C3 Rebellion in the golden horse hall
Seeing Chi Bai act this way, Shangguan Yue felt gratified in his heart. He walked over to help Chi Bai up.
"Chi Bai, there's no need for you to do this. I was the one who let you cultivate in the shrine. You don't need to worry about this matter. One Madan Cheng won't be able to kill me."
The scarlet white eyes were red as he nodded his head and stood at the side. His unruly eyes were filled with determination.
"Prince, I'm back." Seeing that Shangguan Yue was fine, Cao Wen Shang's face was full of smiles.
"It's good that you're back, Mr. Cao. I have something I need you to do." Shangguan Yue nodded and called Cao Wenshang in.
It had been more than half a month since Cao Wenshang returned, but Shangguan Yue had suddenly disappeared. Cao Wenshang had already established the Marshal's Mansion, and it could be said that of all the people, Cao Wenshang had the most confidence in Shangguan Yue.
"What are your plans, Prince?" Cao Wenshang asked as he sat down. There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Shangguan Yue had only revealed the plan to him once, and the result was the destruction of the Golden Horse Hall. Cao Wen Shang was very curious, what was Shangguan Yue planning to do this time?
Shangguan Yue didn't need to tell him to do ordinary things, they both agreed on this point.
"It's like this, Mr. Cao. First of all, I want you to help me secretly collect the more intelligent orphans from all over the country. The number will be one hundred thousand, as long as no one is raising them, they can be raised. Shangguan Yue instructed.
Cao Wenpang was puzzled. Orphan? Why did Shangguan Yue want to collect these orphans?
After experiencing the rebellion of the Gold Horse Hall, there were many orphans in the Great Yong Empire. This was a big problem for the Great Yong Empire. Shangguan Yue's request was not that difficult, but it took a lot of thought and thought just to carry it out secretly.
"Prince, don't worry. I will speed up this matter. There won't be any mistakes." Cao Wenshang replied immediately.
This was actually not that difficult. With Cao Wenshang's intelligence and Shangguan Yue's power, as long as he arranged things properly, no one would be able to find the whereabouts of these orphans.
"Alright, I will leave this matter to you. The second thing I want you to do is to secretly gather a hundred thousand men under twenty from the national army, those who are unattached to you, those who are brave enough to fight, those who are not, I will train a batch of strong soldiers, as for the rest of the things you need to decide, I will leave it to you, the Marshal's Mansion will decide, whether you want to fight or not, everything is up to you. There's only one thing, I want you to buy ten years of time for me, Great Yong."
When Shangguan Yue's words came out, Cao Wenshan's eyes lit up, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty undressing in front of him.
Ten years later, I want my Great Yong to truly become the champion of the world. Not everyone dares to say these words.
The territory of the Great Yong Empire was not small. However, compared to the rest of the world, it was merely a one in a dozen. Cao Wenshang had always known this.
There were at least dozens of empires like the Great Yong Empire in this world. Back then, the founding emperor of the Great Yong Empire had laid down a huge territory and thus, he was not allowed to advance any further. For the past 500 years, the Great Yong Empire had been stuck at the borders for a long time.
One was the problem of the Great Yong's national power, and the other was the restriction of the cultivators.
As for the worshippers of the various dynasties, they were only formed up by rogue cultivators in the cultivation world who muddled along unfavorably. The ones who truly stood at the peak of this world were, from start to finish, the major cultivation sects.
For example, the Great Yong Empire required the Heavenly Will Sect to supply resources every year in exchange for the Heavenly Will Sect's support. For a dynasty without the support of an immortal cultivation sect, it was impossible for it to last long.
And now, Shangguan Yue actually said he would take ten years to truly become the overlord of the world. Not just anyone dared to say that.
The dynasty had always been a vassal force of a cultivation sect, what was Shangguan Yue trying to do?
Cao Wen Shang would never think that Shangguan Yue was crazy, he must have his own plans. But now, he had seen a grand blueprint unfolding in front of his eyes.
"Your Highness, Wen Shang should have done his best, even after he died." Cao Wenshang immediately bowed deeply.
The people that he, Cao Wenshang, had followed should have had a spirit of their own.
"Alright, Mr. Cao, it's good that you know about this. You should prepare in secret." Shangguan Yue patted Cao Wen Shang's shoulder, and encouraged him.
After he returned to the capital, the current situation of the Great Yong, the Imperial Ancestor's caution, and the threat of Ma Dancheng made Shangguan Yue feel powerless. More importantly, Shangguan Yue had a sense of crisis in his heart, this sense of danger came from the Reincarnation Seal, and having obtained the Heavenly Void Mansion this time, it allowed him to have a clear understanding of this sense of danger.
The heavens' dao, the great dao, the great world, the reincarnation cycle, the Celestial Void Sect that possessed the Golden Immortal. As the inheritor of the Reincarnation Seal, Shangguan Yue still had a feeling that something was amiss.
Even a first-rate sect like the Celestial Emptiness Sect, with tens of thousands of ancient cultivators, had to avoid the tip of the sword and trap the cave to death. What was more, what was left of the ancient powers?
Shangguan Yue originally didn't have so many thoughts in his mind, but after seeing the Heavenly Void Mansion, he had already made up his mind.
The Great Yong Empire relied on a few royal ancestors and a reverends. This kind of power was nothing.
The unknown fear made Shangguan Yue constantly change. Now that the Great Yong was set, Shangguan Yue had no choice but to plan for the future.
After giving Cao Wenshang an explanation, Shangguan Yue came to the study room. The eighth prince had already sent over all the ancient books in the royal library. This was exactly what Shangguan Yue needed to know.
Chi Bai stood outside the study room, not even taking a single step out.
Outside the palace, the Crown Prince had come to pay a visit, but was blocked by the steward of the palace.
"Your Highness, the Prince has instructed me that I will not see anyone for the time being." The Head Supervisor pointed to the guest free sign on the door and carefully said with a face …
The Crown Prince frowned, "Presumably, Imperial Uncle is tired, so I will take my leave."
The Head Supervisor heaved a sigh of relief. Before he could enter, he saw the Third Prince's palanquin and immediately smiled wryly.
In the dark of the night, the Shura, dressed in dark red clothes, sat on top of the best restaurant in the Yang family bridge, which was located 30 miles away from the capital.
"Yue Ye Beautiful Wine, a beauty of the frost, drinking together, superior to her carefree self."
Ever since Shangguan Yue's Blood Shadow Avatar, this was the first time that the Shura had felt so good. It was great to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery when sitting alone.
"Brother, you have such an elegant feeling. You invited a cup to the moon alone, but your victory was leisurely and carefree. I wonder if I will be fortunate enough to drink a cup with you." A voice came from afar.
The Shura turned his head. On the other side of the rooftop stood a floating young master. He held a feather fan in his hand and looked extremely handsome.
"If you want to drink, then buy it yourself. I'm just a poor soul, what good wine can I buy you?" The Shura was unrestrained. He turned his head, pointed the wine jug at his mouth and took a big gulp.
"I was being rude, but I also happen to be a good drinker. I have some good wine with me, I wonder if I could show you some face?" The young master, on the other hand, did not recognize anyone as a stranger. He approached quietly and with a single glance, one could tell that he was no ordinary person.
"Drink your celestial wine, and I don't have any spirit stones to give you." The Shura frowned and gulped.
"Haha, you must be joking. It's my honor to be honored. My wine, Dugu Bai's, is not something that can be sold for spirit stones."
So this person's name was actually Dugu Bai.
"So it's the Thousand Li Chasing Incense, Dugu Bai Dugu gongzi." Shura was slightly surprised, but he immediately replied without any care.
Dugu Bai was a bit surprised. "You've heard of me?"
"The Thousand Li Chasing Incense Dugu Bai, Dugu Tianyue, two of the best rogue cultivators on the land of the Great Yong. Although my Asura has only been here for a few days, I'm not deaf. How could I not have heard of it?"
On the land of the Great Yong, they could be considered to be a famous figure among the rogue cultivators. How could the memorial corps not pay attention to them? Shangguan Yue had heard that the Second Elder had introduced the cultivators on the ground of the Great Yong, so the Shura naturally knew about it.
It was just that the Shura did not expect that he would meet this Thousand Li Chasing Fragrance here. This was rather interesting.
"So it's you, Asura sir. You are not a milord?" Lonely White asked curiously.
Shura, this name was indeed strange.
"Am I going to be a Dajun?" The Shura asked.
Lonely Snow laughed. "Please excuse me, Asura sir. Dugu Bai has no other intentions."
"I say, you're here to treat me to a drink, or are you here to investigate my background?" The Shura grumbled. Just as he was about to drink again, he discovered that he had finished the wine in the wine jug.
"Of course it's to treat Mister Asura. I was just passing by and found Mister Asura here, so I was curious and came over to take a look. I didn't expect to meet Mister Asura." Dugu Bai took out a wine gourd and tossed it over.
It was obvious that Dugu Bai had a magic treasure with him.
"No need for Teacher's words. Listening to the back of your ears, yes, it smells really good. Indeed, it is worthy of being called the Thousand Li Chasing Haze." The Shura opened his wine gourd and began to gulp down the wine.
Dugu Bai did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He had not chased after the wine's aroma with his Thousand Li Chilling Incense.
As he sat down beside the Shura, Dugu Bai also took out a wine gourd. As the wind blew past him, it was clear that he was not interested in drinking wine.
"Asura, I can see that you are a cultivator, but I can't see how high your cultivation base is. I don't know what type of cultivation technique you are cultivating, but I'm not sure if I can give you some pointers." After drinking a gourd of wine, Dugu Bai stood up and said seriously.
The Shura seemed very interesting.
"Every time you challenge him, you have to treat him to a drink first?"
Dugu Bai smiled. "That may not be the case. The fact that you're willing to let me buy you a drink will depend on my mood."
The Shura did not rise, but remained lying on the roof.
"This is such a good night. Fighting and killing, not good at all. Dugu Bai, you have such an elegant title, how could you do such an indecent thing. Mm, the wine is good, but your character is a bit worse."
Dugu Bai was truly amused. "Just based on your bad character, it seems like I can make a move now. Asura, let me see what you have cultivated."
Dugu Bai made his move. He slapped his wine gourd and it flew towards Shangguan Yue. The wine inside it turned into a sharp arrow, emitting a murderous air.
"My name is Asura, and my cultivation is naturally Luo." The Shura dissolved the sharp arrow with his palm and stood on the river with a flash.
"Such great luck! Breaking something like that wouldn't be good. Dugu Bai, don't think that I won't dare to beat you up just because you're treating me to a drink. You're looking for a beating."
Dugu Bai's expression grew heavy. The control the Asura had over his movements was extremely intricate.
"In that case, Dugu Bai will be enlightened."
