Chapter 2401 - 2091: Tianxuan Palace’s Dormancy
Chen Min has not shown up for several months. Now that she suddenly appears, it proves she has already figured out the strength of Tianxuan Palace and is ready to execute the next plan.
As Pei Shuhua finished speaking, Chen Min said, "Tianxuan Palace has a total of seven Earth Realm individuals. Among them, the Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace is at the late-stage Earth Realm, having just broken through recently."
"They possess a Heavenly Rank Treasure named Shadow Tracing Mirror. This treasure has no offensive power and is merely an auxiliary type of treasure. Besides this, Tianxuan Palace has no other Heavenly Rank Treasure."
Upon hearing Chen Min’s words, Pei Shuhua thought for a moment, then said, "If there are only seven Earth Realm individuals, we can carry out the next plan."
Chen Min continued saying, "Additionally, I’ve heard some news that the Palace Master seems to plan to go to Guangling City. We can intercept and assassinate her midway, handle the Palace Master first, and then annihilate Tianxuan Palace."
Although seven Earth Realm Strong Persons are not considered many for the Great Zhou Dynasty, if they unite, they might be somewhat troublesome to deal with.
But if the Palace Master is dealt with first, the remaining Earth Realm strong persons will not be a concern.
By that time, someone might even be willing to pledge allegiance to the Great Zhou Dynasty, becoming the lackeys of Qionghua Holy Land.
Among those Earth Realm Strong Persons, some are already part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Pei Shuhua immediately asked, "When do we act?"
Chen Min thought for a moment and replied, "The sooner the better. It has to be this month; she might be heading to Guangling City next month."
Pei Shuhua said, "Alright, I understand."
Immediately, Pei Shuhua gathered the Royal Family’s tributors overnight.
Soon after, she had the Pei Family’s Earth Realm strong persons come to the Imperial City. This move perplexed the Pei Family, as they didn’t understand what she was up to.
Nevertheless, since Pei Shuhua was the spokesperson for the Pei Family, they didn’t doubt much.
Very soon, Pei Shuhua had gathered a total of fourteen Earth Realm Spirit Martial Artists.
At this moment.
In Tianxuan Palace, Palace Master Hall.
Chu Qingli was discussing with the elders about dissolving Tianxuan Palace and hiding them.
Despite Qionghua Holy Land’s cautious actions, Tianxuan Palace has the Shadow Tracing Mirror, and Chu Qingli had already discovered some of Qionghua Holy Land’s minor moves through the Shadow Tracing Mirror, such as secretly bribing the disciples of Tianxuan Palace.
She already realized that the Great Zhou Dynasty had teamed up with Qionghua Holy Land, preparing to attack Tianxuan Palace.
After all, Tianxuan Palace is her creation, and she does not want to see it destroyed just like that.
Tianxuan Palace is not much as a location; if it’s destroyed, so be it. As long as the people survive, that’s all that matters.
As long as the elders and disciples of Tianxuan Palace remain, it won’t affect their future plans.
When the Ancient Ruins emerge, they will reconvene.
However, as soon as Chu Qingli proposed this idea, the elders of Tianxuan Palace immediately opposed.
After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable. If they really dissolve, some might never wish to return.
Just as the elders were in a heated discussion, Chu Qingli, sitting in the main seat, spoke, "I know what you’re worried about, but compared to the safety of Tianxuan Palace, this risk is worth taking."
From Chu Qingli’s viewpoint, those who joined Tianxuan Palace did so for its resources.
As long as Tianxuan Palace’s resources remain under her control, they won’t easily leave.
Even if dispersed, they have to obtain training resources from her.
At this moment, Tianxuan Palace’s elder Li Xun stood up and said, "I support the Palace Master’s decision. Despite Great Zhou Dynasty being merely a fringe dynasty, if they unite with Central State Power, their strength is far superior to Tianxuan Palace."
However, just as Li Xun finished speaking, Feng Lin immediately said, "Palace Master, if we dissolve and scatter everywhere, wouldn’t our actions be discovered by other powers and get dismantled one by one?"
From Feng Lin’s perspective, Tianxuan Palace has seven Earth Realm individuals. With these seven sitting guard, Tianxuan Palace still has some self-preservation power. If they really dissolve and fight separately, it would be difficult not only to resist the Great Zhou Dynasty but even local forces in the Border Wilderness.
No sooner Feng Lin finished speaking, Li Xun quickly replied, "Elder Feng, your thinking is too narrow."
"Currently, Outer Domain powers are emerging. Once the Great Zhou Dynasty attacks Tianxuan Palace, those Outer Domain powers will certainly be involved. By then, this handful of people might not be able to defend Tianxuan Palace."
"If we disperse, even if some elders and disciples are discovered by other forces, we still preserve some individuals."
"As long as we endure until the Ancient Ruins emerge, the remaining can regroup as a force. We can’t solely rely on Zhen Nan Prince Manor, can we? Zhen Nan Prince Manor might not stand with Tianxuan Palace."
Seeing Feng Lin still wanting to speak, Master Chu directly said, "It’s decided. I am not muddle-headed; I foresee this as Tianxuan Palace’s calamity. If Tianxuan Palace doesn’t dissolve, it might face annihilation."
Whether it’s Chu Qingli or other Ancestors of the Strange, they possess foresight of danger.
Lately, Chu Qingli found herself unable to calm down, as if impending doom was approaching.
This is also the reason she plans to go to Guangling City, as she believes the Great Zhou Dynasty and Qionghua Holy Land might make serious moves.
The crisis might not be avoidable just by their strength. Given that Zhen Nan Prince Manor has Heavenly Realm individuals, why not let Zhen Nan Prince Manor protect them?
Nowadays, many powers believe Tianxuan Palace has formed an alliance with Zhen Nan Prince Manor. Plus, Tianxuan Palace’s influence is within Zhen Nan Prince Manor’s domain. By then, she doesn’t need Zhen Nan Prince Manor to say anything; just staying in Guangling City ensures other forces don’t dare take actions against them in the face of Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
Actually, Chu Qingli had another plan which was relocating Tianxuan Palace to Guangling City.
However, Tianxuan Palace isn’t small. Moving the entire Tianxuan Palace to Guangling City isn’t practical.
Moreover, Zhen Nan Prince Manor might not consent.
Of course, during her trip to Guangling City, she intends to explore if the surroundings of Guangling City have suitable territory for Tianxuan Palace.
Though not staying in Guangling City, staying in Guangling County should be fine.
Seeing Chu Qingli’s firmness, the elders in the hall did not say more.
Now, Chu Qingli continued saying, "From this day forth, Tianxuan Palace divides into four forces, each descending the mountain, concealing within the Great Zhou Dynasty, and awaiting my summons."
An elder asked, "Palace Master, if we leave, what happens to the sect’s treasure vault?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingli said calmly, "You don’t need to worry. I possess a space ring and will carry all resources away, leaving nothing for the Great Zhou Dynasty."
This...
The Earth Realm individuals from the Border Wilderness have never seen a space ring, let alone a treasure possessing space attributes, so they naturally don’t know how much a space ring can store.
Chu Qingli didn’t explain much; as long as they know that even if Tianxuan Palace dissolves, all its resources remain under her control.
