The Imperial Clan's Scheme (Part 2)
The sixth prince also possesses Dragon Qi; all the Dagan Imperial Clan members are protected by the dragon that Dagan the National Destiny, but this is not Dragon Qi he was born with.
It is because they are Imperial Clan offspring, born with the protection of Dagan Dragon Qi, which can ward off evil spirits and malevolent entities, and has a certain degree of restraint over evil things. It can also stabilize the mind to a certain extent, with endless wonderful uses.
The situation of the four kingdoms under heaven has been settled. Over the past ten thousand years, there have been many people born with Dragon Qi. However, having Dragon Qi only means that you have the qualification to compete. You have to be able to survive to the end, after all, Dragon Qi is a good thing.
The Dragon Qi of those people was also drained by the four kingdoms to nourish their own National Destiny. Those who were destined to be great rulers and had the potential to establish their own kingdoms and become emperors have all turned to ashes.
Of the newly born people in this era whose innate Dragon Qi is still alive, there are only three that they Dagan discovered and know about.
The first person he Dagan Imperial Clan supported was someone he was keeping for later, someone he specifically cultivated for the sake of Dagan's National Destiny. After all, in the end, Dagan's current National Destiny would definitely be gone, and it would inevitably be destroyed.
That person wanted to raise a new dragon for the Dagan, and they would also allocate a portion of the current National Destiny, as well as the Flood Dragon Exotic Beast they were raising Tiandu City, all for that guy to use in preparing for the condensation of a dragon.
Let it devour you, and when the time is right, use Secret Method to extract and graft it, nurture it with its vital energy, and in one step, a brand new dragon of National Destiny can be condensed.
They will also usher in a brand new Dagan of great endeavor.
The second is the Dragon Diagram Pavilion of the Great Feng. This power, which rose to prominence in the Great Feng in the last hundred years, has people who possess Dragon Qi, and it is the energy of a true dragon. Hmm, the name Dragon Chart suggests great ambition.
Nearly a hundred years has passed; that guy might have already developed the Dragon Aspect.
The third one is that little guy who was born with Flood Dragon companion, whom the Blood Lotus Sect found from who-knows-where. He has a trace of dragon Dragon Qi and has been well cared for by the Blood Lotus Sect. He has enough life to be Flood Dragon, but he has not yet transformed into a true dragon.
Thinking of these two dragons, Chu Tianxiong couldn't help but rub the corners of his eyebrows and sigh.
The sixth brother was originally left behind for the Blood Lotus Sect and the Dragon Diagram Pavilion. The Dragon Qi that the sixth brother had nurtured, combined with the Dagan National Destiny in the Xinglong Staff, was enough to transform the Holy Son Flood Dragon of the Blood Lotus Sect into a true dragon, and could also save that guy in the Dragon Diagram Pavilion a hundred years of effort to condense Dragon Qi.
According to their thinking, as long as one of these two dragons takes the bait, they will not lose out, especially the Dragon Diagram Pavilion, which has prepared several Dagan for that group of people.
The best outcome would be for the Dragon Diagram Pavilion to reveal its true colors, and for the Blood Lotus Sect and the Dragon Diagram Pavilion to Dragon Aspect over this Dagan Dragon Destiny, allowing them to sit back and observe, controlling the situation – that would be the best outcome.
But in the end, You Province was not captured, the Blood Lotus Sect fled, and the Dragon Diagram Pavilion must have retreated again. Given the current situation of the Great Feng, it is impossible for them to fight a war now, and their envoys seeking peace will probably arrive soon.
Apart from the sixth brother, no one else benefited this time.
Having thought this through, Chu Tianxiong had already made his decision.
"Let's put aside the matter of You Province for now! And we don't need to worry about the situation at Cangshui either; let it develop on its own, and it will have its time to emerge."
"Find a way to get the Blood Lotus Sect to cause trouble for Sixth Brother, or reveal to him the Blood Lotus Sect's Holy Son, who possesses innate Dragon Qi and is accompanied by Flood Dragon. I believe he'll be interested. Let the two of them have some fun first!"
"When that thing from Cangshui is born, both that guy from the Dragon Diagram Pavilion and that Holy Son from the Blood Lotus Sect will appear. Yes, and so will Sixth Brother. Three Dragon Aspect vying for power, not bad."
The elders nodded in agreement. Cangshui was originally a scheme prepared for that guy from the Dragon Diagram Pavilion. They were afraid that the Prince of Qin of Qin wouldn't be able to lure him out, and their plans in You Province hadn't swayed him either. It was the final contingency plan prepared specifically for that guy from the Dragon Diagram Pavilion.
Given the current situation, using the Prince of Qin as bait is no longer an option; the plan in You Province has failed, and this is the only way.
Then Chu Tianxiong said in a deep voice.
"The great victory in You Province has spread throughout the land, and the whole nation is celebrating this Dagan occasion."
A decree was issued to You Province to reward the three armies and to reward the Prince of Qin for his meritorious service... Shenying Marquis Wang Hanying, Lu Shuangxing of You Province Lu Shuangxing, General Qian Shan, and other officials and generals for their hard work and great achievements..."
"The peace delegation from Great Feng You Province probably already preparing. Send an edict to Youzhou, ordering a halt to the war and forbidding any military action against Cangshui. The focus should be on recuperation and recovery. Arrangements should be made for subsequent payments, military expenses, and rewards to be sent to You Province. Li Yi, you will personally deliver this edict and depart for You Province immediately."
The situation has spiraled out of control, and we must stop the fighting immediately. Otherwise, if we advance to the Cangshui now, all our subsequent plans will be ruined. Given the current state of the Great Feng, it is not advisable to start a war. Let's give them some time to recover!
Li Yi, who was standing to the side, bowed his head respectfully and said.
"This old servant obeys the decree."
Then, as if remembering something, a smile flashed across Chu Tianxiong's eyes.
"In this Battle of Youzhou, Lu Bu of the Prince of Qin's Manor made great contributions. Lu Bu is hereby appointed as a fourth-rank General of Zhenhu and transferred to the Capital to Commander of the Capital Garrison."
The ancestors frowned, then seemed to understand something, their brows relaxed, and they asked.
"Does Your Majesty intend to leave these people in the Capital, letting them slip up on their own? Once they make a move, we'll naturally know where Lu Bu came from, and the power behind the Prince of Qin will be self-evident?"
Emperor Gan Chu Tianxiong revealed a smile.
"Then they have to be able to get to this Tiandu City first. If they want to join my scheme, they must have the qualifications. After Lu Bu leaves You Province, have someone test Lu Bu's skills on the road. If he can survive to reach this Capital, that position will be theirs."
"Find someone at the Peak Ascension Realm, someone strong enough, like the one with the golden armor, would be good. Remember, don't use our people. Contact other forces instead. Peak-level Body Cultivator at the Peak Ascension Realm are quite rare."
A Dagan ancestor with strange black markings on his face and an evil aura thought for a moment and said.
"That evil monk Zhi Xie from the Black Fiend Sect is still Dagan. He should have recovered by now. He even made a move in Jiangzhou a few days ago. Shall we send him to give it a try?"
An old ancestor couldn't help but say.
"Wouldn't that mean the person is definitely gone? How could they possibly get to Capital?"
"You all know how strong that little brat Zhi Xie is. Besides, Lu Bu practices demonic energy, which is naturally countered. If he dies, how are we supposed to draw out the forces behind them?"
The elderly woman who had spoken earlier, twirling her wine cup, spoke leisurely.
"Once they're dead, let their backers go after the Black Fiend Sect. If they dare to make a move and slip up, the result will be the same. If they don't have the strength, they should just stay put. Anyway, it has nothing to do with my Dagan; it's just a side pawn."
Moreover, we have high hopes for Lu Bu, and we even promoted him, sending him directly to our Dagan, the Capital, to enter the central government. What a great opportunity! They should come, but if they are not strong enough and die on the way, they can't blame anyone else."
Emperor Gan Chu Tianxiong nodded.
"It's that wicked monk Zhi Xie. As long as Lu Bu can make it to the Capital alive, the position of commander will be his. Regardless of whether Lu Bu survives or not, we should go and ask Zhi Xie to find out where Lu Bu's methods come from."
The old ancestor, whose face was etched with strange black markings, nodded.
Letting Zhi Xie take action was actually the safest option. They suffered no losses and even provided the Black Fiend Sect with another powerful figure to experiment with.
Chu Yinghao, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke.
"By the way, Princess Jingyi has been checking the Imperial Clan genealogy these past two days, looking for someone named Chu Mo."
A hint of doubt appeared on Emperor Gan Chu Tianxiong's face.
"Chu Mo?"
Who is this person?
