Changfeng Building passed on the intelligence as quickly as possible.
When Li Guanyi went in search of auspicious signs, Southwest Prince Duan Qingyu noticed the situation in the Southwest seed to be changing; the news of the disappearance of twenty-four Bright Pearls spread rapidly, undoubtedly driven by so hidden force.
anwhile, the most important national treasure of the vast land spanning thousands of miles—the legendary Jiuli Divine Weapon suddenly awakened, with the soldier’s evil spirit surging into the sky, urging countless weapons to rise and hover around.
Such a great anomaly could not possibly be concealed.
Therefore, the Southwest, which had been silent for a long ti, was gradually thrown into chaos by these two imnse pieces of news. Southwest was vast, and Mu Taihong had people stationed everywhere to swiftly spread these ssages.
Mu Taihong was preparing for his eventual rise to power.
He intentionally added so intensely personal remarks to the ssages.
He said, "The world is in chaos, winds are rising, clouds are gathering; it is the mont for heroes to erge, and for kings to reveal themselves. In the Western Regions, there’s the Heavenly Khan, Marquis Qin Wu; in the Central Plains, there’s the Wolf King, Jiang Wanxiang, the Turkic Khan; the Southwest also deserves its own leader!"
"Why do they say anything about the Southwest Prince?"
"It’s precisely because this Southwest Prince lacks the virtue to match his position, he is unfit to lead the Southwest, hence the many anomalies."
"Hence the matter of the twenty-four Bright Pearls being obtained and lost again!"
"Hence the sudden brilliance of the divine weapon left by the Jiuli Ancestor!"
This was how things went ordinarily up to this point.
Suddenly, a scholar ca to join Mu Taihong’s ranks.
Though his appearance was ordinary, his speech was extraordinary; he possessed great wisdom and strategy, offered many suggestions, and all proved effective. In a short ti, he won Mu Taihong’s trust.
Seeing that the opportunity had co, this gentleman said again:
"Now that the world is in chaos, I see the heroism of the City Lord, who should occupy the Southwest; conquer the Western Regions above and rge with South Chen via waterways below; the martial force should aim directly at Jiangnan; thus the world can be pursued."
"Yet, although the general situation is excellent, there is one danger that worries the General."
Mu Taihong asked, "What should we be cautious of?"
The gentleman said: "Be cautious of Taiping Duke’s popularity among the people."
Mu Taihong was slightly startled, as the gentle-looking, absolutely harmless gentleman explained the situation in the Southwest, stating that Taiping Duke’s popularity among the Southwest folks was excessively high. At that ti, even if the Southwest Prince Duan Qingcang was toppled, it would be hard to stop the public’s desire to ally with Taiping Duke’s son.
Mu Taihong beca worried upon hearing this.
The gentleman then said with a smile: "But, a great opportunity has been granted to you."
"The Heavenly Mandate is truly upon you."
Mu Taihong was taken aback, asking, "What opportunity?"
The gentleman smiled: "Originally, given Taiping Duke’s popularity among the people, it would have been impossible to have any chance of winning. Now, however, it’s favorable; the Bright Pearls lost, and the Divine Weapon has revived."
"These two anomalies, combined with the Southwest and the Jiuli people’s age-old legends, are enough to evoke massive fa among the populace, equating to directing thousands of years of public sentint swiftly!"
"Taiping Duke is rely a legendary figure; but this is a mythology!"
"If the grand plan succeeds, then the public sentint of the Southwest and their trust will all turn to you. By then, wouldn’t whatever Taiping Duke’s son, Marquis Qin Wu, or the Southwest Prince all be no match for the City Lord?"
"Even Chen Dingye could be brought to dance for you."
The gentle gentleman smiled with eyes expressing warmth and lowered his voice, elaborating a scenario that moved Mu Taihong considerably. The gentleman said again: "As long as you reclaim the twenty-four Bright Pearls."
"It will be enough to harvest this fruit of public sentint."
"By then, your fa will surely surpass that of Taiping Duke and the Wolf King!"
Mu Taihong was profoundly moved, saying: "Sir, you truly have great talent!"
So, a passage was added to what was being spread across various places.
[If anyone can reclaim these twenty-four Bright Pearls, or bring about transformations with the Divine Weapon, he is the King of Legends of Southwest Country, destined to lead the Southwest and contend with the world!]
Mu Taihong prepared in advance and had the help of this renowned scholar. Once excitent was stirred, it indeed created trendous montum; the speed at which it spread was akin to wildfire, quickly perating everywhere, catching Duan Qingcang, Tai Boyong off guard.
As had been anticipated, this evoked the mythological legend of the Southwest, moving the hearts of the people, truly was a wonderful plan. Within a few days, a great wave resonated throughout the entire Southwest region.
There are sayings [The one who acquires the twenty-four Bright Pearls is destined to be king].
And [The one who acquires the Divine Weapon is destined to be the common master of the world] is spreading.
A few days later, rumors claid that –
A fox in the deep mountains spoke human words, saying twenty-four Bright Pearls have appeared, bringing great auspiciousness to the world, and it was rumored that mystical beasts like the Xuanhu and the Divine Bird were seen in the mountains, auspicious signs, causing the situation to beco restless.
It was no longer Mu Taihong’s n spreading ssages, but the entire populace of Southwest passing on the news, the hearts of the people had moved.
The great montum had ford.
Mu Taihong remained enthusiastically engaged, unaware that the changes were surging beyond his control. That gentleman engaged in idle chats daily, discussing global trends, astonishing others, and Mu Taihong’s subordinates highly respected him.
That day, Mu Taihong warmly grasped the gentleman’s arm, earnestly saying: "Your talent, sir, is unmatched in the world, a hero of the ti, once I attain the world, sir will be my Pri Minister."
The gentle gentleman smiled and politely declined.
Mu Taihong realized this gentleman was greedy for wealth; he deeply understood, fearing not the greedy, but those without flaws. Consequently, he was extraordinarily generous to this gentleman. Even if the gentleman’s demand for wealth grew increasingly overwhelming, to the point it hurt Mu Taihong’s finances, he pretended to be magnanimously generous in providing it.
