After hearing Sect Master Yuan's words, the elderly man who had spoken earlier on the second floor said indifferently, "What's the point of seeing those small sects? What role can they play?"
"Is Sect Master Yuan perhaps taking them too seriously?"
Hearing the old man's words, Yuan Tian stroked his beard, smiling as he said, "Ah, that's not how you should see it. As sects that have also been persecuted, they want to contribute too. Naturally, we should accept them."
Besides, the strength of these small sects is not weak either. If we gather them together, they can form a substantial force."
At that mont, another elderly man on the second floor spoke up, "Sect Master Yuan, you better co up here and discuss your plan. Sect Master Zou and I are very eager to know what your plan is exactly."
Hearing this, Yuan Tian imdiately kicked his legs and leaped to the second floor.
At this mont, at a table on the second floor, two elderly n were sitting, one dressed in white and the other in a golden robe.
The one in white clothes was nad Si Yuhua, the sect master of Yunlang Sect, a Celestial.
The one in golden clothes was the sect master of Jinyu Sect, nad Zou Yangping, also a Celestial.
Yunlang Sect and Jinyu Sect were not very famous in the world; many people had never heard of these two sects, and they had always kept a low profile.
If it weren't for the Sum Emperor's decree to eradicate the sect powers, these two hidden sect forces would not have co out of seclusion.
After Yuan Tian approached the two elderly n, he sat down unhesitatingly in a seat between them, forming a tripartite situation.
Yuan Tian then said, "The old man has decided to make Prince Wu Ming from Great Wu the Emperor. I wonder if the two of you have any other candidates to recomnd?"
Hearing this question, the sect master of Yunlang Sect, Si Yuhua, said indifferently, "Whoever becos the Emperor doesn't matter to us. We don't care who it is; what we care about is whether the new Emperor listens to us."
"The old man does not want to see another arrogant and presumptuous Emperor erge."
As Si Yuhua finished speaking, the sect master of Jinyu Sect, Zou Yangping, also said, "My attitude is the sa as Sect Master Si's. As long as the new Emperor is obedient and does not cause trouble, whoever it is doesn't matter."
Yuan Tian said, "Since neither of you has any objections, then after we get rid of the tyrant, we will support Wu Ming's ascension to the throne."
At this mont, Si Yuhua said, "Sect Master Yuan, let's set aside the matter of the new Emperor for now. Please tell us about your plan."
Yuan Tian said indifferently, "My plan is simple. The tyrant can only mobilize four Celestials. According to reliable information, he will attack Great Qian and must take at least two Celestials with him, while another Celestial will remain in Dayue Capital City."
"At that ti, Yan County will have only one Celestial. We three just need to join forces to deal with that Celestial. Once we eliminate that Celestial, we can control the entire Yan County and the tyrant's wives and children."
"Then we can declare to the world that the tyrant has defied the Heavenly Dao, is cruel and brutal, and intolerant by the heavens. We will call all oppressed forces to co together and overthrow the entire Great Sum."
"I believe that at that ti, many forces will stand with us to topple the tyrant's rule."
Hearing Yuan Tian's words, Si Yuhua said, "I have heard that the most formidable in Great Sum is not those Celestials, but the tyrant himself. Even if we deal with one Celestial ahead of ti, we might not be a match for the tyrant."
Yuan Tian said indifferently, "Sect Master Si worries too much. According to the intelligence I've gathered, the tyrant's strength cos not from himself but from a powerful spiritual artifact and a Celestial who continuously supplies him with spiritual power, enabling him to use that artifact."
"Without the Celestial, using that artifact could only backfire on him."
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you so good news," he said.
Zou Yangping asked, "What good news?"
Yuan Tian replied, "I have secretly contacted the Empress of Dayue. The Empress has already broken through to the Celestial Realm, comprehended Sword Intent, and her strength is not sothing ordinary Celestials can compare to. Most importantly, she has decided to stand with us."
Upon hearing this, Si Yuhua and Zou Yangping were stunned, then they looked at each other, both feeling extrely surprised, not expecting such good news.
With the inclusion of the Empress, a Celestial who has comprehended Sword Intent, they now totaled four Celestials. When the ti ca to eliminate one of Lu Chen's Celestials, Lu Chen would be left with only three Celestials.
Moreover, they would control Lu Chen's wives, concubines, and children by then, using them to set so traps.
For a mont, Zou Yangping and Si Yuhua felt confident of their victory.
At that point, Si Yuhua suddenly thought of sothing and imdiately asked, "You said the Empress has decided to stand with us? Then supporting Prince Wu Ming of Great Wu for the throne, won't that offend the Empress?"
Yuan Tian replied, "The Empress is a Celestial, difficult to control. If we let her beco the new emperor, she might one day have the sa thoughts as the current tyrant, and we might have to rally once again."
"So, I promised the Empress that once we overthrow Great Sum and eliminate the tyrant, all lands of Dayue will be returned to her, and half of Great Wu's land will also be governed by her. She finally agreed."
Si Yuhua said, "Sect Master Yuan's strategy is good. As a Celestial, the Empress indeed should not control the world; if she does, she might beco another tyrant."
"Having two dynasties isn't a problem."
The three then discussed more details of their strategy. The only thing left was for Lu Chen to leave Yan County.
Late at night.
After a busy day, Lu Chen stood up from his chair and stretched.
Bai Qingqing was about to ask Lu Chen which Noble Concubine's chamber he was visiting tonight when Lu Chen said, "Tonight, I'm going to Yunrong Palace." Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun had just returned from Mysterious Moon Palace, so of course, he wanted to catch up properly with them. They had only spoken briefly during the day, and he hadn't done anything; tonight, they needed to have a good communication.
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Bai Qingqing respectfully said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Subsequently, Lu Chen headed to Yunrong Palace, but as soon as he entered, a chill rushed towards him, and he involuntarily shivered from the bone-chilling cold.
He imdiately understood what was happening.
Then, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Honored Master, Rongrong and Wanyun have just co back; naturally, I want to catch up with them."
No sooner had Lu Chen finished speaking than another chill rushed towards him, freezing his feet with a layer of ice.
Seeing this, Lu Chen hesitated no longer and instantly used Shadow Shifting to appear in Yun Xianxian's room.
At that mont, Yun Xianxian was dressed in a pale blue outfit with a white undergarnt, sitting quietly on the bed ditating. With cold air emanating from her body, she looked just like a fairy descended from heaven.
