Chapter 170: Chapter 141: The Myriad Manifestation Sect’s Plan (Two-in-One) _3

And this is one of the reasons why refugees are everywhere nowadays.

Lao Wu took a deep breath:

"The Imperial Court cannot hold out forever, they will revert to the ancestral system. I reckon once the Crown Prince accedes to the throne, that black-robed Prime Minister Xu Yinhè will have to soften his stance."

The man with the beard smiled softly upon hearing this:

"The Prime Minister’s Mansion is reigning supreme. If this influence continues for another hundred years, I’m guessing they might become another grand family that could start their own Sect; it’s not entirely out of the question."

"Heh heh, I wonder where Xu Yinhè will choose for his location. Most likely it will be somewhere in Jiangnan. Last time at the Tianyuan competition, the folks from Nine Swords Sect in Jiangnan were rolling in wealth."

With that,

the two men looked at each other and smiled.

This was a widespread consensus among the Sects.

Today, the Emperor and the Prime Minister’s Mansion might indeed have some flawed ideas, but the problem isn’t significant, because reality will force them to abandon this mistaken line of thinking.

The world doesn’t belong to Dayan alone but to both Dayan and the Sects.

Without the cooperation of the Sects, despite Dayan’s continued prosperity, signs of chaos have already emerged within a short span of twenty-odd years.

Once you recognize your mistakes and revert to the ancestral system, pay the price, and everyone sits down together, everything will be as before.

You, the Li Family, will still be the imperial family; you, the Prime Minister’s Xu Residence, will continue to be the foremost grand family in the world.

The two of them refrained from further conversation and followed the winding corridor all the way to the Myriad Manifestation Sect’s inner sanctuary, the Council Hall.

Pushing open the doors,

two rows of chairs were neatly arranged on both sides of the hall, all filled with people, while an elderly man with a goat beard sat in the seat of honor.

The Myriad Manifestation Sect Master looked at the two latecomers with a slight smile:

"Lao Wu, Lao Yao, take a seat. We were just discussing you."

The pair smiled and walked to their respective places to sit down.

Lao Wu said with a smile:

"Sect Master, did you call us over in such a hurry to discuss matters concerning Shengshan County?"

The Sect Master’s deep-set eyes twinkled as he replied:

"Of course, this time our Myriad Manifestation Sect has invested over two million taels of silver in Shengshan County, a matter that naturally demands attention."

The bearded man stroked his chin, his smile tinged with a hint of teasing:

"We owe it all to the Fourth Miss from the Prime Minister’s Mansion. If Old Xu Yinhè weren’t so arrogant, I’d even consider proposing a marriage alliance with their Xu Residence right in the capital."

The Sect Master laughed noncommittally:

"That girl’s skills as an Array Master, taught by Jiang He, are naturally profound. If not for her Illusory Grand Formation, our plan might have been delayed by several years."

"Alright, Sect Master, have all the refugees gathered there?"

"They’re mostly assembled, over two hundred thousand people. There are about one hundred seventy thousand residents in the city, plus the caravan guards, various Rangers, and the stationed Border Army, the number of people with martial abilities exceeds twenty thousand."

"And the Demonic Beasts?"

"Enough Beast Luring Incense has been prepared."

"Does this mean... we can begin the Formation?"

"Certainly."

"There won’t be any traces left, right?"

"Don’t worry, it’s clean. The Demonic Beasts are responsible for it."

"Hehe....."

Everyone in the room laughed, for they all knew how much benefit this plan would bring to their Myriad Manifestation Sect.

The Sect Master tapped his chair, pausing for a moment before saying aloud:

"Alright, now that everyone’s here, let’s proceed with the final vote."

Upon these words,

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

To get to this point, the vote was merely a formality; all the Elders present unanimously passed the resolution to activate the Grand Formation.

Seeing this, the Sect Master slowly stood up, his gaze turning towards the direction of Shengshan County:

"Send the message,

"Commence the Formation, create... the Ghost Mist!"
