Wu Wei's domineering declaration captivated the skinny monk: "Whatever Your Majesty commands, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Yes, do your job well. I won't mistreat those around me." Wu Wei was very satisfied with his capable assistant, who had taken on a mess for her, freeing her up to do bigger things.
The skinny monk dared to ask, "My lord, may I inquire about your strength?"
"Peak of the sixth rank, just one more insight away from breaking through to the seventh rank," Wu Wei replied proudly, very pleased with his strength.
To achieve such strength at the age of under eighteen is a rare feat throughout history.
As for having experienced decades in each of the two worlds, that's not even considered a normal age.
That was a fortuitous encounter orchestrated by the official bigwigs of the Tower of Babel, through a time-space acceleration process.
The age of native people of Qian Yuan Continent is not affected.
This is the good news brought by the Tower of Babel mark.
The skinny monk was shocked to the core: "Ahem, congratulations on your great progress in cultivation, my lord! You've reached a new level, a truly joyous occasion!"
"Yes, we are now at the same level and urgently need the cultivation secrets of great masters, as well as a large number of points to buy Enlightenment Tea and some rare and precious materials to enhance our comprehension."
"Those are the resources that will allow us to accelerate our rise, understand?" Wu Wei started showering people with sweetness!
Upon hearing this, the skinny monk roared as if he had been injected with chicken blood: "Alright, your subordinate knows what to do."
The Scarlet Elders Council will proceed immediately!
"Hmm, I await your good news." Wu Wei lay leisurely on the rattan chair, rocking back and forth while stroking her slightly protruding belly, her smile revealing the charm of an aunt.
At this moment, the Ning Prince's faction was thrown into chaos: "What's going on?"
Why has our lineage been repeatedly plundered?
"Prince Ning, has Wu Wei made a move against us?" The strategist paced anxiously in the hall, feeling that Wu Wei, that venomous snake, was up to no good.
Prince Ning shook his head in denial: "No, Wu Wei would never cause trouble at this time."
At least until she gains control of the elders' council, she won't rashly provoke us, adding variables and affecting her crucial task of taking control of the council.
"What if we knowingly do the opposite of what is impossible?" The strategist disagreed with Prince Ning's statement, and Prince Ning became furious upon hearing this: "Are you saying that Wuwei is using us as a raft to bear the wrath of the elders of the seven great clans?"
"Using someone else to do the dirty work? Really?"
"Prince Ning, Wu Wei is a venomous snake, devoid of martial virtue!" The strategist reminded Prince Ning once again that mercy should only be shown to one's own people, while it would be suicide against the enemy.
Prince Ning jumped up in surprise and sent a message to Zheng Ya: "You brat, Wu Wei has made a move against us. Do you know what's going on?"
"Is this true? How big is the loss?" Zheng Ya was racking his brains with his wives and concubines, not knowing how to get rid of the spies planted by Wu Wei. He was stunned when he received the letter from Prince Ning. Wu Wei would never do anything to Prince Ning!
Xing Guan conveyed her thoughts: "Yes, my husband is right."
Wu Wei has already arranged for the skinny monk to take down Yin Li, which is equivalent to temporarily taking control of the elders' council. There is no need to take action against Prince Ning at this crucial juncture; it would be unreasonable.
Besides, while others may not know the inside story, we know that Wu Wei has seen through everything about us. We must not disrupt the balance, cause trouble, or sabotage our development plan.
Could it be that the elders of the seven great families are secretly stirring up trouble?
"Yes, that's highly likely." Zheng Ya also felt that the case was solved.
The elders sent by the seven great families could not allow Yin Li to make all the decisions alone; it was only human nature for them to have their own calculations behind the scenes.
Yin Li immediately subdued the skinny monk, displaying an unusual reaction that was completely different from before, which alarmed the elders. It was no surprise that someone with ulterior motives was involved.
As a result, some members of the elders started to cause trouble, trying to break the established order and find out what exactly was wrong.
That makes perfect sense!
After all, if the situation doesn't become chaotic, they won't have the opportunity to contact more people to gather information. Every move they make will be monitored. The only way to break the deadlock is through chaos.
Zheng Ya and Xing Guan both thought so, when they received a reply from Prince Ning: "Our people have suffered successive losses of cultivation resources."
The key point is that it's unreasonable that someone was ambushed but didn't die.
"Huh, this really doesn't make sense!" Zheng Ya noticed the problem.
The seven great families and the Ning Prince's lineage are sworn enemies, and they will kill each other at the first opportunity. How could they possibly leave any survivors?
Assassinating the other side's elite personnel has always been an unspoken rule between the two sides, and neither side has ever shown any mercy.
The fact that Prince Ning was repeatedly ambushed and had his cultivation resources stolen is highly unusual and suspicious.
Xing Guan suggested, "Why don't you hide in the void and take a look, my husband?"
"Hmm, it's time for me, the star inspector, to go to work for once!" Zheng Ya was a little surprised, as he hadn't officially worked a single day since becoming a star inspector.
Opening the portal was a trivial matter that was done casually and was not part of the job duties.
The duty of the Starry Sky Inspector is to maintain the safety of the starry sky, spanning millions of light-years, and to monitor any criminals, evil spirits, or heretics.
Since taking over as the Starry Sky Inspector, Zheng Ya has been busy with all sorts of things, but hasn't actually worked a single day. I wonder if he'll get his salary docked.
A junior star inspector earns 100 points per month.
It may not seem like much, but when converted into money, it makes you a multi-millionaire.
The monthly salary of a billionaire is quite substantial.
As the saying goes, a horse won't get fat without wild grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth.
The star inspectors don't earn a fixed salary; they receive far too much extra income.
Otherwise, Zheng Ya would have repeatedly cheated the Ning Prince's faction and the seven great families out of so many points, and he really doesn't remember there being such a thing as a monthly salary based on points.
Following Xing Guan's advice, Zheng Ya immediately hid in his spatial dimension and quietly went out.
It is worth mentioning that Zheng Ya's strength has reached the peak of the fourth rank.
The reason why I didn't choose to advance as quickly as Wu Wei is that the spiritual techniques and runes of the Hunyuan superpower are too difficult to condense and require more resources to accumulate. It's normal to be a step behind.
With fourth-tier strength and four types of spiritual techniques—Primordial Chaos, Time Reversal, Time Escape Technique, and Time Forbidden Array—the pursuit is all about time-space spiritual techniques.
This is because Hunyuan Wuji contains various elemental attack methods, all of which can be used at will under one's own control, and there is no shortage of attack methods.
Choosing a major and comprehending one's own path to enlightenment is essential.
Further studies are a matter for the future.
As the saying goes, if you understand one method, you understand all methods.
To avoid becoming too scattered and confused in one's cultivation methods, choosing one method that leads to enlightenment is an essential quality for every person with supernatural abilities.
At this moment, Zheng Ya activated his spacetime escape technique, traversing the nodes of spacetime, and arrived in the airspace above the fortress defended by the Ning Prince's faction in one step. After monitoring for a long time, he discovered a void shadow, occasionally reflecting a barely perceptible light. He flashed over and shouted, "Old thief, prepare to die..."
"Ah..." A scream that shocked the airspace echoed outwards.
The culprit revealed his true colors, almost making Zheng Ya's jaw drop. No way?
