63: A new landscape is emerging in Northwest China!

After the Three Great Empires were carved up, various forces also sent people to take over in an orderly fashion.

Without the three Dou Zong, the so-called Three Great Empires had long existed in name only.

Even if Jiang Luo and his group didn't conquer them, they would be swallowed by other forces; rather than benefiting others, it was better to hold them firmly in their own hands.

Only then would the Jia Ma Empire's position in the Northwest Continent become more stable.

Three days later, the Jiang Clan's main hall once again gathered the core forces of the Jia Ma Empire.

Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian respectively reported on the progress of taking over the Heavenly Swan and Admiring Orchid nations, while Queen Medusa sent an envoy to inform them that the Snake-People Clan had begun migrating to the Izumo Empire, and the inventory of poison resources was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

"Are there any unusual movements from the former factions of the various nations?" Jiang Luo asked, lightly tapping the table with his fingertips from the main seat.

Hai Bodong bowed and replied, "Reporting to my lord, the former nobles of the Heavenly Swan Empire have largely submitted. Those unwilling to surrender have been eliminated as per your command."

"On the Admiring Orchid side, Jia Xingtian also used thunderous methods to suppress several rebellions, and the situation is now stable."

Jia Xingtian quickly added, "All lists of tribute resources have been compiled and are awaiting your review, my lord."

As he handed over the scroll, his waist was bent even lower. Since returning to the Imperial Capital, he no longer dared to play any tricks, personally handling everything and not daring to show the slightest neglect.

Jiang Luo glanced at the scroll, then placed it aside, "Resource allocation will follow what was previously agreed upon. The Jiang Clan will reserve thirty percent for Cultivation resources and clan construction, and the rest will be distributed among the various leaders according to their contributions."

He paused, his gaze falling outside the hall, "Additionally, convey my order to erect a monument in Blackrock City, inscribing the names of the soldiers who died in this war, and double the compensation distributed to their families."

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

They knew in their hearts that Jiang Luo's action was both to appease the people and to display his ruling philosophy.

Only by combining both benevolence and might can one rule for a long time.

After the meeting, Jiang Luo ascended alone to the highest point of the Jiang Clan's mansion, gazing at the continuous cities in the distance.

The Jia Ma Empire was now completely under his control, and the landscape of the Northwest Continent had been reshuffled by this war.

But he knew this was just the beginning.

The Fighting Qi Continent is vast and boundless; Jia Ma is merely a remote corner, and the strength of a Dou Zong is far from enough in the true center of the continent.

"What are you thinking about?" Queen Medusa's voice came from behind him. She wore a purple-gold long dress, her silver hair gently swaying in the wind, with less of her usual cold allure and more softness.

Jiang Luo turned, reaching out to pull her into his embrace, "I'm thinking about when to depart for the center of the continent. The situation in the Jia Ma Empire is stable, but staying here is not a long-term solution after all."

Queen Medusa leaned against his shoulder, a hint of complexity flashing in her purplish vertical pupils, "The Snake-People Clan has just settled; I cannot leave for now. If you go, you must be extra careful."

Although she was unwilling to admit it, in her time with Jiang Luo, her initial guard was long gone, replaced by a sense of concern.

Jiang Luo gently stroked her long hair, "Remember to wait for me. Once the Snake-People Clan is completely rooted, I'll take you to see the so-called Central Plains, to see the world of Dou Zun and Dou Sheng."

The sun set in the west, and the golden afterglow spilled over the two of them, casting long shadows.

The bells of the Jiang Clan's mansion slowly rang out, spreading to every corner of the Imperial Capital, as if announcing the dawn of a new era.

Meanwhile, in Blackrock City, artisans had already begun constructing the monument.

When people passed by, they would always stop to watch, muttering Jiang Luo's name.

The strong individual who, by himself, repelled the Three Great Empires and protected the Jia Ma Empire.

In the streets and alleys, the fear of war was no longer heard, replaced by anticipation for the future.

Days passed, and the Jiang Clan's influence continued to grow, with more and more Loose Cultivators and minor forces coming to pledge allegiance.

Jiang Luo also took advantage of this free time to diligently Cultivate, raising his Realm to the Dou Zun Realm, preparing for his upcoming journey to the Central Plains.

During this period, his two Disciples, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, also made significant progress.

Their Realms reached Peak Dou Huang and Dou Wang respectively.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Jiang Luo decided to only bring Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin with him.
