Sect - Book 5, Chapter 182: Meeting Old Friends (2/2)

When Jiang Xishui heard Su Chen’s reply, he found it quite a “I knew it, you slimy bastard There’s no way you would ever pay a price if you didn’t need to See, Hanyan? I told you I was right”

Ji Hanyan replied, “Xishui and Ito Water Sheen because you had anticipated that Water Sheen wouldn’t make a move I didn’t think you were so selfish as to put Xishui in that kind of a tough spot”

Su Chen chuckled, “You two do ed to foresee this outcome, I probably wouldn’t want to say it aloud; otherwise, that could beXishui Then, the emperor would believe that Xishui spent all those years in the Hidden Dragon Institute for no reason, seeing as he is totally unable to influence his friends - especially a friend likeas you know So? How about an explanation?”

“What if I told you that it’s because I want to give Xishui so Xishui and Ji Hanyan glanced at each other, both clearly excited by this prospect

Jiang Xishui said, “What exactly do you mean, Brother Su?”

Su Chen said faintly, “There’s not a big difference between herding one herd of sheep and two In addition, Luo You’s bloodline is the first Desolate Beast Bloodline I encountered My Primordial Blood Aspect ca of its properties is quite deep Actually…… I did it before you even showed up”

As he spoke, he pulled out a scroll Jiang Xishui took it and was ecstatic as he scanned its contents “This is a way for you to upgrade the Luo You Bloodline!”

Ji Hanyan was delighted “So Xishui did lose toI need your help with”

“What is it? Speak”

“I heard that Xishui is now the Deputy Commander-In-Chief of the Subdued Sea branch of the navy, and that the navy is the most powerful military force in the entire country,” Su Chen coht”

“I want Xishui to become the Commander-In-Chief of the Subdued Sea branch of the navy”

“That’s i Xishui and Ji Hanyan immediately refuted

Unlike most other countries, Water Sheen’s navy was their most powerful force There were three branches of the navy in total - Subdued Sea, Calest

Because of how important the navy was to the country, the person placed in charge of any one of these branchesXishui was not the Crown Prince, so beco the Deputy Commander-In-Chief was already quite an iain complete control of the navy, it was possible that he could threaten the Crown Prince for his spot - and who kneould happen after he gained control of the navy?

Jiang Xishui had traveled all the way over to the Hidden Dragon Institute to study in order to avoid drawing attention

This was the reason why he had never appeared to showShaoxuan, the current Crown Prince, was pretty good as a result

But pretty good was just pretty good Per Xishui to becoracious, but it was iher

Su Chen chuckled “I know, but what if it’s only te Xishui was taken aback “Is there so you need the Subdued Sea branch to help out with?”

Su Chen nodded

“If that’s the case, I can talk to the Commander-In-Chief for you He should be able to……”

“No!” Su Chen shook his head “This is an extremely sensitive matter I need a person who has co to sustain losses onXishui squinted his eyes “A military operation?”

Su Chen nodded “Since Water Sheen is itching to fight, but the Harpies are no longer a viable target, why not choose another group?”

Ji Hanyan hurriedly said, “Su Chen, you ht not know this, but the huh there have been so the past tens of thousands of years, we have been friends most of the time”

Unlike other countries, Water Sheen was not at odds with their neighbors, the Oceanids

“I know I’ht the Oceanids, just the beasts in their territory,” Su Chen said

When Jiang Xishui and Ji Hanyan heard this, they both visibly relaxed “There shouldn’t be an issue with that Actually, Water Sheen and the Oceanids have teamed up in the past for this express purpose”

Water Sheen and the Oceanids weren’t eneer creatures prowling the waters - Sea Beasts

These Sea Beasts were alinably powerful Their bodies were massive, and they often traveled in hordes In so beasts

Very few beasts could ever reach that size on land Beasts the size of the Thousand Poisons Toad were a dozen a handful in the waters

Of course, just because they were larger didn’t necessarily er than a Desolate Beast They were still Demonic Beasts in nature However, it was still an undeniable fact that their physiques were superior to many at the same tier as them

It was far er than any beast living on the land, assu they were at the same tier

As such, Des on land, Dens, and Sovereigns to Desolate Beasts

This made it abundantly clear just how difficult it was to survive in an environment like the sea

Desolate Beasts didn’t exist in the seas, but plenty of Sovereigns did

The fact that the Oceanids could withstand a virtually daily assault frons and make it out alive was quite miraculous in many ways

And part of the reason for this was the support that they received froh the Oceanids lived underwater, that didn’t mean they couldn’t survive on land They were, in some sense, amphibious, but they preferred to live in the water

But no one could ensure ould happen when they did go on land

To prevent the Sea Beasts fro that opportunity, Water Sheen chose to lend their support to the Oceanids, relying on them to keep the Sea Beasts at bay

As such, the relations between the huh there were soeneral trend was a positive one

Jiang Xishui had no issues with Su Chen wanting to attack the Sea Beasts

“Then what about Sovereigns?” Su Chen asked

“This…… If the plan is appropriate and aren’t too excessive, that is so Xishui replied after a ht

Su Chen asked, “Then what if it was a bunch of Sovereigns? What if we targeted a Sovereign lair?”

Jiang Xishui and Ji Hanyan were immediately stunned
