Helping Chu Wanyue Resolve the Southern Region Crisis, and the Idea of Creating Heavenly Soldiers!
Chu Jie understood perfectly.
There are some things that, when the time comes, must be done by him.
Prince You of Chu may bear Ten Thousand Ages infamy, but the Empress may not.
Chu Wanyue understood this, and so did Chu Jie.
But Chu Wanyue was confident that she could solve these problems.
Because she is Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the methods of the Heavenly Immortal Realm are beyond the comprehension of cultivators from the lower realms.
"Alright, stop arguing!" Ling Yi interrupted the siblings' quarrel.
"I've already sent people to handle the matter in the Southern Region; news should arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest."
Chu Wanyue and Chu Jie exchanged a glance, then looked at Ling Yi.
"Young Master Ling, are you confident? After all, those are over two million innocent civilians."
"Don't worry, no one will die. The Corpse Refining Sect and the Prince of Zhennan will also be dealt with."
"Could you tell me what methods Young Master Ling used?"
"I apologize, it's not that I doubt it, but this matter is simply impossible to accomplish using ordinary methods."
Ling Yi nodded. "I understand, but I can't go into the specifics of the method. You just need to wait one night, and you'll have the results."
"Brother, there's no need to doubt Young Master Ling's abilities. If he says it's possible, then it definitely is." Chu Wanyue had complete trust in Ling Yi.
"Young Master Ling and Madam Ling, you must be tired from your journey today. Please rest at Nanhua Garden. If you need anything, please let Chunmei and Chuntao prepare it."
Chunmei and Chuntao were the palace maids who brought Ling Yi and the others to the Imperial Study.
They are twin sisters.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Chu Wanyue left with Chu Jie.
Chen Xiaodao, led by a palace maid, drove the carriage towards the so-called Nanhua Garden.
Inside the carriage Ji Luo Xue suddenly said, "Your Majesty and Prince You have a very tacit understanding!"
Ling Yi paused slightly, then smiled and said, "You figured it out?"
"It's not that I see it, it's that I've figured some things out."
She paused, then continued, " Chu Wanyue is well aware that the situation in the Southern Region is a considerable problem."
"Although she has high cultivation, she cannot defeat everyone instantly."
"At that time, the people will inevitably suffer some losses, and any losses, no matter how small, will be used against them."
Therefore, it's best not to make a move.
Neither Prince You of Chu nor His Majesty has a perfect solution.
"The absence of a perfect solution does not mean there is no solution."
"It's just a matter of how much of a cost they incur."
"They seem to be arguing, but it's really just a matter of good cop/bad cop. If they really wanted to argue, they could have done it in private."
There's no need for this performance in front of us.
"All I want is for you to make a move."
"His Majesty knows your abilities, but Prince You does not, yet they still manage to perfectly cooperate in staging this charade. This level of teamwork is beyond what ordinary people can achieve."
"My wife is so smart." Ling Yi pinched Ji Luo Xue's nose.
"Since my husband has already figured it out, why do you still want to help?"
"There are some things I can't do alone; I need people, lots and lots of people."
Ling Yi wants to poison this world, and Shadow alone is not enough.
The Immortal Cultivation Realm is vast.
It's much bigger than I imagined.
The area where Ling Yi and his group were located was merely the tip of the iceberg in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Although Shadow can also poison the world, it is but a Shadow with limited power.
Their activity range is also limited.
To think you could poison the entire world with just your Shadow would take an unknown amount of time.
Moreover, this is only the lower realm.
What about the Immortal Realm and the God Realm?
It's not just the lower realms that need poison.
Therefore, Ling Yi needs a celestial kingdom and to build an invincible celestial Heavenly Soldier that can traverse the Three Realms.
First, poison the Heavenly Soldier, and then have these Heavenly Soldier poison the Three Realms!
"So, you've chosen the Empress?"
"No, I have chosen the Great State of Chu."
Ji Luo Xue suddenly realized.
In the Great State of Chu, it didn't matter to Ling Yi who was emperor.
What Ling Yi needs is the Great State of Chu.
Ling Yi and Ji Luo Xue spoke in loud voices.
The two palace maids, Chunmei and Chuntao, naturally heard it as well.
Soon, Chu Wanyue will find out.
Or rather, Ling Yi and Ji Luo Xue were speaking to Chu Wanyue.
Ling Yi was telling Chu Wanyue, "I know what you're planning."
This was also a warning to Chu Wanyue: she wasn't indispensable.
Nanhua Garden, though called a garden, was actually a mansion.
The courtyard has six sections, and its area is comparable to three football fields.
Ling Yi didn't stand on ceremony.
On their way to the capital, Ling Yi and Ji Luo Xue were already looking forward to the palace banquet.
So the first thing to do upon arriving at Nanhua Garden was to have Chuntao and Chunmei prepare food.
As for the problem in the Southern Region, how should it be resolved?
Of course, we should let the Shadow handle it.
Although Shadow have no offensive capabilities, they can instantly Deprivation everything from others.
This includes lifespan.
The key point is that Shadow cannot be Perception or Probe.
It will not be trapped by the Formation.
Unaffected by the World Rule.
It is possible to Deprivation someone's life silently.
It can be said that Shadow are the most unreasonable beings in this world.
Even the Heavenly Dao cannot do anything about Shadow.
It was quite lively on Ling Yi and Ji Luo Xue's side.
Various delicacies were delivered to Nanhua Garden in a continuous stream.
The two of them stayed up until midnight before finally going to rest.
However, Chu Wanyue and her brother Chu Jie did not get a good night's rest.
The words that Chunmei and Chuntao brought back calmed their hearts.
As the night passed, the sun rose in the east.
Inside the imperial study, Chu Wanyue and Chu Jie stood side by side, looking south.
They were all waiting, waiting for news from the Southern Region.
"Royal sister!" Chu Jie called out.
"Okay, don't say anything, don't ask anything, just wait!" Chu Wanyue knew what Chu Jie was going to ask.
"But..."
We had no choice.
Chu Jie swallowed the words that were about to come out.
I waited a few more minutes.
Chu Wanyue's phone suddenly rang.
Chu Wanyue answered almost instantly, and simultaneously turned on the speakerphone function.
"Your Majesty, the crisis in the Southern Region has been resolved." A clear female voice rang out.
"How did you solve it?" Chu Jie asked.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. "I don't know."
Before Chu Wanyue could ask any questions...
The voice on the other end spoke again, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhennan and his rebel army have disappeared, the Corpse Refining Sect has disappeared, and the Corpse Refining Grand Formation is gone too."
"One night, to be precise, less than half Shichen."
"They vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed, as if they had been forcibly erased."
"My people have taken some footage, and I've already sent it over."
"Alright, Commander Jiang, you take over the affairs of the Southern Region for now. I will go there personally later."
After Chu Wanyue finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
I opened Bubble Chat, and sure enough, a video had been sent.
The siblings clicked on the video and leaned over to watch.
The video is short, less than ten seconds long.
In the scene, a dozen or so disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect were patrolling their base.
As it walked, it simply turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.
Chu Wanyue was alright; he had seen similar scenes before.
But Chu Jie had never seen it before, and the shock he felt was unimaginable.
After watching the video, the siblings both fell silent.
After a long while, Chu Jie finally gave a wry smile and said, "The cell phone that the Mystic Moon Sect made is really useful."
