There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 607 Allies
The person who passed the message to Wang Ping was Ruan Chunzi. He did not tell Wang Ping where he was at the moment, but only conveyed the news that there was a big move in Linshui Prefecture.

However, no news was sent back from the puppets Wang Ping placed in Linshui Prefecture. This only means that the news may only be known by the top leaders of Linshui Prefecture at the moment, and was obtained by Ruan Chunzi through special channels.

"What actions?" Hu Yin asked.

"The various islands under the command of the Seventh Prince are secretly mobilizing sailors. Their current whereabouts are unknown, but it is obvious that they are not using them in their civil war, and it is even less likely that they will attack Hushan Kingdom or Dongzhou, so their only target is us!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Gong flicked her wide sleeves and said, "Perhaps it is revenge for your previous actions in Mozhou."

Wang Ping thought about it, then rejected it, saying, "Impossible. Unless the opposing commander just wants to vent his anger, attacking Mozhou Road will only lengthen their battle line. It would be better to fight with me directly in Changwen Mansion to decide the outcome!"

"We have a long coastline. If they continue to harass us like they did decades ago, we will be in a passive position unless we take the initiative to attack and beat them back. However, this is not realistic given the current situation of Chu." Hu Yin looked at Wang Ping and asked, "Can Changwen Mansion defend the coastline?"

"It will definitely be no problem in the short term. My disciples have trained a navy in Baishui Lake. Although it has been disbanded in name, they are actually stationed in Changwen Prefecture. Together with our warships and palace soldiers, it should be no problem to defend for half a year to a year."

Wang Ping gave a time.

Hu Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Three months will be enough. Within three months, I will organize a large army of water tribes to support you, but you will be responsible for their logistics and supplies."

Wang Ping immediately bowed and said, "Thank you!"

Zhi Gong added: "Be careful that they use the means you used to attack Mozhou Road to attack you. You must control your disciples during this period of time to avoid giving them an opportunity to take advantage of you."

"Do you mean that they will directly attack Qianmu Temple?" Wang Ping's eyes flashed.

"Is it not possible?" Zhi Gong asked back.

Wang Ping's eyes fixed.

Hu Yin said: "I will immediately send a Jindan-level clan member to support you."

Zhi Gong also said: "I met a friend in Yuqing Sect in my early years. He owed me a favor, so I asked him to rush to Qianmu Temple immediately."

Wang Ping clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Zhi Gong deliberately did Wang Ping a favor, and Wang Ping did not refuse it. He knew that this favor was probably Zhi Gong's preparation for promotion.

"I can't go to Qianmu Temple. My promotion is at a critical time. I estimate that I will be able to try again in two hundred years!" Zhigong said while nodding.

Hearing this, Yu Lian complained in her mind: "It will take so long, will you be able to succeed in the promotion before her?"

Wang Ping ignored the complaint. Two hundred years was not too long for a cultivator in the third realm. It was equivalent to only five or six years in the mortal world.

"The Dao Palace headquarters still needs some second-level cultivators!" Wang Ping made another request.

This request was a good thing for Hu Yin. It was the best opportunity for her tribe to integrate into the southern cultivation world, so she immediately said, "If you don't mind the monsters being an eyesore, the men of my tribe can help you share your worries!"

"Okay, you can ask the monks of your tribe to contact my disciple Xia Wenyi about this matter!"

“It’s settled!”…

Xia Wenyi didn't know that his master had assigned him another task. At this moment, he was discussing with Liu Qin, the head of the Liu family, in the front hall how to seize power.

Also participating in the discussion were Dong Can and Leng Kezhen, while Hong Yuan, Qin Zifeng and Qing Jiang were waiting outside.

Although Xia Wenyi came from a royal family, he was not familiar with the game of political struggle. Liu Qin was the only one talking. He proposed to first find an imperial censor to overthrow a large family and then divide and disintegrate it.

The method was very conventional, but Xia Wenyi always felt that it was inappropriate, so he looked at Dong Can and asked, "Does the senior have any suggestions?"

"I only care about killing people and don't care about anything else!" Dong Can shook his head and didn't intend to get involved in this matter.

Leng Kezhen stood up from the side, clasped his fists towards Xia Wenyi and said, "I have some humble opinions, I wonder if you can express them."

"But it doesn't matter!"

Xia Wenyi knew who the person in front of him was, but he had long since abandoned his identity as a member of the Xia royal family, so he did not feel anything unusual. When he asked Dong Can just now, he actually wanted to ask this former deputy commander of the Weiwei.

Leng Kezhen got the chance to speak, and first clasped his fists in the direction of the mountaintop dojo and said, "We have the support of Changqing Zhenren, and this court matter is nothing, why bother with so much trouble? In my humble opinion, it is better to directly issue an order to arrest the person!"

"Which of those people is so easy to catch?"

Liu Qin retorted.

Leng Kezhen clasped his fists and saluted to Dong Can next to him, saying, "With Senior Dong Can here, who dares to be presumptuous?"

Liu Qin retorted again: "The True Lords have set the rules that cultivators above the second realm are not allowed to participate in the fight for the artifact. If it is so simple, why should we worry about it here? Even if we can capture someone, I am afraid that the moment we capture him, all the troops in Jinhuai City except the Imperial Guards will attack the palace. They have done this before."

Leng Kezhen glanced at Liu Shuang, then looked at Xia Wenyi and said with a fist:
"I rarely meet people who are not afraid of death. As long as we kill them quickly enough, no one can complain. Even if someone complains, isn't it the Dao Palace that will deal with the problem in the end? The rules of the game are in our hands. As long as we don't openly use abilities above the second realm to wipe out the army and civilians, or directly interfere in the fight for the artifact, I'm afraid the True Lords won't bother to pay attention to our trivial matters."

Xia Wenyi couldn't help but nod his head. He thought about how his senior sister had avenged Hu Xin by beheading six incoming monks in public, but the final result was nothing more than house arrest. Plus, there was the recent cleanup of Mozhou Road. Logically, they must have violated the rules, but nothing happened to them.

Leng Kezhen saw Xia Wenyi thinking, and continued: "If it doesn't work, we can go one step further and find some scapegoats. As long as we can control the inside and outside of Jinhuai City, who is the bad guy and who is the good guy is just a matter of our words. Besides, Chu State is only a four-way land now, and all the allies of Changqing Zhenren are around. Who can really make any waves?"

After hearing this, Xia Wenyi finally spoke up: "If this matter is given to you, what do you need?"

Leng Kezhen showed just the right amount of joy on his face, and said, "First of all, it's the righteousness. The righteousness of Chu is the imperial edict. Secondly, there are enough people. As long as we have these two things, the court of Chu will be clear within three days."

"Do you want Jinhuai City to become a river of blood?" Liu Qin's voice was sharp.

"It won't be a river of blood, but there may be some deaths. My Lord, there is no need to worry too much about them. When the old party dies, the new party will fill in immediately. They will help us trample on the corpses of the old party, and even help us pick up the butcher knife."

Leng Kezhen said this with a flattering smile.
