Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

After Lu Jing became the Immortal Emperor of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, he thought he could secure his position with the help of the Blood Eagle Palace, but he found that the Immortal Kings of the royal family did not listen to him at all.

The officials of the Immortal Dynasty also opposed him at every turn. At this time, Lu Jing was very clear that he was just a puppet emperor, and his orders could not even be transmitted out of the capital.

Lu Jing surveyed the ministers in the hall with a gloomy expression. The immortal emperor he wanted to be was not like this. He did not want to be a puppet emperor, but an emperor who held real power and made others do whatever he wanted.

At this moment, Lu Jing spoke up and said, "I discovered a few days ago that there were still some of Chen Wang's former subordinates in Xuan Yue Palace, so I sent someone to ask Xuan Yue Palace to hand over those remnants. However, Xuan Yue Palace not only refused to hand over those remnants, but also killed the messenger I sent."

Upon hearing this, the ministers looked at each other, clearly unaware of the matter. They were puzzled as to why Lu Jing was bringing this up at this time.

If they don't want to hand it over, they don't have to. Now that Prince Chen is dead, his old followers will probably disperse soon and won't be able to cause any trouble.

Seeing the nonchalant expressions on the faces of the ministers in the hall, Lu Jing was furious. He immediately said, "Xuan Yue Palace is just an outside force, yet it dares to be so arrogant. This matter cannot be left unresolved. If the former subordinates of Prince Chen are not eliminated, who knows what kind of trouble they will bring to the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty in the future. Therefore, I have decided to send troops to attack Xuan Yue Palace immediately."

Upon hearing Lu Jing's words, all the ministers in the hall were stunned.

Attack the Xuan Yue Palace?

Are you kidding me!

You, a celestial emperor, don't think about consolidating your throne, but instead think about launching wars against other countries.

Although the Xuan Yue Palace currently only has two Immortal Kings, the Immortal Sect's fortune is currently very strong. With the blessing of the Immortal Sect's fortune, their Immortal Kings are more powerful than ordinary Immortal Kings.

Attacking Xuan Yue Palace at this time, even if we can conquer it, the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty will likely suffer heavy losses, and we don't know how many Immortal Kings will die.

The Heavenly Xia Immortal Dynasty only has a few Immortal Kings. If more than three Immortal Kings die, the Heavenly Xia Immortal Dynasty will probably be destroyed by other forces before long.

The ministers present were somewhat puzzled as to what had gotten into Lu Jing that he would actually think of attacking Xuan Yue Palace.

At this moment, the ministers recovered from their shock, and one minister quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must not! The Xuan Yue Palace is currently at the height of its fortune. If we attack the Xuan Yue Palace at this time, the most likely result will be mutual destruction."

Another minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I recently heard that the Xuan Yue Palace has gained another Immortal King. Now that the Xuan Yue Palace has two Immortal Kings, there is no way we can conquer it."

Subsequently, more and more ministers stood up to stop Lu Jing.

"Your Majesty, you have only just ascended the throne. You must not waste resources and manpower by launching wars at will."

"Your Majesty, please prioritize the well-being of the nation and do not lead the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty into utter ruin for your own selfish reasons."

……

Hearing the ministers' advice, Lu Jing's face grew increasingly grim. The ministers' tone was increasingly forceful, almost threatening to depose him as emperor if he dared to start a war.

Although Lu Jing had anticipated that these ministers would object, he did not expect that there would be so many ministers who objected, and that they would speak in such a forceful tone, showing no respect for him, the Immortal Emperor.

Although he was only at the Immortal Lord level, he was still the Immortal Emperor of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty.

Lu Jing could no longer contain himself. He slammed his hand on the armrest of the dragon throne. "Enough!"

Seeing that Lu Jing was angry, the ministers in the hall fell silent instantly. At this moment, Lu Jing said, "Do you really think that I want to attack Xuan Yue Palace?"

Upon hearing Lu Jing's words, the ministers were immediately puzzled. Wasn't this the same thing he had just mentioned about attacking Xuan Yue Palace?

At this moment, Lu Jing spoke up, saying, "We request that the special envoy appear."

As soon as Lu Jing finished speaking, a man dressed in a green robe appeared in the hall. This man was only at the Immortal Lord level, but when he appeared, all the ministers present were stunned.

Although the newcomer has not yet revealed his identity, people can tell from his clothes that he is from the Tianhua Palace.

No one expected that Lu Jing would find Tianhua Palace, the most powerful force in the Southern Region, to be his backer.

Seeing that the ministers in the hall were instantly stunned, Lu Jing sneered. At this moment, the immortal lord spoke up: "I am an outer gate steward of the Tianhua Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Immortal Lord Guihai took out an identity token to prove his identity.

Upon seeing the identity token of the Immortal Lord Guihai, the ministers couldn't help but wonder why Tianhua Palace was attacking Xuanyue Palace. Could it really be just to eliminate any potential threat?

If that's the case, then the Tianhua Palace would have wiped out all of Chen Wang's former subordinates billions of years ago. For a super power like the Tianhua Palace, Chen Wang's former subordinates posed no threat whatsoever.

At this moment, Lu Jing coldly asked, "Who still opposes sending troops to Xuan Yue Palace?"

For a moment, the entire hall was silent. No one spoke. Lu Jing had brought up the Tianhua Palace, so naturally no one dared to continue to object.

The Heavenly Xia Dynasty is no different from an ant in front of the Heavenly Hua Palace.

Seeing that no one objected, Lu Jing said, "Since no one objects anymore, the court assembly is adjourned. I urge all my ministers to actively prepare for war, since the Special Envoy Guihai will be staying in the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty for some time."

Upon hearing Lu Jing's words, the expressions on the faces of the ministers present all turned somewhat unpleasant.

If the special envoy from Tianhua Palace keeps a close eye on them, they won't dare to shirk their duties. If they offend Tianhua Palace, they won't even know how they died.

Lu Jing didn't waste any more words with the ministers. He simply stood up and walked towards a side hall, where the ministers immediately bowed and said, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"

A moment later, Lu Jing arrived at the side hall, and Guihai Immortal Lord followed him there.

As soon as the two arrived at the side hall, Immortal Lord Guihai said with a smile, "Your Majesty, being an Immortal Emperor must be quite tiring for you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jing sighed deeply, "This time, we are very grateful to the special envoy. If it weren't for the special envoy, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to mobilize the army."

Guihai Immortal Lord said calmly, "It's alright, this was originally Qingyun Immortal King's order."

When Lu Jing first cooperated with the Blood Eagle Palace, he was worried that he would not be able to mobilize the army of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty. But just then, Immortal Lord Guihai came to the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty from the Blood Eagle Palace. Only then did Lu Jing realize that attacking the Xuan Yue Palace was not only the Blood Eagle Palace's idea, but also the Tianhua Palace's idea.

With Tianhua Palace backing him up, Lu Jing naturally became much more assertive, and he planned to use this war to consolidate power in his own hands.
