Chapter 1204: Lu Chen's Plan
The emperors of Qingyue Holy Land are certainly reluctant to be the first to strike against the Daxia Dynasty. Even though they are opponents of the Daxia Dynasty, Qingyue Holy Land would undoubtedly suffer significant losses.
They could potentially lose many emperors, and the tragedy of the four great dynasties of the Lingzhao Super Star Domain Group is a reminder, making them somewhat fearful of the Daxia Dynasty.
At this moment, the emperors in the grand hall began to discuss. Some were in favor of listening to the Lord of Qingyue and sending troops to attack the Daxia Dynasty, while others thought they should persuade the Lord of Qingyue further, to make him understand that the Daxia Dynasty is not so easy to deal with and hope that he would voluntarily give up.
Emperor Taikang did not speak immediately. He listened to the discussions of the emperors in the grand hall. After a while, the emperors had not come to a good solution. At this moment, they all looked at the silent Emperor Taikang in unison.
Emperor Taikang is the Saint Heir, the acting ruler of Qingyue Holy Land. Thus, whether to attack the Daxia Dynasty or not is up to him to decide.
Seeing that the hall had quieted down, Emperor Taikang finally spoke: "Since it is the ancestor's order, we must comply. Go and prepare, we will dispatch troops to the Daxia Dynasty in a month."
Upon seeing Emperor Taikang's decision, the emperors sighed one after another, not expecting that they still had to send troops to attack the Daxia Dynasty.
However, on second thought, there was no other way besides dispatching troops to the Daxia Dynasty now. At this time, even if they rebelled, they might not be able to overthrow the Lord of Qingyue.
If that old guy had an accident, he might drag the entire Qingyue Holy Land to destruction along with him.
After Emperor Taikang made his decision, the emperors left one by one. There was nothing left to discuss now, and as for the tactics to use against the Daxia Dynasty, there was even less to discuss, as they never actually believed they could win this war.
The emperors gradually left the hall. At this time, an emperor approached Emperor Taikang, "Saint Heir, are we really going to attack the Daxia Dynasty?"
Emperor Taikang sighed and said, "It is the ancestor's will."
The implication of Emperor Taikang's words was that they couldn't refuse the ancestor's order.
At this moment, Emperor Taikang continued, "Go and prepare, I know what to do."
Although they cannot defy the ancestor's order, dispatching troops and being able to defeat the Daxia Dynasty are two different things.
They would symbolically send out troops as if to complete a task. Expecting them to really go and attack the Daxia Dynasty was out of the question.
Upon hearing Emperor Taikang's words, the other emperors immediately understood his plan, which was also what they had in mind.
Since everyone thought the same, things became easier to handle.
...
Soon, the news of Qingyue Holy Land dispatching troops against the Daxia Dynasty spread throughout the entire Central Star Domain, and Lu Chen, who was in the Central Star Domain, also heard about it.
This left Lu Chen somewhat puzzled.
Qingyue Holy Land?
What kind of force is that?
What are they doing by dispatching troops against the Daxia Dynasty?
When did the Daxia Dynasty provoke them?
Later, Lu Chen sent people to investigate the major forces within the Central Star Domain, discovering that Qingyue Holy Land is an ancient holy land, much like other ancient holy lands. The Holy Land Master of Qingyue is likely a survivor from the previous era.
This allowed Lu Chen to basically guess why Qingyue Holy Land suddenly wanted to attack the Daxia Dynasty. Clearly, it was because that Lord of Qingyue was worried that Lu Chen would become the Heavenly Emperor too quickly, preceding him, so he dispatched troops from Qingyue Holy Land to restrict the expansion of the Daxia Dynasty.
Lu Chen didn't pay too much attention to this matter. Let them deploy troops if they will; what could an ancient holy land possibly do — it would merely add a few Ninth Layer emperors.
The number of Daxia Dynasty's emperors has already reached over a hundred. With the use of a Spirit Gathering Array, no Ninth Layer emperor could stand up to Lu Chen.
Red Rain World.
Lu Chen's clone sat by the river, holding a fishing rod in his hand, a piece of grass in his mouth, half-lying on the grassy riverside, feeling very leisurely.
Currently, this clone has only one purpose, to keep an eye on Yun Qingshu in the Red Rain World, observing her every move, and then find an opportunity to forcibly bring Yun Qingshu to the Tianchen World.
Lu Chen already had a plan in his heart. If he were to bring Yun Qingshu back to the Tianchen World, he couldn't use soft approaches. Given Yun Qingshu's attitude towards him, there was absolutely no way she would willingly go to the Tianchen World with him.
What Lu Chen had in mind was to use a Holy Tier Transmission Array, and at the right moment, directly push Yun Qingshu into the Holy Tier Transmission Array. It would only take an instant for them to reach the Tianchen World.
Once Yun Qingshu reached Tianchen World, escaping would be impossible for her. Only then would he slowly work on Yun Qingshu's temperament.
With the clone Yun Xianxian there, Lu Chen believed Yun Qingshu would quickly get accustomed to life in the Tianchen World.
Thinking of his plan, Lu Chen's mouth slightly lifted, but just then, a voice came from the woods beside him.
"Saint Heir, what are we doing here at this time?"
"The military movements need some time. We'll stay in the Red Rain World for a few days."
"As the Saint Heir says."
Hearing the conversation of the people in the woods, Lu Chen was curious.
Saint Heir, military movements?
Who is moving troops? And where are they moving to?
Could it be that they are planning to attack the Red Rain World?
The Red Rain World is currently controlled by the Mysterious Moon Palace, which is under Yun Qingshu's authority. Shouldn't such a peripheral small world in the Central Star Domain be of little concern, so why would someone come here?
While Lu Chen was feeling very puzzled, suddenly an emperor appeared near him. Without saying a word, that emperor unleashed a powerful aura, intending to kill Lu Chen to silence him.
Fortunately, at this moment, the voice of that middle-aged man from the woods said, "Forget it."
Upon hearing this, the emperor in front of Lu Chen immediately stopped. For an emperor, a saint was nothing more than an ant, who could be crushed at any time. Apparently, Emperor Taikang did not regard Lu Chen as anything of significance.
Lu Chen used his system to identify the middle-aged man who spoke just now, discovering that it was indeed the Saint Heir rumored to be from Qingyue Holy Land recently.
Lu Chen felt speechless, meeting the Saint Heir of Qingyue Holy Land in such a peripheral small world of the Central Star Domain?
This Saint Heir really knew how to pick a place.
Was he not supposed to be dispatching troops to attack the Daxia Dynasty — what was he doing in such a place?
Could it be that Emperor Taikang already knew about the relationship between Yun Qingshu and him, and wanted to capture Yun Qingshu, then use her against the Daxia Dynasty?
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Chen's expression darkened instantly, just as Longchuan Emperor in front of him said, "You, a small saint, do have some guts. Seeing me make a move, you weren't scared at all."
Longchuan Emperor had truly intended to clean the field by removing Lu Chen just now. If not for Emperor Taikang's intervention, Lu Chen would not be here now. Yet, this young saint did not bat an eye; if it had been any other saint, they would have been kneeling and begging for mercy by now.
