Chapter 850

This is clearly brotherly love and respect between elder and younger!

Jochi himself felt even more confused by the whole thing.

Originally when Yelu Chu had said as much, his heart had been both thrilled and terrified.

But when those words came from his sworn enemy Wokuotai, all that remained was a chill rising from the depths of his heart.

Wokuotai would certainly not treat him well.

Then what exactly did this Thirteen Wings mean?

"What? Jochi, do you have any complaint with this Khan's judgment?"

Wokuotai sat upright upon the Long Yi, and seeing Jochi still sprawled there unmoving, could not help but ask with a cold laugh.

Making you, Jochi, into a woman—this Khan will certainly push it forward with all his might.

"Jochi, hurry up and Xie En!"

Yelu Chu was also getting a little anxious, and could not help but speak up to remind him.

Becoming one of the Thirteen Wings, although it meant turning into a female body, was still being a free person—one could survive!

But if he were to oppose it, he feared Wokuotai would immediately prepare to kill him to cut off future trouble!

Among Tie Muzhen's four sons, Jochi was the most valiant in battle, and also the one most averse to using his brain.

Thinking it over in a sudden rush like this, how could he possibly figure out why Wokuotai was doing this?

Hearing Yelu Chu's reminder, and recalling the might of the Thirteen Wings,

Jochi hesitated a while, then at once prostrated himself fully and performed the great salute,

"Guilty subject Jochi, Xie Dahan for the grace!"

"Good! Old Grand Tutor, take him away! The Great Yuan is in need of talent at this very moment—this Khan needs you to be quick!"

Wokuotai, seeing Jochi Xie En, was immediately overjoyed, and gave the order to Yelu Chu.

Yelu Chu, seeing him so impatient, naturally knew that Wokuotai was eager to see Jochi in female form as soon as possible.

After all, in this half-life of Jochi's, he had fought Wokuotai the most fiercely.

Seeing his own enemy turn into a woman—how could he not be delighted?

Late Khan, this old minister has failed you!

Yelu Chu silently recited this in his heart, then at once accepted the order and walked toward Jochi.

Jochi, still dazed and oblivious, rose to his feet and once more offered thanks to Wokuotai, before following Yelu Chu and withdrawing.

Once the figures of Yelu Chu and Jochi had vanished, only then did a military general leap forth,

"Great Khan, this Jochi has long harbored disloyal intentions—he is truly not a man content to remain beneath another.

Now you still listen to the Grand Tutor's words and bestow upon him the power of the Thirteen Wings.

I fear once he truly achieves success, Jochi will be beyond anyone's control!"

Among the rulers of the three great Imperial Dynasties, aside from the late Imperial Prince Zichu of Great Qin, none possessed outstanding strength.

If Jochi truly became one of the Thirteen Wings now, in many people's hearts he would be the more fitting Great Khan.

"No matter, no matter!"

The great general before him was a trusted commander of Wokuotai's, and naturally knew he meant well for him.

But Wokuotai truly did not care about Jochi becoming one of the Thirteen Wings!

A Jochi in female form—how many would still be willing to follow him then?

He feared that, given Jochi's imposing stature, plenty of people with unusual tastes would set their sights on him—or her, wouldn't they?

Loyalty?

That would be a dream!

Seeing Wokuotai so utterly confident, both those loyal to him and those mindful of Tie Muzhen's kindness fell silent.

Boyan also found it strange, but the Thirteen Wings were truly a top-tier secret of the Great Yuan.

Those who knew of it were few.

Even though Boyan served as Vice Chancellor, his knowledge remained limited.

For now Boyan stopped pressing the matter, and instead asked Wokuotai,

"Then regarding this matter of the Ten Thousand Mountains, whom does the Great Khan think should be sent?"

The Ten Thousand Mountains were the most critical matter at hand!

He feared that while the Great Yuan deliberated, the various great powers had already dispatched people there!

The threshold of Lin Family Fort would not be long before it was worn down by trampling feet.

"Mm! The matter of the Ten Thousand Mountains is of great import."

Wokuotai nodded, giving Boyan an approving look,

"But for now, just as the Grand Tutor said, our Great Yuan truly has no suitable candidate to go to the Wu Zhao."

"Great Khan…"

Boyan, seeing Wokuotai mention the Grand Tutor with every word, felt a sourness in his heart, and at once prepared to throw caution aside and recommend a candidate.

But before he could finish speaking, Wokuotai's eyes suddenly lit up,

"No need, no need!

Isn't this Jochi about to become one of the Thirteen Wings?

With his status, and the strength of the Thirteen Wings, he is more than a match for Lin Yue Ru of Lin Family Fort."

"Ah?"

The assembled ministers, hearing this, could not help but stir in astonishment.

Could it be that the new Great Khan had truly gone foolish at last?

Shuchi had been his rival for the better part of his life, and now that the time had come to settle accounts, how had this new Great Khan done the very opposite?

First he made Shuchi one of the Thirteen Wings, then he pushed him toward Lin Family Fortress, urging him to become Lin Tiannan's ideal son-in-law.

If Shuchi truly succeeded, with the Thirteen Wings' strength, with Lin Family Fortress lending full support from outside, and his old subordinates answering from within—

Even if he could not replace the Great Khan, at the very least Shuchi's authority within the Great Yuan would likely be second only to Wokuotai's.

And after a period of maneuvering, who knows—perhaps he might even reduce Wokuotai to a figurehead?

653 The Qinglong Society miscalculated?

Ever since this installment of the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking was announced, Fang Dongbai—also known as Sun Moon Holy Cult's Cult Leader Eastern Invincible—had vanished without a trace.

No one knew where this former cult leader, who had disguised herself as a man, had gone.

Because the Desire Luo Pan bestowed by the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking originated from the Ten Thousand Realms.

For a time, Black Wood Cliff itself was nearly visited in turn by every major faction of the Nine Provinces' jianghu.

Yet for all the Sun Moon Holy Cult's grand reputation, even its Cult Leader Fang Dongbai was merely at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

In the present Nine Provinces, where winds and clouds shift with every moment, the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm was no longer enough to dominate the world.

Thus, after being visited by the major powers of the Nine Provinces, and with no one left to hold things together, the Sun Moon Holy Cult instead collapsed from that point on.

All of this, however, had nothing whatsoever to do with Fang Dongbai—the alias adopted by Eastern Invincible.

Having obtained the Desire Luo Pan, and having learned the specific miraculous effects of this treasure from the Ten Thousand Realms, as well as how to use it—

She no longer had any mind to dominate Black Wood Cliff, and instead went straight down the mountain, following the Desire Luo Pan's guidance to seek out the place she had long dreamed of.

Over the years, as her divine art reached completion, the experiences of her childhood kept echoing before her eyes.

Eastern Invincible, to save her younger sister Yilin, had offered herself up to lure away the bandits who were slaughtering the entire market town.

Staggering along, with nowhere left to go, she came to the little river outside the market town.

The deep forest ahead was unknown in fortune or misfortune, and Eastern Invincible, a frail woman, could run no longer.

Behind her, jackals and fierce tigers of bandits were closing in fast.

In utter despair, Eastern Invincible would rather throw herself into the river and end it all.

At that moment a bandit, using his lightness skill, suddenly caught up and seized Eastern Invincible in one grip.

Then, unable to wait a moment longer, he tried to take liberties with Eastern Invincible right there by the little river.

Eastern Invincible naturally refused unto death, but a frail woman—how could she resist a bandit fierce and evil beyond measure?

In her moment of peril, Eastern Invincible could only wail and sob.

She never expected that this very cry would save her life.

It happened that a master was cultivating in the river, and was disturbed by Eastern Invincible's weeping.

He then, with invisible sword Qi, suddenly struck and arrived.
