Chapter 946: Chapter 636: Negotiate with the Powers of Misty World?

Initially, Gu Qizheng had thought to win over the Misty Immortal Sect and together target the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, because all the first batch of disciples from the Linghu Sect and the Misty Immortal Sect had disappeared, while those from the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect were still around. It must have been the disciples from Ten Thousand Immortal Sect who were behind this.

Once it was confirmed as the work of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, the Linghu Sect and the Misty Immortal Sect would stand united. However, Bai Guangyu now told them that the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect and the Linghu Sect had been killing each other and were ultimately wiped out together by the Daxia Dynasty.

Although this sounded incredibly false, Baili Chen suddenly changed his statement at this time, no longer pursuing the responsibilities of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect and appearing as if he really believed what Bai Guangyu had said.

In light of this, how could Gu Qizheng not know what was really going on? It was very likely that the disciples from the Misty Immortal Sect had received a mission from their Sect, and upon entering the Tianchen World, they attacked the disciples from the Linghu Sect, underestimating their strength and ultimately leading to mutual destruction, and then they were all wiped out by the Daxia Dynasty.

The result was that while the snipe and the clam grappled, the fisherman reaped the benefit.@@novelbin@@

After thinking it over, Gu Qizheng realized that since their three major forces had already formed an alliance, although some unpleasant things had happened before, they could only be set aside after forming the alliance.

Moreover, now that the Misty Immortal Sect had turned traitor, he could not possibly involve the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect to confront the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect anymore; they could only let it be.

Anyway, the first batch of disciples from the Misty Immortal Sect had also disappeared, and once the constraints of the Misty World disappeared, it was up to their Elder and Sect Master to squabble over it; they needn’t bother with them anymore.

Now, the main task for their three great powers was to cleanse the disciples of other Sect forces in the Misty World.

Thinking of this, Gu Qizheng looked at Bai Guangyu and said, “Once the constraints disappear, I will relay your exact words to our Sect Master. Whether he believes it or not is his business.”

Bai Guangyu gave a light smile, showing an expression of utter indifference.

…

Half a month later.

Yan County.

Hall of Political Affairs.

Today was another Great Court Assembly, and the key point of discussion for today’s assembly was addressing the invaders from the Misty World.

At this moment, Li Rui stood in the center of the main hall and said, “The invaders from the Misty World have been recklessly slaughtering our people of the Great Sum and occupying our lands, particularly those civilians near the Misty World who live in constant fear, unable to attain peace of mind. Your Majesty, I believe we can no longer allow these invaders to continue their unrestrained actions.”

As Li Rui’s voice fell, a minister spoke up, “I also think we cannot allow these invaders to continue tormenting the people of the Great Sum, but with the current strength of our nation, I fear it is quite challenging to confront the invaders from the Misty World.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen’s gaze immediately fell on that minister.

The next moment, the identity information of this minister appeared before Lu Chen.

[Name: Huang Minghui]

[Identity: Minister of the Household Department of the Daxia Dynasty, who, after being deceived by the disciple Lei Wende of the Linghu Sect, believes that the Daxia Dynasty is beyond saving, thus he chose to join the Linghu Sect.]

[Strength: Eighth Rank]

[Loyalty: 10]

Seeing Huang Minghui’s information, Lu Chen’s lips curled slightly upward, saying to himself that releasing Lei Wende had been useful.

Not long after Lei Wende was released, the corrupt officials in the court began to reveal themselves.

Lu Chen also had some understanding of Huang Minghui, given that they both had been Ministers of the Household Department.

Huang Minghui was a minister who had come from the old Capital city of the Great Sum. Initially, he was quite loyal to Lu Chen, with loyalty around sixty, and later his loyalty even increased to around seventy to eighty, which is precisely why he was able to climb to his position as Minister of the Household Department.

Lu Chen glanced at Huang Minghui and said indifferently, “Then, in Minister Huang’s opinion, what should we do?”

Huang Minghui said, “I believe we should send envoys to negotiate with the various forces of the Misty World and establish good relations with those forces.”

At this point, Li Rui said, “Minister Huang’s ideas seem rather naive. The invaders from Misty World want our land. By establishing good relations with them, wouldn’t we have to cede land to them?”

Huang Minghui said, “At the end of the day, those forces from the Misty World are just some sect forces. Even if we give them some land, it won’t affect the Daxia Dynasty.”

“Moreover, the sect forces of Misty World are particularly strong. If Your Majesty could win them over, the strength of Daxia would climb to a new level.”

Lu Chen said with a smile, “Minister Huang’s idea aligns closely with my thoughts. I indeed think we should maintain good relations with the forces of Misty World.”

Seeing that Lu Chen had spoken so, Li Rui had no choice but to keep quiet, but he felt that Lu Chen probably didn’t think this way. He had just taken the initiative to oppose the invaders because he sensed that the Emperor had developed a murderous intent towards them.

Now, the Emperor was saying that he wanted to live harmoniously and maintain good relations with the invaders of Misty World. How could that be possible?

They were invading your world, killing people on your land, and you still say you want to maintain good relations with those forces. Li Rui didn’t believe Lu Chen was that kind of emperor.

Having followed Lu Chen since he was the North Prince, he understood him too well. Lu Chen would definitely take action against those invaders.

At this time, Lu Chen asked, “Does any other minister think we should negotiate?”

Then, another minister stood out, “Your Majesty, I also think we should negotiate with the forces from Misty World. It is an opportunity for the Daxia Dynasty.”

Subsequently, more ministers came forward. Since Lu Chen himself agreed with negotiation, they no longer needed to hide their true thoughts.

Initially, many ministers thought it unwise to conflict with the forces from Misty World, especially those who knew about Misty World. They believed that Daxia facing Misty World in strength would definitely not yield good results.

But thinking of Lu Chen’s personality—the Emperor who held absolute authority in this world, with more power than any other recorded in the history of the world—no one dared speak words of negotiation in front of Emperor Lu Chen.

They were afraid of angering Lu Chen.

Now that Lu Chen had agreed to negotiations, they could drop the pretense.

At this moment, Lu Chen glanced at the ministers in the hall who agreed with negotiation. Among these ministers, there were many loyal ones, but most were indecisive opportunists; many ministers’ loyalty had already dropped below thirty.

Clearly, they didn’t hold Daxia in high regard in their hearts. Indeed, many ministers were already contemplating surrender or joining the forces from the Misty World.

Lu Chen then said, “Since all ministers believe we should negotiate, I’ll ask you to make a trip on my behalf.”

“I have a basic understanding of which forces have entered our world. You are to meet the representatives of those forces on my behalf and convey my willingness to sit down and negotiate. However, there are many forces in Misty World, so I need to sit down with all their forces for the negotiations.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, for some reason, the ministers present felt something was odd.

Negotiating all together with the powers of Misty World?

Was it really a negotiation?

If it was a negotiation, wouldn’t the forces from Misty World take advantage of this opportunity to divide up the Daxia Dynasty?

Considering this, the ministers looked towards Zhuge Zhongguang, hoping he would speak and advise Lu Chen.

However, Zhuge Zhongguang just sat quietly, motionless, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
