Chapter 251: Rebuilding Tian Ji Sect

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Ming Han Empire capital, Da Ke.

This city had been occupied by the alien cultivators before. Fortunately, the alien cultivators had designated this as one of their bases so Da Ke wasn't really damaged. After a few months of reorganization, Da Ke had largely regained its former luster and appearance as an empire capital.

After the Ming Han Emperor Bei Yingshang repaired the royal palace, the first imperial court meeting since the alien war was organised.

As he saw the sparse numbers of princes and officials in the hall, Bei Yingshang's face turned ugly. The alien cultivators suddenly descended upon Da Ke and the damages incurred by the Ming Han Empire was the greatest. The empire protecting sect, the Quasi-Heaven High Yuan Sect had been directly destroyed. A few True Lake Stage and a Nihility God Stage state protectors also lost their lives.

”During this alien invasion, my Ming Han Empire suffered the most. Even though Da Ke has largely recovered, it's still far from it's previous glory. All of you are the backbones of my Ming Han Empire, do any of you have any suggestions?” Bei Yingshang's tone was a little desolate.

He wasn't depressed over the destruction of the High Yuan Sect. With Ming Han Empire's cultivation resources, he could still develop some Quasi-Heaven sects. However, he was worried that before the Ming Han Empire reestablishes its foothold, the neighbouring Tian Shang Empire and Chi Yang Empire might act against him.

”Answering the emperor. During the recent alien invasion, our Ming Han Empire was the first to get hit. Within one to two years, we definitely don’t have any means to recover. In order to safeguard our Ming Han Empire, I believe that the first thing to do is to find a Quasi-Heaven sect to be our empire protecting sect. Secondly, we must invest a large fortune to fortify our Ming Han Empire’s army.” An emaciate elder walked forward, took a bow and said.

Bei Yingshang nodded, ”Marquis Bi is right. It's just that after this incident, the treasuries are wiped dry. We no longer have that much fortune.”

The shrivelled elder addressed as Marquis Bi answered, ”The 14th Prince and 26th Prince have always been running a good business. It’s even said that there had accumulated large amounts of gold that could be counted in the billions. At this time of Ming Han Empire’s peril, the two princes should contribute to the country. Of course, at the same time, the states which have not been affected by the war should also support the country’s reconstruction.”

No one else spoke up; in the battle between princes, it was better not to intervene.

Bei Yingshang naturally knew about the fortune his sons made in Tian Ji Sect; he simply decided to turn a blind eye to their misdeeds. Now that he heard that the two had earned fortunes in the billions, he was instantly astounded. They had made so much money but they didn’t even bother offering some to their old man. That’s not right.

”Man, call for the 14th Prince and the 26th Prince.” Bei Yingshang did not hesitate to call those two princes over for questioning.

Another minister stood forward and said, ”Answering the emperor. Two months ago, the two princes returned to Da Ke once. They didn't stay for long before leaving Da Ke. According to some intel, the two princes had hired large numbers of architects.”

In the Ming Han Empire, the princes could casually leave the capital city; they definitely wouldn't face any restrictions.

Bei Yingshang coldly snorted, ”Immediately call the two back. The Tian Ji Sect has been destroyed and they will no longer continue with their nonsense.”

Hiring architects on such a large scale, in Bei Yingshang’s perspective, was naturally because they wanted to convert the entire Tian Ji Sect territory as their own. However, this matter was clearly a ‘no-no’. Even though it was already destroyed, the Tian Ji Sect, ultimately, was still a sect. As an empire, they shouldn’t casually stick their hands into such a matter.

A middle aged burly man stood forward and bowed, ”Emperor, I wish to report something on the Tian Ji Sect.”

Bei Yingshang looked at the person speaking and his voice turned slightly softer, ”General Fei Zhen, please speak.”

Fei Zhen expressed his courtesies before saying seriously, ”I believe that not only should we stop the two princes from heading towards Tian Ji Sect, we should also confine them. Our Ming Han Empire, also shouldn’t express any interest towards Tian Ji Sect’s territory.”

”Why is that so?” Bei Yingshang immediately furrowed his brows.

The Tian Ji Sect was merely a Xuan sect and it was even destroyed by the Yu Lin Lei Clan. Why was there such a need for worry?

Fei Zhen continued seriously, ”I just received news that the Yu Lin Lei Clan had been destroyed not long ago. Not even the dogs and cats were spared. According to the rumors, it was exactly the Tian Ji Sect that destroyed the Yu Lin Lei Clan.”

”What?” Bei Yingshang suddenly stood up. Even though he was not from a sect, he was still a cultivator. He naturally knew how powerful the Yu Lin Lei Clan was. It was a power which was infinitesimally close to the Quasi-Heaven level. It was actually destroyed by the Tian Ji Sect?

Even at its best, the Tian Ji Sect shouldn't be able to destroy the Yu Lin Lei Clan? Unless the Tian Ji Sect had some hidden expert who just emerged from cultivation? After receiving the news of the Yu Lin Lei Clan destroying the Tian Ji Sect, this hidden expert went to take his revenge.

Bei Yingshang finally understood the severity of the matter. If the Tian Ji Sect truly had such a strong expert, the next target might very well be his Ming Han Empire.

The Ming Han Empire’s two princes forcefully occupied Tian Ji Sect’s secondary summits, how could the Tian Ji Sect ignore that? Moreover, these two fellas with sky-blottingly big balls were even currently going over to build over the Tian Ji Summit. If this expert heard about this, then the Ming Han Empire would be ruined.

”Could the rumors be false?” Bei Yingshang no longer cared about other matters. If such an expert really appeared in the Tian Ji Sect, then there was another huge problem on their plates. Ming Han Empire was really being placed in a precarious position.

Fei Zhen shook his head, ”It’s definitely true. During the Yu Lin Lei Clan's memorial day, the Tian Ji Sect expert used a supreme grade magic treasure to blow up the Yu Lin Lei Clan's ancestral hall. None of the Lei Clan disciples survived; they were all killed. Thereafter, the expert left and ten lower disciples of the Tian Ji Sect massacred the rest of the Lei Clan. Not a single child was left alive. Except for Lei Hongji who has left for Zhen Mo Continent, the Yu Lin Lei Clan is practically extinct.”
