Chapter 306: Dominating the Situation

This person was exactly the Prince of Li from Mingzhou, currently the nominal controller of the eastern provinces. At this time, he came before the wooden puppet and bowed deeply to it.

Immediately, after the Prince of Li briefly introduced his identity to the wooden puppet, he stated his purpose for coming.

"This small king was ignorant and was deceived by the Incense Temple. Now, a large number of people in the eight eastern provinces have died, and less than one in ten of those who survived remain. I hope the Great Sage is benevolent and can arrange for personnel to take over these provinces..."

The current Prince of Li had completely lost his former ambition, especially after he ordered the execution of those Incense Temple disciples and followers inside and outside the Prince's Mansion, leaving him with only one path to take.

That was to completely turn and defect to Qitian Dasheng, using the eastern provinces that nominally still belonged to him as a bargaining chip in exchange for his own safety.

"I hope Senior Qitian Dasheng will show mercy, seeing that the eastern provinces have suffered at the hands of the Incense Temple and thousands of families have been broken. My father is willing to take out the remaining grain, provisions, and armor for your use."

At the same time, Princess Qingyuan also came before the wooden puppet and said cautiously. At the same time, she took out a small puppet, which meant that she would use the opportunity she had worked so hard to exchange for back then to trade for Lin Feng sparing the Prince of Li.

"Click, click."

After taking this small puppet, the wooden puppet, under Lin Feng's control, nodded, considering it an agreement to the matter.

He knew very well that the land of the eight provinces was now completely empty. For a place like this, either someone powerful enough to issue orders directly so that others would not dare to offend must exist, or there must be a force that arranges enough personnel to restore the people's livelihood.

"Thank you, Qitian Dasheng!"

Seeing the wooden puppet nod in agreement, the Prince of Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Things having reached this point, being able to keep his life could already be considered not bad.

Soon, the Prince of Li stepped back, and others began to come before him to pay their respects. These people each had their own reasons; some just came to get a familiar face, while some forces wanted to confirm Lin Feng's next plans...

For these people, Lin Feng also communicated with them briefly, and he also expressed interest in some special inheritances of the Thousand Craftsmen.

Tonight, those who came to pay their respects included special inheritances like the Guiyi Dao, as well as more common Thousand Craftsmen forces like leather tanners, the Luban Hall, and embroidery ladies. Even a very rare Gui-cook came.

For these Thousand Craftsmen inheritances, Lin Feng roughly gave an exchange list. Lin Feng didn't need any core inheritances; as long as they were willing to offer ordinary inheritances, Lin Feng was willing to give rewards including the Zhiren General.

One had to know that a puppet at the level of a Perfected Person was a key factor that could lead a sect back to glory.

Seeing the rewards Lin Feng gave, many people were quite tempted. However, this matter was related to inheritance after all, and the people who came couldn't make the decision directly themselves; they still needed to discuss it with others in the sect.

After handling this matter, Lin Feng also bluntly told everyone here that the disputes within the scope of the Great Xia must end as soon as possible!

After understanding Qitian Dasheng's thoughts, these people suddenly felt a chill, and then one by one, they immediately guaranteed to Lin Feng:

"We understand, please rest assured, Saint Senior!"

In their view, this Saint who was powerful beyond imagination must be extremely dissatisfied with the current situation, otherwise, he would absolutely not have spoken like this.

The only pity was that this Saint before them did not directly name who should reorganize the order. If he had, the world would immediately welcome a new master.

Of course, it could not be ruled out that this Saint might be interested in the position of Human Emperor. If that were the case, they would probably kneel and submit instantly, then stage a scene of subjects returning their hearts.

It was a pity that Lin Feng didn't care much about power. Currently, he had more urgent things to do and had no time to worry about other matters.

Soon, after giving the instructions, Lin Feng left with some of the gains he needed, and the others on Qianyuan Mountain also left one after another.

Tonight, being able to communicate with Qitian Dasheng could be considered to have achieved the purpose of their trip, and some people and forces had also achieved their goals. No matter how you looked at it, the harvest was not small.

——————

"Rengian... maybe it can be peaceful for a period of time now, right?"

In the graveyard of Xinglong Ling, Lin Feng held a carving knife and carved the Black Steel stone statue before him bit by bit, while also pondering some things.

Many things in Rengian were far more complex than they appeared. After he had read the life experiences of those Saints, he was even clearer about the complexity hidden behind them.

Now that Rengian had become this situation, at least seventy percent of the factors were due to those Saints and Gods pushing from behind. As for those clans, sects, and princes in Rengian, they were merely pawns driven by power and interests.

If one wanted Rengian to return to stability, the key to the problem had never been with these forces. They would only obey the orders of the truly powerful, such as Qitian Dasheng, who now possessed the power to behead the Incense Master!

But when one day they discovered there was an even more powerful existence, at the very least, half of these people would turn, and the remaining half would also start making two-handed preparations.

For these people's thoughts and actions, Lin Feng could be said to be too clear. Never expect them to possess any heart of loyalty!

Sometimes, what you think is controlling Rengian, becoming the Human Emperor, and ruling the world, in reality, should be mastering these forces, letting them govern the world, and letting them represent the Human Emperor... Throughout history, it has never been anything else.

For such power and results, Lin Feng couldn't raise the slightest interest. If he had such idle time, it would be better to continue developing himself.

As long as he could continue to grow, then no matter who became the so-called Emperor, they would have to act according to his will!

This was the most important reason why those Saints basically wouldn't go and be the Emperor to govern the country themselves. After all, controlling a puppet was much better than going on stage yourself.

"Ding ding dang~"

With the passage of time, the night passed quickly. When dawn broke, everything seemed the same as usual. Outside, it was still snowing lightly, and everything was a vast expanse of white.

After breakfast, Lin Feng started carving the Black Steel stone statues again. He had been busy for most of the night last night, and now these three statues were finally nearing completion.

Now, he only needed to complete some details to be able to start the fusion ritual. After completion, they could be handed over to the Zhiren army in the Yinjian to use.

Now, the situation in the Yinjian was clearly becoming worse and worse. Outside the perimeter of the military camp, more and more powerful Guiyi and corpses were appearing, and among them, even Zai Gui were mixed in.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had already arranged four powerful Jie Gui and an army of forty thousand Zhiren in advance. At this very moment, dealing with these ferocious Guiyi could still be considered more than enough.

But it could be anticipated that the situation would become more and more serious next. According to Lin Feng's estimation, the other party should have already discovered the military camp, and next, they would inevitably send even more powerful existences.

By then, enemies at the level of Jie Gui or even above Jie Gui might appear, so Lin Feng must make full preparations.

However, although the situation last night was getting worse, it was not without any good news. At the very least, the number of Guiyi suppressed by the Zhiren army had skyrocketed. Next, it could provide Lin Feng with thousands of Zhiren Xiaowei and dozens of Zhiren Generals, in addition to two Zai Gui.

As long as he could timely transform these Guiyi into combat power, then the final result of this battle was hard to say. Even if the other party could control all the Guiyi in the Yinjian, perhaps in the end, it would only make Lin Feng become more and more powerful! ===== CHAPTER 307 =====
