Chapter 494 - 219: Slaughtering Sheep and Tiger Stabbing, Striking Straight at Huanglong (Part 2)
At this point, Fang Qingzhu noticed that Ji Mingyue and Han Xiaoru were all looking at her in surprise, leaving her a bit dumbfounded. She touched her cheek, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you spoke very well," Chen Ping smiled and said.
He understood why Hua Lian’er and Han Daniu looked at Fang Qingzhu so oddly.
In essence, it was because Fang Qingzhu used to appear like a simple-minded foodie, though she was as beautiful as a fairy. If you really regarded her as a fairy, you would be mistaken.
She didn’t use her brain.
Only knew how to eat.
After passing through the Celestial Star Ruins once, one day was like a year, and she endured three years like this. This girl surprisingly learned to use her brain, isn’t that strange?
"Hehe, that’s good then."
Hearing this, Fang Qingzhu smiled, her fairy-like demeanor immediately shattered, and a naive air emerged from her left cheek dimple, resembling Xiaoyu’s smile to some extent.
You better not smile anymore.
Chen Ping was a bit speechless.
"Fairy Fang made a good point. The Vice Capital Youjing is originally as solid as a rock, with no real crisis. Logically speaking, with True Martial King’s cautious nature, it’s unnecessary for him to personally lead an army to attack Xingqing Prefecture, and furthermore, to set a series of schemes and intrigues, trying to attack us directly from the angle of Fairy Fang, plunging us into an inextricable situation."
A gleam flashed in Chen Ping’s eyes as he continued, "The only explanation is that he saw danger, and he also saw opportunity."
"How so?"
Ji Mingyue faintly understood but was not entirely sure.
"It’s about the Noble Families and the Sect.
In short, the reason True Martial King acted urgently is that he saw the determination of the Noble Families and Sect.
Since the [Jun Tian] children’s rhyme spread widely, it can be said that we have unknowingly stood on the opposite side of all the forces in the world. Clear-sighted people can see that allowing our power in Xingqing Prefecture to continue growing will leave no place for the Noble Families."
Therefore, the True Martial King expressed his stance, using this opportunity to suddenly strike, aiming to pull all the Noble Families and Sect into his camp."
"So, they weren’t originally of one mind, before the rise of Xingqing Prefecture, the Noble Families and Sect were actually making multiple bets, and True Martial King Ji Changfeng was just one of them?"
Even Han Xiaoru understood this time.
The so-called "Demon-Tainted Spring" crucial point is that True Martial King is actually the link between everyone, it is himself.
"That’s right, in such a rush, the high-level combat power of those Noble Families or Sects could not react so quickly to gather around True Martial King Ji Changfeng. Even if they have great determination, it takes time to hold a meeting."
Chen Ping stated firmly.
"If you give the True Martial King another ten days or half a month, it might become an unbeatable celestial group on the opposite side."
Hearing this, Ji Mingyue and Han Xiaoru, their eyes were suddenly enlightened, they could see through the present situation clearly.
Although they hadn’t heard of what a celestial group exactly was, it did not hinder their understanding of the context.
The so-called "to capture the thief, first capture the king" is not because the opponent is weak, but because the opponent is strong.
Just like what Ji Mingyue said, the harder True Martial King Ji Changfeng is to deal with, the more urgent it is to tackle him quickly.
Otherwise, delaying matters.
The consequences are unimaginable.
Furthermore, Chen Ping has another concern.
What if, during this game, True Martial King takes advantage directly, gaining the support of all the Sects and Noble Families, it really is possible to create a great force of Heaven and Earth.
Even turning former enemies into friends, and attracting those forces that are still observing, who won’t fully commit themselves.
For example, the vanguard sent by the Court to handle affairs in Jiangnan, Grand Governor Yan Beifei... and, each force’s deeply concealed hidden cards.
Maybe, even the Divine Martial Realm will come out to get involved.
An action that adds icing on the cake, beneficial and without the risk of sending help where it’s most needed.
By then, whatever kind of enemies emerge, Chen Ping is entirely uncertain.
The best solution is to nip the danger in the bud.
Since the True Martial King is the link connecting all sides and a key point for their bets in the Southern Region.
Then, by eliminating this key point, or rather the leader...
All the Sects and Noble Families will immediately turn into scattered sand.
They will never unite again.
Without the True Martial King as the leader, even the prestige of the Heir of True Martial is not enough to convince all the Sects and Noble Families.
In this way, the crisis of Xingqing Prefecture will be resolved easily.
Further marching into the enemy capital, subjugating the Vice Capital, unifying the Southern Region.
At this moment, it won’t be a situation where all major Noble Families and Sects come to besiege...
Most likely, it will become these guys scrambling to lay their bets, and come to curry favor.
In such a scenario, whether to suppress or appease is in the holder’s masterful grasp, acting at one’s discretion.
"This battle will be called the [Sheep-Slaying Battle]."
Chen Ping quietly observed his Attribute Column, his heart calm and tranquil.
Needing to accumulate a huge amount of Tribulation Points to break through to the Divine Martial Realm.
Of course, with an expanded territory, the daily increase of Fortune will also accelerate.
With 15 points in Innate Talent and Enlightenment, it’s estimated to take not too long to catch up the Realm of Qi Refining and Soul Refining to Body Refining.
By then, when the Tribulation Points reach the requirement, there’s no need to seek a Secret Technique to break through to Divine Martial.
Just directly break the Realm.
Anyway, as Fang Qingzhu said, after reaching the Divine Martial Realm, everyone is feeling their way across the river, progress becomes extremely slow. Those so-called Cultivation Techniques are either flawed or difficult to pass on.
