Chapter 598: Chapter 356: Petty Thieves, Overestimating Their Abilities!_2
“…”
Liu Wanzheng heard this and glanced at Chen Mu. He finally spoke for the first ti, his voice carrying the weight of age and decay, “Factional struggle has no right or wrong. I neither wish for the King of Jin to ddle with the Seven Profound Sect, nor do I want the Qin Family to pledge allegiance to the King of Jin.”
Chen Mu sighed lightly and said, “So that’s how it is. Then I wonder, Elder Liu, aside from the King of Jin, which other of the Eight Princes do you support? When my master t with trouble, Supre Yin should have conducted a thorough investigation, yet he never discovered any connection between the Liu Family and Central Prefecture.”
“Of course it wouldn’t be found, because there simply isn’t any.”
Yu Shouxuan looked at Chen Mu, his smile not reaching his eyes as he said, “Grandmaster Liu is, in fact, from over a hundred years ago, the offspring he left behind during his travels in the Outer Sea, who took on ‘Wan’ as their surna. Among this offspring, one descendant beca acquainted with the then young King Liang. She is now a concubine to King Liang, both mutual supports to each other, and is also one of the youngest top Grandmasters of our ti.”
Hearing Yu Shouxuan say this, Chen Mu’s doubts finally cleared, and everything made sense.
...
Liu Wanzheng leaving behind descendants in the Outer Sea might have gone unnoticed initially, but unexpectedly, among his descendants was born an individual of exceptional talent. Steadily rising to fa, she t the young King Liang, supported each other, and ascended to the title of King while she reached the Grandmaster Realm, surpassing her ancestor in skill.
With such descendants, it’s natural that Liu Wanzheng would support King Liang’s line over the Seven Profound Sect.
Liu Wanzheng perhaps had no intention of harming the Seven Profound Sect, but with the Qin Family close to the King of Jin and with hostility between the Eight Princes, he was reluctant to see Qin ngjun step into the Blood Exchange Realm and take command of the Seven Profound Sect while aligning with King Jin’s lineage. Therefore, it made sense that he would attack in secret—by his perspective, such actions would be guilt-free and would not affect his own moral path.
As for the mysterious Blood Exchange Realm individual, that must be soone Liu Wanzheng brought in, one of the supporters from Central Prefecture of King Liang’s cause. If this person deliberately concealed their identity, then it’s quite normal that the investigation revealed nothing.
“The situation in the Cold North is truly intricate. I thought the Eleven Northern States of the Cold North, being so remote, were rely embroiled in internal conflicts and warfare without imagining that even such a distant place would bear traces of the Imperial Court.”
Chen Mu slowly began to speak.
He had anticipated that the Cold North situation likely involved interference from the Imperial Court, but his suspicions had been directed only at major events like the North Garrison Governnt’s campaign, the moves of the Mysterious chanism Pavilion, and the warfare in Ice State, which always remained under the scrutiny of Central Prefecture.
But now it seed that even the six major families of the State Governnt Office, as well as powers like the Qin and Liu Families, all had various entanglents with Central Prefecture. Considering this, perhaps behind the Mysterious chanism Pavilion lay the hands of one of the Eight Princes other than ‘Jin’ and ‘Liang.’ The truly independent forces of the entire Cold North were probably very few.
“Under the heavens, all land belongs to the king; by the shores of the earth, everyone is a subject to the throne.”
Yu Shouxuan let out a thin laugh, his dead fish eyes fixating on Chen Mu, “You must not think that the chaos in the world is due to the incompetence of the Imperial Court. In reality, both an era of chaos and an era of peace exist at the whim of the Imperial Court. Those like Yuan Hong, who take advantage of tumultuous tis to attempt to carve out their own reigns, are nothing but overconfident fools in the face of mighty imperial authority.”
“Peak Master Chen has formidable skills, ranking within the top three of the Cold North Wind Cloud List. Given ti, if you comprehend the Qiankun Domain, you would stand shoulder to shoulder with the top Grandmasters on the worldwide list. If you are willing to serve King Liang, provided he ascends the throne and stabilizes the world, you could be granted the title of Marquis and be rembered for generations,” Yu Shouxuan said, the corners of his mouth lifting into a slight curve.
Chen Mu listened and finally showed a hint of indifference on his consistently calm face and coldly sneered, “Ascend the throne? He is not worthy!”
rely out of fear of Qin ngjun’s talent and unwilling to see an alliance ford between the Qin Family and the King of Jin lineage, they colluded with Liu Wanzheng’s vicious sches to attack Qin ngjun, who was then rely a Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster. With such despicable thods, do they truly aspire to ascend to the throne?
“What kind of person was my master? Even though he was beset by the petty sches of people like you, he still managed to break through and reach the ultimate heights of Martial Arts. You insignificant wretches, peddling these treacherous and vile strategies that can’t even be brought to light, dare talk about having your nas passed down through the ages.”
Chen Mu’s gaze swept over Yu Shouxuan and the others, filled with cold laughter.
Yu Shouxuan, hearing this, his face suddenly turned dark, and he coldly said, “Qin ngjun indeed possesses an extraordinary gift, but you too are not qualified to shout in front of our family. It would be a different matter if your master himself ca, but you’re just a brash young man who doesn’t recognize his own limits!”
Boom!
As the words fell.
A sound of Wasteland shattering ca from behind Chen Mu.
Chen Mu coldly glanced over his shoulder to see a figure appear thirty feet behind him, bursting forth from the ground, effectively blocking his retreat.
At the sa ti, the body of the person standing at Yu Shouxuan’s side suddenly collapsed into a mound of dirt, revealing that it had been nothing but a decoy, with the real body having long since slipped behind Chen Mu under Yu Shouxuan’s deliberate cover!
With Chen Mu’s escape route sealed, the forrly concealed cold nace of the crowd was now bare.
Yu Shouxuan looked at Chen Mu, slowly stepping forward with a skin-deep smile, saying, “The secrets of the Imperial Court are not so easily heard. Since you’ve heard what you shouldn’t have, it looks like you will have to leave your life behind… What do you think, Grandmaster Liu?”
“Perfectly fine.”
Liu Wanzheng stood behind Yu Shouxuan, indifferently looking at Chen Mu.
He actually bore no grudge against Chen Mu, who was seen as a rare prodigy of the Cold North with the potential to rejuvenate the Seven Profound Sect, but after all, he was a man of King Liang’s lineage, and Chen Mu was Qin ngjun’s disciple. Even if he did not support the King of Jin, he would stand on Qin ngjun’s side. Besides, having heard so many secrets, he could not possibly let Chen Mu leave.
