Chapter 498: Seizing Territory
Fire Dragon Tianzun is indeed very smart. After he entered the life and death space of Old Ancestor Tuntian, he did not immediately look for Old Ancestor Tuntian's subordinates.
Because he knew that Ancestor Tuntian's subordinates were very powerful. Originally, Ancestor Tuntian was the strongest in the entire ghost realm. These guys under Ancestor Tuntian were also arrogant and looked down on others.
If he wants to subdue these guys, he must first give them a warning and kill their arrogance.
As for how to give these guys a warning, he had already thought about it while he was outside.
After he entered the life and death space of Patriarch Tuntian, he immediately summoned all of Patriarch Skeleton's subordinates. Then he joined together with Patriarch Beiming and the more than 200,000 ghost cultivators. Then he discussed with Patriarch Beiming and picked out all the Heavenly Lords and True Lords of both sides, lined them up in a row in front, and then he led more than 300,000 troops to press forward in a mighty manner.
When the ghost cultivators under Patriarch Tuntian saw this posture, they were so frightened that their faces changed color. Their arrogance was gone, and only fear remained on their faces.
There was no way. Not only did they have much more ghost cultivators than them, they also had over a hundred thousand skeletons and twenty thousand god-level puppets leading the way. Ghost cultivators were already at a disadvantage when fighting against skeletons. Their bone frames had been refined, and their defense was stronger than that of ordinary god armor. The defense of those god-level puppets was even stronger than that of the bone frames.
As for the ghost cultivators, if they don't have divine armor, their defense is just rubbish. Once the enemy pounces on them, they won't be able to defeat them with the skeletons and god-level puppets in front of them. They can't withstand the magical powers of the ghost cultivators behind them.
Moreover, they have many more Heavenly Masters than them, and they also have an old ancestor. They simply cannot defeat them!
Seeing that these guys were scared, Fire Dragon Tianzun said loudly: "Do you want to die or live?"
Isn't this nonsense? Who wants to die? Even if you become a ghost cultivator, you don't want to be destroyed both physically and spiritually.
The Fire Dragon Heavenly Master was originally the Heavenly Master of the Ghost Realm, so several Heavenly Masters under the Sky-Swallowing Ancestor naturally knew him. They all thought that this guy was not bad, at least he was not the kind of person who did not keep his word, and he was worth negotiating with.
After they discussed it for a while, they simply asked, "Fire Dragon, what do you want?"
The tone of the person shows that he wants to negotiate.
Fire Dragon Heavenly Venerable waved his hand and said, "You guys follow me."
After saying that, he flashed to the right and brought several of Old Ancestor Tuntian's men to a place five or six hundred miles away.
The reason why he took people so far was naturally to bribe them with benefits. It would not be good if the other party's subordinates knew about this, so when discussing things, he would take people to a place where the spiritual consciousness of the True Lord and ghosts and gods could not reach them at all.
These Heavenly Masters were not mentally ill people who wanted to die. Moreover, the magic pills and monster blood crystals given to them by the Heavenly Master Fire Dragon were indeed good things for prolonging life. Naturally, the two sides reached an agreement quickly.
The task became easy after the subordinates of Patriarch Tuntian were subdued. Patriarch Qiangliang had over a hundred thousand subordinates, but even if all of them were added together, they were still not as strong as the subordinates of Patriarch Tuntian.
On their side were two old ancestors, nearly twenty Heavenly Lords, nearly a hundred True Lords, forty thousand god-level puppets, over a hundred thousand skeletons, and more than three hundred thousand ghost cultivators. They pressed forward in such a mighty force that the ghost cultivators under Old Ancestor Qiang Liang were almost scared to death.
The Fire Dragon Lord invited several Lords under Patriarch Qiang Liang to discuss the matter, and the deal was quickly reached.
When Chen Jiu saw all this outside, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise on his face.
This time, he has more than 100,000 skeletons, more than 400,000 ghost cultivators, more than 20 Heavenly Lords, and hundreds of True Lords under his command. With this lineup, he can probably defeat the remaining few ancestors in Beijuluzhou and the Ghost Realm directly.
Of course, he couldn't just rush in like that. After all, these were newly conquered people, they hadn't been reorganized yet, and their minds were not together. If he just rushed in like that, they would probably turn around and run away when they saw the ancestors on the opposite side, and would collapse at the first blow and would have no fighting power at all.
He cannot attack Uttarakuru right away, so he should seize the ghost realm first.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully, and then he used his spiritual consciousness to transmit a message to ask the Bei Ming Patriarch, the Xuan Yin Patriarch and the Fire Dragon Heavenly Venerable to gather together the more than 20 Heavenly Venerables they had subdued, transform them into the size of ordinary people, bring them out, and bring them directly to the meeting hall in the palace complex.
He scanned the area majestically, and then said solemnly: "I believe you have all heard of the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty. Many of you should have seen how I led the army to deal with the zombies under Shebi Corpse Ancestor."
Naturally, everyone has heard of the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty, because it was the Jiuye of the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty who led his army in Beijuluzhou to resist the millions of troops assembled by the Hongmeng Sect, the Western Sect and their seven ancestors from the Ghost Realm.
Upon hearing this, all the Ghost Realm Heavenly Lords nodded repeatedly.
Chen Jiu said majestically: "You may not know how powerful my Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty is . I can tell you that I have nearly 800,000 demon gods and nearly 400,000 true gods under my command. There are more than a million demon immortals and earth immortals. There are also the three ancestors outside the ghost domain, more than 100,000 god-level puppets, and hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators."
My God, with such strength, no wonder the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect didn’t dare to fight and simply withdrew from Beijuluzhou and ran away!
When all the Ghost Realm Heavenly Lords heard this, they were all shocked.
They all knew that the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty was very powerful, but they did not expect that the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty would be this powerful.
Chen Jiu said coldly: "Let me be frank. If you sincerely submit to my Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty, then of course there will be countless benefits. If you pretend to surrender, pretend to obey, but secretly disobey, or even betray me, then don't blame me for being rude.
Ancestor Tuntian, Ancestor Skull and Ancestor Qiangliang are your role models!
If you think you are stronger than these three ancestors, you can try to betray me."
Are you kidding? How can we be stronger than the three ancestors? How dare we betray Master Jiu?
All the ghost realm celestial masters shook their heads repeatedly, expressing their absolute loyalty and that they would never betray.
They said so, but whether they are really loyal still needs to be tested.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully again, and then asked: "How many ghost ancestors are there in Beijuluzhou? How strong are they?"
Almost all the Heavenly Masters present here know this.
A clever Tianzun rushed to answer, "There are still four ghost ancestors in Northern Juluzhou. As for their strength, only Shebi Corpse Ancestor is okay. At this moment, she has nearly 200,000 zombies under her command, all of which are above the second level of ghosts and gods. As for the other three ancestors combined, they are probably not as strong as her."
His strength is indeed similar to that of the ghost cultivators who surrendered to him, except that there are four more ancestors.
Of course, they also have three ancestors on the outskirts of the ghost domain, and more than 100,000 bat god puppets. In comparison, the ghost domain on their side is slightly stronger now.
Chen Jiu continued to ask: "Their lair is about to be destroyed, why don't they come back?"
Few of the Heavenly Masters present here know the answer to this question.
One of the Heavenly Venerables under the Heaven-Swallowing Ancestor was more clear about this. He said carefully: "I know a little about this. In fact, when the seven ancestors received the news, they were unwilling to come back because they were all reborn and retained the space of life and death. The Yin Qi of the ghost realm is no longer useful to them. What they need is the five elements of spiritual energy and blood.
The seven ancestors argued for a long time before finally deciding that the Sky-Swallowing Ancestor, the Skull Ancestor, and the Qiangliang Ancestor would come back to deal with the three ancestors outside the ghost domain, while the other four ancestors would stay in Beijuluzhou to guard it.
Ancestor Tuntian also said that if we fight with the three ancestors outside the ghost domain and both suffer losses this time, Ancestor Shebi Shi will most likely bring the other three ancestors to compete with us for the territory of Beijuluzhou.
At this moment, Shebi Shizu probably doesn't know that the three ancestors of Tuntian are dead. If she knew, she would definitely take the other three ancestors without hesitation to seize all the territories of the three ancestors of Tuntian in Beijuluzhou.
As for the ghost domain, they should give up. After all, taking back the ghost domain is of no use to the four of them. There is absolutely no need for them to fight for this useless ghost domain. "
So that's how it is.
This guy is quite smart. Maybe he can be trained.
Chen Jiu simply asked: "What's your name? Which ancestor did you work for?"
The Heavenly Venerable said without hesitation: "My name is Suanni, and I was originally the eldest disciple under the seat of the Heaven-Swallowing Ancestor."
Chen Jiu asked again: "Since you are the eldest disciple of the Swallowing Heaven Patriarch, why don't you think about revenge for your master and join my Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty?"
Uh, this.
Suanni Tianzun said awkwardly: "I believe everyone present here feels the same way. The ancestors in the ghost realm are all very cold and gloomy. They don't have a good face towards us disciples. They only accept us as disciples in order to send us to do things.
Moreover, they were all alien beasts in their previous lives, while we were all demons or even humans. We are not of the same race as them, and they did not really regard us as disciples, so there is no master-disciple relationship. "
The other Heavenly Lords all nodded in agreement.
It seems that these Heavenly Masters really have no feelings for the ancestors of the Ghost Realm. After all, the ancestors of the Ghost Realm are all those who survived the great war between strange beasts, and these Heavenly Masters are basically from the demon clan. They cannot be of the same clan as the ancestors of the Ghost Realm. What's more, each of these ancestors of the Ghost Realm is like a ghost, very cold and gloomy, so it is normal that they have no feelings for each other.
If this is true, then this group of Heavenly Masters can still be used.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, thought about it carefully, and asked again: "How is the territory of the seven ancestors of the ghost domain divided in Beijuluzhou? How big is the territory of the ancestors of Tiantun, Skeleton and Qiangliang in Beijuluzhou?"
Suanni Tianzun said without hesitation: "Tuntian Patriarch has the largest territory, which occupies about 30% of the entire Northern Julu Continent. Skull Patriarch occupies about 20%, Qiangliang Patriarch occupies about 15%, and the remaining three ancestors' territories add up to less than 30%. Shebi Corpse Patriarch has the smallest territory, which occupies less than half of the entire Northern Julu Continent."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Isn't Shebi Shizu very powerful? Why does he only occupy less than half of the territory?"
Suanni Tianzun explained: "This is because when the territory was divided, Shebi Shizu wanted to occupy the southern part leading to Qingmu Shenzhou, but she herself was unable to take it, and the result became like this."
It turned out that Shebi Shizu wanted to take over the territory of Kurumu Laozu, but ended up getting beaten up by him.
It seems that once the news of the death of Ancestor Tuntian, Ancestor Skeleton and Ancestor Qiangliang reaches Uttarakuru, Ancestor Shebi Corpse will definitely take the other three ancestors without hesitation to seize all the territories of Ancestor Tuntian, Ancestor Skeleton and Ancestor Qiangliang.
This news cannot yet be spread to Uttarakuru.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then asked: "Where are the territories of Tiantun Patriarch, Skull Patriarch, and Qiangliang Patriarch?"
The Suanni Tianzun said without hesitation: "The territory of the Swallowing Ancestor is in the middle and northern part of the Northern Continent, the territory of the Qiangliang Ancestor is in the western part of the Northern Continent where it borders the Ghost Domain, and the territory of the Skull Ancestor is in the easternmost part of the Northern Continent where it borders the Dongsheng Shenzhou."
Chen Jiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this and asked, "You mean the three of them haven't connected their territories yet?"
Suanni Tianzun nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, the territories of the three ancestors are not connected."
This is a bit troublesome. Even if they fight others under the banner of grabbing territory, it will not be easy to grab it.
Chen Jiu frowned and pondered for a while, then said decisively: "First, send half of your troops to Fire Dragon Heavenly Venerable.
Lord Long, you take these people to occupy the territory of Ancestor Qiangliang first, cut off the connection between the four ancestors and the ghost realm, and don't let their people come over.
Suanni Tianzun, you take the other half of the troops and follow the three ancestors Xuanming, Beiming, and Xuanyin to persuade all the ghost cultivators in the ghost domain to surrender. "
this!
How can I defeat their four ancestors?
Fire Dragon Heavenly Venerable said carefully: "Master Jiu, I'm afraid I can't resist the four of them if they rush at me!"
Chen Jiu explained carefully: "You just need to hold on for a few days at most, and I will go there after the ghost realm matters are dealt with.
Try not to get angry with them these few days. If they don't send anyone to the ghost realm, just stay in the territory of Qiang Liang Patriarch and don't say a word. If they send someone to the ghost realm, just kill them secretly."
Oh, so it was a dirty trick.
Fire Dragon Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly, and then asked: "If they send someone to ask where the ancestors Tuntian, Skull, and Qiangliang have gone, what should I say?"
this.
They certainly couldn't let Shebi Shizu's gang know that Tian Tunzu, Skeleton Zu and Qiangliang Zu were already dead.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said: "Just tell them that the ancestors Tuntian, Skeleton and Qiangliang went around to the south to first destroy the lairs of the ancestors Xuanming, Beiming and Xuanyin, and then rushed from the back to deal with the ancestors Xuanming, Beiming and Xuanyin.
They are chasing after the Xuanming Patriarch, the Beiming Patriarch, and the Xuanyin Patriarch. It may take a few days to defeat the Xuanming Patriarch, the Beiming Patriarch, and the Xuanyin Patriarch. "
Fire Dragon Heavenly Venerable and Suanni Heavenly Venerable nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Master Jiu."
Chen Jiu then explained in detail: "Master Ghost, Master Snake, tell Master Eagle to divide all the troops into three groups. Each of you will lead one group and go in three directions to persuade them to surrender. Remember, you must be quick. For those who refuse to surrender, use the Bat God Puppet to kill them all."
Patriarch Bei Ming and Patriarch Xuan Yin nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Master Jiu."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, speed up, gather your men and set off immediately."
