Chapter 942 Who is the Patriarch (1)
What did the two emperors get out of King Qi Tian through torture?
Nobody knows.
Perhaps Laojun of the Heavenly Book knew, but he would naturally not leak even a word to the outside world. Lu Yi and others naturally would not know anything.
The two great emperors personally escorted King Qi Tian away.
More generals from the Supreme Heavenly Court came with more troops and joined the former military government in the encirclement and suppression of the Three Kings and One Zun... and by the way, they also took advantage of the situation to pick up rabbits and mow down the grass, and also the territories of the pioneers that were bordering the Three Kings and One Zun and near the Pingfeng Heavenly Realm. Those territories that were "historical problems" and had been left behind after being developed because they had no recycling value were also carefully screened.
In some developed territories that showed bad signs, the top leaders were all executed.
All the people in the territory who could still make some money were packed into the warships of the Five Military Office and transported back to the Heavenly Court. In some giant auction houses, these trillions of people were completely absorbed without even a splash.
These territories themselves were shattered by the Five Military Office using special heavenly artifacts. All the energy, essence, rhyme and spiritual inspiration of the entire world were compressed into materialized "crystals" and also packaged and transported back to heaven.
The cost of the Heavenly Court's military deployment this time was enormous. One after another, the star gates for deploying troops over long distances were opened wantonly like water, and each time these star gates were opened, trillions of imperial coins were burned. These small territories were forcibly recovered, and the proceeds could not cover the baggage consumption of this expedition, but it was used to reward the heavenly soldiers and generals who had made contributions, which was also a small supplement.
Fei Ling Tian Wang of the Feng Tianyu was also actively cooperating with the Five Military Offices in their operations. He drew out the forces of one hundred border towns, and used his great magical powers to melt the territories guarded by these one hundred towns into a giant land mass. He personally dragged this giant land mass to the core of the territory originally occupied by the Three Kings and One Venerable.
One hundred border towns were merged into a giant fortress, and a new star field called the 'Rebellion Star Field' was established. Three Heavenly Lords led dozens of Star Lords, commanding nearly 100 million elite soldiers and generals to suppress the rebellion.
The territory of the Fengfeng Heavenly Domain has been extended to a large area, and the target area for the future development team has suddenly become more than a hundred times brighter. The probability of discovering valuable territories that can be developed and recycled has also increased a lot. For King Feiling, this is the credit of expanding the territory, and it is indeed a "promising future"!
All this has nothing to do with Lu Yi.
As for local governance after the rebellion was quelled, the Heavenly Court naturally had its own set of rules and regulations. It was an extremely mature systematic operation and had little to do with Lu Yi, a new and young figure.
Three thousand-mile-long, Five Military Mansion flagship-class giant ships led the way, followed by a full 36,000 hundred-mile-long Five Military Mansion standard warships. The huge fleet soared quietly in the void like a group of quiet killer whales.
At the rear of the fleet, thirty-six giants, each ten thousand feet tall, were panting, shirtless, with their hands raised high, holding up the square ancient city of Loulan and running wildly through the void.
In the battle with the King of Qi, in the ancient city of Loulan, which was damaged everywhere, a large group of master craftsmen from the Heavenly Palace were busy. Various precious materials were continuously injected into the city foundations and formation bases of the ancient city of Loulan like running water, upgrading the entire city quickly and efficiently.
These master craftsmen were directly transferred here by an order from Laojun of the Heavenly Book.
The materials used to upgrade the ancient city of Loulan were also directly drawn from the warehouse of Heaven.
Originally, the ancient city of Loulan was just an ordinary frontier town on the territory of the Linghu clan.
But after this upgrade, the scale of the ancient city of Loulan has reached a radius of 100,000 miles, and its offensive and defensive capabilities are comparable to the ancestral holy city of the Linghu clan. Unless a powerful emperor-level person takes action personally, outsiders will never be able to break through.
With the skills of the master craftsmen of the Heavenly Court and the support of the Heavenly Court's endless resources, such a huge upgrade did not take long. Many buildings and array bases were ready-made modular things in the Heavenly Court's warehouse. They were directly transported here and pieced together in a few seconds, and they could be used directly.
With the help of the star gate system densely distributed throughout the Supreme Taichu Heaven, the huge fleet set out from the Pingfeng Realm located in the border area of the entire Supreme Taichu Heaven. While trying to save expenses as much as possible, it only took three months to cross countless realms and arrived at the edge of the Linghu family's territory.
During this process, a steady stream of information about the Linghu family was transmitted.
Lu Yi already had an idea of what he was going to do next and the situation he was going to face... If he could handle things well this time, he would be able to take root in the Supreme Taichu Heaven in the future.
If I accidentally lose my hand... Well, the Heaven is big and can support many idle people. Being an idle person doesn't seem to be a bad thing... With the support of the fruit of the Buddha of the Pure Land, when Lu Yu's cultivation is strong enough, the idle person... no, the salted fish can also turn over.
Therefore, standing on the bow of a flagship ship, with the big parrot standing on his left wrist and the right hand gently combing its bright red feathers for him, Lu Yi appeared extremely confident.
The huge fleet slowly emerged from the star gate. In front of them was a green star with a thick atmosphere and eighteen small satellites surrounding it, forming a defensive formation. A private fleet of the Linghu family with more than a hundred ships, shaped like barracudas, no more than a mile long, extremely delicate and slender, and at least twice as fast as the standard Heavenly Court warship that Lu Yi was riding. Like a frightened flea, they reacted extremely sensitively and turned out from behind a satellite and approached this side rapidly.
But it was obvious that the scale of the fleet brought by Lu Yi exceeded the expectations of the Linghu fleet ahead.
The closer they got, the weaker they became. Gradually, when they were still thousands of miles away from Lu Yi's flagship, they slowed down in a dilemma. A green light rushed out from one of the larger warships and approached this side little by little. In the green light, a middle-aged man with a rather elegant appearance looked at this fleet of astonishing size with great vigilance.
"My name is Linghu Cang. May I ask which Heavenly King is visiting? Why didn't you notify us in advance?"
Three flagships that are thousands of miles long and tens of thousands of standard warships. A fleet of this size, if placed in the Heavenly Court, must be traveled by a Heavenly King-level great man who holds real power and controls a palace, pavilion, palace, and department in the Heavenly Court's organization, in order to have such momentum.
Under normal circumstances, Linghu Shi would not take him seriously as just a king.
But now the Linghu clan is in chaos, and all the members of the Linghu clan are on high alert. Suddenly, an unknown fleet is approaching their territory. The middle-aged man even has the idea of asking Tai Etian for help at all costs.
Linghu Cang especially thought of some bad things.
Could it be that the family’s long-time enemy took the opportunity to invade?
Or, is there someone in the family colluding with foreign enemies?
Lu Yi stroked the tail feathers of the big parrot, and the caracal lying on his shoulder proudly raised its plump neck and barked at Linghu Cang twice. However, it seemed that it had not yet adapted to its transformed white tiger bloodline, and when it barked, it was still cat-like, without any of the majesty that a sacred beast white tiger should have.
Linghu Cang's eyes swept across the caracal and the giant parrot.
His scalp suddenly felt numb.
It was obvious that the cat and the bird were just two small pets, but both of them actually possessed the strength of a Heavenly Monarch!
At least it is equivalent to a Heavenly Lord who has opened up three million acupoints!
Moreover, the two gentlemen were breathing weakly. Occasionally, fire would explode from the big parrot, ruffling its feathers. From time to time, an extremely sharp white cold light would flash from the caracal's body. As the light flickered, large pieces of feathers would be chopped off at the roots, like a beard cut by a razor, fluttering to the ground.
This is an abnormality caused by excessive enhancement of one's strength by external forces in a short period of time, resulting in one being unable to control it at all.
Linghu Cang could even judge that the previous cultivation of the caracal and the giant parrot might be equivalent to that of an 'ant' that had opened up dozens of acupoints... In a very short period of time, the two little ants had the cultivation and strength comparable to that of a Heavenly Sovereign... This did not seem like something that a 'mere Heavenly King' could do.
Lu Yi stroked the caracal with a smile, then took two steps back with a smile.
So, Linghu Jue, with her big belly, held her head high and chest out, like a proud little phoenix, stroking her big belly with both hands, and slowly walked out from behind Lu Yi. She stood at the bow, glanced at Linghu Cang with a squint, and suddenly sneered: "Oh, it turns out to be... Uncle Cang? What's going on? Uncle Cang is not in the garrison today to rob the women, why is he out on patrol in person? Is there something big happening in the clan?"
Linghu Cang's eyes suddenly widened.
Linghu Lun is back!
Linghu Jun, the direct descendant of the patriarch's lineage, was extremely talented. Before the patriarch Linghu Ku died, he had praised her a lot, saying that she was 'no weaker than men'... Linghu Jun, whose bloodline was extremely concentrated, and the Linghu clan elders had already reached a tacit agreement to only marry a son-in-law and never marry outside the family... Linghu Jun, who was said to have followed Linghu Wuyou to the lower world to carry out a confidential mission some time ago, but never returned!
"Niece Juan, why are you back?" Linghu Cang was shocked and shouted hurriedly: "Why, you, you...you..."
The members of the Linghu clan are all quite alert and smart.
Linghu Cang realized that there was something wrong with his first sentence - the implication of his words seemed to be that he wanted Linghu Lu to die outside and never come back.
So, he immediately caught the flaw in Linghu Jun's body - little niece, you are back, no problem, but why did you come back with a big belly? You, you, you, you are simply a disgrace to the family, and you are simply a disgrace to the word "Linghu". You, do you know what's going on?
Linghu Jui chuckled a few times and waved behind him: "Husband!!!"
Linghu Jun deliberately raised her voice, calling out "husband" in a charming, delicate and extremely alluring manner.
Yin Yuan was wearing an extremely fancy dragon robe with a dark purple base, inlaid with silver threads, and embroidered with nine extremely majestic large coiled dragons using black gold thread. He had his long hair loose, and tied a belt between his eyebrows that was glittering and inlaid with dozens of celestial crystals of varying sizes. He displayed the imperial bearing he had developed in the lower world, and walked to the side of Linghu Luan with steady square steps.
He subconsciously placed his right hand on Linghu Cang's shoulder, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Linghu Cang, and said calmly: "Jun'er, this person is an elder of the clan, right? How should I address you as your husband?"
Linghu Luan said calmly: "Although he is an elder in the clan, he is from a side branch, and a less important one at that. So, if you are in a good mood, just call him Uncle Cang. If you are in a bad mood, he won't dare to get angry even if you say 'hello'."
Yin Yuan said in surprise, "Is it a collateral branch? No wonder the ships are so exquisite. Hey, they are really as small as a three-month-old puppy. They are so exquisite and cute. How can they compare to my husband's majestic and magnificent ships? Especially, they are so majestic and big!"
Lu Yu's face twitched. He couldn't bear Yin Yuan's dirty talk any more, and he quickly took two steps back.
It's really weird.
While on the road, Lu Yi received countless intelligence information about the Linghu family .
Although this private customized battleship is small, its speed, firepower, and defense are far superior to the standard battleships of the Heavenly Court. Do you understand? With only a few hundred Linghu family battleships, if the other party wants to leave, the tens of thousands of Heavenly Court battleships that I brought with me, if I can't annihilate the other party with a concentrated firepower at once, I can't catch up with the other party!
As expected, Linghu Cang was so angry that his face turned purple at Yinyuan's words.
Collateral branch?
No wonder the boat is so 'exquisite'!
Damn it, you said my boat was small...what's the point of a three-month-old puppy's chicken...did this person say that?
What’s particularly outrageous is, are you talking about a boat... or... a person?
Linghu Cang was furious and shouted, "Boy, who are you? Did anyone tell me?"
Yin Yuan frowned and said calmly, "Don't be so flowery. People who know say that your Linghu family has a long tradition of scholarship and even your farts smell like ink... People who don't know would think that your Linghu family's elders don't speak human language."
This sentence seemed to add fuel to the fire, and Linghu Cang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He gritted his teeth, and had not yet thought of how to respond to Yin Yuan's rude provocation. Suddenly, he, the group of Linghu clan members around him, and the private soldiers of the Linghu clan on the patrol warships all had bulging eyes, revealing unbelievable, extremely distorted and terrible expressions.
In addition to Linghu Jun, there were five women from the Linghu clan dressed in gorgeous clothes, with identical big bellies. They slowly walked to Yinyuan with the support of a group of pale-faced, beardless, and feminine eunuchs, nodded lazily at Linghu Cang, and lazily called him "Uncle Cang".
Six noble ladies of the Linghu family!
They are all noble daughters of the head of the family!
Moreover, they all follow Linghu Wuyou to do errands, and are highly valued by the family. They have excellent talents and bloodlines, and are the legitimate daughters of the family who are "strategic resource reserves that cannot be outflowed"!
The origins and talents of these five clan girls were slightly inferior to Linghu Ju. But if the Linghu clan also had a "ranking of succession rights to the throne", these five clan girls would be ranked among the top 1,000!
Think about it, the direct and collateral lineages of the Linghu clan have been multiplying for countless years, and now there are hundreds of millions of clan members with Linghu blood alone. Being able to be ranked among the top 1,000 in the inheritance right ranking among so many clan members is enough to highlight how talented these five clan girls are, and how much hope the clan elders have placed on them!
Well...we went out on a mission and came back with big bellies!
No, not one plus one!
Linghu Cang was stunned to see Yu Changle sneak out with a group of young eunuchs, surrounded by several boys and girls rolling around on the ground. These children ran to Linghu Ju and the other six clan girls, hugged their thighs, and enthusiastically called out - "Mom!"
"Bang", like a muffled thunder.
On Linghu Cang's warship, more than a dozen young men from the side branches who were more than five generations apart from the head of the family's direct line and who, theoretically, purely theoretically, had the slightest possibility of "marrying" these five noble ladies, took a few steps back with haggard faces. What's worse, several young men who usually performed outstandingly sat down on the ground.
Not one plus one.
But one to two!
Linghu Cang's purple face quickly turned purple-red. He was so angry that he was shaking all over... What a shame, what a shame. A daughter of the Linghu clan actually did such a thing. It was really a disgrace to the family. It was like, the ancestral graves were emitting black smoke!
But in a flash, Linghu Cang's face became red, shiny and glowing with excitement, and his whole body seemed to be filled with blood and became high-spirited.
He was shaking with excitement, pointing at Linghu Lun with his trembling right hand, and was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while.
Linghu Ju and the other six clan girls were all geniuses cultivated by the clan head... However, they had done something shameful and brought shame to the Linghu clan... This was enough to become six sharp weapons, ruthlessly slashing at the prestige that the Linghu clan head had built up over countless years!
"Linghu Lun, you are simply... shameless!" Linghu Cang took a breath and stomped his feet hard. He used too much force and the warship under his feet shook violently. He almost stepped on a big hole in the warship that failed to open its defense and activated no restrictions.
Fortunately, this was a high-end warship customized for the family, and the materials used were strong enough. There was only a half-foot deep footprint on the deck, and it was not actually broken by his kick.
"Uncle Cang, what you said is wrong! I don't like it!" Linghu Luan raised his eyebrows and scolded coldly: "Stop making noise, I don't have time to drag it out with you here. Get out of the way, I want to go home, take my husband, and kowtow to my parents!"
Linghu Cang's eyes focused and swept across the huge Heavenly Court standard fleet in front of him.
He hid his left hand in his sleeve and calmly crushed a small piece of jade.
Behind them, on the periphery of the huge star, the speed of the eighteen satellites suddenly increased, and the satellites released a vast mist. As the satellites rotated at high speed, the mist left long tails in the void. The eighteen tails crisscrossed and outlined a huge battle formation.
Strands of strange light lit up from the locations where the trails intersected, and a large number of formation platforms, flag gates, archways and other formation objects emerged. The void shook, and the stars in the distance lit up one by one. Then, strands of starlight swayed, crossed the void, and quickly rushed towards the huge star behind.
In just a few breaths, a large defensive formation based on stars took shape.
At the same time, on the surface of the huge star in the middle, a group of green barracuda-shaped warships kept taking off and quickly formed into formations.
This is an important gateway for the Heavenly Court to enter and exit the Linghu clan's territory, so the Linghu clan has stationed a large number of troops here. Among them, there are as many as twelve flagship warships that are hundreds of miles long.
Linghu's private customized battleship, a flagship of a hundred miles in length, is obviously not as good as the thousand-mile flagship of the Five Military Office that Lu Yi is riding in terms of defense and firepower... but in terms of speed, agility, and coordination with the entire formation, as well as the mutual fit and formation ability between the warships, it is several levels stronger than the Heavenly Court standard battleship brought by Lu Yi.
If a real fight breaks out, the enemy's twelve flagships, plus nearly ten thousand small warships ranging in length from a few miles to more than ten miles, combined with the large defense formation in front, will be enough to completely bury the tens of thousands of Heavenly Court-standard warships brought by Lu Yi in a short period of time.
Behind Lu Yi, a group of "high-level fighters" from Taichu Yuanting, including Meng Hu and Hou Qing, who were wearing heavy armor, were so excited that their faces turned red and they kept panting.
Before they set off, they received an imperial edict from the Lord of Heavenly Book, which came directly from the Great Emperor Taichu.
If they can cooperate with Lu Yu and help Yin Yuan to directly control the Linghu clan through the six daughters of Linghu Luan...even if it is only a part of the power of the Linghu clan, it will be recorded as a great achievement. After returning to the Heavenly Palace, this group of "high-level thugs" who have strength but no real power will be immediately given real positions!
Meng Hu has already murmured: "Master Fahai, make your move... Confer titles on your wife and children, bring honor to your family, today is the day!"
Lu Yi pursed his lips and said dryly: "Can we win? How many casualties? Is it reasonable? Remember, we don't fire the first arrow... ahem, we don't shoot the first arrow!"
After a pause, Lu Yi lowered his voice and said to Linghu Jue who was standing in front of him: "Miss Jue, this is related to the 'little prince' next to you, your belly, his future status, future prospects... It's related to your own 'reputation'!"
Linghu Lun's body trembled.
She suddenly lowered her head and looked at her eldest son who was hugging her thighs. Then, she touched her belly vigorously. Through the magical blood induction of "heavenly man", she knew very well that in her belly, there was another smart, healthy and lively baby son!
'Little Prince'!
She likes this name.
Yinyuan is the emperor of the world, so aren’t she and his son the ‘little prince’?
Therefore, she must make sure that her precious son obtains the power and benefits that match his status as the 'little prince'!
Linghu Jui chuckled.
Just like when she was in the ancient city of Loulan, in the lower world, she looked down upon Lu Yi and other creatures in the lower world as ants. The arrogance and arrogance of the noble lady of the Linghu family appeared in her again.
"Linghu Cang, you dare to bare your teeth to me? You are rebelling!"
Linghu Jue shouted softly, and a fist-sized, emerald jade seal from her sleeve flew into the air, and she gently pressed it forward. The void shook slightly, and the defense formation that had been fully activated suddenly stopped operating. The bright Dao patterns and prohibitions on the hulls of tens of thousands of Linghu family's private warships also dimmed!
Linghu Lun's internal authority in the Linghu clan is far greater than Linghu Cang's!
In fact, she is at the master level, while Linghu Cang is just a servant!
