Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Chapter 68 The Empress Selects a Concubine

In ten years, Taiyuan City has regained its former prosperity. Although the population has not yet recovered to its former size, the economy has far surpassed it.

Under the expedition of the Red Armor Army and the Black Armor Army, the barbaric tribes closer to Taiyuan City were either destroyed or surrendered.

Under the deterrence of military force, these frightened tribes chose to trade with Taiyuan City. A large influx of exotic beast resources caused the number and quality of Taiyuan City's troops to rise steadily. Among them, apart from the Red Armor Army and the Black Armor Army, the strongest force was called the Taiyuan Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

This is a force covered in full armor and riding on strange beasts that look like tigers and leopards. Its combat effectiveness has been demonstrated in several wars caused by rebels.

The Wu Dynasty was not peaceful during the past ten years.

After Baili Wen left, Princess Li Qiuhai of the Wu Dynasty succeeded to the throne and became the new generation of empress of the Wu Dynasty.

This empress was not one who would surrender. Under Baili Wen's torture, Li Qiuhai hated outsiders like the Wanshou Sect very much. With the help of a group of diehard fans and those rebels operating in secret, he also created a lot of noise. Unfortunately, due to the huge gap in strength, they were defeated one by one, and countless people who once stood at the pinnacle of the martial arts world fell.

Inside the Wu Dynasty Palace

Lin Wanhai, the person in charge of the expedition of the small world of Wanshoumen this time, said to the gorgeously dressed and noble empress in front of him: "Stop making trouble, it's meaningless."

"Make trouble? This is my Li family's world. You demons have occupied our world and killed my father and brother. You actually say I'm making trouble?" Liu Qiuhai said with a ferocious face.

"I'm sorry." Lin Wanhai was very dissatisfied with Baili Wen's behavior. If the Baili family was not too powerful and Baili Wen was not the direct descendant of the Golden Immortal, he would have to pay the price.

"Will it work? All my relatives are dead. Either you kill me, or I will keep doing this." Li Qiuhai pointed at Lin Wanhai and shouted.

"After so many years, you should know our strength, and this is just a small and insignificant force of our sect. If you really want revenge, I suggest you cooperate with us and become our subordinate small world. Then you still have a chance of revenge." Lin Wanhai suggested.

"Will you help us get revenge? Are you insulting my intelligence?" Li Qiuhai sneered.

Lin Wanhai scratched his head, and finally described the general framework of the Wanshou Sect to the stubborn empress, and told her about Baili Wen, the culprit who killed his relatives.

As for the consequences, what consequences could there be? It was Baili Wen who broke the rules first. Although the Lin family did not have a Golden Immortal, it was also an old-fashioned celestial immortal family. His Baili family did not belong to Baili Wen yet, and Lin Wanhai had already been determined to be the next head of the Lin family. If it were not for the purpose of accumulating qualifications, he would have broken through to the Mahayana stage long ago and started preparing to become an immortal.

Lin Wanhai was in a very good mood after persuading the empress. In fact, the royal families of these conquered small worlds lived a pretty good life after becoming subordinate small worlds of the Wanshou Gate. Some of them were even considered powerful within the Wanshou Gate.

In the study room of the imperial palace, Liu Qiuhai took out a jade plaque with cracks on it, with the word "Li" engraved on the front and "Hai" engraved on the back. He remained silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "Father, please don't blame your daughter."

The next day, the empress, who had been on the throne for ten years, issued an imperial decree to select a "concubine" for the harem, causing an uproar throughout the country.

Taiyuan City

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiuge looked confused and said to Chen Kui who came to inform him: "You said that the empress has started to choose concubines?" "Yes, maybe someone persuaded her. If she can't beat them, she can join them. After all, it was Baili Wen who murdered her relatives, not us?" Chen Kui was also helpless.

They spared no effort to improve the people's livelihood in Taiyuan City and build a strong army, intending to seize some cities that were not under the command of the disciples of Wanshoumen. Due to the lack of cooperation from the empress, no one would care about such matters. But now it seems that this is not possible. After all, Wanshoumen is a relatively upright sect and is still very friendly to those small worlds.

"I'll go find out what's going on." Chen Jiuge began to contact Zhu Yinghuang.

"Brother Zhu, what's the situation with this empress?" Chen Jiuge couldn't wait to ask as soon as he heard it.

"Brother Chen, what else could it be? Lin Wanhai made the empress make a fuss for ten years, and finally convinced her. It seems that this mission has failed. It's really infuriating." Zhu Yinghuang said gritting his teeth.

"What is the specific situation?" Chen Jiuge asked.

"Well, I'll let my sister tell you about this." Zhu Yinghuang laughed.

"Is it Senior Brother Chen?" Zhu Yingque asked softly.

"Junior sister, what is the situation now?" Chen Jiuge continued to ask.

"Even if the empress agrees to join our Wanshou Sect and has the righteousness of the Wu Dynasty, we cannot start a war now. All we have to do next is to contact the rebels in various places and determine which ones are resisting to the end and which ones are willing to surrender. Then the empress will eliminate them herself to prove her ability. As for us, we will probably just come here to travel." Zhu Yingque was also a little discouraged.

Unlike other small worlds, the martial arts world was originally a unified dynasty. As long as the royal family was willing to surrender, and the Wanshou Gate gave some help to help her clear the obstacles, she could easily take it over.

"By the way, what position did Senior Brother Chen choose when he came? If he becomes a general or something like that, he'd be at a loss without a base. The elders above seem to be planning to give our group of disciples some compensation. The cities we occupied before seem to belong to individuals. If we don't have them, then forget it. Don't try to occupy the cities now. The consequences of not following the rules will be very serious." Zhu Yingque warned.

"I understand." Chen Jiuge agreed.

"It's really like traveling." Chen Kui also smiled bitterly.

“Fortunately, Taiyuan City is not small and the resources are pretty good. I can obtain a large number of exotic beasts, which are quite effective for body refining, so it’s not a loss.” Chen Kui comforted himself.

A world war was averted when the empress publicly issued an edict to select a "concubine".

No one knew the result. Those disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect who felt there was no hope of a breakthrough and wanted to build a foundation were wailing all over the place. It was rare to have such a good opportunity to expand a small world without the presence of the Demon Abyss. The next time, they might not even be able to wait until their lifespans ran out.

This incident was somewhat of a blow to the cultivators of the Chen family. After all, they had mobilized such a large number of manpower this time just to carve out a larger territory for the Chen family, to support a second true immortal, and to expand the family's power. They had never expected that after sharpening their swords for ten years, they were told that they didn't need to unsheathe their swords before they even unsheathed them. It was over.

The commotion outside did not disturb Chen Jiuge. He was already very satisfied with having a Taiyuan City. Now he should seize the time to integrate the martial arts training system of this world into his own practice. Also, the strange beasts here seemed a little special. Maybe he could get a few powerful thugs.
