Enter at the beginning to reach the semi-holy level and summon two great gods and demons

The director of the Ministry of Works didn't sleep well that night after hearing this news.

Heaven knows where the Emperor got five hundred sacred beasts, and where they were loaded, and sent all the way to the northern and southern borders...

"This... the two lords will know when they arrive," the palace guard said with a slight bow.

Wu Dijia, the director of the Ministry of Works, turned to look at Li Batian. The two took a slight breath and walked into the palace.

Xuanhuang Hall.

"Your humble servants pay homage to Your Majesty!" the two kowtowed.

"Rise," Xuan Ming waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Batian and Wu Dijia said respectfully.

"North of Kaiyang County in the northern part of the dynasty, I have ordered the construction of a new official road, four thousand miles long. Director Wu, you will dispatch manpower from the imperial capital and other places to build a transfer city every thousand miles. Minister Li, you will dispatch troops to garrison these four cities," Xuan Ming said, looking at the two of them, getting straight to the point.

As soon as Xuan Ming finished speaking, both of them were slightly shocked.

You must know that north of Kaiyang County is a vast mountain range, sparsely populated, and inhabited by ferocious beasts...

"Your humble servant accepts the decree," Director Wu of the Ministry of Works said, cupping his hands, as Li Batian felt puzzled and wanted to ask for details.

Li Batian opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't ask anything and simply accepted the decree.

Walking out of Xuanhuang Hall.

"North of Kaiyang County, the mountains there soar into the clouds, and the canyons in the mountains are not connected to each other. Who has the ability to open up an official road four thousand miles long in that place?"

Li Batian's tone was very puzzled.

It wasn't to question the Emperor's order.

But rather, he didn't believe in the existence of this official road.

You must know that building a thousand-mile official road on flat ground still requires a massive amount of manpower, let alone in the mountains? The canyons in those places are not connected, and if you want to open up roads, you must move mountains and dig caves!

But the mountains of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range are endless and undulating as far as the eye can see. Not to mention four thousand miles, even a hundred miles would take an unknown amount of time.

Moreover, there was a beast plague there some time ago!

"Lord Li, do you know about the batch of large iron cages that were transported from the Ministry of Works to the northern part of the dynasty some time ago?" Director Wu asked, looking at Li Batian.

"Of course, I know," Li Batian nodded.

The five hundred large iron cages were very conspicuous when they were transported out of the city from the Ministry of Works, so he had naturally heard of them.

But at this moment, he didn't understand what Wu Dijia meant.

"To be honest, this old minister also learned about this from a disciple. Now, in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, the news has been blocked at the border. If Lord Li wants to know, you must not leak it out, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable," Wu Dijia said with a mysterious look.

"Those iron cages were empty when they left the imperial capital, but when they were transported to the border, they were filled with sacred beasts!"

"It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to open up mountains and build official roads with human power!"

"But it is easy to drive sacred beasts, smash through mountains, push down mountain ridges, and connect mountain roads."

"His Majesty has focused on the Myriad Demon Mountain Range these days, establishing martial arts academies internally and setting up legions externally, and his actions are flawless. You and I, as court officials, should just carry out His Majesty's orders."

In fact, he only had a famous disciple in the north of the dynasty who happened to be in Kaiyang County and learned that the two hundred and fifty cages that were transported there were filled with sacred beasts.

But he hadn't received any news from the southern border.

But if the north is like this, the south must not be weak either.

Even if they are not sacred beasts, they must be something powerful.

From this point of view, the energy that the Emperor can mobilize is absolutely terrifying, and even in his hands, there is far more than just their lineage of court officials, and there may be other terrifying forces hidden in the dark.

However, the Director of the Ministry of Works also had some doubts.

He was a little curious about what was on the other side of the official road.

You must know that His Majesty should not have opened up such an official road in the mountains for no reason, but the Director of the Ministry of Works couldn't figure out the reason why His Majesty did this.

"I can only wait until I send someone to investigate," the Director of the Ministry of Works shook his head slightly and cupped his hands to Li Batian: "Dispatching skilled craftsmen from the dynasty is no small matter. This old minister will take a step first, Lord Li, farewell."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Batian to react.

The Director of the Ministry of Works turned and left.

He was a little impatient.

In his opinion, there must be some shocking news at the other end of this four-thousand-mile official road.

He now wants to dispatch manpower as soon as possible and rush there to see what is behind this four-thousand-mile official road that can make His Majesty open up such a long road in the vast mountains.

"Filled with sacred beasts..."

On the other side, Li Batian was struck by lightning.

You must know that the large iron cages transported out of the dynasty numbered as many as five hundred. If they were filled with sacred beasts, wouldn't that mean that there were five hundred sacred beasts at the Emperor's disposal?

"Hiss..." Li Batian gasped.

He was a little dazed and stood there in a daze.

The Director of the Ministry of Works had no reason to deceive him.

That is to say, these are all true.

But where did His Majesty get so many sacred beasts, and how did he drive them?

You must know that even the sacred beasts that have run out of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range in previous beast plagues have not reached this number!

Li Batian's whole body shook.

His body was almost soaked in cold sweat.

The Emperor can control so many sacred beasts, which means that His Majesty must also have an unknown terrifying force in his hands.

And this force, to some extent, has already surpassed the imperial court.

After all, even if the power of the entire imperial court is integrated, it cannot contend with five hundred sacred beasts!

But the Emperor can control it without anyone knowing.

This guess made Li Batian break out in a cold sweat.

Although the emperors of the past were powerful, the entire dynasty was vast and rich, and if they wanted to control it, they would inevitably need the full cooperation of court officials like them, even the late Emperor was the same.

But this generation of emperors seems to have a mysterious and terrifying organization in their hands that can control five hundred sacred beasts.

That is to say, the Emperor controls the entire dynasty, and it is not the same as the previous emperors. They may not be the only means, and they may be replaced.

If they don't work hard, losing power may only be a thought of the Emperor.

This made Li Batian shudder.

"Lord Wu, wait for me." Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Dijia's departing figure and quickly followed.

............

The Seventh Princess's residence!

"Have you found out? What exactly is going on?"

A trace of anger appeared on Xuan Xue's face. The underground passage had just been built, and she hadn't even gone down to check it. She had only received a report from her subordinates, and then, it was gone?

It took more than a month and wasted a lot of manpower and material resources.

In the end, it was just a numb foot and a sound?

Not only that, but even the house where she usually slept collapsed!

This made Xuan Xue feel uncomfortable no matter what.

And she couldn't help but suspect that the destruction of the underground palace was related to the suspected surveillance of her.

Therefore, she asked the middle-aged woman from the Ice Group to thoroughly investigate.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the collapse of the underground passage may be related to a large grasshopper beast lurking underground. Ice Group members saw it drill out of the ground at the house in the east of the city, and there were still fragments of the Ice Group's underground pillars on its body. It should have accidentally touched the pillars set up along the way during its activities, causing the underground passage to be unable to withstand the pressure of the hundred meters of soil above and collapse!" the middle-aged woman from the Ice Group said with a somewhat bad expression.

"Large grasshopper beast?"

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Xuan Xue's eyes narrowed.

However, although she was suspicious, she vaguely dismissed the idea that the collapse of the underground passage was related to being monitored.

You must know that the martial arts civilization in Nan Zhou is barren.

All they have is the most basic strength of martial arts, and they have not branched out on the basis of martial arts at all.

If this happened in the central world, she would still think that a beast tamer had secretly taken action, but Nan Zhou doesn't even have the most basic beast taming techniques. It is impossible for anyone to drive this large grasshopper beast.

"I really didn't expect that such a ferocious beast would live under the feet of this imperial capital..." Xuan Xue's eyebrows turned cold, which made her feel a little frustrated.

"Has the whereabouts of that Jiangyang bandit been found out?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, not yet. The government office of Tongyuan Prefecture has mobilized a large number of people and is tracking down this person's whereabouts," the middle-aged woman from the Ice Group shook her head slightly.

"Speaking of which, it's really a bit strange." Xuan Xue rubbed her eyebrows.

How could it be such a coincidence that after the Ice Group auctioned off the techniques and other items she gave them, a half-Saint Great Perfection expert appeared and attacked the Ice Group, robbing them of all their money?

"I'm really convinced, nothing has gone smoothly recently!" Xuan Xue took a deep breath and waved her hand: "You can go down, this princess is a little tired!"

"Yes, Your Highness." The middle-aged woman from the Ice Group bowed slightly and took her leave.

Underground, a large grasshopper beast with a body length of ten meters suddenly flashed red and turned into a person.

"Event: Lord God Monarch's incense divine power is the most wonderful energy in the world, and it can materialize anything. This temple host deliberately transformed into a ferocious beast to destroy the underground passage in order to dispel the Seventh Princess Xuan Xue's doubts. Sure enough, as soon as she heard it was a ferocious beast, the Seventh Princess Xuan Xue immediately dismissed her doubts... Although those Ice Group members showed annoyance and anger on their faces, it's meaningless. The imperial capital is under Lord God Monarch's surveillance, and no one is allowed to move the earth!" Red Sand Cult Master wrote, and then a red light flashed and disappeared into the soil.

At the same time.

Xishan Prefecture, Bianlang County!

Weishan Territory!

A red light suddenly shone brightly on the top of Weishan Mountain, and thousands of divinities gathered.

A golden-armored and burly god appeared above Tianhu Lake.

The golden light was dazzling, and Meng Xingchen and the wild boar under him couldn't open their eyes.

However, although this golden-armored and burly god revealed various powerful auras, it did not have any vitality, as if it were just an empty shell.
