If the death of the Heaven Khan could make the entire tribe stronger, so that they could get rid of the control of the mastermind and become the true king of the grasslands, it was definitely a very worthwhile deal.
Of course, it was also possible that he only wanted to find a qualified successor and continue to act as the puppet of the mastermind, but Ding Ning felt that this possibility was very small.
After all, how could an ambitious man who compared himself to Genghis Khan be willing to be a puppet that was controlled by others?
"Sir, I beg you, the Seventh Prince can't die."
Seeing that Ding Ning was silent and did not give in, and that the Seventh Prince, who was panting like a bull and covered in blood, was already struggling and in imminent danger, Mu Ren could not help but anxiously kowtow and beg again.
Ding Ning's thoughts were interrupted by him. He stared at him and suddenly asked a question that no one had expected. "How is Qiqige now?"
Mu Ren raised his head in shock, and there was a touch of gentleness in his eyes. "She is my wife now and knows my identity. We are very good now. Although she can't have children because of her body, we are still very loving. I also treat her son as my own. With the Fourth Prince secretly taking care of me, my days are considered stable."
Ding Ning nodded thoughtfully and asked another baffling question, "Is he very outstanding?"
Mu Ren's body trembled, and panic flashed in his eyes. He forced a smile and said, "He is mediocre. He is just struggling at death's door."
Ding Ning stared at him for a long time without saying a word. His eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's minds through the sunglasses, made Mu Ren flustered, and the smile on his face almost stiffened. He felt that he had no secrets under his gaze, so he lowered his head in fear.
Ding Ning suddenly retracted his gaze and patted him on the shoulder. "As long as he is willing to listen, I guarantee that he will be the next Heaven Khan."
Mu Ren suddenly raised his head and looked at Ding Ning with a complicated gaze. There was a storm in his heart. Who was he? He could easily see through his thoughts with just a few clues. This intelligence and shrewdness were simply terrifying.
However, his heart was filled with ecstasy at this moment. So what if he knew? Since this mysterious and powerful man was willing to help him, then there was a high chance that his plan would succeed.
Thinking of this, Mu Ren's gaze became fanatical and devout. He raised his hands high and knelt on the ground, saying respectfully, "Mu Ren swears to the Longevity Heaven that if I can get what I want, Mu Ren's entire family will serve you as our master for the rest of our lives and will never betray you!"
Ding Ning knew that the Mongol people took oaths the most seriously, so he nodded with satisfaction. He looked around at the confused people and did not explain. He said lightly, "Get up and tell me about the twelve Khan Guards. The Seventh Lord will not die for the time being."
"Yes, my lord!"
Mu Ren got up and did not dare to ask more questions. He stood up respectfully and replied, "According to the Fourth Lord, the twelve Khan Guards grew up with the Khan of Heaven and have always been loyal to him. The Khan of Heaven trusted them even more than his own children. They were just forcing ordinary people to be braver. About a decade ago, the Khan of Heaven took a Khan Guard away from the main force in order to chase a reindeer. When they encountered an assassination attempt by the enemy, one of the Khan Guards showed extraordinary strength …"
"What realm do you mean by extraordinary?"
Ding Ning interrupted him and asked.
"Probably around the Concealing Energy Stage. After all, I heard it from the Fourth Lord and did not see it with my own eyes. I only made this judgment based on his indifferent look when he told it at that time. It may not be accurate, but even if there is some mistake, it should not be too far off."
Mu Ren answered affirmatively.
Ding Ning frowned. "Could it be that he deliberately hid his strength?"
"No, the situation was very critical at that time. There were many enemies trying to assassinate them. The Khan of Heaven was seriously injured that time, and there was no one around. There was no need for that Khan Guard to hide his strength."
Mu Ren said resolutely.
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "How did the Fourth Lord know that there was no one around?"
Seeing Mu Ren's strange expression, Ding Ning instantly understood and said, "Those assassins were sent by the Fourth Lord?"
"That's right. Those assassins were sent by the Fourth Prince to test whether the Khan of Heaven had any hidden forces. That was the best chance to kill the Khan of Heaven, but unfortunately, the Fourth Prince was too cautious and only sent some men of sacrifice to test the waters. He missed a great opportunity."
Mu Ren said with some regret.
"Continue!"
Ding Ning did not dwell on this issue. In Mu Ren's view, the battle of wits and courage between the Khan of Heaven and his sons was a great opportunity missed. But in his view, it might also be a flaw deliberately revealed by the Khan of Heaven. Once the Fourth Lord really launched the killing plan with all his strength, perhaps the grass on the Fourth Lord's grave would have grown tall at this moment.
"After that time, the Khan of Heaven investigated for a long time. The Fourth Lord did not dare to act rashly, so he secretly recruited masters and continued to accumulate strength, waiting for the next opportunity. Unfortunately, the Khan of Heaven might really be a person blessed by God. Other sons of concubines who were not direct descendants also made many assassinations, and even the army besieged them. In the end, all of them ended in failure. It was also during that time that more than a hundred children of the Khan of Heaven were directly killed, and even their Jun Wang Mansion was turned into ashes by the Khan of Heaven's anger. The other sons of concubines were frightened and did not dare to act rashly again."
Mu Ren had always wanted revenge, so he naturally carried out a very detailed investigation of the past experience of the Khan of Heaven.
At this moment, the detailed investigation was spoken in an orderly manner.
From his narration, Ding Ning learned that while the sons of concubines of lowly bloodline were given the title of Jun Wang by the Khan of Heaven, their treatment was worlds apart from that of the legitimate sons.
Although they were Jun Wang in name, in reality, they were given an area with fertile water and grass, and a hundred herdsmen who herded horses and sheep as citizens. It was equivalent to a very, very small tribe. Even his guards did not care about these Jun Wang Family. Deliberately finding trouble and even beating them happened from time to time, but the Khan of Heaven never favored them and was extremely cold and heartless to them.
As for the princesses and princesses, their treatment was similar to that of the princes and Jun Wang Family. The status of the princesses was slightly lower than that of the princes, but slightly higher than that of the Jun Wang Family. At least, other than the Khan of Heaven, no one dared to disrespect them.
The princesses were even worse off. Their status was lower than that of the Jun Wang Family. In the eyes of the Khan of Heaven, they were no different from servants. At any time, he would casually bestow them as gifts to his subordinates who had performed meritorious deeds as a method to win over people.
It would be fine if these subordinates treated these princesses well, but in reality, this was not the case. They were too deeply influenced by the Khan of Heaven and never saw these princesses as people. After they were tired of playing with them, they would exchange them to vent their bestial desires. When the Khan of Heaven found out, he never blamed them. Instead, when he was in a good mood, he would continue to bestow other princesses to them.
This was also why the Jun Wang Family frequently rebelled. After all, these princesses were their sisters. Seeing their sisters living in the abyss of suffering, they were naturally filled with anger.
Where there was oppression, there would be resistance. Not all of these princesses would submit to adversity and willingly accept the manipulation of fate. Therefore, behind the rebellions of the Jun Wang Family, there would never be a lack of princesses who had suffered humiliation and wanted to resist.
In addition, those Jun Wang Family and princesses did not have the right to marry members of the pure gold bloodline. Their treatment was only slightly better than that of the lowest servants. Other than having the title of Jun Wang Family, their lives were even more miserable than ordinary people.
In the eyes of the Khan of Heaven, they were private property such as chickens, ducks, pigs, and geese. He did not care how many of these children died. In any case, he had many women, and he could have as many as he wanted.
The Jun Wang Family and the Wang Family fought, the Jun Wang Family and the Khan Wang Family fought, the Khan Wang Family fought, the soldiers under his command and the Jun Wang Family fought, and the Wang Family fought …
In reality, the Huang Jin Family, which was famous in the outside world, was in chaos internally. Almost every day, there were disputes and crimes.
In this situation, everyone lived in torment. On the contrary, the Seventh Prince, who had left for Ninghai, was the object of everyone's envy. Unfortunately, the process of the Seventh Prince's departure could not be replicated. No one dared to try to leave that sinful land at the risk of having their heads cut off by the Khan himself.
The women's hearts softened and they all listened with indignation. The Khan's pursuit of the purity of the bloodline had reached an outrageous degree of paranoia. What he did was simply inhumane. The women were filled with righteous indignation and collectively condemned this damned pervert as deserving of a thousand deaths.
Ding Ning shook his head speechlessly, but his heart did not fluctuate much. After all, the Khan Wang Family, that pervert, could casually give his women to his subordinates, so it was not difficult to understand that he would give his impure daughters to his subordinates.
What he was more concerned about was why, in just ten years, the Khan Wang Family and his twelve Khan Guards could advance by leaps and bounds like inflated balloons and become martial arts gods. Did they have other fortuitous encounters, or did the person behind them have the ability to help them quickly improve their cultivation?
It should be known that although Ding Ning had the ability to help people improve their cultivation, it was an ability that he had obtained through various fortuitous encounters by chance and by devouring a large amount of life essence in King Huai's body as a reserve. In the entire Three Realms, he was probably the only one who could do this.
The skyrocketing cultivation of the Khan Wang Family and the twelve Khan Guards was worth pondering. If there was someone in this world who could go against common sense and quickly improve people's cultivation, then the only organization that Ding Ning could think of was probably the Descendants of God Organization.
Although he was not sure whether the Descendants of God had really developed a genetic drug that could quickly improve people's cultivation, the only organization that he could think of with this ability was this ancient and mysterious huge organization.
Scientific research, especially biological genetic research, inevitably required a large amount of resources and wealth as support. No matter how rich the Descendants of God Organization was, it was impossible to fill this bottomless pit.
Therefore, it was extremely logical for them to pay some genetic drugs in exchange for controlling an ambitious Khan Wang Family as a puppet to seize the mineral resources of Mongolia and provide a steady stream of funds for the organization's research.
Of course, all of this was just his speculation without any evidence. Perhaps it was not the Descendants of God Organization, but some other extremely secretive force that had done it was hard to say.
However, his intuition told him that the Khan Wang Family was most likely manipulated by the Descendants of God Organization behind the scenes. Only they had the time, energy, and strength to use the mineral resources of a country or other unknown countries as their cash cow to provide funds for scientific research.
Ding Ning had always wanted to find out where the Descendants of God Organization was and eradicate it, but unfortunately, he had never found any clues. If the Khan Wang Family was really a source of funds for the Descendants of God Organization, then this time it would be fun. If he cut off the source of funds for the Descendants of God Organization and took it for himself, he was not afraid that they would not show up and take the initiative to find him.
