Tens of days later, the two appeared in front of the Heavenly Key Realm.

"Two fellow Taoists...ah, yes..."

The guard who came up was stunned and couldn't even close his mouth, "Zhou, Lord Zhou?"

Zhou Shu raised his hand, "It's me, please inform fellow Taoist."

The guard saluted respectfully, turned around and left, "Go away immediately, strangely, Zhoucheng is here, why didn't the king notify us guards..."

Hao Ruoyan frowned, "Look at you, you didn't tell Xie Guo before you came. Ruoyan thought you had notified you long ago, so she didn't care. Master Shu, you are the lord of Xianshu City now. You are grandly received everywhere you go. As a result, it was so hasty that no one else knew what to do."

Zhou Shu said lightly, "But they didn't inform me last time. At that time, Xianshu City had no formation realm."

Hao Ruoyan was stunned for a moment and whispered, "Shi Shu really holds a grudge..."

Zhou Shu laughed, "Haha, it's not about holding a grudge. If we really hold a grudge, we are already inside, and the guards won't know."

Not long after, Xie Xun strode, followed by two generals, and the heads of the three former families were among them.

Xie Xun frowned, "Zhou Shu, why are you here today? You don't say anything before you come?"

"I haven't been here for a long time. Come and see the Tianji Realm. It doesn't matter?"

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Why are you, Mr. Xie, coming so fast? Shouldn't you still be in the Xinghai Realm?"

Xie Xun said with an unhappy look, "Are you still talking? I am annoyed when I see that guy. Xiezhou will deal with the rest. I will have some leisure time."

Zhou Shu nodded and turned to everyone and said, "Don't be busy anymore. Allies don't need these etiquettes. I'll claim the guilt. I'll go to the lord's side first, and then I may also visit your house and talk to you later."

Xie Xun waved his hand, "You all have parted. I said that you don't need to do this. Lord Zhou is not an ordinary person."

Everyone said goodbye, and a hint of confusion flashed in Xie Xun's eyes, "Are you here to meet the king?"

"yes."

Zhou Shu was very calm, "The king of the country was a little strange recently. You said these words, right? You said vaguely and hesitate. Now I'm here, you can always say it clearly, otherwise you don't expect me to change anything."

"Oh, it's really strange," Xie Xun glanced around and sighed, "You have met the king before. You know that he is actually a man with great talent and strategy and knowledgeable tolerance. His face is like a thunder in the heart of the lake. Although I lost, I am also very happy that the kingdom of Xie Xi has such a king. I believe that the Xie Xi tribe can achieve glory under his leadership, but now he has changed and has become too radical."

Zhou Shu paused, "For example, launching a war on the Xinghai Realm? It has only taken this step in nearly 100,000 years since its founding, and it is not radical, right?"

“This is just the first step.”

Xie Xun paused, as if he had made some decision. "Frankly tell you, the king of the country has summoned our four generals to discuss many strategies over the years. After entering the Xinghai Realm, the next step is to start the implementation. The king of the country is to start with the Xinghai Realm and fight until Tianwu City."

Zhou Shu was stunned, "Tianwu City?"

Hao Ruoyan said thoughtfully, "In Tianwu City, there are almost 1,600 active realms and more than 70 forces in the Xinghai Realm."

Xie Xun said helplessly, "Yes, the king of the country plans to include all these thousand worlds into the territory of Xie Xu."

"This..." Zhou Shu looked at Xie Xun and said with a smile, "Did the king ask you to say these words? It's a bit unnecessary for him to test my ideas until now. Haha, I don't have the idea of ​​quickly expanding Xianshu City. You can tell him these things with certainty."

"I knew you would say that."

Xie Xun sighed, "When the king proposed it, everyone felt that he was testing our minds. This is what the prophet likes to do, but gradually we knew that the king was serious. If you don't believe it, you can also see the changes in the country of Xie over the years."

Zhou Shu looked at Hao Ruoyan, "What's the change?"

Hao Ruoyan pondered for a few moments and said slowly, "I don't know what the Xiezhi Kingdom was like in the past, but now they have determined the development direction of the goal of war. The Xiezhi Kingdom has recruited a large number of practitioners, some of which were recruited from Xianshu City. For this reason, they paid a lot of fairy jade. In addition, they also borrowed a lot of war resources such as talismans and magic weapons from Xianshu City. They said they would repay it with other resources. Ruoyan felt that the transaction was worth it."

Xie Xun added, "The recruitment was mostly done by the three imperial families. I heard that they received the promise of the king. After the war began, as long as they occupied it, those realms would belong to them. If they destroyed it, each family would still get at least two hundred realms."

Zhou Shu was stunned, "Is that true?"

Hao Ruoyan said in a gentle voice, "Ruoyan didn't pay much attention to these things, nor did she discuss it with Master Shu. It was Ruoyan's fault."

Zhou Shu waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, it's the matter of Xiezhi Country, it has nothing to do with you. Xianshu City is enough for you to be busy. Can you still manage Xiezhi Country? It's great that you can understand the changes. I'm just a little strange, why did Xiezhi Country do this?"

Xie Xun spread his hands, "I have opposed it, but the king of the country did not listen. But the three imperial families, each of whom were crazy, took out all the things in the box. They were busy all day long. Even Lu Lu got the concession and returned to the country of Xie. After receiving the king of the country, they would fight for their lives for their family."

"It's the same if it's changed to others."

Zhou Shu was not surprised, and paused, "Ruoyan, what do you think?"

Hao Ruoyan thought for a while and said, "What Shu Master said is that there are supporters behind him and he can also obtain a large number of worlds as the foundation of the family. This is equivalent to the emperor's enfeoffment of princes. Whoever grabs it will be his own. Anyone who changes it will have to fight to the death. However, Ruoyan cannot think of the purpose of the king's doing this. For the sparsely populated Xie Xi tribe, it will be of no benefit to them to occupy so many worlds quickly. Even if there are many shadows of reality, they cannot control it. If the Xie Xi tribe wants to grow, the first thing they need to do is to increase the population rather than expand the territory."

Zhou Shu nodded, "That's right, unless the lord really wants to reward the three imperial families and give them the opportunity to expand their families, it's just that doing so will not be of great benefit to the Xie Kingdom. The stronger the three imperial families are, the harder the Xie Kingdom will control it. Does the lord really believe that they will never betray them?"

Hao Ruoyan shook her head, "It's hard to speculate. The three families are very loyal, but they have never had such a large territory. No one can be sure whether the three families remain loyal after they have obtained such a world. Moreover, there are only so many people in the Xie tribe, so it is difficult to manage well."

"Why is the king?"

Zhou Shu said slowly, "There are only so many Xiezhi tribes in the country of Xie. They don't need thousands of resources. With the Xinghai Realm, it is actually perfect. If you want to go out, you can only slowly draw it and wait until the population goes up. It is difficult to occupy a large number of worlds like this. At that time, it will be someone else's, which is equivalent to wasting resources."
