Chapter 150: Words of the World
"Because of this, the King believes that Zhou Shui will not give up. However, if Zhou Shui truly allies with Yang Chen, then the first to perish will be you, my King. You might not be able to leave as easily as Zhang Gao did. Then Zhou Shui and Yang Chen will march north. Even if they fail, at most they will retreat from Xuan Continent to other Three Continents. Their losses won't be significant, but if you fail, then..."
"Shut up! My matters are clear to me; what need is there for your meddling?" Huangshan scolded.
"Honest words are often hard to hear, my King. Yang Chen has three million Demon Beasts assisting him, which indicates that there must be a powerful demon behind him helping out. Therefore, Yang Chen..."
"Be quiet!" Huangshan roared. "I know Zhou Shui's character; he would never give up!"
"Sigh, my King, I can only say this much. I hope you will consider it carefully," Eagle Tianyi said helplessly, but in his heart, he was overjoyed. Huangshan is doomed!!
At night, Li Mu was entrusted by Ying Tian Wang and Zhou Shui to go to Heavenly Water City to discuss the alliance.
"Your Majesty, military strategist Li Mu requests an audience."
"Let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Soon after, Yang Chen met with Li Mu in the living room without avoiding anyone. He directly stepped forward and put his arm around Li Mu's shoulder, saying, "It won't be long before I bring you to my side."
Li Mu smiled slightly and then took a step back to kneel.
Yang Chen quickly helped him up and said, "No need for such formalities."
"No, Your Majesty, allow me to pay my respects to Your Majesty," Li Mu insisted.
Then Yang Chen released Li Mu and took a step back to stand straight. Seeing this, Li Mu immediately adjusted his attire and respectfully knelt on the ground, saying, "I am Li Mu, Second Legion Commander of Shadowkill Dynasty, paying my respects to Your Majesty. Long live the boss! Long live the boss! Long live the boss!"
"Your Majesty, in your lifetime."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Mu respectfully said, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, King Zhou Shui is attempting to ally with the dynasty. First, he will attack Huangshan, and then he will welcome Jia Shi."
Yang Chen turned around and sat back in his main seat, then said, "That can certainly be arranged, but what does Zhou Shui want?"
"To preserve the current kingdom."
"Good, go back and tell him that I agree to the alliance. Let him declare war on the Rebel King Huangshan at noon tomorrow," Yang Chen said.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, Zhou Shui may not agree and might even turn against us," Li Mu said.
"General Li Mu, take a message back: I can ensure your kingdom remains intact and grant you the title of Prince. But without effort, what reward can there be?"
"Your Majesty is forcing Zhou Shui to sign a military order!" Li Mu's eyes brightened as he spoke.
"That's right. If he refuses to send troops to attack Huangshan, I can choose the Tripartite Balance strategy. After supporting the Red Dragon to ascend, I can unite with the Jia Shi Empire and still eliminate his two princes. However, what I gain will be different," Yang Chen analyzed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand what to do now," Li Mu respectfully said. "I take my leave."
"Mm." Yang Chen nodded, signaling for Li Mu to withdraw.
"Jiangnan," Yang Chen called out to the people below.
"I am here."
"Tomorrow morning, mobilize a million troops directly towards Yunshui City. If Zhou Shui decides to declare war on Yunxiao City, you will accompany him into battle."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Li Qi."
"I am here."
"Tomorrow morning, deploy two million troops, directly targeting the Northern Territory."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Heavenly Gift, how are the Western Frontier and Southern Territory?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Since my Sect of Meteorology withdrew from the Western Frontier, there has been no major power there. Although the Jia Shi Dynasty has not stationed troops, the Western Frontier has already returned to the Jia Shi Dynasty," Heavenly Gift replied.
"After the Divine Heir exited the Western Frontier, your Sect of Meteorology also retreated. One could say the Western Frontier is now a deserted city. What about the Southern Territory?" Yang Chen asked.
"In the Southern Territory, the Qixing Sect and Tian You Sect have abandoned their past grievances and have united with hundreds of other sects to resist the Jia Shi Dynasty. In the short term, they will not fall. This is also why the Jia Shi Dynasty cannot afford to attack the City of Slaughter," Heavenly Gift explained.
"The Jia Shi Dynasty is too greedy, wanting to take both. Fan Yingtian, you want to pacify these sects, but I will not let you have your way," Yang Chen said with a cold smile. "Summon Tongtian Cult Master and Sky Tower King!"
"Summon Tongtian Cult Master and Sky Tower King!"
"Summon Tongtian Cult Master~~"
"Summon~~"
Moments later, Sky Tower King Yao Tongtian appeared before Yang Chen. Yao Tongtian respectfully said, "Your Majesty, you called for me?"
"Yes, there has been news of the defeat of the sects in the Southern Territory opposing the court. I want you to handle this," Yang Chen said.
"Oh? Your Majesty, how would you like me to proceed?" Yao Tongtian asked.
"Heavenly Teachings, it is time to reveal ourselves," Yang Chen replied.
"Understood, I know what to do," Yao Tongtian said respectfully.
"Occupy the entire Southern Territory for me. In the future, it will belong to us!" Yang Chen declared firmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will bring those sects under the banner of Heavenly Teachings and have them join us," Yao Tongtian responded.
"I trust you know how to proceed," Yang Chen said calmly.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will complete the task. I take my leave now." With that, Yao Tongtian respectfully withdrew.
"Your Majesty, isn't this approach forcing the Jia Shi Dynasty to turn against us?" Heavenly Gift asked in confusion.
"No, Senior Brother. Once Crimson Dragon ascends to power, the Southern Territory will naturally be ours. Before Crimson Dragon takes power, Fan Ying Tian won't be able to concern himself with us and likely won't pay us any mind," Tianya explained.
"I see. With eleven Saints of Combat plus the Saints of Combat from the Southern Territory, we should have around fifteen. No matter how much the Jia Shi Dynasty hates us, they won't dare to bite off this hard piece of bone. Even if they could manage it, they would break a couple of teeth in the process," Tianguang nodded in agreement.
"Junior Brother, do you think the Jia Shi Empire has that kind of strength?" Heavenly Gift inquired.
Tianya glanced at Yang Chen and said, "His Majesty already possesses over twenty Fighting Saint Experts and has not directly attacked Tianle City, so..."
"An Empire is always an Empire. Twenty Saints of Combat are already his limit. However, I cannot deplete my forces for the Crimson Dragon, especially when there are two clown-like Lords."
Yang Chen said, "If Zhang Gao had not been eliminated, the Three Lords could still pose a challenge to the Jia Shi Empire. Now, they are just clowns; even if they have a total of ten Saints of Combat, it would still be a spectacle and would not cause any harm to the Jia Shi Empire."
"Then why did Your Majesty oppose the Empire when you did not have a Fighting Saint Expert? Why did you kill two princes?" Tianya inquired.
"As an emperor, one must be well-versed in the Otherworld. Moreover, one’s trump card should only be revealed at the last moment," Yang Chen replied with a smile. He then said, "Li Qi, Jiangnan, you two go prepare. We will mobilize our troops tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will relocate the troops. What about Heavenly Water City?" Jiangnan asked.
"Jiangnan Legion Commander, do we still care about this city?" Heavenly Gift smiled and said.
"That’s true. My Lords, I take my leave." With that, Jiangnan and Li Qi both took their leave.
"Your Majesty, how long will it take to conquer the Northern Territory?" Tianya asked.
"Heavenly Gift, what do you think?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Two months," Heavenly Gift replied with a smile.
"Why take so long? A little over a month is enough," Yang Chen said with a mysterious smile.
