Chapter 172: Spiritual Empowerment

The atmosphere was heavy.
Since the news of Da Zhou's attack on Lu'an Prefecture arrived, the court meeting has been in session all day and hasn't adjourned.
Every person's expression on their face is very grim.
>
“I was curious as to where the barbarian horde got the audacity to attack my Great Wilderness Prefecture. I never expected that they would collude with the Zhou Dynasty! Well, well!”
Gu Xuanji was so angry that he laughed.
The sound vibrated through the hall, like a volcano about to erupt, leaving everyone feeling heavy-hearted.
Immediately.
His gaze fell upon Dongfang Zhao.
"The fact that the barbarians colluded with the Zhou Dynasty, and the Demon Suppression Division had no prior information, is now a serious matter. With numerous cities in Lu'an Prefecture destroyed and over 100,000 soldiers killed, how will the Demon Suppression Division explain this"
A sudden attack.
This caused all the civil and military officials to be taken aback, and then their gazes toward Dongfang Zhao became filled with amusement.
As for them.
The Demon Suppression Division is like a sword hanging over our heads, who knows when it will fall.

The intelligence work of the Tianchawei is truly ubiquitous.
For so many years.
>
Many officials were brought down due to the intelligence provided by the Celestial Watch, and then their families were raided and exterminated by the Demon Suppression Office.
Although the Demon Suppression Division also has the responsibility of protecting the Qin Dynasty, over the years, demons and monsters have been rampant precisely because the Demon Suppression Division has been suppressing them, so there hasn't been any trouble.
But.
This doesn't stop them from wanting to see the Demon Suppression Office being suppressed.
After all, the current power of the Demon Suppression Division is indeed too strong. Many ministers dare not go against the Demon Suppression Division. If one side could be suppressed, it would also give others a breather.
Facing the question.
The Eastern Emperor had long anticipated this.
>
He stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and replied with a composed expression.
"Your Majesty, the Demon Suppression Division has been investigating the forces behind the barbarians. However, communication between the two sides was secretive, and the Demon Suppression Division failed to notice it until recently. But earlier on, the Demon Suppression Division had already sent people undercover into the Great Zhou."
If the Zhou Dynasty hadn't attacked beforehand, in a few days, the Celestial Watch would have news to send back.
Besides, the one-month deadline given by Your Majesty originally hasn't ended yet —
Speaking of which.
Then, Dong Fang did not speak any further.
It is now.
The Grand Tutor, Wen Qiu, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, over the years, the court has allocated a considerable amount of resources to the Demon Suppression Division. However, whether it was the barbarian invasion of the Dahuang Prefecture or the Zhou Dynasty's invasion of the Lu'an Prefecture, the Demon Suppression Division failed to detect anything, resulting in heavy losses for the army."
In my opinion, the Demon Suppression Division is to blame for this.
"Not bad."
Fu Yan also nodded, his expression calm.
The Demon Suppression Division enjoys resources from the imperial court, so it naturally should take on its due responsibilities. Defending the East is indeed the Demon Suppression Division's fault.
>
When the two spoke, they were considered to have led a start.
At once.
Many officials spoke up one after another, accusing the Demon Suppression Division.
Oriental Command's eyelids drooped, and he didn't mean to argue.
After a long time.
Gu Xuanji waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet, then turned to Dongfang Zhao.
"Does Dongfang Zhenshou have anything else to say"
>
"As for this matter, the Demon Suppression Division does indeed bear some responsibility. Your Majesty, please forgive us!"
"Although the Demon Suppression Division has made many contributions to the Great Qin over the years, there are laws in this country. This time, the Demon Suppression Division was negligent first and foremost. I cannot punish them without doing so. From today onwards, the resources of the Demon Suppression Division will be reduced by half for the next three years."
"Do you have any objections to this"
"I have no objection!"
The Eastern Emperor bowed to accept the decree.
With resources cut in half, such a punishment may seem severe, but for the Demon Suppression Division, it is a significant blow.
However.
To others' eyes, Gu Xuanji's punishment wasn't anything serious at all.
At most, it's just a reduction in resources. The Demon Suppression Division hasn't been harmed in the slightest.
Now, it seems the eastern decree has retreated back to its original place.
Gu Xuanji said: "Da Zhou attacks Lu'an Prefecture. Right now, Lu'an Prefecture is mainly defended by the Feifeng Army. Although the Feifeng Army is strong, facing Da Zhou alone is still somewhat insufficient."
Therefore, I believe that we should fully support the Luo'an Prefecture immediately and absolutely cannot allow the Zhou Dynasty to advance relentlessly.
Speaking of which.
He looked at the leader of the warriors and said in a deep voice.
"Yan Jing!"
“I am here!”
A tall and burly middle-aged man with one eye stepped forward, his voice a raspy sound like metal grinding against metal.
"I hereby command you to lead eighty thousand Canglong Army and one million two hundred thousand soldiers to support Luo'an Prefecture. Do not fail me!"
“Your servant obeys!”
Yan Jing bowed to accept the order.
800,000 Azure Dragon Army!
One million two hundred thousand troops!
This way, the court provided Luo'an Prefecture with two million troops in one go. When supporting Dahuang Prefecture before, only a few hundred thousand Fire Scale Army was deployed.
Thus it can be seen.
Gu Xuanji's regard for the Great Zhou was countless times higher than his view of the barbarians.
"Besides!"
Gu Xuanji looked towards Dongfang Zhao.
> This time, the Zhou Dynasty's attack on Lu'an Prefecture was well-planned. The Zhou Dynasty has many strong warriors. Even with two million troops, it might not be enough to withstand the Zhou Dynasty's offensive. Therefore, I hope that the Demon Suppression Division will also send some powerful warriors to accompany us.
How many powerful figures are still left in the Demon Suppression Division within the capital city
"Your Majesty, the current garrison of the Demon Suppression Division consists only of myself and Zhou Yuanzheng. Besides that, there are only about thirteen demon suppressors of Earth rank or higher who are not currently on a mission."
The Eastern Command's reply is truthful.
From the ground floor and above, thirteen demon slayers represent thirteen masters.
Gu Xuanji nodded slightly.
"How much strength can we deploy at the moment at the Pining Heart Pavilion"
The
Quiet Room——
>
Dongfang Zhao pondered for a moment: "The Qianshen Pavilion currently has limited manpower, with only a dozen or so masters still residing there. If the court requires it, they can also be dispatched to join the military campaign."
But the Xuanxie Pavilion and Fengmo Pavilion don't have many people they can deploy, and the Zhenma Prison and Fengmotang need constant maintenance.
"Hmm."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Xuanji nodded.
He also understood what the Eastern Imperial Decree had said.
"As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, forget it. Let them stay put there undisturbed."
She shook her head.
Gu Xuangji immediately issued an order.
“Imperial Order from the East, Attend!”
"Here I am!"
“The Demon Suppression Division is to immediately mobilize thirty Grandmasters to accompany the army. In addition, a Garrison Commander will be dispatched to ensure the safe arrival of the two million strong army in Lu'an Prefecture and assist the army in resisting the attacks from the Zhou Dynasty. There must be no mistakes!”
"Yes!"
The Eastern Emperor did not dare to disobey.
At this time, all the civil and military officials were shocked.
Thirty masters.
> Just a capital city's Demon Suppression Division, saying that it could be taken out just like that is an exaggeration. Moreover, this isn't even the full extent of the Demon Suppression Division's power.
According to the Eastern Command's statement.
The Capital City Demon Suppression Division still has many people carrying out missions outside.
>
And this.
And there were no branches of the Town Demon Division from other departments added.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
For a moment.
They were all shocked by the power of the Demon Suppression Division.
Then.
Gu Xuanji again said, "Now that the Great Zhou has allied with barbarians, we must also be wary of Dayue and Dali. If they join in, it will only worsen our situation."
Oh, the beams!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Great Vietnam!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That were two other powerful countries.
Although it may not be as impressive as the Qin and Zhou dynasties, it is still formidable.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
He spoke and fell silent.
Fu Yan said in a deep voice, "The Da Yue kingdom has weakened considerably in recent times. The damage caused by the demon infestation a hundred years ago has yet to recover. It is unlikely that they would be involved."
"To cooperate with Zhou is like trying to skin a tiger."
On the contrary—
“Although Daliang has been keeping a low profile lately, its national strength is considerable and it poses no small threat to Da Qin. However, Daliang has always been arrogant and may not be willing to cooperate with barbarians. I believe it is better to send envoys to Daliang.”
At that time, it will also be able to bring a powerful ally to our great Qin.
Here's the translation:

After all, if my Great Qin falls, the Liang Dynasty will surely be unable to sleep soundly.
> A tooth lost is a pain to the lip!
The reason why several countries can still stand firm today is that after hundreds of years of honing, they have gradually formed a subtle balance.
But if any one country were to be destroyed, this delicate balance would be broken.
Things had gotten to that point.
No one can say for certain that they will be the last one laughing.
Gu Xuanji pondered for a moment.
"That person in Daliang might not be willing to cooperate with our Qin State, but we could still give it a try. Your Excellency, who would you suggest as an emissary to Daliang"
Please note that without context, it's impossible to know what the content within "
" tags was. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
“Daliang places great importance on integrity. Any renowned scholar within the Imperial Academy could shoulder this responsibility.”
Fu Yan arched his hands in return.
Every scholar who becomes a great Confucian gentleman has his own chivalrous spirit and backbone.
After all, if one lacks backbone and integrity, one cannot cultivate the noble spirit.

Upon hearing this.
Gu Xuanji nodded slightly.
The great Confucian scholar of the Guozijian, could indeed be a good candidate for an envoy to Qin.
Immediately.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He turned his gaze to an old official among them.
"Master Yang, is there anything troubling you"
“I have no objections!” Yang Yu, who had been silent and acting like a transparent person, replied with a nod.
"Very well, then let the National Academy send a great scholar to Daliang to persuade him and bring another ally to our Great Qin."
That's all.
Gu Xuanji paused for a moment, then continued.
> "Also, send one more person to Dai Viet to check the situation."
Instead of persuading them, it's better to just send people over.
Although the i Vit Kingdom is weak now, if we could cooperate, it could also relieve a lot of pressure on Qin.
"Your servant obeys!"
We spent the night in silence.
After returning from the Wugong Pavilion, Shen Changqing stayed in his room, cultivating the Hundred Battles True Meaning.
After finishing his cultivation in the chamber, he remained at his peak.
To save every second.
After returning to his room, Shen Changqing also directly entered a state of cultivation.
When the fish maw in the east turns white.
A familiar sharp pain came, and he directly withdrew from his cultivation state.
Then.
Shen Changqing glanced at the time recorded on the sundial in the room, and roughly had an idea in his mind.
It is worth mentioning.
A water clock is a way this world records the passage of time.
When he first came, he didn't know how to use it much.
But now.
Shen Changqing was already very familiar with sundials.
"Today's cultivation lasted about two hours longer than usual. It seems that my gains in the Hundred Battles True Intent have allowed me to strengthen my mental power!"'re so bold!"Seeing the overwhelming power descending upon him, the Azure Sovereign God was both shocked and enraged. He never expected the other party to actually dare attack him.Let me know if you h...
