"Give up territory?" Lord Qing's pupils shrank as his sensitive nerves were triggered.
He was most worried that the other forces would get involved with Yuan Venerate Qing and the Xiahou family. The repercussions of Yuan Venerate Qing and Xiahou Chengyu's betrayal, the Xiahou family's hidden power, and the Heavenly Kings who held great military power were unimaginable. Hence, he had been careful not to offend them.
Now, the situation seemed to be developing in the direction he least wanted to see!
He had been worried that Niu Youde would get involved with the Xiahou family. Why did he want to get rid of Niu Youde? It was because of this taboo! He would rather delay dealing with the rebellion of his unfilial son and keep an eye on Teng Fei. In fact, he had always been wary of Niu Youde to guard against this move!
Sima Wentian nodded. "The other forces in the southern army don't seem to have any plans to reinforce the Fourth Route. The forces of the netherworld army are already weak against the southern army, yet they dare to disperse their forces in the Fourth Route. It seems like they aren't afraid of the southern army's counterattack at all. The Fourth Route also didn't manage to put up a decent resistance!"
Lord Qing's eyes flashed with a murderous aura as he pointed at Shangguan Qing. "Contact Niu Youde and tell him to send his troops immediately. If he doesn't destroy the netherworld army, I will destroy him!"
The few of them fell silent. They knew that he had crossed the line. This was an ultimatum. He would not hesitate to start an all-out war!
"Yes!" Shangguan Qing bowed.
In the vast starry sky, the netherworld army kept seizing the Fourth Route's territory. Meanwhile, Yang Qing rushed back to Ox King Planet.
He had returned without being summoned this time. After receiving the news of the victory in the Ancient Desolate Era, he was still worried. He bid farewell to Yuan Venerate Qing and his son and rushed back.
As soon as he arrived at the prince's residence, he rushed to the study.
Miao Yi smiled. "Why did you come back? Aren't you afraid that the mother and son will overthink? "
"They are already in a difficult position. There's nothing to worry about! On the other hand, Your Highness, I wonder if you are in a difficult position too? " Yang Qing was worried. As soon as he spoke, he realized he had gone overboard. "Your Highness, why hasn't Teng Fei sent his troops to attack yet? Did something happen?"
These words immediately pointed out Miao Yi's loophole, causing him to sink into silence.
Yang Qing groaned inwardly. It seemed that his worries had come true. He said in a pained voice, "Your Highness is muddle-headed! If Teng Fei did not send out his troops as promised, he would not be able to pin down the Imperial Guards in the eastern army. Once the situation became disadvantageous to the Prince, Teng Fei would not send out his troops and might even side with the Green Emperor. As long as the Green Lord promised to let Teng Fei take control of the southern army after the prince was killed, the conflict between Teng Fei and Cheng Taize would naturally be resolved. At that time, the entire eastern army would be under the Green Lord's control, and the Imperial Guard that had been pinned down would be free to deal with the prince. Once the situation is disadvantageous to His Highness, Qing Zhu only needs to let the Kou and Guang Princes know that Teng Fei is replacing His Highness and that their interests will not be affected in order to appease them. The two princes do not want to affect their own interests and have been sitting on the mountain to reap the spoils. Naturally, they will watch His Highness from the sidelines. When that time comes, how will His Highness deal with the attack of the entire Imperial Guards? Not to mention, the Eastern Army Teng and Prince Cheng were also there to support them. So what if the Prince called out the Purgatory's troops to help? They will not be able to stop them! At that time, His Highness will definitely be defeated and the Netherworld Rebel Army will be annihilated. All of His Highness's efforts over the years will go down the drain! In this subordinate's opinion, the Green Lord's moves are extraordinary. Since he started the battle with five hundred million Imperial Guards, he must have planned this a long time ago. The troops in the eastern army were actually prepared to deal with His Highness. However, His Highness has been hiding behind the scenes all this time, and I don't see any signs of him getting involved. In addition, he is afraid that the Xiahou Family might have some kind of conspiracy, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. Once His Highness is forced into a corner, he will definitely act against His Highness! Previously, this subordinate couldn't see through Qing Zhu's intentions and thought that Qing Zhu was at his wit's end. It was only when the Netherworld Army was like a hot knife through butter and Teng Fei remained motionless that this subordinate realized that the eastern army had already been suppressed by Qing Zhu. After thinking about it again, I realized that Qing Zhu had already quietly placed a chess piece to decide the outcome. As long as there is no situation that he cannot deal with, then from the very beginning, as long as His Highness dares to jump out, His Highness will definitely be defeated! Looking at the Western Paradise's side, why hasn't he allowed the Western Paradise's monk soldiers to intervene? This also shows that the current situation is not out of his control, and he has been quietly observing the situation all this while! My Highness, from this, we can see that Qing Zhu is not to be underestimated. He has been standing high above the world for many years, holding the sun, the moon, and the earth in his mouth. His aura has swallowed the world, and he is truly a wise man who appears to be stupid! Whoever thinks that he is easy to deal with will reap what they sow! Of course, His Highness still has the Xiahou family as a trump card. However, if we really go all out and His Highness is forced into a corner, how much power do you think the Xiahou family's trump card will be able to display? "
Miao Yi almost broke out in a cold sweat as he listened to Qing Zhu's long speech. It turned out that he had already become a piece of meat on the chopping board in Qing Zhu's eyes without realizing it.
Only now did he realize how risky it was for him to ignore Qing Zhu's advice and act on his own.
Previously, Yang Qing thought that Miao Yi had other plans, but when he saw that the situation had not changed, he realized that something was amiss. He quickly abandoned Yuan Venerate Qing and his son and ran back to find out what was going on.
"My Highness, I'm afraid anyone can tell that His Highness is in cahoots with Yuan Venerate Qing. This has definitely crossed Qing Zhu's bottom line. I'm afraid Qing Zhu can't hold back anymore and is about to make a move on My Highness!" Yang Qing shook his head bitterly.
Yang Zhaoqing didn't even dare to breathe loudly as he listened. He finally understood that no matter how lively the situation was, it might not be able to compare to Qing Zhu's ability to wait and see. He felt a chill in his heart, and his limbs felt a little cold.
At this moment, Miao Yi was shocked. He took out the Star Bell, and after making some calls, he raised his head and stared at Yang Qing. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid it is just as Mister expected. Shangguan Qing has issued an ultimatum to me. According to Qing Zhu, he wants me to send troops to destroy the Netherworld Army. Otherwise, he will destroy me!"
Yang Qing quickly pressed his hand down. "My Highness, don't be anxious. Calm him down first and talk about negotiation! Unless there is no other way, Qing Zhu will not easily fight to the death with the Xiahou family unless he is absolutely certain. His biggest weakness is that he doesn't understand the Xiahou family's situation. I will use this weakness to calm him down through negotiation! "
Miao Yi nodded. He couldn't think of any other choice at the moment, so he immediately followed Yang Qing's instructions.
When the Star Bell was tucked away, Miao Yi let out a long sigh. "It has been temporarily stabilized. They said they will arrange for Hua Yitian to come and negotiate with me!"
"Good! That's good! " Yang Qing also heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He rejoiced in his heart that he had returned in time. He had almost messed things up. However, he was a little puzzled. In such a situation, why didn't Lord White, who was hiding behind him, make any moves? Before this, he had hoped to get lucky. He wanted to observe from the sidelines and see more of what Lord White was up to. Only by letting Lord White make a move would he be able to obtain more information he wanted. It was only when he couldn't hold it in any longer that he ran back.
Miao Yi had already walked out from behind the table. He bowed deeply to Yang Qing and said, "Since Mister has already seen through Qing Zhu's evil scheme, do you have any good ideas to teach me?"
Yang Qing hurriedly said that he wouldn't dare and quickly moved away. After helping Miao Yi up, he didn't act pretentiously. Now wasn't the time to be pretentious anyway. He said in a deep voice, "I wouldn't call it a good idea. Your Highness's actions will affect everything else. A single mishap will cause all the forces to fight over it. It's not a problem that can be solved with brute force alone in the past! But now that things have come to this, Your Highness has already made a move against Venerated Qing and his mother. This has pushed the situation to this point. Sooner or later, Qing Zhu will know the truth. When that happens, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as assassinating Your Highness. We will have no choice but to take the risk and compete with Qing Zhu! "
It was good that there was a way. Miao Yi's eyes shone with anticipation. "I'm all ears!"
Yang Qing said decisively, "Firmly deny colluding with Venerated Qing. Continue to negotiate with Qing Zhu, and force the others to negotiate with Qing Zhu as well …" He blabbered on and on about the plan he had prepared beforehand.
Yang Zhaoqing nodded slightly as he listened.
Miao Yi pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "Good! Although the risks are great, it is a good idea. We will do as Mister says! "
"What?"
Kou Lingxu, who had been drinking in the loft of the Kou Heavens King's residence, suddenly stood up with a look of shock on his face.
Tang Henian nodded and said, "There should be no mistake. Everything has proven that Niu Youde is purposely giving up his territory to Venerated Qing!"
Kou Lingxu shook his head. "That's impossible! Given Niu Youde's current strength, he doesn't have to admit that he's the strongest in the four armies. Putting that aside, he's still second only to one person in this world. What good would it do him to give up his territory to Venerated Qing? So what if Venerated Qing ascends to the throne? He won't be able to surpass his current status! "
Tang Henian pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that the Xiahou family has him under control?"
Kou Lingxu pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "No! This guy is too much of a troublemaker. I want to personally ask him what's going on! "He then took out his star bell and contacted Miao Yi.
Before Kou Lingxu could contact Miao Yi, Lord Guang had already contacted Miao Yi to ask about it.
After both parties had communicated, Kou Lingxu immediately asked, "Niu Youde, now that things have come to this, let's not hide it anymore. What do you mean by giving up your territory to Venerated Qing? What do you and Venerated Qing want?"
Miao Yi seemed angry. "Master Qing has gone too far. If the Xiahou family hadn't informed me in time, I would have been killed by him!"
Kou Lingxu was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
Miao Yi: "Master Qing has ambushed an army of ten million elites in the Primordial Wastelands in order to kill me. If not for the current situation that has delayed my journey, I would have died a long time ago!"
Kou Lingxu: "That's impossible, right? The entrance to the Primordial Wastelands is under your control. How could you let someone send so many people in so easily under your watch? "
Miao Yi: "Why not? The ten million elite guards hiding in the Primordial Wastelands have already been annihilated by me not long ago. The Left Supervisory Commandant's Deputy Commander, Ximen Wuye, who personally led the ambush, has already been beheaded. There are witnesses and material evidence. How can he deny it? This King could not tolerate this. Since Master Qing dared to do this and wanted to force this King to his death, then this King had no other choice!
