Even a magnitude 12 tsunami couldn't describe the shock in Yao Guang Yi's heart.
Being schemed against by the borders was no different from a clown. Yao Guang Yi had always thought that the Wang Clan had received the help of an expert who saw through his plans.
Because of this' expert ', Yao Guang Yi couldn't eat or sleep in peace.
One shouldn't be afraid of meeting a formidable opponent, but of not knowing who his opponent was. Thus, before finding this person, Yao Guang Yi couldn't pull himself together.
This was a knot in his heart!
If he didn't resolve this problem, he would never be able to return to his previous self.
Just that, no matter how smart Yao Guang Yi was, he couldn't have imagined that his opponent, the incomparably formidable 'expert' in his heart, was a teenage child of the Wang Clan, an unassuming profligate scion!
How could an influential official of the royal court, Yao Guang Yi, who prided himself on his intelligence, accept this?
"Father, how can you be so sure that the child is the one who schemed against me?"
Yao Guang Yi asked.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare to doubt his father's words. However, this matter was simply too important to him. If he didn't resolve this knot in his heart, he would always be brooding over it.
"Heh, you still don't get it?"
Old Master Yao kept the wooden box on the table into his drawer. His expression was calm, as though he was talking about an insignificant matter that he already knew the answer to:
"Such a huge incident happened at the borders with the Wang Clan, and the Wang Clan produced a 'formidable expert'. Do you think that the King of Song can sit still? Isn't he going to take a look?"
"But, what if he already knew about it?"
Yao Guang Yi asked.
Old Master Yao shook his head. If it was the Yao Guang Yi of the past, he would have already understood the situation upon hearing his words. However, the incident at the borders had dealt a blow to his confidence, and he no longer seemed like the wise general he used to be.
"Think about it carefully. If the Wang Clan really has a powerful expert, If the King of Song really knew about it beforehand, do you think that your plan with King Qi would succeed? Do you think that you can still rope in so many people? "
Hong!
Old Master Yao's voice was neither loud nor soft, and he spoke in a light and breezy manner. But in Yao Guang Yi's ears, it was as if he had been enlightened. In that instant, it was as if there were countless rays of light and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. In the unseen world, many things that he couldn't understand before suddenly seemed to be made clear.
"… So, the last person to see the King of Song during Duke Jiu's birthday banquet is the person we are looking for!"
"Un."
Old Master Yao nodded his head in relief. Old Master Yao nodded his head in relief.
"Li Chengqi can be considered an intelligent person. Unfortunately, his cleverness is his own downfall. He wanted to protect that child, but he didn't know that he was the one who let us know who was behind this. "
Yao Guang Yi sat there in a daze, not moving an inch. His eyes were cloudy, filled with confusion, fear, and confusion. But slowly, like a person who had fallen into a whirlpool, he slowly struggled to the surface, and his eyes slowly became clear.
Moreover, there was something new struggling out from the bottom of his heart.
The confused Yao Guang Yi slowly disappeared and a confident and dignified Yao Guang Yi slowly appeared in the room.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. … Back at the Vast Crane Pavilion, I thought that it was just a coincidence. I didn't expect that it's actually him! "
Yao Guang Yi said 'I can't believe it' a few times in succession. This matter really gave him too big of a surprise.
"Father, the Wang Clan has never been known for its intelligence. Now that the Wang Clan has produced this brat, he even schemed against me. This is definitely not a good thing. "
"So … are you going to get rid of him?"
Old Master Yao turned around and said unhurriedly.
Yao Guang Yi was stunned. According to him, such a threatening existence had to be eliminated. Moreover, the sooner, the better. However, from what the old man said, it seemed like he didn't agree with him doing this.
"Father, you mean to keep him alive for now?"
Yao Guang Yi was truly surprised.
"It's not a matter of staying or not!"
Old Master Yao stared deeply at Yao Guang Yi. There seemed to be something else in his eyes.
"If you want to kill that child, even if the Wang Clan seeks vengeance, even if Wang Bowu pursues the matter, even if the Holy Emperor blames you … I can bear all of it for you. However, are you sure that you want to do this? "
The room was silent. Only the crackling of the oil lamp could be heard.
Yao Guang Yi sat there in a daze and fell into deep thought.
Old Master Yao shook his head. The onlooker sees the situation clearly. This child still hadn't recovered from that defeat.
"Guang Yi … Do you think that the reason why our Yao Clan is where it is today is through massacring our opponents? If we massacred every single one of them, what difference is there between us and those general clans? "
Old Master Yao said casually.
Weng!
Hearing these words, Yao Guang Yi's body trembled. Not knowing what he was thinking, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"You still don't understand. The crux of this matter isn't that child but you! Do you know why you want to kill him? Because you are fearful. "
Old Master Yao narrowed his eyes. However, his gaze wasn't on Yao Guang Yi. Instead, it was on the flickering oil lamp:
"Our Yao Clan has been through many trials and tribulations, and there are many people more formidable than that child. Is Zhou Chang weaker than him? Is Li Yu weaker than him? Is Wang Gengzhi weaker than him? … Out of so many people, we didn't kill any of them. But when we met this child, you wanted to kill him because you are afraid! Fearful! "
"… And your opponent is just a child!"
Yao Guang Yi's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. With every sentence that Old Master Yao spoke, a layer of cold sweat would appear on his forehead. When he heard the last sentence, Yao Guang Yi's clothes were already drenched.
"Meeting an opponent isn't scary. Our Yao Clan has never been afraid of meeting an opponent. If we really meet him, we just have to use schemes to defeat him. What we are afraid of is that you will lose the courage to use schemes to defeat him. Guang Yi, think carefully. Do you really want to get rid of that child? "
The room was silent. A long while later, a long sigh could be heard.
"Father, I was wrong!"
"It's not too late for you to understand. That child of the Wang Clan must be gotten rid of, but not in this manner. Go, this Consort Tai Zhen incident is your best opportunity. Use your wisdom to help the King of Qi regain his trust. "
After saying these words, Old Master Yao closed his eyes.
"… Yes, father!"
Yao Guang Yi bowed and slowly and respectfully retreated out of the room. When he came, he was filled with worries. But when he left, it was as though a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders!
… …
Wang Chong knew that regardless of whether it was the 'Consort Tai Zhen incident' or the 'regional commanders incident', it wasn't something that could be resolved within a short period of time.
The turmoil in the royal court was bound to last for a very long time.
However, all of this had nothing to do with him.
After paying his respects to his grandfather, Wang Chong's life quickly returned to normal. Every day, he would head to the Ghost Tree District to play chess before practicing his martial arts. His life was rather regular.
As for the second seven-chi long saber, the design of the thick, narrow, and thick-backed WuZi Steel saber, it had already been completed. Wang Chong had entrusted the initial work to Tuoba Guiyuan.
As for the crucial quenching and tempering of the saber, Wang Chong would handle it personally when the time came.
"… Origin Energy Tier 6. Perhaps it's time for me to choose some cultivation techniques that can boost my strength."
While cultivating alone near the fake mountain in the garden, a thought suddenly flashed across Wang Chong's mind. It was Xu Xuan of the Xu Clan.
Even though he had lost, Xu Xuan's' Fragrant Elephant Technique 'had left a deep impression on him. The Xu Clan was a duke of the Tang dynasty, and the martial arts bestowed upon them by the Holy Emperor back then was naturally extraordinary.
Compared to the cultivation techniques of many general clans, the 'Fragrant Elephant Technique' was definitely one of the top-notch cultivation techniques that could boost one's strength. It was due to this cultivation technique that Xu Xuan was able to stand out among his peers in the capital.
If he didn't use the 'Herculean Punch' technique and just relied on pure strength, Wang Chong might not be a match for Xu Xuan!
Upon reaching Origin Energy Tier 6, one would be in a completely different world. Speed, strength, and dexterity, these were three different paths.
Most people would subconsciously choose cultivation techniques that boosted their strength, and Wang Chong was no exception. However, it wasn't because Wang Chong chose the strength-type path for himself. Rather, it was because Wang Chong had no other choice.
Origin Energy Tier 6 could only choose cultivation techniques that boosted one's strength.
Wang Chong's mind whirred, and soon, he went through the cultivation techniques from his previous life. Wang Chong first filtered out the ordinary strength-type cultivation techniques.
To Wang Chong, strength-type cultivation techniques had to at least reach the level of 《Fragrant Elephant Technique》, and it would be best if he could surpass it.
"I got it!"
A thought flashed across Wang Chong's mind, and he suddenly recalled an ultimate art. To Wang Chong, who eventually became the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains, this ultimate art wasn't much of a formidable technique.
However, in the Origin Energy realm, this was definitely the fastest technique to boost one's strength.
'Might of the Barbaric God'!
This was the result of everyone's brainstorming. It was the fastest, strongest, and best Cultivation Technique to increase a cultivator's strength. It was also the most efficient.
Back then, they were prepared to promote it among the warriors so as to allow the human warriors to stand against the otherworldly invaders and suppress them completely.
If they succeeded, they might even be able to turn the tides of the war, allowing the otherworldly invaders to come from the other side!
Due to this unexpected success, the generals of the Central Plains, including the elders, were excited for a very long time!
But in the end, this plan was put on hold.
The reason was simple. Even though Might of the Barbaric God was powerful and could boost one's strength by leaps and bounds, there was a huge flaw in it.
— — One had to have a 'Tiger Bone' root bone in order to cultivate Might of the Barbaric God!
This was due to the fact that most warriors weren't suited for it. Those who were truly suited for it were few and far between. On the other hand, raising one's root bone was an extremely long and arduous process. In the end, the entire plan failed.
