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

Upon hearing the female guard's voice at the door, Lu Chen immediately said, "Come in."

The next moment, Liang Zong entered the Imperial Study.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Lu Chen said calmly, "No need for formalities. What's the situation in Black Dragon City?"

Liang Zong's recent work has focused on monitoring the movements of the Spirit Fox Sect. Since he has come, it means that the people in the Spirit Fox Sect have made some moves.

Liang Zong immediately handed the intelligence to Lu Chen and said, "The Spirit Fox Sect sent some people to Yan City and they are inquiring about the location of the Heavenly Celestials. It seems they intend to visit those Celestials and then win them over."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled.

Those who want to win him over?

It's ridiculous.

Lu Chen then opened the envelope Liang Zong had sent and glanced at the intelligence inside.

Liang Zong then asked, "Your Majesty, should we eliminate those people directly?"

Lu Chen said, "Those who came are all experts at the Dao Integration stage. I'm afraid your Embroidered Uniform Guard is no match for them."

Hearing this, Liang Zong felt somewhat ashamed. Although Liang Zong was now a Grandmaster, there was still a big difference between a Grandmaster and a pseudo-celestial being.

Moreover, the Embroidered Uniform Guard doesn't have many Grandmasters these days; most of them aren't even Grandmasters. If the Embroidered Uniform Guard were to deal with the disciples of the Spirit Fox Sect, they naturally wouldn't have the strength.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "I've thought of something interesting."

"You should find a way to send people to contact the disciples of the Spirit Fox Sect, and tell them that you are disciples of a certain Celestial Being, and that the Celestial Being is very interested in their Spirit Fox Sect."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Liang Zong instantly understood Lu Chen's meaning. Lu Chen intended to lure all the disciples of the Spirit Fox Sect here and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Liang Zong immediately bowed and said, "Understood, I will take care of it immediately."

Lu Chen said, "Don't rush things. We can take it slowly. If you rush things, it might arouse their suspicion."

If Liang Zong and his group are too hasty, the disciples of the Spirit Fox Sect will definitely notice. It's necessary to play hard to get in this situation.

Liang Zong immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will certainly handle this matter well."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and continued, "Here's what we'll do: have the Embroidered Uniform Guard spread the word that I've recently fallen out with Dean Mu, and that Dean Mu is considering leaving Yancheng and retiring to the mountains."

"Alright, you can go ahead and get back to work."

Since the people of the Spirit Fox Sect want to win over the Celestials of this world, then let's create opportunities for them. As soon as they hear that the Emperor and the Celestials have fallen out, they will definitely send someone to contact Mu Hongguang immediately.

Liang Zong immediately understood Lu Chen's meaning, "I will take care of it right away."

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

Liang Zong then left the Imperial Study and swiftly carried out Lu Chen's orders. That afternoon, news spread throughout the streets and alleys that His Majesty the Emperor and Mu Hongguang had fallen out.

Yancheng, the old city.

Inside a restaurant, there were some men dressed in strange clothes. Judging from their clothes, they were clearly not from Yancheng.

Moreover, their accents didn't sound like those of people from Yancheng. These people were incredibly bold; they swaggered around the restaurant, drinking and chatting as if they didn't care at all whether anyone discovered their identities.

At that moment, at the next table, some people were discussing something.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? Our Emperor has fallen out with that Celestial from the Primordial Academy."

"Really? What could they possibly have to do with each other?"

"Who knows? Perhaps it was because His Majesty promised him something back then, which is why the Primordial Temple pledged allegiance to His Majesty. Now that the world is unified, perhaps His Majesty has failed to fulfill his promise."

"I don't believe it! His Majesty couldn't possibly be that kind of person!"

"In my opinion, it's because the dean of Taichu Academy is too ambitious and wants too much. His Majesty couldn't satisfy him, so they fell out."

"That's definitely you, it's absolutely true."

"What should we do? If this celestial being falls out with His Majesty, won't another war break out?"

"He's just a Celestial Being, what's there to worry about? Our Emperor's strength has already far surpassed that of a Celestial Being."

……

Upon hearing the words coming from the next table, the Linghu Sect disciple was stunned for a moment. Meng Tian immediately gestured with his eyes for a disciple to go over.

The disciple immediately ran to a seat at that table and said with a smile, "How do you know His Majesty and the Celestials of Taichu Academy have fallen out? Did you hear a rumor from somewhere?"

Upon hearing this, the person who had spoken earlier couldn't hold back any longer and immediately exclaimed, "How could it be a rumor? His Majesty has already ordered the Dean of Taichu Academy to resign. The afternoon newspapers are all talking about it, so it's obviously true."

Seeing how agitated this person was, the Spirit Fox Sect disciple simply smiled faintly and then said, "Alright, even if this is true, how do you know that His Majesty's strength surpasses that of a Celestial?"

The man said, "Isn't this obvious? If our Emperor hadn't personally led the campaign, how could we have defeated dynasties like Dayue and Daqian, which possess array formations? And if our Emperor weren't strong enough, how could those celestial beings have pledged allegiance to him?"

"Therefore, our Emperor's strength must far surpass that of those celestial beings. Only in this way can our Emperor suppress those celestial beings."

The disciple of the Spirit Fox Sect smiled faintly, "What you said makes some sense."

At this point, the disciple from the Spirit Fox Sect didn't waste any more time talking to those people. He turned around and found out which table the Spirit Fox Sect disciples were sitting at.

At this moment, a disciple of the Spirit Fox Sect looked at Meng Tian and said, "Senior Brother Meng, what do you think? Should we try to win over that Celestial Being who fell out with Emperor Xia?"

Meng Tian's lips curled up slightly, and then he said with a smile, "Heaven is really giving us a chance. We've only just arrived in Yancheng, and the Xia Emperor has already fallen out with one of the Celestial Beings. If we can win over this Celestial Being, perhaps the few of us can wipe out the entire Great Xia."

At this moment, another disciple of the Spirit Fox Sect said, "Senior Brother Meng, I always feel that what those mortals said makes some sense. This Xia Emperor must be quite extraordinary, otherwise he couldn't possibly suppress so many celestial beings."

Meng Tian said nonchalantly, "So what if he's powerful? The spiritual energy in this world is thin. Even if he's at the tenth level of the Celestial Realm, he can only exert the strength of the second or third level at most."

"If we can win over the Celestials around him, and then cooperate with the formations of our Spirit Fox Sect, killing him will be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing Meng Tian's words, all the disciples of the Spirit Fox Sect nodded, agreeing that what he said made a lot of sense.

For a moment, they were all excited. They hadn't expected to be so lucky. They had only just arrived in Yancheng when they encountered the Xia Emperor and the Celestials turning against each other.

If they could eliminate the Xia Emperor and then install a puppet emperor, wouldn't the entire Great Xia Dynasty fall into the hands of their Spirit Fox Sect? (End of Chapter)
