Hearing this, everyone came to the table and sat down in order.
"Wu Huan, tell us about the situation in Heavenly Tripod City." Lin Xuan looked at Wu Huan.
"Yes, my lord."
Wu Huan accepted the order and said frankly, "Currently, the person with the highest status in Heavenly Tripod City is the Qin King, Yu Guangzhao, his son, Yu Qingyun, and the princess, Yu Qingshi. They are all members of the royal family and are the direct descendants of Qian Wu Great Emperor.
However, the person with the most authority is the Heavenly Tripod Army's General, Yang Wanfeng.
Heavenly Tripod City may seem peaceful now, but it's actually very chaotic.
Close to a hundred remnant soldiers from the lost cities are gathered in Heavenly Tripod City. They are attached to the various major forces and occupy their own mountains. They only listen to orders but not orders. The imperial court's orders are like pieces of scrap paper.
If it wasn't for the suppression of the Heavenly Tripod Army, these chaotic soldiers would have already turned Heavenly Tripod City into ruins.
However, the remnant soldiers are extremely large in number. Most of them are the elites of the various armies. Even the Heavenly Tripod Army couldn't completely subdue them. Coupled with the restraints of the various major forces, Heavenly Tripod City is actually in a state of disunity.
Currently, not only are the elite disciples of the various sects gathered in Heavenly Tripod City, but there are also many disciples of aristocratic families with strong backgrounds. All of them are here to fight for merits, obtain titles of nobility, and the Human Emperor's inheritance.
Now that the war with the foreign tribes has not officially started, they are all busy trying to rope in the remnant soldiers, hoping to have the right to speak in the future war.
It's said that the stronger the force under one's command, the more merits one can obtain when fighting against the foreign tribes.
Because of this, the competition is very intense. Countless battles happen every day. Fortunately, these battles happen in the Weapons Mountain, so Heavenly Tripod City is relatively safe. "
"Weapons Mountain? What's that? "Lin Xuan was stunned.
Wu Huan said, "The Weapons Mountain is a small mountain in the north district of Heavenly Tripod City. There's a secret realm at the top of the mountain that's used to accommodate the garrison. There are too many remnant soldiers in the various cities, and there is no space for all of them in the cities. Hence, they can only move into the Weapons Mountain's secret realm. The imperial court will provide the soldiers with a uniform amount of provisions. This will also make it easier for Heavenly Cauldron City to maintain law and order. "
Dun Fei pondered for a moment before saying, "From the looks of it, if the Snow Leopard Army appears, it will definitely attract the covetous eyes of other powers. If it's a disciple of a sect, then it's fine, but if it's a disciple of an aristocratic family that controls the Imperial Court, then it won't be easy to deal with. We have to plan ahead."
Lin Xuan smiled playfully. "Isn't that even better? We can choose someone with a strong background to rely on and use the resources of the imperial court to raise our own soldiers. This can save us a lot of expenses. "
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they gradually understood what Lin Xuan meant. They couldn't help but smile in relief.
That's right, with Lin Xuan's methods, controlling an aristocratic family's disciple as a puppet would be a piece of cake.
The only thing he didn't know was which idiot would jump into this pit.
Just as Lin Xuan and the others were discussing, in a room above the cultivation room, a group of people were also discussing something important. Something important to deal with Lin Xuan.
This was a luxuriously decorated cultivation room. It was dazzling, just like an emperor's palace.
More than a dozen Divine Astral Realm experts who stayed behind to guard the Hundred Swords Sect were gathered together. They all looked respectfully at a young man sitting at the top.
This young man was the young master of the Hundred Swords Sect. His name was Cao Tianying, and he was the eldest grandson of the Hundred Swords Sect Master. He was also the next Sect Master of the Hundred Swords Sect.
Now that the Human Emperor's Tablet had appeared, the Heavenly Transformation Realm experts of the Hundred Swords Sect had left the Northern Wilderness three months ago. They had gone to the Central Plains to lie low for a while. They wouldn't be back for ten years.
Without the suppression of the Heavenly Transformation Realm experts, Cao Tianying, a late-stage Divine Astral Realm expert, had become the top expert of the Hundred Swords Sect.
He had already firmly grasped the power of the sect in his hands, and was now the one hundred and twenty in the Hundred Swords Sect.
Cao Tianying played with a Treasure Artifact thumb ring as the corners of her lips curled into a deep smile. She said indifferently, "According to the report from our subordinates, Lin Xuan is staying in the cultivation room rented by our Hundred Swords Sect. What do you guys think?"
"What? Lin Xuan actually dares to appear in Heavenly Tripod City so openly? "
A red-haired middle-stage Divine Astral Realm elder couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Another elder frowned. "I heard that Lin Xuan has some tricks up his sleeve. He didn't suffer a loss even when fighting with the Saints of the Keelung Sect. It's clear that he has some unique abilities and can't be underestimated!"
The red-haired elder sneered disdainfully. "He's just a late-stage True Energy Realm ant. He might have some luck, but there's nothing to be afraid of! I heard that the reason he was able to escape the pursuit of the Keelung Sect and the Dragon Soul Hall and survive until now was because of the betrayal of two Keelung Sect's Saints and a few genius disciples. "
A beautiful middle-aged woman's eyes flashed as she looked at Cao Tianying. "Young Master, Lin Xuan isn't alone. He has three Divine Astral Realm experts and a group of True Energy Realm martial artists with him. His cultivation isn't outstanding. Young Master, do you have any thoughts on this person? "
Instantly, everyone looked at Cao Tianying, waiting for him to express his opinion.
Cao Tianying smiled faintly as he looked down at the ring in his hand. He said in an ethereal voice, "Last year when I was exploring the Spiritual Ruins, my natal weapon was tainted by snake venom and its power was greatly reduced. I'm afraid it will take more than five years to recover. Recently, I plan to find a blacksmith master to refine a supreme-grade Dark Weapon and refine it as my natal weapon.
However, there are only a handful of blacksmiths in the entire Daqian dynasty who can refine supreme-grade Dark Weapons. Moreover, the price to refine supreme-grade Dark Weapons is too high, so those blacksmiths won't do it easily.
Coincidentally, there's one in the Keelung Sect.
Lin Xuan, he is the best stepping stone that the heavens have bestowed upon me! "
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, but no one objected.
That was because those who dared to oppose Cao Tianying had already gone to work in the mines.
An elder hesitated and said, "Young Master, rumor has it that Lin Xuan's luck is so abundant that it's rarely seen since ancient times. To deal with a prodigy like him, we have to make a thorough plan and take him down with a thunderous force. If he escapes, there will be endless trouble in the future."
"That's right. To deal with a prodigy like him, we have to take advantage of the time, place, and people when his luck is low and take him down in one fell swoop!"
"Lin Xuan is currently being hunted down by two major forces. This is the right time! He's in our Hundred Swords Sect, which is the geographical advantage! Our Hundred Swords Sect is far more powerful than him. This is the right time! I feel that it's better to take action as soon as possible so that other forces don't beat us to it! "
"…"
Just as everyone was discussing, an ordinary disciple walked in and said respectfully to Cao Tianying, "Young Master, Lin Xuan has left the cultivation room. He seems to be leaving the city!"
"Hmm?"
Cao Tianying's eyes flickered and he sneered. "Could it be that this brat sensed something? It's good that he's leaving the city. It's more convenient to take action outside the city. "
