Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 645: Danger of Split
"I need you to give me all the support you can."

Li Xuan Xiaomao opened his mouth and said.

Nilubaier did not show any anger, but asked patiently:

"I wonder what support Master Xuan is talking about?"

"Everything you can think of." Li Xuan's tone did not waver at all.

Xie Qingmo and Aimu on the side couldn't help but look worried.

Nilubaier is also a powerful figure in the church, otherwise she would not be able to balance the conflicts between the other two factions.

But Nirubel showed more patience to Li Xuan.

"I wonder how Master Xuan plans to implement the first step?"

“What kind of support do you need from me?”

Nirubel had a smile on her face, and seemed really interested in Li Xuan's plan.

"I heard that the two brothers and sisters who founded the reformists have a grudge against the conservatives. Can this hatred be resolved?"

Li Xuan asked first.

"Of course not, otherwise we wouldn't be in this situation now." Nilubai answered bluntly.

"I think so." Li Xuan nodded, and then added: "The reformists are weak. The easiest way to resolve the conflict is to destroy them."

"But the reformists still survive to this day, and there are even three factions."

"The Balance Faction led by the Saint has indeed played a balancing role."

Li Xuan smiled slightly.

Nilubaier did not comment and replied, "Although the reformists have radical ideas, they are all young talents in the church. They are the future of the Holy Fire Church, and the Holy Fire Church naturally cannot lose them."

"Then the conservatives are the stubborn disease of corruption!" Li Xuan interrupted.

When he learned that the reformists were led by only two young elders and that they had a blood feud with the conservatives, he understood the strangeness.

How could such a weak faction possibly compete with the conservatives who were once the backbone of the Holy Fire Cult?

It is obvious that this balance was intentional.

The balance faction represented by Nerubel is interesting.

They "balanced" the two originally unequal factions, which made the factional conflicts even more acute.

The reformists didn't even have a saint to recommend, so they arbitrarily brought up Princess Yan Zhao's title.

All these signs show how weak the power of the reformists is in the church.

However, such a weak reformist faction has not been eliminated until now, and they even dare to stir up trouble in Daxing.

More importantly, during the first Holy Fire Message, Nirubel had specifically asked Li Xuan to look after the Holy Fire Cult believers in the tribute teams from the hundreds of countries in the Western Regions.

According to the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all the Holy Fire Cult believers accompanying this trip were from the younger generation, the so-called reformists.

Therefore, although the Holy Fire Cult nominally has three factions, it is clear that the Balance Faction is pulling the Reform Faction against the Conservative Faction.

The Balancers seem to be neutral, but in fact they are biased and act in the conservative direction.

After Li Xuan understood this, he proposed the second Holy Fire Message.

Nirubel smiled but said nothing, and did not refute Li Xuan's evaluation of the conservatives.

This time, Xie Qingmo and Aimu stopped looking at Li Xuan and instead turned their gazes to Nilubaier in surprise.

Xie Qingmo was aware of this situation, but he didn't know why his sister didn't make any rebuttal at this time.

After all, this was a scandal within the church, and it was led by the saint Nirubel.

If Li Xuan's impression of the Holy Fire Sect were to become worse, wouldn't there be no chance of taking Li Xuan to the Western Regions in the future?

What will happen when the predicted world-destroying catastrophe comes?
There are chaos everywhere in the world now, which is obviously a sign that a catastrophe is about to come, but they don't have much time to waste.

Xie Qingmo felt that it was really inappropriate for her sister to admit this at this time.

Seeing that Nirubail did not deny it, Li Xuan knew that she was interested, so he told her his plan.

"You already know about the fireworks."

"I can ask Daxing to open its borders and allow reformists to come in and preach, but how to compete with Buddhism and Taoism is your business."

"The reformists are spreading their religion and gaining new power, and the conservatives will certainly not sit idly by."

"In fact, you continue to take sides, but this time you side with the conservatives and take a stance against the reformists who break with tradition."

"Then you guide the conservatives to send people to stop them, whether they come openly or covertly."

"I will cause them some trouble and prevent them from returning to the Western Region for a while."

"When the time comes, you can do whatever you want."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he smiled slightly and waited for Nirubel's decision.

The Holy Fire Sect has its own troubles, and Li Xuan has his own troubles.

Now it seemed that they had a chance to solve each other's troubles together.

Who can refuse such a win-win situation?

Nilubai laughed immediately after hearing this and said to Li Xuan:

"Master Xuan, I have never seen your strength."

“But I am really impressed by your wisdom.”

After saying that, Nirubel put one hand on her chest and bowed to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan recognized this etiquette. Aimu always showed him the same courtesy when she met or saw off guests.

Nirubel's courtesy made Li Xuan feel relieved, as it proved that his guess was confirmed.

"Master Xuan, I will let the disciples of the Reformist Faction contact Daxing."

"As for whether it will go as smoothly as you said, I will wait and see."

Li Xuan didn't say much, just grinned and revealed one of his fangs.

"I'm not afraid that you will wait and see, I'm just afraid that you won't come!"

Li Xuan thought to himself.

The water in Daxing is becoming more and more muddy. I'm afraid even King Zheng didn't expect it to develop to this point.

But if Li Xuan and his team want to win, they must use all the external forces they can.

King Zheng is really far ahead of them and has been operating for so many years.

They seem to have gained some advantages recently, but this was done in secret.

If we really put it on the table and fight with real swords and guns, I'm afraid we still won't be able to defeat King Zheng's years of management.

Therefore, Li Xuan could only try his best to gather all the factors that might affect the outcome.

As for the final outcome, he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

"Master Xuan, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Nilubaier finally said this to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan also nodded and replied:
"Pleasant to work with."

After that, he tactfully planned to say goodbye and leave.

But just as Li Xuan jumped onto the window sill, the flame statue of Nilubai, which had not yet been extinguished, asked him again:
"Master Xuan, where do you think it would be best for the young reformers to start preaching?"

Li Xuan paused on the windowsill, then turned around and gave the three people from the Holy Fire Sect an extremely cheerful smile, revealing his fangs on both sides.

"I heard that Jiangnan Road is a good place."

After receiving Li Xuan's answer, Nilubaier thanked him immediately:

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Xuan."

Li Xuan smiled and nodded, then jumped down from the window sill and disappeared.

The purpose of his communication with Nirubail today has been achieved, and he needs to return to the palace immediately to report to Emperor Yongyuan.

They also need to make corresponding preparations before they can start cooperation with the Holy Fire Cult.

Li Xuan just hopes that the Holy Fire Sect’s cooperation can be sincere enough.

As long as you can listen to everything he says, then this matter will be easy.

After Li Xuan left, Aimu's room became quiet.

"Sister, isn't it a bit too hasty for you to inform Master Xuan about the situation in the sect now?" Xie Qingmo was the first to raise an objection.

He has already determined that Li Xuan is the savior holy beast in the prophecy.

Therefore, they must not lose Li Xuan's trust.

Otherwise, this generation of Holy Fire Cult followers will be sinners in history.

"Did I tell him that?" Nirubel asked coldly.

Xie Qingmo shuddered immediately and hesitated, not daring to ask any more questions.

Nilubai sighed: "Even Master Xuan who is far away in the capital can clearly understand the situation in the church. How come the conservatives can't notice it at all?"

"Master, arrogance has long blinded their eyes. I didn't expect that the reformist is actually you, Master..."

It was only today that Aimu found out that the reformists were supported by Nirubel.

"Refa and Rena are rare talents. The conservatives persecuted their master for their own selfish reasons and wanted to wipe out the roots. If they succeed, the Holy Fire Cult will have no future."

Nirubel closed her eyes, her tone full of helplessness.

Aimu still couldn't understand this.

In the past, the Holy Fire Cult only had the conservative faction and no other factions at all, but the Holy Fire Cult has been passed down well to the present day.

But from what the master said, it seems that the conservatives have become a stubborn problem that the Holy Fire Sect must get rid of.

She originally thought that her faction was closer to the conservatives.

After all, Nilubaier was also from the old school...

Of course, there were no factions in Nilubai at that time.

After meeting Li Xuan before, Aimu didn't actually feel any pressure.

She felt that as long as she brought Li Xuan back to the Western Region headquarters, the position of the Saint would be undisputed.

Because the prophecy was obtained by the conservative predecessors at the cost of their lives, and then reported to the saint to be spread within the church.

Aimu thought that as long as Li Xuan followed her back, he would immediately get the support of his master's balanced and conservative factions, while the weak reformists would have no power to resist at all.

But with today's conversation, everything is different.

Aimu was no longer sure what attitude the conservatives would have towards Li Xuan.

"Ayimu, you have to remember this."

"We must not let Honey become the saint this time, otherwise everything will be meaningless."

"Whether it's a factional dispute or the inheritance of the Holy Fire Cult..."

“Even a prophecy.”

"So you must not lose to Honey!"

Nilubaier's words made Aimu feel more pressured.

But in front of her master, she still nodded seriously.

"Okay, it's time for the Holy Fire Message."

"Thank you, Elder. Tell the reformist disciples to start implementing the plan from the second phase."

Nilubaier's words made Xie Qingmo feel nervous.

No wonder all the disciples who were escorting the tribute team were reformists, it turned out that they were well prepared.

Although the overall plan is unknown, it is obvious that with Li Xuan's intervention, the plan directly skipped the first stage.

Seeing that the flaming statue of Nilubaier had disappeared, Xie Qingmo could not ask any more questions and could only reply to the extinguished message:
"Yes, Lady Saint."

……

Imperial Palace, Ganlu Hall.

"They agree with your plan?"

Emperor Yongyuan asked with concern.

In addition to Emperor Yongyuan and Li Xuan, there were also two general managers at the scene.

When they learned that Li Xuan had just returned from negotiations with the Holy Fire Sect, they immediately gathered here to discuss their next course of action.

"There are huge conflicts among them, meow."

"Though I don't know why, the old guard has become their biggest enemy within their ranks, meow."

"If the cooperation is successful, the conservatives may be able to help us consume King Zheng's power, meow."

Li Xuan sat on the dragon table and said in a very serious tone.

"It's always good to have more strength." Emperor Yongyuan let out a breath.

The hall gradually fell into silence, and Li Xuan asked the question that concerned him most:
"When is the southern tour, meow?"

"The first day of next month."

Li Xuan's pupils shrank, which meant that there were less than twenty days left before setting off for the southern tour.

"Is it time to decide the winner, meow?"

Li Xuan asked nervously.

"Why, are you scared?" Emperor Yongyuan asked with a smile.

Fortunately, he can still laugh now.

"Fear is useful. I'm starting to be afraid of meow now." Li Xuan said in a firm tone.

"Haha." Emperor Yongyuan laughed twice, but soon sighed again: "Not necessarily, it depends on whether Prince Zheng can still hold it in."

"Then we can't stand it anymore, meow?"

"Didn't you say before that delaying it would be beneficial for us, meow?"

Li Xuan asked in confusion.

He didn't understand why Emperor Yongyuan was in such a hurry?
Emperor Yongyuan seemed to understand Li Xuan's confusion and answered seriously:

"I used to think that my uncle wanted the throne, but recently it seems that this is not necessarily the case."

Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but frown as he spoke.

"Rebels are gathering in secret in various places. In the north, a wave of rebellion has swept across the country. Countless refugees have gathered in the mountains. The number of rebels has exceeded one million."

At the side, the eyes of the two stewards couldn't help but dim.

These information have been repeatedly confirmed by their Ministry of Internal Affairs and there is no possibility of error.

They worked so hard for so many years, but they only managed to protect themselves, and everything else was messed up.

Although there is some hope of overthrowing King Zheng now, it seems that Daxing's country will be ruined before that.

"These rebels are still in the stage of secretly raising their forces, but there is one thing that I am extremely concerned about."

"There seems to be no connection between them. They are independent of each other."

"Logically speaking, there is no reason for my uncle to miss such a good opportunity and not recruit these rebels."

"After all, if a rebellion really breaks out, both I and King Zheng will have to pay a heavy price to quell it."

"And the desert won't just watch us put down the rebellion."

Emperor Yongyuan's brows were furrowed into deep furrows.

Only then did Li Xuan realize that Emperor Yongyuan's temples were covered with a lot more white hair.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Yongyuan said quietly:

"It seems that the emperor's uncle just wants to destroy Daxing."

The atmosphere in Ganlu Palace became depressing. Emperor Yongyuan temporarily changed his original plan of using time to erode Prince Zheng and advanced the date of his southern tour.

Time is no longer on their side.

But he still didn't stand on the side of King Zheng.

This terrible situation made the people in the room, who had been fighting for power all their lives, feel embarrassed.

boom!
Li Xuan slapped his tail hard, making a loud noise in Ganlu Palace.

Emperor Yongyuan and the two general managers couldn't help but look up at him.

Li Xuan stood on all fours, raised his head, and said to them:
"I only know that I must stop King Zheng!"
