Chapter 2042 - Jiang Chen’s Scheme (1/2)
“Very well, Jiang Chen, after Heaven Sovereign is ousted, Heavenly Sovereign Palace shall be granted to you as your future residence in the Immortal Court.”
Star Sovereign looked at Jiang Chen with appreciation. Furthermore, he had given out a good deal, by granting Jiang Chen the Heavenly Sovereign Palace. Only Jiang Chen deserved such a reward from him in the whole Immortal Court.
“Thank you, Sovereign Lord. However this disciple has a question.”
Jiang Chen acted as if he was surprised and excited.
“Ask away.”
Star Sovereign was feeling extremely happy, Jiang Chen was very pleasing to his eyes now.
“Sovereign Lord, would the others in the Immortal Court object you in ousting Heaven Sovereign?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Nobody would object, this is not just what this sovereign wants, however. I also want everyone’s support. But there’s those old fashioned neutral faction in the Immortal Court. For them, they do not care who becomes the Sovereign Lord, whether be it me or Heaven Sovereign. Especially, Senior Ling and your master, Feng Jingyang. ” Star Sovereign said.
He seemed troubled when he mentioned Senior Ling and Feng Jingyang. These two were both upright people and their stance was hard to change.
Whereas Star Sovereign wanted more than just ousting Heaven Sovereign. He wanted everyone to respect him, to revere him, he wanted to become the true master of the Immortal Court, without a shred of opposition under him.
“Sovereign Lord, why not let this disciple change the thinking of my master and Senior Ling.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile as if he was willing to share the burden of Star Sovereign.
“Oh? Jiang Chen, it’ll be great if you’re able to help me convince them, it’s better than me convincing them myself. Moreover, with your burst in cultivation level, identity and status, plus having summoned by me today, everyone would know that you're going to be an important person in the future. Furthermore, your future achievements would surely be boundless with the extraordinary talent you possess. This is something Feng Jingyang and Senior Ling understood. Hence, you’re the best choice in being my proxy.”
Star Sovereign was extremely excited, he had never thought that Jiang Chen would be this obedient and thoughtful. Ousting Heaven Sovereign would be extremely easy if Jiang Chen was able to convince Ling Liqun and Feng Jingyang.
“It is this disciple’s duty to help lessen the Sovereign Lord’s burden. Furthermore, Sovereign Lord is blessed by the Heavens, Senior Ling and master had no reason to not support you.”
Jiang Chen flattered Star Sovereign profusely.
“Very well! Jiang Chen, this matter shall be managed by you! I hope there are no objections and neutral stances in tomorrow’s assembly.”
Star Sovereign patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder and said with appreciation.
“Rest assured, Sovereign Lord.”
Jiang Chen clasped his fist towards Star Sovereign and left.
After leaving Star Sovereign Palace, Jiang Chen gave out a sinister smile, he was just looking for an excuse to meet Ling Liqun by accepting the task given by Star Sovereign.
He had already talked with Feng Jingyang. Whereas Ling Liqun, being the same as Feng Jingyang back then, he needed to win this man over as they were both neutral faction members.
Moreover, Ling Liqun’s influence was stronger than Feng Jingyang and he was also a Sixth Grade Great Sovereign. If a battle were to erupt, he would be a great force to be reckoned with.
Jiang Chen had inquired some news from Feng Jingyang beforehand. Regarding the high ranking officials of the Immortal Court, there are three Sixth Grade Great Sovereigns, which are Star Sovereign, Ling Liqun and Hu Yong. Hu Yong was quite close with Star Sovereign, hence he would unconditionally support Star Sovereign.
