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

Gu Qizheng's original plan was to win over the Mixian Sect and then work together to cause trouble for the Wanxian Sect. The first batch of disciples from the Linghu Sect and the Mixian Sect had all disappeared, while the disciples of the Wanxian Sect were still around. It must have been the Wanxian Sect disciples who were behind this.

Once it was confirmed that the Myriad Immortals Sect was responsible, the Spirit Fox Sect and the Bewitching Immortals Sect would be on the same side. But now Bai Guangyu is telling them that the disciples of the Bewitching Immortals Sect and the Spirit Fox Sect killed each other and were eventually wiped out by the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although it sounded very fake, Baili Chen suddenly changed his mind at this moment, no longer pursuing the responsibility of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, and seemed to really believe what Bai Guangyu said.

In that case, how could Gu Qizheng not know what was going on? Most likely, the disciples of the Mi Xian Sect received a mission from the sect to attack the disciples of the Ling Hu Sect upon entering the Tianchen World. However, they underestimated the strength of the Ling Hu Sect disciples, which ultimately led to a lose-lose situation, and then the Great Xia Dynasty wiped them out in one fell swoop.

The result was that when the snipe and the clam fought, the fisherman profited.

Gu Qi thought for a moment. Now that the three major forces had formed an alliance, although some unpleasant things had happened before, these things could only be put aside for the time being after the alliance was formed.

Furthermore, now that the Misty Immortal Sect has turned against him, he can't possibly drag the Misty Immortal Sect's disciples down to fight against the Myriad Immortals Sect, so he can only give up on that idea.

Since the first batch of disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect have already disappeared, once the restrictions on the Misty World are lifted, let their elders and sect leader argue about it; they don't need to worry about these things anymore.

Their main task now is to eliminate the disciples of other sects and factions in the Misty World.

Thinking of this, Gu Qi looked at Bai Guangyu and said, "After the restriction disappears, I will tell our sect leader exactly what you said. As for whether he believes it or not, that is his business."

Bai Guangyu smiled faintly, showing an attitude that he didn't care at all.

……

Half a month later.

Yancheng.

The Hall of State Affairs.

Today is another grand court assembly, and the main topic of discussion is the fight against the invaders from the Mist World.

Li Rui stood in the center of the hall and said, "The invaders from the Misty World are wantonly killing my people and occupying my territory. In particular, the people living near the Misty World live in fear every day. Your Majesty, I believe that we can no longer allow those invaders to continue to act with impunity."

As Li Rui finished speaking, a minister said, "I also believe that we cannot allow those invaders to continue to persecute the people of Great Xia. However, with Great Xia's current strength, it is probably difficult to fight against those invaders from the Misty World."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's gaze immediately fell on the minister.

The next moment, the minister's identity information appeared in front of Lu Chen.

Name: Huang Minghui

[Position: Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Great Xia Dynasty. After being misled by Lei Wende, a disciple of the Spirit Fox Sect, he believed that the Great Xia Dynasty was beyond saving, so he chose to join the Spirit Fox Sect.]

[Strength: Rank 8]

Loyalty: 10

Upon seeing Huang Minghui's information, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly. He thought to himself that releasing Lei Wende would be useful.

Not long after Ravende was released, the treacherous officials in the court jumped out on their own.

Lu Chen knew Huang Minghui somewhat, after all, they were both Vice Ministers of the Ministry of Revenue.

Huang Minghui was a minister from the old capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. He was initially quite loyal to Lu Chen, with a loyalty level of around 60. Later, his loyalty level rose to 70 or 80, which is why he was able to rise to the position of Vice Minister of Revenue.

Lu Chen glanced at Huang Minghui and then said calmly, "In your opinion, Minister Huang, what should we do?"

Huang Minghui said, "I believe we should send envoys to negotiate with the various forces in the Misty World and cultivate good relations with them."

Li Rui then said, "Minister Huang's idea is probably too naive. The invaders from the Misty World want our world's land. If we want to improve relations with them, does that mean we have to cede land to them?"

Huang Minghui said, "In the end, those forces in the Misty World are just some sects. Even if we give them some land, it won't have any impact on the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Moreover, the sects and forces in the Misty World are all exceptionally powerful. If Your Majesty can win them over, the strength of Great Xia will rise to another level in the future."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Minister Huang's idea resonates with me. I believe we should indeed cultivate good relations with the forces in the Misty World."

Seeing that Lu Chen had said that, Li Rui had no choice but to shut up. However, Li Rui felt that Lu Chen probably didn't think that way. The reason he had taken the initiative to fight against the invaders was because he sensed that the emperor had already decided to kill them.

Now the emperor says he wants to make peace with the invaders from the Misty World and improve relations, but how is that possible?

Others have come to invade your world and are killing people indiscriminately on your land, yet you still say you want to maintain good relations with those forces. Li Rui doesn't believe Lu Chen is that kind of emperor.

He had been following Lu Chen ever since Lu Chen was still the Northern King. He knew Lu Chen too well; Lu Chen would definitely take action against those intruders.

Lu Chen then said, "I wonder if there are any other ministers who believe we should negotiate?"

At this moment, another minister stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I also believe that we should negotiate with the forces in the Misty World. This is an opportunity for the Great Xia Dynasty."

Subsequently, more ministers stepped forward, and even Lu Chen agreed to peace talks, so they no longer needed to hide their true thoughts.

In fact, from the beginning, many ministers believed that they should not clash with the forces of the Mist World. In particular, some ministers who knew about the Mist World felt that if the Great Xia Dynasty were to become enemies with the forces of the Mist World, there would definitely be no good outcome.

However, considering Lu Chen's personality, Lu Chen was the emperor of this world with absolute authority. He had more power than any emperor in the history of this world, and no one dared to talk about peace talks in front of Emperor Lu Chen.

They were afraid of angering Lu Chen.

Now that Lu Chen has agreed to peace talks, they can stop pretending.

Lu Chen glanced at the ministers in the hall who supported peace talks. Among these ministers were many loyalists, but most were wavering opportunists, and many of them had already dropped below thirty in loyalty.

Clearly, they did not have a high opinion of the Great Xia Dynasty, and many ministers were probably already thinking about surrendering or joining forces with the forces in the Misty World.

Lu Chen then said, "Since all of you ministers agree that peace talks are the best option, then I'll trouble you all to make the trip for me."

"I have a basic understanding of which forces have entered our world. Next, I would like to trouble you, my dear ministers, to meet with the representatives of those forces and express my willingness to sit down and negotiate with them. However, there are many forces in the Misty World, so I need to sit down and negotiate with all of them."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, for some reason, the ministers present felt something was off.

Should we negotiate with the forces of the Mist World?

Is it really peace talks?

If it's a peace talk, wouldn't the forces in the Misty World take this opportunity to divide up the Great Xia Dynasty?

Thinking of this, the ministers looked at Zhuge Chongguang, hoping he could say something to persuade Lu Chen.

However, Zhuge Chongguang simply sat quietly, without making a sound, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. (End of Chapter)
