Chapter 557: Chapter 302: New Situation in Yuzhou, Idea of Building a Flying Boat_2
Fang Hao, the Alliance Hierarch of the Yuzhou Alliance, met with Yuzhou's strongest person, Shen Tai, and reached some agreements. Moreover, Fang Hao made his appearance directly, putting pressure on the remaining Spirit Sects and aristocratic families.
The Yuzhou Alliance officially surfaced. And it smoothly took over the territories of the former Yushen Sect and the Su Family, which is now public knowledge.
Of course, when the territories were taken over, it was done under the guise of defeating the strongest members of the Shen family. The transaction with the Shen family was kept hidden and not exposed.
The Shen Family is a worldly family, and with its status, it can obtain some information about the Spirit Sect and worldly families privately.
Therefore, there is no need to expose each other's relationships. Once exposed, it would not be good for both parties.
After stabilizing the situation in Yuzhou, the Yuzhou Alliance officially secured its place.
In addition, it continued to issue regulations for loose cultivators and published principles about equal coexistence with the Spirit Sect and worldly families and equal sharing of resources, and so forth.
Furthermore, it continued to eliminate Spirit Sects and worldly families of the second rank and below. Only top-tier Spirit Sects and worldly families remain in Yuzhou. The situation has maintained a balance, with the Spirit Sect and worldly families representing one faction and the Yuzhou Alliance representing another.
As for Zheng Country, the Yuzhou Alliance did not interfere, allowing Zheng Country to continue maintaining its neutral and special status and performing some of its assigned tasks.
By now, the situation in Yuzhou had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Loose Cultivators truly have their place.
Besides that, Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques have started to be disseminated, garnered from the Yushen Sect and the Su Family.
Among the eighteen states of the Ling Domain, apart from Chenzhou where the Wanshi Alliance headquarters is located, Yuzhou is the only one of the other seventeen states that have genuinely carved out a place for Loose Cultivators and coexisted equally with the Spirit Sect and worldly families.
The name of Fang Hao, the Alliance Hierarch of Yuzhou, also began to spread in the Ling Domain. The Wanshi Alliance headquarters was shocked. The Alliance Hierarch of the Yuzhou Alliance had quietly changed to a different person.
Suddenly, he accomplished what the Wanshi Alliance had always wanted to complete.
Fang Hao continued to rectify Yuzhou, continually announcing a series of rules, setting up an intelligence system, constructing a communication system, replacing the outdated Flying Swallow message-delivery method.
He set up formations in the Spirit Crystal mines and built the great city of the Yuzhou Alliance.
After Shen Tai said he was powerless to prevent the Yuzhou Alliance, the other top-tier Spirit Sects and worldly families had no choice but to sign an agreement under Fang Hao's pressure.
Moreover, seeing the Shen Family seize the opportunity to expand their territory, taking over the territory and resources originally owned by second-tier and lower Spirit Sects and worldly families, they were also green with envy.
Normally, to take over the territory of a Spirit Sect or worldly family, there needs to be a proper reason. Moreover, they need to bring down the opposing party with their strength, and finally, they have to report to receive acknowledgment and approval from the upper sects.
Generally speaking, without a proper reason, it is not permitted to launch a full-scale attack to fully occupy the other Spirit Sects and worldly families. Otherwise, they will be punished by the upper sects.
These are the unspoken rules of the Spirit Sect controlling the entire Ling Domain; everything has to be carried out under the rules of the Spirit Sect.
However, the Wanshi Alliance is not bound by these rules, so it is very logical and appropriate for the Yuzhou Alliance to defeat the second-rank and lower Spirit Sects and worldly families, and for the Shen Family to take over opportunistically. Not only does this not violate the rules, but it is also considered preserving the territory of the Spirit Sect from loss.
Precisely because of this, after Fang Hao privately promised that they could have some territories and resources from the second-tier and lower Spirit Sects and worldly families, the remaining top-tier Spirit Sects and worldly families instantly agreed.
They completely ignored the pleas for help from the second-tier and lower Spirit Sects and worldly families. And so, the second-tier and lower Spirit Sects and worldly families were quickly annihilated.
Neither the Thousand Martial Hall nor Lei Yun Mountain Manor had the time to care about the situation in Yuzhou. After all, Yuzhou's overall strength is relatively weak and Zheng Country was not affected.
They tacitly maintained Zheng Country's special status, and that was enough.
The name of Fang Hao was also taken note of by the major Spirit Sects.
An enormous eagle was flying through the clouds in mid-air. On the eagle's back sat three people.
Zhu Xingzheng looked respectful, "Uncle Master, Miss Su said she can heal you. Since you're already in this state, treating a dead horse as though it's alive isn't a bad idea. If she can actually cure you, that would be a piece of good fortune."
Next to Zhu Xingzheng was a man with hair burnt black, the right half of his face also burnt black, breathing heavily, weak and infrequent, occasionally shaking his head as if trying to stay focused. His face turned even darker at the moment.
What does treating a dead horse as though it's alive mean?
"Fatty, does this kind of divine doctor really exist? If she can't heal me, then me agreeing to help your Wanshi Alliance this time would be a great loss."
Another person on the eagle's back sighed.
This was a beautiful woman, but on her soft cheeks was a patch of black as if a blemish on exquisite porcelain.
She was dressed in a gown that glowed brilliantly in the sunlight.
What was even more eye-catching, were the fin-like cicada wings on her elbows, which occasionally opened to reveal a fan shape that flowed with brilliant radiance.
Her slender attractive legs also bore similar fins at her ankles.
Sitting next to her, one could feel a sense of moisture, as if there were mist gathering around her.
The Sea Spirit Tribe!
A unique race of the Azure Sea and also its dominant race, the Sea Spirit Tribe.
"Don't worry senior, we should be able to cure them."
Zhu Xingzheng withdraws his smile, saying this without much certainty.
"We, the Wanshi Alliance, will not forget this favor. We will do everything in our power to find heaven-sent treasures that can restore your health."
The man with half of his face charred said solemnly.
"You should take care of yourself. Half of you is burnt."
The woman rolled her eyes and said.
The speed of the sixth-order spirit beast really attracted the attention of many martial artists, especially the powerhouses from the Spirit Sect noble families.
"If they are not people from the Yu Ling Mansion, how did the Wanshi Alliance manage to strike cooperation with the beast tribe?"
A Refining God Heavenly Man from the Cangyun Dynasty frowned.
"Are they heading to the Changqing Pavilion? It seems like the Changqing Pavilion belongs to the Wanshi Alliance."
Seeing the direction the eagle was heading, the faces of the Spirit Sect powerhouses darkened.
"Did Zhu Xingzheng come back?"
Su Lingxiu and Yue'er looked up at the eagle that appeared in the sky, a sixth-order spirit beast.
Li Xuan suddenly felt upset.
Looking at the golden deer, though it appeared valuable, it was still a sixth-order spirit beast. Moreover, riding a spirit beast did not highlight his superior status.
Among the powerhouses in the Spirit Realm, not all of them traveled by spirit beasts.
For instance, the people from the Yu Ling Mansion.
"Traveling by spirit beast is too common. As an extraordinary person, how can I be so ordinary?"
A thought came to Li Xuan with a flash of inspiration.
"The flying boat! How could I forget about it? I've mastered the artifact refining technique, the formation, and all restrictions. Why not refine a flying divine artifact?"
"Both the Spirit Realm or the entire Taicang do not have any flying divine artifacts or flying boats. As an extraordinary person, only traveling by flying boat can show my remarkable status."
The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more excited he became. The flying boat, which could be big or small, can be put into the storage ring when it's small, or become hundreds and even thousands of feet long when it's big...
"What a great idea! Why haven't I thought of that before? It's time to give Fang Hao something to do. He can refine a flying boat for me!"
Li Xuan looked up at the large eagle descending from the sky.
"Huh?"
He was a little surprised when his eyes landed on the Sea Spirit Tribe woman.
"Is this the Sea Spirit Tribe? They look really hydrated. Is it because they live in the sea?"
He involuntarily thought of mermaids in his mind.
Of course, there is a great difference between the Sea Spirit Tribe and mermaids.
Sea Spirit Tribe members below the Heavenly Man Realm aren't able to stay on land for too long. Once they break through to the Heavenly Man Realm, they can walk on land.
However, only those in the Refining God Heavenly Man Realm can freely roam the land for a long time without any impact.
But if they are severely injured, they must return to the water for a quicker recovery.
The Sea Spirit Tribe woman in front of them is severely injured. Due to her strong power, she can still walk on land without going back into the water to heal.
Moreover, her injuries are somewhat unique. Even if she returned to the water, she might not be able to recover.
"Miss Su, we have a patient!"
Zhu Xingzheng helped the man off the eagle's back.
"Quick, quick, lay down."
Su Lingxiu was excited and pushed the prepared sickbed. She asked the man to lie down.
Being looked at by the excited and eager Su Lingxiu shot down Jiao Li's expectations. How could a young girl possibly treat his injuries?
Could it be that Zhu Xingzheng had been tricked?
However, since he was already here, it didn't hurt to try. As Zhu Xingzheng said, there was nothing to lose; it was time to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive.
So, he laid on the sickbed.
