"I think you did this on purpose, trying to harm our Soul Serpent Kingdom!"
The middle-aged man, Wu Shang, looked at Chen Chu with even a hint of hostility, "Perhaps you are a spy sent by the Soul Sea Kingdom!"
Chen Chu took a deep breath, feeling somewhat helpless.
Unexpectedly, his identity was even questioned.
However, it's normal for them to have doubts about themselves to some extent.
Even if I were in their shoes, I might still become suspicious.
"Wu Shang, please let him finish speaking," the Empress said softly.
Wu Shang then fell silent, but judging from his expression, he seemed ready to seize any loopholes in Chen Chu's words.
Chen Chu thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then continued.
"As the host, we provide convenience to the Soul Sea Kingdom, allowing them to attack other countries through our Soul Serpent Kingdom without losing a single soldier."
“We can even provide them with better convenience, which is equivalent to placing our Soul Serpent Kingdom in the position of their vassal state.”
When Chen Chu finished speaking, even the Empress had some doubts. Could this kid really be a spy sent by the Soul Sea Kingdom?
"But this is only part of the plan. We can have the Soul Sea Kingdom attack the Soul Hook Kingdom to put enough pressure on them so that the Soul Hook Kingdom will take the initiative to send troops to help us."
Wu Shang listened to Chen Chu's words with distrust and then questioned him.
"Even if the Soul-Hooking Kingdom can send troops to help us, we might not be able to stop the Soul Sea Kingdom with just the strength of our two countries!"
"The Soul Sea Kingdom we are facing now is merely their vanguard!"
Chen Chu smiled and said, "Lord Wushang, please don't be in a hurry, let me finish."
"Besides the Soul-Hooking Kingdom, we are also doing this to put pressure on the Soul Sea Kingdom in front of the other two kingdoms."
"Of course, we also need to convey to them that we were completely forced to do this, and only if they send troops to help us attack the Soul Sea Kingdom can we get rid of the Soul Sea Kingdom's control."
"The main reason they sent troops to help us was for their own benefit, because we could serve as the first line of defense against the expansion of the Soul Sea Kingdom. As long as we were not breached, they would be safe!"
After Chen Chu finished speaking, everyone present changed their expressions!
Because they suddenly realized that Chen Chu's plan was actually feasible!
Han Kai stroked his chin and said, "Your Majesty, this method may not succeed, but I think it's worth a try!"
Although Wu Shang frowned and looked at Chen Chu with considerable doubt, he surprisingly did not raise any objections.
The Empress nodded slightly, then asked curiously.
How did you come up with this idea?
Chen Chu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, if things continue to develop as they are, even if we ask them for help, they may not lend a hand. They might even take advantage of our misfortune!"
"However, once the Soul Sea Kingdom borrows a passage through our Soul Serpent Kingdom to attack the Soul Hook Kingdom, the other two countries will naturally know that the safety and independence of our Soul Serpent Kingdom are closely related to the safety of their respective kingdoms."
"The saying 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold' perfectly illustrates this point!"
The Empress suddenly revealed a hint of appreciation in her eyes, "What you said is very good, then let's do it your way!"
With that, the Empress looked at the twelve saints, "Did you all hear that clearly? Han Kai, you go to the Soul-Hooking Kingdom; Wu Shang, you go to the Kingdom of Life and Death; and Ying Wen, you go to the Kingdom of Helplessness!"
"We must be quick and spread the message far and wide to cause panic and fear among them. Ideally, we should put them in a state of universal mobilization."
The Empress spoke with a smile on her lips, seemingly quite satisfied with Chen Chu's method.
The sages exchanged glances, then bowed and said.
"Yes, sir!"
After giving these instructions, the Empress then looked at Qingxuan Goddess, one of the eight great demon generals.
"Qingxuan, your ability to protect yourself is beyond the reach of all of them, so you will secretly go to the Soul Sea Kingdom's military camp. If things go wrong, you can quickly escape back."
The Goddess Qingxuan was not surprised and said, "Qingxuan obeys!"
However, Chen Chu reminded them, "When speaking to the general of the Soul Sea Kingdom, we must be polite and show our determination as the host so that they can see the benefits!"
“It must be brought up that if we fight, everyone in our Soul Serpent Kingdom will fight with everything we have. But if you spare us, after the Soul Sea Kingdom has dealt with the other kingdoms, we can become a vassal state and part of the Soul Sea Kingdom’s power.”
Qingxuan gave Chen Chu a deep look, and then said, "Okay, I've got it!"
Chen Chu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qing Xuan was not as hostile to him as Han Kai and Wu Shang were just now. Otherwise, he would have been really afraid that something would go wrong during his mission to the Soul Sea Kingdom.
After all, this matter requires some explanation.
If you don't speak well, you might end up making things worse.
After all the gods and generals had dispersed, the Empress abandoned her imperial dignity and leaned lazily against the back of her wide chair.
"Come here and give me a shoulder massage!"
Chen Chu's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head to speak.
"yes!"
As Chen Chu approached, a faint fragrance uncontrollably entered his nostrils.
His heart was stirred.
When Chen Chu placed his hands on the Empress's shoulders, he could even sense that beneath the Empress's dignified exterior lay a gentle, feminine heart.
Chen Chu asked, "Empress, is this force appropriate?"
"Acceptable!"
The Empress, with her eyes closed, asked casually, "How did you get here?"
Chen Chu hesitated for a moment, then said, "In the first level of the Ghost Realm, I was besieged by seven Saints and forced to use a large teleportation talisman to get here."
"The first level of the Ghost Realm?" The Empress looked puzzled. "You mean, the outside world?"
Chen Chu didn't hide anything, but said, "Where we live, we call this place the Ghost Realm. The first level of the Ghost Realm is filled with endless low-level ghosts and monsters. We built tall walls to defend against these ghosts and monsters."
"The second level, which is here, is a forbidden area that no one has set foot in for many years. I don't know why, but after using a teleportation talisman, I came here."
Chen Chu's words puzzled the Empress, but also aroused her curiosity.
It seems that, in Chen Chu's mind, the world they live in is only a small part of the world Chen Chu lives in.
What is your world like?
Chen Chu thought for a moment, then said, “Our place is very different from here. There is no war, and most people live in peace and tranquility. The strong protect the weak, and there is no need to worry about being drawn into war at any time.”
"Moreover, our world is very prosperous!"
