Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong’s fate
Chapter 1001 - 688: They will inevitably test us, and tomorrow is the best opportunity.
CHAPTER 1001: CHAPTER 688: THEY WILL INEVITABLY TEST US, AND TOMORROW IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY.
The chief steward was indeed a person of great insight, yet even so, he still couldn’t see through what kind of organization the Free Heaven Country really was.
But to the chief steward, these matters were not important. Currently, the Free Heaven Country was collaborating with their Bei Family.
This collaboration brought considerable benefits to the Bei Family, and that was enough.
On the other side, Xiu Huang felt comfortable looking at these two boxes of goods, unexpectedly earning some extra money.
Just as he was delighted, a figure suddenly approached from a distance; it was none other than Wang Yang.
Wang Yang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Xiu Huang, did you accept their benefits?"
Xiu Huang immediately broke into a cold sweat, kneeling on the ground, "Your Majesty, it was the chief steward of the Bei Family who insisted on giving these to me, and I had no choice but to accept them."
Wang Yang laughed, "Rise, I’m not blaming you, there’s no need to be overly anxious, but you should know that our ambitions are not limited to just this."
Only then did Xiu Huang breathe a sigh of relief and stand up, "What does Your Majesty mean by those words just now? I don’t understand."
"Do you know that there are the Three Sects and Two Clans in Tianfeng City?"
This confused Xiu Huang even more, "Of course I know, didn’t we investigate clearly before coming here?"
Wang Yang said slowly, "Since there are Three Sects and Two Clans, why should we focus our attention only on the Bei Family? It’s known that when one family dominates, it is not a good thing; once they are satisfied, it might pose a threat to us."
Xiu Huang indeed almost forgot that there were other powers within Tianfeng City.
In such a situation, multiple collaborations could be established, as they do not conflict.
Xiu Huang asked, "Then according to Your Majesty’s meaning, should we also win over other sects and families for collaboration?"
Ping Xiao unexpectedly walked over slowly from afar, "Your Majesty indeed means this, but we must show others that the Bei Family has reaped benefits; otherwise, they would not easily cooperate, wasting a lot of time in negotiations, which is not what Your Majesty wishes to see."
Wang Yang said calmly, "What Ping Xiao says is exactly what I’m thinking. From today onwards, Ping Xiao, you will enter Tianfeng City and it is essential to contact people from other powers. Once the opportunity arises, you can start negotiations."
"Understood. I will prepare to depart immediately."
Ping Xiao bowed to Wang Yang and then withdrew.
The reason for not contacting these families and sects immediately was because they had just begun collaborating with the Bei Family, requiring some time for stabilization.
Conveniently, during this time, Ping Xiao could familiarize himself with the situation within Tianfeng City, establishing a foundation for them as well.
Xiu Huang expressed some concern, "But Your Majesty, if we do this, won’t it cause displeasure to the Bei Family?"
Xiu Huang’s concern was primarily about Wang Yang collaborating with multiple parties. Although it was not explicitly stated, doing so would undoubtedly arouse the vigilance of the Bei Family.
"So what?"
Wang Yang raised an eyebrow, "It’s not like we are collaborating with just the Bei Family alone. I made it very clear from the start; they were only the first to cooperate, so they get more benefits."
Xiu Huang suddenly understood, "If they are unwilling, Your Majesty can completely exclude them."
"But we must not overdo it, or else we might push them towards the Lord of Tianfeng City, which would significantly hinder us."
Whether explicit or implicit, Wang Yang had thought it through thoroughly.
In comparison to Wang Yang’s side, over at Tenglong Mountain, things had already exploded.
The Third Master of Tenglong Mountain returned to Tenglong Mountain and immediately reported this news to the Family Head.
The Family Head was furiously angry upon hearing this news.
"Outrageous! How dare someone rob us of Tenglong Mountain’s goods! What audacity!"
The Third Master quickly said, "Elder Brother, you might not be aware, but this person’s Cultivation Level is extremely high, even surpassing mine, probably a top-notch fighter within the Half-Step Celestial Demon Boundary."
The Family Head sat down upon hearing this, falling into contemplation.
"There’s something strange about this. Since they are aware of our Tenglong Mountain and still dare to rob us, it’s obvious they came prepared. Could there be someone behind the scenes instructing them?"
The Family Head voiced his suspicions, with a pale-faced member of the Demon Clan beside him.
Their face devoid of color, extremely pale.
This Demon Clan member’s bloodline wasn’t high, only considered slightly above average, of the Cang Fire category.
Although this person’s Cultivation Level wasn’t high, and their Blood Swim wasn’t high, they possessed significant intelligence.
Tenglong Mountain’s achievement was greatly attributed to this individual.
He held a fan in his hand, always looking like a guru.
"Family Head, from my perspective, these people definitely came prepared."
The Family Head looked towards this person, "Oh? How can you be certain?"
"Firstly, since they know of Tenglong Mountain yet dare to act, they must be targeting us."
The Family Head nodded, "Continue."
"Secondly, these people’s Cultivation Level is not weak. I suspect they are not from Tianfeng City, but rather from outside."
"Since they already understand the layout of the forces here, they must want to compete with us for superiority. Their actions this time are clearly a probe or provocation against us."
Having said this much, the Family Head of Tenglong Mountain naturally no longer held solitary suspicions.
The Family Head took a deep breath, "It seems their strength is not weak either, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so arrogant as to dare act against us."
