e. While placing the card will erect a gate in this location, it doesn't mean it will seamlessly integrate with the surrounding terrain.The terrain here is still natural and would require extensive mo...The beginning of the 10th year of Mengjin.

The Classic of Internal Medicine: Records of the Sealed Mountain, Part of the Northern Migration.

It turned out that Master Chen Lu's scheme to publicize his good deeds was only for the sake of extending the sect's lifespan by three years.

In troubled times, the price of doing business is extremely high.

Since the mountain gate opened, in order to save the world from a great calamity, over three-fifths of the disciples have been lost.

In fact, Lu Jing does not possess the ability to manage, and the sect is hollow inside.

Whether the Inner Gate will ever be able to emerge again, all the disciples know deep down in their hearts.

The very foundation of the school has been completely destroyed.

Lu Cheng never expected that after nine years of leaving home, Su Wen's condition would have deteriorated to this point.

Lu Jing originally hoped that Taoyuan Qian would make some achievements first, and then move the sect over.

But the head of Taoyuan Hall refused to give up his research on the deceased, which led to a conflict with the Jiangnan forces. Lu Jing could only choose the final reinforcement.

In reality, Lu Cheng would never give up on the Yin Qi he already had.

If you give up, then you become a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others. You might not even have the chance to strike a decisive blow against your enemies!

Before departing, the disciples of the Su Wen Pavilion settled all the patients, closed the mountain gate, and took away all remaining aid destined for Jiangnan.

Such a result is thought-provoking.

The gatekeeper left a last will before he died.

I hope Chen Lùtang will lead the remaining disciples to the Linghu Mountain, Suwen Old Site.

As long as he can do it, he will be the next head of Ling Shu School after Su Wen. All matters, big and small, within the faction will be overseen by Lu Cheng.

After a pot of thin wine, Lu Cheng had already begun to shed his snake skin and board the ship.

The toxic parts were dissected for biological research, while the non-toxic parts were peeled apart to be used as materials.

Yao Ji looked at the figure busy beside the mirage tower.

She let out a long sigh.

Lù Jìng, the master of the gate, was dead. Seeing the scene before her, Yáo Jī secretly wept.

The lineage of Huangdi's Dao may be about to be broken.

However, Uncle doesn't know where he is.

Yaoji estimates that this generation is hopeless in reconstructing the Yellow Emperor's divine body.

The

Suwen is the only remaining lineage of her family, but she doesn't have the divine protection of a Shennü to watch over them. It's truly heartbreaking.

"They could die for their beliefs, and that would be a good thing. Just like those Jiangnan refugees, many of them have become mindless zombies in their haze of misery, barely able to feed themselves, let alone actively pursue their ideals." Lu Cheng saw Yao Ji's state was poor and distressed, so he took some time to comfort her.

"The Sword Master seems to have been unaffected."

"Don't you think I'm extraordinary" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed. A little bit." Sometimes, she truly felt these old mountain soldiers' nerves were too tough.

Still remember after the Battle of Dahuang Mountain, she led the charge to aid the wounded.

Bai Qi, the elite under Zhou Yu's command, fought fiercely with the formidable warriors of Jincheng. Even against the elite troops led by Hector, they remained unbroken.

Lu Cheng explained that soldiers who haven't experienced three large-scale battles or more wouldn't be eligible for the Shan Hai Division. Instead, they would join reserve or auxiliary military units.

Only elite soldiers with experience in more than five battles could enter the Imperial Guard.

This has resulted in the number of Shan Hai Shi troops currently not exceeding 50,000, which is still the result of reinforcements after the battles of Yanmen and Sisui.

This is also all the soldiers under Lu Cheng's command.

In terms of numbers, it was even less than the Golden Legion, far fewer than the Colossian Legion and the Plutofort Legion.

"Because that's useless." Lu Cheng put down the mechanical part in his hand and slowly sat down, looking at the murky river water: "Before, we also experienced separation and grief, crying and begging for mercy. Perhaps commemorating the dead was to make the living feel more at ease, but there were too many faces lost, friends, brothers, sisters... most of them were buried in this war. As time went on, we realized that only by achieving victory, complete victory, could we truly appease our souls, both the living and the dead."

"You're right." Yao Ji nodded in agreement.

"Besides," Lu Cheng scoffed, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Good"

"Alright, get to work and help peel the snake!"

Jinlong led Lu Cheng away, and the Mingjiao controlled the Wang family.

The Wang family wanted to infiltrate the Southern Dynasty with their political capital.

Unfortunately, this time the plan fell through.

Players are not omniscient, in fact, on the table, every move is a gamble!

Lu Cheng did not expect Su Wen to seal the mountain, nor did he expect the death of Lu Jingmen's master.

And Jin Long hadn't expected the Wang family to turn against him.

The nine-headed serpent is dead, and Jin Long originally thought that the Wang family had lost their support and could only rely on the Underworld Sect.

Unexpectedly, after the snake's death, the Wang family killed all the Hu people and destroyed the evidence.

Afterward, the Heavenly Demon Sect was framed as the mastermind behind the Jiangnan disaster.

Wang Shang and Hui Jianye went to see the emperor, informing him that the Mingjiao and Suwen had colluded and plotted the disturbances in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Dark Cult is at work, instigating disaster with the nine-headed serpent. The Yellow Emperor seeks clarity in the light, aiming to gather people under his banner through this calamity and establish a kingdom of righteousness in Jinzhong!

The evidence of the "Suwen" regarding evil and the hidden communication of the Mingjiao are presented one by one.

Wang presented many pieces of evidence related to the Cult of Hades, including letters, some real and some fabricated.

The family, together with the Jiangnan aristocratic families and Xu, the leader of the court faction, worked in unison to crush the conspiracies of Su Wen and the Nether Sect.

Now the *Su Wen* is being driven north, and the Underworld Sect still lurks in the shadows.

The Wang family respectfully requests the emperor to issue an order.

Extermination of the faith!

The emperor saw the evidence firsthand and found it very detailed. The ins and outs of what happened in the Jiangnan region indeed seemed like this.

After being misled, he ordered the extermination of the Southern Dynasty's Yin Sect!

Jin Long has always been the one to frame others, but this was something he hadn't anticipated.

Politics is a tricky game.

Lu Cheng dodged, Jin Long took over, but he was obviously at a disadvantage.

Now he's in cahoots with Lu Cheng! Can you believe it

The originally neutral cards in the table were flipped red.

severely impacts progress.

The plan to infiltrate the Wang family from within has temporarily failed due to external factors, and we have fallen into a stalemate.

Lu Cheng's side suffered some heavy losses.

However, this first level is considered passed.

And obtained a large amount of 【Hydra Meat】, and also a legendary material 【Hydra Heart】.

Lu Cheng knew that this thing could be used to ascend stars for suitable monster race cards, and it could also be combined with water essence to synthesize [Snake Gall Wine] for the use of the faction.

The meat of the Nine-Headed Serpent is enough to support their own clan's advancement, while 【Snake Gall Wine】 can support the expenses of the sect's cards.

I still have a lot of planted Soul-Solace Willows.

The mirage's durability has also been repaired in the winter, and it is completely ready to depart.

The sect still has a considerable amount of resources on hand.

As the Dead King willingly relinquished his position, this second stage seemed rather straightforward.

The Southern Dynasty Dao Alliance has a low opinion of Lu Cheng because he raised Xie Yi, and their relationship is strained.

While the Beidao Celestial Master Alliance actively reached out to Lu Cheng.

They have already established a large formation in the Jiujing area, blocking the demon soldiers coming from Chang'an and Luoyang.

Having learned that Nan Suwen had broken through the blockade of the Yangtze River, they were still willing to acknowledge Suwen's status in Daomen and requested Master Chen to advance north immediately.

Lu Cheng had been fighting for many years, and he knew that once he led his people north and besieged Chang'an City, he could immediately force the Jie tribe to retreat from the river. All he had to do before that was to capture major cities, which would be considered clearing the hurdle.

And he also wanted to march north immediately.

There are roughly 60,000 militiamen and a small number of disciples from various sects.

On the table, Meng Jin's Five Husbands and Sixteen Kingdoms have been in constant warfare for years, with evil spirits swarming everywhere. Most of them are not suitable for human card dwellers.

Optional city type cards are only available for 【Chang'an】 and 【Luoyang】.

First, one must allow the people to take root in the city.

From here, it is almost a thousand miles.

Militia can produce 【Snake Soup】 and sects can produce 【Snake Gall Wine】. Although the quality is lower, the quantity is still sufficient.

Lu Cheng had replenished his cards to the fullest. Without Changbai Mountain, these supplies wouldn't last long and it would be a waste to leave them unused.

Under the condition that supplies are fully replenished, it is hoped that militias will support an assault of this distance.

As long as we don't collapse before reaching Chang'an Demon City, then that counts as half the success!

(The End)ly normal." A cardmaster from the ghost ship walked over and leaned against the deck."Is this normal" Lu Cheng retracted a fishing rod beside him, the tip of which had a faint layer of frost.The ghost...
