"Yes, your majesty." Pei Zi Yun returned to his mansion. Behind the screen, the Prime Minister sat with his eyes closed, listening to the conversation. He was in disbelief.
In just a few moments, Pei Zi Yun had the entire world under his control. He was not to be underestimated. If this person wasn't a Daoist, but an official of the imperial court, it would be unimaginable. His name would be left in the annals of history, or his entire family would be wiped out.
"How enviable."
The Prime Minister sighed. The Grand Princess stood by his side and listened intently. Her beautiful eyes were filled with admiration as she listened to the conversation.
"Come out." Emperor Qi Tai spoke to the map. The Prime Minister and the Grand Princess stood up and walked out from behind the screen. The Emperor looked at them and asked, "What do you think of Pei Zi Yun's suggestion? I've listened to it and am pleased with it. If we do it this way, we will be able to quell the rebellion. "
The Prime Minister pondered for a moment before saying, "Based on this theory alone, True Lord Pei is not a selfish person. It's just that I don't know if the screen will be able to intercept our messages. Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll be hiding something …"
"This is the map. Even if Pei Zi Yun is an Earth Immortal, he won't be able to sense that there's someone behind it." The Emperor spoke before turning to the Grand Princess, "Little Canton Princess, it's time to get married."
Chen Prefecture, Lu Xiao County
Thick clouds rolled and covered the entire sky. Lightning could be seen within the clouds. Even though it was winter, the clouds still refused to disperse.
"Damn it."
"The heavens are targeting us."
"Why? With King Lu's Imperial Qi protecting us, we shouldn't be targeted like this." The blind Daoist was dressed in his seventh ranked official robes. He had a grave expression on his face.
At this point, cheers could be heard from outside, "Haha, King Lu has conquered Chen Prefecture. This is a celebration. We have the merit of helping him rise to power. Come, let's go celebrate?"
"I'll go, I'll go. Ai, why is the sky so dark?" A young official walked out from the room and asked suspiciously, "The sky was bright just now."
He then muttered to himself, "Maybe the wind is blowing outside."
He looked up at the sky before looking back at the blind Daoist. The blind Daoist had his head lowered and had a document in front of him. He seemed to be reading it.
The official stepped forward and said, "It's about time, shall we go together?"
When the Blind Daoist heard this, he laughed, "It's alright. I still have some documents here that I haven't finished yet. You can go back first."
"Then I won't wait for you. Next time, it's on you." This official was also promoted by King Lu at the same time as the blind Daoist. Their relationship wasn't too bad, and he had a knowing smile on his face. These officials were all from wealthy families. Even though they were now officials, they were still dissolute and dissolute.
"Of course. Li Gui, you go ahead first. I'll come back later when I'm done. Next time, you can choose between the Red Joy Courtyard or the Hundred Flowers Courtyard."
"Good," said Li Gui, and went away, satisfied.
Boom! Following which, a gust of wind blew past, causing the Blind Daoist to shiver. He heard the sound of the wheels rolling across the bridge. He wanted to speak, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The scholar walked in from outside and saw the Blind Daoist spitting out blood. His face fell as he hurriedly helped him up and asked, "What happened to you? I heard the sound of thunder in the sky. I'm afraid it's an ominous sign. It's as if the heavens are watching us. That's why I rushed over to see you."
The Blind Daoist wiped his nose with his hand, and noticed that the back of his hand was red. He then whispered, "That's right, it's a backlash."
As he spoke up to this point, his eyes squinted as he spoke in a low voice, "We've been discovered. It happened after the two of us disappeared. It seems like Pei Zi Yun is indeed the Son of Destiny, and is connected to the heavens."
The scholar was shocked, "Then what do we do now?"
The Blind Daoist's eyes turned cold as he pushed away the scholar who was holding him up and reached the courtyard. He then looked up into the sky and spoke coldly, "Since we've been discovered, the world will target us more and more."
"I've searched through my memories. It's not like this didn't happen in the past. It's just that it didn't happen so quickly."
"I'm afraid it's going to be hard for us to win quickly. We have to be prepared for a long battle."
As he spoke up to this point, the Blind Daoist shook his head and sighed. His expression was somber, "You should understand that the world will adjust and reject new ideas. We've already investigated the history of this world. Let's take the Dao Arts of this world as an example."
"The first person to become a Dao Monarch, the world didn't react quickly enough."
"It's just that this person wasn't able to see things clearly. At that time, he was satisfied with the title of Grand Tutor and Immortal. He didn't decisively take over the world. Two to three hundred years later, the world reacted."
"After that, there was a tragic battle. This person passed away in meditation. Although he didn't die, he wasn't far from it. Although he paid a heavy price for the Dragon Qi, he relied on the human race to continue to rule the world."
"The current Dragon Qi and Dao energy that are repelling each other was caused by that day."
"If this person had decisively taken over the world, he would've become a Daoist country or a Celestial Dynasty."
The scholar nodded his head, "Unless one's strength far surpasses the world's and can change, it's true that if one doesn't take what the heavens have given him, he would be the one to blame."
"It's the same for our Demon race. If only we could hide for a little longer and accumulate our strength, before the world could react, we could become the orthodox race."
"But now that we've been discovered, we have to fight a long battle. We might even have to work twice as hard for half the results. But since things have come to this, there's nothing we can do. We have to build the Reincarnation Platform. Only then will we be able to turn defeat into victory." The Blind Daoist spoke up to this point, his expression was somewhat dejected.
Actually, the situation was more serious than he had said. If they couldn't conquer the world and become the orthodox race, the best outcome would be for them to become a part of the world. Immortals, Demons, and humans would coexist, and the Demon race would continue to exist.
The scholar didn't know much. Hearing the Blind Daoist's words, he took several steps forward, "What's the Reincarnation Platform? Could it be that we can conquer the world in a single round? "
"Without this, every time we die, the mark of our Demon race would have to be circulated around the world once. As more and more Demon race members die, the mark would become weaker and weaker. Our Demonic Qi would also be depleted and digested by the world."
"With the Reincarnation Platform, the Demon race's mark would return to the Reincarnation Platform and would not be depleted. As long as we have Demonic Qi, we can eventually defeat the entire world." The Blind Daoist spoke as he looked up into the sky. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and his eyes were cold.
"Thankfully, it's getting closer and closer to winter, and the lightning has lessened. Even if the heavens wanted to deal with us, they wouldn't be able to summon lightning. That's why we have to finish this before the spring thunder."
When the scholar heard this, his face was filled with confusion, "The Primordial Spirit that I inherited did not have these memories. However, I know that if we want to succeed, we need to have a foundation. The Reincarnation Platform is the same. But now that the entire world is rejecting us, where do we start to build the Reincarnation Platform?"
When the Blind Daoist heard this, his face was solemn. He then sighed and frowned. He didn't speak for some time. At this point, there was a commotion as someone reported, "Not good. The Emperor has fallen. The Crown Prince has been crowned the next day."
"He's even issued an edict, announcing that King Lu is a traitor, and has been stripped of his title. He's now a criminal, and has been ordered to punish him."
As soon as these words were spoken, a bolt of lightning flashed through the dark clouds, illuminating the entire courtyard. At the same time, a deafening explosion of thunder could be heard, scaring the blind Daoist so much that he trembled. At that point, the stench of blood rose up in his throat, and he hurriedly swallowed it. He didn't retreat back into his room, but instead looked up and pondered for a moment.
The scholar was taken aback, "Although King Lu has raised his troops, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but he didn't strip his title. Hence, although he's fighting on the battlefield, he's still connected to the dynasty."
"Now that he's issued an edict, there's no room for negotiation. King Lu's Imperial Qi has already been broken by half, and has already gone his separate ways. He's now relying on the soldiers and soldiers of the three prefectures to support him. What should we do?"
Hearing the scholar's words, the Blind Daoist's eyes gleamed as he realized something. He then laughed out and said, "Haha, this is good news. We have a foundation, we have a foundation. All we have to do is push forward."
"Let our people submit a petition to King Lu, asking him to ascend the throne immediately. This is a matter of the Imperial Qi. As long as we take the lead, the officials will respond immediately."
"When King Lu becomes the Emperor, he will officially break off all ties with the dynasty. This is all because of the support of our army. He won't be able to repel our demonic Qi."
"When that time comes, we can plot against him."
Study room
King Lu's eyes were closed as he leaned back in his chair. He had a sorrowful look on his face. He was dressed in white robes, and had a white cloth around his neck.
On the table in front of him, there was a huge pile of documents.
The blind Daoist sat down below and didn't speak. Ever since the blind Daoist's suggestions had been effective, King Lu had gained a lot of respect for him.
After some time, King Lu opened his eyes and pulled out a book from the pile of books in front of him.
These documents were all written to persuade King Lu to ascend to the throne. King Lu read a few of them, and his expression was unclear. He muttered to himself, as though he was deep in thought.
Eunuch Liao stood by his side, and didn't speak.
King Lu looked at the blind Daoist, "Now that I'm hesitating, what do you think?"
This was a question. When the blind Daoist heard this, his eyes flashed. He knew that his chance had come. He then stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, the reason why you're in trouble is because the Crown Prince has imprisoned the Emperor and placed him in an important position. He even announced this to the entire world. Since that's the case, how can you acknowledge the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne?"
"The only way is for the Crown Prince to assassinate the Emperor and ascend to the throne. The Mandate of Heaven belongs to your Majesty. If you don't do so, I'm afraid your Majesty won't be able to claim the throne. If you take a step back, it will be difficult for you in the future."
These words were spoken in a forceful tone, and made sense. When King Lu heard this, he felt his blood boiling. He didn't speak immediately, but stood up and walked to the window, looking out.
The skies outside were dark and gloomy. From time to time, there would be the sound of thunder. King Lu looked out and had a strange expression on his face. Logically speaking, these words made sense. In fact, it could be said that he had no other choice.
The reason why he was in trouble was that the Crown Prince had imprisoned the Emperor and placed him in an important position. Hence, he couldn't acknowledge the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne.
He didn't know why, but when he wanted to make a decision, he felt a sense of fear. It was as though once he took the first step, there would be no turning back.
After some time, he laughed. Was there still a chance for him to turn back to the Crown Prince? He then took a deep breath and sighed, "Looks like it's decided."
The blind Daoist looked at King Lu's expression and was elated. He thought to himself, "It's done."
King Lu was a valiant and decisive man. Earlier, he had hesitated, but now he was resolute and decisive, "Men, pass down my decree. The Crown Prince has killed his father, and I cannot live under the same sky as him. I shall make a sacrifice to the heavens and ascend to the throne!"
