438 Han King Yinquan (1/2)

”Can we deal heavy losses to the common people path?”

Within the Han King manor in Xiqin City, a teen wearing a king robe was looking at the 2 people ahead of him with hesitant eyes.

Although the owner of this king manor, the 4th prince of Great Shang dynasty Yinquan, was already 50, his looks and body looked like that of a teen just over 20.

This was due to his martial path cultivation being extremely high. It allowed him to retain his youthful looks.

In front of his table, there were 2 people seated. Tailing Sect's Ji Lingzi gave off an aura filled with confidence, neither overbearing nor servile. Yuan Jiuchen who was beside him sat solemnly—his gaze was careful and respectful.

”If your highness Han King is willing to lend 800 dingxi iron cavalry, Ji Lingzi is confident that I will be able to cause huge damage to the common people path! The common people path are a bunch of ambitious wolves, determined to take down law, order, and rites, to build an equal society. Isn't that preposterous? The current emperor deeply hates these traitors and rebels. If you can cut off the heads of those 500 common people path bandits, the emperor would be delighted, and your highness will be able to be rewarded.”

Yinquan wasn't tempted. He took a deep breath,” Rewarded? Forget it. On this day, I am only asking not to be punished, I am not asking for credit. One rebellion of Yan City Pass is enough. Recently I heard that you guys have suffered heavy losses in Lewu County against common people path. Is that true? I heard that at that time, your strength was over that of common people's path.”

Ji Lingzi clenched his fists. This matter had been spread about, causing the sects of the cloud world to be an uproar. They weren't able to hide it from the Han King who saw the provinces of the west as his own territory.

”Indeed that happened! It was because of that loss that we have higher chances of winning now. I will fall for it once, but I definitely won't fall for it twice! Your Highness, can don't believe me but do you not believe in the strength of Tailing Sect?”

The Han King Yinquan didn't fully believe him when he heard that. A weird expression appeared in his eyes, smiling as he asked, ”Then where is your sect preparing to attack from?”

”Helian Iron Mountain!”

Ji Lingzi didn't hesitate when he answered, ”Today the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light! They are on the offensive. If our sect wants to win common people's path, we can't sit still and wait on them to assassinate commander Yuan. The common people's path has to save Helian Iron Mountain! Using those 3 million people as a hostage, would the people from common people path save them or not? Ji Lingzi is coming over to ask you to make an order. He's going to ask your highness to execute all of these Yan City Pass sinners!”

”Execute?”

Yinquan's pupils constricted. Then, he scoffed, ”Your Tailing Sect is really vicious. This concerns the lives of 3 million people. Aren't you afraid that once this matter is spread out, it would hurt the reputation of your top Taoist sect?”

”Since ancient times, successful people don't mind making sacrifices! Based on what I know, the common people path has sent up to 900 people. If just 3 million people can heavily damage the foundations of these demons, the foundations of Great Shang would become more stable. Doesn't your highness think that way too?”

Ji Lingzi flatly said—disregarding the mocking tone of Yinquan's words.

”So what if it spreads out? It's just the random words of some peasants, preposterous rumors, how would it shake the foundations of our Tailing sect? Your highness is also not a person who would harm others to help yourself!”

The mocking intent at the corner of his lips got thicker, but he didn't reject it. Instead, he showed signs of being tempted. Entering a long and deep consideration, after a long while did he shake his head, ”I still need to think about this matter, wait for my reply 2 days later…”

When Yuan Jiuchen heard that, he slightly relaxed. He exchanged glances with Ji Lingzi opposite him. Both of them knew that Han King was tempted.

This huge matter concerned the battle between 2 huge powers. For Yinquan to need 2 days to consider things carefully was to be expected. They also didn't want to continue forcing him. They all got up and took their leave.

Not long after the 2 of them left, a 70 over year old looking old man suddenly walked out from behind the curtains and sat on the side.

Yinquan wasn't surprised at all. His brows frowning tightly as he took up a bamboo letter from his table. It was something a small constable submitted a month ago. Using spiritual sense to record down all he received regarding the intel of what happened during the battle of Wule County. It was the most detailed copy.

”Unparalleled formation charger, grade 6 realm, comprehended the extreme of sword sense! I heard that this person's sword is sentient, showing signs of being one with the spirit. Tanqiu? Hey! This common people path has given birth to another top talent. Old Li what are your views?”

”During the battle of Lewu City, Tailing Sect lost too much and badly needs to turn the tables.”

After that surnamed Li old man sat down, his replies were very simple and concise, ”Because this Tanqiu is too extraordinary. He's a tree standing out in the forest. This is why Tailing Sect has to destroy him! This time, they are sincerely asking help from your highness…”

Yinquan nodded his head. That was also what he guessed, ”Then should I agree or not. Should I stand by the side?”

”There are pros and cons to each choice! Since your highness has attacked common people's path, there is no need to offend them to death. However, if you can get some finances from Tailing Sect, then it would be good too…”

Halfway into his words, Old man Li saw that Yinquan's eyes were filled with rage. He smiled and knew that his ambiguous words had infuriated his highness.

”However, before your highness makes a decision, I think it is best if you take a look at this first?”

Yinquan agreed, casually taking it over. Only to see that it was an invitation in his hand after he opened it his eyelids jumped.

”Elegant Xuanyin pavilion? Tanqiu?”

”That Elegant Xuanyin pavilion belongs to the Qingyin School…”

”I know that. However, Tanqiu is bold!”

Yinquan's eyes were filled with shock, ”He wants to meet me 3 days later in Elegant Xuanyin Pavilion?”

”Not only that!”
