Chapter 1100 The Grand Preceptor's Oversight

Xie Yiming was slightly startled and asked softly, "If the world knows that there are a lot of treasures in the Lingyun Mountains, they will suspect the source of these treasures. How will you explain that?"

"Should we just expose the Purple Gold Alliance?"

"But the world is unaware of this secret network of the Purple Gold Alliance."

"There always needs to be a reason to silence the public."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun chuckled dryly and said, "I haven't thought of a reason yet. Let's secure the prize first. You go and take over the treasure in the Lingyun Mountains."

Xie Yiming paused, and after thinking it over, nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go back and reorganize the troops immediately."

The process of digging for treasure was when Yuwen Jun was thinking of reasons.

As for what reason to use to explain the origin of these treasures, that requires careful consideration.

Now, Yuwen Jun finally realized what a mess the Emperor had left him.

However, having obtained the Ziwei Blade, Yuwen Jun did not feel he had lost out.

What was supposed to be a swift and decisive show turned out to be a slow and simmering affair.

Yuwen Jun's pride had gradually dissipated.

Xie Yiming crossed the void and left this place.

Shen Jun asked, "The combined strength of Ji Zhongtian and Yang He should not be underestimated."

Yuwen Jun nodded and said, "Ji Zhongtian and Yang He are not a threat. One warrior capable of taking down ten thousand men is enough to easily defeat them. The problem is that their forces are deeply entrenched and have many grudges. How will we take over their command?"

Shen Jun also felt the same way.

Yuwen Jun looked at Ling Yuqing and said in a deep voice, "Send the order that all members of the Dark Dragon should lie in ambush outside Ziqi Mountain."

Ling Yuqing cupped her hands in greeting and replied, "Yes, sir."

The once most beautiful courtesan left the main hall in an instant.

Yuwen Jun looked at Shen Jun and asked meaningfully, "Do you know that the Purple Gold Alliance has no chance of rising from the ashes, and that even if a fierce battle breaks out, the final result will still be defeat?"

"So that's why you took the initiative to come to me. What do you want to get from me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jun did not ponder, but simply shook his head and said, "I don't know what I want, but I am clear that after Wan Xin's death, a new era is destined to descend upon the human race."

"I am a superfluous person, coming and going."

Yuwen Jun asked directly, "Where are your family members?"

Shen Jun's heart sank. Could it be that Yuwen Jun needed hostages?

"I have already settled it in a secluded place," Shen Jun replied truthfully.

Yuwen Jun stood with his hands behind his back, his back to Shen Jun, and said leisurely, "I have no intention of harming your family. It's just that once you arrive at this mountain and water manor, the Ji family will soon find out, as will Ji Zhongtian and Yang He. They might then take drastic measures against your family."

"You are a talented person, and I can't bear to kill you."

"You should know what I mean."

Shen Jun's eyes widened in confusion for a moment. He looked at the young man's retreating figure and asked very seriously, "Where is the Human Emperor?"

Yuwen Jun turned around and said frankly, "I still have this much power. You have already made a contribution by voluntarily revealing the treasure of Lingyun Mountain Range."

Shen Jun was surprised, not expecting Yuwen Jun to have such great power.

Of course, Ji Zhongtian and Yang He were both doomed regardless of the circumstances.

After thinking it over, Shen Jun asked, "Aren't you worried about an ambush set up in the Lingyun Mountains?" Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun smiled disdainfully and said, "The Purple Gold Alliance has no chance of making a comeback. Even if an ambush is set up in the Lingyun Mountains, it will only be a desperate struggle for survival."

"Xie Yiming has just entered the Wuji realm and is waiting to show his skills."

"Both the Human Emperor and the Demon Queen can be mobilized instantly. So what if there's an ambush? I'd rather suddenly be surrounded by a huge encirclement."

Shen Jun chuckled softly.

After Wan Xin's death, no one could rival the Emperor. Moreover, the Queen of the Demon Realm relied heavily on the human and spirit races. She never hesitated to do any hard or tiring work.

As the two were talking, Li Hongshan crossed the void and arrived.

Upon seeing another unfamiliar face, and after a slight sensing, realizing it was a peak-level expert, Li Hongshan subconsciously frowned and looked at Yuwen Jun without hesitation, asking, "When did you recruit such an expert?"

"Your Highness has indeed kept this well hidden."

Yuwen Jun glanced at Li Hongshan and smiled, "We recruited this expert half an incense stick ago."

"What do you think of my methods, Grand Preceptor?"

Li Hongshan was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Shen Jun, standing to the side, also bowed deeply and said, "This humble subject, Shen Jun, pays his respects to the Imperial Preceptor."

A commoner!?
A commoner in the realm of Wuji?

Li Hongshan smiled and shook his head, his eyes playful: "I'm afraid I can't accept such courtesy from you."

Yuwen Jun chuckled and said, "As far as we know, Shen Jun is indeed just a commoner, only his cultivation level is slightly higher."

Li Hongshan looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jun continued to tease, "It seems that the Grand Preceptor has not been in contact with His Majesty these days, so much so that he is unaware of many things?"

Li Hongshan said frankly, "I spend all day training troops and worrying about intelligence matters in the Divine Realm, so I rarely return to the capital to report. But I know that something big has happened in the last few days."

"I wonder what major event has occurred. Please tell me about it."

Yuwen Jun pointed his fingers like a sword and thrust them towards Li Hongshan's brow. A golden-red rune instantly surged into it.

A moment later, Li Hongshan's gaze towards Shen Jun changed.

"It really is a thrilling event!" Li Hongshan clicked his tongue in amazement.

Yuwen Jun deliberately put on a stern face and questioned Li Hongshan: "As far as I know, it is our duty to monitor all human cultivators. Why are there always some who slip through the net and are not known to the Grand Preceptor?"

"Or is there some unclean spider silk within Star Luo as well?"

Li Hongshan's expression gradually darkened. After a moment, he could only say weakly, "If someone is deliberately concealing something, even the Star Luo Spy Network is powerless to do so. I apologize for making Your Highness laugh at me."

Yuwen Jun persisted, saying, "Because of Xingluo's negligence, such a huge mess has arisen. The Grand Preceptor must be the first to clean up this mess."

Knowing that Yuwen Jun had given him leverage, Li Hongshan lowered his head and replied, "I will obey Your Highness's orders."

Yuwen Jun also made no attempt to hide his intentions, saying, "I want to destroy the Ji family in the north, but the intelligence and battles in the Chaos Space are unknown to the world. Now that I am attacking the Ji family, I can hardly find a reason."

"Secondly, if Ji Zhongtian joins forces with Yang He, it will inevitably cause considerable turmoil within the human race."

"May I ask what wise counsel the Imperial Advisor has in store?"

"It doesn't matter if it's a bad idea. In short, I'll take the blame, and everyone will get the credit."

The key point is that the world doesn't believe the Purple Gold Alliance still exists.

Li Hongshan, however, had a sudden inspiration and said, "That's simple, just capture Ji Zhongtian alive."
