The news of not returning to Hong Kong was flying all over the place, so it was naturally Lou Cheng's operation.
Enhance the reputation of Loucheng and increase the monks' sense of crisis. When they are panicked, Loucheng will give them a way out.
There are almost no restrictions. As long as you join Loucheng within the time limit, you will be able to obtain safe asylum.
For monks who are frightened but don't know how to choose, Loucheng will undoubtedly be the best choice.
If we want to accomplish this, we will definitely need the cooperation of Beijiang.
After experiencing the incident involving Lord Blackwater, the top management in Northern Xinjiang were frightened and are now looking for ways to protect themselves and break through.
Taking the initiative to make good friends with Lou Cheng and leaving a way out for themselves became their inevitable choice.
During the exchange between the two parties, Lou Cheng made some small requests, and Beijiang would try his best to satisfy them.
For example, a dedicated channel is opened so that practitioners can freely join Loucheng, instead of being directly cut off like in the past and unable to join Loucheng.
Now that there is an opportunity, both the Southern Alliance and Northern Xinjiang, as well as the casual monks, will definitely take action immediately.
This is also the last chance. If the monk is still hesitant, he will have to bear the consequences himself.
Once war comes, there will be no luck.
The appearance of this order also conveyed a message, which represented a change in the confrontation between Loucheng and Beijiang. Now Loucheng has firmly gained the upper hand.
First, the Loucheng monks took action to discover and kill True Lord Blackwater, and then came the order to open the passage. This represented the weakness and compromise of the Northern Xinjiang camp.
Lou Cheng's series of operations will inevitably establish the mainland's hegemony in a short period of time.
With the improvement in status, it will be easier to do some things, and outside monks will not be too resistant to Lou Cheng.
For example, nowadays, the attitude of monks in Northern Xinjiang towards Loucheng has undergone considerable changes.
They knew about the Secret Cult of Adventing Gods and knew that Lou Cheng helped resolve a catastrophe, and the monks from Northern Xinjiang were the most direct beneficiaries.
Coupled with the change in the attitude of the higher-ups, the lower-level monks will naturally be affected and will no longer be hostile to Loucheng.
If there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, I will not resist, and will even actively cooperate.
Attitude is very important and is also the basis for cooperation.
If there was an opportunity to gather the monks from the Northern Xinjiang camp, Tang Zhen would naturally dream of it.
Training such a large number of practitioners requires massive resources and a long time.
Loucheng has no shortage of resources and can afford to support these monks, but it lacks the most time.
Especially since the war is about to begin, it is a critical moment for hiring people. Tang Zhen naturally hopes to have more practitioners under his command.
The senior officials in Beijiang were very aware of Tang Zhen's plans, but they had no plans to expose or resist them.
These infant-level monks consider themselves first, and the survival and dignity of the Northern Xinjiang camp second.
If they can show their kindness to Lou Cheng without suffering much loss themselves, they will naturally not object and refuse.
Not to mention that because of True Monarch Blackwater, everyone in the northern Xinjiang monks was in danger, and no one knew which of them was a believer in the secret sect.
The investigation is ongoing, but it is difficult to find the hidden enemy. To be able to operate in northern Xinjiang for such a long time, the hiding methods are naturally quite clever.
Under such special circumstances, if Lou Cheng is publicly targeted, it will inevitably lead to suspicion of evil intentions.
When the time comes, there will be an investigation and various forces will be involved, and something may happen even if nothing happens.
As expected, after the news was released, monks began to pour into Daqi in a steady stream.
When they entered Daqi territory, they were not in a hurry to join Loucheng, but still maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
Entering Daqi with original intention and taking the initiative to register your identity is a reflection of your attitude in itself.
Loucheng allows them to wait and see, and they are confident enough to believe that these monks will join Loucheng sooner or later.
There are also many monks who have decisively applied to become preparatory residents. In addition to many Southern League monks and casual cultivators, there are even some practitioners from Northern Xinjiang.
They did not disclose their identities to prevent adverse effects and thus shake the stability of the northern Xinjiang camp.
Looking at their identities, most of them are related to the top leaders of Northern Xinjiang, and they are even direct descendants of the other party.
Letting them join Loucheng is obviously more optimistic about Loucheng's ability to resist risks and solves its own worries.
In this way, you can express your attitude to Lou Cheng, and you can even treat this behavior as a hostage.
The war has not yet begun, but private actions are happening one after another. Similar to animals before an earthquake, they already have a premonition before the incident occurs.
There are even high-level officials from Beijiang who have quietly joined Loucheng.
The person who joined was none other than Wuming Zhenjun. He was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and he would never let go easily.
He visited Loucheng at the appointed time and had a private conversation with Tang Zhen. After the meeting, he decisively joined Loucheng.
The Nameless True Lord's lifespan is short, which is why he is frightened, but for Tang Zhen, it is not a big problem at all.
The special environment of Loucheng and the life-extending elixirs for sale were enough to extend his lifespan by several decades.
Another transformed infant has reached perfection, and half of the requirements for promotion have been fulfilled. Tang Zhen is naturally very happy.
If this situation develops, I am afraid that Lou Cheng will have the opportunity to be promoted to level four in less than a year.
At that time, the pressure brought by the monks in the upper world will be easily resolved.
However, Tang Zhen knew very well that even if he dominated the lower realm, it did not mean he was truly invincible.
The upper realm is the sharp sword hanging above the head, which may fall down at any time. If Loucheng wants to continue to develop, it must get rid of the prison of the lower realm.
Entering the upper realm for development is a choice that must be made sooner or later.
When that day comes, the enemies Lou Cheng will face will become powerful practitioners of the upper realm.
When the time comes there are so many powerful enemies, will Lou Cheng be able to fight against them?
Regarding this issue, Tang Zhen only thought about it for less than three seconds before deciding not to waste any more time.
Until now, he has not understood the situation in the upper bound, let alone formulated corresponding countermeasures.
It is actually very stupid to take on too much pressure too early and make yourself unhappy all day long.
The main reason is that Tang Zhen has extreme trust in the Cornerstone platform and confirms that when he encounters a crisis, he will definitely be able to find an effective solution.
Past experiences are the best answer.
When the building city was first built, a cultivator at the level of refining the gods seemed to be unattainable.
But looking at it now, the god-refining monks are no longer worth mentioning, especially after having the Divine Mirror of Time, there will definitely be god-refining monks everywhere in Loucheng in the future.
The threats posed by the upper realm can be treated in the same way. They seem invincible now, but they may not be worth mentioning in the future.
In the following period, many monks applied to join Loucheng every day. Even if there were people who sincerely sought refuge, there was also no shortage of people with evil intentions.
Zaku's innate magical power came in handy once again, and he was busy from morning to night.
Once a lurking enemy or someone with evil intentions is discovered, they will be sent to a secret prison without hesitation.
The number of helmeted monks has once again increased rapidly. With the addition of newcomers, the earliest batch of helmeted monks have begun to gain freedom one after another.
If your loyalty meets the standards, you will naturally be qualified to join Loucheng. You can apply to peel off the helmet and return it to normal status.
A strange situation happened: no one was willing to remove the helmets of the freed monks.
They have already discovered that the helmet is an artifact for cultivation and has many powerful functions.
Such top-notch auxiliary equipment is something you can't even get on a daily basis, so how can you give it up so easily.
Moreover, after obtaining the resident qualification, Lou Ling will automatically turn off the punishment function of the helmet, leaving only those useful auxiliary options.
With such a choice, there is no reason to give up.
When Tang Zhen heard about this, he found it very interesting. He did not expect that a torture device used to restrain and punish prisoners would actually make the victims reluctant to part with it.
The function of the helmet was so favored that Tang Zhen would not ignore it. He logged on to the Cornerstone platform again to see if there was a suitable helmet. It would be best if every monk in Loucheng could have one.
