Chapter 1326 -1016: Qi Zong’s Analysis
Qingyun Dynasty.
Imperial Palace, Jinluan Hall.
Inside the grand hall, resplendent and radiant with light swirling around, stood an old man in a blue long robe with white hair, in the midst of the hall, gazing at the scene projected by the Projecting Stone with an exceedingly solemn expression.
At this moment, a man dressed in a yellow Dragon Robe entered the grand hall and said to the elder, “Ancestor, I think Pei Tianlu won’t be coming back.”
Upon hearing Emperor Yun Qi Hongguang’s words, Qi Zong sighed and responded, “It’s hard to say; a man close to death is unpredictable in his actions.”
Ever since the Qingyun Dynasty assisted Pei Wenfu in securing the throne, they have been continually searching for the whereabouts of Pei Tianlu and Pei Shuhua, but to this day, they have not found any trace of them.
The universe is vast, and for a Great Emperor and a Quasi-Emperor to seek hiding is indeed not an easy task, akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
If Pei Tianlu and Pei Shuhua indeed found a place to hide and do not return, then the Qingyun Dynasty need not worry excessively.
The critical issue is that on the day Pei Tianlu escaped the Chiyue Dynasty, both Qi Zong and Qi Hongguang felt the terrifying Dark Power emanating from Pei Tianlu’s body.
As Great Emperors, although they did not know what the Dark Power was, they could clearly sense that it had the potential to erode their lifeforce.
Moreover, they suspected that it was the erosion from the Dark Power that led to the early approach of Pei Tianlu’s end.
If Pei Tianlu wished to engage in a mutually destructive act and directly approached the Qingyun Dynasty to self-destruct, releasing the Dark Power within him, the Qingyun Dynasty could very well succumb to instant ruin.
Aware of the terrifying nature of the Dark Power within Pei Tianlu, the Qingyun Dynasty has never ceased their search for him over the years.
Under no circumstance can they allow Pei Tianlu to get near the Qingyun Dynasty.
At that moment, Qi Hongguang continued, “Feng Tengfei has sent word that Pei Wenfu has gradually taken control of the Chiyue Dynasty’s Qi Fortune; perhaps it won’t be long before we can transfer the Chiyue Dynasty’s Qi Fortune to the Qingyun Dynasty.”
“Without the Qi Fortune of the Chiyue Dynasty to protect him, coupled with Pei Tianlu’s own impending demise, perhaps he will no longer be able to suppress the Dark Power within and will just perish in some corner of the universe.”
Hearing this, Qi Zong fell silent.
After a while, Qi Zong spoke, “Don’t transfer the Chiyue Dynasty’s Qi Fortune just yet; with the Chiyue Dynasty remaining, Pei Tianlu wouldn’t dare to seek mutual destruction with us. If even the Chiyue Dynasty ceases to exist, then Pei Tianlu would be utterly free of concerns.”
Even though Pei Tianlu wanted Pei Shuhua to ascend to the throne and the Qingyun Dynasty thwarted him, the Chiyue Dynasty is still in the hands of the Pei Family; no matter what, those Pei Family members are still Pei Tianlu’s descendants.
No matter how much Pei Tianlu hates that his progeny serve other dynasties like dogs, as the patriarch of the Pei Family, he wouldn’t be completely indifferent to the lives of his own offspring.
Now that the Qingyun Dynasty has completely taken control of the Chiyue Dynasty, killing those members of the Pei Family would be a matter of a simple thought.
With the Pei Family members in their hands, even if Pei Tianlu wishes to engage in mutual destruction with the Qingyun Dynasty, he must consider the consequences of such an act.
Should Pei Tianlu dare to seek revenge against the Qingyun Dynasty, the Qingyun Dynasty could also exterminate the entire royal family of the Chiyue Dynasty in an extremely short amount of time.
Now the Pei Family are hostages.
Qi Hongguang thought for a moment, feeling that his ancestor had a point, thus he spoke: “Alright, then let’s wait another hundred years. Judging from the Death Qi we sensed from Pei Tianlu that day, he definitely won’t survive a hundred years.”
As he said this, Qi Hongguang suddenly thought of something else and continued: “Right, Ancestor, there is one more thing.”
“The Ye Family from the Chiyue Dynasty has sent us a message that there exists another empire near the Chiyue Dynasty, named the Daxia Dynasty.”
“This empire was only recently established, with not even five hundred years of history, and it has many strange and extraordinary things, including Starships originating from that empire.”
With the Ye Family’s marketing, many products from the Daxia Dynasty were sold into the Daxia Empire, especially the Starships. A few years ago, when the Qingyun Dynasty learned of the existence of Starships, everyone was extremely interested, and all forces sought to obtain the blueprints for constructing Starships.
In the past, to traverse the starry seas, an Immortal Boat had to be crafted using Xianjin, which is scarce, and not every power possesses an Immortal Gold Mine.
Now, various forces have suddenly learned that there are Immortal Boats that can be manufactured without Xianjin, and of course, this has piqued great interest.
It’s just a pity that the Ye Family sold only a few Starships, and they also said that these Starships were bought from other Star Domains; even the Ye Family does not know the method of manufacture.
Hearing Qi Hongguang’s words, Qi Zong huffed and chuckled, “The Ye Family really knows how to play a good game.”
“First, release the news about the Starships to get the attention of various powers, and then convey the news about the Daxia Dynasty to us. It’s clear they are trying to use us to eliminate someone else.”
At this, Qi Zong asked, “How many Great Emperors does that Daxia Dynasty have?”
Qi Hongguang replied, “According to the information from the Ye Family, there seem to be two Great Emperors.”
“However, rumors say that the founder of the Daxia Dynasty is not a Great Emperor but a Saint. It is just that there is a Great Emperor supporting him from behind, which is why they were able to establish the Daxia Dynasty.”
“The Ye Family suspects that the founder of the Daxia Dynasty is not a Saint because it is impossible for a Saint to establish an empire. Therefore, they believe that there are indeed two Great Emperors in the Daxia Dynasty.”
Qi Zong pondered for a moment, then said: “It’s a consensus that a Saint is not qualified to establish an empire; every empire knows this. In your view, why would the Daxia Dynasty spread such falsehood?”
This…
Qi Hongguang thought for a moment but couldn’t figure out the reason. The lie spread by the Daxia Dynasty was too foolish—claiming a Saint could create an empire, when even a fool knows this so-called Saint must certainly be a Great Emperor.
Qi Hongguang said: “Ancestor, I can’t understand why the Daxia would tell this lie. Logically, every empire knows that only a Great Emperor can establish an empire. Their lie is meaningless. Any cultivator from an empire would know that the Daxia Dynasty has two Great Emperors.”
A faint smile appeared on Qi Zong’s face, “Since every cultivator from an empire knows that the founder of the Daxia Dynasty is a Great Emperor and thus infers the Daxia Dynasty has two Great Emperors, would the Daxia Dynasty spread such lies for no reason?
“Perhaps the founder of the Daxia Dynasty is indeed a Great Emperor, but the Daxia Dynasty does not have another Great Emperor. With a mix of truth and deception, they used a Saintly avatar to pose as the founder, leading people to deduce from the intelligence gathered that the Daxia has two Great Emperors. This is the purpose of the Daxia Dynasty’s deceit.”
Hearing Qi Zong’s analysis, Qi Hongguang suddenly saw the light and immediately said: “Ancestor means the Daxia Dynasty is bluffing?”
Qi Zong said: “Not exactly bluffing, after all, the claim that the Daxia Dynasty has two Great Emperors is the conclusion others have drawn. The Daxia Dynasty has never stated they have two Great Emperors from beginning to end.”
