Chapter 1188: Chapter 421: Heavenly Emperor Commands the Dragon
Li Ping’an closed his doors to visitors, understanding the Dao and meditating, remaining calm and unmoved.
Meanwhile, outside it became exceptionally lively.
Li Dazhi was the first to act, extensively promoting the matter of [the Heavenly Emperor expelling innate gods and demons] in areas under the influence of the East Continent, West Continent, Misty Realm, and Heavenly Court.
——Repelling innate gods and demons to expel external enemies and protect the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth was a profoundly significant act that undoubtedly needed to be well-publicized.
However, just as the Heavenly Court was engaging in positive propaganda, some rumors began to surface within the territories of the Human Race.
The rumors were simple:
[The ancient dragon plain was destroyed by innate gods and demons, the Dragon Clan desires to return to the main land and compete with the Human Race for the four continents.]
The rumors caused tremendous damage.
A large number of Qi Cultivators left the main land, heading towards the direction of the arriving Dragon Clan and Ocean Race.
Within less than half a day, the Heavenly Court posted notices in cities of the East and West Continents of the main land, actively dispelling the rumors.
[The Dragon Clan will not directly clash with the Human Race, they just want to return to the main land for a place to settle down and establish themselves.]
These notices had a blatant counterproductive effect.
A large number of ‘Human Race extremists’ stepped forward, rushing to Dong’an City, to the secret entrance of Xuanyuan Palace, to the immigration entry of the Holy Mother Palace, and shouted ‘Protect the territories of the Human Race’, criticizing the Heavenly Court for selling out the interests of the Human Race to win over the Dragon Clan.
On the surface, the situation quickly escalated out of control.
Students from the Heavenly Court school within the Holy Mother Palace debated with the extremists, and the young men, filled with zeal, engaged in fierce fights over their disagreements.
Fortunately, several elders from the Casting Cloud Sect ‘coincidentally’ passed by, mediating and separating the two sides, preventing any fatalities, though two or three people were injured, spilling the blood of immortals.
This incident alarmed the elder dames of the Holy Mother Palace, spreading widely across the East Continent.
A few Xuanyuan ministers rushed out from Xuanyuan Palace;
A group of old merits flew out from the Eastern Alliance;
These old ministers went around putting out fires, telling the Human Race about how the Dragon Clan had aided them and wouldn’t turn against the Human Race during such times, arguing that the Dragon Clan only sought a place to stay.
Rather than having a positive effect, the ministers’ firefighting attempts confirmed the Dragon Clan’s intention to settle in the main land.
Behind it all was an invisible hand, using a dozen major cities as engines to guide the rhythm of public opinion, continually controlling its direction.
How could the Qi Cultivators of the Desolate Era have gone through such incidents?
The direction of public opinion across the regions quickly became just as the behind-the-scenes orchestrators wanted…
“Now the Heavenly Court wants to use the Dragon Clan, surely they will show goodwill to the Dragon Clan, although we can understand the Heavenly Emperor’s painstaking intentions, if the Dragon Clan and Ocean Race return to the main land, can we the Human Race still have the final say over it?”
“The ancestors of the Human Race paved the way through thorns, creating a glorious era for us. If we can’t even defend the main land, would we not be letting our ancestors down!”
“The Dragon Clan were ancient overlords, how could they be subservient to the Human Race!”
“Is the Heavenly Court still our Human Race’s Heavenly Court!”
That’s roughly how it went.
During the mere five or six days, the main land of the Vast Wilderness became tumultuous, though the Misty Realm remained stable, rumors rose everywhere, and Zi Yao and Wang Shan, who were in charge of internal affairs, were helpless.
Wang Shan and the others didn’t know who was continuously fueling the flames from behind.
The initiator of the incident was now sitting in a private room of a tea house in Dong’an City, listening to local tunes, watching dances, and leisurely sipping tea.
His figure was slightly plump, dressed in a crimson long robe, with simple tied-back hair, always wearing a cheerful smile on his fair complexion, occasionally casting a sharp glance from his eyes.
Who else could it be but Li Dazhi?
Stirring up the main land’s storm, igniting the Human Race’s public opinion, was part of their father-and-son plan.
In the corner of the private room, a shadow lightly swayed, and a black-clad woman stepped out quickly, supported the back of Li Dazhi’s chair, and whispered a few words.
Li Dazhi nodded, pondered carefully for a while, and whispered:
“Can you confirm it? The aura of the Dragon Clan’s war dragons?”
“I can confirm,” the woman whispered, “it was General Da Peng who sensed it. The Phoenix Clan and Dragon Clan are mortal enemies, so there will surely be various Secret Techniques targeting each other.”
Li Dazhi nodded slightly, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, gently tapping the armrest of his chair.
“Then proceed according to plan, start the fourth step. If the message leaks, you know the consequences.”
“If there is any error, I’ll immolate my Primordial Spirit!”
The woman clasped her fists in salute, stepped back two steps, and hid herself in the corner.
Li Dazhi picked up his cup of tea for another sip, continuing to listen to the storytelling and watching performances.
Their plan was actually not complicated.
The Heavenly Court wants to subdue the Dragon Clan, it must employ both kindness and severity, imposing pressure on the Dragon Clan;
At this stage, the Dragon Clan are victims who have just experienced invasions by innate gods and demons. Having accumulated much Dao merit from helping the Heavenly Court beforehand, the Heavenly Dao cannot directly bring down heavenly punishment on these major holders of karma.
Since the Dragon Clan currently has no pressure, then create pressure for them.
That’s why there are rumors everywhere, and fights before the celestial academy.
Li Dazhi’s arrangements are all aimed at causing a stir and leveraging the Human Race’s control over the main land to pressure the Dragon Clan.
In reality, when the Dragon Clan enter the main land, they just return to the seas, occupying the waters, while the Human Race Qi Cultivators rarely open retreats in waters, the two inherently lack direct interaction.
But now… without interaction, there is interaction.
The Dragon Clan wishes to return to the main heaven, while the Human Race is agitated.
Li Dazhi, upon learning that the Dragon Clan dispatched war dragons to investigate the Human Race’s ‘public sentiment,’ immediately began advancing the next step of the plan.
Within less than half a day, dozens of major cities in the East Continent, including Dong’an City, witnessed the emergence of…
