Chapter Seventeen: Words of Reason
A few days later, the central government of the court formally responded and sent envoys to the Dao Kingdom to give the most serious warning, requiring them to hand over the young island lord Xuan Ning within seven days, otherwise, don't say that they are not prepared!
At the same time, the entire Lingnan Province and the whole province were also issued.
From now on, Lingnan Province officially entered the wartime. After receiving the order, the prefectures, county magistrates, and county magistrates summoned local tyrants and families, opened the imperial arsenal, summoned veterans, and summoned good families to join the army. The first wave of mobilization began in accordance with the mobilization system that had been built long ago.
At the same time, a number of cultivators in the Purple Palace Realm, Yin Shen Zhenren and even Yang Shen Zhenren responded to the call of the court, joined the responding organization, and were ready to fight at all times.
Even when the news was completely spread, the entire Chu was in full bloom. Many heroes from other provinces also brought their own dry food, rode chariots, and came to Lingnan Province in groups.
This is based on the situation where the court just announced its mobilization. Once the war really begins, there will be more than just a few heroes coming from all over the country!
In Da Chu, personal strength is the most important, and secondly, the most important thing is military merit.
Xiong Yan was very happy about the imperial court's orders over the past few days. Without saying a word, he began to strictly follow the wartime mobilization system and train the army.
"This battle must be fought. No matter what Xuan Ning said, he is also the young Taoist lord on the opposite side. If he was an ordinary Taoist priest, he might have handed over it, but..."
However, Xuan Ning was a disciple of the Taoist ancestor in his previous life. The Taiping Dao sect in this life is also the direct sect of the Taoist ancestor.
Just in this past life, can he not support him in the Taiping Dao where he lives in this life?
If you don’t support it, this is to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor! Do you still want the title of Taoist ancestor?
Without the blessing of this name, why should Taipingdao develop so quickly?
"In my opinion, Xuan Ning will definitely not sit still and wait for death next time. Unfortunately, the imperial court does not have many nails in the Dao Kingdom. If you are uneasy, how much power can there be after a large-scale civil strife?"
"Your Highness, you just think too much. Maybe Xuan Ning will surrender directly? However, this seems unlikely."
"And what we should do now should be to train the army, win over the powerful families, and organize the internal structure?"
"Indeed, I'm thinking too much, it's completely unnecessary."
On the other hand, in the Taoist country, there is also a discussion at this moment.
Here is a pavilion, surrounded by countless tall trees.
In the pavilion, there were ten old Taoist priests, all of whom were really old Taoist priests. At least, on the surface, they all looked white-haired.
If the people of the Taoist Kingdom are here, they will recognize the identities of these ten people, the nine elders of the Taoist Kingdom and the lord of the Taoist Kingdom, that is, the contemporary Taoist lord.
The system of the Taoist country is quite strange. Yes, it is indeed very strange in the eyes of the people of Da Chu.
In the eyes of cultural people, the system of Taoism and the system of Dachu is completely different.
The biggest one in the Taoist Kingdom is the Taoist Lord, but Taoist Lord often doesn’t care much. He is already a true immortal, and he is also a genuine true immortal who he has cultivated himself. How can he be interested in dealing with government affairs frequently?
Therefore, the Taoist lord usually only cares about major matters and controls the general direction. As for the other minor matters, they are left to the nine elders to handle.
These nine elders were elected by the Taoist priests below based on various factors such as strength and personal style.
According to convention, four of them came from major Taoist sects. Only those sects whose ancestors had produced true immortals and whose true immortals were still alive were considered major sects.
There are two people who come from small sects, that is, sects that do not have true immortals.
There are two more, pure casual cultivators, selected from the casual cultivators.
The last person is directly designated by the Taoist lord after he took office. Moreover, both the elders and the Taoist lord have tenure.
More importantly, the Presbyterian Church where the nine elders are located has the right to impeach the Taoist lord. Of course, this is inseparable from a treasure.
The treasure of the Dao Kingdom's country is a wishful wish. It is said to be a treasure used by the Dao ancestors back then, and it is an ancient spiritual treasure.
Once the Taoist master holds this spiritual treasure, he can have combat power at the level of the ancients in a short period of time.
With the blessing of the right place and the blessing of a large number of Taoist priests, as long as you don’t meet the top gods like the Eastern Prince and the Western Queen Mother, there will be nothing wrong.
Top immortals like the Eastern Prince and the Western Queen Mother are not interested in being strongly promoted to the Taoist Kingdom, so they are simply in vain.
It is precisely because of the suppression of this treasure that the Taoist country has always occupied the rainforest and has continued to continue. It has even developed slowly and its strength has gradually increased.
The true master of this treasure is of course not the Taoist lords of all dynasties. They, as well as the nine elders of the Presbyterian Church, have the authority to control this treasure.
Once seven of the nine elders choose to remove the Taoist lord at the same time, the Taoist lord will automatically lose control of this treasure.
Once nine of the nine elders choose to dismiss the Taoist lord at the same time, Ruyi will even take action automatically and directly suppress the Taoist lord.
It is precisely because of this that the Taoist lords and elders have always been relatively harmonious on the surface throughout the ages. Once there is a discord, it will be very disharmonious.
At this moment, the ten people didn't say anything, just secretly transmitting voices. After all, there are too many time-retrospective spells in this world.
Sometimes, if you can stop talking, just send a message, and your spiritual communication is better. At this moment, ten people are communicating spiritually.
"The envoy of the Great Chu has arrived and has even set a seven-day date to ask us to give an explanation. What do you think about this?"
"Oh, there's nothing I can do, there's really nothing I can do. Da Chu's strength is really too strong. Moreover, Da Chu is still responsible for this matter. If it really needs to be fought, the friends of the Taoist sect will not even take the initiative to help."
"Without the help of these Taoist friends, relying solely on ourselves, there is really no way. Otherwise, after all these years, we wouldn't have been secretly causing trouble."
If the Great Chu invaded the Taoist Kingdom for no reason, then if everyone calls their friends, there will definitely be many Taoist real people and even true immortals who come to help.
However, this time the Dao Kingdom was in the wrong. Moreover, Da Chu did not say that he had to kill the young Taoist lord. The biggest possibility was to be monitored for life and live in the inland. This result was already very reasonable.
And if you don’t even agree to this condition, then in the eyes of outsiders, the one who is unreasonable will be the Taoist country.
