Chapter 1317: Chapter 609: Prince An’s Secret Plot Chapter 1317: Chapter 609: Prince An’s Secret Plot For An Yuanxi and Wang Chang, those deceased followers were not rely subordinates but trusted retainers who had grown along with them.
Such blood feud, if not avenged personally, would diminish their reputation trendously.
However, given their physical condition, they could only recuperate in the Flower dicine Palace, which was admittedly a tornt.
“Qionghua Star Lord has issued a Recruitnt Order to all under the heavens, did Feather God see it?”
During his convalescence, Wang Chang found An Yuanxi and brought him Qionghua’s Recruitnt Order.
“It seems Qionghua Star Lord wants to remind that King Realm does not harbor the useless.”
Crumpling the Recruitnt Order in his hand, An Yuanxi’s eyes flashed with anger.
As the newly appointed envoy of the Wind Departnt, he had initially wanted to utilize Dutian Heavenly King’s intelligence system to solidify his path forward but had not anticipated a massive upheaval.
He barely ward his seat when Dutian Heavenly King’s combat sequence was annihilated; as an envoy of the Wind Departnt, not only did he lose all his assets, but his allies were also completely wiped out.
Even as he healed, he could hear the criticisms within the Divine Court. After all, compared to the brilliance of diverse directions, people were more inclined to witness the spectacle of falling stars. The An Family never lacked geniuses—there were many who envied An Yuanxi!
After Qionghua Star Lord took over from Dutian Heavenly King, he didn’t consider either of them for the Heavenly Envoys but directly appointed the old guards of Longzhou with the issuance of the new Recruitnt Order; the implication was quite clear.
As a pillar of the Divine Court, Qionghua Star Lord naturally had his trusted subordinate officers. Preferring them over these two defeated remnants, such opportunity was beyond An Yuanxi’s wildest dreams!
The recruitnt seed to only have vacancies in the Mountain and Fire Departnts, but wasn’t it also a pressure tactic against them to relinquish their authority?
Silence was rely their hope of recognizing the circumstances and willingly handing over power for a harmonious transition of old and new.
But An Yuanxi was not resigned. If Wang Chang, who had followed Cao Jinyu for a century, still had so hidden reserves, An Yuanxi had truly bet everything in a single battle and squandered all of the Wind Departnt’s authority, effectively losing everything he had built over the years.
If he were unhard, he still could have managed so maneuvering, but his injuries were too severe; he wouldn’t risk his position as a Heavenly Envoy, let alone his health, only to incur an irreversible dark ailnt, dimming his future.
Once the importance of matters was discerned, certain sacrifices, albeit reluctantly, had to be made.
Yet, Wang Chang’s visit at this ti had a particular intention that ignited a sinister fire in An Yuanxi’s heart.
Compared to An Yuanxi, Wang Chang was in a significantly better position. Although the Heavenly Patrol Boat of the Forest Departnt was sunk, most of its elite forces were preserved.
With various backups left by Wang Chang, reassembling the combat sequence of the Forest Departnt would not be difficult. Considering his stance at the threshold of grandmasters after the battle, was he here to mock An Yuanxi?
“The Wang Family will remain neutral in this battle, thus Wang Chang will soon relinquish his responsibilities as the Heavenly Envoy of the Forest Departnt to Qionghua Star Lord and return to Southern Tianan.”
Seemingly discerning the anger in An Yuanxi’s eyes, Wang Chang quickly dispelled his doubts, “One Recruitnt Order has wasted a century’s accumulation. This ti, I have truly suffered greatly!”
The Wang Family held significant control in Southern Tianan Continent, but Wang Chang’s resources were all in Zhongzhou. If he relinquished his envoy position and returned to Tianan, it ant cutting off all those lines.
But what does this have to do with ? With his anger dissipating, An Yuanxi puzzled over what Wang Chang ant by his visit, “At this parting, I hope Feather God might assist with a favor!”
Although the two had little interaction, they were both exceptionally recruited by Cao Jinyu as envoys. This relationship was initially superficial, but it had gained so different significance after Cao Jinyu sacrificed his soul in the battle.
So even though he was not in a good condition at that mont, An Yuanxi did not refuse but responded, “Please speak, Heavenly Patrol Envoy. As long as I can help, Yuan Xi will not shirk.”
“This is truly wonderful.” Wang Chang said with a smile, “Over the years serving in the Heavenly Patrol, I have gathered quite a few undercover agents, so are hermits embedded deep within powerful clans, so are spies from undercover families, others are bandits who wish to turn over a new leaf, and there are also many powerful loners. All these people are rooted in Zhongzhou, and I cannot bear to see them adrift in Southern Tianan, so I wonder if I might entrust them to Feather God?”
This was not asking for help; this was charity!
An Yuanxi was taken aback. As the head of the Wind Departnt, he often heard his subordinates say that although the Mountain Departnt was the strongest among the four departnts, this was only because it had the advantage of the Divine Court. The real depth was, in fact, in the Forest Departnt.
Just by what Wang Chang had just ntioned, all those combined could almost be enough to rebuild the battle sequence of the Wind Departnt.
He did not think that Wang Chang entrusted them to him because he lacked the ability to take them away.
“Does Saint Child have so thoughts on this great war?”
Eating from soone’s hand softens the speech, accepting such an imnse favor had changed even his form of address.
Feeling the change, Wang Chang smiled, “Xiehe has never been about fighting alone; everyone needs infinitely potential allies. I just don’t know if Feather God might consider Wang’s modest cultivation worthy!”
“In the na of Saint An, I swear that from today, An Yuanxi shall form an alliance with Saint Child; should I violate this oath, may my Dao Heart be clouded and the King’s Way collapse!”
An Yuanxi raised three fingers to the sky, swearing the oath with utmost sincerity.
If the oaths of the An Family could be believed, there would not be the disaster of today.
Muttering critiques silently, Wang Chang’s face genuinely moved, and he too raised three fingers to the sky to make a vow.
In the modest Flower dicine Palace, two warriors defeated in the battle of Yinghuo yet whose futures were incredibly bright ford an alliance.
“Brother An, this recruitnt by Heavenly Patrol is to gather the vanguard, and the battle situation is chaotic; it is not advisable to forge ahead imdiately.”
After establishing the alliance, Wang Chang could finally state his true intention, “The Han Family, though dormant for a thousand years, surely has no chance against the Three Realms Holy Land, but they have at least one Saint King level powerhouse whose strength closely follows that of Saint Han; bringing them down will not be easy.”
“What does brother an?”
“No matter when this great war starts, the Three Realms Holy Land cannot possibly fail, but how to seize the greatest benefits requires careful planning.”
Wang Chang said earnestly, “Given the current situation, Zhongzhou, Southern Tianan, and Longzhou might all be possible battlefields, so there are so things we should prepare for in advance!”
“So, Brother Wang ans to entrust these Zhongzhou agents to because?”
“Exactly, I will ask Brother An to keep a close watch on the territory of Zhongzhou, while I will take care of Southern Tianan. Just wait for the war to begin, and we can rise swiftly, our reputation and power becoming unstoppable!”
“What if it’s in Longzhou?”
“That would be of utmost importance!”
Wang Chang leaned forward, whispering the plan he had long conceived into An Yuanxi’s ear.
