As time passed, the majority of the forces of the Human Clan were prepared, waiting for the moment when the Immortal Dynasty's array barrier would disappear.

Of course, they could enter now, but the statement jointly issued by the Five Sects and Seven Schools was there, so no one dared to act rashly at this moment.

But when the barrier completely collapses, the words of the Five Sects and Seven Schools won't be so effective.

In the eyes of most people, even the Five Sects and Seven Schools couldn't resist the temptation of such a large treasure. Even if Sect Master Zheng and others were high-minded, as the leaders of their sect, could they not consider their disciples?

Even reputable sects need to 'eat', so it's only a matter of time before the Five Sects and Seven Schools lift the restrictions.

At most, they would offer some degree of protection to the people inside the Dynasty to avoid them getting caught up.

This was anticipated by all sects and families, and they indeed hoped to protect the Dynasty's citizens so...

They could seize the geniuses and strengthen themselves!

Of course, Immortals must be prohibited from entering, otherwise how could one compete with the Five Sects and Seven Schools?

Thus, everyone was quietly waiting for the moment when the array barrier would collapse completely.

North of Yanbei Pass, in the Dragon Spring Domain.

In a hall embodying the momentum of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, twelve figures sat around a table.

They were representatives of the Five Sects and Seven Schools.

"That's settled then."

Shangguan Qizheng stroked his beard: "Let those who are too eager act as the vanguard, charging in and dying, so they would sit quietly at the negotiation table."

The 'small sects and factions' referred to by the old man were mostly Second Grade Sects and families. After all, forces too weak didn't qualify, only when those Second Grade Sects suffered heavy casualties would people realize that the Dynasty is a treasure trove filled with hidden dangers.

No one present objected.

Those present had already gained a basic understanding of the situation in the Dynasty. Besides a few on Lu Jin'an's side, the others also intended to let smaller sects and factions scout first.

What if there were hidden dangers?

As people left one by one, soon only Ji Wenchang, Shangguan Qizheng, Qi Huizu, and 'Xiao Yinruo' remained.

Shangguan Qizheng reined in his smile and looked at Ji Wenchang: "No issues on Jin'an's side, right?"

Ji Wenchang shook his head: "As long as we follow the plan, there shouldn't be any variables."

Shangguan Qizheng nodded and suddenly sighed: "It's been a long time since such a massive treasure trove appeared, the stability of the Three Great Dynasties is of utmost importance."

The rest nodded lightly. Even when the Human Clan rose to power in the past, it was hard to avoid internal struggles when occupying new territories.

This is human nature.

And now, the Human Clan is so stable internally, the struggle for opportunities among the Three Great Dynasties will be even more brutal than before.

Especially since the Three Great Dynasties contain populations in the billions that cannot be ignored.

If Jin'an doesn't handle it well, so many people being easily swayed could just rush out of the border, heading towards the legendary Immortal World, and at that time, settling on the other side would be a walk in the park.

And those who ran outside the border would ultimately become resources for others to manipulate.

Those with talent would be absorbed by the sects and families, those with average talent would fend for themselves, and the less talented would be left to their own devices...

And as long as expectations aren't met, chaos would follow.

Rather than that, it's better to let the already existing Dynasty govern itself, in this way, it's the most stable method to secure the situation.

The premise is that Lu Jin'an's plan is without issues.

"Rumors have already spread about Lu Jin'an laying the groundwork in the Dynasty." Qi Huizu spoke up at this moment: "Some of them came from my sect.

I've already sent people to monitor, and they could be arrested at any time."

"They're really hard to eradicate."

"After all, it's been thousands of years."

Qi Huizu lowered his eyelids slightly: "The time has about come, that barrier should be starting to collapse."

······

Cracks like spider webs hung over the entire Dynasty, and with the appearance of the eastern dawn, they quietly turned into particles of light, vanishing from sight.

Almost at the first moment the barrier disappeared, countless cultivators swarmed in like locusts, pouring into the border.

Standing high in the air, 'Xiao Yinruo' calmly watched this scene, while Zhu Nanzhi quickly asked: "Master, can I go in now?"

'Xiao Yinruo' shook her head: "Don't rush, wait until the first batch of people are dead before going in."

"But..."

'Xiao Yinruo' cut her off: "Listen to your Master!"

While speaking, she couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed inside, originally she wouldn't care about whether Nanzhi would go in, but last time when Jin'an came out to achieve a breakthrough, she had secretly placed a feather on Jin'an.

It turned out she saw her apprentice having an intimate relationship with Dongfang Xinglan where you integrated me, and I integrated you.

Even now, these two were still in that Chang'an Hall and hadn't come out yet.

If Nanzhi were to go in, who knows if this girl wouldn't immediately draw her sword.

'Xiao Yinruo' felt quite 'resentful' inside, not only did her apprentice hide his affair with Yinruo from her, but now even Dongfang Xinglan was kept from her...

Does this naughty apprentice even have a Master in his eyes!?

'Wait till your Master deals with you...'

'Xiao Yinruo' slightly clenched her hands, a cold smile involuntarily appearing.

Within the Dynasty.

"Why did the sky suddenly turn dark?"

The citizens preparing for the New Year looked up in confusion, but they didn't see the sky turning dark, nor did they see rain. Instead, figures either controlling swords or riding beasts came into view in this moment.

"It's people, there really are Immortals walking on air?!"

"Look, such large flying birds!"

"Is that a Dragon?"

At this moment, for the citizens of the Dynasty, the mythological stories were being reflected into reality for the first time.

The Imperial City, Qiming City.

Cabinet Ministers silently read the intelligence quickly transmitted from the border.

Those who had initially doubted His Majesty's words now utterly believed that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond the heavens.

"Immortals... truly exist..."

"Prime Minister, if according to His Majesty's previous words, the Dynasty is full of treasures, wouldn't they all benefit these outsiders? How is that different from the days under the oppression of the Evil God?"

"His Majesty had prior knowledge and must have had preparations, and don't forget, our Majesty can also walk in the air!"

"But there is only one Majesty, how can one counter so many Immortals?"

"Grand Secretary, if that Saint Lu is truly the Saint Heir of the World's No.1 Immortal Sect, His Majesty's actions would have offended him, then don't we have no retreat?"

"Are you implying blame on His Majesty?"

"I dare not..."

"His Majesty has his decisions, and besides, even without offending Saint Lu, Saint Lu intended to sever the Dynasty's people's Immortal Paths, as such, it was already an irreconcilable relationship!"

The civil and military officers present exchanged looks, but could only be anxious.

As figures at the pinnacle of a dynasty, they naturally understood that being behind leads to being beaten, but at this moment, they couldn't come up with any useful methods.

Even if they wanted to cultivate, they wouldn't know where to start.

At this moment, Hong Ying hurried in: "His Majesty has decreed, everyone to the square in front of Chang'an Hall!"

······

Inside Chang'an Hall.

Dongfang Xinglan slowly put on the crown robe, covering the kiss marks left after a whole day.

"So those cultivators who entered the Dynasty's borders to seize Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, I can kill them all, right?"

She asked yet again, while turning her head to look at Lu Jin'an who was still sitting on the Dragon Chair: "The number of these cultivators exceeds a hundred thousand."

Lu Jin'an nodded: "The original plan was to let them explore the way, but since they're disobediently robbing and pillaging, then kill them."

"As long as you say so." Dongfang Xinglan smiled slightly: "You should hurry up and get dressed too." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"This is for you." Lu Jin'an took out a large Communication Compass from the storage space: "With this, the whole Dynasty will know just how resolute their Emperor is for their sake."

"I don't know how to use it!"

"It's fine, I'll teach you."

"Hmm... Then hurry up and get dressed... You aren't weak in the knees, are you?"

"Hehe... who was it begging for mercy again?"

"Hmph~ at best it was harming a thousand enemies, and losing eight hundred myself!"

Dongfang Xinglan fastened her belt: "If you hadn't toyed with electricity later... you'd be the one crying for fatigue!"

Lu Jin'an chuckled noncommittally, then sat up straight: "Come over and help me get dressed."

Dongfang Xinglan opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

While helping him, she slowly began to speak: "Then I'll start killing."

"Kill away!"

The entire Dynasty was under the control of Qiming Immortal Dynasty's Emperor Jin'an.

With a thought, he could decide the life and death of others.
