Chapter 499: Restoration of the Central Plains
The nine-tailed fox was called a fox spirit by Xin Zhen. Although she was indeed a fox spirit, she knew that this name was insulting. She immediately said angrily, "I came here to persuade you to go back to the south and stop getting involved in the north. This is not a place you can interfere in."

Xin Zhen said with a smile: "I am the number one scholar of the Hua Dynasty. It is my duty to be loyal to the emperor and love my country. But you, a monster, are trying to interfere in the affairs of the human race. What are you thinking?
Nine-tailed fox, I respectfully warn you to return to Qingqiu immediately and give up supporting the Li family. This is the way for you to survive, and also the strategy for your survival as the Qingqiu fox.

If you continue to interfere in the affairs of the human race, be careful that you will bring disaster to the entire race."

The nine-tailed fox narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you threatening me?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, I am threatening you, weren't you threatening me just now?

You came to Huajing and showed me your power as soon as you arrived, hurting so many of my colleagues. I don't know where you, a demon, get the confidence from?

Nine-tailed Fox, remember this: although the human race is in turmoil, the status of the human race is not something that the demon race can covet. Hurry back to Qingqiu."

The nine-tailed fox sneered, "The old master didn't dare to talk to me like this. How dare you, a newly promoted top master, talk to me like this? Are you tired of living?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "You guys are really tough before you get beaten, but you will be obedient after a beating. Let's go, stay away from Huajing, and don't break the bottles and jars here. If you break them, I will go to Qingqiu to strengthen your fox tribe."

After saying this, Xin Zhen turned into a ray of light and went to the suburbs.

The nine-tailed fox snorted, but did not dare to take action in Huajing. Then the huge fox in the air suddenly disappeared and followed Xin Zhen.

The rest of the Nascent Soul masters also transformed into various colors of rainbow light and followed. They also wanted to see the battle between the two greatest masters of the time, which might help them break through the Jade Pu realm.

Huajing is surrounded by mountains on all sides. There is a large basin in the mountains. It is an ideal location for a capital. With the protection of the vast mountains, it is impossible for an ordinary army to attack it.

The clear light fell on a hilltop, and Xin Zhen showed up. Then a huge fox jumped among the mountains, jumping over several hilltops at a time. When it landed on a hilltop, the mountain began to rumble. Some mountains even had rocks rolling down, which looked very scary.

Then, dozens of rainbow lights fell on the distant hilltops, paying attention to this side.

A huge fox stood on the top of the mountain, with nine fox tails behind it covering the sky and the moon. The fox spirit squinted its eyes and stared at Xin Zhen, saying, "Arrogant boy, prepare to die."

A huge fox tail suddenly swung towards the mountain where Xin Zhen was. Xin Zhen turned into a clear light and appeared on another mountain top the next moment.

The fox's tail smashed hard on the mountain, and the mountain broke in the middle. Rocks and rocks fell into the valley, making a loud rumbling sound.

The Yuanying masters who were watching from afar all changed their expressions. This nine-tailed fox was indeed very powerful. With just a wave of its hand, a mountain was broken in half. It was truly terrifying.

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "Your fox tail can be used in this way. I thought it was just for decoration. Your tail is pretty good. I do have a whip technique, but I just lack a whip that suits me. Why don't I lend you one of your tails to make a whip?"

The nine-tailed fox was furious when he heard this and shouted, "How dare you, little thief, insult me!"

Suddenly, two more fox tails rose from the ground and drilled towards Xin Zhen from the air. This time, Xin Zhen did not turn into clear light to avoid it. Suddenly, seven sword balls of different colors appeared from his body one after another. When they appeared, they formed a formation according to the direction of the Big Dipper.

Foxtail fell from the sky.

The Yaoguang in the Big Dipper suddenly became brighter, and two rays of light split into two beams that headed towards the two fox tails.

A bright light suddenly appeared, and the vast mountains within a hundred miles all felt a sharp sense. Those Nascent Soul masters who were watching from afar felt as if their souls were being cut in half.

The nine-tailed fox, which was the first to be hit, only felt a pain in its two tails, and then completely lost the sense of its tails.

Xin Zhen laughed loudly: "Thank you, Senior Nine-Tailed Fox, for giving me the magic weapon. With two fox tails, I can refine a long whip. Not bad!"

Xin Zhen put the two fox tails into his sleeves.

The nine-tailed fox was furious, but then became very frightened. She was much older than the other three supreme masters. The other three supreme masters were all human, the oldest was only a few hundred years old, and the youngest was only one or two hundred years old. But she was a demon and had lived for a thousand years.

Over the past thousand years, apart from the celestial beings in heaven, she has never met anyone on earth who could cut off her two fox tails with one move!

The nine-tailed fox said in fear, "Are you the reincarnation of a celestial being? Why are you so young but your cultivation is so high? Impossible, absolutely impossible. The so-called reincarnation is just a fiction by some novelists. There is no such thing as reincarnation. But why are you so strong? Could it be that you are some old monster in disguise?"

The powerful people watching nearby were also shocked. They originally thought that this was a battle of equal strength, but they didn't expect that the Nine-tailed Fox only had one chance to attack. Moreover, the Nine-tailed Fox had already admitted that she was Yu Pujing. Yu Pujing couldn't even withstand a single move from Xin Zhen, and her two fox tails were cut off. So, how strong is Xin Zhen?
Gongyang Fu, the national teacher lurking nearby, was both happy and worried. He was happy that with Xin Zhen, Hua Dynasty could attack anyone it wanted in the future. But he was worried that if Xin Zhen had ambitions, who in Hua Dynasty could restrain him?
His mentality is somewhat similar to that of young people in later generations. He is afraid that Xin Zhen is not strong enough, and he is also afraid that Xin Zhen is too strong!
At this time Xin Zhen was also a little surprised. He was surprised at the power of the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation. In fact, his progress in the past few years was not as great as he had imagined. In fact, he had only just stepped into the last realm of the tenth realm, the Divine Way, and had not entered the eleventh realm, the Martial God Realm.

However, using the Tiangang Beidou Formation with the third level of the tenth realm's divine way, he was able to seriously injure the Nine-tailed Fox easily. The one who was stronger should not be the warrior of the tenth realm, but the Tiangang Beidou Formation.

During the past three years, Xin Zhen practiced the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation diligently and absorbed the experience of the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation summarized by the disciples of the Huashan Sect. After a lot of practice, he finally mastered it basically this year, and was much more proficient in it than when he killed Abbot Ci'an before.

Now it seems that if I meet Abbot Ci'an now, I will probably only need one move to defeat him.

Xin Zhen suddenly looked towards a place in the sky where dark clouds were densely gathered, then pointed his sword, and the Tianquan Star lit up, and a beam of light rushed straight to that place.

The light sank into the dark clouds, and an earth-shaking roar was heard from the dark clouds. The dark clouds suddenly rolled up, and then a thick section of the dragon's tail fell off, crushing several mountain ranges.

"Who is that?" someone exclaimed.

Someone excitedly said: "A piece of dragon tail is bigger than a mountain range, who else could it be? It must be the Dragon King of the Four Seas!"

All I heard was a roar coming from the dark clouds, and then there was no sound.

Xin Zhen smiled, looked at the nine-tailed fox, and said, "Your old comrade ran away, why don't you run away?"

The nine-tailed fox gritted its teeth, turned into a rainbow of light and escaped.

A great battle ended hastily. Xin Zhen shook his head, turned into a beam of light and returned to the restaurant where he had eaten before. He found that his colleagues had already left. He smacked his lips and said with some regret: "Well, no more dog meat."

That night, many people in Huajing could not sleep.

On the second day, the court issued an appointment, appointing Hanlin scholar Xin Zhen as assistant prime minister, and entering the government hall to be in charge of the expedition against Li.

On that day, someone saw Master Hongfa of Yuntaishan leaving Yuntaishan to travel around the world. The abbot of Yuntaishan came in person to offer the Buddha bones enshrined in Yuntaishan, and was willing to hold a water and land ceremony to pray for the souls of the heroes who died in the disaster of Huajing ten years ago.

The imperial court granted permission and agreed to allow high monks from Yuntai Mountain to accompany the army and pray for the souls of the heroes who died during the expedition at any time.

For a time, Hua Dynasty gained great momentum.

Xin Zhen came to the front line in person, and the fighting spirit of the three armies surged. For a moment, Li's army was simply unable to resist. Eighteen Yuanying masters of Li's army blocked the army's advance, and dozens of Yuanyings from Dao Lu Si fought bravely and killed eighteen Yuanyings. Li's army was defeated.

After that, he pursued the enemy to the north. Within a month, he defeated the Li family and conquered Hebei.

Xin Zhen led the army to recapture Hebei, and his contribution was comparable to expanding the territory. The court appointed him as the Privy Councilor from afar.

Afterwards, Xin Zhen led the army westward to attack the Pei family in Shanxi.

The Pei family was weak, even weaker than the Li family. However, the complex terrain of Shanxi did take Xin Zhen some time, but it only took him three months to conquer it.

The Hua Dynasty suddenly brought most of the north under its rule, greatly increasing its territory and prestige.

The Hua Dynasty suddenly showed signs of revival, and outstanding people from all sides came to join it.

However, while Xin Zhen was fighting outside, the atmosphere in the court gradually changed.

The Imperial City Fengtian Hall.

Fengtian Hall is where the National Master communicates with heaven and earth, and it is also where the National Master Gongyang Fu works.

The incense burners in the hall were filled with smoke. The national teacher Gong Yangfu was wearing a Taoist robe, looking quite like an immortal. However, his expression was solemn at this moment, which seemed to destroy his temperament.

Xiang Yaoshan bowed and said to Gongyang Fu: "Grandmaster, you may have to suppress Xin Zhen's momentum a little. If he continues like this, his prestige in the court will probably surpass yours. You don't know that recently there are ministers who run to the emperor every day to show their courtesy. Their intentions are worthy of death."

Gong Yangfu said slowly: "How to press it?"

Xiang Yaoshan said, "Recall Xin Zhen. The army is now stationed on the border of Shaanxi. If he is allowed to conquer Shaanxi, his power will completely overwhelm you, the Imperial Master. When he returns to the court, will anyone still know about the Imperial Master?"

Gong Yangfu asked, "What about the conquest of Shaanxi?"

Xiang Yaoshan said: "The Yu clan in Shaanxi does not have any experts at the Jade Pu realm, so they do not need Xin Zhen at all. They just need to let the generals choose to attack. The imperial army is now strong and powerful, so can't they take down Shaanxi?

Imperial Master, you have to make a decision early. Otherwise, when that day really comes, with Xin Zhen's supreme cultivation and the wolves who are hard to tame on the civil service side, we will be in a passive position.

Imperial Master, you are not obsessed with power, but you should also consider the young men of the Daolu Division. If Xin Zhen is in power, he will definitely rely on civil officials to govern the country. What will the young men of the Daolu Division do then?"

Gong Yangfu thought for a while and said, "Now is the time to conquer Shaanxi with one push. Wouldn't it be too obvious to recall Xin Zhen at this time?"

Xiang Yaoshan said ruthlessly: "Even if it is obvious, we can't let him make any more achievements. Conquering the three kingdoms is an unprecedented achievement. Although the national teacher saved Huajing and recovered most of Henan, this is also an unprecedented achievement, but Xin Zhen has already recovered Hebei and Shanxi. If he recovers Shanxi now, then even the national teacher will have to retreat from such a great achievement!"

Gong Yangfu sighed and said, "You also know that I have been loyal to the emperor and patriotic all my life. Everything I have done is to preserve this country. Now there is a capable person in the court who can help us recover the country. How can I stop him?"

Xiang Yaoshan was already in tears at this time, and said: "My Lord, you have always been so bright and clear, but there is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two rulers in a country. If there is someone with a reputation similar to yours, it will not be a blessing for the country.

Everyone has faith in your administration and believes that they can recover our country under your command without any selfish desires. But Xin Zhen may not be able to be like you. Even though he seems to be indifferent to power, who knows if he is just pretending?
If he really doesn't want power, why would he, the number one man in the world, enter the court and personally lead the army to conquer the world? This is the most terrifying thing. Once such a person comes to power, it will be devastating to the country. Imperial Master, you have to make a decision early!"

Under Xiang Yaoshan's persuasion, the Imperial Master seemed to be a little shaken. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Your consideration makes sense. Well, then recall Prime Minister Xin.

However, this is not to stop him from making achievements, but the court also needs him. The court army has been conquering the three places for a year, and the entire court is operating at full capacity. Several ministers are old and can't bear such hard work. If Minister Xin comes back to take charge of the overall situation, the overall situation can be stabilized. "

Xiang Yaoshan was delighted and said: "The Imperial Master is indeed thoughtful. That's right, compared to Shaanxi, the court needs Mr. Xin to come back and take charge of the overall situation more!

But, Imperial Master, this time, Prime Minister Xin has returned with great merit, so I'm afraid we need to make a plan for this reward first."

The Imperial Master nodded and said, "According to convention, how would such a merit be rewarded?"

Xiang Yaoshan thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid he will be granted the title of Duke, and appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat, and will be in charge of the government affairs hall."

Gongyang Fu frowned slightly and said, "It's fine to make him a duke, but Wen Xianggong is in charge of the government affairs hall. During the years of fighting, although Wen Xianggong was not at the front line, the war would not have been so smooth without him. He also has merits. If he is replaced like this, I'm afraid people all over the world will complain for Wen Xianggong."

Xiang Yaoshan was delighted and said, "The Imperial Master is indeed very perceptive. This is exactly the truth."

Gong Yangfu frowned again and said, "But if we don't make Xin Xianggong the prime minister, it doesn't seem to be a good idea, right?"

Xiang Yaoshan said with a smile: "Wait a little while, Minister Wen is not young anymore, let him work for another year or so, hinting that he is getting old, and then invite Minister Xin to take charge of the government affairs hall, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
