King Ye said, “Ye Chen, this child, is still very ambitious. Thanks to Prince Wen’s guidance, his martial arts talent is decent, and now he can barely hold his own.”

Chen Qing smiled and said, “After Ye Chen returns to the human realm, he will definitely give King Ye a big surprise.”

King Ye asked, “What surprise might that be?”

Chen Qing replied, “When he returns to the human realm, King Ye will know.”

Chen Qing looked towards King Li and said, “Li Shang, this young man, has some insights into military strategy. I intend to let him lead the Wen Country’s army to destroy the Water Country. What does King Li think?”

King Li said, “Li Shang is only thirty-three years old. Can he really bear such a heavy burden of destroying a country?”

Chen Qing said, “No matter, with me here, everything is within the plan.”

“Even if something goes awry, I will personally intervene.”

King Li gradually sensed Chen Qing’s swelling ambition. After discussing the division of the Dragon Palace, Chen Qing clearly no longer concealed his covetousness for the land of the Water Country.

Moreover, King Li also felt the pressure. If Li Shang truly destroyed the Water Country and returned to court with the power of a nation-destroying hero, if he wanted his father to inherit the throne, who in the royal family would dare say a word against it?

With an entire nation defeated by Li Shang, who would dare obstruct his future succession to the throne?

King Li said, “Li Shang’s father now has much free time. I plan to let him take charge of the Li Country’s military power, but he is not proficient. Could he train under Prince Wen for a while?”

Chen Qing said, “Go to the South Sea, assist in constructing the South Sea Dragon Palace.”

“In the future, during the country’s destruction, Li Shang will be the commander. If his father were to serve under him, it might be inappropriate, so it’s better for him to train in the South Sea.”

King Li said, “Then many thanks to Prince Wen.”

King Ye said, “Since we’ve discussed this, we should also talk about the matter of the Death Realm. What arrangements does Prince Wen have?”

Chen Qing said, “Although there are many Foundation Establishment cultivators under my command, most are of the production type and have no family, mostly Loose Cultivators, lacking foundation.”

“When you two return to your countries, you should quickly assemble a Foundation Establishment army to enter the Death Realm and assist Li Shang and Ye Chen in quelling the rebellion. As for the King of Qi, I will inform him as well.”

King Ye said, “Does Prince Wen intend to make the world think he is anxious and fears the war may fail?”

Chen Qing nodded, “Indeed, apply some pressure on the Evil Cultivators, and then give them some hope. Only then will they send Foundation Establishments with King Gu into the Death Realm.”

“Moreover, I will issue the Evil Punishment Order, eradicating the evil within the entire Nanli, launching a massive hunt for Evil Cultivators, forcing them into a corner!”

“Only then will they be desperate enough to bet everything they have on this gamble!”

King Ye and King Li exchanged a glance, both feeling the pressure in each other’s hearts. Once willing to risk his life for the throne, Chen Qing was now beginning to manipulate the fates of the people.

At that moment, Chen Qing suddenly heard a loud explosion from outside. He flew into the sky for a distant view, seeing the Prince Wen Palace half-collapsed, with countless cultivators screaming in the ruins.

Then, three streaks of light flew out, pursuing a distant black smoke.

Chen Qing shouted, “What is happening?”

Ling Ji walked over with her long legs, “It was an assassin from the Water Country, probably at the peak of the Feather Transformation Realm, but I discovered them. I informed Daoist Long Li, and the three of them have already gone after him.”

Chen Qing laughed grimly, “Assassinating the king, it seems they are truly being driven to desperation by me.”

“Someone, issue orders across all Nanli. Below the Mystic Gate Realm, eliminate all Evil Cultivators with full force, do not let a single one escape!”
