"Your Majesty."
Ji Qianqian’s gaze was cold, and her tone was utterly expressionless: "Daning did not turn over Chu Rulai. They say Chu Rulai got wind of it early, and escaped before the Police Pool of Blood could apprehend him. They claim they will continue to hunt him down and give us an explanation soon.
Aside from this, they have sent over the heads of the Western Capital Chu Family’s seven branches, along with 27 members of the direct lineage, totaling 27 coffins. They were all the Chu family members who once joined forces with Chu Rulai to betray the Emperor, conspiring to surround and kill the house guards of the Chu family’s main branch."
Chu Xisheng chuckled coldly upon hearing this.
Soon? Who knows how long that will be?
By the time Emperor Jianyuan feels he has stabilized his footing, the matter with Chu Rulai will just fade away, right?
But upon hearing the latter statement,
his sword-like eyebrow slightly raised, and he let out a light laugh: "He sent these people? That’s actually quite helpful, I was just worrying about how to deal with them."
Chu Xisheng looked at Ji Qianqian: "Qianqian, what do you think? Did Chu Rulai truly escape or is it a ruse? Should I, as they wish, let Chu Rulai go for now and temporarily cease hostilities with Daning?"
"Whether Chu Rulai truly escaped or not, he is definitely not in Wang’an City now, or even within the Heluo Two States. Even though Emperor Jianyuan intends to deceive and toy with you, he is still very wary of Your Majesty. Even if he carries a sense of false confidence and wishes to shield Chu Rulai, he would still leave himself room for negotiation."
Ji Qianqian’s eyes showed a hint of bitterness as she continued: "In my humble opinion, Your Majesty must not let it go easily. Should you concede, the world will surely think you are easy to fool!"
She cupped her hands, her voice ringing like iron: "I am willing to head north immediately and bring back Chu Rulai’s head for you."
"You are right."
Chu Xisheng smiled satisfactorily at her words: "But Qianqian, you are my right-hand person. Sending you to hunt Chu Rulai would really be overkill. Your immediate duty alongside the Heavenly Jinyi Guards is to assist Ruoxi in supervising local areas and implementing my governance policies."
The key point is, he had just used eighteen Wish Stones each on the Tie Brothers, Liu Ruoxi, Zhoou Liangchen, Zuo Qingyun, and Ji Qianqian.
The wish for the next six months was to enhance their comprehension and spiritual wisdom to the utmost.
The best cost-to-value ratio was that each Wish Stone, worth 1000 Heavenly Origin Points, corresponded to 10 days.
In the following half-year, he indeed needed these trusted subordinates to help consolidate the state affairs and monitor the local areas; meanwhile, this period was also when they would advance in Martial Arts most rapidly.
Chu Xisheng himself had no leisure to head north either.
In these few months, he must accumulate True Yuan as much as he can, refining cultivation and transforming the Wish Stones and Heavenly Origin Points from the system into his strength, then promote to Second Grade!
The cultivation plan had long been scheduled, and he really had no mind to tangle with Emperor Jianyuan and that Zhe Dragon up north.
Focusing on upgrading his cultivation was the right thing to do.
He slightly pondered and then glanced outside the hall: "Chu Ming, come in!"
Chu Ming was hiding in the right corner outside the hall.
There was a shadow there that the candle light couldn’t reach.
Upon hearing his command, her expression flickered, and she immediately appeared within the hall.
Chu Ming first bore the intense pressure brought by the Primordial Spirit restrictions, glanced at Chu Xisheng on the throne, and then knelt down: "Master!"
Chu Xisheng took a step forward to stand before her.
He regarded Chu Ming intently, his gaze carrying meaning: "Interesting, I couldn’t sense the slightest kill intent or hostility from you."
This is a Near-God level evil corpse with spiritual wisdom and a Primordial Spirit.
In Chu Xisheng’s ’Divine Intent Blade Heart’ reflection, Chu Ming’s kill intent and hostile thoughts should be substantial.
Yet at this moment, Chu Xisheng felt no hostility from Chu Ming toward him.
Chu Ming’s face remained calm, yet her eyes held a trace of helplessness.
She bowed her head: "The fate of Ming Slave is indeed self-inflicted, I admit and admire Your Majesty’s means. Strictly speaking, I cannot be counted as Chu Ming; all of Chu Ming’s past has nothing to do with me."
Chu Xisheng’s revenge on her was well-justified.
Nonetheless, Emperor Jianyuan’s schemes and betrayal left an indelible mark on her heart.
"Is that so? Her past has nothing to do with you, yet the resentment and hatred are still so strong and unresolved."
Chu Xisheng chuckled softly, without saying anything further.
He then placed a hand on Chu Ming’s shoulder: "Focus, concentrate!"
Chu Ming initially did not understand his intention, until twelve Red Gold Giant Dragons suddenly emerged around Chu Xisheng.
Her body too, in an instant, ignited in a blaze of golden flames.
"What is this?"
Chu Ming realized that the bloodline powers of Vengeance and Golden Crow within her were undergoing violent distortion and transformation.
Her Divine Intent Blade Heart was likewise undergoing great change under a tremendous force.
"Ruyi Skill!"
Chu Ming’s pupils showed a trace of shock.
Chu Xisheng was utilizing his mighty Imperial Dragon Energy to harmonize and integrate the myriad Qi veins, Netherworld Origin Evil Power, various Forbidden Techniques, and bloodline powers within her, even including the Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, Root Bone Marrow, Sea of Consciousness——naturally including the ’Divine Intent Blade Heart’ within her Primordial Spirit.
Even though it wasn’t fundamentally altering their internal structure, it helped her integrate and optimize.
Chu Ming knew she was essentially a product cobbled together from various Spiritual Medicines and Outer Powers by Emperor Jianyuan.
Her strength appeared formidable, reaching Near-God Level.
