Chapter 604: More than Halfway Through the Plan!_1

Li Zanghong’s face was filled with panic, he had not expected that Yin Tian’s expertise in dealing with Heretic Feng Shui Masters had reached such a degree.

Yin Tian smiled at Li Zanghong, looking at the weakened man, "How about it? Do you have anything you want to say to me now?"

"Originally, Li Laoba did indeed say quite a bit, but you should know even more, right?"

Li Zanghong stared hard at Yin Tian, wearing an expression as if he was resigned to death.

With a click, Yin Tian pushed Li Zanghong’s jaw back into place.

"You... just who are you!!"

Li Zanghong shouted angrily.

Yin Tian let out a cold laugh, looking at Li Zanghong, "Who I am is not important. What is important is what secrets you are willing to exchange for your life."

Li Zanghong shuddered.

Looking at the smiling Yin Tian before him, he knew that this man was truly capable of anything!

"I... I..."

Li Zanghong opened his mouth but then hesitated, unsure of what to say.

With a smiling gaze, Yin Tian said, "How about this, I will start, and you just answer my questions."

Li Zanghong, his face ashen, nodded.

"What exactly is the goal of you Heretic Feng Shui Masters?"

Yin Tian asked aloud.

"What... what goal?"

Li Zanghong attempted to feign ignorance, but Yin Tian saw right through him, "Pretending? Still playing games with me?"

"As one of the minor leaders of the Heretic Feng Shui Masters, you wouldn’t be unaware, would you?"

Hearing Yin Tian’s words, Li Zanghong swallowed nervously, "The... the Heretic Feng Shui Masters want to accumulate Fortune, then... to create an Emperor..."

At these words, a grave look appeared on Yin Tian’s face.

Emperor!

He had no doubts about Li Zanghong’s statement.

Because, indeed, this was how it used to be with Emperors in ancient times.

It’s just that in ancient days, Emperors did not need to do it in such a manner.

Emperors were born with portents from heaven, arriving in this world carrying a great Fortune.

Historical records mention this.

Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, his mother rested by the pond of a great marsh and dreamt of an encounter with a divine being. At that time, amidst thunder and lightning, his father, the Duke, went to look and saw a dragon upon her. Subsequently, she became pregnant and thus gave birth to Gaozu.

An Emperor Liu Guess of the Eastern Han, at the time of his birth, the birthing room was filled with divine light, and a giant red serpent coiled around the bed.

Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, was born to the sight of a blue cloud covering over him like a chariot’s canopy all day, which fortune tellers deemed a sign of supreme nobility, an aura not of an ordinary subject.

And so on and so forth, anyone who could become an Emperor was accompanied by such portents at the time of their birth.

Modern scholars explain this as ancient people being superstitious, needing such narratives to consolidate royal power—the so-called ’divine right to rule.’

But in Yin Tian’s eyes,

All of these were real.

All that happened because the people born were carriers of great Fortune and great Karma, which is why such phenomena occurred.

As for why these omens are no longer seen today, it is because all of Huaxia’s Fortune has been divided among all of Huaxia’s people.

Some unfathomable rule in the cosmos dictates that in this day and age, there would be no one born carrying such an enormous Fortune.

However...

Even though such people no longer appear, it does not mean there is no way to forcibly create an Emperor by seizing Fortune!

Although such actions are against the harmony of heaven, this method indeed stands a chance of success.

However...

When the general achieves his goal, a myriad of bones will be left to dry; if the Heretic Feng Shui Masters really succeed and forcibly create an Emperor destined to reign with overflowing Fortune, who knows how many families would collapse and people perish as a result!

Yin Tian took a deep breath and looked back at Li Zanghong, "And then?"

"Then what?"

"How long has this plan been in action?"

Yin Tian looked at Li Zanghong with a solemn expression, "When did it start? How much of the plan has been completed by now?"

Li Zanghong glanced cautiously at Yin Tian before continuing, "The plan is already more than halfway through..."

More than halfway through!

Yin Tian’s expression turned extremely nasty.

According to his estimates, if the Heretic Feng Shui Masters really wanted to carry out this plan, they would need to take away the Fortune of all the families in Central City and add half of the top families from other provinces to achieve their goal.

Yet, now the plan had already been executed halfway!

This meant...

That likely hundreds of families had perished as a result of the Heretic Feng Shui Master’s mad scheme!

Perhaps the Heretic Feng Shui Masters also realized that if they only targeted families on the outside, it was uncertain how long it would take to succeed, which is why they stretched their hands towards Central City.

After all, the families in Central City, in the context of the whole of Huaxia, are among the top echelons.

Even a fourth-tier family, if seen elsewhere, in various provincial cities, would still be a top family, one that could dominate and dictate terms.

And if the Heretic Feng Shui Masters could steal away the Fortune of those first-tier families in Central City, just taking half of all the first-tier families might be enough to complete the remaining part of their plan!

If that happened, it’s likely that Huaxia would truly be thrown into chaos!
