Chapter 362: Agitation of People's Lives

"Excellent, truly worthy of being my five tiger generals," the Qin Emperor said as he listened to the battle report, smiling at the nearby You Fenghuang and her four female companions. As for Nezha and King Huangfeng, they didn't seem to care much. If they were to join the battle, it would surely be even more earth-shattering.

You Fenghuang, Daji, and Xiaoli had already become accustomed to the stunning performances of the new recruits under the Qin Emperor. However, Wang Xue was different. She had only recently followed the Qin Emperor and had not yet adapted to his methods.

"It's hard to believe the rumors without seeing it with my own eyes," Wang Xue sighed. She used to hear about the legendary deeds of the Qin Emperor, and although she admired him, she never took it seriously, as rumors tend to be exaggerated. But what she had seen and heard recently made her realize the depth of the Qin Emperor.

She was curious about what was behind the Qin Emperor. Could it really be his own charm?

"At this rate, it's estimated that we'll be able to conquer the unclaimed territories in less than half a month," You Fenghuang said with a smile, holding a scroll of news. The others also laughed upon hearing this. The unclaimed territories were rich in resources and had a large number of cultivators. If they could control them, the Great Qin would surely soar.

Nezha was feeling frustrated. "I still haven't led an army into battle yet," he grumbled.

King Huangfeng, on the other hand, didn't mind as long as he lived comfortably. He wasn't keen on fighting, as the courage of a mouse can only be so great.

The Qin Emperor laughed, "Don't worry, when we go to the Holy Dynasty, you will have plenty of opportunities to take action."

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the hall were surprised. Did this mean they were going to cause a commotion in the Holy Dynasty?

Cheng Yi, who now served as the lord of Shacha City, cautiously advised, "Your Majesty, please don't act rashly."

The other capable individuals recruited by the system also joined in the persuasion. The Qin Emperor trusted these people because their consciousness had been altered by the system to be forever loyal to him.

"A tall tree catches the wind, sooner or later we will have to face the towering tree of the Holy Dynasty. I don't want to be under someone else's control for long," the Qin Emperor said with a smile, though his tone was unquestionable.

The others looked at each other, understanding the Qin Emperor's ambition. He wanted to surpass the Holy Emperor and become the number one in the world.

"Alright, continue to increase the recruitment efforts and the speed of the siege!" the Qin Emperor said, waving his hand.

Recruiting soldiers involved many things and required a large amount of manpower and resources. Therefore, apart from the Qin Emperor and a few others, the civil and military officials at all levels were very busy every day.

...

The Five Tiger Generals quickly became the most talked-about five generals in the unclaimed territories. As for Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, and others, they had long been famous. No matter how earth-shattering their actions were, people had become accustomed to them.

"Wow, where did the Qin Emperor find the Five Tiger Generals?"

"Yeah, they are unstoppable on the battlefield!"

"You didn't see Zhao Yun single-handedly charge into a million-strong army, it's so inspiring!"

"Huang Zhong's archery skills are amazing, he can hit the enemy general's head from ten miles away."

"Ma Chao is also very strong!"

Many cities were discussing the Five Tiger Generals. The elders of the Southern Ming Holy Sect had only reached the Illusory Realm, and in the Black Burning God Sect, those in the Earthly Immortal Realm could also hold high positions. The Black Burning God Sect and the Four Gods Sect could dominate the unclaimed territories, showing that the distribution of power in the unclaimed territories was pyramid-shaped.

The higher the realm, the fewer the people. The mainstream was mainly in the Illusory Realm, with few in the Earthly Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortal Realm, and even fewer in the True Immortal Realm. Most of them were casual cultivators or sect leaders, and very few participated in wars.

Four days passed.

The monthly opportunity for the divine and demonic instance arrived.

The Qin Emperor began to consider who should go back. He had to send back the potential gods, otherwise, their strength would not increase much upon returning, such as Guan Yu, who had only broken through one major realm, but fortunately, he had brought back many people.

Yuan Hong's strength could not be improved, as he had almost reached the peak, but he could bring back the other six monsters of Meishan.

Nezha was also good, and he had good connections.

Li Bai... forget it...

Daji and Xiaoli, the Qin Emperor didn't want them to take risks for the time being.

The limitations of Fahai, Sha Wujing, and the Black and White Impermanence were too great. He would let them go back when there were more opportunities in the future.

"Summon Tai Bai Xingjun," the Qin Emperor said to Daji, who was massaging his back. Although Daji was somewhat puzzled as to why Tai Bai Xingjun was being summoned at this time, she did not ask and went directly to the door.

Just as she pushed open the door, You Fenghuang walked in. The two women nodded to each other in acknowledgment before passing by.

"Your Majesty, I have good news. Do you want to hear it?" You Fenghuang smiled.

"What good news could there be?" the Qin Emperor asked without looking up from his book. In the past four days, dozens of cities had fallen under the banner of Great Qin, and it was expected that within five days, the unclaimed territories would be completely under his control.

The five heroes of the righteous path were full of resentment, but there was nothing they could do. Even the nine powerful figures of the demonic path dared not cause trouble for the Qin Emperor.

"Your subordinate, Zhang Jiao, has achieved something for you," You Fenghuang said with a smile.

Zhang Jiao?

The Qin Emperor blinked and looked up at her, asking, "What did Zhang Jiao do?"

Zhang Jiao's cultivation was not strong, but he possessed a natural ability to influence people's hearts. He could be considered a hidden ace in the Qin Emperor's hands, but unfortunately, due to his weak cultivation, the Qin Emperor had not deployed him to the battlefield of the unclaimed territories.

"He wandered among several kingdoms surrounding the Great Qin Kingdom, having many followers. Now the followers have rebelled, and a total of three kingdoms have directly turned their coats, formally declaring their incorporation into the Great Qin Kingdom," Fenghuang said with a smile, a look of curiosity appearing on her face.

How did Zhang Jiao manage to do it?

Conquering three kingdoms without spending a single soldier or a single soldier...

The King of Qin was also stunned. It had only been a few months?

It seemed that he had underestimated Zhang Jiao's abilities.

"No, we need to enhance Zhang Jiao's cultivation and make good use of him!"

The King of Qin thought to himself. He quickly looked up and said to Fenghuang, "Hurry, go after the Queen and tell her not to seek out Taibai Venus, but to have Zhang Jiao come to see me instead!"

Upon hearing this, Fenghuang instinctively asked, "Why is that?"

"I want to enhance Zhang Jiao's cultivation!" the King of Qin said in a deep voice. Fenghuang widened her beautiful eyes upon hearing this and quickly turned to go after Daji.

"System, which parallel worlds can Zhang Jiao go to?" the King of Qin asked in his mind.

"Like Guan Yu, he can go to the Western Journey Time and the Eastern Han Dynasty period in the Chinese world," the system replied, which relieved the King of Qin. With Zhang Jiao's eloquence, it wouldn't be difficult for him to join a sect.

After all, the Western Journey Time was a world where immortals and gods ruled, and there were still many cultivation sects. It's just that Journey to the West didn't mention them much.

When Zhang Jiao returned, he could arrange for him to enter the Holy Dynasty, and then give the Holy Emperor an unexpected surprise. [End of this chapter]
