Chapter 753
Eighteen celestial fiend puppets lined up behind Princess Zhang Le on the beach in Dong Hai Province .
Some of the puppets were released by Wu Qi outside You Xiong Plain, while others were summoned back by Princess Zhang Le using the spell he had left behind . Years ago, after he was attacked by Daoist Chi and Daoist Min with a Primordial talisman, he had released some puppets and ordered them to develop their own powers throughout Pangu Continent . Later on, he also sent the tens of thousands of cultivators and immortals he rescued from the mine in the Dark Abyss to aid these puppets .
Upon learning that someone had torn apart the void and sent Wu Qi to an unknown place, Princess Zhang Le immediately summoned all the puppets and ordered them to return to Dong Hai City with all their subordinates; as well as all the treasures and money they had accumulated over the years, as quickly as possible .
It was said that troubled times were the best time to accumulate wealth . Thanks to the war between Great Yu and Myriad Immortal Alliance, these puppets had recruited tens of thousands of cultivators and immortals who had been forced to wander about because their homes had been destroyed in just a few years . In addition, taking the opportunity that Great Yu was caught up in the war, they wantonly mined all kinds of minerals and energy veins, and harvested numerous natural treasures from different places . Therefore, they had also brought back countless rare and precious treasures .
As Princess Zhang Le was listening to the intelligence brought back by a few secret agents of the Scouting Office, nearly a hundred thousand cultivators and immortals were hiding in the dragon palace built by Lord Xiansheng in the depths of the East Sea . Standing in silence behind her, eighteen puppets fixed their deep and emotionless eyes on the few secret agents, sending forth an immense pressure that caused cold sweats to roll off the informers' foreheads . Despite that, the agents stood straight like pillars, and their bodies did not shiver or sway .
The news of Wu Qi's disappearance had reached Zhong Province, and as expected, Yu Miao was the first to jump out . He openly demanded that Great Yu should strip Wu Qi of his title and recover his land, since he had perished together with the divine beasts, who came at him for revenge, and left no heir to inherit his title . Yu Miao even suggested that since most of Dong Hai Province was made up of land divided from Zhong Province, then Zhong Province should have jurisdiction over it .
He had also suggested to all the rich and powerful clans in Zhong Province that after retaking Dong Hai Province, all of them should send their elite sons to compete for the Prefecture Overseer's office, on the grounds that a large, populous province like this should never be thrown into chaos because no one was in charge .
Yes, Dong Hai Province had a large population today!
After the Human Emperor conferred Wu Qi the third-grade Marquis of Dong Hai Province, the province was put on Great Yu's list of third-grade provinces . As it was upgraded to a third-grade province, Dong Hai Province should look like one . At the very least, a population of several million did not live up to its grade . As a result, the officials of Great Yu were busy migrating more people over while Ji Ao was doing all he could as a good superior, transferring tens of millions of people under his rule to Dong Hai Province .
In any way, as a super province with land comparable to several ordinary provinces combined, and a population destined for rapid growth, Dong Hai Province had already aroused the greed of many people even without the need of Yu Miao jumping out to stir up the storm . Nevertheless, after Yu Miao made his claim openly, many of Zhong Province's rich and powerful clans began to echo him . They demanded Bo Zhongfu to quickly plead with the Human Emperor that if Wu Qi was unable to fulfill his duties as Prefecture Overseer, his title and the land of Dong Hai Province should be taken back immediately .
What the few secret agents brought back was exactly the intelligence of Yu Miao's dealings with many powerful figures in Zhong Province these days .
With her hands tucked up in her sleeves and a calm expression, Princess Zhang Le looked at the moon rising slowly from the horizon as she said in a soft voice, "How could Wu Qi die so easily? I can feel that he is still alive and having some nasty ideas . "
She pursed her lips in a smile, then said airily, "But, since someone is looking to die, I have no choice but to teach him a lesson! Step up the assassination of Yu Miao's lineal descendants! Increase manpower, spare no efforts and cost! I want all those associated with him killed, even the relatives of the servants working in his mansion!"
A strange gleam could be seen flickering in her eyes as she said in a grim tone, "Inform brother Chengfeng that all hands in Dong Hai Province are at his disposal . He can freely command all the cultivators, immortals, and demons we had subdued, except for our immediate subordinates . Tell him to do whatever it takes to make Yu Miao suffer, and take revenge on him with the most brutal means . Kill his male relatives, captive his female relatives, and then get the news of his relatives' murder out as fast as possible, so that the world know that he can't even protect his own relatives!"
She gave a cold laugh, then clenched her teeth and said, "Also, I want those powerful figures who colluded with Yu Miao to be killed . As for those who cannot be assassinated due to their tight defense or formidable strength, kill their children and grandchildren! In short, give them a hard time! If their children and grandchildren are also heavily protected, poison the rivers in their territories, burn their fields and forests, destroy their underground energy veins, spread all kinds of plague, and throw their territory into chaos!"
She flicked her long sleeves, sending two gusts of wind that whistled forward and smashed a few large rocks on the beach to pieces . "Since they are eying our territory, let us destroy their lands!" snapped the princess . "At any cost and casualties, using all means to deter them, destroy them, make them cry, make them fear, make them despair…so that in the end, they can only kneel in front of us in tears!"
