Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 95 Sending Yanzhou to that prince consort

Wuchen had already planned out the layout he needed.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

I want you to indulge him and let him grow up, and then transfer him to Yanzhou.

Furthermore, we must encourage Wei Qing, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, to become closer to him.

Snowflakes, incredulous, exclaimed, "Huh?"

"Just do as I say, and I have my own plans..."

Although Xue Mantian was puzzled, he nodded nonetheless.

Now that he has power, all he wants is to live longer in the future, and even the Hidden Clan bloodline that Wuchen mentioned at the end.

After he agreed, Wuchen drifted away and headed to the Chu King's Palace.

Soon, the King of Chu personally met with him.

"It's been a long time, Master, you still look as dashing as ever..."

Wuchen's lips curled up slightly, forming a faint smile.

On the surface, he was just an ordinary Taoist priest, but in reality, he was far more complex than that. Throughout this vast continent, his Taoist temples could be seen standing in every prefecture.

Since Tianhai fled, the entire vast empire has begun to convert to Taoism.

Taoist priests were keen on refining elixirs in pursuit of immortality, and this trend quickly spread.

Wuchen, using the alias Tongxuanzi, became a highly credible figure in the eyes of many thanks to his eternally youthful and handsome appearance.

To put it bluntly, the Taoist temple run by Wuchen was nothing more than a pill shop, at most a bit more upscale.

When the King of Chu saw Wuchen arrive, his face was naturally full of smiles, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

After all, who doesn't yearn for immortality?

Looking back ten years, Wuchen was just a naive and immature young man; but time flies, and ten years have passed in a flash. Now, Wuchen still looks like the young man he was back then, without any signs of the ravages of time.

The King of Chu treated him with considerable respect.

The two entered the hall and immediately began exchanging pleasantries:

"It's been many years, and the Taoist priest is still as carefree as ever..."

"Your Highness is still young and vigorous; my travels cannot compare to Your Highness's freedom..."

"Haha, what's with all this talk of freedom? If I had a choice, I'd want to be like Daoist Tongxuanzi..."

King Chu had no regrets about taking this path. It was this little brat who told him back then that he had the aura of an emperor.

The old emperor's great favor towards him fueled his ambition.

Now that he has suffered a crushing defeat, the King of Chu only wants to remain in a corner of the country.

Last time, Yue Shan gave him a psychological trauma.

A force of 100,000 against 30,000 was decisively defeated, and the trained experts were utterly useless.

He still harbored some resentment towards Wuchen.

That's right, the people he trained all reached the Grandmaster level by taking Wuchen's medicine.

But there's a saying: "Drinking poison to quench thirst."

Now that Wuchen has finally returned, he will naturally continue to drink Wuchen's poison.

"Your Highness is indeed magnanimous. However, when I was traveling through Yongzhou, I saw Your Highness's navy raiding Yongzhou tribute ships. I imagine Your Highness may have gained quite a bit..."

Hearing him talk about this, the King of Chu was displeased.

"If Liu Lian hadn't suddenly appeared, we might have already successfully intercepted them all. Unfortunately, we were out of luck!"

Wu Chen smiled faintly and said, "This matter is nothing. Now that Your Highness has suffered a great defeat, I have a suggestion. I wonder if Your Highness would be interested in hearing it..."

The King of Chu became interested: "Oh, Daoist Master, you also understand the general trend of the world? I would like to hear more about it."

Wu Chen smiled slightly and gently waved his whisk, saying, "Now that Your Highness is trapped in a corner, why not seek outside help?"

The King of Chu frowned: "Yuzhou is located by the sea, how can it receive any external aid?"

Wuchen gently raised his whisk and pointed it westward.

"The Valley God Sect of Leizhou! When I passed by earlier, I heard that the Valley God Sect had been taken over by the Crown Prince's daughter, Gu Qinghan, which means that the Crown Prince will soon return to the east."

"If Your Highness could allow the Crown Prince to reside in Yan Prefecture, then Yan Prefecture and Yu Prefecture could form an alliance to jointly conquer Lei Prefecture, and Your Highness's siege would be lifted in an instant."

The King of Chu's lips twitched.

Yanzhou is a place I've planned to take over for many years. Now I have to give it to the Crown Prince?

He was completely unwilling, but now that he was trapped in Yuzhou, he did not have the courage to fight Yueshan.

With Yue Shan's army training daily and the Shen family building ships to provide full support, if he didn't take action, he would inevitably face certain death.

Thinking of this, the King of Chu immediately had an answer: "Let me think about this some more."

Wu Chen nodded: "When I passed through Leizhou, I seemed to see Wei Qing, the Commander of the Imperial Guard..."

The King of Chu was puzzled as to why Wuchen had brought this up, and was about to ask him.

Wuchen smiled and said, "It's getting late, Your Highness. Please rest early. I must go elsewhere..."

After saying that, Wuchen waved his hand and teleported away.

The King of Chu was taken aback, feeling somewhat annoyed.

Where is the King of Hell?

Yama, the personal eunuch of the King of Chu.

He is a mid-stage Grandmaster and holds the position of Director of the Impermanence Department.

He was the King of Chu's top bodyguard and an absolute confidant.

I watched him grow up.

The fact that he was given the title of "King" shows that the King of Chu respected him greatly.

"Your Highness?"

The King of Chu sighed: "Do you know when he left?"

King Yama frowned and said, "I cannot see through Tong Xuanzi's magic. He comes and goes as he pleases, as if he were a god."

The King of Chu nodded: "Never mind him. You've heard it, so let's begin the arrangements."

"Yes, this old servant understands..."

"By the way, where is Ji Yingying?"

The King of Hell laughed, "She's cooperating with the navy to cut off Yue Shan's supply lines."

"Where is Wei Qing, the Commander of the Imperial Guard?"

"Does Your Highness intend for Ji Yingying to capture Wei Qing?"

The King of Chu nodded silently.

"We need to capture her to negotiate with Yue Shan. Even if it's just a delaying tactic, it's necessary."

The Ji family of Yanzhou should also be destroyed as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, last time Bai Qi and his group encountered Gu Qinghan, who then sent Bai Qi along with the envoy to Taikang County to negotiate an alliance with the Crown Prince.

Yama nodded silently: "Does Your Highness really intend to give Yanzhou to the Crown Prince?"

The King of Chu rubbed his head: "Let's get out of this predicament first. As for Yan Province..."

Thinking of this, he said firmly, "No! If we're going to give it, we'll give it to that prince consort. I don't believe he won't be tempted! When the siege of Yueshan is lifted, the crown prince and he will inevitably clash over the exchange of power."

We still have an opportunity.

The King of Hell bowed his head to receive the order.

The King of Chu continued, "The attempt to sow discord within the Yue family must continue. I don't believe my eighth brother can trust the Yue family so much forever."

"Yes, Your Highness..."

. . .

On the other side, after arranging these things, Wuchen went to find someone to inform Ji Canghai.

Ji Canghai had just returned to Leizhou and was preparing to take a boat to Yanzhou to see his father, who was dying.

Wuchen planned to tell him Ji Yingying's location after he finished seeing his father.

After completing a series of arrangements, Wuchen headed to Kunlun in the west, wanting to see if Ning Hongye had set off yet.

Having received the death order and the map, Ning Hongye was determined to go to the Illusionary Realm.

Thinking of this, Wuchen smiled.

Once she kills Gu Feixue and learns everything, she'll definitely go crazy.

Will Gu Qinghan and Xu Tianyi sever ties with her because of this?

Finally, I had Xu Tianyi separate from Gu Qinghan and Wei Qing.

Then Yue Shan will also be...

Um...am I being a little mean...?

No, for the sake of my great cause of saving the world, these are all minor matters. Just bear with them and they'll pass.

Wuchen happily rested and recovered his magical power.

The teleportation distance is too far; it still needs to cool down.
