Chapter 61

This genius has an extremely high chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Being Realm!

I should have known he would perish.

Even if Minmintemur begged endlessly, he would never agree to let her accompany him!

Aside from that.

Li Taibai's remarks about offering Minmintemur to Ximen Wudi as a tea-pouring servant enraged him beyond endurance!

Even when beating a dog, you must consider the owner!

She is at least a princess he himself enfeoffed!

Yet he has ordered her to become a lowly servant!

This is no longer just slapping his face.

This is outright grinding his face into the ground in a frenzy!

It can be foreseen.

After this incident.

Not only will he himself, but the entire Great Yuan Empire, become the talk and laughingstock of the Nine Provinces!

Thinking of this, Tie Muzhen could no longer hold back.

He furiously kicked over the table before him.

His eyes brimmed with endless killing intent.

He opened his mouth to issue the order to exterminate the Qinglong Society.

The Imperial Preceptor Bashi Ba entered at the right moment.

"Your Khan, are you planning to confront the Qinglong Society?"

"Does the Imperial Preceptor wish to stop me?" Tie Muzhen asked coldly.

"Of course not."

Bashi Ba shook his head.

Then, with serious eyes and a solemn expression, he said.

"I have come merely to warn Your Khan."

"The Qinglong Society is unfathomably deep; if you act rashly, you will only benefit other imperial houses."

"Moreover, the exact number of people under the Qinglong Society remains unknown."

"If you cannot annihilate them all in one strike, it will be a serious threat to the Great Yuan!"

"And do not forget, even without other factors, the Qinglong Society's Eleven Halls and Seven Dragon Heads alone form a terrifying force!"

"To eliminate them all, you would have to deploy the entities buried in the imperial mausoleum."

"The consequences—I believe Your Khan understands them better than I do!"

Tie Muzhen fell silent.

Since every imperial house has been able to establish itself on the martially flourishing Nine Provinces.

Each imperial house holds formidable hidden cards.

Unless the imperial house is destroyed!

Otherwise, these hidden cards must never be lightly deployed!

This is why sects in the Nine Provinces' martial world rarely dare provoke imperial houses.

Not because they cannot, but because they dare not!

Of course.

For the great imperial houses, they too will not lightly deploy their hidden cards.

Because revealing a hidden card means exposing one's true strength to other imperial houses.

Then, in a state war, with the enemy hidden and oneself exposed, one will inevitably fall into a passive position!

Therefore.

After hearing this speech.

Even though Tie Muzhen's heart was filled with murderous intent toward the Qinglong Society.

He still restrained the impulse to give the order.

Compared to contending for supremacy over the Nine Provinces.

He did not want his own impulsive action to plunge the Great Yuan Empire into a disadvantageous situation!

Especially when he thought of the Qinglong Society's Grand Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, whose strength was unfathomable.

If he truly wished to eliminate him, even deploying his hidden cards would likely result in heavy losses.

At that time.

Without him to balance the Qin Huang.

The fate of the entire Great Yuan would be far worse than that of the Han!

After all.

Even though the Han is now in chaos, due to the mutual restraint between the Great Yuan and the Great Qin.

The Seven Imperial Houses have not yet extended their tiger claws.

But if the Great Yuan suffers heavy losses to its hidden cards.

No one in the entire Nine Provinces will be able to restrain the Qin Huang.

The outcome thereafter goes without saying.

For a man of grand ambition and soaring aspirations like him, this was naturally unacceptable!

Having understood all this.

Tie Muzhen drew in two deep breaths, steadying his emotions.

He bowed slightly toward Ba Shibai in greeting.

"Many thanks for the reminder, Imperial Preceptor. Otherwise, the Great Yuan would be in grave peril!"

"The Khan is too kind. If the Khan had not been blinded by anger, with the Khan's eye for things, you would naturally have seen through all this at a glance. Where would you have need of my reminder?"

Ba Shibai smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth and shook his head.

They exchanged a round of mutual flattery.

He took his leave.

043-Yuan Tiangang's Mysterious Confidence, the Forgotten Si Hanfei! (Begging for flowers, begging for tips)

Great Sui, Imperial Palace.

Yang Guang squinted slightly, reclining askew on the Long Yi.

Listening to the attending official's report, his right hand tapped the tabletop in a steady rhythm.

Not long after.

The report fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room, along with his tapping, grew increasingly oppressive.

A good while passed.

Only then did Yang Guang stop the motion of his hand.

A glint of unreadable light flickered in his eyes.

His face expressionless, he said in a low voice.

"Send down an order: you must contact the Qinglong Society for me at once. Tell them I wish to make a deal with them."

"As for the terms, let them name them. At any cost!"

Clearly.

With the portion of power the Qinglong Society had revealed.

While he took them seriously, a thought of cooperation inevitably arose in him.

He knew.

The idea of winning over the Qinglong Society could now be declared a failure.

To possess such an enormous force, yet bide their time for years without acting!

And now, the moment they move, it's with such a grand display!

Anyone with half a brain would know their ambitions are no small matter!

And would such a force be willing to bow beneath another, to be won over by someone else?
