Chapter 3658: God King Plan
"Those families now are just a stagnant pool of dead water, still refusing discipline; if someone were to act against them, wouldn't that be better?" The God King merely gave a faint smile, showing no intention to block Ye Liuyun.
"We're just afraid his ambition is too great; if we let it develop, eventually no one will be able to control him," the Right Prime Minister said with some concern.
"It won't be long before the Martial Cultivators can no longer guard that passage. What's left will be a clash of great armies. Isn't his rise better? The greater the power, the greater the responsibility!" Wang Tianqi, however, was not worried at all.
Bai Yunmu instantly understood; it seemed the God King before them intended to use Ye Liuyun's hand to reshuffle the Taixu World.
Especially some Martial Cultivator families, who make no effort to resist the invasion; if they're wiped out, they're wiped out, and the God King certainly won't defend them. Moreover, the families Ye Liuyun eliminates are not people who consider the greater picture.
He only worried that Ye Liuyun might not be usable by the God King later. Yet, seeing the God King's indifferent demeanor, he guessed a general plan was already in place, so he didn't linger on the issue.
He simply reminded the God King again: "I'm afraid Ye Liuyun's actions will affect some Divine Sons' interests, and inevitably some Divine Sons will act against Ye Liuyun."
"At a time like this, not focusing on strengthening one's own power to resist external foes, yet still thinking about expanding one's influence and creating strong opponents for oneself, means one won't be a successor!"
God King Wang Tianqi merely said lightly, clearly not wanting to deal with Divine Sons who might act against Ye Liuyun.
Yet he added: "Heroes emerge in chaotic times. In this era about to plunge into chaos, let the younger generation fight. We old folks can just try to buy them more time!"
His words clearly also reminded the Right Prime Minister not to involve himself in such conflicts.
"Yes!" Bai Yunmu respectfully replied, then reported other matters.
"The prizes for the Five Regions Grand Competition have been preliminarily decided and are being prepared. It's expected that in three months it can be launched; six months later, the elite participants can enter the passage to fight!"
The Five Regions Grand Competition Bai Yunmu mentioned is Wang Tianqi's scheme to mobilize young Martial Cultivators to fight, helping to deal with the monsters on the other side of the passage.
If this method still fails, he will have to announce across the whole realm, recruiting all armies for a desperate all‑out battle.
"Implement it quickly!" Wang Tianqi said, without asking about the prizes. He knew Bai Yunmu could handle affairs without his interference.
He only worried that the passage side wouldn't hold out until then. Even if it didn't, the contestants could still join the army to fight the invading monsters, so the competition isn't wasted.
Meanwhile, as Ye Liuyun was negotiating with some major forces, he was courted by the Seventh and Eighth Divine Sons; after he refused, he was pursued by the Seventh and Ninth Divine Sons.
But Ye Liuyun didn't care about the Divine Sons' threats. If any Martial Cultivator dares to act against him, he'll catch them if he can, or kill them if he can't.
After his round of extortion, Ye Liuyun also got in touch with Li Yuan.
"Want to meet and chat? I've finished everything on my side, have time to go on an expedition with you!" Ye Liuyun asked Li Yuan.
"Sure, I've been waiting for a long time!" Li Yuan also knew what Ye Liuyun had been doing since the last contest and had gathered a lot of information on him.
He immediately arranged a meeting place with Ye Liuyun, intending to treat him to a meal and discuss future cooperation in detail.
"Just arriving makes Young Master Li spend money, huh!" After meeting in a private room of a restaurant, Ye Liuyun politely greeted him.
"Young Master Ye, no need to be formal. Being able to treat a big figure like you to a meal is my honor!" Li Yuan smiled and invited Ye Liuyun to sit.
He had already investigated Ye Liuyun's activities in the Southern Region, confirming he is not an ordinary Martial Cultivator, even stronger than some major forces.
The two chatted casually for a few sentences like old friends, then Li Yuan asked the main matter: "Young Master Ye, this time you came to see me,
"but are you planning to take me to that passage?"
Ye Liuyun answered affirmatively: "Exactly. I've finished all the matters at hand, and I'm restless, so I wanted to see if you have time."
"I'm a free man, can set off anytime. However, I heard two Divine Sons have recently targeted Young Master Ye; don't you need to deal with them in advance?"
Li Yuan also wanted to rush to explore that passage to quickly boost his strength, but he worried those two Divine Sons might seize the chance to strike them, causing trouble.
"Those low‑born riff‑raffles are always around. No need to worry about them; we'll follow our own path, and if they cause trouble on the road, you don't need to act!"
Ye Liuyun was completely unfazed and didn't regard any Divine Son with respect.
If those Divine Sons dared to follow him into the passage to cause trouble, he wouldn't mind killing them outright. He can't act against Divine Sons within the Central Dynasty's territory, but once outside, he has no reservations.
Divine Sons are harder to kill in the Central Dynasty, not only because they have many guards and strong power, but also because the Royal Palace is imbued with the God King's destiny.
That power is too strong; if they stay out of the Royal Palace, Ye Liuyun certainly can't get in. Even outside the palace, the Divine Sons' destiny is slightly weaker, but still carries the God King's destiny.
As soon as he kills a Divine Son, the God King will immediately notice, and Ye Liuyun doesn't want to provoke the God King's retaliation so early.
Li Yuan thought likewise; even if the people around the Divine Sons are strong, they can't match the Sun family's massive power. Since Ye Liuyun could wipe out the Sun family, he naturally doesn't care about the Divine Sons' subordinates.
"Then we'll set out in a day; I'll also inform my subordinates to be fully prepared!" So he decisively made the decision, not wanting to wait any longer.
"Alright!" Ye Liuyun answered in one breath.
Li Yuan then also discussed borrowing troops with Ye Liuyun.
"I have no problem lending you troops. However, after circling the Central Dynasty, I found the dynasty's main army is not weak, and my own forces aren't superior. If you want to make a big move, without a million‑strong army you can't expect results."
"I think this shows the God King's destiny is not yet exhausted; it's still a bit early for you to act," Ye Liuyun sincerely advised.
"Of course, I understand that reasoning, and I won't borrow troops now. I'm just thinking that if the monsters beyond the passage attack and the God King falls, I'll still have a chance to secure a good position for my family."
"As for the God King's position, I can't even imagine a few steps ahead; even with a million‑strong army I wouldn't dare," Li Yuan immediately explained.
"No problem, when you need it I'll allocate it to you!"
Hearing him say that, Ye Liuyun immediately agreed. After all, it cost him nothing; all expenses would be borne by Li Yuan, and he could even profit.
