"Reporting to the Master, the Western Chu Royal Family has sent someone to deliver gifts!"
A disciple of Manichaeism hurriedly entered the main hall and clasped his fists, saying, "Envoy Yang does not dare to act on his own accord and is waiting for your instructions."
"Oh, this is quite interesting!"
Jiang Han turned around and said, "We are sharpening our blades, preparing to take down Xiliang Prefecture. The Western Chu Royal Family, instead of strategizing and deploying their troops, sends someone to deliver gifts. This is truly rare. So, who is the visitor?"
Before the battle even began, he couldn't help but underestimate the Western Chu Royal Family even more.
Although the Western Chu has been declining in recent years, it was still somewhat unexpected for them to have fallen to such a state. After all, in terms of territory and heritage, the Western Chu still belonged to the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms, ranking behind only the Great Zhou, Great Qi, and Northern Yan, and was still stronger than the rising Wei Kingdom.
Yet their backbone has become so soft; it is indeed hard to take them seriously!
"Reporting to the Master, it is said that the visitor is King Anle of Western Chu, Chu Huai Zhen. He has brought valuable treasures as a sign of sincerity!" The disciple quickly replied with his head bowed.
"Valuable treasures? Heh."
Jiang Han waved his hand. "Bring him in so I can take a look."
Anle or not, whether you are truly Anle or a false one, Xiliang Prefecture will be ours in Manichaeism!
After a while, a plump middle-aged man adorned with jewels was brought into the council hall.
Seeing Chu Huai Zhen bowing to pay his respects, Jiang Han remained seated in his chair without saying a word or even moving, wearing an expression of amusement.
Indeed a false Anle but a true ambitious ruler!
A prince in Zongwu World—how could he possibly lack even a trace of inner strength!
This is clearly a Martial Arts Grandmaster, who has locked away his own cultivation, always ready to play the fool and eat the tiger.
Of course, it is not that this King Anle is hiding his cultivation to deal with Manichaeism, as the Manichaeism before Jiang Han took over was not worth such a deep concealment by someone of his caliber!
In other words, this praised Prince of the Western Chu, who is known for his carefree demeanor, is likely a hidden dragon, always prepared to ascend to the highest position when the time is right and transform into a true dragon!
Chu Huai Zhen saw that Jiang Han did not take him seriously and felt a flash of anger, which quickly faded. He took out a brocade box from his sleeve and said solemnly: "Manichaeism has long-standing ties with our Western Chu. Recently, some petty people have spread rumors, claiming that Manichaeism intends to attack Western Chu. This is nothing but malicious slander..."
With no time to listen to his nonsense, Jiang Han waved his hand and retorted, "It's not a rumor; that's a fact! Xiliang Prefecture is already decided!"
Chu Huai Zhen's expression froze for a moment; he straightened his back slightly, and the respectful look on his face gradually disappeared.
To be honest, he did not want a war between Western Chu and Manichaeism to break out, but it seemed difficult to avoid now. The strength of the Western Chu Royal Family was actually much greater than that of Manichaeism, but due to local fragmentation and various armies being more obedient to their own leaders than to unified command, it was undoubtedly challenging to coordinate them.
Moreover, once Western Chu invested a large amount of military force in Xiliang Prefecture, it would be hard to ensure that old rivals like Great Zhou, Great Qi, and Northern Yan would not take advantage of the situation and seize a piece of Western Chu!
"Does Sect Leader Jiang truly intend to do this?"
Chu Huai Zhen's expression turned cold as his locked cultivation suddenly erupted, causing everyone in the hall to feel alarmed.
The Azure Wing Bat King Wei Yixiao and the White-Browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng quickly moved to block Jiang Han's path.
Jiang Han scoffed and said, "I advise you to think carefully before deciding whether or not to make a move! Otherwise, you came all this way just to deliver treasures but might end up needing someone to send your head back!"
Chu Huai Zhen's cultivation was impressive, but he lacked combat experience. In a direct confrontation, even Wei Yixiao could probably fight him to a standstill; attempting to intimidate Jiang Han with such strength was rather naive.
Seeing Jiang Han's calm expression, Chu Huai Zhen's lips curled into a slight smile: "Has Sect Leader Jiang forgotten about Baiyue Sect?"
Jiang Han's expression froze for a moment, then he sneered, "Why should I be afraid? I anticipated this long ago. If you think you can use the Moon Worship Sect to pressure me, you're mistaken!"
Although the Moon Worship Sect is the state religion of Western Chu, it is not something that the Western Chu Royal Family can command. If they anger the Moon Worship Sect, it’s possible that the sect could simply replace the royal family of Western Chu.
The Moon Worship Sect is considered the banner of the entire Demonic Path today. It has been in opposition to the Dao Sect and the Dragon Tiger Mountain Tianshi Mansion for hundreds of years and remains unyielding. There are even rumors in the martial world that the leader of the Moon Worship Sect, Ye Shaonan, has created the Heavenly Repair Sutra and has already mastered it to an incredible degree!
Thirty years ago, he directly attacked Bodhi Zen Temple, defeating countless experts. Now, he ranks among the Heavenly Ranking and is regarded as an elusive top-tier expert in the martial world.
For a master of this caliber, changing the fate of the Western Chu Royal Family is merely a matter of thought. However, after Ye Shaonan defeated the older generation at Bodhi Zen Temple, he challenged the Dragon Tiger Mountain Tianshi Mansion and fought against the Celestial Master; their outcome remains unknown as both announced their seclusion.
Currently, the affairs of the Moon Worship Sect are overseen by its High Priest, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who wields the Heavenly Flame Treasure Mirror that strikes fear across the martial world.
If Western Chu has the capability to summon the Moon Worship Sect, then Xiliang Prefecture will naturally remain part of Western Chu; otherwise, it will fall into the hands of Manichaeism!
