High Heaven, Heavenly Fate Pavilion!
Zhong Shan sat behind the desk with Sorrowful Green Silk standing beside him. In front of him stood Shui Jing and a white-clothed youth. It was the Black Tortoise Clan's young lord, Tortoise Snake!
"Tortoise Snake? This is the second time we've met! "Zhong Shan said with a smile.
Zhong Shan did not stand up to greet him. Tortoise Snake also thought that it was natural. If Zhong Shan was too enthusiastic, Tortoise Snake would not have come here. As long as Zhong Shan's attitude was proper, at least it was not like the master-servant relationship in the World of Immortals, Tortoise Snake felt that it was enough. And Zhong Shan had a good grasp of propriety.
"Last time, my Black Tortoise Clan had just signed a contract with the Yinyue Dynasty. Not long after I arrived at the Yinyue Dynasty, your dynasty was destroyed as a stepping stone. The memory is still fresh, how can I forget it! "Tortoise Snake said with a bitter smile.
"If the Yinyue Dynasty was not destroyed, the Daikon State would not exist. If the Yinyue Dynasty was still around, you and I would not have met today!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"That's true. Everything is destined!" Tortoise Snake said casually.
"Since you're here today, I think you've made up your mind, right?" Zhong Shan looked at Tortoise Snake and said with a solemn expression.
"I want to know, what can you give me? What status will the Black Tortoise Clan have in the future? Emperor Zhong's words carry enormous weight. I want to hear it from you, "Tortoise Snake said without backing down.
Looking at Tortoise Snake, Zhong Shan and Shui Jing looked at each other and smiled.
"Alright, I'll explain it to you today!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Mm!"
"The Daikon State's national beast is a wolf. It can only be a wolf. When the Black Tortoise Clan enters the Daikon State, it can only be equal to the Phoenix Clan. As long as the Black Tortoise Clan is loyal, I can promise that as long as I, Zhong Shan, am alive, the Black Tortoise Clan will prosper forever!" Zhong Shan said sincerely.
Tortoise Snake frowned and pondered for a while.
"What guarantee do you have?" the Turtle-Snake asked after some thought.
"This is my empress. You should be very clear about this. For her, I would charge into the World of Immortals' trap without hesitation!" Zhong Shan looked at the sorrowful Qing Si.
When Sorrowful Green Silk heard Zhong Shan's words, she looked at Zhong Shan with a gentle gaze. Her emotions were hard to hide.
"Alright!" Turtle-Snake nodded.
"Isn't it enough that she signed a contract with the Black Tortoise Race?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Alright, I promise you!" Turtle-Snake looked at Sorrowful Green Silk and finally nodded.
With Turtle-Snake's agreement, Zhong Shan smiled faintly and said, "Since you've agreed to join the Daikon State, what else do you have to say to me?"
"Eh? Haha, it is said that the Daikon State's Emperor is as shrewd as a demon! As expected! Actually, the reason I came here this time was because Supreme-Being asked me to make a feint! "The Turtle-Snake laughed.
"You're wrong. It wasn't me who saw through your feint. It was this person beside you!" Zhong Shan pointed at Shui Jing.
Turtle-Snake looked at Shui Jing in surprise and sighed, "Mister Shui Jing is a genius! Thinking back to our conversation some time ago, perhaps my current decision was all because of Mister Shui Jing's guidance. "
"This is your own decision. It has nothing to do with me! It doesn't matter what Gui Shou thinks. What's important is that you've decided to join the Daikon State! "Shui Jing waved his feather fan and said.
"Then what do we do next?" Turtle-Snake looked at Zhong Shan.
"How many of the Black Tortoise Race are loyal to you?" Zhong Shan asked.
"One-third of them are loyal to me. They don't want to be involved with the World of Immortals. One-third are loyal to Supreme-Being and the remaining one-third are undecided!" Turtle-Snake thought for a while and said.
"Alright, then we'll leave it to Shui Jing to persuade the undecided Black Tortoise Race. Arrange for those who are loyal to you to be in important positions and those who are loyal to Gui Shou to stay within your line of sight!" Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.
"Alright!"
"Shui Jing, go and make the arrangements. A fierce battle is about to begin!"
"Yes!" Shui Jing nodded.
"A fierce battle is about to begin!"
The next day in the study room, Yi Yan said the same thing to Zhong Shan.
"A fierce battle? Four Great Imperial Empires attacking together? "Zhong Shan smiled faintly.
"That's right. These four Great Imperial Empires are attacking the Daikon State at the same time to conquer the world!" Yi Yan nodded and said.
"Ten years ago, I had to be cautious. Does the Daikon State need to be cautious now?" Zhong Shan said disdainfully.
"But there are traces of the World of Immortals in this. No, these four Great Imperial Empires are obviously puppets of the World of Immortals!" Yi Yan frowned.
"World of Immortals? What a deep foundation! But don't worry. During the chaotic times, Zhu Qiang is obstructed and the World of Immortals can't do anything to me. They couldn't even stop me in the Icebound Imperial Empire. How can they stop me in the Daikon State? I can borrow the power of the Daikon State. Those who can hurt me can be counted on one hand. "Zhong Shan said confidently.
"Alright!"
"I have already arranged for Shui Jing to deal with the four Great Imperial Empires. The Great Swallowing Plan can't be delayed. Speed up the process!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes, the Great Swallowing Plan is going smoothly. No, it's going extremely smoothly. In the past half a year, those high-ranking officials can't get away from it. The citizens of each empire are even more obsessed with nurturing their subordinates. Rank Nine, Rank Three. The Prime Minister with the highest income now earns a million Upper Grade Spiritual Stones a day, which is equivalent to a hundred million Lower Grade Spiritual Stones. A hundred million Lower Grade Spiritual Stones a day. Who can support that? No matter how firm one's principles are, they will be crushed by this terrifying daily income. These Spiritual Stones have already surpassed the obsession of the officials for power. The economy of each empire is already in chaos. Although it's still under the surface, it's too crazy. Without anyone to stop it, it will cause more and more destruction! "Yi Yan sighed.
"Alright, then speed up the process. I have a feeling that someone has already seen through the Great Swallowing Plan!" Zhong Shan said after thinking for a while.
"Oh? Who? That can't be right? "Yi Yan frowned.
"The north!"
"Lu Buwei of the Daqin State?" Yi Yan frowned.
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will speed up the process!" Yi Yan nodded.
"Alright, you and Shui Jing don't have to care about the High Heaven anymore. Go and control the south!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!"
East of the Daikon State, Donglin Imperial Empire. In the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, the Daikon State is powerful now. We shouldn't put ourselves in danger. If we send troops now, it's not appropriate for us. If we don't send troops, we will be spied on by the other Imperial Empires. If the Daikon State isn't pacified, our empire will be in danger!" A minister said.
"Is there anyone who disagrees with the Prime Minister?" Donglin Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, the Daikon State borders our empire. There will be a war sooner or later. The Daikon State is getting stronger and stronger. It will be harder to deal with them in the future. Why don't we gather the other Imperial Empires and pacify them?" Another man said.
"The Crown Prince is right. Does anyone have anything to say?" Donglin Emperor asked again.
"I agree, Crown Prince. War!"
"I agree, Prime Minister. No war!"
"I agree, Prime Minister. No war!"
"No war!"
"No war!"
… … …
… … …
… …
The imperial court became extremely strange. Other than a few people, the other ministers were all unwilling to fight? Donglin Emperor's eyes were filled with confusion. What's wrong with my ministers? They used to have Battle Aura. Why are they so cowardly now?
"I've made up my mind. War!" Donglin Emperor said coldly.
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!" The Prime Minister said respectfully.
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!" The ministers all shouted.
Rebel against the Emperor? Donglin Emperor's eyes were cold. Why were they not willing to send troops to deal with the Daikon State?
"Hmph!" Donglin Emperor snorted coldly and left the hall.
The imperial court ended without a conclusion. Following that, the ministers split up into many smaller factions and entered their own mansions. Inside the Prime Minister's manor. Seven or eight people had arrived.
"Prime Minister, why don't you try to persuade His Majesty? If war breaks out, my subordinates will definitely be affected. If we can't increase the number of new members, what will happen to our income in the future? Also, if war breaks out, the Scenic Jade Wall will be out of stock. That'll cut our throats! "An official said anxiously.
"Prime Minister, why don't we make a Scenic Jade Wall as well? That won't be difficult! "
"No, the goods can't be too heavy. If we fake it, there will be more fakes everywhere. Now, many people want to fake it, but who dares to? If they do, they'll steal our source of income. All members will kill them. Also, the Scenic Jade Wall has a special anti-counterfeiting Divine Sense. If it's found to be fake, then our subordinates will be out of our control and our income will stop. "The Prime Minister said.
"Mm, then the most important thing now is to minimize the impact of this imperial court war. It's best if it doesn't cause any chaos!"
"Mm!"
Just like that, the murderous imperial court war had become a sacrifice of benefits. It had become a court war that was all bark and no bite. What power would there be in such a war?
It was the same in the other three imperial courts of the Daikon State. The ministers all objected to the imperial court war. Rebel against the Emperor, and the loyalty of the ministers to the imperial court was getting worse and worse!
However, under the strong request of the four emperors, the war began as scheduled. Once the imperial court war began, the killing at the borders of the Daikon State officially began.
Zhong Shan handed the war over to the Water Mirror Master and sat in the High Heaven. Because Zhong Shan wanted to wait for the mastermind, Taoist Master Shenya, to show himself.
As expected, after two months of war, the four imperial courts couldn't do anything to the Daikon State. Taoist Master Shenya couldn't sit still anymore. He led a group of Heaven Realm cultivators and flew to the High Heaven personally.
Their group had come with a great momentum, not at all inferior to when they were dealing with Nie Fanchen.
There were a total of seven people: Taoist Master Shenya, Nu Qinghui, Gui Shou, and four elders of the Realm of Immortals.
"Realm Master, the Celestial Slaying Sword isn't here. I'm afraid the formation we set up …!" An elder frowned.
"Kill and destroy. The Celestial Slaying Sword is enough to set up the formation. When the time comes, I'll personally lead the South and replace the Celestial Slaying Sword!" Taoist Master Shenya said in a low voice.
"Yes!" The elder didn't say anything else.
When the seven peerless superiors approached the High Heaven, in the Palace of Immortals in the High Heaven.
Zhong Shan sat on the dragon throne with his eyes closed and his fingers gently tapping the throne. All the officials and generals were waiting in silence. Suddenly, a white shadow flashed in the center of the hall. Di Xuanke suddenly arrived.
"They're here?" Zhong Shan opened his eyes and asked.
"They're here. Seven Heaven Realm cultivators!" Di Xuanke nodded.
