Chapter 53 Plotting in the Myriad Realms Mirror Palace
If the temple is not closed, the difficulty will increase significantly.
If the palace cannot be closed, then only an open strategy can be employed, but this plan might be overheard by people from other continents.
If they overhear this, wouldn't we have a way to deal with it?
However, some other elders understood the key point. Leaving the temple open also suited the current situation in the Southern Continent.
With the influence of the Southern Continent and the Central Continent now infiltrating, especially the Second Division, how can they implement policies without informing the elders of the various ministers? Therefore, the decision not to close the palace was a predictable outcome.
Elder: "Minister Liu, please."
Liu Wuxing's face was somewhat unpleasant, but he was in a difficult position and coughed, saying:
“Now, Central Continent is not a monolithic entity. Southern Continent should contact the various families in Central Continent that are at odds with the Zou family, offer them substantial benefits to sow discord, such as 30% of the future profits from the spiritual veins, and then... ask them to intervene and make Central Continent put itself in a difficult position.”
"As for internal strife, within Yun Ning, we must purge the source of the problem and thoroughly cleanse those who 'betray their masters for personal gain.' As long as their deeds are reported, they will receive layers of military merit. At that time, everyone's hearts will be united."
Liu Wuxing added some more detailed measures, though they weren't very clear.
But in reality, everyone can understand what he's saying.
His intention was precisely to target the second part.
When the second tribe, which worships its ancestors for glory, is divided up, the other three tribes, united against a common enemy, will surely unite.
However, after his plan was revealed, a moment of silence fell, but then a sudden murmur of discussion arose.
Xu Qingning remained silent for a long while before shaking his head.
"..." Elder Yun Ning and the others were also discussing among themselves, all of them showing distressed expressions.
Ning Chenghan glared at his ally, who was only good at martial arts, and roared, "What is he doing? Is he making a fool of himself in front of Yun San?!"
They wished they could drag Liu Wuxing down with them.
He then asked, "Didn't Shu Minglian interfere with the strategy?"
The elders around him shook their heads.
A hint of annoyance flashed in Ning Chenghan's eyes.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Liu Wuxing's plan is absolutely unworkable.
Her gaze toward Shu Minglian turned colder. After thinking for a moment, she whispered a few instructions to Yu Shi.
The followers of the second division glared angrily, all knowing that Liu Wuxing was pointing his sword at them.
"Hey Liu Wuxing, are you guys from Yun San trying to turn the whole of Yun Ning into a mess like in Part 3?"
"Liu Wuxing, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
The fourth group looked at each other in bewilderment. Although their political acumen was mediocre, they also felt that Liu Wuxing's method was not quite right, and many of them scratched their heads in frustration.
Within Yun Ning, many could only shake their heads in secret out of respect for Liu Wuxing.
Liu Wuxing, who had been feeling quite good about himself, now sensed something was amiss and his arrogance subsided somewhat.
He gritted his teeth secretly, gazing expectantly at the Myriad Phenomena Mirror Palace, thinking to himself, "These people don't understand the ingenuity of my grand plan. I only hope that this 'Myriad Phenomena Mirror Palace' can allow the third part of the strategy to turn the tide."
As the Myriad Manifestations Palace turned upside down, everyone couldn't help but look up.
Xu Qingning also looked up and stared.
This was also the first time he had ever seen the Myriad Mirror Palace.
The prism conjured an illusion, with wisps of spiritual energy drifting about, as if time itself was being twisted.
The light and mist coalesced into an illusion, which was the scene of Yunning.
The "Mirror Palace" simulates the scenario where Liu Wuxing's schemes are implemented in Nanzhou.
As everyone eagerly awaited, they saw...
Initially, Liu Wuxing led his men in a frantic attempt to bribe the Zhongzhou family.
Unexpectedly, Zhongzhou was already prepared due to the news of the Yun Ning Grand Competition. Zou Lanci carried out a major purge and took strict precautions.
Nanzhou got a cold shoulder.
They finally found a family willing to pay money and bribed them with huge sums of money.
Upon seeing this, Liu Wuxing sighed inwardly.
"Look, we've found it! There's hope! There's hope!"
In the illusion, the Na family also played a crucial role, successfully instigating internal strife in the Central Continent. The Zou family's actions were temporarily halted, giving Yun Ning a chance to catch her breath.
Ning Chenghan's expression softened slightly in the first part.
Liu Wuxing's face lit up with even more joy. But after only a few moments, he stood up: "How is that possible!"
Five years later, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
This family's appetite grew ever larger, and they took over, demanding a lot of money, leaving Yun Ning breathless.
After that, this family suddenly turned against them and colluded with the Zou family to lure the main force of Yunning to the border to be wiped out by using false information!
By the time the various departments learned of this, it was too late to resist.
Meanwhile, Yun Ning was embroiled in a fierce civil war early on due to the "encirclement and suppression of Yun Er," leaving all four divisions exhausted and their combat strength greatly weakened.
Beset by internal and external troubles, the main force was almost completely wiped out, leaving them with no choice but to surrender to Zhongzhou.
The various factions of Middle Continent divided up Southern Continent and purged those loyal to it.
Yun Ning was plunged into the dark colonial era of Central Continent.
The illusion has ended.
All around was silent.
Liu Wuxing stood there, speechless.
His face looked like it had been slapped, a mixture of blue and red.
Ning Chenghan originally wanted to smooth things over, but as a native of Yunning, seeing the final outcome left her with a heavy heart.
How do we fight?!
Finally, he only said coldly, "Minister Liu, come down!"
An elder also whispered, "Minister Liu, it's alright. You've made contributions in the naval battle. In the future, when it comes to strategy, don't take on tasks you're not qualified for. Just listen to the first secretary more."
Liu Wuxing has completely lost face.
Now that I've heard this, what else can I do but go along with it?
He was also sweating profusely. The five minor military commands already had a grudge against him. After this battle, would he be overthrown in the future?
But thinking of the support from the first installment, Liu Wuxing felt relieved.
"I will listen to Yunyi's teachings more often in the future." Liu Wuxing went down, gritting his teeth in resentment.
However, everyone's eyes were fixed on his face, and they were all furious.
Such angry stares and contempt felt like two knives stabbing Liu Wuxing in the heart.
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and began to analyze the situation in his mind: "This problem is difficult to begin with, what good strategies can they come up with? Let me see what the other three can come up with. I don't believe they can come up with any brilliant ideas."
Liu Wuxing sat down and waited for the next person to come up, feeling very unconvinced.
Everyone was still apprehensive about the future that Liu Wuxing had conceived, and the Cloud Candle Tower fell into a cold and solemn atmosphere.
Until an elder said, "The second part, strategizing and testing countermeasures, begins."
The second group selected to inform everyone of their strategy was the second group, Yun'er Group.
Everyone looked up, their spirits lifted. Ning Hong, a master strategist, possessed unparalleled wisdom; surely she could devise a way to break the deadlock?
Everyone eagerly awaited Ning Hong's brilliant move.
Then, Ning Hong and the other two emerged from the Mirror Palace. Ning Chengshan and Ning Bai bowed to Ning Hong and left, leaving only Ning Hong behind on the Cloud Platform to pay her respects to the elders.
Seeing this, Xu Qingning asked Master Miao, "Why is it Young Master Ning Hong who devised the strategy? Why not Minister Ning Chengshan?"
Master Miao said, "There are rules for this strategy test. The person who comes up with a solution must be the one who has contributed the most to the strategy."
Xu Qingning nodded: "I see."
Miao Shanzhu: "Ning Hong is the 'strategist,' so naturally she will be the one to devise the second plan."
Xu Qingning nodded and waited for Ning Hong to come up with a plan.
Ning Hong said, "Yun Er's plan is, firstly, to establish a 'Wartime Law,' which is to redesign the distribution of immortal materials during wartime. All four departments will be required to pay taxes according to the proportion of their revenue in that year, and the sect leader will distribute the materials in a unified manner."
"At the same time, a merit-based war system will be established, in which cultivators and mortals will be incorporated into the wartime system according to their abilities, and all will be required to serve. Those who disobey orders will be punished as traitors."
Ning Hong also added details to the distribution and merit system.
She was very familiar with the history of Yunning's institutions, and the systems she established were extremely detailed, covering every aspect.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chenghan from the first part suddenly looked somewhat troubled.
