140: The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived!!!

"No need for formalities, everyone, please sit down!"

Xing Yao's delicate, clear face held a gentle smile. The Three Departments were already closely linked, and in front of her, people from the other two departments were just like her own.

"Thank you, Chief Director."

Ye Qingyu and the others took their seats.

Xing Yao glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you know Shen Tianxing's whereabouts?"

No one knew Shen Tianxing's movements; even the Three Divisions Experts searching for Various Demon Sects and Various Ghost Dao Sects outside could not actively contact him.

Unless he contacted them first.

By doing this, Shen Tianxing mainly aimed to conceal his whereabouts and raise his cultivation before the Great Demon Sect and Great Sect of the Ghost Path experts arrived.

With Xing Yao's ability, almost no one could hide from her calculations.

Shen Tianxing, however, was different. He had the soul slaying platform, which could actively cut off all heavenly secrets, making it impossible to deduce his whereabouts.

"Reporting to Chief Director, Lord Shen said he was going to handle some matters before he left. Counting the time, he should be back soon."

Ye Qingyu was one of the few who knew Shen Tianxing's destination, but she didn't elaborate. She wouldn't reveal a single word about what Shen Tianxing was doing before he returned.

Xing Yao had no doubts, nodded, and looked in the direction of Pei Wang City.

"Recently, there's been a lot of activity in Pei Wang City, with frequent troop movements across West Continent. You need to pay close attention to the situation in the city."

"However, you must not act on your own. Everything must wait until Shen Tianxing returns before any decisions are made."

On their way, Xing Yao and the others had already noticed some changes happening in West Continent.

Especially troop movements, no matter how secretive, always left traces.

Therefore, the Fourteenth Prince concluded that Prince Pei already harbored rebellious intentions.

Coupled with the fact that experts from the Great Demon Sect and Great Sect of the Ghost Path were rushing here, the Fourteenth Prince decided not to alert the enemy for now.

"Chief Director, rest assured, we have made meticulous arrangements."

"During this time, Prince Pei has been trying to inquire about Lord Shen's news, and we have cleverly deflected him."

Ye Qingyu had long since discovered the changes in Pei Wang City and made the most appropriate arrangements.

"Good. If there's anything urgent, you can contact me at any time."

"Keep everything in the Imperial Garden as it is."

As she spoke, a jade bead appeared in Xing Yao's hand. She had inscribed a magic array within it, allowing her to crush it at any time to contact her.

After all, her whereabouts still needed to be hidden for now.

She couldn't be discovered by Prince Pei's people.

"Yes, Lord!"

With all arrangements made, Xing Yao left the Imperial Garden.

She arrived silently and left without alarming anyone.

All arrangements were carried out in secret.

And Prince Pei was completely unaware of all this... In the study of the Prince's Estate in Pei Wang City.

Prince Pei sat behind his desk, with Min Wenshu, who had just returned from the Sea of Buried Demons, and Fu Xiu, who was in charge of troop movements, standing below him.

His other trusted aides had already been dispatched to prepare for the uprising.

"Wenshu, how did Lord Mo Li say about this trip to the Sea of Buried Demons?"

Prince Pei looked at Min Wenshu, his eyes showing a hint of urgency.

His uprising was imminent, and he always felt uneasy. Facing the powerful and domineering Empress, without the support of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, he dared not make a move.

This feeling was even more unsettling than when he vied for the throne back then.

Min Wenshu had just returned from the Sea of Buried Demons, and the image of the high and mighty Lord Mo Li, who held the power of life and death, involuntarily flashed in his mind, still carrying a trace of fear.

Min Wenshu forced himself to calm down and reported, "Your Highness, I met Lord Mo Li. He said to proceed with everything according to plan and act on your own!"

"When the time is ripe, he will have his own arrangements!"

Min Wenshu had a deep appreciation for the power of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect this time.

Powerful Spiritual Artifacts and mysterious, unfathomable methods all demonstrated their formidable nature.

With the support of such a Sect, even if the experts from the Various Demon Sects and Various Ghost Dao Sects didn't come, it would be enough to ensure Prince Pei's successful uprising!

Once Prince Pei succeeded, all their strategists would become ministers who had followed the Dragon.

Upon hearing this, the trace of unease in Prince Pei's heart finally vanished.

Min Wenshu dared not lie in front of him, and only Lord Mo Li would dare to speak with such certainty.

"Good, excellent!"

"With Lord Mo Li's guarantee, this uprising of mine will surely succeed!!!"

Decades of enduring hardships were all for this day!

His failure back then was because he didn't have much support from various factions!

But this time, it was different!

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived!!!"

Fu Xiu was also very excited.

He was the general responsible for mobilizing troops and had already achieved great merit. If they succeeded, his future status was unimaginable.

Prince Pei's face showed a satisfied smile.

He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

"Fu Xiu, what is the current situation with the troops I instructed you to mobilize in secret?"

"Also, have your various scouts found any signs of the imperial court mobilizing troops?"

"Where are the people Yan Yuzhu sent out now?"

Each of these three questions was related to his subsequent actions.

Fu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "The troop mobilization has been very smooth. West Continent is now under Your Highness's control, and it's very convenient to mobilize troops under various pretexts; no one will suspect anything."

"In three more days, all troops will arrive in Nanyuan Domain!"

"By then, all forces belonging to the imperial court within the entire Nanyuan Domain can be eradicated in an instant!"

Fu Xiu was very confident!

The imperial court had experts, but the Prince's Estate also had many. With these armies, they could completely sweep away the imperial court's forces.

"As for the imperial court's troops, there has been no movement yet. However, we have discovered traces of experts from the Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path. I don't know if this will affect our operation."

"And there's no news about the experts sent by the Empress."

Fu Xiu was specifically in charge of troop mobilization; intelligence gathering was handled by others, eventually converging to him to be reported to Prince Pei.

However, the intelligence gathered was not satisfactory.

Prince Pei frowned upon hearing this.

"Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path?"

"What are they doing running to Nanyuan Domain for no reason?"

The Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path had numerous experts. If these people could be used by him, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

However, ever since the Wenjian Sect was destroyed, the Sect Masters of the Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path had visited the Imperial City to meet the Empress, so it was unknown if their attitude remained the same as before.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will send people to keep an eye on them!"

"In my humble opinion, the Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path should not become pawns of the Empress. After all, they have always been at odds with the imperial court."

Fu Xiu's analysis was not without reason.

However, what he didn't know was that times had changed!

Many old ways of thinking were completely out of touch with the current situation!

"Hmm, that's good."

"Intensify the investigation to find out who that girl sent to Nanyuan Domain."

"We don't have much time left."

"Three days. I'll give you three more days. Everything must be arranged!"

"After three days, whether Shen Tianxing appears or not, it will not stop my uprising!"

Bang!

Prince Pei's gaze became firm, and he slammed a fist on the table, setting the deadline!
