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

“Then this humble official will go and summon the Imperial Guards.” The Minister of Revenue was slightly alarmed.

The Emperor is a symbol of the dynasty. He would not leave the palace easily unless there was a major event. It seems His Majesty values the cages more than he imagined.

And the Imperial Guards are specifically responsible for His Majesty's safety.

Now that the Emperor is leaving the palace, how could the Imperial Guards not accompany him?

Xuan Ming nodded, without objection.

The fundamental job of the Imperial Guards exists because of him, and moreover, transporting the sacred beasts this time also requires the Imperial Guards.

Soon, a thousand Imperial Guards were assembled.

Xuan Ming sat on the imperial carriage, with eight semi-sage Imperial Guards carrying the carriage on all sides, extremely steady. Inside the carriage, the slightly swaying glass beads allowed Xuan Ming to glimpse the scenery outside.

On the way to the Ministry of Works, the Imperial Guards cleared the path, so naturally, no one dared to disturb them.

Moreover, the Ministry of Works is located in the main office area of the imperial capital, where the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, Ministry of Personnel, and so on are located, so there are even fewer idlers.

The Minister of the Ministry of Works was terrified to learn that the Emperor was coming in person, and waited early at the gate of the Ministry of Works.

“This humble official greets Your Majesty!” Seeing Xuan Ming's imperial carriage approaching, Wu Dijia, Minister of the Ministry of Works, immediately went up to greet him, kowtowing respectfully.

“Rise, lead Us to see the five hundred cages.” Inside the imperial carriage, Xuan Ming's expression was calm as he waved his hand.

The five hundred cages concern whether the five hundred sacred beasts can enter the two border regions from the imperial capital without causing panic among the people. Naturally, Xuan Ming had to come and inspect them.

“Yes, Your Majesty, please.” Wu Dijia respectfully retreated to the side.

The imperial carriage was slowly carried into the Ministry of Works by the Imperial Guards. Immediately visible were five hundred iron cages, each the size of a ten-story pavilion, placed on the ground in rows. The dark iron cages filled the entire courtyard of the Ministry of Works with a sense of solemnity.

Xuan Ming's divine sense left his body and scanned the five hundred cages, which were quite in line with his requirements, and the cages all had wheels specially made at the bottom, so they could be moved at any time.

Xuan Ming retracted his mind and nodded secretly.

“Your Majesty, are there any other requirements?” The Minister of Revenue asked in a low voice from the side.

“No, Li Kaitian, take Our edict and go to the Imperial Guard barracks. Have Chen Ming dispatch ten thousand Imperial Guards to escort these five hundred cages to Kaiyang Prefecture and Nanjiang Prefecture respectively.” Xuan Ming shook his head slightly and looked at a semi-sage Imperial Guard following him.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Li Kaitian quickly left.

“Could it be that I guessed wrong?” Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue couldn't help but feel puzzled. He always felt that His Majesty ordered the construction of these five hundred cages to imprison something, but now, it doesn't seem to be the case.

The Minister of Revenue shook his head slightly, feeling that he might have been overthinking things.

“Is the fixed-point delivery enabled?”

“Delivery range: any location within a five-kilometer radius of the host, and you can only choose to deliver all of them!”

Xuan Ming naturally didn't know what the Minister of Revenue was imagining. At this moment, he had already heard the system's prompt.

“Deliver, location: the Ministry of Works courtyard, one in each of the five hundred cages.”

Xuan Ming instructed in his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, in a dimension only Xuan Ming could see, the sky above the entire Ministry of Works courtyard suddenly changed, and a large number of miniature beast shadows were delivered from an unknown void, falling into each cage.

“Conceal your auras along the way and do not expose yourselves. Unless necessary, stay inside. When you reach the destination, specialists will release you. In the early stages, dig up the Tongxuan Mountains and Luanyang Mountains for Us, and then We will have the River God and Mountain God each take charge of you.”

As soon as the miniature beast shadows fell into the iron cages, they quickly regained their massive size and wanted to roar at the sky, but when Xuan Ming's voice came, these sacred beasts immediately silenced themselves.

Hmm?

After these sacred beasts regained their massive size, the Minister of Revenue suddenly stared suspiciously at the many cages. Just now, he clearly felt a tremor in the cages, but now he couldn't see anything unusual.

“Was it an illusion?” The Minister of Revenue scratched his head.

Soon, things were settled on the imperial capital side.

The five hundred cages were moved out of the Ministry of Works by ten thousand Imperial Guards and five hundred Imperial Guards, attracting attention along the way.

“Make way, make way!” Fortunately, Chang'an Street was wide enough to accommodate these cages, but the people walking on the street had to give way.

“What the hell are those things!” Among the crowd, the Demon Lord Lin Ning, dressed in a black robe, stared suspiciously at the iron cages being transported out of the city. She vaguely sensed that there seemed to be something inside, but now that she hadn't yet comprehended the Sacred Intent, her perception was limited, and she couldn't see what was inside the cages.

“This old man has decided, I can join the Demon Sect, but you have to give me that Coagulation Pill first.” Beside Lin Ning, an old man in an ocher-yellow robe said in a low voice.

“You may.” Lin Ning glanced at the old man, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Her Coagulation Pill has basically been successfully refined.

The Demon Sect establishment mission can now be implemented.

“Also, money, you can sell some semi-sage cultivation methods first to test the waters.”

Lin Ning thought to herself.

“Come, you follow me over here.” She looked at the old man again, leading him to a deserted alley. With a flip of her right hand, a jade bottle appeared in her palm.

“It really is a Coagulation Pill!” The old man's pupils shrank.

He originally thought that Lin Ning was just talking earlier.

But he didn't expect that the other party actually had this pill.

You must know that the Coagulation Pill is a semi-sage grade, priceless, and often unavailable even if you have the money.

“This old man, Lin You-tou, greets Sect Leader.” The old man was also straightforward, taking the pill from Lin Ning's hand and kneeling on the ground on the spot, joining the Demon Sect.

His talent was limited. Reaching his current level was already the peak. He could only rely on the Coagulation Pill if he wanted to break through again!

“In that case, you will swallow this pill here, and this deity will help you advance to semi-sage. When the time comes, this deity will give you a mission.” Lin Ning's mouth turned up slightly. She wasn't worried that the old man would be untrustworthy or greedy. With her strength, a semi-sage would not be her opponent at all.

Moreover, swallowing this pill, plus her help.

The sacred intent condensed by the old man will all be under her control.

Wanting to rebel is nothing short of wishful thinking.

And when the time comes, Lin Ning plans to hand over the task of auctioning semi-sage cultivation methods to this person. She hasn't forgotten that there is still a peerless enemy, the Empress, lurking in the world. Before finding the other party's whereabouts, Lin Ning will not actively expose herself.

Chapter 68: Sacred Beast Prison Carriages Arrive at Kaiyang Prefecture, Marquis Beiyang's Confusion

Under the control of Demon Lord Lin Ning, Lin You-tou, the first member of the Demon Sect in the Nanzhou Continent, finally successfully advanced to semi-sage.

“What powerful strength, the semi-sage realm is indeed extraordinary.” Lin You-tou's face showed joy, repeatedly checking his own power. He could feel a powerful force circulating in his body, and his combat power far exceeded what it used to be.

Even his old face was gradually trending towards rejuvenation at this moment. The semi-sage realm enhanced the divine soul, and true qi also began to transform towards sacred power. Combining the two, Lin You-tou's body began to glow with vitality.

“This subordinate thanks Sect Leader for your help!”

“From now on, serve Sect Leader with all my heart, even if it means going through fire and water!”

With such a change, like a new life, Lin You-tou did not go back on his word and do things he shouldn't do.

“You are quite sensible. This sect leader has a semi-sage level cultivation method here. You can take it and auction it off at Tianfeng Commerce, but remember not to expose your identity.” Demon Lord Lin Ning glanced at Lin You-tou, a hint of a different color flashing in her eyes.

As the Demon Sect Leader, when giving benefits to others, how could she not make preparations in advance? It's just that Lin You-tou's reaction surprised her slightly.

“Yes, Sect Leader.” Lin You-tou nodded respectfully, accepting the semi-sage cultivation method.

A flash of heat flashed in his eyes.

Although his talent was not enough, he had been in the martial world for many years and had the ability to recognize people. Although he didn't know Lin Ning's origins, the fact that she could easily produce a Coagulation Pill and help him advance to semi-sage showed that she was no ordinary person.

This made him see the benefits of following Lin Ning.

“Go!” Lin Ning waved her hand.

Lin You-tou respectfully retreated to handle the matters Lin Ning had instructed.

“Still considered honest.”

“But just one person is not enough!” Lin Ning narrowed her eyes slightly. The Demon Sect already had its first member.

But this was not enough. If the Demon Sect wanted to develop into a large scale, it naturally had to be based on numbers.

Lin Ning's body was hidden under the black robe, and she quickly disappeared into the corner.

In the following period of time, Lin Ning repeated the same method.

The Demon Sect quietly grew stronger, but what made Lin Ning slightly headache was:

She was temporarily unable to expand the Demon Sect to the nobles of the imperial capital, and could only expand the Demon Sect among the martial artists and wandering merchants who came and went, which made her shake her head.

If the Demon Sect wants to truly have influence, it must control a figure who can speak at the imperial level.

She had experimented with her cousin in this life, but it didn't work, so she could only look for someone else.

No one noticed the rise of the Demon Sect.

The imperial capital had as many as a million or even more people coming and going every day.

Various forces were complex and mixed, and countless new forces were born every day. No one would care about a new force, even if it was quite extraordinary.

On the other side, the sacred beast prison carriages that left the imperial capital parted ways, heading north and south.

Each carrying two hundred and fifty sacred beasts, heading to the border areas.

This trip is bound to dig through the Tongxuan and Luanyang Mountains!

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

“The aura of gods and demons is getting stronger and stronger.”

Deep underground in the Tongxuan Mountains, the late Emperor Xuan Ce woke up inexplicably.

Feeling the increasingly strong laws of gods and demons around him, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

As he guessed, the secrets of the Tongxuan Mountains were disordered, containing the rules left by the gods and demons thousands of years ago.

“I'm afraid this is the only place in the entire Nanzhou Continent where one can become a god or demon, right?” The late Emperor Xuan Ce thought slightly, and then fell into a false death slumber again.

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

A few days passed in a flash.

Kaiyang Prefecture.

During this period of time, Marquis Beiyang had been commanding the army, constantly entering the mountains to clear out the remaining fierce beasts, but the effect was not good. The fierce beasts repeatedly evaded the encirclement and suppression of the Beiyang army by taking advantage of the mountains, forests, vines, and canyons.

The human race had difficulty exerting its full strength in the territory of the fierce beasts.

On this day, Marquis Beiyang was about to personally step into the mountains to clear out the outermost fierce beasts, but before he could come forward, a letter was delivered to his hand.

“Something from the Ministry of Works in the imperial capital, sent by the Emperor's personally ordered Imperial Guards... requiring this Marquis to welcome it!”
