"The heavens have perished, the Southern Heavens shall rise, the God King descends to the world, to conquer the world."
"When one person attains enlightennt, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, divine and heavenly unity, clearly expressed in the mortal realm."
"Beneath the empty heavens, only the Divine Palace remains, commanding the world, who dares disobey?"
"..."
In just a few days, the Southern Heavenly Kingdom almost turned into a major ancient relic site, with various ancient stone tablets erging one after another.
At one ti, it was the reincarnation of the God King, at another ti, it was the divine representative, each more bizarre than the last.
"When one person attains enlightennt, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven... chickens and dogs ascend to heaven..." The Ji Family representative in the Southern Heavenly Kingdom looked at the words on the tablet, so enraged that his mouth was crooked: "You're the chicken, your whole family is chickens."
It was clearly insinuating about the Ji Family Celestial King entering the Celestial Secret Realm.
"Xiu Jie Ming, that bastard, I want him dead." Many people, after seeing the inscriptions on the various stone tablets, were gnashing their teeth, wishing they could flay Xiu Jie Ming alive.
Many others were also angry in their hearts, silently cursing Xiu Jie Ming for being too foolish.
If you want to cause trouble, just cause trouble, targeting Chen Guan is fine, targeting one person is clever, but targeting so many people, that's just foolish.
Of course, so people suspected whether these recently appeared stone tablets were indeed the work of Xiu Jie Ming, or if it was possibly Chen Guan's doing, aiming to muddy the waters.
The problem was that the material of these stone tablets was extrely special; even after the Ten Great Families studied it, they couldn't determine what kind of stone it was.
So even suspected these stones ca from beyond the heavens and were not products of the Divine Land's Secret Realm.
Where would Chen Guan get such rare materials in such a short period?
Even if he could obtain them, where would the traces of age on the stone tablets co from?
Only soone who possessed the ti-related Secret Law of the Great Cave Heaven could achieve such a feat, but there was no such person within the Grotto Heaven.
Xiu Jie Ming could ask for help from Xiu Family experts, but where could Chen Guan find soone to help him make forgeries?
Thus, although there were suspicions, after considering the plausible reasoning, people felt it was unlikely to be Chen Guan's doing.
These stone tablets, at a glance, were clearly from the sa place, even the inscriptions were clearly from the sa hand.
Hence, the waters in the Southern Heavenly Kingdom were thoroughly muddied.
This was indeed the handiwork of Chen Guan, but he didn't need to gather any stone materials, he just needed to use Empty Leaf to create them out of thin air.
The Primordial Energy consud in creating these stone tablets would be a deadly amount for an average person, instantly draining their body.
But for Chen Guan, it was nothing.
If the success rate of Empty Leaf was better, he could have made even more.
He didn't aim at all the Ten Great Families, only choosing a few to target.
Such as the Gong Family, the Ji Family, the Shang Family, and so on, while the other families were delightfully watching the chaos unfold.
Chen Guan had finally managed to bluff his way through this situation; at least temporarily, the Ten Great Families wouldn't act against him until this battle was over.
But was it over just like that? Of course not, Chen Guan wasn't one to take losses silently.
Responding in kind is only courteous; if Xiu Jie Ming hit him with a smooth combo, Chen Guan had to return the favor.
However, unlike Xiu Jie Ming, Chen Guan couldn't pre-plant surprises within the Celestial Court Army, he could only tackle the Southern Heavenly Kingdom's internal spies.
"First, let's identify the Celestial Court Army spies within the Southern Heavenly Kingdom." Chen Guan decided to devise a strategy to root out the spies.
Previously not capturing them was because even if caught, it was impossible to explain clearly.
Now catching them wasn't for explanations.
"How can I bring them all out?" Chen Guan wasn't skilled in manipulating hearts with Secret Skills and Techniques.
"Bu Changning should be capable of this, but I don't know where he is right now, and dealing with him would be troubleso." Chen Guan thought again: "Qing Ya should also be adept at this; how can I find her?"
For a mont, he didn't know where to look for Qing Ya, besides, he had previously foiled Qing Ya's plans, and didn't know if she would be willing to help him.
"There is no one here with such capabilities, I'll have to find another way." Chen Guan mused inwardly.
Fortunately, being from the Celestial Court Army, he was well-acquainted with its mbers.
Celestial Court Army spies, too, are rigorously selected and trained.
In their hearts, they are still part of the Celestial Court Army, deeply identifying with their identity.
"Seems like this is the only way." Chen Guan called Huang Tianming and had him convene a mobilization eting.
All the family mbers were puzzled, wondering what use a mobilization eting would serve at this ti; did Chen Guan plan to launch a direct assault on the Celestial Court Army?
The Celestial Court Army has twenty-four corps, totaling over a million troops, with the Red Blood Corps being just one of them, already filled with experts.
Combined with Xiu Jie Ming's capabilities and standards, the chances of winning by launching an assault were slim to none.
Previously, Qin Qiu also supported Chen Guan in favoring defense, knowing that if a battle occurred outside the city, the Southern Heavenly Kingdom wouldn't even have a ten percent chance of victory.
"Guarding the city and not going out to fight, why hold a mobilization eting?" Ji Mingyue was very displeased at the ti.
Without the Celestial King, Ji Family's situation grew increasingly dire over the past two years.
Originally not wanting to be involved in these troubleso affairs, they were nonetheless coerced into it.
Now, not only slandered but also subjected to Chen Guan's jurisdiction, being tossed around was genuinely irkso.
However, she only dared to voice these grievances privately, never in front of Chen Guan.
Chen Guan's act of slaying Sima Jiannan had an imdiate effect, and it let people know that the Jiang Family sided with Chen Guan.
Furthermore, Qin Family and Zhang Family seed to have unusual and ambiguous relations with Chen Guan.
"The State Preceptor truly toils tirelessly." After eting Chen Guan, Ji Mingyue changed her deanor, gently smiling.
"Miss Ji, please rest to the side first; the mobilization eting will start shortly." Chen Guan rely replied indifferently, inviting Ji Mingyue to sit on the stage.
Ji Mingyue pursed her lips and went to sit on the stage.
Soon, the core figures from the Ten Great Families attending this ti sat in the front row of the stage, and the rows behind filled up as well.
Once most people had arrived, Chen Guan signaled Huang Tianming to begin.
Tens of thousands of soldiers, under the overall command of Huangpu Yan, marched in formation to the plaza, awaiting Chen Guan's address.
Given the plaza in the Southern Heavenly Kingdom could only accommodate this many people at once, the formation only assembled eight thousand at a ti.
If possible, Chen Guan would have liked to bring all three hundred thousand soldiers over to spare himself the trouble.
