From the very beginning, Xiao Chen had treated the Moonless Empire as his base. Therefore, he had to ensure that the Moonless Empire had a relatively safe environment. In addition, he had already found his mother, Bai Ruyue, and it was obvious that she would be living in the Moonless Empire in the future. Therefore, the person in charge of the Moonless Empire must be someone he could trust. Naturally, this person was none other than the Third Prince, Chu Wuming.
Now that he had successfully subdued the Mountain Suppression Army, Xiao Chen had originally planned to slowly subdue the other three armies. But now, it seemed that there was not enough time. He had to settle the matter of the Moonless Empire before the Sage Sect selection began.
After finding the Burning Sky Ruler, Xiao Chen secretly talked with him for several hours. Then, the Burning Sky Ruler left Zhenshan City and returned to the imperial capital.
As a Dao Emperor, the Burning Sky Ruler was naturally more suitable to guard the imperial capital. However, when the Burning Sky Ruler left, Xiao Chen also asked him to order Sikong Ming to secretly come to Zhenshan City.
Next, Xiao Chen had to finish the battle quickly and subdue the other three armies as soon as possible. In this way, he naturally had to have enough strength in his hands.
Sikong Ming arrived at Zhenshan City. Together with Zhang Qi and Hu Yao, Xiao Chen had three Dao Masters in front of him. That was enough.
After settling the matter with the Burning Sky Ruler, Xiao Chen immediately came to Chu Wuming's residence. Chu Wuming was also quite worried about his trip to the Celestial Wolf Empire. Now that he saw Xiao Chen coming, Chu Wuming personally welcomed him.
"Your Highness." Xiao Chen greeted after bowing to Chu Wuming.
"Brother Xiao Chen, how are you? Are you alright?" Facing Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Xiao Chen is fine. I came here to discuss the matter of Hulao Pass with Your Highness." Xiao Chen said.
He did not have much time left. Xiao Chen also planned to let Chu Wuming ascend to the position of Crown Prince as soon as possible and completely control the real power of the Moonless Empire.
If he wanted Chu Wuming to control the real power, the minimum condition was to subdue the four armies in Hulao Pass. Only then would Chu Wuming have enough strength to fight for the position of Crown Prince.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming was slightly stunned. but he quickly recovered. He invited Xiao Chen into the study and the two sat opposite of each other. Xiao Chen told Chu Wuming his thoughts.
According to Xiao Chen's plan, the only way to deal with the remaining three legions in Hulao Pass was to make use of Chu Wuming's banquet as an excuse to invite all the commanders of the three legions to Zhenshan City. Then, he would force them to submit to him. If they didn't submit, he would kill them immediately and let someone else take over.
Xiao Chen's plan could be said to be simple and crude. The main reason was that there was not enough time. If there was enough time, Xiao Chen would naturally be willing to slowly subdue the three armies without anyone noticing. It would be safer this way.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming sank into silence. Xiao Chen's plan was already an undisguised mutiny. After being silent for a while, Chu Wuming finally said slowly.
"Brother Xiao Chen, is there a need to be so anxious?"
It could be seen that Xiao Chen was very anxious to subdue the three armies. Facing Chu Wuming's doubts, Xiao Chen said calmly, "Your Highness, I don't have time. Your Highness should know about the Sage Sect Selection, right?"
"Tianfeng Shengzong's Selection? Brother Xiao, are you going to participate? " As a prince, Chu Wuming naturally heard of the Windless Sage Sect's Sage Sect Selection. At this time, when Xiao Chen mentioned it, Chu Wuming guessed it.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Because he was going to participate in the Sage Sect Selection, he had to deal with the matters of the Wuyue Empire before he left.
He also truthfully told Chu Wuming about Bai Ruye's matter. Xiao Chen once said that he didn't have any thoughts about the Wuyue Empire. He only needed Chu Wuming to be in charge because only then could he ensure the safety of his mother and the many warriors of the Tianchen Continent in the future.
After knowing the reason why Xiao Chen was so anxious to subdue the three armies, Chu Wuming shook his head and said in the end.
"Brother Xiao, your plan is indeed good. However, there's one thing that won't work. Father has an elite army in his hands called the Blood Moon Guards. With this army, our plan won't work."
Xiao Chen's plan was good. This way, they could indeed subdue the three armies in an extremely short period of time. However, this way, the imperial capital would definitely receive the news.
He knew that Xiao Chen wanted to use the four armies in Hulao Pass to force Chu Mu to take a step back. However, as long as he had the Blood Moon Guards, Chu Mu wouldn't be afraid of the threat of the four armies.
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. Blood Moon Guards, wasn't this the same as the Sky Wolf Guards of the Sky Wolf Empire, the Emperor's private army?
Xiao Chen had personally experienced the terror of the Sky Wolf Guards. Although there weren't many of them, every one of them could be said to be strong. Such an army's combat power was definitely not inferior to a million strong army.
Previously, he guessed that the Wuyue Empire definitely had an army that wasn't inferior to the Sky Wolf Guards. Indeed, it was.
Chu Wuming was right. If they didn't deal with the Blood Moon Guards, then even if Chu Wuming controlled the four armies in Hulao Pass, he wouldn't be able to force Chu Mu to take a step back. After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen looked at Chu Wuming and asked, "Your highness, do you think we can subdue the Blood Moon Guards?"
"Impossible. The Blood Moon Guards only listen to Father's orders. They are loyal and devoted to Father. It is impossible to subdue them."
Subduing the Blood Moon Guards? Forget about it. It was simply impossible. Hearing Chu Wuming's words, a cold glint flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes as he said, "Then kill them."
The Blood Moon Guards were the biggest obstacle for Chu Wuming to seize power. Since they couldn't be subdued, then they could only be killed.
Hearing that Xiao Chen actually wanted to eliminate the Blood Moon Guards, Chu Wuming was first stunned. However, he quickly recovered and said to Xiao Chen with a bitter smile.
"Brother Xiao, you want me to force Father into a corner."
Chu Wuming was very clear about the importance of the Blood Moon Guards to Father Chu Wuming. Once the Blood Moon Guards were gone, Chu Wuming wouldn't be able to become the Crown Prince. He could even force Chu Mu to give up his position.
Seeing Chu Wuming's bitter smile, Xiao Chen said calmly. "Your Highness, ask yourself honestly. Do you think His Majesty already has an answer to who the Crown Prince position belongs to?"
Xiao Chen suddenly asked. Hearing this, Chu Wuming quickly understood Xiao Chen's meaning. The smile on his face became even more bitter. "I don't think so. However, it should be between Big Brother and Second Brother. Father has doted on Big Brother and Second Brother since young."
Chu Mu probably hadn't determined who the Crown Prince position belonged to. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed the princes to fight for the Crown Prince position. However, the reason why he couldn't make a decision until now was because Chu Mu didn't know who was more suitable between Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang. As for Chu Wuming, Chu Mu probably never wanted him to be the Crown Prince.
