Chapter 1677: Chapter 1697: If We’re Going to Do it, We Need a Large Array!_1

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "That’s good, isn’t it? We now have someone to set the stage. It should make it easier to stand strong when you negotiate and take action in the future. So, if anyone openly resists the Immortal Palace and disobeys orders, kill them. Just say the word if you want someone dead, there’s no need to feel guilty about it."

Yao Xuanji asked, "What about the second matter?"

Lin Chen said with a chuckle, "Interests! People join your side and fight against others out of sincerity, motivated by emotions, or for their own interests. Most are motivated by interests. If you want to compel them, you have to offer them substantial benefits."

"The Immortal Palace has been ruling the Immortal Domain for a long time, and even though the Domain Lord has not been handling affairs, there should at least have been some income and some accumulation over time, right?"

Yao Xuanji nodded and firmly responded, "Yes, there are many magical treasures, cultivation techniques, and other treasures in the Immortal Palace treasure vault. However, there is essentially no Immortal Medicine left. These have been contributed by the continents over the years. My father never handled many affairs, and there are not many people in the Immortal Palace, so a lot has been accumulated."

Lin Chen grinned, "That’s good. While these may not be of use to top powerhouses, they would definitely attract those who still have room for advancement. Besides, since this is war, all the possessions of the losers naturally become booty for the winners."

"With war, victory naturally brings rewards. When the time comes, these gains can be used as spoils of war and rewards for everyone. It’s enough if everyone gets something out of it."

Lin Chen’s words were not spoken in vain. The Heavenly Dao Alliance is clearly not just an organization made up of tens of powerhouses. They have probably absorbed countless sects."

The war between the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance will inevitably result in the annihilation of countless sects."

Each sect has its own territory and its own way of makings profits, all of which can be used as spoils of war for the victors."

War is undoubtedly the best way to get rich, so there’s no need to worry about not having enough benefits to offer to others."

Don’t have any?

Take it, then you’ll have it!"

Yao Xuanji was a bit surprised by Lin Chen’s determination."

Up until now, the struggles between the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance have all been covert. The Heavenly Dao Alliance has been developing in secret and the Immortal Palace does not want its decline to be discovered. But according to Lin Chen, if they go by his method, then the conflicts between the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance will quickly intensify, and may even yield uncontrollable results."

Lin Chen roughly understood Yao Xuanji’s worries and said quietly, "The growth of strength is always most difficult in the beginning, but once momentum is built, it’s hard to stop. It’s like a snowball rolling down a hill, constantly expanding until it finally becomes an unstoppable avalanche."

"It’s only natural that the Immortal Palace take the initiative. If you, the acting Domain Lord, were assassinated and yet still remain silent, others may think that the Immortal Palace can no longer hold up. Who would dare to stand by the Immortal Palace then?"

"By that time, most of the neutral parties would probably choose to stand with the Heavenly Dao Alliance. After all, who doesn’t want to fight a winning battle? If the Immortal Palace appears to hold the dominant position, people would see it as the stronger side..."

Yao Xuanji’s eyes lit up as she finally made a decision.

Lin Chen is right. Being assassinated as the acting Domain Lord, isn’t that the biggest provocation to the Immortal Palace?

Shouldn’t the Immortal Palace’s normal response be to relentlessly hunt down the Heavenly Dao Alliance throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?

If they pretend that nothing happened and that news gets out, everyone would definitely think that the Immortal Palace is done for. Under such circumstances, who would dare to help the Immortal Palace?

Lin Chen looked at Yao Xuanji’s sparkling eyes and knew that she had been persuaded by him. He laughed, "It hasn’t been too long since the assassination. You could use the excuse that you were secretly investigating the Heavenly Dao Alliance and cracking down on them during this time. Weren’t quite a few people under the Black-clothed Blood Envoy and the Red-clothed Blood Envoy killed before? You can write all of that down as war achievements to declare war, which would further strengthen the impression of the Immortal Palace’s dominance..."

"The Heavenly Dao Alliance would not dare to openly confront you, so you can inflate your achievements as much as you want, proclaiming the Heavenly Dao Alliance as weakened, near extinction, and fled. You could say they are as helpless as a stranded dog that could be hit by anybody. That would be the best."

Yao Xuanji chuckled, "Alright, I understand. I will do as you say."

Looking at Lin Chen, Yao Xuanji’s eyes softened and was filled with gratitude, "I’m glad you’re here. Otherwise, I would have continued to endure and engage in a covert battle. Upon reflection, it indeed seems like I was at a disadvantage."

Lin Chen laughed, "Don’t be afraid. You are now the master of the Immortal Domain who can be bold. You can simply fight against whoever is not convinced. If it doesn’t work out, just fight and run away. What’s there to be afraid of?"

Yao Xuanji laughed, "Alright, let’s get them!"

Lin Chen asked, "Shouldn’t the Immortal Palace have some master strategists? You could delegate this task to them. Let them devise a strategy to blow this up as much as possible, letting everyone in the Immortal Domain know and making those in the Heavenly Dao Alliance feel threatened. If those who wish to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance are deterred, we will have won half of this war."

"The rest is to gather more powerhouses and find the members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance for continual decimation. After several victories, the Heavenly Dao Alliance will vanish in a puff of smoke..."
