Sunflower Ancestor understood immediately, happily accepted the order, and hurriedly left, fearing that if he was a step too late, another country would beat him to it.
However, they were unaware of it—
At this moment, Qin Shi Huang, Genghis Khan, Empress Wu Zetian, and others all focused their attention on the Longevity Pill, having no time to spare for anything else.
The Sui, Han, and Ming dynasties were preoccupied with their own problems and had no time to plan this matter.
As for the Qing Dynasty, although they had sent people to recruit them, they were ultimately a step too late...
However, compared to other dynasties, its foundation was ultimately far too weak.
A sense of unease arose in Kangxi's heart.
Inside the Sui Dynasty Imperial Palace.
Faced with the extraordinary phenomenon of the Heavenly Ranking, Yang Guang merely glanced at it and then looked away.
Such indifferent attitude is not hard to understand.
At this time, the Sui Dynasty was in a period of great upheaval.
Amidst turbulent undercurrents in the imperial court, he must concentrate fully on dealing with this game that concerns the fate of the nation.
"Your Majesty, the scions of the four powerful clans, along with members of both the righteous and evil factions of the martial arts world, have gathered in Chang'an."
A guard rushed into the hall and reported: "The major powers of the Nine Provinces and the delegations from the Eight Dynasties are also on their way and are expected to arrive within five days."
Yang Guang lightly tapped the armrest of the dragon throne with his knuckles: "Five days..."
The air inside the hall suddenly froze, as if in the calm before a storm.
In the blink of an eye, that chilling aura vanished without a trace.
The young emperor's lips curled slightly, and a chilling glint appeared in his eyes.
062-Ximen Yu's move!
Deep within the city of government offices, Gao Jianli stared at the dissipating phantom of the golden list.
"Donghuang Taiyi was actually Ying Zheng's spy!" He gripped the hilt of the Water Cold Sword tightly, cold sweat beading on his back: "If it weren't for the divine revelation, the Mohist school would have faced annihilation."
The pearl hairpin at Xue Nu's temple trembled slightly: "The more the tyrant resorts to such treacherous means, the more it proves his fear of the anti-Qin forces."
Yan Dan sneered, his eyes filled with contempt: "A dignified emperor, yet he dares not uphold the great principles; he has utterly disgraced the Qin Dynasty!"
His words were chillingly cold, as if his gaze could turn into a sharp blade and slowly kill Ying Zheng.
Gao Jianli said solemnly, "Your Excellency's words are inappropriate. While an emperor must certainly maintain his dignity, the strategic planning behind the scenes is crucial to the stability of the nation."
"It can not only solve difficult problems for both the government and the people, but also deter internal and external forces—who can guarantee that the exposed mole is the only one?"
"It is precisely because the unknown is most frightening that the ministers of the six states dared not act rashly. We should be even more cautious and vigilant in this regard."
He gripped the Water Cold Sword tightly, his eyes burning with hatred, yet he maintained a clear understanding of the situation.
Yan Dan frowned slightly, then nodded in silence.
......
Inside an inn in the Qin Dynasty.
Fu Nian and Yan Lu stared at the Heavenly Dao Golden List, their pupils suddenly contracting, and the bamboo slips slipped from their fingers.
"Do you still think that the Qin Emperor is the way you imagined him?" Xunzi stroked his beard and smiled, looking at his two nephews as if he had expected this.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Uncle-Master, you are right. We were indeed ignorant and narrow-minded." Their voices were filled with undisguised shame.
Who would have thought that the leader of the Yin-Yang School, feared by all the other schools of thought, was actually the brilliant and talented Gan Luo?
If the Heavenly Ranking hadn't revealed the truth, they would never have imagined it!
Even now, it still feels unbelievable!
"As long as you know."
"Remember this: any emperor, unless he is a puppet!"
"Otherwise, if one could ascend to a high position through their own means, it would never be as simple as it appears on the surface!"
Those who underestimated them have already paid a heavy price!
Xunzi nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Fu Nian and Yan Lu listened and agreed wholeheartedly, responding respectfully.
Seeing this, Xunzi said no more.
The gentle smile on his face suddenly turned into a sharp killing intent.
"Alright, another fool has come knocking on our door."
"Let's finish this quickly, don't delay the journey, and don't keep His Majesty waiting!"
Fu Nian and Yan Lu's expressions tightened, and they immediately sensed something was amiss.
His gaze shifted to the window, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Qinglong Peak, Qinglong Manor.
"Heh... Interesting."
Ximen Yu chuckled lightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Despite the Azure Dragon Society's extensive intelligence network, he was indeed unaware that Donghuang Taiyi was Gan Luo, the former prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty.
However, it was just a fleeting accident.
Except for the one province that has not yet submitted, the entire land of Kyushu is already under his control!
Even if there were hundreds or thousands of Donghuang Taiyi, they would be like ants trying to shake a tree, all in vain!
As I was deep in thought, an elderly man in a blue robe walked slowly towards me, holding a pipe in his hand, his hair white.
Beside him was a young woman with a long, black braid that cascaded down her shoulders, her bright eyes shining like stars.
Upon closer inspection, her appearance bears a striking resemblance to Baoqin (Zhao Min).
At this moment, she gazed at Ximen Yu's back, her eyes filled with reverence and admiration.
"Sun Baifa, the head of the Sanyue Hall, pays respects to the Great Dragon Head."
Sun Baifa stopped and bowed in respect.
Ximen Yu turned around and gave him a brief, indifferent glance.
Sun Baifa dared not look directly at him, and quietly lowered his head to avoid his deep gaze.
After carefully considering his words, he humbly reported in a low voice.
"Reporting to the Great Dragon Head, Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, has joined forces with eight of the Ten Great Generals and has taken control of nearly 80% of the imperial army."
"If nothing unexpected happens, they will surely launch an attack on Emperor Zhu Houzhao within half a month."
"Undercurrents were surging within Chang'an, the capital of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui remained inactive, seemingly harboring a deep scheme."
"According to reports from spies, the Qin Emperor, the Yuan Emperor, and the Tang Emperor have all secretly dispatched elite troops to infiltrate Chang'an."
Ximen Yu sipped his tea calmly, as if he had everything under control.
After a moment's hesitation, he calmly gave the order.
"Send a message to the Crown Prince of Xingxian and the Crown Prince of Taiping, ordering them to seize an opportunity to enter the capital and protect the emperor."
"As for the Sui Dynasty, send someone to get rid of Yang Guang and make sure to cause internal strife within its borders."
"The affairs of the Han Dynasty need to be accelerated to resolve the conflict between Dong Zhuo and Liu Xie."
"Also, cause some trouble for the Shaolin Temple of the Song Dynasty, so they won't have any peace and quiet."
063 - Kyushu Power Ceiling Ranking - 7th Place!
Upon hearing this, Sun Baifa's pupils contracted slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Although the Azure Dragon Society's power is comparable to that of the Eight Great Dynasties, it would be too presumptuous for even a powerful dynasty like the Great Qin to attack four dynasties at the same time.
If this news spreads throughout the land, it will surely cause an uproar!
What he didn't know was that Ximen Yu had his own considerations.
Regardless of the outcome of the internal strife within the Ming Dynasty, as long as the imperial family's resources remained intact, the foundation of the dynasty could not be shaken.
Even if the Azure Dragon Society could seize the opportunity to destroy the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult to take over this chaotic situation.
The fragmentation of the country by warlords and the rise of numerous heroes were not what he desired.
Long ago, he had already made meticulous plans for the Ming Dynasty.
Once the time is right, we can completely control the Ming Dynasty at minimal cost!
Why go through all that trouble?
As for the Sui and Han dynasties.
It's not that he didn't want to use the same methods.
This is because these two dynasties were already in dire straits and their problems were too deep to be reversed.
The chaos has become uncontrollable.
The best way out is to destroy and then build!
He preferred to first create internal chaos within the organization.
After the problems of the Sui, Han, and Ming dynasties are resolved.
Then we can take our time and work things out gradually!
Sun Xiaohong listened to the entire conversation.
Far from being afraid.
Instead, he admired Ximen Yu even more.
Over the years, she has followed Sun Baifa around telling stories.
What I heard most often was the legend of the Green Dragon Society's chief leader, as told by my grandfather.
Now I see it with my own eyes.
Ximen Yu was not only exceptionally handsome.
With a few words and a laugh, he could decide the rise and fall of dynasties and the life and death of all people.
It made her even more intoxicated!
If it weren't for the first meeting, coupled with the girl's reserved nature...
She couldn't wait to offer herself up as a bedmate!
"What? Is there a problem?"
Seeing that Sun Baifa remained silent for a long time.
Ximen Yu frowned slightly.
"No...no! Your subordinate will definitely complete the mission!"
Sun Baifa suddenly came to his senses and shook his head repeatedly.
His tone involuntarily carried a hint of awe.
Ximen Yu nodded slightly.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Sun Baifa was methodically relaying Ximen Yu's orders...
Chapter 31 The Way of Heaven
The Heavenly Path Golden List shone brightly.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people in Kyushu.
Lines of text slowly emerged.
