War is a Game for the High and Mighty

Seeing Jicheng remain silent, Wild Elder Shaoling smiled faintly.

"I have been in Li Tang for a hundred years. During that time, I traveled everywhere and indeed discovered quite a few things. There is something I would like to confirm with you, General."

"Please, go ahead, sir."

Jicheng's attitude became noticeably more courteous.

Who in the Li Tang Sect did not know that Jicheng was famed for treating worthy talents with humility?

"It is rumored that ten thousand years ago, when the Needle-Staring Great Emperor suppressed the entire Nether Sea by himself, he once said something."

'The war spanning tens of thousands of years is nothing more than a game, and the prize is the entirety of Li Tang?'

"Yes."

Jicheng nodded. The family he belonged to was the oldest family in the Li Tang Mountains.

As for certain classified matters from ten thousand years ago, he knew them better than anyone.

"The General's ambition likely stems from those words as well. If so, then I shall gladly serve the General with all my strength."

"I hope you will offer me much guidance, sir."

"I would not dare claim to guide you. The General only needs to make two moves. First, use this battle to weaken and suppress the various factions within the Li Tang Sect one by one. Second, eliminate Sect Master Wang Yuan. He cannot be allowed to continue balancing the various forces and maintaining equilibrium. As for the Nether Sea, it is merely the blade the General is using to kill with a borrowed knife."

Wild Elder Shaoling sat upon the clouds and began discussing the plans ahead with Jicheng.

After Wild Elder Shaoling's guidance, Jicheng felt as though the clouds had parted to reveal the sun, and he admired Wild Elder Shaoling's wisdom to the utmost.
