Chapter 714: Two Old Foxes Planning! Li Chen

Li Chen had already stayed in the Maple Leaf Fief for a not-short period of time.

It had to be said that Olga, this beautiful woman who was pure on the outside, kind on the inside, and had been completely conquered by him, was simply a natural genius for spreading faith!

The pure, flawless, and compassionate temperament on her perfectly matched the parts of the Witch Ancestor's doctrines that protected all living beings and guided the lost, making her naturally radiate a convincing "Saintess" radiance.

Under her running around and preaching, the faith of the Witch Ancestor not only quickly took root among the refugees and commoners of the Maple Leaf Fief, but also spread to seven or eight surrounding cities like a prairie fire.

Simple Witch Ancestor shrines were built one after another, and the number of believers expanded rapidly from the initial tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the scale was still expanding at an astonishing speed.

Wherever Olga went, almost no one could resist her sincere appeal and the beautiful description of "Witch Ancestor's Protection."

This news was transmitted through various channels and finally reached the ears of the former Emperor Ivan, who was "recuperating" in the villa but still closely watching the movements of all parties.

Ivan held the secret report, his fingers slightly white from force, his face full of shock and unease.

He suddenly picked up the secret report and said urgently to the ancestor Romanov beside him: "Ancestor! Look! That Witch Ancestor has actually started preaching in the core area of the hinterland of our Great Luo Dynasty! And the momentum is so fierce! This is definitely not a good thing!"

He paced back and forth, his tone becoming more and more irritable: "If he is allowed to develop like this, it won't be long before his church becomes a behemoth with intricate roots and believers all over the place, deeply rooted in the soil of our Great Luo! By then, if we want to move him again, I am afraid we will have to worry about throwing a rat to protect the vase, and it might even trigger huge turmoil! Must stop him immediately!"

Ivan felt that this was even more serious than the Witch Ancestor tarnishing his harem; this was shaking the foundation of his Romanov family's rule!

However, after Romanov finished reading the secret report, although he also frowned tightly and a trace of dread flashed in his eyes, his tone was relatively calm:

"Stop him? Do you think I don't know I should stop him? But look at the current situation! The May Tian Ce army's offensive in the south has not abated, pressing forward step by step! In the imperial court, that little wretch Xie Ergai is taking advantage of the new Emperor's cowardice to frantically seize power, throwing the court into turmoil!"

We now still need to borrow the Witch Ancestor's power and influence to stabilize the internal situation, balance Xie Ergai, and even count on the wizards under his command to play some role on the front line! Tearing our faces with him at this time is truly unwise!"

A fire of evil surged in Ivan's heart, almost blurted out: Stabilize, stabilize, only know how to stabilize! That witch bandit insulted my harem, trampled on imperial power, and now wants to steal my faith foundation, and you still want me to endure?!

But looking at Romanov's profound and majestic gaze, he finally didn't dare to say this, only his face was suffocated to iron blue, and his chest heaved violently.

Seeing his appearance, Romanov was also a bit displeased, and said coldly: "Fan'er, put away your personal willfulness! If it weren't for your self-righteousness at the beginning, acquiescing to or even indulging Tuoba Zhen's provocation at the border, giving Tian Ce the perfect excuse to launch the war, how could our Great Luo have fallen into the current situation of being besieged from within and without? Isn't the source of all this the evil fruit you planted?"

This sentence was like a head-on blow, uncovering Ivan's most unwilling-to-face scar, making him speechless instantly, his face turning from blue to white, and he slumped on the chair. ===== CHAPTER 715 =====
