The Dao Ting Luang Hall, the ten pillars of the court are all present, as are the patriarchs of the major sects of the Tiansu Holy City. The main force that makes up the army of the Daoist Court of Tai Su is the strength of these sects. In addition to this are the many scattered cultivators.
The Hopewell Dao Saint Emperor, apart from Kang Xiushan, no one else came. Kang Xiushan seemed to be very keen on the affairs of the Dao Court, and every time Ning Cheng held a big Allied Hall meeting, he was bound to arrive.
Ning Cheng swept the Allied Hall crowd, knowing that as his position as a Daoist Monarch became more and more secure, these patriarchs, who were originally considered to be working with him, would become increasingly uneasy in their hearts.
“Court Pillars, Sovereigns and Daoists, because of the difference between my Tai Su Daoist Court and the Tai Yi Realm, we normally do things by consultation. Except for the last time when I had an urgent matter, which is why I issued a Daoist Monarch Order. I also thank the many Daoist Court armies for not forgetting me and bringing their armies to Tai Su Market to help me.
What was the reason why I, Tai Su, was able to defeat the invading Daoist court army of Tai Yi? I believe all of you know that it was because of unity. Because our Tai Su Daoist Court was united, this is why we were able to win against the weak and achieve victory.”
When Ning Cheng’s words were spoken, there were many people who did not think so in their hearts. Because of unity this was why they had won with weakness, I’m afraid not. The reason why the Tai Su Realm was able to defeat the Tai Yi Daoist Court Army was because of Ning Cheng’s Hidden Trap and Kill Formation, and honestly, it had nothing halfway to do with the regiment level before winning with weakness.
Ning Cheng’s words turned, his face sank and his tone became much harsher, “But I found that our Tai Su Daoist Court Army, instead of realizing the impending crisis, began to infight. I then heard that several Daoist Court soldiers were executed. It is chilling that our Daoist Court Army did not die on the battlefield, but at the hands of our own people. Every Daoist Court soldier is our treasure, if they are executed at will, what cohesion is left in my Tai Su Daoist Court Army?”
A man surrounded by watery dao rhythms suddenly stepped out from the side, bowed and said, “The Daoist Monarch is here, Gong Mu has something to say.”
All the people looked at Gong Mog, the clan leader of the Silver Dragon Clan, in shock. Such actions and words. It was completely done as if Ning Cheng was a Dao Monarch, without any half-pride component. One should know that although Ning Cheng was a Daoist Monarch, most of the court pillars would at most just clasp their fists when they spoke. This was also a major characteristic of the Tai Su Dao Court. Now that Gong Mu bowed and saluted, calling out that the Dao Monarch was above him, was he not truly acknowledging Ning Cheng’s status as a Dao Monarch?
However, after a brief thought, the crowd understood. The words that Ning Cheng had said earlier were clearly meant to settle scores after the autumn. The several people who were executed for causing trouble. They all came from Fei Feng’s Fourth Daoist Court Army. And Fei Feng was the one who had opposed going out of the army in response to Ning Cheng’s Daoist Monarch Order, and was the first to stand up and respond to Ning Cheng this time because Gong Mu had hesitated and not fished out the army before.
Ning Cheng nodded and said quietly, “Gong Tingzhu has something to say, please.”
Gong Mu took out a jade slip and said aloud, “Within a month, in the Fourth Daoist Court Army, because of a small complaint incident. As many as sixteen soldiers of the Daoist Court army have been executed. This tactic has not only failed to stop the complaints, but the number of complaining Daoist court soldiers is increasing. Many of the soldiers began to quit the Daoist Army, and this even spread to the rest of the Daoist Army. Court Minister Misty thinks that if this continues, my Daoist Court will collapse without a fight.”
After saying this, Court Fog directly presented the jade slip and handed it to Ning Cheng.
Gong Mou called himself Tingchen and directed his target at Fei Feng.
Fei Feng’s face was a little ugly when Ning Cheng was preparing to settle scores after the autumn. Now Gong Mog was falling down the well to curry favour with Ning Cheng. He had a face that was even darker like a pot.
After Ning Cheng read the jade slip, his face was calm as he looked at Li Feng and asked, “Li Tingzhu, is this matter true?
Li Feng stepped forward. Similarly, he bowed and saluted, “Daoist monarch is above, Tingchen Feng has investigated this matter and it is completely true.”
Li Feng also bowed to Ning Cheng with true Daoist Monarch etiquette, clearly wanting to support Ning Cheng in becoming a true Daoist Monarch, rather than continuing to be an intermediary for discussions anymore.
Fei Feng saluted and walked out. Cupping his fist, he said, “Daoist Monarch Ning, this is true, but those ten or so people are demonizing the Dao Court Army. I killed one to make an example of them in order to stabilize the Daoist court army.”
Ning Cheng said in a flat voice, “Sovereign Fei, the Fourth Daoist Court Army is given to you to lead, it does not belong to you personally. Just like me taking control of the Dao Court, the Dao Court is likewise not something personal to me. When I have something, I need to discuss it with the people as well. But you, Sovereign Fei, not only did you not discuss such an important matter, but you even used capital punishment on your own. If this continues, the Tai Su Daoist Court army will not need to be pulled out, it will automatically collapse.”
Fei Feng’s face was ugly as he looked at that Daoist Fu, only to find that the Daoist Fu who had once encouraged him had not even tried to say half a word at that moment, and he was immediately disappointed in his heart.
In a helpless manner, Fei Feng had to say, “In that case, I will give the fourth dao court army to the vice patriarch.”
Ning Cheng waved his hand, “It is not up to you to decide who to hand over the Daoist Court Army to, Fei Feng you have disregarded the laws of my Tai Su Daoist Court Army’s system and as a Daoist Court Pillar, you are still acting in your own way. You are now stripped of your status as a pillar of the court, and the Fourth Daoist Court Army will be replaced by Frustrated Fang scar, who will become one of the ten pillars of the court, ranked tenth.”
Frustrated Fang scar hurriedly stood out and performed the full salute before accepting the great seal of the court pillar.
Fei Feng coldly snorted, turned around and left.
Ning Cheng said in a faint voice, “Sovereign Fei cannot leave yet, the Tai Su Dao Court is going to hold you for a period of time, you must wait until the matter is resolved before you can leave.”
Fei Feng’s face changed drastically as he stared at Ning Cheng and said in a stern voice, “Sect Master Ning Cheng, you are taking personal revenge.”
Ning Cheng didn’t even bother to speak, Frustrated Fang Trace had long since stepped forward, and several Dao Rhythm powers wrapped around Fei Feng. Fei Feng’s hand moved slightly and was about to sacrifice a magic treasure to resist. When he saw the several formation flags in Ning Cheng’s hand, his heart went cold. He knew that if he resisted, he was afraid that he would really be killed in court.
Ning Cheng’s methods, he had long seen, even the Daoist monarch of the Taiyi Liujiao Dao Court, did not escape from Ning Cheng’s hands, he Fei Feng in front of the frustrated Fang scar who was stronger than him, and Ning Cheng’s trapped formation, he could escape?
A moment of hesitation, Frustrated Fang scar has locked up Fei Feng. Seeing that the momentum was over, Fei Feng let out a long sigh and did not continue his movements.
Na Dai Fu frowned slightly, she did not expect Ning Cheng to not only deprive Fei Feng of all his Daoist court positions, but also to lock him up, unable to sit still any longer, Na Dai Fu stood out and said, “Daoist monarch Ning, I don’t think this is appropriate. Fei Feng is a pillar of the First Court, even if he killed a few low ranking soldiers, it is not necessary to lock him up, right?”
Ning Cheng nodded, “Then the words of the Patriarch are justified, and naturally I, the Tai Su Daoist Court, should listen to everyone’s opinions as well.”
After saying that Ning Cheng looked at the rest of the sect patriarchs on the Allied Hall, as well as the major court pillars and asked, “Who else shares that patriarch’s opinion? Please speak up.”
That Dai Fu’s heart was equally cold, Ning Cheng’s tactics were a little too powerful. Just now, he did not address Fei Feng Tingzhu, but called him Sovereign Fei, and in the blink of an eye, Sovereign Fei was locked up. Now he was calling himself that Patriarch, it was impossible for her not to get a chill in her heart. It was true that there was a Hedao in the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, but the Hedao was not here. Even if it was here, there was still a Kang Xiushan here.
Taking a step back, if Kang Xiushan didn’t make a move, this Ning Cheng had killed a Hedao Saint Emperor back then. And the one he killed was also a Barbarian Shahetian who was stronger than the Nine-Turn Sacred Dao Pond Hedao. Now that Ning Cheng’s strength has increased again and he has more helpers, I’m afraid that even if the Shiyi Qing Daoist Ancestor comes, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
The more that Na Dai Fu thought about it, the more frightened she was, unknowingly, Ning Cheng was powerful to this extent.
No one came forward to speak for Na Dai Fu, everyone was not blind. It was almost an iron-clad fact that Ning Cheng had achieved the position of True Daoist Monarch. In front of such a fact, who would have no brains to stand out against it?
“Then Sovereign, since you are the only one who is of this opinion, you need to keep your opinion to yourself. Frustrated Tingzhu, take away Fei Feng and our Allied Hall Assembly will continue.”
With Ning Cheng’s words, Frustrated Fang scar turned around and disappeared carrying Fei Feng without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Cheng took over a Daoist court army with a strong stance, and also took the court pillars directly. The atmosphere in the allied hall was somewhat odd up and even more solemn.
Ning Cheng continued, “I am afraid that the Taiyi Realm will not stop there, so I suggest that an eleventh court protection army be established. I have already discussed this matter with the several great court pillars, and now that everyone is here, I would like to ask for your opinions.”
It’s strange to have an opinion, who would have an opinion when your Daoist court army has been established? Fei Feng, who had an opinion before, doesn’t know when he will see the light of day.
The crowd has come forward to echo the sentiment, saying they have no opinion.
Ning Cheng also stood up and clasped his fist in thanks before continuing, “The difference in resources between my Tai Su Realm is too great, and there are too many restrictions on entering and leaving Tai Su Market and Tai Su Domain. I hereby propose that these access restrictions be removed and the Tai Su Realm be completely fused into one.”
This time no one came forward to take a stand, the crowd here were all the patriarchs of the major clans in the Tai Su Domain. Their interests were all in the Tai Su Domain, and if the many people in Tai Su Market were to flood in, then their interests would be directly harmed.
Ning Cheng would not compromise on this matter; if he wanted to keep the Tai Su Realm, he had to take control of the Tai Su Daoist Court Army. Don’t look at the fact that the Tai Su Dao Court Army was almost all led by him now, in fact this was when there was no conflict of interest. Once there was a conflict of interest, I was afraid that it would not be this lopsided.
And the Tai Su Dao court army, almost dominated by the power of the major sects of the Tai Su domain. In case he clashes with the interests of the major sects, these Tai Su army will not be on his side. Now he is opening up the Tai Su domain in order to allow the power of the Tai Su market to merge in.
Instead of letting this conflict arise in the future, it would be better to pick it apart earlier.
“Li Feng agrees with opening up the Tai Su Domain and removing the restrictions on entering the Tai Su Domain from the Tai Su Ruins.” Li Feng of the Du Xuan Ancient Clan was the first to stand up in solidarity for Ning Cheng.
The second person to stand up was Sha Su, who walked to the middle of the Allied Hall and saluted Ning Cheng before turning around with his fist and saying, “Fellow Daoists, the Daoist Monarch is bent on doing this for our Tai Su Realm and is even willing to take out the Seven Bridges Realm Book and the Release Soil.
The reason everyone has such scruples is that they are worried that their cultivation resources will be affected. But once the Tai Su Realm is really restored, at that time Tai Su Ruins will no longer be a place where resources are scarce; on the contrary, we can still go to Tai Su Ruins to cultivate. Therefore, I support the opening of the Tai Su domain by the Daoist Monarch to strengthen my Tai Su Realm.”
