Imperial Clan Schemes (Part One)
"Where did this Heaven Beyond Heaven come from? It's ruining our Imperial Clan's grand plan!"
An old ancestor of the Dagan Imperial Clan, his eyes blazing with anger, roared.
Emperor Gan Chu Tianxiong rubbed his temples, muttering to himself with a complicated expression.
"Heaven, beyond, heaven."
Chu Tianxiong felt a mixture of love and hate towards this suddenly appearing Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Love is that Huangfu Qingyun is dead, his head is hung so high that everyone in the world knows about it now. This peerless genius of the Great Feng Imperial Clan hundreds of years ago, who had now grown into a pillar of the Great Feng and a powerful expert in the Heavenly Being Realm, has died just like that.
Chu Tianxiong was overjoyed at this and wished he could jump up and celebrate.
Even Chu Tianxiong's schemes haven't yet been implemented on the Heavenly Being Realm experts; it's not time for that yet.
The deeper the affection, the more ingrained the hatred. He had been plotting against the Dagan Imperial Clan for so long, only to have someone overturn the table right at the beginning.
Holding the intelligence about various parts of Great Feng in his hand, Chu Tianxiong knew that it was hopeless. Great Feng could be said to be useless now, and it would not be able to muster any effective fighting power against Dagan in the short term.
He had been preparing for this game for decades, and now his crucial piece, Great Feng, was rendered useless right at the start?
No, not only the chess pieces, but the chessboard itself has disappeared.
With the Great Feng in this state, some of its subsequent plans had to be changed.
This is only Chu Tianxiong's part; the entire Dagan Imperial Clan has been planning this game for over two thousand years.
This very first move was completely unexpected, which is not a good sign!
An elderly woman spoke up and asked.
"Your Majesty, things aren't going according to plan in You Province! What should we do next?"
After he finished speaking, the other elders also spoke up.
"The Great Feng is a bunch of useless trash. They were almost completely annihilated in the Battle of Youzhou. And that Qin Xiaosheng, who claims his military strategy is comparable to Xiang Tiange's and that he's a rising star among military commanders, is utterly worthless."
"Exactly, exactly. From the marching route, the army deployment, the personnel arrangements, every piece of information we provided to the Great Feng was meticulously planned. We even arranged for the disintegration of our Dagan personnel. And yet we still lost. A bunch of trash."
"Your Majesty, with this victory at You Province, all subsequent plans have been ruined."
"That's more than that! We haven't even caught the Dragon Diagram Pavilion yet. Those bastards are hiding even better than the Blood Lotus Sect. How can they hold back from making a move? If we don't dig them out, I feel they'll definitely be a huge problem in the future."
Thinking of the Dragon Diagram Pavilion, an old ancestor couldn't help but reveal a cold glint in his eyes. Dagan since he discovered this force of the Great Feng, he had been secretly investigating it. In addition to the Great Feng conquering You Province and setting the stage for the world's future, the Battle of Youzhou was also about...
The idea was also to use the Prince of Qin to lure out the Dragon Diagram Pavilion. A powerful force can't always hide in the shadows and act as a black hand. If you're hiding deeper than us, how can we feel at ease making plans in the dark? It's better to be in the open.
With the Imperial Clan Dragon Qi on the Prince of Qin, plus the Dagan National Destiny on the Xinglong Staff, he could save the hidden dragon at least a hundred years of Dragon Qi condensation. As long as he is tempted and dares to make a move, he has plenty of ways to find you. Who knew that the Great Feng a bunch of useless trash? Sigh!
"How about we speed up the progress at Cangshui?"
"No way, Great Feng is almost going crazy right now. Don't let anything slip."
Where are those Blood Lotus Sect members?
"They say they've all gone to Great Feng to cause trouble, but the spy said the Blood Lotus Sect probably has some other plans in You Province, though they didn't tell her. It's a vice sect leader's plan, directly contacting the You Lian Holy Envoy."
"Those bastards from the Blood Lotus Sect are truly despicable! They even keep secrets from their own people."
Chu Yinghao also thought of someone and asked.
"Your Majesty, the situation in You Province has reached this point. What should we do about the Prince of Qin?"
After Chu Yinghao spoke, the other elders also had complicated expressions. They should have been happy to win, but this was not the victory they wanted.
Only through defeat, a crushing defeat, can this plan continue. Only after Dagan can its decline be revealed, and only then will the world see that the Dagan has fallen into ruin. Only then will they enter the game, and only then will the world descend into chaos.
Looking at the top piece of intelligence in his hand, Chu Tianxiong was full of doubts and asked Li Yi.
"Where did this sixth brother get his 50,000 iron cavalry? Lu Bu?"
Fifty thousand iron cavalry, that's no joke.
Li Yi lowered his head, looking terrified.
"Your Majesty, this old servant is incompetent and has failed to ascertain the origin of the Sixth Your Highness's men. Please punish me."
Chu Tianxiong looked at an old ancestor, who also sighed and shook his head, indicating that he did not know either.
An old ancestor thought for a moment and said.
"That Lu Bu, at the Peak Ascension Realm, is still in the Body Refinement stage. His archery skills were enough to kill the Second Elder of the Great Feng Imperial Clan next to Qin Xiaosheng, and he killed Liu Xue of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect with a single arrow. In terms of strength, he is probably even above Wen Hao. There are not many people like him Heavenly Realm Seed."
Even among the Imperial Clan, those who Heavenly Realm Seed are rare.
The seated people all nodded in agreement. The Heavenly Realm Seed were those top geniuses, such as the current emperor's sister, Chu Shenghuang, who was born with the Phoenix Divine Mark and was born into their Imperial Clan. With endless resources, she was destined to reach the Heavenly Being Realm. Princess Yunling was the same.
Besides these, there are also some people in the world who are very talented and have excellent comprehension. Among those of the same level, their strength is unmatched. This difference is especially obvious when they reach the pinnacle.
You reached the Peak Ascension Realm because your talent has reached its limit, and that's how your life will be. But I'm at the Peak Ascension Realm because I don't have any treasures and can't comprehend the Dao of Heaven.
Even within the same realm, their strengths can vary drastically.
A hint of amusement flickered in Chu Tianxiong's eyes.
"So, what force is behind Lao Liu? And this newly emerged Heaven Beyond Heaven?"
Several elders offered their guesses.
"I don't know yet, but it shouldn't be! News from the Great Feng says that the Heavenly Being Realm cultivator wields a divine weapon and practices Daoist techniques, which is quite similar to the Xuantian Dao Sect."
"Does this 'Heaven Beyond Heaven' really exist? I have a feeling it's some kind of underhanded scheme by those cunning old Daoists from the Xuantian Dao Sect."
"That can't be! That divine artifact isn't the Yin Yang Five Thunder Plate of the Xuantian Dao Sect."
"That Lu Bu from You Province, his body refinement is aiming for the pinnacle, his body tempered with murderous aura, his cultivation method is not like the orthodox path, but rather somewhat similar to the Three Demon Mountain and the Black Fiend Sect."
"The Three Demon Mountain are with Prince Qing. Where are those Human-Demon and bald man from the Black Fiend Sect? Didn't you just see the intelligence? You can ask those guys to bring out 50,000 Human-Demon, no problem. Ask them to bring out 50,000 elite cavalry? Are you dreaming?"
Chu Tianxiong thought for a moment and asked.
"That little fellow from the Blood Lotus Sect, who was born with Dragon Qi and accompanied by Flood Dragon, also went to Great Feng?"
An Imperial Clan Ancestor replied.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the news of the Blood Lotus Sect's Holy Son spread even before he arrived in You Province. Upon hearing the news, that guy went straight to Great Feng."
"Why!"
Chu Tianxiong couldn't help but sigh.
So, it means that none of the things their Imperial Clan wanted to do were accomplished.
