Chu Di met with the envoy of the Mo Yin Dynasty. This time, the envoy was a true minister, not one of the Grandmaster-level experts from last time.

"The envoy from the Moyin Dynasty greets Young Master Chu."

The envoy was clearly well-informed and knew the current status of the enemy in Chu, so he quickly paid his respects.

"I wonder what brings the envoy to my Fire Maple Dynasty? Is there still a rebellion in your country?"

"No, no, no, there is no rebellion in my Moyin Dynasty now."

"Is there still someone from the demonic path causing trouble?"

“Your sect has already purged the demonic cultivators from our dynasty.”

Chu Di feigned confusion and asked, "Then what brings the envoy here?"

The envoy understood the sarcasm in the words, which meant that they had paid the money and the envoy had done the job, so they should not mention the matter again.

The envoy looked bitter, thinking to himself that this job was truly inhuman.

But remembering their emperor's instructions, he still forced himself to speak.

"Young Master Chu, His Majesty is truly in a dilemma..."

Chu Di asked, "Oh? Please tell me, Your Excellency."

The envoy steeled his resolve and said, "His Majesty wishes to exchange the land of an entire continent for those fourteen million taels of silver."

As the envoy spoke, he carefully observed the expression on the Chu enemy's face.

"Hmph, do you think the Gold and Silver Sect is easy to bully?"

A single, casual remark sent chills down the envoy's spine, leaving him trembling and speechless.

“Go back and tell your emperor that my Gold and Silver Gate and the Ji Yuan Empire have chosen to stand on one side.”

“But…but Young Master Chu, the thirteenth prince of the Ji Yuan Empire, Li Qianyuan, has come in person. His Majesty cannot handle this.”

"Li Qianyuan? Even if the Emperor of the Ji Yuan Empire comes in person, those who offend my Gold and Silver Sect will not be able to leave!"

Chu Di's words were quite arrogant in front of the envoy, and in his eyes, they were overestimating themselves. The empire's strength was far beyond what their small dynasty could imagine!

"Forget it, this is the tragedy of being a nobody! You wait here for two days, and I'll go with you to the Moyin Dynasty to meet that so-called thirteenth prince!"

The envoy was surprised that the Chu enemy was really going to fight the Ji Yuan Empire head-on, especially for the sake of his Mo Yin Dynasty, and was immediately excited.

"Thank you, Young Master Chu. However, Li Qianyuan has given us two months to retrieve that silver. If your sect does not wish to become his enemy, my emperor has said that we can exchange it for two prefectures. In addition, after my dynasty has recovered, we will offer another ten million taels of silver in exchange for peace."

"Land is useless to my Gold and Silver Sect. Besides, why doesn't your dynasty mortgage land to Hengtong Money Shop in exchange for money?"

"Then...then Li Qianyuan said...said..."

The envoy stammered.

"Heh, is it that Li Qianyuan is going to use my Gold and Silver Sect as a scapegoat to establish his authority?"

The envoy nodded and said, "As Young Master Chu knows, every few years the Empire seeks an opportunity to establish its authority and increase its influence over us border dynasties. Originally, they intended to target the demonic path, but your sect preemptively destroyed them, so they turned their attention to your sect..."

Chu Di scoffed, "Hmph, wait for them to come and destroy the demonic path? They don't care about the life or death of our dynasties. Even if the dynasties are gone, they won't care. To them, these dynasties are dispensable. At worst, they can just support a few more!"

The envoy smiled wryly, "Young Master Chu is insightful. Now that he has joined the Gold and Silver Sect, he has the right to challenge the Empire, while we..."

Seeing that the topic had been steered in this direction, Chu Di followed up by saying, "My Gold and Silver Sect is absolutely capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Empire. My sect's Holy Son has said that if a dynasty that submits to my Gold and Silver Sect reduces its tribute by half, the sect will never interfere in the dynasty's internal affairs and will bear the pressure from the Empire. What do you think, envoy?"

The envoy's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He knew that in addition to the tribute paid by the dynasty each year, the empire would also interfere in the internal affairs of the dynasty from time to time. This was not so bad for the remote dynasties, but for the dynasties in the heartland, some emperors were more like stewards than emperors, which made many dynasties suffer.

“Young Master Chu, if your sect demonstrates absolute martial prowess, I think His Majesty will be very interested.”

"Looks like it's time for the Gold and Silver Gate to flex its muscles..."

A few days later, Chu Di and his party of seven arrived in the capital of the Mo Yin Dynasty.

The seven are Dugu Qiubai, Zhang Sanfeng, Baiyun Zen Master, Yan Chixia, Baiyue Cult Leader, Dugu Sword Saint, and Chu Di.

His master was by Meng Fan's side, preparing to deal with that evil demon, and did not come.

When he arrived, the sweeping monk told him that the weakest of these six people was at the Void Transformation Realm, and that some of them had bad tempers, so he should be careful.

Chu Di was already used to the Gold and Silver Sect elders appearing from time to time, and of course, he had long been familiar with their eccentric temperaments!

At this time, Li Qianyuan was still living a carefree life in the palace, sleeping on the dragon bed at night, waiting for that large sum of silver to be in his hands, and then destroying the Gold and Silver Gate before going to another dynasty to continue his happy life!

As the thirteenth prince, he was utterly incompetent in both civil and military affairs, spending his days indulging in pleasure. Consequently, he was disliked throughout the empire. On one occasion, he discovered that when he went to those dynasties to handle official business, the emperors fawned over him as if he were the emperor emeritus, which greatly satisfied his perverse desires.

From then on, he enjoyed it immensely and increasingly disregarded the people of the dynasty, seizing any opportunity to go out.

This time was no different. He heard that demonic forces were causing trouble in several dynasties on the border, so he immediately led the imperial experts to come. However, the journey was long and they were bullying and oppressing people along the way. The palace maids and concubines suffered terribly because of them. It was half a year later when they arrived here.

He was accompanied by ten imperial retainers, one of whom was at the Unity Realm. Forget about suppressing a rebellion, he didn't even need to bring any soldiers to suppress it. Killing people was easy for him!

Emperor Mo Zhong of the Mo Yin Dynasty now looked constipated, his face dark and radiant!

This morning he heard that Li Qianyuan had taken advantage of his favorite concubine; he was utterly inhuman!

In the midst of his fury, upon hearing that the envoy had returned, he quickly suppressed his anger and summoned the envoy in.

The envoy explained everything the enemy of Chu had said, and Mo Zhong was at a loss for what to do. For now, he could only take it one step at a time and hope that the Golden and Silver Gate could suppress the empire's counterattack!

"Li Qianyuan!"

Chu Di roared, unleashing a torrent of true energy that locked onto Li Qianyuan.

"puff!"

Li Qianyuan's cultivation level hadn't even reached the Innate Realm, so he couldn't withstand the impact of Chu Di's true energy!

"How dare you! You dare harm a prince of my Ji Yuan Empire! You'd better give me your life!"

"You mere cultivator at the First Realm dares to be so insolent before my Gold and Silver Sect!"

The leader of the Moon Worship Cult stepped forward, gently clenched his fist, and the body of the old man who had just rushed out of the Unity Realm turned into blood and water, and he died just like that!

An eerie silence fell over the scene; you could hear a pin drop…

Ignoring his internal injuries, Li Qianyuan looked up at the retainers behind him and shouted sternly, "What are you all doing? Didn't you see he injured this prince? Seize him now! I'm going to skin him alive!"
