Chapter 770: Chapter 223 Hey! There’s an Unexpected Gain! (Please Subscribe)_2

“Do you think this is very strange?”

The Great Tang Emperor, upon hearing this, revealed a trace of anger on his dignified face.

“What on earth is going on with these Sects and Clans?”

“How dare they attack my Great Tang Chang’an City?”

“Your Excellency need not worry about . Let them co!”

“I will make sure they co without the possibility of return!”

...

The Great Tang Emperor’s voice was extrely loud, thunderous in its finality.

He appeared very angry.

Cheng Guang watched the Great Tang Emperor’s performance and couldn’t help silently giving him a thumbs up in his mind, then said,

“Since the Great Zhou Imperial Family has not yet submitted, the Great Zhou Army has not yet attacked.”

“It is better to have one less thing to worry about; do you want to help you dispose of those Sects and Clans?”

“Anyone who dares to attack Great Tang Chang’an City cannot be spared.”

“After all, this is also my Great Tang Chang’an City.”

By the end, Cheng Guang had burst into laughter.

The anger on the Great Tang Emperor’s face suddenly paused, Cheng Guang laughed, but he could not.

The Great Tang Emperor coughed awkwardly, “With your status, Your Excellency, there is no need to bother with these worldly people.”

“We should be focusing on the grand reopening of the Great Dao and gathering the fortunes of the world.”

“Such trivial matters should be settled by myself, there’s no need to trouble Your Excellency.”

Cheng Guang observed the Great Tang Emperor’s expression.

No matter how well the Great Tang Emperor hid his feelings,

Yet, when Cheng Guang ntioned eliminating the Sects and Clans that controlled the Great Zhou Imperial Family, the Great Tang Emperor’s emotions still fluctuated.

If it weren’t for Cheng Guang’s keen senses and prior knowledge that most of the Sects and Clans controlling the Great Zhou Imperial Family were the Great Tang Emperor’s doing, he might have really been deceived by the Great Tang Emperor.

At this point, Cheng Guang had probably already figured out that the Great Tang Emperor likely intended to use the Great Zhou Army’s attack on the Great Tang Chang’an City to accomplish sothing.

What he wanted to do did not need guessing.

It was also related to Great Tang Chang’an City itself.

At this juncture, Cheng Guang still did not know what ans the Great Tang Emperor used to snatch Great Tang Chang’an City from his hands.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Guang still could not understand.

But it was unrealistic to ask the Great Tang Emperor directly at this mont.

If he did directly ask the Great Tang Emperor now,

The Great Tang Emperor, who was not foolish, would certainly guess that Cheng Guang already knew his intentions.

The Great Tang Emperor would rather die than admit it, and perhaps, he would even beco furious and attack Cheng Guang himself.

With neither Guangyin Buddha nor Cleansing Thought Buddha present, if Cheng Guang had a direct conflict with the Great Tang Emperor, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

Cheng Guang was not so foolish to that extent.

After a brief consideration,

He simply smiled.

“Since you want to resolve it yourself, then resolve it yourself. I won’t ddle any further.”

Hearing Cheng Guang say this, the Great Tang Emperor clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Really, Your Excellency.”

The Great Tang Emperor spoke, then seed to have a sudden realization and looked at Cheng Guang with a bit of suspicion.

“You didn’t co here just to tell that Great Tang Chang’an City is in danger, did you?”

“That’s hardly a danger at all.”

Cheng Guang shook his head and smiled, “Of course not.”

“I ca here because I want sothing from you.”

“I’ve changed my mind about our last deal, and I want the cultivation resources you possess.”

As Cheng Guang made this statent,

It seed exceedingly greedy and untrustworthy, yet the Great Tang Emperor believed it.

Because, in the Great Tang Emperor’s view, this was the reason for Cheng Guang’s visit.

Otherwise,

Without any personal gain,

Why would Cheng Guang, a figure shrouded in mystery, deign to co and seek him out?

Compared to the minor loss of his cultivation resources, the Great Tang Emperor was sowhat pleased that Cheng Guang hadn’t discovered his inner thoughts and the machinations behind his actions.

The Great Tang Emperor thought it might be because Cheng Guang, the unknown entity, had not yet realized that the person controlling the Great Zhou Imperial Family and leading the Great Zhou Army to attack Great Tang Chang’an City was actually him, pulling the strings from behind.

If we resolved that mystery,

For sure, there would be further complications.

Even though Cheng Guang, this unknown being, was not aware of the contingency plans of Great Tang Chang’an City, it did not prevent Cheng Guang from thinking on that level.

At this thought.

The Great Tang Emperor felt that he could no longer afford to delay.

Now that Cheng Guang had glimpsed a hint, a swift solution was necessary to avoid complications in the long run.

Otherwise.

If Cheng Guang discovered that it was he himself orchestrating everything from behind.

It would be too late.

The Great Tang Emperor, even feeling that his thods were sufficiently covert, knew that in this world, no one was a fool.

The Great Tang Emperor dared not gamble.

And could not gamble.

A flurry of thoughts swept through the Emperor’s mind, and with a pained and conflicted expression, he said, “Your Excellency, didn’t we just agree on this a few days ago? Why now…”

Although the Great Tang Emperor felt sowhat pleased that Cheng Guang had co rely for the cultivation resources in his possession,

He could not appear too happy.

Cheng Guang spoke impatiently, “Will you give them or not?”

“Do bear in mind the consequences if you don’t.”

Upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, the Great Tang Emperor’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily, feeling a surge of frustration, thinking once he regained complete control over Chang’an City, he would never again tolerate such pressure from Cheng Guang.

With Great Tang Chang’an City at his aid.

Even without knowing Cheng Guang’s true identity, the Emperor felt a renewed sense of confidence.

With that thought.

The Great Tang Emperor temporarily suppressed all his frustrations, showed a troubled face full of hesitation, and after pondering deeply, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

“Alright.”

“Your Excellency desires cultivation resources, I can provide them.”

“But after this ti, you can no longer use Great Tang Chang’an City to threaten .”

“Otherwise, I would rather die than let you push to the brink!”

The Great Tang Emperor declared this with poignant determination.

Cheng Guang appeared indifferent, sitting in his chair, he lifted his tea and took a gentle sip, showing a slight look of distaste as he said, “What’s with that expression?”

“Do you really see as so greedy?”

The Great Tang Emperor remained silent, though his breathing grew sohwat heavier.

He obviously thought of Cheng Guang in that way.

Cheng Guang was unconcerned, rely laughed and said, “Besides, I’m only asking for a small portion of your resources. Just leave so for yourself and hand over the rest to .”

The Great Tang Emperor’s eyes widened a bit.

His fists clenched subconsciously.

The Emperor realized that Cheng Guang had significant intentions for this visit, but he did not expect Cheng Guang to make such a brazen demand.

Leave so for himself and give the rest to him?

The Great Tang Emperor’s brow furrowed, this ti his concern was genuine.

Though Cheng Guang had said to leave so for him and then give the rest to Cheng Guang,

The question of how much to retain for himself.

Was not specified.

If Cheng Guang was unsatisfied with the amount at any point, would the Emperor have to give more or refuse?

After a mont of silence, the Great Tang Emperor decided it was best not to anger Cheng Guang further; after ntally weighing his options and setting aside a few resources of particular importance, he handed over the rest to Cheng Guang.

“Your Excellency, this is all I have on . If you intend to take everything, there’s no need for further discussion.”

The Great Tang Emperor gave all that he could offer to Cheng Guang in one go.

The rest, he would not concede, not even under threat of death.

This was the Great Tang Emperor’s last stake in the world, his final gamble for the sake of Great Tang.

If given to Cheng Guang.

Then even the Emperor felt there was no longer any point in living.

Cheng Guang didn’t really care about the Emperor’s resources; he was only acting to not make his visit appear too abrupt.

To convince the Great Tang Emperor that it wasn’t because the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to send troops to attack Chang’an City.

But at that mont.

Seeing the Emperor’s agonized deanor, Cheng Guang couldn’t help but feel a slight thrill.

“Heh!”

“An unexpected gain, indeed.”
