Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Upon hearing the voice of the female guard at the door, Lu Chen immediately said, "Come in."

The next moment, Liang Zong entered the Imperial Study Room.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen spoke indifferently, "Dispense with the formalities. What's the situation in Black Dragon City?"

Liang Zong's recent work had been focused on monitoring the movements of the Linghu Sect, and since he had come, that meant those from Linghu Sect must be stirring.

Liang Zong immediately handed over the intelligence report in his hand to Lu Chen and then said, "The Linghu Sect has sent people to Yan County, and they are inquiring everywhere about the whereabouts of Great Sum Celestials, apparently intending to visit these Celestials and win them over."

Hearing this, Lu Chen let out a laugh.

They want to win over his people?

How ludicrous.

Lu Chen then opened the envelope brought by Liang Zong and glanced at the intelligence inside.

At this time, Liang Zong asked, "Your Majesty, should we just eliminate those people directly?"

Lu Chen said, "Those who have come are masters of the Unity Realm, I'm afraid that you of the Brocade Guard are not their match."

Hearing this, Liang Zong felt somewhat ashamed; although he had become a Grandmaster himself, there was still a significant difference between a Grandmaster and a Pseudo Celestial.

Moreover, the Brocade Guard didn't have many Grandmasters at present, most were not even Grandmasters, so if the Brocade Guard were tasked with dealing with those disciples from the Linghu Sect, naturally, they wouldn't have the strength.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then said, "I've thought of something interesting."

"Try to arrange for someone to contact the disciples of the Linghu Sect, claiming you are the disciples of a certain Celestial, and that your master is very interested in their Linghu Sect."

Hearing this, Liang Zong instantly understood Lu Chen's intent; Lu Chen planned to lure all those disciples of the Linghu Sect and then capture them in one fell swoop.

Liang Zong immediately bowed and said, "Understood. I will see to it immediately."

Lu Chen said, "There's no rush, take your time with this matter. If you act too hastily, it might arouse their suspicion."

If Liang Zong and his people were too eager, the disciples of the Linghu Sect would surely become alert. Such a matter needed a certain degree of deliberate withholding to succeed.

Liang Zong immediately responded, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will handle this matter well."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and continued, "Do this: have the Brocade Guard spread the rumor that I've recently had a falling out with President Mu, and that President Mu is contemplating leaving Yan County to retreat into the solitude of the mountains."

"All right, you may go attend to your duties."

Since those from the Linghu Sect wanted to win over the Celestials of this world, then might as well actively create the opportunity for them. Once they hear that the Emperor has had a falling out with a Celestial, they will definitely send someone to contact Mu Hongguang immediately.

Liang Zong immediately grasped Lu Chen's meaning, "I will take care of it right away." Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

"I shall take my leave."

Liang Zong then left the Imperial Study Room and swiftly carried out Lu Chen's orders. By the afternoon, the streets and alleys were already abuzz with rumors about the Emperor Your Majesty and Mu Hongguang's fallout.

Yan County, the old city.

In a tavern, there were some men dressed in strange attire; from their clothes, it was clear that they were not locals of Yancheng.

Their accents didn't sound like those from Yan County either. These men were very bold, drinking and chatting in the tavern as if they didn't care at all about whether someone might discover their identities.

At this moment, at the table next to these men, some people were discussing something.

"Hey, hey, have you heard? Our Emperor has fallen out with that Celestial from Taichu Academy."

"Really? What could their conflict be about?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's because the Emperor promised him something, and then Taichu Divine Hall sided with His Majesty. Now that the world is united, perhaps His Majesty didn't keep his original promise."

"I don't believe it. His Majesty couldn't possibly be that kind of person!"

"In my opinion, it's that head of Taichu Academy whose ambitions are too great. He wants too much, and His Majesty couldn't satisfy him, which is why they've fallen out."

"Exactly, that must be it."

"What are we going to do then? If this Celestial has fallen out with His Majesty, won't that likely lead to another war?"

"It's just one Celestial, what is there to worry about? His Majesty's power has far surpassed that of any Celestial by now."

...

After overhearing the conversation from the next table, a disciple of Linghu Sect was taken aback, and at that moment, Meng Tian immediately gave a gesture to one of the disciples to go over.

The disciple quickly sat down at that table and then said with a smile, "How do you know that His Majesty has fallen out with the Celestial from Taichu Academy? It couldn't be just rumors you heard somewhere, could it?"

Upon hearing this, the person who brought up the matter couldn't help it and immediately said loudly, "How could it be rumors? The Emperor has already dismissed the President of Taichu Academy. The afternoon newspapers are all talking about it; this clearly must be true."

Seeing how agitated that person was, the disciple from Linghu Sect just smiled faintly and then said, "Well, even if that's true, how do you know that His Majesty's strength is stronger than that of the Celestials?"

The person replied, "Isn't that obvious? If not for His Majesty himself taking to the field, how could he possibly have defeated the kingdoms of Great Jue and Great Qian with their Formations? And if His Majesty's power weren't strong enough, why would those Celestials have sided with Him?"

"So His Majesty's power must be far superior to that of those Celestials. Only then can He keep those Celestials in check."

The disciple from Linghu Sect smiled faintly, "You make some sense."

With that, the disciple from Linghu Sect didn't waste any more time talking nonsense with them and turned directly to the table where the disciples from Linghu Sect were sitting.

At that time, a disciple of Linghu Sect said to Meng Tian, "Brother Meng, what do you think? Should we try to win over this Celestial who has fallen out with the Sum Emperor next?"

Meng Tian's lips curved up slightly, and then he said with a smile, "The heavens are really handing us opportunities. We just arrived in Yan County, and the Sum Emperor has already had a fallout with one of the Celestials. If we can win over this Celestial, maybe we can directly eliminate the entire Great Sum."

Another disciple from Linghu Sect then said, "Brother Meng, I always feel there's some truth to what those mortals said. The Sum Emperor must be no simple character, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to keep so many Celestials under control."

Meng Tian said dismissively, "No matter how formidable, what can he do? The world's Spiritual Energy is thin; even if he is at the Tenth Layer of Heavenly Man, he can only display the strength of two or three layers at most."

"If we can win over the Celestials by his side, and then combine them with the Formations of Linghu Sect, killing him would be effortless."

Hearing Meng Tian's words, the disciples of Linghu Sect all nodded their heads, feeling that he made a lot of sense.

They all became excited for a moment, not expecting their luck to be so good. They had just arrived in Yan County, and they encountered the Sum Emperor falling out with a Celestial.

If they could eliminate the Sum Emperor and then support another Puppet Emperor, would not the whole of Great Sum fall into the hands of Linghu Sect?
