At the Wendao competition venue, important figures from both the Sword Immortal Sect and the Wu Family Sword Pavilion were present.
As the head of the Wu Family Sword Pavilion, Wu Jing's seat was very close to the front.
At this moment, Wu Jing stared at Ye Qiu on the high platform, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.
Beside Wu Jing sat a young girl. After glancing at Wu Jing, she whispered, "Father, don't you think Ye Qiu is digging his own grave?"
"Do you even need to think about that?" Wu Jing sneered. "He actually wants to try to establish a new order and shake the status of the powerful families. That's nothing but wishful thinking. It will inevitably lead to his early death. Even if we don't take action, he won't live long."
"Then are we not going to carry out our plan?" the girl asked hurriedly.
"We will implement it when the opportunity arises; I don't want to wait too long."
But Ye Qiu dared to say those things in public, which clearly meant that His Majesty was backing him up.
Therefore, we should be even more cautious and try not to show it on the surface.
Wu Jing tapped the edge of the seat lightly with his fingers as he fell into thought.
The girl said, "Father, I think we should contact the Sword Immortal Sect. Perhaps they have more forces and are willing to put pressure on Ye Qiu."
Or rather, it's about putting pressure on that person, forcing Ye Qiu to withdraw from the court. Once he loses his backer, isn't he at our mercy to be killed?
"Hmm?" Wu Jing suddenly opened his eyes: "This is indeed a good idea. The influence of our Wu Family Sword Pavilion alone is not enough to change His Majesty's mind."
However, if it involves the Sword Immortal Sect and other super clans, the situation will likely change dramatically.
"Wu Yu'er, go and make contact immediately, see if you can find a few major forces to cooperate with."
"good."
The girl named Wu Yu'er immediately got up and left.
...
On stage, Ye Qiu and the three judges were working diligently together with the system to conduct the second round of rating and scoring.
This round has seen a surge of passionate individuals, and Ye Qiu has indeed discovered quite a few talented people among them.
But compared to literature, Ye Qiu would rather come into contact with powerful cultivators.
Because the future Ancestral Dragon Palace needs even more powerful cultivators to join.
As the second round came to a close, the sky gradually darkened.
At this point, the first day of the league also came to a temporary close.
After the event ended, Lin Xuanye from the martial arts competition area hurriedly left with a solemn expression.
Because he was still in the competition area, no fewer than ten people came forward to sue Ye Qiu.
"Xiao Guizi, go and invite the teacher."
Lin Xuanye's voice was slightly low.
"yes."
...
Not long after, Ye Qiu and Lin Xuanye met at the Yangshen Hall.
After bowing, Lin Xuanye said in a deep voice, "Teacher, the situation is not good."
"How so?" Ye Qiu asked.
"The Sword Immortal Sect, the current Prime Minister Qin Hui, the Wu Family Sword Pavilion, and some major forces in Dragon Capital, such as the Lu Family, the Wang Family, and even the Supreme Divine Palace, have all come to me saying that you must be eliminated, otherwise it will cause internal strife in the Great Dragon Dynasty." Lin Xuanye said solemnly.
"So, what are your plans?" Ye Qiu asked.
"I don't know." Lin Xuanye had a terrible headache. "That's why I invited the teacher here, hoping he could give me some guidance."
It would be difficult to force our way through now, as these powerful forces are deeply involved, including even my most trusted General Long, who comes from the Supreme Hall.
If chaos breaks out, whether I can defend the imperial palace is uncertain.
"I understand." Ye Qiu sighed, "It seems that we were too naive in thinking about some things."
It's also my fault; I shouldn't have revealed some things too hastily.
“Teacher, I don’t blame you.” Lin Xuanye said, “Using the Great Dragon League to initially test the minds of the people and express the desire for reform is a good thing. I was also very excited when I first heard about it.”
But after calming down, I realized that although this path was correct, it was also fraught with danger and might take an extremely long time to implement.
"To successfully implement certain things, I need absolute power to remove obstacles, and that's the biggest pain point right now."
"If I help you succeed, are you sure you'll still help me build the Ancestral Dragon Palace?" Ye Qiu stared at Lin Xuanye.
“Teacher, you have become one of the people I trust most. I will never change my promise.” Lin Xuanye’s eyes were firm.
“Alright, then I’ll help you. Let’s not sleep tonight. I’ll teach you the ‘Art of the Emperor.’ Once you master it, you’ll be able to take control of the situation step by step.” Ye Qiu said seriously.
"The Art of Emperors?" Lin Xuanye was slightly surprised: "Is this a cultivation method?"
"No," Ye Qiu said. "This is a method of cultivating the mind, which can improve one's intelligence. Its core purpose is to teach you the way of a monarch, the way of governing ministers, and the art of balance through the integration of law, technique, and power."
Lin Xuanye's eyes lit up, but at the same time, his heart pounded with fear.
He found that he was increasingly unable to understand this person who wasn't much older than him.
Ye Qiu didn't waste any time and began to formally teach and explain "The Art of Emperorship".
Lin Xuanye listened very attentively, his eyes wide open the whole time, as if Ye Qiu had opened the door to a new world for him.
The lecture didn't end until dawn.
At this moment, Lin Xuanye was undoubtedly full of energy.
Ye Qiu stood up, stretched, and laughed, "Alright, that's about it. You have a good memory and high comprehension, so you must have grasped quite a bit. You can slowly ponder the rest."
After teaching you the art of imperial strategy, there's nothing else I can teach you. You can use what I've already given you to figure out a path suitable for the Great Dragon.
"I will always remember my teacher's kindness in imparting knowledge."
