Talented Man!
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Haitang and his sister Chu Xuanxian were already investigating Chu Mo, but tracing back five hundred years of information would take some time.
Chu Xuanao sat by the pool, with Qiuyue Shuangxue attending to him. Upon seeing Zhu Wushi enter, Chu Xuanao immediately asked...
"How is Yu Huo doing? What did he say?"
Speaking of Yu Huo, Zhu Wushi's lips twitched slightly.
"Your Highness, Yu Huo is indeed a remarkable person."
Looking at Zhu Wushi's somewhat embarrassed expression, was that guy really someone special?
Chu Xuanao asked with some confusion.
What didn't he say?
That shouldn't be happening!
Zhu Wushi shook his head.
"Your Highness, he told me everything. I didn't even have to ask him. He confessed everything. His name is truly fitting."
"What I'm saying is that guy is a real talent; I'm even considering adding him to the Dragon Guard Manor's staff as an unofficial member."
Chu Xuanao blinked and said teasingly.
"What's wrong? What's so special about that guy that he could make you, Zhu Wushi, appreciate his talent in just one night?"
Zhu Wushi first handed several pages of paper to Chu Xuanao before speaking to report.
"Your Highness is too kind. This contains the information Yu Huo gave us about the Blood Lotus Sect and the You Lian Holy Envoy, as well as his own analysis of the You Lian Holy Envoy's personality, behavior, and possible hiding place."
"He also proactively reminded us that the Lieyang Sect of the Great Feng was aware of these things."
Chu Xuanao couldn't help but ask.
"The Lieyang Sect knows about this? He even has connections with the Lieyang Sect?"
Zhu Wushi shook his head again, saying with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
"No, Your Highness, just like when he encountered us this time, he was also captured by the Lieyang Sect before, and even met Gu Ji, a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert from the Lieyang Sect."
Chu Xuanao found this somewhat interesting. Back then, Gu Ji had lost face terribly in his battle with that You Lian Holy Envoy. Thanks to the Blood Lotus Sect's deliberate propaganda, the four kingdoms all knew that Gu Ji had been utterly humiliated.
Some even said that Gu Ji knelt down and begged for mercy, and that the guy would have eaten the Blood Lotus Sect alive if he had encountered them, yet they didn't kill him and even let him go?
Zhu Wushi continued speaking.
"Your Highness, in order to save Yu Huo life, Yu Huo revealed a lot of information about the Blood Lotus Sect and even agreed to be an undercover agent for the Lieyang Sect, taking the Lieyang Sect's secret poison."
"However, this guy later managed to get the antidote himself, secretly contacted the Lieyang Sect multiple times, and even developed several informants within the Lieyang Sect. He told us all of this."
"The Lieyang Sect is unaware of Chu Mo's situation. Yu Huo only recently made contact with the Dong Clan, the Dong Xing of the sect. Yu Huo even said that he would like to serve Your Highness if possible."
"Your Highness, that fellow is indeed a capable and adaptable individual, useful but not to be relied upon."
Chu Xuanao said with great interest.
"You want to use him?"
Zhu Wushi nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness, you can take a look at the following sheets of paper. The information on them is all from that guy himself. This guy is absolutely talented. He has connections with the Lieyang Sect, the Dong Clan, and the Suo Hun Cliff, and these are all people he developed himself. He has nothing to do with the Blood Lotus Sect. They don't even know about it."
"It should be said that he used the Blood Lotus Sect's resources to do his own thing. This guy has a very good grasp of human nature!"
What he said to me last night was all very direct and focused on the Great Feng region; he had guessed that our focus would be on Great Feng from now on."
"With the Blood Lotus Sect's connections with these various forces, our manpower arrangements in Great Feng will be smoother."
Chu Xuanao glanced at the papers, a slight smile playing on his lips. There were even more documents than Zhu Wushi had mentioned, detailing numerous large and small factions, and representatives from various parties.
Yu Huo up to his name, knowing how to make a living. He was clever, humble, and adaptable—truly a man who could bend and stretch.
In this Blood Lotus Sect's crash course on life, I've become quite the cunning old fox.
That guy wasn't wrong; his next focus was indeed on the Great Feng, specifically on the most important imperial star, the Po Jun Star, which had already revealed itself. With Marquis Tianwu Xiang Tiange, the mysterious veil surrounding the imperial star would also be lifted.
Besides the Imperial Star, the second most important place is the Land of Cangshui. This is the territory he Dagan, and it is a must to take it back. If conditions permit, he would like to directly cross the Cangshui and go to the Qilian Mountain Range in the interior of the Great Feng to drink.
These two matters are the main ones. Secondly, there's Chu Mo, whom Yu Huo mentioned. This guy is quite something. He brought this up, and as Dagan Prince of Qin, he couldn't help but pay attention.
Afterwards, whether it was to investigate information, rescue Chu Mo, or take action against the You Lian Holy Envoy, arrangements had to be made in Great Feng. This was also Yu Huo was guiding the conversation, and he was revealing some of his own abilities to prove that he was useful, thus demonstrating his role.
In any case, it increased his chances of survival.
This guy is a genius!
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xuanao looked at Zhu Wushi with a strange expression.
"So you're planning to use the Blood Lotus Sect and the Dong Clan's influence to send people to the Great Feng?"
Zhu Wushi nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness, Dongjia Tianya has already gone there and is currently confirming the matter. We should have news in the next few days, and I don't think Yu Huo would dare to lie to us about this."
The Great Fengtian Marquis's Mansion's influence is all within the military, and the owner is also a long-established military power in the Great Fengtian region. With Dongxing, it's the safest option to rely on the owner to arrange manpower."
"The Blood Lotus Sect has a branch in Great Feng. The fact that they have been able to exist in Great Feng for so long shows that they have a solid foundation. With their channels, it will be easier for our people, and we can also slowly infiltrate the Blood Lotus Sect. We can do it both ways."
"Besides, relying solely on ourselves, we are indeed lacking in manpower, information, and channels within Great Feng's territory."
Chu Xuanao nodded.
"You can arrange it as you see fit! Keep an eye on the Marquis Tianwu's residence first. Po Jun, that imperial star will emerge. Secretly investigate the forces related to the Marquis Tianwu's residence; they'll always have connections."
After Zhu Wushi left, Chu Xuanao had some free time again and was now waiting for news from the Capital.
Within three days, the Great Feng suffered two defeats, and the head of the Great Feng Ancestor was hung on the imperial city wall. The entire Great Feng Dynasty seemed to be shrouded in gloom, and the morale of the army and the people was low throughout the country.
A weak nation is prone to chaos. After being defeated in the Eastern Border Great Feng and with the Northern Border Barbarian Tribe rampaging, Dafeng was busy dealing with military affairs, stabilizing the hearts of the people, and suppressing the unrest among the Northern Border Barbarian Tribe.
The Blood Lotus Sect, the Corpse Immortal Sect, and other evil sects seized the opportunity to rise up and wreak havoc in the eastern and Northern Border Eastern Border the Great Feng, adding further chaos to the turmoil.
In the past few days, news from the Great Feng Capital been spreading throughout the four kingdoms of the land through various channels.
On this day, Yuan Tiangang, also known as [Heaven Beyond Heaven], became famous and renowned throughout the land. He went to the Great Feng of Capital alone, debated the nation's martial prowess, and severed a wisp of National Destiny Great Feng.
He killed Huangfu Qingyun, a Heavenly Being Realm from the Great Feng Imperial Clan, and calmly left amidst several Heavenly Being Realm experts and the great formation.
Countless people lamented that another top-tier power had emerged in the world.
In the Dragon Abode Palace of the Dagan Imperial Palace, Emperor Gan Chu Tianxiong held a stack of intelligence reports in his hand, turning them over and over. He had read them several times before finally turning his gaze to the elders in the palace.
"So, in other words, my Dagan plan was stillborn before it even began."
