427 Cessation of Territory (Part 2)
(Thank you very much to "Book Friend 2053878" for quoting 3 monthly tickets for "The Demon King and the Crazy God" the day before yesterday! I will add updates for you next... Today I will resume normal updates.)
"Zhou Hao, you want us to evacuate within one day and give the ground to you. We just agree, why tie us up?"
"Yes, Zhou Hao, do whatever you want, we will do everything as we want, let us go soon!"
The Lord of the Demon Cloud Palace and the others blushed. The leader of the sect was tied into meat dumplings like prisoners of war. What's more, in front of their disciples, they wanted to dig a hole and drill in. Knowing that other tricks could no longer be played in front of Zhou Hao, they had to honestly agree to all conditions, hoping to avoid such humiliation.
When Zhou Hao saw the so-called overlord of Tianlai Island, he tied them up like meat dumplings. He was so happy that he cursed in his heart: Humph, let you be arrogant? Didn’t you be arrogant before? Didn’t you say you wanted me to destroy the family? Now you old dogs all fell into my hands. I wonder if you have ever thought about the arrival of this day? Hehe, it’s so cool!
He smiled and said to the Demon Cloud Palace Master, "Don't worry, I'm just a little wronged for a while. As long as you work hard, you will not suffer any flesh and blood. When your troops retreat and withdraw from the center of the island, I will give you freedom immediately."
After hearing Zhou Hao's words, these people completely gave up. The other party had already planned everything and would never give up until they achieved their goal. For the masters of the island these days, the humiliation they suffered from being tied up was even more painful than the flesh and blood.
"Oh, it's really a tiger falling into a flat sun and being bullied by a dog!" They could only admit that they were unlucky, and they were all dejected.
After capturing the leaders of several sects, it was easy to let the alliance army retreat. The major sects led by the Demon Cloud Palace hurriedly packed up all their belongings, then evacuated, and ceded their lairs to the Supreme Sect. It sounded fucking and ridiculous, but the heads of this sect fell into the hands of others. If they didn't do as they pleased, Zhou Hao wouldn't have any gloss on his face.
It can be said that after today, the various factions of Tianlai Island have completely lost their glory. The day of the rise of the Supreme Sect has arrived, and Tianlai Island will usher in a new overlord!
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to occupy the center of the main island so easily. Now even the richest resources and spiritual veins of the main island have fallen into the hands of my sect. It won't take long for the Taishang Sect to develop and Junlin Tianlai Island. Although it was a good thing that was ruined by the Fangxian Alliance, the Demon Heaven Sect's sects can't make any waves now, and they will be suppressed by me soon. It's up to me, Zhou Hao, who has the final say in Tianlai Island!"
Zhou Hao has been truly laughing for the first time in such a long time. He has never been so happy. A sense of pride has surged into his heart, and he is a little light. It has only been more than ten years. Who would have thought that he would have jumped from a humble outer disciple of Wanmeng Sect to become the overlord of Tianlai Island? Even he himself could not believe it!
When he compromised with Fangxian Alliance three days ago, he had planned to seize the territory in the center of the main island. On the one hand, it was a resource issue, and on the other hand, it could cut off the foundations of several factions. What was most important was that the major factions were now united and united to deal with the Taishang Sect, which was very troublesome. Now that the central area of the main island was occupied, the various factions could only lie in the four directions of the main island and be forced to disperse. If they wanted to join forces to deal with the Taishang Sect, there would be many inconveniences.
The Taishang Sect occupies the center and can monitor every move of each sect, and also facilitate the development of each sect, suppress them to the death, and facilitate their own rule.
Zhou Hao ordered people to arrange heavy troops to occupy the three deputy islands. At the same time, he also brought more than three million troops to take over the original Demon Heaven Sect, Demon Cloud Palace, Aolong Castle and Canglan Palace territory. All the architectural palace communities were intact and there was no need to be rebuilt. He just ordered people to re-arrange the defensive formation and the barrier would be possible.
Having just taken over the lairs of several sects, Zhou Hao immediately sent two very important orders to recruit the world's wandering cultivators again, claiming that the Supreme Sect will always open the door to all sects and welcome their joining. Another thing is that all the powerful sects on Guangzhao Tianlai Island must pay tribute to the Supreme Sect every year. In addition, they must never pay any tribute to the seven major sects, otherwise they will be against the Supreme Sect and will be killed without mercy!
The reason why we have to recruit a large number of casual cultivators is that many of the Taishang Sects are seconded from Qianji Tower and Wanmeng Sect. The Taishang Sect now occupies one-quarter of the main island, plus the three deputy islands, and its territory is several times larger than before. After the seconded people are returned, it will become weak to defend such a vast territory. At that time, the seven major sects will unite to launch a surprise attack, which is very likely to overthrow the sects.
Now that the territory and resources are available, we can recruit disciples in large quantities, and we no longer have to worry about not having any resources. If we recruit new disciples and need to be cultivated, it will take a long time and waste resources. It is better to recruit casual cultivators with advanced cultivation directly.
Other sects dare not recruit, for fear that too many cultivators would cause internal strife among the sects and thus overthrow the sects. Zhou Hao is not afraid. He has the soul-locking talisman for the crossing of the sects. As long as he planted a trick for the leaders of the cultivators, each of them would force them to be loyal to him and not be afraid of rebellion.
Another one is that in addition to the three deputy islands and main islands, Tianlai Island has tens of thousands of islands. Although it is scattered, the combined area is very large and the amount of resources cannot be underestimated. Previously, the seven major sects also asked for tribute from these small sects every year. Nearly half of the resources expenditure in the sect was paid by these small sects.
Now the Taishang Sect has become the largest sect on Tianlai Island, so it is natural to ask for tribute from the entire Tianlai Island sect. The survival of the weak has always been the survival rule here. The resources they handed over can enable the Taishang Sect to develop millions of troops. And it can also cut off the big head of resource supply developed by the Demon Heaven Sect and the Demon Cloud Palace. Why not do it?
At the Demon Cloud Palace, the major sects of the Demon Heaven Sect almost got angry when they heard the two notices issued by Zhou Hao. Zhou Hao was so amazing!
Originally, the center of the island where their headquarters is located gathered most of the resources of the main island, which is the main channel for their resources to supply several sects. In addition, the resources obtained by several major sects requested from other sects are also a major supply channel. The resources obtained can be provided to at least half of the disciples of this sect for daily practice.
Now that the two main resource channels have been cut off, their disciples cannot supply the resources needed for their daily practice. The days before that did not have to worry about resources will never return. In the future, these sects may have to mobilize most of their disciples to travel around the world to find resources for cultivation, and pay them to the sect. However, in this case, the disciples spent a lot of time on finding resources and could not practice well, which would be extremely unfavorable to the growth of the sect.
"This damn Zhou Hao, it is clear that we are willing to destroy us! Millions of disciples of the sect need a large amount of resources every day. Where can I find it? It's hateful!" The Lord of the Demon Cloud Palace stamped his feet and beat his chest, sighed to the sky, and couldn't even cry.
After cutting off the main resources of several factions and occupying the other party's nest, they will have to spend at least a long time to rebuild a new headquarters. In the future, they will have to be busy with the resources for cultivation and no longer have the energy to fight against the Supreme Teaching. Zhou Hao's two moves almost knocked out all the obstacles he followed.
A month later, the matter of the Supreme Sect finally settled. The headquarters was moved from the third deputy island to the main island, and a celebration was set up, and the watering seat was held for ten days to invite the leaders of all sects of Tianlai Island. First, they officially declared their status as overlord, and second, they also suggested to them, such small sects, to ask for tributes.
If anyone dares not come, he will despise the dominant position of the Supreme Sect. Zhou Hao will mercilessly destroy the sect to avoid future troubles.
Everyone understands the intention of the Taishang Sect. On the day of the celebration, except for the defeated sects, all the leaders of the Tianlai Island came to worship the court with heavy gifts. They carefully prepared the gifts and presented the best resources and treasures that the sect could hand over. Because the Taishang Sect did not specify the number of tributes this time, they were afraid that they would pay less tribute and would be retaliated against the new overlord and dared not hide their own personalities.
These days, the Taishang taught people to come and go, with bright lights and wine, and congratulations continued. Rows of flowing mats were placed in the square, and the sound of squeaking and cupping was endless. The people were crowded and it was very lively. At the same time, the generous gifts brought by various factions were piled up everywhere.
The people who came to pay tribute and congratulate the posts these days have been endless, but they are all Xiao Jingyuan, Chu Tianhuai and his disciples who are responsible for greeting each other. Zhou Hao only exposed the bottom of the celebration on the first day, and spent the rest of the time with his wife. A few days ago, she was neglected because of academic affairs and wanted to make up for it.
Now the old nests of Motian Sect, Aolong Castle, and Canglan Palace have been set as branch halls by him, and the main hall is set at the original site of Moyun Palace. Zhou Hao is not very familiar with the terrain route here, and he doesn't know what good scenery there is. At Shilan's suggestion, he accompanied his wife to a peach blossom forest at the foot of the mountain to enjoy the flowers.
Although autumn has begun, major sects like Moyun Palace will use formations to force the climate in the mountains. They are as warm as spring all year round, and the peach trees they plant are also extraordinary. They are full of flowers all year round, and there are many varieties of flowers, some are as bright as snow, some are as bright as dripping red, some are as blue as purple, some are as small as fingers, and some are as big as bowls, with fragrance all over the garden, which is very beautiful.
Not only Zhou Hao and his wife, but many young cultivators who followed the elders of the master to congratulate and worship also wandered in pairs in Taoyuan, grinding their ears and talking endlessly, and they were very sweet. Most of them had heard of Zhou Hao's reputation, but they had never seen him, so they did not recognize him, and they just thought Zhou Hao was an ordinary cultivator.
"Xiaoxu, don't run around!"
A string of tender childish voices as crisp as wind chimes made a joyful smile. A four- or five-year-old boy was running happily in the peach garden, and a young couple followed behind, shouting helplessly.
"ah!"
"oops!"
The child ran too fast and didn't look at the road. He immediately hit Shilan, who was only interested in watching the flowers, knocking her down. Fortunately, Zhou Hao held her in time. The boy was knocked to the ground, crying in pain, shouting, "It hurts so much!"
"Xu'er, how about it? Is it important? It hurts no matter where it hurts? Tell my mother that I will help you rub it and it won't hurt. Be good, don't cry." The couple hurried forward, and the woman picked up the child with a distressed heart and rubbed him, while comforting her softly.
The young husband was about to apologize to the person the boy bumped into, but before he could speak, he was so scared that his face turned pale and his whole body was weak. He stared at Zhou Hao in a daze, his lips trembling. He said, "Zhou, Master Zhou..."
He was shocked and thought that this time he was dead, his son actually hit the wife of the Supreme Master! He was so angry that he would kill this devil who was not blinking. He was afraid that his family of three would be given their lives here.
