But for those who wish to bear the nation’s fate, it is a solid foundation and assistance...
For the central hub of the Tang Court, if you want the horse to run, naturally you must provide some fodder.
As long as the Tang Imperial Court can stabilize the overall situation, it will suffice.
Now, in times of turmoil, chaos prevails everywhere.
If the Empress can remain at the center without tiring herself from running everywhere, she can stabilize the empire, preventing chaos at its heart.
Places like the Celestial Master Mansion, Mount Shu Sect, Pure Yang Palace, and Tianlong Temple can be left to act freely.
"Ye Clan Chief, Prince Zhao brother, and coupled with Jiasheng Upper Master, the weight is naturally sufficient, but to be safe, there should be a reliable person to go as well, even if just to keep an eye."
Princess Shanyang Zhang Ying said: "I request to go north to the distant sea, for full strategy."
Empress: "Imperial Aunt is truly wise in matters of state, thus, thank you, Imperial Aunt."
She looked at Shangguan Yunbo and Zhang Ying: "The Great Demons show signs of resurgence, especially in the overseas direction, you both should be vigilant."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yunbo and Zhang Ying grew solemn: "Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty, we shall not forget."
As core high-level members of the Tang Imperial Court, they both have access to reports from various places.
In recent years, although Great Demons like the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King and Four-eyed Python Emperor have disappeared, within and outside of the Great Tang, demons still run rampant.
The surge of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi revives all things, benefiting those who cultivate Spiritual Energy, but conversely, Demonic Qi Evil Miasma also rises, causing endless emergence of Great Demons.
To some extent, it’s even said that the existence of some high realm Great Demons suppresses the rise of later arrivals. ƒreewebɳovel.com
And when these original Great Demons exit the stage of history, it does not mean peace for the world.
It might instead be the chance for new Demon Kings to emerge and rise.
Only like the previous chaos of Western Region Demons, a battle that virtually eliminated all Western demon race experts, could one gain a few years of Serene Insight.
Later arrivals need more time to fill the upper void. freewebnoveℓ.com
In other places, the fall or retreat of Ninth Heavenly Layer Great Demons often means that the Eighth Heavenly Layer Great Demons quickly rise to fill the void left by the predecessors.
The Tang Imperial Court currently holds a list.
Among the two Great Demon Kings of the Southern Wilderness, Evil Dragon Banyan is rooted in a fixed area, while the Four-eyed Python Emperor moves around more.
After the Four-eyed Python Emperor vanished due to the Western Region Buddhism, the Southern Wilderness quickly saw the rise of Broken Mountain Scorpion and Nine-winged Golden Centipede as two key Great Demons.
According to current information, they are equivalent to the realm strength of Human Race Eighth Heavenly Layer cultivators but may advance further at any time, vying for the lead.
Or perhaps, both might successfully take that final step.
Additionally, in the Snowy Plateau, the Avalanche Beast Ape gradually stands out from the Eighth Heavenly Layer Great Demons.
In the Northern Lands Snowy Plains, there is Lord Black Mountain.
Near the Arctic Ice Sea, there is the Northern Sea Whale King.
In the eastern seas, there’s the Hexagonal Golden Shark and Bright Moon Algae.
"According to current intelligence, the most likely to take that step are the North Sea Demon Whale and Hexagonal Golden Shark."
The Empress said: "Huang Xuanpu had past entanglements with the Thousand Leaves Demon Butterfly, before his true face was revealed, no one knew the secrets within."
Shangguan Yunbo understood: "I will notify the Celestial Master Mansion to be vigilant."
He bowed to the Empress and then left the palace.
Shangguan Grand General will not act alone on this sea expedition.
But for the sake of secrecy, he cannot bring too many people.
In the north, considering the Luo Yuan Portal at sea, it’s difficult to muster manpower.
Thus, Shangguan Yunbo mobilized people from the south to meet with Lei Jun and others.
In the Suzhou Chu Clan, the old clan leader Chu Xiuyuan naturally holds the South.
But the Eighth Heavenly Layer expert Chu Peng from the clan is dispatched under orders, to go to sea with Shangguan Yunbo.
From Tianlong Temple, there is the Eighth Heavenly Layer high monk Elder Miaokong taking action.
An unexpected individual is the high monk from Xumi Vajra Division, Master Zongcuo.
He had been with Jiasheng Upper Master near the Luo Yuan Portal.
Upon hearing about the Tang Imperial Court, Celestial Master Mansion joining hands to purge the Mortal Tao Country, he volunteered to join the southern journey.
Considering previous entanglements between Western Region Buddhism and Mortal Tao Country over the Celestial Master Robe, Master Zongcuo’s eagerness was not opposed by Shangguan Yunbo.
The group made contact with the Celestial Master Mansion at sea.
"Quite a few have come indeed."
Amidst the vast sea, Lei Jun stood with his hands behind his back.
In his eyes, the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript quietly operated.
Beyond the high heavens, the Great Celestial Mirror’s light surveyed the surroundings.
On one hand, looking for the trace of Huang Xuanpu.
On the other, scanning other areas.
Shangguan Yunbo and others first entered Lei Jun’s view.
Xu Yuanzhen paid no heed to who arrived, saying directly: "You all handle the greetings, I’ll move ahead on my own."
Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang were unsurprised.
The other accompanying them was already beyond the limit.
Tang Xiaotang was originally cheerfully staying in place with Lei Jun.
But as the arrivals gradually came into her sensing range, her expression suddenly changed, and her brows furrowed: "Hmm?"
Lei Jun turned to look at her.
Tang Xiaotang coldly said: "Feels like... someone harbors bad intentions."
Lei Jun reported: "Shangguan Yunbo, Tianlong Temple Elder Miaokong, Suzhou Chu Peng... hmm, all old acquaintances, and one who dealt with the senior sister before, Prince Huayang Zhang Rui, could it be the Empress hasn’t completely rectified him? Oh, and a monk from Xumi Vajra Sect, Monk Zongcuo."
Tang Xiaotang decisively said: "It’s that bald monk from Sumi who came!"
She looked to the distant horizon, faint golden thunder fire pulsating in her eyes: "Feels similar to that scoundrel named Sang Ji earlier, no wonder it seems so familiar!"
