570: Chapter 570 Political Warfare, Azure-Scaled Serpent Saint

"Coerce the Son of Heaven to command the lords?" Shui Xing asked in confusion.

"Look at the Dahua Imperial Dynasty; how is its system different from the Yang World?" Hun Tiandi smiled slightly and asked back.

"The City Lords have too much power, each fighting their own battles; the imperial power is in decline, and the Emperor is young!" Shui Xing immediately realized the key point.

"Correct, the various City Lords no longer revere the imperial power..." Hun Tiandi affirmed.

"According to intelligence, the Crown Prince is only ten years old with ordinary wisdom. How can a young dragon suppress a pack of tigers!"

"What should we do?" Shui Xing asked.

"The world of the Dahua Imperial Dynasty will fall into chaos. You must train a powerful army to deal with the situation of a troubled world!" Hun Tiandi spoke slowly.

"Yes!" Shui Xing accepted the order.

Three months later, Hua City was gathering strength, accumulating grain, training a strong army, and delaying the claim to kingship!

Under the vast resources of the Darong Chamber of Commerce from the Yang World, the number of troops increased exponentially, soon surpassing the level of the original City Lord.

This was something the current Emperor could not have imagined.

"Your Majesty, what do we do now?" Shui Xing asked.

"No, wait a bit longer!" Hun Tiandi said in a deep voice. "Besides us, there are many City Lords in the world eyeing the Imperial Capital."

"They want the Imperial Jade Seal in the Crown Prince's hands?" Shui Xing frowned.

"Yes, the providence of the Dahua Imperial Dynasty has only two vessels: one is the Crown Prince, and the other is the Imperial Jade Seal."

"Before the Crown Prince fully refines the providence, he cannot completely control it, and the Imperial Jade Seal is what the City Lords desire!"

Hun Tiandi sneered.

"Someone is going to make a move?" Mr. Corpse Soul thought for a moment.

As time passed, countless pieces of intelligence gathered from all directions. Finally, someone couldn't hold back and took action.

The City Lord of Fangshu City, Bai Yun, led troops directly into the Imperial City, seizing the Imperial Jade Seal and slaughtering countless loyal subjects who resisted for Dahua.

Countless reports arrived, calling for the various kings to enter the capital to protect the monarch!

Hun Tiandi led his troops forward. During this short period, Shui Xing had displayed amazing talent, training an army of seven hundred thousand.

"How many people will actually come?" Elder Dan asked on the way.

"Jie jie jie, not a single one will be missing!" Hun Tiandi affirmed.

"All of them? Then won't Bai Yun be left without a place to be buried!" Elder Dan was surprised.

"No, these people are all here for the Imperial Jade Seal in Bai Yun's hands..." The twenty-four armies formed an alliance outside the Imperial Capital.

"Shui Xing, go to the alliance on my behalf. Remember which City Lords are talented and which are incompetent," Hun Tiandi said.

"Yes!" Shui Xing responded.

No matter how powerful City Lord Bai Yun was, he couldn't resist the attack of twenty-four armies. He didn't kill the young Emperor because if the Emperor died, the providence would vanish!

By then, even having the Imperial Jade Seal would be useless!

The alliance meeting ended; next was war!

Subsequently, he took the young Emperor and the army, fled the Imperial Capital, and headed toward his own Fangshu City.

"Your Majesty, do we need to pursue?" Shui Xing asked.

"No, enter the Imperial City!" Hun Tiandi smiled, and Shui Xing immediately began organizing the troops.

"Li Jingzhong, take some men and bring the young Emperor back stealthily! Send him to Hua City; not a single other person is to be harmed!"

"Yes!" Li Jingzhong obeyed and vanished on the spot.

Hun Tiandi headed straight for the Imperial Capital. Looking at the palace turned to ruins, he had Shui Xing find the remaining officials.

The providence in the sky had diminished significantly.

"Fellow colleagues, I, Hun Tiandi, am also loyal to Dahua. It has given us everything, so naturally we must repay it. Now Bai Yun has run off with the Emperor!"

"I, the City Lord, am worried he might return to slaughter us, so I invite you all to take refuge in Hua City!"

"What? He'll return to slaughter us?" a terrified minister said.

Everyone, follow me to a safe place first. Once the Emperor is rescued, we can continue to serve Dahua!

"City Lord Hun, this..." an official wanted to speak.

"Men! Go to the homes of these lords, pack their belongings, and have them follow us to Hua City for refuge!" Hun Tiandi cut the Gordian knot, giving the officials no chance to speak.

Promptly, the remaining officials were packed up by Hun Tiandi and brought back to Hua City.

After all the City Lords pursued Fangshu City, they found the Emperor was lost?

The Emperor was lost?

This blunder caused only a few City Lords to give up the pursuit and search for the Emperor, while the others continued to hunt Bai Yun to eliminate the rebel.

They valued the Imperial Jade Seal more.

With the Imperial Jade Seal, one could extract providence and establish their own dynasty and nation.

What's the use of finding the Emperor? Bring him back to display like an ancestor?

Hun Tiandi brought the young Emperor and the entire civil and military court back to his territory.

He quickly established a new imperial palace and issued a proclamation to the world.

"The rebel Bai Yun stole the Imperial Jade Seal, destroyed the Imperial Capital, and murdered ministers. His crimes are punishable by death. Now, City Lords are crusading against the rebel to reclaim the seal and restore order!"

"Hun Tiandi rescued Us from danger; his merit is indispensable. He is appointed Grand General, commanding the three armies!"

Of course, this proclamation was issued by Hun Tiandi in the name of the Emperor.

The proclamation was spread throughout the world and reached the hands of many City Lords; the world had already changed.

Without the Imperial Jade Seal, another could be carved, but without the Emperor, the providence would vanish.

In this murky war, Hun Tiandi of Hua City gained the greatest benefits.

With the Imperial Capital established in Hua City, wouldn't Hun Tiandi have the final say in the future?

The many City Lords ended up with nothing but a basket full of water!

"Your Majesty, this move of coercing the Son of Heaven to command the lords is truly a brilliant tactic. You took over the Dahua Imperial Dynasty without shedding a drop of blood!" Shui Xing exclaimed.

"The young Emperor has been retrieved, so why do you still go to pay respects to him every day?" Elder Dan asked in confusion.

"This is etiquette; it can silence the criticisms of the world!"

"We are 'upholding' the Son of Heaven, not 'coercing' him!" Shui Xing explained.

A single word's difference, yet worlds apart!

Although the many City Lords understood, they could not refute it.

Shui Xing also understood the terror of political warfare, which also brought immense rewards.

Hun Tiandi smiled slightly; Shui Xing was worth investing in.

The Yang World, Starfall Pavilion!

The forbidden area in the back mountain, a place only the Pavilion Master could reach, was pitch black inside. In its depths, six iron chains bound a young girl.

The girl wore a tattered light green dress; her hair was disheveled, her aura withered, her face pale, and her eyes closed.

It seemed she had suffered significant injuries.

If Hun Tiandi were here, he would surely recognize that the girl was Qing Yue.

Clack!

A noble lady in a light red dress swayed her hips, her expression cold. She was precisely the Pavilion Master of Starfall Pavilion, You Quan.

Behind her followed Tian Longzi and the other two. Since their cultivation had reached the Dou Zong level, they were also highly valued by You Quan.

"Is this the girl with the Divine Eyes?" You Quan's cold voice carried a hint of surprise.

She peeled back Qing Yue's eyelids, revealing a pair of light green demonic pupils. Deep within them, seven black dots were rotating, emitting a terrifying devouring power.

"Indeed, they are Divine Eyes?" You Quan said, surprised.

"Tian Longzi, how is the message I asked you to send?"

"Reporting to Pavilion Master, the message has been sent. The Green Scale Snake Saint is already on her way!" Tian Longzi said respectfully.

"Good!" You Quan nodded with satisfaction and then turned to leave.

Tian Longzi and the other two looked at each other, all seeing the hidden coldness in the three brothers' eyes.

It turned out that after learning of the Burning Flame Valley's destruction, You Quan was very fearful. Although Starfall Pavilion's strength was slightly greater than Burning Flame Valley's...

But since they could destroy the former, they could naturally deal with Starfall Pavilion as well.

Therefore, after Qing Yue was captured and found to possess Divine Eyes, she sent a message to the Green Scale Snake Saint, intending for her to devour Qing Yue.

The Green Scale Snake Saint was a small maidservant by the side of Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, possessing extremely eerie pupils in the world.

Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!

It was very rare, perhaps even rarer than Hao Meili's Ten Thousand Poison Body.

If they obtained the support of the Green Scale Snake Saint, they could get the support of the Xiao Family to oppose the power that destroyed Burning Flame Valley.

Star Palace!

Hun Tiandi looked at the report in his hand, a flash of ferocity in his eyes and fury in his heart.

"Green Scale Snake Saint?"

"Likes to control and devour snake-type magical beasts, does she? In that case, let's see who devours whom!"
