Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

However, Liu Longshou was not surprised. After all, he was a hero who could build such a large operation from scratch. How could he be an ordinary person?

Sometimes, there are many ways to do things, and you can never just follow the book.

For example, if there is a plate of fried rice in front of you, do you swallow it in one bite or eat it slowly and carefully, bit by bit? Although the result may be the same, the process is very different.

The Six Dragon Leaders knew that it was absolutely impossible to bring Meng Zhao's mysterious organization, and all its forces, under the control of the White Dragon Sovereign Society in the shortest possible time.

However, they took advantage of Meng Zhao's youthful vigor, arrogant personality, and the reputation that the White Dragon Venerable Society had built up over the years.

However, it is not impossible for it to subtly and silently erode all of its subordinate forces.

Therefore, the six dragon leaders quickly adjusted their mindset, stopped targeting any particular group, and instead sought to form an alliance with Meng Zhao.

The alliance was the least that the White Dragon Lords could ask of Meng Zhao. They were all forces resisting the Tianyuan Dynasty, and while they were rivals, they were also allies.

From a practical point of view, the alliance between the two sides is entirely beneficial, and of course, this refers to the White Dragon Venerable Association.

From Meng Zhao's perspective, being associated with the White Dragon Lord is hardly a good thing.

First of all, the White Dragon Sovereign Society is too big a target, with too prominent a historical status. It would be easy for the Tianyuan Dynasty to target it as its primary objective.

It's fine if there's no news about the White Dragon Sovereign Society, but if we do get news about it, we'll definitely eliminate them completely as soon as possible.

If Meng Zhao gets too close to the White Dragon Lord Society, he fears that the imperial court will consider him an accomplice of the White Dragon Lord Society in the future.

This thing is really interesting.

Rebellion also requires skill. Those who rush to declare their stance and constantly stir up trouble, like the White Dragon Lord, are the worst and most incompetent type of rebels. They often become the vanguard of the king but never have a good ending.

What Meng Zhao needed to do was to follow the nine-character mantra of "build high walls, store up grain, and delay declaring himself king," minimizing the threat to the court and never becoming the first bird to stick its head out and get shot.

However, it's not advisable to offend the White Dragon Lord too much, given his considerable strength and background, and his somewhat mad nature.

If someone feels that Meng Zhao is ungrateful and targets him relentlessly, or even deliberately tries to shift the blame to the court, it will be extremely difficult to resist him.

"An alliance is a good thing, but it would be best if we made a secret pact to rely on and help each other."

"You, the Sixth Dragon Head, know best the name of the White Dragon Sovereign Society. If I were to become involved with the White Dragon Sovereign Society, the imperial court certainly wouldn't stand idly by. Do you think my idea makes sense?"

Liu Longshou nodded. Although he was reluctant to admit it, what the other party said was true.

Bai Longzun will attract a lot of attention, and if the alliance with him becomes a big scandal and known throughout the city, it will definitely not be good news for Meng Zhao.

"That's certainly good, but there are some things to consider regarding how to cooperate and how to provide assistance."

"Your Excellency should be well aware that we have a great demand for iron ore. I wonder if Your Excellency could provide some support?"

Meng Zhao smiled.

“One-sided help is not mutual assistance. How about this, our two families can share what we need and what we have on a chart, and trade fairly so that each of us can get what we need.”

Meng Zhao had a very clear understanding that the White Dragon Lord Society was by no means easy to deal with, and that they would definitely covet the organization and power he had created.

If you pour resources into the White Dragon Lord Society out of fear, you will gain nothing and only become a fat pig raised by the White Dragon Lord Society.

Moreover, Meng Zhao is now fully capable and possesses unfathomable martial arts skills. He is not afraid of Bai Longzun and has enough confidence and strength to say no.

Although the six dragon leaders were dissatisfied, they could not ask for more and eventually agreed to the matter.

Then, the topic shifted to a major event in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

"Have you heard recently that the current Emperor Tianyuan fell into the water, contracted a lung disease, and has been suffering from it for a long time?"

Meng Zhao nodded.
"I've heard a little about it, but I think it's nonsense."

The current Emperor Tianyuan may not be the strongest person in the world, but with the endless resources of the royal family, his cultivation level must be quite high. How could he possibly have fallen into the water, and how could he possibly have contracted lung disease?

Martial arts cultivation emphasizes using the false to cultivate the true. Emperor Tianyuan's qigong cultivation is supreme, and his physical body is perfect. It is absolutely impossible for him to make such a joke.

However, there's no smoke without fire, and Meng Zhao felt there must be some inside story behind it.

The six dragon heads smiled smugly.
"Haha, Brother Li, you are an extremely intelligent person. Your skills, abilities, and martial arts are all top-notch, which is why you have been able to build such a large business. This is something that ordinary people cannot compare to."

However, you have one major flaw, not personal, but rather that your position is too low, too far from Kyoto, and many things remain unclear and unknown to you.

"Today I will tell you the truth, this matter is true, and the instigator is none other than my White Dragon Venerable Society. Of course, there are also some people within the court who are extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Tianyuan who are secretly supporting it."

Meng Zhao was very interested.

"Oh? I wonder if the Six Dragon Heads could explain how the White Dragon Lord accomplished this?"

The six dragon heads didn't deliberately hide anything; in fact, they might have done so intentionally to intimidate Meng Zhao.

"This matter is complicated in some ways, but simple in others. The key lies in whether there is anyone in the court who can help us."

My White Dragon Lord will have a holy maiden, whose beauty is unparalleled, whose body exudes a fragrance that attracts butterflies to dance around her, a beauty that is rare to find once in ten years.

Even an emperor, the most supreme ruler, would lose his composure upon seeing such a beauty; things would naturally escalate as a result.

In fact, there are still many things about the Six Dragon Heads that have not been explained in detail.

The holy maiden cultivated a technique called the Plain Maiden Scripture, passed down through generations of the White Dragon Venerable Society. Through dual cultivation, she could absorb a man's essence and use it for herself, doing so subtly and effectively.

It sounds similar to the woman inside the Red Skull in Longxiang County. In reality, the method practiced by the Holy Maiden of the White Dragon Venerable Society is a divine skill of the ancestral level, which can be used against the current emperor. It is far superior to those women inside the Red Skull.

This woman was so beautiful and had such a pleasant fragrance, which was not something she was born with naturally, but rather a beauty that naturally arose after she had mastered the Su Nu Jing (a classic text on female cultivation).

To put it simply, how are the Holy Maidens of the White Dragon Clan selected?
It wasn't her beauty, but her martial arts skills—the result of her cultivation of the Su Nu Jing (Classic of the Plain Girl).

The complete Su Nu Jing (Scripture of the Plain Girl) teaches that even an ugly woman can become a beautiful woman, and there are no ugly women among those who practice the Su Nu Jing.

Meng Zhao pondered for a moment. Emperor Tianyuan had been tricked and his health had deteriorated too much. He already had no children, so wouldn't his hopes be even slimmer?

Furthermore, this matter also involves some ministers in the imperial court. Are there other members of the royal family involved?

If the current Emperor Tianyuan has an heir, other members of the royal family will no longer have the opportunity to ascend to the throne. However, if Emperor Tianyuan has no heir, other members of the royal family will naturally have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The potential profits are enormous, so enormous that people would risk their lives to continue doing it.

However, for ambitious individuals like Meng Zhao and Bai Longzun, this couldn't be better.

It is very difficult for a thriving and well-ordered dynasty to successfully rebel.

The world is already plagued by disasters and instability in all aspects. If there is further instability in succession and internal division, it will only become a stage for ambitious people to revel. However, Meng Zhao was quite curious as to why the Six Dragon Heads were telling him all this.

Was it simply to demonstrate the White Dragon Clan's capabilities and strength?

There's absolutely no need for that. The White Dragon Clan's reputation is known throughout the world; these are merely icing on the cake.

"Six Dragon Heads, let's not beat around the bush. You're telling me all this because you have something on your mind. You might as well be frank."

The six dragon leaders nodded and said solemnly in a deep voice,

"Alright, then I won't hide it from you. Today, Emperor Tianyuan has been tricked by the Holy Maiden of my White Dragon Venerable Society, and his physique is extremely weak. As for the so-called cold, it was caused by being given a slow-acting poison. However, according to the information I have,..."

Wei Wushang, a henchman of Emperor Tianyuan, had already noticed something amiss and conducted a thorough investigation of the palace. He discovered clues and imprisoned the person who sent us to the Imperial Hospital. Emperor Tianyuan's health is also gradually recovering under the care of the imperial physicians.

Knowing that this was a rare opportunity, the Great Dragon Leader of the White Dragon Clan specially ordered the Holy Maiden to lure Emperor Tianyuan to the Summer Palace on Mount Luoyang, where they would ambush and assassinate him, thus cutting off any possibility of Emperor Tianyuan recovering his cultivation.

The leader of the Great Dragon Sect began preparations two months ago, inviting talented individuals and top experts from all directions.

Brother Li, your martial arts skills are superb, and you have great ambitions. Would you be interested in attending this grand feast?

Assassinating Emperor Tianyuan is a bold, even somewhat insane, idea.

However, upon closer examination, it's not entirely impossible.

There were inside agents, court officials who colluded with foreign enemies, and even members of the royal family involved.

Countless people wanted Emperor Tianyuan dead.

In this way, the chances of success are really high.

However, the death of Emperor Tianyuan would have a different impact and change on the overall situation of the world.

At least, the fig leaf of the Tianyuan Dynasty has been torn off. The emperor, the supreme ruler of the dynasty, was assassinated. This is a truly shocking event in history and a devastating blow to the dynasty's reputation.

Moreover, once an emperor dies, it becomes difficult for the court to stabilize. If the court is unstable, the country will inevitably descend into chaos, especially since the country was already in chaos.

how to say?

It's as if this dynasty was already on its last legs, and the White Dragon Sovereign deliberately stabbed it in the back, the kind that would kill someone.

The idea was bold, yet surprisingly effective, especially for Bai Longzun, who aspired to overthrow the dynasty and rebuild the world.

Of course, Meng Zhao, being an ambitious man, would also be a beneficiary if the White Dragon Lord's scheme were to succeed.

As for whether he should personally participate, Meng Zhao remained silent.

Personally speaking, Meng Zhao is quite willing to participate in these kinds of things. It can broaden his horizons and allow him to compete with the strongest people in the world, which is definitely not comparable to staying in Xiaohan Village.

Assassinating the king and killing him would definitely be something that gets his blood pumping.

Moreover, Meng Zhao had long considered the possibility that this world might have been created solely for the purpose of trials.

Meng Zhao was extremely confident that he could pass the trial, inherit the emperor's secret techniques, and even ascend to godhood in one step.

After achieving godhood and leaving that ancient battlefield, Meng Zhao actually had some ideas.

Perhaps, we could travel to the capital city of Shenzhou and assassinate the current emperor, Beitang Sheng?
What happens today may be a rehearsal for what will happen in the future?
There's no need to be timid just because it's an assassination, nor should we overemphasize the positive role of planning, strategy, and tactics in conquering the world.

In Meng Zhao's view, any method that achieves the goal is a good method. Of course, there must be certain principles and bottom lines.

People who lose their principles and bottom line cannot go far.

Assassinating the emperor can only be described as audacious, but it is not necessarily a matter of crossing the line.

If he were a truly wise and virtuous ruler, he would not have fallen to such a state.

However, Meng Zhao had to be careful in dealing with this matter.

It should be noted that, so far, everything has been just the six dragon heads talking to themselves.

What if this wasn't an assassination attempt on the king, but a trap set for him and other skilled individuals like him?

This is not impossible, but rather very likely.

The White Dragon Lord Society has never been a righteous group, and there are certainly more than one similar incidents they have caused in history.

Although Meng Zhao was confident, he was not arrogant, and did not truly believe that he could contend with all the masters in the world on his own.
This is not the land of China, where the strong always become stronger, supreme beings emerge in great numbers, and transcendent blades appear one after another.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one person can control the entire world.

The Tianyuan Dynasty was different. Its low combat strength meant that the gap between them was not too large, and its fixed upper limit meant that the gap was narrowed.

Therefore, even if Meng Zhao mastered the best martial arts in the world, he wouldn't dare say that he could sweep away all the heroes in the world on his own.

He still needs the help of the masses to conquer the world.

After much deliberation, Meng Zhaodao said,

"Assassinating the king and killing the emperor is indeed a great achievement. It's just a pity that I have many trivial matters to attend to and I'm afraid I won't be able to go out for some time."

"The six dragon leaders have been disappointed."

Meng Zhao doesn't need to limit himself to a single moment if he wants to meet some true masters. After all, he's young, and time is on his side.

The struggle for supremacy might also be related to his trial, so Meng Zhao had to be cautious.

In the unlikely event that he is lured away from his stronghold and his base is destroyed, the time and effort spent would be enormous.

Sometimes, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step. Who knows if such a good opportunity will come again if you're delayed for too long?

Therefore, out of caution, Meng Zhao still refused.

Then, he changed the subject and said,
"However, since our two families have formed an alliance and are now helping each other, I cannot remain completely silent."

Here's what I'll do: I'll send one of my top swordsmen, a master swordsman, to help you plan this.

This person is extremely skilled in martial arts and is one of the top fighters under my command.

"Sixth Dragon Head, you must protect him well!"

The six dragon leaders nodded. Meng Zhao wouldn't make a move, but if they could acquire a top-tier swordsman, that would be considered achieving their objective. (End of Chapter)
