152: Chapter 152: Competing for Offering Daughters

"Grand Uncle, do you think we could pay a price by sending him some beauties, so that he won't attack us, and perhaps even protect us?"

A strange look flashed in the Jing Emperor's eyes. This Ximen Qing was not from Great Wei; he only became a Great Wei consultant because of benefits.

He likely didn't have much affection for Great Wei. The resources Great Wei could afford, his Great Jing Dynasty could also afford.

Moreover, besides resources, the beauties of his Great Jing Dynasty were not inferior.

"It is worth a try! However, the price to pay will likely not be small!"

After pondering for a long while, Jing Hongtao spoke helplessly.

"And then there is the matter of beauties. The Great Wei Dynasty has almost scoured the entire nation to collect beauties for him. He has seen countless peerless beauties. Can you find those who can outshine them?"

If everyone is sending beauties, and others send top-quality ones while yours are inferior, would he even want them?

"I plan to let Jing Qianyu go!"

The Jing Emperor said softly. Jing Qianyu was his eldest daughter, the Eldest Princess of the Great Jing Dynasty, and the number one beauty of Great Jing.

She was breathtakingly beautiful with a peerless appearance, and her talent and aptitude were exceptionally high; she had already reached the Magic Power Realm at only twenty-something years old.

"Sigh! You make the decision yourself!"

Jing Hongtao said helplessly. He thought very highly of Jing Qianyu; given her talent, if nurtured properly, she had a good chance of achieving a Breakthrough to the Return to One Realm in the future.

However, that was just a hope. To achieve a Breakthrough to the Return to One Realm, besides talent, resources were even more important.

Great Chu Dynasty!

The Chu Emperor was also facing the same trouble.

His Great Chu Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty could be said to be sworn enemies. The Great Wei Dynasty likely hated them the most, so if they were to strike first, they would definitely target them.

After all, among the several dynasties bordering Great Wei, his Great Chu Dynasty was the wealthiest.

"Empress, what do you think I should do? The Old Ancestor has met with an accident, and our Great Chu Dynasty might be on the verge of destruction!"

The Chu Emperor looked at his Empress and asked.

His Empress was Empress Yan. She had grown up with him since childhood, and both her natural talent and aptitude were far superior to his.

It was with the help of his Empress that he was able to defeat his brothers and seize the throne.

Therefore, whenever he encountered an unsolvable problem, he would instinctively consult his Empress.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to first stabilize the experts of the imperial clan and gain their support, then win over some forces that stand on the same front as us to stabilize the domestic situation."

"Next, we must carry heavy gifts and peerless beauties to visit Ximen Qing and appease him. If necessary, we can fully pledge our allegiance to him."

"As long as he does not personally attack us, it will not be an easy task for Great Wei to destroy our Great Chu."

"As long as we hold on for a few decades or a century, we might have some turning point by then!"

Empress Yan pondered for a short while before speaking directly.

In the current Hundred Kingdoms Territory, the most dangerous entity was not the Great Wei Dynasty, but that lascivious and debauched Ximen Qing.

With the deaths of those Return to One Realm experts on the surface of the Hundred Kingdoms Territory, Ximen Qing lost anyone who could restrain him and became the strongest expert in the Hundred Kingdoms Territory.

No one was his match, and since he had not established a faction or set rules, this meant he was a figure outside the rules, full of uncertainty.

His relationship with the Great Wei Dynasty was merely a partnership; as long as Great Wei paid a sufficient price, it would not be difficult to ask him to act.

And if their Great Chu Dynasty could pledge allegiance to him, all problems could be easily solved.

After all, no matter how important a partner was, they were not as important as one's own subordinates, right?

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, they were unwilling to have another master above them.

"The Empress is right, I will go handle it now!"

The Chu Emperor nodded upon hearing this. This was indeed a feasible method.

Great Liang Dynasty, the Liang Emperor was sitting opposite a black-robed priest.

Unlike the other four nations, the Great Liang Dynasty practiced a system of theocracy, where royal power was divinely ordained.

Therefore, the status of the High Priest in the Great Liang Dynasty was supreme, and even the Liang Emperor had to bow when seeing them.

Of course, these priests had deep relations with the royal family and even shared some blood ties; they could be considered one family.

And this black-robed priest was a Disciple of the High Priest; as long as he achieved a Breakthrough to the Return to One Realm, he would be the next High Priest.

"Priest Abbas, the High Priest has fallen in the Tong Jue Ancient Mountain ruins. What should our Great Liang do next?"

The Liang Emperor looked at Abbas and asked.

His Great Liang Dynasty practiced a tribal system. Although the tribe he belonged to was the strongest in Great Liang,

it had six great royal tribes, thirty-two great heavenly tribes, six hundred and seventy-four great earth tribes, and countless small tribes under it.

The royal tribes and heavenly tribes all had Yin Yang Realm Martial Artist presiding over them. Although they usually obeyed his commands, they all had their own autonomy and could be considered states within a state.

Now that the High Priest who supported him had died, having lost this huge support, would others still acknowledge him as the Liang Emperor?

"Hmph, do not worry. We priests will support you and help you appease the tribes below. Your top priority is to think about how to face the wolf-ambitioned Great Wei!"

Abbas snorted coldly. The entire Great Liang worshipped them, the priests. Whoever became the Liang Emperor had little impact on them; they all needed their support.

But the Great Wei Dynasty was different; they did not believe in religion or gods at all, so these priests would have no place to use their talents.

If the other side attacked Great Liang, they would be finished.

"This, Priest Abbas, do you have any suggestions?"

The Liang Emperor was stunned upon hearing this and asked cautiously.

"Collect some beauties and resources, and send an envoy to Great Wei to visit Ximen Qing. Tell him we are willing to invite him to become a consultant for our Great Liang, and we are willing to offer him some resources and beauties every year."

Abbas fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

The situation in the entire Hundred Kingdoms Territory was now very strange, with all those Return to One Realm Martial Artist having died in that ruin.

On the surface, Ximen Qing was the only Return to One Realm Martial Artist left in the entire Hundred Kingdoms Territory. It was fine for the small and medium-sized forces, as he likely wouldn't fancy them.

But for major nations like them, as well as large forces like the White Cloud Sword Sect, they were a bit restless. After all, who told them to be so wealthy?

They would definitely become fat meat in everyone's eyes. There was no need to worry too much about others, but one had to worry about Ximen Qing setting his sights on them!

"Also, let Mu Yue go with them!"

Abbas waved his hand. Jiang Muyue was the Liang Emperor's second daughter and also a priestess. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with a peerless appearance, and was known as the Pearl of the Prairie.

She attracted the pursuit of countless young talents in the Great Liang Dynasty.

"This, I understand, I will arrange it well."

The Liang Emperor nodded helplessly, feeling a bit reluctant. He cherished this apple of his eye very much.
