"Well asked," Nan Gong Ling Yun put down his teacup, a slight smirk curling up one corner of his mouth.
Today's events had been prepared for a long time. Since he dared to bring it up openly, he naturally had the means to control these people and was not afraid they would not comply.
What he possessed was not just invincible martial prowess.Nangong Lingyun straightened up and spoke with clear articulation:
"As is well known, the Kaiyuan Sect possesses a multitude of unique resources,
Such as divine medicines, spiritual herbs, soul bones, soul spirits, martial arts techniques, self-created combat skills, god-given soul rings, super-limited soul rings, a vast amount of profound theoretical knowledge on martial souls, exclusive development paths for special martial souls, and even opportunities for divine trials.
These resources were previously only accessible to the core disciples of the Kaiyuan Sect,
The achievements of the beneficiaries, I believe, have already come to your attention."From the moment the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was established and I became the emperor of the empire, the Kaiyuan Gate automatically transformed into the national guardian sect, and its resources were simultaneously opened to those who had made meritorious contributions under its governance.
This newly established organization, although lenient and without strict rules and regulations, is also under the jurisdiction of the empire.
The imperial court will release some tasks that are beyond its capacity as free missions in the form of points or other resource rewards, allowing members to freely accept them.
Upon completion, they can earn merits, and based on the accumulated amount, they can exchange for the aforementioned items at clearly marked prices.Take the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, for example. Affected by the degradation of their martial souls, they can only cultivate up to the Soul Saint level.
This issue, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, can be resolved with just ten million merits."
As soon as these words were spoken, those who had been calm and composed earlier were visibly unsettled.
Some began to show interest, after all, the wonders of the Kaiyuan Gate and its miraculous aspects had already spread throughout the entire soul master community, and everyone had been coveting them for quite some time.
Especially the divine soul rings and the locations for deity trials, which the Asura God King had just promised in front of everyone.Some individuals, such as Xue Ye, Dai Tianli, and Tang Chen, immediately sensed that something major was about to go wrong.
Compared to the newly established Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, other factions were already at a complete disadvantage in terms of both high-end combat power and mid-level strength.
If they were to lose the allegiance of major sects, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And it wasn't just these allied noble families; who could guarantee that the small and medium noble soul masters under their command had no desire for the resources of the Kaiyuan Sect?
Once they rejected the other party, the stark reality of "complete collapse" would be right in front of them.Several people were anxiously waiting in their hearts, and Ning Fengzhi had already made up his mind. He turned to look at the two Douluos, Sword and Bone, and upon seeing no signs of opposition in their eyes, he immediately stood up with a radiant smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Kaiyuan Sect have always been friendly, and the Ning clan has a long-standing connection with you, the Great Emperor.
My daughter was the first among the upper three sects to join your academy's team and training camp, and she had voluntarily joined before the news of the divine medicine was revealed."Regarding many of the policies of the Heavenly Kingdom, I truly empathize with them. However, as a support-type individual, I am simply unable to make a difference, which is why I am forced to reluctantly deal with those corrupt nobles.
Today, the Great Emperor, with a heart to save the world, vows to fight for a future for the people and the world. I, Feng Zhi, admire his brilliance and naturally choose to follow him.
Having drifted through life for half a century, I regret not having met a wise ruler. If the Great Emperor does not reject me, I am willing to pledge my allegiance as his subject."
As Ning Fengzhi spoke, he deeply bowed in reverence.
Several people nearby immediately widened their eyes, as if they had been struck by an immense shock.The face of the Snow Night Emperor turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
After all, he was the state preceptor and the crown prince's teacher of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Nan Gong Lingyun merely asked them to join a lenient organization, yet the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect directly pledged allegiance and recognized him as their master? The phrase "acknowledge as sovereign" was not something to be uttered lightly.
They even went so far as to proactively sever ties with others, fearing that their submission wasn't thorough enough. This...
Damn it, the leader of the esteemed Three Upper Sects, did he really not care about his dignity at all?
Facing the astonished gazes of everyone, Ning Fengzhi's expression remained as serene as a spring breeze, unaffected in the slightest.Loyalty that is not absolute equates to absolute disloyalty. If surrender and alignment leave room for doubt, how can one expect the other party to trust wholeheartedly?
Moreover, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom boasts high-end combat power with figures like Nangong Lingyun and the Heavenly Blade Douluo, mid-tier armed forces with its firearm-equipped army, future potential with numerous geniuses from the training camps, and the complete support of the common people.
With this open strategy in play, even the main force of the spirit masters will be won over. In a situation where victory is assured and the possibility of loss is nowhere to be seen, what's wrong with a swift surrender? Not surrendering swiftly would be the real folly.As for those policies that suppress the nobility and protect the common people,
the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect actually doesn't care much about them.
A sect primarily focused on auxiliary-type martial souls most appreciates and seeks civilian geniuses; the less background they have, the more they become one of their own once cultivated.
Compared to other forces, their reputation is much better.
Ning Fengzhi's reaction was not surprising to Nangong Lingyun; merely the act of completing the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda was something he couldn't refuse.However, the other party's decisive action and their immediate pledge to join the empire rather than just participate in a loose organization still left him quite satisfied.
With everyone lifting the sedan chair, Nangong Lingyun also promptly accorded Ning Fengzhi considerable respect on the spot,
"I have heard of the deeds of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect before. In an era where the nobility is generally corrupt, it is indeed difficult to remain virtuous and maintain a shred of conscience.
Now, leading the sect to join us, you set an example for all,
I hereby confer upon Ning Fengzhi the title of Marquis of Wenyuan, ranking fourteenth among the nobility, and temporarily appoint him as a second-rank minister in the Ministry of Works, responsible for the construction of the new imperial capital."Ning Fengzhi was granted the title of Dust Heart Sincerity Earl, and Gu Rong was appointed as the Righteous Heart Earl, both ranked at the fourteenth level, holding the rank of third-grade Protector General, responsible for guarding the imperial capital and protecting the Ministry of Works.
Other members of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect were also granted titles after discussions between Earl Wenyuan and the Grand Minister of Works.
"Your humble servant, following the imperial decree, is determined to construct an unprecedented and magnificent capital for Your Majesty."
Ning Fengzhi instantly understood the profound implications of Nangong Lingyun's arrangement.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was as wealthy as a nation, with the number of soul masters second only to the Spirit Hall. Building the imperial capital would inevitably require enormous resources and the assistance of a large number of soul masters. Isn't this just perfect?But he embraced it willingly. Faced with the hope of breaking through his title and extending his life by two hundred years, all wealth seemed like external possessions—things that one neither brings into life nor takes away in death. What use was it then? It had to be spent lavishly, the grander and more magnificent, the better.
After Ning Fengzhi pledged his allegiance, the outcome of the remaining events was almost certain. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Great Spirit Arena Family Alliance, and the Grand Auction House Family Alliance all declared their intention to join.
The two great empires, along with the Haotian Sect and the Spirit Hall, excused themselves, claiming they needed to return home for discussions before making a final decision.
After these individuals departed, the meeting continued.In the following half hour, the newly established soul master organization was named the Soul Master Union. The union established the Assembly of All Titled Douluos as the highest authority and elected the Golden Crocodile Douluo as the first principal leader.
Subordinate to it were the Supervision and Punishment Department, and the Finance and Audit Department, both staffed by imperial appointees; the Secretariat, responsible to the Titled Alliance; the Task Department, responsible for issuing and fulfilling bounties; and the Organization Department, handling other daily affairs.
Additionally, there were several branches and temporary institutions set up for specific matters, such as the Special Committee for Supporting the Capital's Construction.
