“No, you misunderstood. If we succeed, I will make you the master of this entire region,” Zhao Fu said as he smiled.

Wu Yang hadn’t expected this at all and was unable to react for a while. If Zhao Fu was willing to make him the master of this region, he would be the most powerful player in this region.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” After coming back to his senses, Wu Yang quickly bowed to Zhao Fu.

In actuality, there was a reason for Zhao Fu doing this. First, Wu Yang already controlled a decent player faction, and if Great Qin could control it and support it, it would be quite easy for it to become the most powerful faction in this region and become a cornerstone for Great Qin here.

Of course, the core of this faction would be controlled by Great Qin – Zhao Fu wouldn’t trust Wu Yang so much just because of something like this. After all, it was still possible that he could betray Zhao Fu. Nevertheless, having his wife and daughter under his control would be an excellent way to keep him in check.

“That’s all for now. Go and prepare, and I will also send people to take your wife and daughter to the Ying family.” Now that they had reached an agreement, Zhao Fu wanted to quickly put this plan into action.

At that moment, Wu Yang suddenly thought of something and said, “Your Majesty, there’s something that I feel you should know.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fu motioned for Wu Yang to continue speaking.

After this, Wu Yang took out two talisman papers and handed them to Zhao Fu before saying, “Your Majesty, the Chai family has recently been buying many of these two types of talisman papers and spent a great deal of money on buying a formation.”

After looking at these two talisman papers and listening to Wu Yang, Zhao Fu felt that something was off. However, he didn’t show a reaction before leaving the room.

After returning to the Great Qin City, Zhao Fu called Guo Binglin and asked him to investigate this matter.

Zhao Fu felt that something was amiss as these two types of talisman papers, Evil-Warding Talismans and Spirit-Protecting Talismans, were great counters to Dark Ghost World.

However, because the Hundred Ghost Illusionists were all above Stage 1, these normal talismans were completely ineffective against Dark Ghost World.

What Zhao Fu was curious about was why Later Zhou was preparing these two types of talismans. After thinking about it, Zhao Fu guessed that it was because they had predicted Great Qin’s attack, so they started to prepare now to resist Great Qin.

However, the only ones who knew about Great Qin’s Dark Ghost World were the factions that they had destroyed. Now that Later Zhou was making such arrangements, could it be that they were working together?

A while later, Guo Binglin returned and reported in a serious manner, “Your Majesty, this subordinate found that many factions have been secretly buying things that suppress illusions and massive beast.”

After hearing this, Zhao Fu’s expression also became serious. His power in the Heaven Awaken World was limited, and because he was unable to gather detailed intelligence on some things, he returned to the real world.

After returning to the real world, he was surprised to see a man wearing a suit already waiting for him.

“Greetings, proxy family leader, my name is Mu Guilin, and I am in charge of the Ying family’s intelligence reports,” the man said.

Zhao Fu nodded as he asked, “What is it?”

Mu Guilin handed over a stack of documents and said, “Proxy family leader, the other family leaders wanted me to give you these files. Nearly 80% of the factions in the northern side of the Midland Continent have allied together against Great Qin.

“Moreover, they are led by the strategist of the School of Vertical and Horizontal’s Vertical Branch, so the family leaders wanted to warn Great Qin’s Legatee about this to prevent anything from happening to him.”

After hearing this, Zhao Fu’s expression became extremely grim. He had wanted to use the Ying family’s resources to find out more information about this situation, but the Ying family had already known about this and looked into it. Zhao Fu sat on a sofa and read through the documents that Mu Guilin had handed over before he coldly harrumphed, “They all want to die! I’ll report this to Great Qin’s Legatee. Also, sent people to secretly go to this location. Bring these two people back and give them a proper living space.”

Zhao Fu wrote down a location and two names on a sheet of paper and handed it to Mu Guilin.

Mu Guilin looked at it and nodded before leaving the villa.

Wu Yang’s wife and daughter were currently with the Chai family, so they had to quickly and secretly bring them to the Ying family’s residence as soon as possible. Moreover, even if many factions were allying against Great Qin, he was still determined to attack Later Zhou.

Just as Zhao Fu was preparing to return to the Heaven Awaken World, his phone rang, and he saw that it was Wu Qingniang. As such, he picked it up and asked, “Qingniang, did something happen?”

Wu Qingniang’s earnest voice said from the phone, “Of course something big happened; you probably know by now, right? Almost the entire northern side of the Midland Continent is allying together against Great Qin’s Legatee; do you know if he has any way to deal with this?”

Now that Zhao Fu had become Great Qin’s Legatee’s representative, Wu Qingniang became even more concerned about Great Qin’s Legatee’s affairs. After all, this would not only help Zhao Fu but also help herself. If the Wu family could receive Great Qin’s Legatee’s help, it would be a great opportunity for them.

Wu Qingniang was certain that she wouldn’t be able to surpass Great Qin’s Legatee, so if she received Great Qin’s Legatee’s help, she and Zhao Fu could rebuild Great Zhou. Having fulfilled such an important responsibility, she would be incredibly satisfied.

Now, because of Zhao Fu, the Wu family was somewhat connected to Great Qin. After hearing about this, Wu Qingniang couldn’t help but feel worried and had waited in the real world all this time for Zhao Fu.

“I’m not too sure, but I’m sure he has his plans!” Zhao Fu could only reply like this because he still wasn’t sure as to what he was going to do.

When she heard this, Wu Qingniang then said seriously, “Also, Zhao Fu, the Wu family will stand behind you and be able to help you. Great Qin’s Legatee is too bloodthirsty and quite dangerous, so I’m quite worried that he might kill you at any moment. Please be careful when doing things for him.”

When he heard Wu Qingniang, Zhao Fu chuckled – why would he kill himself? However, he still felt quite touched by Wu Qingniang’s words and replied, “Alright, I’ll be careful in the future then. I have some things to do, so I’ll be heading into the Heaven Awaken World now.”

Hearing Zhao Fu’s chuckle, Wu Qingniang felt quite annoyed, but she still said goodbye and hung up.

After returning to the Heaven Awaken World, Zhao Fu told his subordinates about the various factions allying against Great Qin and had a discussion with them. All of them had serious expressions on their faces – after all, dealing with so many factions would be quite a headache.

At the same time, Zhao Fu started gathering his troops again. There was no rush for this because Wu Yang would want to wait until his wife and daughter were safe and his safety was guaranteed. As such, Zhao Fu could only gather his soldiers and make preparations for now.
