Chapter 626: 626
Bian City, Great Liang Imperial Palace . Emperor Liang was currently flipping through records in his study, his sharp brows tightly wrinkled .
“Your Majesty, now that the Most High Path has waned, the True Immortal Palace that Your Majesty had studied under has achieved their cherished wish of becoming the head of the Azure Dragon . Liangshan Continent’s myriad sects can already be said to have been intimidated . For centuries, no one has been able to threaten the Great Liang Imperial Family’s power . Your Majesty, what else is there that vexes you so?”
The door gently opened . A graceful man dressed in the robe of the national scholar and a black blindfold leisurely walked in . Though his eyes clearly could not see anything, they nevertheless could see very clearly through Emperor Liang’s preoccupation .
“National Scholar, you have recovered?” Emperor Liang’s brows smoothed out .
“Many thanks for the Queen Mother’s troubles, Your Humble Servant is finally well . But this pair of eyes nevertheless will never again see the light of day . ” The Great Liang Dynasty’s National Scholar Mo Shangxian slightly smiled .
His tall stature aside, the black blindfold upon his face gave him a slightly mysterious feel .
“Your Humble Servant was unable to protect the Along The River During Qingming and asks for Your Majesty’s punishment . ”
“How can this be blamed on you . Even We would have been helpless . ” Emperor Liang immediately stepped forward to help him up .
Li Taisui had waited until the White Tiger Demonkin had attacked the Great Liang Imperial Palace’s forbiddance, stolen the Along The River During Qingming, and released the Prehistoric Liao Emperor to bring about a disaster to the Treasure Banquet . But to personally see that old man’s power, Emperor Liang recognized that he had no chance facing an unfathomable Star Master with a top-notch Star General . Mo Shangxian’s strength was something Emperor Liang was very clear on .
Supervoid Cultivation and the usage of multiple Supervoid level puppets . Even with Mo Shangxian already doin his utmost, this was unable to stop them . However, this affair had more or less greatly besmirched the Zhao Clan’s prestige . Although no one dared say it aloud, gossip like this was not infrequent . Thus, Mo Shangxian had specifically not allowed Queen Mother of West Lun to heal his eyes, a form of self-punishment .
“But Lord National Scholar, even without using your eyes, you were still able to discern that We were vexed . ” Emperor Liang smiled .
“Your Majesty, whenever you are preoccupied, even the air becomes heavy . ” Mo Shangxian very earnestly answered .
Emperor Liang laughed . “It seems We must be more aware . ”
“Now that the Great Liang Dynasty and the True Immortal Hall are cooperation, pressuring the Azure Dragon Territory’s sects, the Great Liang Dynasty will definitely be unconcerned with state power for the next hundred years . What is Your Majesty worried about? Would you share with National Scholar?”
“National Scholar, you are very considerate . The most recent events have made Us feel troubled . ” Emperor Liang drew his arms behind him as he walked to the window and looked over the picturesque mountains and rivers .
“One after another, both the Treasure Banquet and the Alliance of Ten Conference both showed anomalies . Although We already control the influence of the entire Azure Dragon Territory’s sects, to see the Azure Dragon Territory bear a succession of losses, We are unable to be at ease . ”
“Your Majesty watches the nation and its people . You indeed are a blessing to this world and the people . ” Mo Shangxian said respectfully .
“Most recently, We have issued orders to spy on the Black Turtle, Vermilion Bird, and the White Tiger Territories . Today, We have received information that the Liao Emperor commands the White Tiger Territory’s Demonkin in Fengdu, again forming some kind of array . We fear that they harbor unfathomable motives . ”
The Prehistoric Liao Emperor was an expert in arrays . The array at the Crystal Dragon Palace made everyone realize her might . Since she utilized such a massive scale, her background must be significant . This indeed made Emperor Liang feel great danger .
“Fengdu was the capital of the White Tiger’s old Great Liao Kingdom . That place has the Six Paths Reincarnation Guardians . It is obvious there is no other way . ” Mo Shangxian shook his head .
To invade the center of the White Tiger Territory’s Demonkin, this was no different from bringing disaster upon oneself .
“Your Humble Servant may actually have an idea?”
“What idea?”
“If anyone in the world is capable of facing the Liao Emperor and that White Tiger Star Master, only the Purple Thunder Monster can succeed . If we can draw the Purple Thunder Monster into the White Tiger Territory, with his Star Generals’ natures, they would not sit idly by . Both sides will inevitably fall into a war . No matter who wins, we can sit back and be the fisherman who catches the snipe and the clam . ” Mo Shangxian said . The Purple Thunder Monster was currently like the sun in the sky in Liangshan Continent . Although it could be said he would someday inevitably scale Maiden Mountain, he was more or less a threat to the Ling Yan Princess’ prospects in the Star Duels .
If they could make the Purple Thunder Monster and the White Tiger Territory both suffer losses, then Ling Yan Princess Zhao Hanyan could take advantage of that . At that time, the Star Duels would belong to the Zhao Clan .
Although Mo Shangxian’s analysis was spot on, he nevertheless glossed over one detail – Zhao Hanyan and Su Xing had the Thousand Year Intertwined Contract . Between them, they shared joy and misfortune, harm and blessings; additionally, even without this relationship, Emperor Liang was very aware of his daughter’s deep feelings for Su Xing . At that time, never mind both sides suffering losses, even Zhao Hanyan could become collateral damage .
Emperor Liang did not want to cause trouble for his daughter, and he was also aware that Su Xing’s troubles were currently quite numerous . Maiden Mountain had apparently dispatched the previous Overlords to confront him, and he would perhaps not seek trouble .
“If the Liao Emperor appears, Thousand Buddha Star Chao Gai will not sit idly by . Let them resolve their hostilities themselves . ” Emperor Liang shook his head, not wanting to meddle with the Star Duels . “Besides, if there really is something, that Senior in the Great Circle Castle will mobilize…” When he sad this, Emperor Liang paused, then gazed at the faraway mountains in silence .
Even if he was acclaimed as the number one emperor in the Azure Dragon Territory, in the end, he was powerless . Even against a few top-notch Star Generals, he felt that his power was not enough .
His strength was far, far from enough .
Emperor Liang raised his head to gaze at that heaven-supporting pillar, Maiden Mountain .
He suddenly somewhat understood the significance of the Star Duels .
Perhaps this was a staircase to even greater power for Liangshan Continent’s cultivators . Emperor Liang reached out with his hand, covering Maiden Mountain in his tightly balled fist . The atmosphere instantly became even heavier .
Emperor Liang, who did not wish to involve his own daughter, would never have imagined that Zhao Hanyan was currently already infiltrating the White Tiger Territory alone . 1
