"Ah, is it not so urgent now?"
Li Haishan exclaimed in astonishment.
"There's no rush at all. This Spirit Emperor's cultivation level isn't particularly high, but he's extremely skilled in political maneuvering."
"Back then, the Spirit Emperor led so many people that he was able to conquer such a vast territory in the Central Region. It would have been difficult for anyone else to do that."
Han Feng didn't know much about the Central Region before and thought that the Spirit Emperor wasn't that powerful.
After learning about the Spirit Emperor through a life simulation, he realized just how extraordinary the Spirit Emperor was.
You are the strongest in other domains, and it is easy for you to control any force.
But that won't work in the Central Region; you need to control a sufficient army to destroy this dynasty.
Otherwise, if you control the Divine Dynasty with your powerful forces, the first to express dissatisfaction will be the Defender of the Dao Sect.
In the Central Region, the Defender Sect was a behemoth that no force could withstand.
This method won't work, and in the end, they will only be hunted down by the Defender Sect.
Unless you have the cultivation level of the Heavenly Realm, you will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Defender Sect.
If he had the cultivation level of the Heavenly Realm, he wouldn't have to work so hard.
Han Feng suspected that this person played too many games like the Central Region Emperor game and liked this kind of game about dynastic conquest.
It's quite remarkable that the Spirit Emperor, as an outsider, was able to occupy a powerful dynasty.
In the life simulation game, the Spirit Emperor is also quite abnormal when it comes to political intrigue.
The Spirit Emperor was practically born for these rules, destined to thrive in the Central Region.
Li Haishan thought for a moment and agreed with Han Feng's plan: "The Spirit Envoy is indeed very thoughtful. The Spirit Emperor is average in other aspects, but few can rival him in political intrigue. We currently have an absolute advantage, but we are not guaranteed to win."
"It would be best if you agreed. Let's act quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications."
In the vast darkness of the night, Han Feng unleashed his true strength.
In the life simulation, Han Feng was limited by his identity and never used his full strength.
After all, Li Zhencai was only at the mid-stage of the Dao Heaven Realm, so it was understandable that he could withstand the sneak attack from the Spirit Emperor.
The Spirit Clan is a large tribe in the Northern Region, so it's quite normal for them to have some life-saving methods passed down to their juniors.
If Han Feng, at the mid-stage of the Dao Heaven Realm, were to defeat a Spirit Emperor at the mid-stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, Li Haishan would surely be suspicious, and the Defenders Sect would be the first to investigate.
Once the Defender Sect begins a thorough investigation, Han Feng's actions will be restricted.
Moreover, this inspection is continuous; it's not something that will be avoided once and then simply not investigated again.
The inspection by the Defender of the Way Sect is very rigorous, involving more than a dozen complex procedures.
In any case, Han Feng was not confident that he could 100% evade the inspection by the Defender Sect.
He could only act ahead of time to ensure that the Spirit Emperor ascended to paradise sooner.
Han Feng is not as good at political maneuvering as the Spirit Emperor. If he were to fight in someone else's area of expertise, he would be courting death.
No matter how skilled Emperor Ling was in political maneuvering, his personal strength was still lacking.
With Han Feng's cultivation at the late stage of the Yellow Heaven Realm, killing the Spirit Emperor would be easy for him.
He planned to take advantage of the internal strife in Daling Capital to kill the Ling Emperor.
...
Dadu.
Golden Wing Palace.
"Your Majesty, our men have lost contact and are likely to have met with misfortune."
An old eunuch rushed to the Emperor's side and told him what might have happened.
"Li Zhen and Li Haishan are too cunning. They just received intelligence that Li Zhen was not in his room, and then the two of them disappeared."
The old eunuch looked flustered: "Your Majesty, what should we do next? Li Haishan controls 70% of the army and has the cultivation of the early stage of the Profound Heaven Realm. It won't be easy for us to kill him."
The Spirit Emperor calmly said, "What's there to panic about? I've overcome all the difficulties back then. When we first came to the Central Region, this divine dynasty was called the Eastern Fire Divine Dynasty, and it was a brother dynasty to the Eastern Li Divine Dynasty."
"When these two dynasties were powerful, they were combined and called the Dongsheng Divine Dynasty. Later, the first emperor of the Eastern Dynasty went away and never returned. The crown prince competed with the most powerful prince, and in the end, the Dongsheng Divine Dynasty split into two dynasties."
"Even after tens of thousands of years, these two dynasties are still powerful. I took over the entire Eastern Fire Dynasty with just the military strength of one city."
"If it weren't for Li Haishan's influence, I would have already taken over the Dongli Divine Dynasty and built a powerful Dongsheng Divine Dynasty. It's such a pity."
The old eunuch said angrily, "These direct descendants of the Spirit Clan are really unreasonable. In the first place, they sent us to the Central Region just to die and explore the way. Now that they see that we have taken over a divine dynasty in one fell swoop, they have started to be jealous and hateful."
The Spirit Emperor sighed, "The Spirit Clan is too complex, especially Li Zhen's father, Li Long. The Spirit Clan has produced many powerful clan leaders, but he has been in power the longest. It's impossible for him to see me grow stronger and then take his position away."
"Yes, what should we do next?"
The old eunuch hinted indirectly.
Let's hold back for now.
The Spirit Emperor said helplessly.
"Alright then, if there's nothing else, this old servant will..."
The old eunuch, his face contorted with murderous intent, charged toward the Emperor.
His cultivation level was at the late stage of the Yellow Heaven Realm, and his strength was fully unleashed, equivalent to a full-force attack from the early stage of the Profound Heaven Realm.
Emperor Ling seemed to have anticipated this, easily dodging the old eunuch's sneak attack.
Then, the Emperor casually struck out with his palm, sending the old eunuch flying backward.
The old eunuch's chest was severely sunken, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"We were talking normally, why did you suddenly attack me?"
The Spirit Emperor's eyes were cold, but a slight smile played on his lips.
"You were wary of me back then."
The old eunuch asked in confusion.
"That was a long time ago. We grew up together, and it's been so long that I can't remember anymore."
The Spirit Emperor spoke calmly.
"It seems I underestimated you. You weren't injured at all. The sneak attack earlier wasn't something you staged yourself."
The old eunuch asked doubtfully.
"Since you're about to die anyway, I'll tell you for the sake of our years of friendship: I wasn't injured at all. It was all staged. I wanted to see how much tolerance Li Long had for me."
Emperor Ling sighed, "Li Long is more cautious than I imagined. As soon as Li Haishan sent this news back, he sent Li Zhen."
The old eunuch pointed at Emperor Ling and cursed, "You call the clan leader by his name like that; it seems you've been planning a rebellion for a long time."
The Spirit Emperor scoffed, "Li Long was originally from a collateral branch, and he only rose to the direct line through his own efforts. I, Li Lingqi, also want to replicate that. What's wrong with that?"
"Traitor, once the clan leader breaks through to the Earth Heaven Realm, you're doomed."
The old eunuch cursed loudly.
"You don't need to worry about that. I've already figured out all the rules of the Central Region. As long as I get rid of Li Haishan, this divine dynasty will be mine alone."
The coldness on the Emperor's face deepened: "I am no match for Li Long now, but after my descendants have ruled the two divine dynasties for thousands of years, they will eventually be able to take their place."
