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

"Also?" A hint of doubt appeared on Lin Ning's face.

She had considered any answer from Xuan Ming just now.

But she had not anticipated this single word at all.

A single "Also"? Could it be that someone had borrowed money from her cousin before her?

"What a coincidence!"

Lin Ning frowned inwardly.

"It's nothing, your explanation is reasonable. The cost of living in the Imperial City is indeed higher than in the counties below. Only the capital cities of the five prefectures can compare."

Xuan Ming didn't dwell on this question for too long.

In Xuan Ming's view, what Lin Ning said was not false.

The Lin family was not imperial offspring, with subsidies for all kinds of resources and daily expenses. When they came to this Imperial City, they naturally couldn't lack cultivation resources, and the Imperial City was more expensive than the outside world, so buying things here and there could cost a lot of money.

A county family's foundation was nothing in the Imperial City.

Therefore, Xuan Ming didn't think too much about it.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

Xuan Ming then asked.

The Lin family was his birth mother's family. When he first transmigrated, his birth mother treated him extremely well, but unfortunately, she died in the imperial harem struggle. Xuan Ming could not repay her, and now that the Lin family had appeared, Xuan Ming wanted to give them some subsidies.

"Before and after, it will probably require ten million taels of silver."

Lin Ning's voice was very soft, extremely sweet and charming.

She had not had much contact with Xuan Ming before.

She estimated that he would give her money largely because of that aunt, so she gave a rough figure and didn't dare to ask for too much.

If she could get these silver taels...

...then she could complete the initial foundation for establishing the Demonic Sect.

"Ten million taels..." Xuan Ming took a deep breath.

Although Lin Ning didn't open her mouth and ask for billions, it still surprised Xuan Ming. You must know that before he ascended the throne, he was the weakest prince, with less than one hundred thousand taels of silver on him.

He knew what these silver taels represented.

"I can't lend that much. I can only take out a maximum of one hundred thousand from here. This is after emptying my treasury."

Xuan Ming shook his head slightly.

"Do you want it?" Xuan Ming asked.

"One hundred thousand taels..." Lin Ning opened her mouth, then immediately shook her head.

If it was only one hundred thousand taels, there was no need to use up her cousin's favor.

Otherwise, it would probably be difficult to ask him to help find the Divine Dynasty Empress next time. After all, she had tried to bewitch Xuan Ming before, but all had failed. This left her with no other way to borrow this huge energy other than the kinship between the Emperor and the Lin family.

Therefore, after thinking about it, one hundred thousand taels was still not worth it.

The value was not high. She could take out some of her previous life's cultivation methods to sell.

Once those cultivation methods were sold, whether it was ten thousand more or ten thousand less didn't matter much. On the other hand, if she borrowed these one hundred thousand taels and then relied on herself to get silver, she would lose favor and have to work hard herself.

For various reasons, she refused these one hundred thousand taels, and ultimately lied that she was only using this excuse to see Xuan Ming. Xuan Ming did not expose her lie and let her leave.

"This little girl probably has some secrets too!"

Xuan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Wuming, during this period, pay more attention to the Lin family during the day to see if any problems have arisen. If there are no problems, didn't you lead the Imperial Guards to confiscate the homes of a group of nobles in the Imperial City last month? Send some resources and silver taels to the Lin family, and also observe my cousin."

Xuan Ming instructed in a low voice.

"Yes." Wuming's figure appeared and then disappeared.

"Strange." Xuan Ming shook his head slightly.

He vaguely realized that today's events seemed to have some connection in the dark.

Just as he was thinking carefully...

A slightly flustered figure rushed into the Imperial Garden.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of War has an urgent matter to see you, saying that there is an anomaly in the Myriad Demon Mountains, and fierce beasts have emerged from the deep mountains and old forests, attacking the border of the Imperial Dynasty. Please move to the Xuanhuang Hall, the Minister of War is already waiting inside!" The person who came was a palace guard, who reported in a flustered manner.

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

Chapter 59: Level Tongxuan Mountain for Me!

Xuanhuang Hall.

Xuan Ming crossed from the Imperial Garden in one step.

He sat on the dragon throne.

"Speak, which places have been attacked by fierce beasts?"

Xuan Ming looked at Li Batian, the Minister of War below, his expression slightly solemn.

In the records of the late Emperor, the Myriad Demon Mountains were a place suspected of being occupied by ancient demon beasts.

Therefore, even though the current Shenxuan Imperial Dynasty, including him, had four Earth Gods sitting in town, Xuan Ming still attached absolute importance to the Myriad Demon Mountains.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is Beitai County and Kaiyang County of Beixu Prefecture, and Nanjiang County and Fengyuan County of Nanzhao Prefecture!" Looking at Xuan Ming who suddenly appeared on the dragon throne, the Minister of War was slightly shocked, but now was not the time to be surprised, and hurriedly said the disaster-stricken counties.

"The Northern Yang Marquis and Southern Feng Marquis, who are stationed in their respective prefectures, have already led their troops to the disaster-stricken areas. According to the news, the Sages in the two prefectures have also set off. Preliminary estimates of the disaster situation are that deaths and injuries in each prefecture exceed ten thousand!" A trace of sorrow and shock appeared on the Minister of War's face.

The Imperial Dynasty has a large population base, and more than ten thousand deaths and injuries are not considered much overall.

However, since the late Emperor led his troops to counterattack the Myriad Demon Mountains a hundred years ago...

...there has never been a situation where so many people have died and been injured in one incident.

Now that the Myriad Demon Mountains have erupted again, the Minister of War felt a trace of shock while feeling grief in his heart.

Throughout history, among all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, only the Myriad Demon Mountains have caused the greatest casualties to the Nanzhou Continent and the Shenxuan Imperial Dynasty.

It can be said that the Myriad Demon Mountains are the biggest malignant tumor that has continued in the history of the Nanzhou Continent.

"More than ten thousand..." Xuan Ming's heart trembled slightly.

"The beast災 in Nanzhao Prefecture basically comes from the Tongxuan Mountain Range, a branch of the Myriad Demon Mountains extending to Nanzhao Prefecture, while the fierce beasts that broke out of the Luanyang Mountain Range in Kaiyang County of Beixu Prefecture."

"These two mountain ranges, and the Tianlu Forest in Tongyuan Prefecture, located in the heart of the Imperial Dynasty, are strictly speaking branches of the Myriad Demon Mountains extending to the Nanzhou Continent."

The Minister of War continued to state the relevant information about this incident.

"The Imperial Dynasty has the same governance system for them and the Tianlu Forest, but the source of this beast災 comes from within the Myriad Demon Mountains, and the surrounding stationed troops did not have time to deal with it..."

The Minister of War told the whole story, the origin of the incident, in detail.

"The same governance system as Tianlu Forest..." Xuan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered that when the Lin family came to the Imperial City, something similar happened in Tianlu Forest.

"The Mountain God sits in Tianlu Forest, tens of thousands of miles away from the other two places, making it somewhat out of reach. The source of the River God is located on the outskirts of the Myriad Demon Mountains, but its power has not yet extended to the entire Imperial Dynasty. The Land God is even further away from the two places..."

"It will probably take some time before the Three Great Divine Monarchs defense system is perfected!" Xuan Ming thought in his heart.

Before the Three Great Divine Monarchs defense system is perfected, the Shenxuan Imperial Dynasty still needs to guard against the movements of the Myriad Demon Mountains.

"In Nanzhao Prefecture, a Farmer Sage took action, and the fierce beasts retreated into the Tongxuan Mountain Range, temporarily stabilizing the situation. However, the fierce beasts invading Beixu Prefecture are ten times more numerous than those in Nanzhao Prefecture. Even if the Hongyuan Sage takes action, he can only barely repel them. The Northern Yang Marquis is requesting reinforcements from the Imperial Dynasty."

"Please, Your Majesty, issue an order to mobilize the surrounding troops to provide support!" The Minister of War said respectfully.

The Ministry of War does control military power, but it is only responsible for mobilizing the ownership of the world's troops and the appointment of their commanders. The power to provide aid, send troops, and start wars is all in the hands of the Emperor.

Including the other two major departments, they are essentially only managing the world for the Emperor, and the real power is all with the Emperor.

Even though the current Emperor has just ascended the throne, the Minister of War did not dare to overstep his authority.

"I know." Xuan Ming nodded.

"Go and mobilize them."

"Yes, Your Majesty, your servant obeys the decree." The Minister of War quickly left.

The matter of support could not be delayed. A slight delay could cause thousands or tens of thousands of casualties on the front line!

"Wuming, Sword Saint, come to the palace!"

After the Minister of War left, Xuan Ming suddenly spoke.

Without letting Xuan Ming wait too long.

The figures of the two appeared in the Xuanhuang Hall.

"I have a mission for you!"

"You two each hold my edict and go to the disaster-stricken areas of Nanzhao Prefecture and Beixu Prefecture to personally supervise and ensure that this disaster is completely eradicated. My edict contains my divine power. If any unknowable factors appear, you can use it!" Xuan Ming waved his hand.

Two strands of purple divine power evolved in the air, attaching to the two edicts.

Although the Sword Saint and Wuming had reached the limit of mortals.

The Myriad Demon Mountains were unpredictable, and they were very far away from here. If there were any unknown threats, Xuan Ming and the Three Great Divine Monarchs would not have time to take action, and could only rely on his divine power to protect the safety of the two and the nearby people.

Once the Sword Saint and the two used the divine power on the edict, Xuan Ming would immediately sense it, and then tear through space and arrive at an extremely fast speed.

"Your servant obeys the decree!"

The Sword Saint and the two immediately bowed and accepted the edicts.

The two left the Xuanhuang Hall and rushed to the two places.

The divine power on the edict could amplify their speed.

If they were not still mortal bodies and could not withstand the pulling force after tearing through space, Xuan Ming would have directly sent the two to arrive.

As for monitoring his sister and cousin, that matter could be put aside for now.

"Someone, summon the Minister of Revenue!"

After dispatching the two, Xuan Ming summoned the Minister of Revenue again.

Soon, the Minister of Revenue heard the news and rushed over.

"Your servant greets Your Majesty. I wonder what instructions Your Majesty has for summoning your servant." The Minister of Revenue was slightly uneasy in his heart. Lin Ning had just left the palace not long ago, and His Majesty summoned him, causing him to mistakenly believe that Lin Ning had angered His Majesty.

"Are you aware that fierce beasts from the Myriad Demon Mountains have entered the territory of the Imperial Dynasty through the Tongxuan Mountain Range and the Luanyang Mountain Range?" Xuan Ming's words greatly changed the Minister of Revenue's expression.

The term Myriad Demon Mountains has always been a taboo for the entire Nanzhou Continent.

Even an old minister like the Minister of Revenue was frightened by it.

"These two mountain ranges have always been the scene of the Myriad Demon Mountains' riots, haven't they?" Xuan Ming asked with a focused gaze.
