The ocean is vast, and without any guidance, it's almost like finding a needle in a haystack.
After all, the Pacific Ocean is too vast. It's simply impossible to find Xia Ke Island thousands of miles away with only a general direction in mind.
If you miss Xia Ke Dao (侠客岛), you'll find the vast ocean beyond.
Moreover, Xia Ke Island is filled with various traps and cannons. A group of landlubbers would be buried in the sea ten miles away before they could even get close to the island.
The ocean is not like land; it is boundless and completely exposed.
Given that ships can only travel at a maximum speed of 15 knots, such a large obstacle would be impossible to evade the watchtower's patrols.
···
In just three months, news of gangs being wiped out began to circulate in the martial arts world.
Similarly, some gangs also received the reward and punishment decree, allowing them to go to Xia Ke Island to drink Laba porridge.
There are many villains in the martial arts world, but there are also many chivalrous heroes.
After all, for every evil person there is a good person, there is a good person. Good and evil are not just about right and wrong, but also about hypocrites.
However, even if a hypocrite doesn't commit evil, he is still on Xia Ke Dao's list.
It is impossible for a hundred good deeds to be destroyed by a single evil deed, or for a hundred evil deed to be eliminated by a single good deed.
Good and evil cannot be judged by words, but by actions.
For example, Yue Buqun did not expose himself by using the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. Now he has become the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. Over the years, he has been fighting against evil and protecting the righteous in the martial arts world. He can be regarded as a leader of the righteous path. He has not done anything out of line. Therefore, Yue Buqun is on the list of heroes on Xia Ke Island.
This made many forces in the martial arts world marvel at the domineering nature of Xia Ke Island.
As expected, the visitors from Xia Ke Dao this time were up to no good!
Moreover, the methods used by Xia Ke Dao to exterminate entire families were extremely cruel, leaving no one alive, not even chickens or dogs.
When everyone came to investigate, they were all stunned by the hellish scene of rivers of blood. They also saw two blood-stained signs, indicating that it was made by Xia Ke Island.
As for impersonating Xia Ke Dao (侠客岛)?
Regardless of whether they actually have the ability, Xia Ke Dao (侠客岛) would never let an imposter go unpunished.
After all, rewarding good and punishing evil are based on verifiable evidence.
The forces that were wiped out were all gangs that had committed numerous evil deeds and had extremely bad reputations.
Therefore, although it caused quite a stir, it was a scene of celebration among the common people, and the entertainment districts were filled with cheers.
Ordinary people don't have so many options; all they think about is fighting evil with evil and repaying evil with evil.
Xia Ke Dao's methods are precisely based on a generous heart.
The only complaint is that Xia Ke Dao ignores the major top forces, or perhaps doesn't want to be an enemy of the entire martial arts world.
After receiving the news, the empire did not issue a warrant for the arrest.
After all, both major forces are loyal to the Zhang family.
The methods used by Xia Ke Dao are remarkably similar to those of the former Blood Droplets.
Reward the good and punish the evil; eradicate evil completely!
Moreover, the strength of the two envoys who reward good and punish evil has been confirmed by news from the martial arts world:
He reached adulthood and was at the pinnacle of his cultivation, but his combat strength was unparalleled, roughly equivalent to the strength displayed by Feng Yun.
After all, Nie Feng's Six Unyielding Techniques and Wind God Leg, and Bu Jingyun's Holy Spirit Sword Technique, Mysterious Sword Technique, and Cloud Dispelling Palm are all peerless skills of their time. Moreover, both of them are geniuses with extraordinary talent, ranking among the top ten on the Dragon and Phoenix List.
At the age of twenty, with such strength, the two envoys of reward and good deeds were already among the top ten on the Dragon and Phoenix List when they first debuted.
This has led various forces in the martial arts world to reassess the strength of Xia Ke Dao.
Leaving aside the old monster who originally lived in seclusion on Xia Ke Island, the fact that even his disciples possessed such strength shows that the young masters on Xia Ke Island were mostly top-tier, and some might even have reached unparalleled levels.
At this time, the two envoys who offered rewards and benefits had just come of age, and twelve years ago they were only eight years old, which was considered relatively young among the younger generation on the island.
The oldest among the boys at the time was fifteen, and with a twelve-year gap between his current and previous years, he is now twenty-seven.
There are at least ten highly skilled individuals aged between twenty and twenty-seven.
Given the same resources, martial arts skills, and similar aptitudes, this would amount to at least a dozen disciples at the pinnacle of mastery.
Therefore, the strength of Xia Ke Dao has been reassessed, making all forces wary of it.
It was originally thought that after the passing of the older generation of Xia Ke Island, there would be a gap in the island's strength.
But now, with the older generation gone, the young masters on Xia Ke Island are almost capable of standing on their own. Moreover, Xia Ke Island has the Zhang family behind it, and the Zhang family can also send masters to Xia Ke Island to suppress the rebellion.
For a time, the entire martial arts world was bustling with activity.
Discuss the strength of the next family to be wiped out, or who has obtained the reward and punishment decree, and can go to Xia Ke Island to drink Laba porridge.
Some factions that knew they might be purged disbanded, but they still couldn't escape death.
After the fall of Xiong Ba and the emergence of the two envoys of Xia Ke Island, a new overlord emerged in the north.
Qinglonghui!
As for the Wushen Jue Palace?
Japan became Zhang's territory, and the Emperor was also killed by Zhang. Naturally, the Wushenjue Palace could not develop.
Therefore, the Azure Dragon Society took over Xiong Ba's territory and became the new overlord.
Moreover, in terms of strength and influence, the Azure Dragon Society far surpasses the World Society.
Chapter 908 Arranging Everything Shattered Void
The storm has passed, the island of heroes has been conquered, and the empire is back on track...
Under Zhang Xiaoshan's arrangement, Kyushu entered a well-ordered and stable phase, which could at least maintain stability for 60 years.
After all, with Zhang Sheng in charge of the Nine Provinces, whose strength is second only to Zhang Xiaoshan, he is more than capable of suppressing the Nine Provinces.
Having nothing to worry about, Zhang Xiaoshan decided to pursue the 'Shattered Void'.
"Father, are you really leaving?"
Peach Blossom Island, a secluded courtyard atop the mountain.
At this moment, all the direct descendants of the Zhang family were gathered together. Even Zhang Yuan, seated at the head of the table, revealed a trace of sadness.
After all, Zhang Xiaoshan's plan to shatter the void was, in Zhang Xiaoshan's previous understanding, an extremely dangerous path with an uncertain future.
“You are all grown up now and can stand on your own. I can’t protect you forever.”
"When you reach my level, you will understand that the higher you climb, the colder it gets. At this point in the Nine Provinces, apart from the ties of family, there is absolutely no joy in life, let alone the fact that you already possess the strength to roam freely across the Nine Provinces."
Over the course of ten years, Zhang Xiaoshan had arranged everything.
At this time, Zhang Zhong also entered the twelfth level of the Pure Yang Divine Skill, achieving minor success in the divine technique.
Even though the Nine Cauldrons Divine Art has reached the late stage of the Eight Cauldrons realm, and with the existence of the Fusang Divine Tree, it's only a matter of time before Zhang Sheng reaches the Great Perfection of the Divine Art and the Nine Cauldrons realm.
From then on, the Zhang family operated both openly and covertly, and with their expansion into the New World, they were truly like a cunning rabbit with three burrows.
"Moreover, I will leave a primordial spirit in the Kunlun Palace, where your mothers are also located."
"With the Dragon Balls, you can open the gates to the underground palace and see us at any time."
"Kunlun Underground Palace??"
Upon hearing this, the somber atmosphere among Zhang Sheng, Zhang Zhong, and Zhang Shujun eased considerably.
They also knew that the underground palace was where the Queen Mother of the West sought immortality, and that behind the bronze door lay a great secret.
Since Zhang Xiaoshan wanted their mother to retire somewhere, he must have his own plans.
"Alright, the reason I called you all here today is to divide up my collection!"
These things, which you can't take with you when you're born or when you die, may not be of much use to you, but at least you won't lose face if you give them to others in the future.
Since Zhang Xiaoshan has decided to leave, he cannot take these collections with him.
Over the years, Zhang Xiaoshan has amassed a considerable collection of valuable items, and it's safe to say that any one of them, once released, would cause a bloodbath.
"Sheng'er, this is for you."
Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand, and a large box landed in front of Zhang Sheng, while giving him instructions:
"At the bottom of this room are some books containing information that is of great importance to the empire. Apart from the Zhang family's core technologies, you can select some parts and pass them on to the Ministry of Works of the empire to benefit the people!"
"Yes, Dad!"
Zhang Sheng looked at the densely packed boxes inside the box. Although he couldn't tell what they were, anything that Zhang Xiaoshan could collect must be something special.
Moreover, since he is in charge of the empire, these technologies are naturally the most important thing.
"Zhong'er, these are yours!"
Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand, handing another box to Zhang Zhong, and at the same time took out a jade bottle, instructing him:
"Zhong'er, this bottle contains the only three Bodhi Longevity Pills left!"
The reason I didn't give it to your elder brother is that the royal family does not tolerate immortals. Those who achieve immortality in the empire never have a good ending.
And the most ruthless are those in the imperial family!
Therefore, after three generations, the relationship between the imperial family and the Zhang family was completely severed to avoid future troubles.
"Got it, Dad!"
Then, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the little girl beside him and simply tossed a small box in front of her:
"Jun'er, you are the one I worry about the most here."
I let you settle in the New World because there are no strong people there, and your whereabouts are so secretive that even if you wanted to find someone, you couldn't.
The things in this box are what I asked your Ninth Aunt to prepare for you, along with the Ghost Doctor's legacy.
Even your Ninth Aunt left the Gu King Golden Silkworm to you, so you have no more taboos in the New World.
But remember, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.
The New World also boasts brilliant civilizations, so never underestimate the heritage of any tribe; these primitive tribes possess extraordinary abilities.
"Got it, Dad!"
The little girl didn't pay any attention.
After all, Murong Jiu's Gu King is no ordinary Gu King, but a Gu God-level existence.
In addition, the White Tiger and the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox were given to the little girl. These are all extraordinary beasts with talents and strength comparable to grandmasters.
Compared to the human world, the mountains and forests are their territory.
In addition, Zhang Xiaoshan hoarded all the strategic treasures, such as the Dragon Wings, the Shadowless Whip, and the Fiery Cloud Battle Suit, in another secret base of the Zhang family.
These are the true foundations of the Zhang family.
Even if something goes wrong, at least the Zhang family still has hope of rising again. A cunning rabbit has three burrows; it's impossible for it to stay confined to one corner.
·········Requesting flowers·· 0
Zhang Sheng also knew the important value of these things.
As Zhang Xiaoshan said, the most ruthless place is the imperial family.
After three generations, the relationship between the Zhang family and the empire will gradually become distant due to blood ties, and in the end, for the sake of interests, the emperor may very well target the Zhang family.
Who told the Zhang family to be so rich!
The businesses controlled by the Zhang family are all highly profitable industries, and they also involve many industries that are taboo in the empire.
Ghost Street, smuggling, steel...
It's fair to say that without family connections, the Zhang family's business would have become a target of the empire in no time.
···
A month later, under the watchful eyes of Zhang Sheng, Zhang Zhong, and others, the bronze gate of the Kunlun Underground Palace slowly closed.
Before leaving, Zhang Xiaoshan did not leave the bronze-armored warrior, the dragon ball, or the poison dragon at the Zhang family.
........ .... ...
This thing is like a nuclear weapon; it's not so easy to control.
