546: Impeach
He had originally planned to send out information and wait for rescue.
But he didn't expect it.
This guy's thinking was so meticulous, with no logical flaws.
In just a short period, he had cut off all escape routes.
Is this a normal person?
Under normal circumstances, who would think of so much?
For a moment, he was speechless.
But in the current situation, with him being the fish on the chopping block, he had no ability to refuse.
Thinking of this, he quickly said,
"No, it's all a misunderstanding, Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, I absolutely have no intention of concealing anything."
"My name is Donglai, I am from the Beast Taming Sect, and I am at the Middle Stage of the Supreme Realm. What else do you want to ask? Feel free to speak, I will tell you everything I know."
As soon as he said this, Wang Gou and Wang Yan both laughed.
What ‘tell everything I know’?
Everything was built on absolute control.
Immediately, Wang Yan directly spoke.
"Why did you intercept us on the ship? Tell me about the objective of your Beast Taming Sect."
"This is a secret of our sect and cannot be casually spoken. I have a Restriction in my mind; once I involve myself in even a tiny bit of it, I will surely die."
Donglai said in a deep voice.
He didn't even have any intention of resisting.
He was directly planning to reveal everything he knew.
But this second question immediately stumped him.
He simply couldn't answer.
Originally, not listening here meant death.
But listening meant immediate death.
Strictly speaking, the management within the Beast Taming Sect was not overly harsh.
The main reason was that the mission he was undertaking this time had a high degree of secrecy.
An artificial brain worm had been placed in his mind.
Once he engaged in any behavior that involved confidential matters,
he would die the next moment.
This was not alarmist talk.
Rather, it was a fact laid before their eyes.
Wang Gou and Wang Yan exchanged glances.
A hint of seriousness appeared in their eyes.
Obviously, with such a high degree of secrecy,
the matter was certainly not a small one.
Perhaps, unintentionally, they had touched upon something that could overturn the relationship between the two major powers.
Of course, this was irrelevant to them.
However, if they delved deeper, it might not be an opportunity.
If there must be one casualty between the two major powers,
then the Wang Family might be able to benefit from it.
It should be known that in the current situation, the Wang Family's strength was no longer weak.
The reason it had been unable to fully establish itself and occupy a mineral resource was twofold.
On one hand, most resources were already claimed, so to find a foothold, they had to search for resources themselves.
Besides that, another reason was that there were too many and too concentrated powers in the current Canglan Dao Province.
For the Wang Family to rise, it could only bite off a piece of someone else's territory.
Originally, these powers were a solid block.
The Wang Family's rise could only rely on finding resources itself.
And there was a high probability of conflicts of interest with others.
If one of the two top powers, the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty and the Beast Taming Sect, could fall,
then like a whale's fall giving rise to myriad life, a massive amount of resources and land would inevitably be released.
It would no longer be difficult for the Wang Family to occupy a region and expand its Foundation from there.
Thinking of this,
sparks flickered in their eyes... Clearly, this matter might not be a bad thing after all.
Misfortune is where fortune arises; both clearly sensed that this was an opportunity.
However, the current situation they faced was that they simply didn't know more confidential information.
Donglai couldn't speak about this point.
This also meant that although the two had such ideas, they couldn't implement them, participate in this matter, and complete the process of benefiting from it.
After a moment of thought, Wang Gou suddenly spoke.
"Since that's the case, why don't you tell me about the history of your Beast Taming Sect and the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty?"
Donglai heard this and didn't hesitate.
He immediately said,
"The Great Wu Imperial Dynasty's exact age is no longer traceable, but it has always been an adversary of the Beast Taming Sect."
"Both sides attacked each other, originally evenly matched, until 500 years ago, someone emerged from the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty, which broke this stalemate."
"It was from then on that the Beast Taming Sect fell into a disadvantage, and even the extermination of the insect plague a long time ago was actually a purge aimed at our Beast Taming Sect."
"Fortunately, we survived. I can't speak further about what happened next, I can only supplement you with other historical information."
"..."
Wang Yan and Wang Gou listened patiently.
There was no hint of impatience in their expressions.
After a long while, they nodded.
Most of the historical information was useless.
But one point made the two ponder deeply.
That was, within the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty, there was a treasure that could allow people to Break through to the True Immortal Realm, reaching a cultivation above the True Immortal Realm.
From the very beginning, the Beast Taming Sect had set its sights on this treasure.
They continuously sent people to the Imperial Palace.
The Great Wu Imperial Dynasty naturally couldn't allow others to steal this item.
Conflict thus arose between the two sides.
Later, the conflict gradually escalated, basically evolving into a life-and-death struggle.
The point of focus for the two was on the treasure... If it could truly allow someone to Break through above the True Immortal Realm, then it was very likely that such an old relic existed within the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty.
In other words, it was highly probable that the Beast Taming Sect and the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty were not equal in strength.
Benefiting from their conflict was almost out of the question.
To achieve the desired effect, it would be best to cooperate with the Beast Taming Sect.
However, this would be somewhat risky.
Moreover, it would lead to a direct conflict with the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty.
The two thought for a moment.
Then they directly killed Donglai, and the two drove a small treasure ship towards the capital of the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty.
They planned to continue participating in the Grand Competition.
They intended to understand the situation in more detail, perhaps even finding other opportunities... Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ever since Wang Dong gave the order, the Wang Family had already begun cooperation with the Great Qian Dynasty's Sixth Prince.
A preliminary plan had now been drafted.
Many members of the Wang Family had become honored guests of the Sixth Prince.
Of course, most of them only had cultivation at the Supreme Realm.
Even under the command of the First Prince, there weren't many True Immortal Realm experts.
The Sixth Prince naturally wouldn't demand too much.
What's more, Wang Changfeng himself was also a True Immortal Realm expert.
And the strength he could display was exceptionally astonishing.
Besides that, the Wang Family could also unleash even more astonishing potential.
If a direct conflict truly occurred, at least three True Immortals could appear.
Such power, not to mention being comparable to the First Prince,
in some respects even surpassed Qian Long.
Qian Long's influence swelled to its extreme for a time.
This day, during the morning court session,
in the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty's palace hall,
"Imperial Father, your son believes that Sixth Brother's collusion with the Wang Family is like playing with fire."
