After Zheng Ya and Wu Wei resolved their misunderstanding, Zheng Ya immediately sent a message to Prince Ning: "Taking the blame, I don't need to teach you how to do it, do I?"
"You brat, are you serious?" Prince Ning panicked. The last time the marriage scandal ruined his reputation, his businesses on the Qian Yuan Continent were almost bankrupt. And now it's happening again? Does he want to kill him?
Zheng Ya, unaware of his difficult situation, focused on the issue, not the person: "Shouldn't you take responsibility for your mistakes?"
"You, you don't know that I had no choice but to help the aristocratic families on the Qian Yuan Continent launch a counterattack against the seven great families and reclaim the glory that belongs to us."
Of course, I also know that doing this is embarrassing for you, a newly appointed star inspector, and may implicate you and lead to punishment!
Such things are inevitable, right? Prince Ning meant that he weighed the pros and cons and chose the lesser of two evils, believing that the punishment Zheng Ya received was insignificant.
Compared to the powerful families on the Qian Yuan Continent turning the tide, this is nothing.
Unfortunately, Zheng Ya didn't think so, and wouldn't allow them to do that: "Don't try to play these tricks on me."
Don't forget that we are openly hostile to each other.
By doing this, you are openly telling the world that we have long been united in plotting against the seven great families.
"Then I don't need to teach you how to do it, right?"
"Have I been blinded by greed?" Prince Ning was having an existential crisis. His advisor, right beside him, slapped himself across the face: *smack*
Overjoyed, they only remembered to suppress the other party, thus delaying important matters.
Under Xing Guan and the others' analysis, Zheng Ya understood the predicament of Prince Ning. Under the expectant gaze of Princess Chang Le, he smiled bitterly and gave Prince Ning a suggestion: "Father-in-law, why don't you endure the humiliation and announce your abdication?"
On the surface, they are reducing their assets and sending their families here to be punished, creating the illusion that they are being punished for fabricating lies to attack the seven great families.
"We must secretly oversee all matters, big and small, here; only in this way can we minimize the losses."
“This won’t do. If my lineage falls, it will put enormous pressure on the other three families. How will they withstand the suppression from the seven great families?” Prince Ning said, expressing his disapproval.
That's true.
The current situation on the Qian Yuan Continent is unpredictable; a single misstep could lead to total defeat.
After all, the four great families have countless smaller families attached to them. If they fall, it will affect the fall of many smaller families. It can be said that moving one will affect the whole body.
Furthermore, if the lower-level powerful families can't hold their own, the middle management will cut off their logistical support, leading to a chain reaction of collapse. This will also affect the higher-ups, potentially causing them to lose the war.
Therefore, this matter, though seemingly simple, is actually quite complex.
Otherwise, Prince Ning wouldn't have been so blinded by the prospect of victory that he made a fool of the seven great families!
They also possess the advantage to bring down the other party, which is why they are in such a hurry to launch an attack.
Zheng Ya replied: "Father-in-law, have you forgotten something important? It's time to put our plan to create more high-level combat forces and help people achieve enlightenment and break through the shackles of cultivation realm on the agenda!"
"Yes, how could I have forgotten such an important thing!" Prince Ning hadn't forgotten before, but only now.
Previously, for safety reasons, preparations were being made in secret regarding Zheng Ya's assistance in helping others achieve enlightenment and break through their cultivation realms. Feedback was being relayed to the aristocratic families, but there were no results yet.
It's best to forget about such things so that no one will discover anything amiss.
So much so that Prince Ning hypnotized himself and forgot.
In any case, he has already broken through the shackles of the sixth-order peak and become a seventh-order expert. He doesn't need Zheng Ya's help to improve his cultivation level for the time being, and he won't forget it and cause trouble for himself later.
Although he could still seek Zheng Ya's guidance for enlightenment cultivation to accelerate his progress, enlightenment only affected his state of mind and understanding of laws, and had no effect on stabilizing his foundation.
One's own cultivation and foundation still need to be honed and refined through one's own efforts.
Only when one's own foundation is solid and firm can one comprehend and understand the higher levels of Tao.
After all, the human body is only so big, and the total amount of cultivation it can hold is limited. One day, one will reach perfection in cultivation, and to go further, one must sublimate the quality of the cultivation within the body.
This cultivation level is equivalent to a path of evolution, climbing higher and higher level by level.
Upon reaching the peak of each level, one needs to comprehend the quality of cultivation advancement and, in conjunction with the sublimation of one's state of mind, break through the existing shackles of cultivation.
This level depends entirely on your understanding.
A sudden enlightenment is a godsend opportunity to temporarily elevate one's personal understanding.
Therefore, spiritual practice is up to the individual, and breakthroughs depend on enlightenment.
Zheng Ya's existence is to help people temporarily enhance their understanding and sublimate their wisdom by one year, a year in a second. This is of great significance and cannot be ignored or deliberately forgotten by Prince Ning. It is essential to ensure Zheng Ya's safety.
Zheng Ya, unaware of the situation, urged, "Hurry up!"
"I'm waiting for the tenth-tier supernatural ability cultivation manual!"
"Understood, I'll get it done for you right away!" Prince Ning regained his confidence, and his advisor, envious, said, "Prince Ning, when will I...?"
"Hmph, you've caused me such a huge mess, and you still have the nerve to say that?" Prince Ning was furious. "I lost my mind because of your instigation, how despicable!"
The strategist, feeling guilty, awkwardly scratched his greasy beard and changed the subject: "I suggest that families in the Qian Yuan Continent reduce their industries."
We should take this opportunity to cower and let the seven great families become arrogant, leaving us with as much dirt on them as possible to collect, so that one day we can use it as a trump card to destroy them.
They secretly organized a collective breakthrough by top experts to accumulate combat strength.
"Well, the division of interests among aristocratic families should be assessed based on the area of the victorious territory occupied by the experts on the Demon Battlefield."
"The scions of noble families are merely the logistical support lines behind the experts." Prince Ning was relieved. As long as the demon battlefield didn't lose its benefits, the loss of some industries below was insignificant.
As a result, Prince Ning issued an edict of self-reproach to the Qian Yuan Continent, which triggered a storm of suppression from the aristocratic families.
The Ning Prince's faction fled overnight and was transferred to Zheng Ya's Starry Sky Surveillance. They became a family that redeemed themselves by paying 30% more taxes, thus exonerating the Ning Prince from his crime of spreading rumors and causing trouble.
The seven powerful families seized the opportunity to take over one-third of the Ning Prince's family's assets.
The remaining two-thirds were divided among the three major families, benefiting their own people and resolving the storm.
However, the seven great families could no longer sit idly by.
They couldn't help but suspect that Wu Weizhen dared to enslave their children and play the role of a single dominant force.
It's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't.
As a result, the seven great families dispatched a special task force, which suddenly arrived, only to be ambushed without warning, resulting in the loss of a hundred-man team, whose remains were never recovered.
The seven great families waited and waited but received no reply. They sent messages to their original disciples to inquire, and were told that no one had been seen. They realized that something had happened!
Through official channels, it was learned that the hundred-man team they dispatched did not reach Zheng Ya's starry sky surveillance area, meaning they were captured and killed en route.
The seven great families were enraged. To avoid being ambushed again, they decided to send a special force to travel through time and space to confront the perpetrators.
Upon receiving the intelligence, Wu Wei immediately contacted Zheng Ya: "A powerful enemy is attacking, requesting reinforcements?"
"Your behavior is too unseemly, I can't help you..." Zheng Ya was angry.
Wu Wei actually took over the hundred-man team of the seven great families without authorization. Why shouldn't he get any benefit from it? He's just wasting his time. Why should he?
