Chapter 183 One Against Three
"Your subject dares to ask to borrow Zhengzhong Tower for one day. We will hold a competition tomorrow and make those Tiance Palace disciples dare not underestimate us!"
"Alright, I'll lend you my manpower. If you need anything else, just ask. You must bring glory to our Moyun Kingdom in tomorrow's competition!"
Putting everything else aside, that disciple named Bai Ke is clearly not someone to be trifled with. If necessary, we may resort to extreme measures. Do you understand?
"But, Father, both sides will be present for tomorrow's competition. If we win dishonorably under the watchful eyes of everyone, we will be criticized and despised by the disciples of their Tian Ce Palace and even by all the cultivators in the entire Heavenly Domain. It would be a great loss."
"All that talk of being upright and honorable is a lie, and you actually believed it. The winner takes all and the loser is condemned; that's an ironclad rule that has remained unchanged since ancient times."
Winning is winning, regardless of the means; losing is losing, regardless of the reason.
"A person needs to be flexible and adaptable. If your father had followed those rigid principles back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't be on this throne now."
"Yes... I understand!"
"Yes, this is my son! You may leave now. I have some official business to discuss with the Grand Councilor."
"Your son takes his leave!" After saying this, the second prince walked out of the main hall, glancing at his father and the Grand Councilor before leaving.
Seeing that his son had left, the king then turned to the other person standing below. "Yu Sheng, do you know your crime?" Yu Sheng was the name of the Grand Councilor.
Upon hearing the king's words, the Grand Councilor immediately knelt down and trembled as he spoke to the king:
"Your Majesty, I know my crime, and I deserve to die ten thousand times. It is all my fault for failing in my duties. My bribery of Elder Ding was discovered by the people of Tian Ce Palace, and it almost implicated Your Majesty."
But I beg Your Majesty, in consideration of my unwavering loyalty and the many years I have served you, to forgive me this time. I promise that such a thing will never happen again!
"Alright, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" The minister stood up again as if he had survived a disaster and thanked the person at the head of the table.
"If it weren't for your loyalty and usefulness, I wouldn't have spared you. Regardless of how this competition goes, you should go into hiding for a while. I will have someone handle the remaining horse tracks."
If this really comes to light, say you fled to avoid punishment. After they leave and the matter becomes public knowledge, you can change your identity, re-enter the palace, and serve me again!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Alright, stop with the luggage. You can go now. I'm not feeling well and need to rest."
"Yes! Your humble servant will also take his leave!" Na Yusheng turned and withdrew, the king's words just now finally putting a weight off his heart. But he did not see the gloomy look in the king's eyes as he watched him leave.
The four seas of the Mountain and Sea Realm have been peaceful for a long time, but now there are undercurrents surging in both the Heavenly Domain to which the Heavenly Strategy Palace belongs and the other two domains.
In this time when all creatures roam freely under the frosty sky, what unchanging hierarchy or sovereign is there? It's nothing more than the survival of the fittest.
I heard that the arrogant young man in the court today is the best of the younger generation in their Tian Ce Palace, but in his eyes he's nothing special.
Young people are the true foundation of any power. The Tian Ce Palace enjoys the offerings of many subordinate forces but does not strive for progress. It is no wonder that they are coveted by others.
To be honest, he wasn't incapable of suppressing the zombie outbreak in Anning Village; a mere remnant of an ancient cultivator was hardly worth his attention.
What troubled him more was the upcoming election of the new Holy Son of Tian Ce Palace. The future of a faction depended on his successor.
He painstakingly orchestrated the incident in Anning Village to draw the attention of the disciples of Tian Ce Palace, all in order to attract the attention of the true old immortals of Tian Ce Palace.
Fortunately, everything is still unfolding according to plan, as long as we figure out the true nature of Tian Ce Palace this time.
In addition to the settlement and development of their Moyun Kingdom over the years, as well as the various forces that conspired with them to overthrow the rule of Tiance Palace, the demise of Tiance Palace is not far off.
Reaching out to stroke the ferocious and terrifying statue behind him, a barely perceptible black light flashed in the eyes of the King of Moyun Kingdom.
"Mountain and Sea Realm...Are you ready?" A cold, mocking laugh echoed in the empty hall, but no sound came out, as if it were dead silence.
The following day, in the same spacious and luxurious palace of the Mo Yun Kingdom, the civil and military officials of the Mo Yun Kingdom stood in their respective positions, except for the Grand Councilor from the previous day, who was nowhere to be found.
Bai Ke, accompanied by his subordinates from the Tian Ce Palace, appeared leisurely in front of the Regent's Hall of Mo Yun Kingdom, having arrived here from the post station in an instant.
Ignoring the flock of bewildered quails, Bai Ke turned and bowed deeply to the elder who was silently following behind the group.
"Today, I have brought glory to my Tian Ce Palace. I thank the elders for their assistance and will certainly live up to the sect's expectations!"
This taciturn elder, resembling Bai Yan, didn't even blink, but instead transmitted his thoughts to Bai Ke:
"It's alright. The great changes in Moyun Kingdom need to be dealt with properly. Junior Nephew Bai, please go ahead and do as you please, just remember not to go too far. I still need to investigate what exactly happened."
Bai Ke nodded in deep agreement. The fact that the usually obedient King Moyun dared to challenge the Tian Ce Palace must mean something major had happened.
However, after thinking for a while, Bai Ke smiled and said that if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. He should leave this matter to the elders to handle. He only needed to deal with these quails.
Stepping into the Regent's Hall of the Mo Yun Kingdom, Bai Ke glanced mockingly at the Mo Yun Kingdom ministers who were stunned by their bizarre entrance, and then asked:
"Yesterday I heard that the King of Moyun Kingdom spoke with great certainty that he wanted to compete with the disciples of my Tiance Palace. Regardless of the reason, as the sect's chief disciple, Bai Ke should set an example for his junior brothers and sisters."
Bai Ke looked up at the luxurious sect hall, pointed to the dragon throne beneath the King of Moyun, and continued:
"Yesterday's agreement still stands, but Bai Ke would like to make a slight modification. Your country will send three people, and Bai Ke will fight them all. If I win, I would like to ask Your Majesty to bestow upon me a throne as a congratulatory gift!"
After saying that, Bai Ke smiled and looked at the King of Moyun, whose face was flushed red, or more precisely, at the throne beneath him.
Before King Moyun could say anything, a middle-aged man in official robes stepped forward from below, pointed at Bai Ke, and shouted angrily, "You brat, you've gone too far..."
Before he could finish speaking, his head suddenly rolled off, and a thin, paper-like card flew into Bai Ke's hand.
"Shut up! Do you even have the right to speak here?" Bai Ke muttered casually.
