Chapter 445 - Taking the Bait

Zhu Xianye had no intention of questioning it. Since he had already received instructions, he just had to follow them. Although Dai Mubai was his nephew by blood, this bit of kinship was nothing compared to the life and death of the family.

Several days later, inside the palace of the Kville Kingdom, Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, who was leisurely sipping his drink across from him, with a worried expression, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face.

"Xiao San, do you think my uncle will agree to conspire with us to restore the kingdom?"

"Aren't you worried at all that they might refuse? After all, Xue Qinghe has been cultivating influence in Star Luo for several years now."

Tang San's movement of raising his wine cup paused, and a smile slowly curved at the corner of his mouth.

"The probability of them agreeing is indeed not high. After all, our forces are still too insignificant compared to the Heaven Dou Empire."

"However, if they don't agree, so be it. We can still take down the Nili Kingdom by ourselves, it will just take a bit more effort. It won't be difficult to ask the Zhu Family not to block our eastward passage then."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai's worried expression eased slightly, and he immediately nodded and said,

"You're right. Even if they don't agree, it's not a big deal. After taking down the Nili Kingdom, the development environment will be much better, and we can recruit our own soldiers and horses."

"If the Zhu Family doesn't agree, so be it, as long as they don't hinder our development. I think they will still remember this old friendship, even if it's just to leave themselves a way out. After all, the Zhu Family's current situation isn't exactly good either."

While the two were exchanging drinks, the envoy sent by Dai Mubai to Spirit Cat City also successfully returned to the Kville Kingdom and rushed to the palace without any rest.

"Your Highness, the envoy has returned."

"Oh? Let him in."

"Yes."

Dai Mubai put down his wine cup, exchanged a look with Tang San, and directly ordered his subordinates to bring the envoy before him.

Seeing the unconcealable joy on the other party's face, Dai Mubai's heart stirred. Could the situation not be as bad as I thought?

"What is it? Did the Zhu Family agree?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The Nether Duke has agreed to support our uprising. They will begin attacking the Nili Kingdom from the east in half a month."

"Oh? They actually agreed? Hahaha!"

After a burst of laughter, a hint of complacency rose in Dai Mubai's heart. He knew that the Zhu Family had always looked down on him in the past, and now they were actually willing to support his restoration.

Compared to Dai Mubai's excitement, Tang San appeared much more vigilant. He slightly furrowed his brow and began to consider the Nether Duke's intentions. Logically, the head of a clan would not gamble the family's fate on their small force. Could there be a trick involved?

After rewarding the envoy for his promise, Dai Mubai dismissed him.

"How is it, Xiao San? With the Zhu Family's help now, our plan will be much easier."

"Don't you think they agreed too easily?"

Tang San still couldn't believe that the Zhu Family would so easily tie their warship to the two of them. At most, they should only provide some grain and military supplies.

But Dai Mubai waved his hand dismissively.

"Xiao San, didn't you analyze that the Nether Duke's life hasn't been easy after the change in Star Luo? Isn't it normal for them to want to take this opportunity to change the current situation of the family's decline?"

"What's more, I have blood ties with their Zhu Family. If they don't believe me, do they choose to rebel alone? Wouldn't the success rate be even lower?"

"Either way, they will be completely eroded by Xue Qinghe. It's better to fight while there are still viable forces before they are wiped out."

Tang San nodded and did not deny this point. What Dai Mubai said was indeed reasonable. In his estimation, the Zhu Family might not provide support, but it was absolutely impossible for them to attack their side. In that case, the best outcome for the Zhu Family decades later would be to fall into being a third-rate small family.

"Then let's prepare for action. There isn't much time left until the half-month deadline. We need to arrange things in advance."

"Okay, I will immediately convene the generals for discussion. Your Tang Sect should still act in the same way as last time!"

The excitement in Dai Mubai's eyes was completely unrestrained. Having tasted the sweetness of success, he still decided to let the Tang Sect members carry out a decapitation strike against the Nili royal family first. Enemies without a leader were completely defenseless, something they had already experienced when attacking the Kville Kingdom.

Otherwise, given their size, occupying an entire kingdom was simply unrealistic, even if the kingdom's national strength was very weak.

"Okay, after the matter is settled, let's meet with the Nether Duke and see if we can completely win him over."

"Okay, if I, this prince, can truly succeed, I will definitely restore the Zhu Family's past glory. I don't think my uncle will refuse."

The two hit it off immediately and then split up. Dai Mubai arranged for the army to advance to the west of the Nili Kingdom, while Tang San once again sent Tang Sect assassins to deal with the royal family and generals.

In the past few days, Tang San had already armed the Tang Sect subordinates with hidden weapons using existing resources. The strength of these Soul Masters, who were already quite capable, had risen another level. Even if there were Soul Sage level powerhouses stationed in the Nili Kingdom, they were not afraid.

The half-month period not only gave Dai Mubai and the Zhu Family time to mobilize troops, but also allowed the Evil Extermination Sect founded by Da Ming to complete its initial development.

With the financial support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, some rogue Soul Masters in the Star Luo territory chose to join this large tree for shelter. After all, the current environment in the Star Luo territory was not friendly to these rogue Soul Masters.

Compared to the blood of ordinary people, these Soul Masters could better provide sustenance for Tang San himself and for cultivating his forces. To this end, Tang San had arranged many paths to death for the rogue Soul Masters.

Today, Da Ming was reporting the current situation of the Evil Extermination Sect to Ning Bei. Both of them were quite satisfied with the current state of the new sect.

"Not bad, over a hundred people are willing to join in less than a month."

"Heh, we have to thank that Tang San for this. His actions in Star Luo have instilled fear in these rogue Soul Masters. Now that they have a force to rely on, of course they will choose to come and seek refuge."

"Okay, once the situation in the Southwest Three Provinces becomes clear, you can start taking action against the Tang Sect disciples active in the Star Luo territory."

"Okay."

After Da Ming left, Gu Yue also showed Ning Bei a smile.

"Letting them expend a lot of energy and ultimately become rootless duckweed, that's a good tactic of drawing the firewood from under the pot."

"There's nothing I can do. Compared to calculating every step, I'd rather just slap that guy to death with one hand, but I can't do that, can I?"

Hearing this, a cold glint also flashed in the eyes of the Big Mother Dragon.

"Just wait. That day won't be long in coming. I will make those people pay."

Ning Bei smiled, not bothered by her harsh words. After his eyes flickered for a moment, he asked the Big Mother Dragon,

"A Yue, if you could one day rule the God Realm again, what would your attitude towards humans be?"

"Hmm?"

The Silver Dragon King paused slightly, then understood what Ning Bei wanted to ask. A smile that could melt ice and snow flashed across her beautiful face.

"Don't worry, I won't make any rules like 'humans are forbidden from becoming gods.' How the God Realm operates will depend entirely on the abilities of the various races."
