiangnan, and the leader Xiang Qianqiu!
Their strength was recognized, and they were also called a level different from other Yang God True Monarchs.
The top three of the Heaven Ranking represents not only status, but also strength. The three of them are the strongest three below the immortals, and no refutation is allowed.
Chen Yuan has cultivated for many years, and all his efforts have finally reached this level.
In terms of cultivation, it may be a bit watery, after all, he has not yet comprehended the power of rules. However, in terms of hard power, he is not inferior to others at all.
The fall of Manjushri is the proof!
Although Chen Yuan's ranking has entered another level, it has not caused too much of a stir in the world, because many people have become accustomed to Chen Yuan's soaring strength.
In short, they are numb...
In times of peace and prosperity, a slight change in the Heaven Ranking would have a big impact. However, now is a time of turmoil. What can truly shake the world is the struggle between the rebel kings and the ownership of the world.
Unless Chen Yuan can become the recognized number one on the Heaven Ranking, it will be difficult to cause the same shock as before.
After the battle of the Goddess Palace, Chen Yuan entrusted the Goddess Palace to Li Suqing, and let Feng Jiuge, who had been imprinted with a restriction, atone for her sins. Only then did he return with his people.
At the beginning, Feng Jiuge wanted to recommend herself as a pillow companion and become someone close to Chen Yuan.
However, he was still a bit unable to accept such a woman, who had been an enemy before, but now wanted to become a bed partner. Without thinking too much, he rejected her.
He, Chen Yuan, does not lack women now, nor does he want too many women.
Great cause and longevity are what he pursues!
Xiang Qianqiu's statement to Lu Guangsheng before was correct. Before Chen Yuan returned to Shu Prefecture, he signaled Yang Huatian, the Evil Ghost Elder who was stationed on the border, to lead the Yan army to launch a full-scale attack on Blood State!
Things are different now. Xiang Qianqiu has been defeated in the overall situation. The Seven Killing Hall has withdrawn from the battle for hegemony, and the Heavenly Demon Palace supports him. Blood State is already in his pocket.
He can completely take it back!
That was a battle that could be described as a great victory. Because of the withdrawal of the Seven Killing Hall and the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Liangshan army was isolated and helpless. In addition, Xiang Qianqiu's sound transmission talisman ordered the disappearance of many Xiang family backbones in the army, causing great chaos.
Yang Huatian seized the opportunity, led his troops to charge, and forcibly pierced through the battle formation of the Liangshan army. Countless soldiers surrendered on their knees, like a whirlwind, and surrendered to the Yan army.
If you look at it from the map, it is basically a black force, dyeing half of Blood State black.
Countless fierce people in Blood State who were praised by the Jianghu, seemed to be powerful and ruthless, but in front of hundreds of thousands of troops, they were like praying mantises trying to stop a chariot, vulnerable to a single blow.
They were directly crushed...
The recovery of Blood State is in full swing. Chen Yuan's Yan character banner has been planted throughout half of Blood State. Although some casualties have been paid, these are completely worth it.
Among the thirteen states in the world, except for Jiaozhou, basically all of them are must-contested places for military strategists. However, if we really talk about fertile land, it is still the south.
Chen Yuan holds the three southern states in his hands, which is almost invincible.
He can overlook the Central Plains!
Because he was eager to return to Shu Prefecture, Chen Yuan and others did not delay any time along the way. They returned to the Yan Wang Mansion in Shu Prefecture City in less than a day.
The first thing he did after returning was to let Zhao Danqing, the Giant Ape, and Daoist Chongxu, three Yang God level powerhouses, immediately rush to the aid of Zhennan Pass.
As early as when he returned from Southern Border, Southern Border had already shown signs of unrest. Not only did the Mo Ying Demon God become the Demon Emperor, but the demon race was also constantly eyeing Zhennan Pass.
He took most of the powerhouses to Yunzhou, and actively entering Xiang Qianqiu's urn was a last resort. It was something that had to be done. Once it was done, he had to separate part of his strength to be wary of the demon race going north.
Even Chu Changfeng used the Heavenly Book to send a message, hoping that reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if the demon race really went north on a large scale again, he and the city-protecting formation of Zhennan Pass alone would not be able to resist those powerful Demon Gods.
The second thing Chen Yuan did was to send people to meet Yang Huatian and officially take over the Blood State territory!
The Heavenly Demon Palace has surrendered, so the Demon Realm cannot be touched. The Seven Killing Hall has extraordinary strength, so it cannot be forced too hard. What he occupies is only the territory that originally belonged to Liangshan, and part of the Seven Killing Hall's territory.
He did not force them too hard, but he also occupied some more prefectures.
The third thing was to let Daoist Tianxu, True Monarch Chongxu, and Jiang He officially begin to annex Qingzhou and incorporate it into their territory.
It's a pity that the Liangshan people have left, and the Xiang family members have disappeared. Otherwise, Chen Yuan really wanted to strike while the iron was hot and take the luck from Xiang Qianqiu as well.
Therefore, Chen Yuan directly gave orders to the Jinyiwei below to fully investigate the whereabouts of the Xiang family in the three southern states!
After judging for a long time, he can almost conclude that the Xiang family's lair is in the three southern states!
