"Everyone, although Western Chu has withdrawn, we cannot let our guard down just yet," Jiang Han reassured everyone, his expression turning serious.
Whether he was being overly cautious or not, holding onto the mindset of "there are always schemers wanting to harm me," it was better to be careful. In his view, the withdrawal of Western Chu surely left some lingering resentment, and they might lay a trap that could cause Manichaeism significant trouble at a critical moment.
"Master, should we..." Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment before making a throat-cutting gesture to suggest his thoughts.
In his opinion, Biancheng was currently a small temple with great chaos; the shallow pool was filled with turtles. The various factions, martial arts schools, and martial families were entangled in interests like a tangled mess. If they wanted to resolve the issue quickly and decisively, the best way would be to wash Biancheng in blood, leaving only their own people and sparing no one else!
Jiang Han shot him a glance and rolled his eyes. "Can we tone down the killing instinct? We eliminate entire families only when we need to establish authority. What’s the point of slaughtering for no reason?"
The Western Chu Royal Family had managed Xiliang Prefecture for countless years; it was only natural that they had a stronger foundation of public support than Manichaeism. It was not surprising to find die-hard supporters of Western Chu here.
"We need to skillfully unite the major factions, martial arts schools, and martial families, treating them with both suspicion and utility. It would be best to incite competition among them while maintaining a situation where they fight without breaking apart."
"For those who are inclined towards Manichaeism, we should provide care and support. For those who oppose us, let our loyal followers carry out humanitarian extermination against these heinous individuals!"
"This is what we call 'a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other'!" Jiang Han said with a glint in his eyes.
For Manichaeism to achieve long-term stability in governing Xiliang Prefecture, it certainly could not rely solely on slaughtering these local tyrants!
Instead, they could adopt a different approach: support those loyal to them, allowing them to act as their front while decisively eliminating the hardliners who leaned towards Western Chu. Then Manichaeism could step in to clean up the mess and uphold 'justice,' which would be quite splendid!
"Master is truly talented!" Yang Xiao sincerely flattered him.
Jiang Han laughed and scolded, "Get back to work!"
Yang Xiao, while lacking in courage, strategy, and a broader perspective, was somewhat indecisive in character. However, his meticulousness was particularly rare; he consistently completed the tasks assigned by Jiang Han beautifully. Could this careful and detailed trait be a characteristic of a 'dad'?
It is known that Yang Buhui's mother, Ji Xiaofu, passed away early, yet Yang Xiao raised his daughter through thick and thin.
Once the living room was empty, Jiang Han flipped his hand and took out the Underworld Black Death Flag that he had seized from the Western Chu Mountain King, Chu Yingxiong.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a special check-in and receiving one Yin Yang Life and Death Flag (damaged). The following rewards are available; please make your choice within one hour!"
"Option One: Upgrade the Cultivation Method once (can upgrade the quasi-Supreme-level Cultivation Method to Supreme-Level Technique)."
"Option Two: One Dragon Essence (the size of a fist, with endless uses, can significantly increase the chance of a Martial Arts Grandmaster advancing to Grandmaster of Martial Arts)."
"Option Three: One drop of Qilin Blood (can enhance body refinement cultivation, with a one in a million chance of gaining the rare attribute ability 'Earth Affinity', allowing one to draw energy from the earth and greatly increase defense)."
Jiang Han felt somewhat dazed. Was today his lucky day?
"System, what does the Yin Yang Life and Death Flag mean?" Although Jiang Han was eager for those rewards, he still asked a crucial question. The flag in his hand was clearly the Underworld Black Death Flag; it didn't seem to match what the system described!
"Please refer to the relevant details!" A line of black and white text appeared in Jiang Han's mind.
As Jiang Han marveled at how intelligent the system had become after an upgrade, he directly opened the details page:
"The Yin Yang Life and Death Flag consists of one flag representing extinction and another representing creation, corresponding to the Underworld Black Death Flag and the Creation Demon Flag!"
"With a single side, it is a Quasi-Supreme Artifact; when combined into one, it becomes a Supreme Artifact!"
Jiang Han merely skimmed through it and did not take it to heart. He thought it would be better to see if he could get his hands on the other flag in the future; overthinking now would only add to his troubles.
Looking at the flashing options before him, Jiang Han felt somewhat indecisive. He didn't expect the system to have such good things! He had previously thought it would just play dead!
After a moment of thought, he directly eliminated option three. While enhancing his physical cultivation was indeed appealing, its effectiveness was still debatable since there was only a single drop. And that frustratingly low chance of obtaining Earth Affinity at one in a million was not worth the risk.
Although he considered himself quite lucky, Jiang Han was still unwilling to take that gamble.
As for the Dragon Essence, he was very tempted! Moreover, it was a fist-sized lump, unlike the Qilin Blood which was just a drop—too little to be worth it.
Most importantly, the Dragon Essence was exactly what Jiang Han needed right now; it could help him break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm!
Even though he was also coveting the advancement of the Cultivation Method from option one, he had his own considerations. He thought that if the system rewarded him with Skill Synthesis again, then his current Quasi-Supreme Technique, the Imperial Seal Technique, would likely advance directly.
