The secrets of heaven should not be revealed, but seeing how foolish Wei Qingyi was, the wandering Taoist priest had no choice but to speak plainly.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and is naturally protected by the immortals of the upper realm. Now that Your Majesty is in trouble, you should ask the immortals of the upper realm for help, and you will surely receive a response." The wandering Taoist priest lowered his voice.
Wei Qingyi went outside, looked up at the sky, and asked in confusion, "Are there really immortals living up there?"
"Your Majesty, you cannot speak such words lightly." The wandering Taoist's voice turned cold.
Wei Qingyi quickly covered her mouth.
After a short while, Wei Qingyi thought for a long time and asked, "May I ask, Daoist Master, how can we contact the immortals?"
"I can act as the middleman," the wandering Taoist priest said.
Wei Qingyi frowned slightly. Without a doubt, what the wandering Taoist priest said was a lie commonly used by swindlers.
Such lies are always very effective when dealing with ordinary people.
The wandering Taoist priest naturally knew that Wei Qingyi wouldn't believe him so easily, so he immediately said, "As everyone knows, Bian Lang killed a high immortal from the Heavenly Realm, thus offending the Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Realm is also planning to deal with Bian Lang..."
Seeing how convincingly the wandering Taoist priest spoke, Wei Qingyi's resolve began to waver.
But how did the wandering Taoist know about these things?
However, these charlatans would naturally claim that they have their own channels to glimpse the secrets of heaven.
Wei Qingyi pondered many things, then asked with a smile, "If I wish to ask an immortal for help, I'm afraid I'll need to pay a price in welcoming him, won't I?"
“A person,” the wandering Taoist priest said.
Wei Qingyi asked, puzzled, "A person?"
"It's just a matter of people; Your Majesty only needs to provide personnel," the wandering Taoist priest said with a smile.
Wei Qingyi smiled and asked, "Even if a celestial being descended to earth, he can't deal with a corpse driver? The empire may not lack manpower, but I'm afraid we can't handle Bian Lang with just manpower."
"Bian Lang can kill celestial immortals, does Your Majesty still think Bian Lang is a mortal?" The wandering Taoist found it truly laughable that Wei Qingyi, as the ruler of a country, could say such a thing.
Wei Qingyi asked in astonishment, "Could it be that Bian Lang is also an immortal?"
"Although he is not an immortal, he is certainly not an ordinary person either. As for his origins, I'm afraid no one in this world knows them." The wandering Taoist priest couldn't help but frown.
To eliminate Bian Lang, it is necessary to unite the forces of all parties.
The wandering Taoist priest then said a lot, all to make Wei Qingyi understand this point.
What Wei Qingyi did before couldn't shake Bian Lang at all; in fact, she might have been eliminated by Bian Lang.
Wei Qingyi was furious at what he was being said, but she didn't lash out.
The wandering Taoist priest's words were simply a desire to save him, and then work together to eliminate Bian Lang.
Wei Qingyi expressed his willingness to cooperate with the wandering Taoist priest, but on the condition that he know exactly when he can make a move against Bian Lang and his group.
Previously, Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu's arrival in the capital gave Wei Qingyi a very bad feeling, as she felt that the two had discovered that he was the one who was causing trouble behind the scenes.
What Bian Lang will do next is unpredictable, which has kept him from sleeping well lately.
Only when this matter is completely resolved can he probably sleep peacefully.
"Time in the celestial realm is different from that in our mortal world. What may be a mere instant for immortals can take a very, very long time for us." The wandering Taoist told Wei Qingyi to relax and get everything ready so that once the immortals descended, they could head directly to the Misty Forest and capture Bian Lang and the others in one fell swoop.
The wandering Taoist priest then left, saying only that he would return to find Wei Qingyi when the time was right.
Wei Qingyi was very flustered, so she called Shen Sanmu over to discuss countermeasures.
"Does Your Majesty truly intend to eliminate Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu?" Shen Sanmu was quite shocked after learning Wei Qingyi's true intentions.
After Bian Lang and the others left, he advised Wei Qingyi that even if she had any ideas in her mind, it was best to dismiss them directly and not do anything unnecessary.
As it turned out, Wei Qingyi was so foolish that she had already begun a plan to eliminate Justice Fortress.
The experts recruited from the martial arts world were all wiped out before they even entered the Misty Forest.
Shen Sanmu knew that even if he sent thousands of troops, he would not gain any advantage.
"Elder Shen, it's too late to say anything now. I just want to know if the immortals of the Heavenly Realm will really kill Bian Lang?" This is the only thing Wei Qingyi cares about right now.
Shen Sanmu sighed, "How can we mortals know about the affairs of Heaven?"
“But what that Taoist priest said…” Wei Qingyi said.
Shen Sanmu said, "Does Your Majesty prefer to believe a charlatan rather than your subjects?"
Wei Qingyi sighed. Now that the arrow had left the bowstring, it could not be retrieved. He could only try to prevent the arrowhead from deviating so that it could eventually pierce the throats of Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu.
Only by ensuring this outcome can everything be perfect.
"Elder Shen, prepare an army of 500,000, ready to be dispatched at any time," Wei Qingyi said, revealing the purpose of summoning Shen Sanmu.
Shen Sanmu was shocked and asked in a trembling voice, "An army of 500,000?"
"It would be even better if we could gather a million." Wei Qingyi's hands were clenched tightly together, and her body was still trembling slightly.
He seems to be terrified of Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu. If that's the case, why did he have to provoke that couple?
Shen Sanmu believed that Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu had little interest in reclaiming the throne.
Shangguan Hongyu ruled the empire for ten thousand years not out of greed for the power he held, but simply for the sake of the poor people of the world.
Shen Sanmu wanted to say something more, but when he saw Wei Qingyi wave her hand to leave, he had no choice but to go out.
If Wei Qingyi really did that, it would undoubtedly bring annihilation to the empire.
