novelSubjugation Decision
| ← Ch.1639 | Ch.1641 → |
Late night, Dual Earth Mountain appeared to be especially quiet.
Under the old tree of a lone yard, two men stood at the stone benches and conversed lightly while enjoying wine.
"The following matters should be quite simple, right?" said the man who looked younger.
"Since New Moon Land disobeyed the decision of us royalties, even if the people in that territory are all slaughtered, us royalties and Divine Sect will not care, " said Family Master Gu as he stroked his beard.
"How can I be so cruel?" The young man laughed.
"No, this is not cruelty. They are causing us trouble by being unwilling to migrate. Are they going to use their meager power to oppose Ancient Flood Dragon Person themselves? Laughable, " said Family Master Gu.
That young man held his wine cup and offered a toast to Family Master Gu, then gulped down the wine.
"Divine Sect's Punishment palace is already willing to move. Elemental clan's fire sect, wind sect and dark sect are interested in those isolated spaces. Someone from Departed Spirit Palace wants to join in, Demon Beast Palace's Beast Sect surely won't just watch the profits getting reaped. On Mu Family side, Mu Tuan's bloodline mentioned that land originally belonged to them. Ning Family Dynasty did not really make any move. It seems that King Ning does not know New Moon Land well. As for Navy...... Chieftain is most interested in this land, " said the young man.
"That's your business. I'm only giving you a justification to do this, " Family Master Gu did not say anything more.
The two raised their cups and toasted again.
While the two conversed, they did not notice a figure completely blended into the darkness agility jumping away from the side.
This figure did not make any sound or spatial ripple. Even royalty's Family Master Gu could not notice its existence.
The shadow left this yard, crossed through the darkness and flew towards a Mountain Peak Villa.
The lighting from the villa in the distance shone onto the old trees along the road. The tree shadow swayed along the wind.
This petite shadow agility jumped up the staircase all the way to the scenery viewing pavilion at the end of the road.
In the pavilion, Evil Good Queen with her face covered in veil looked into the distance. Her soft silk skirt fluttered in the wind. Her crimson long hair also seemed extraordinarily charming in the dark night.
That petite shadow lightly leaped up into Evil Good Queen's bosom.
Evil Good Queen held it in one hand and stroked its soft fur with her other hand.
"You're so reluctant when I asked you to help me gather intel, " Evil Good Queen flicked its forehead with her finger.
Little Dark Death King yawned and leaned there with a bored and sleepy expression.
Evil Good Queen's evil and darkness energy really suited this Ten Thousand Years Immortal Dark Death King's appetite. It had been sealed for such a long time after all, so many parts of its body were already weakening. It had to keep absorbing evil and darkness enee to gradually recover to its peak state.
Dark Death King opened its mouth and cried out a few times, conveying the conversation it heard just now to Evil Good Queen.
After hearing it, Evil Good Queen continued stroking Dark Death King's fur and became loss in thoughts.
"Is this guy an underling of him?"
"But, New Moon Land is really in trouble this time."
"Hmph, it's all because of that bastard Chu Mu, he messed up my plan, " muttered Evil Good Queen.
If not for Chu Mu sabotaging her rule over New Moon Land, according to her original plan, the current New Moon Land should not be inferior to Beiming City or He City.
New Moon Land was already full of danger. It would not be long before the various major factions joining forces and subjugating New Moon Land. Furthermore, they would be using the justification from the royalties. This caused New Moon Land to be in a situation where they would be invaded and yet could not ask for help.
Evil Good Queen's intention was to let Liu Binglan compromise and temporarily migrate New Moon Land. Unfortunately, Liu Binglldid not listen. Although she never announced New Moon Land's racial independence, she made New Moon Land to be in a situation that was similar to racial independence. She let those greedy factions gain a great excuse.
A war was inevitable!
If Liu Binglan refused to compromise, the final result would really be as that mastermind predicted. The various factions would join forces and subjugate New Moon Land. With New Moon Land's current strength, it would be a total annihilation even if they had the territory advantage.
"Where did that Chu Mu run off to?" grumbled Evil Good Queen.
Chu Mu should have personally attended this conference. After all, he was the real king of New Moon Land, and his strength would guarantee his qualification to speak.
Yet Chu Mu was nowhere to be seen at such a crucial time. He made Liu Binglan face humiliation and pressure by herself. What a heartless man.
Evil Good Queen had to discuss the strategy with Chu Mu now.
The various factions would be joining forces to subjugate New Moon Land. This would be a disaster for New Moon Land. However, thinking about it from another perspective, if this subjugation ended in failure and they did not reap any profit, Evil Good Queen could rapidly spread her own forces into these factions.
Xuan Gate Immortal School's Gate Master could more or less be confirmed. In Divine Sect's Magistrate Palace, there were many of her forces deployed. Xiao Xueang and Old Sect Master Xiao were also leaning towards New Moon Land's side. Demon Beast Palace, Elemental Clan, Mu Family Dynasty, Ning Family Dynasty, as well as other large households and sects all had their forces infiltrated by her.
Those factions intending to subjugate New Moon Land were factions Yu Suo's Invisible Kingdom did not infiltrate. If they sent their army to war, Evil Good Queen could infiltrate those factions while their bases were empty.
However, the problem was that if New Moon Land was destroyed, this loss would be far greater than spreading out the influence of the Invisible Kingdom. After all, New Moon Land was the foundation of the Invisible Kingdom.
The more Evil Good Queen thought, the more frustrated she became. Things did not develop according to her plans. There was not much time left, Evil Good Queen's grudge worsened. If Chu Mu was around, she would scold Chu Mu even if she would be locked up.
After becoming Chu Mu's soul pet, the greatest harvest Evil Good Queen gained was to have learned how to discard her elegance and reservation, then scold others without caring about consequences. When she was still in Heaven Palace, she felt those vulgarities to be crude. Now, she seemed to feel those words were the best choice to vent her anger. The moment she saw Chu Mu's face, she would feel the urge to throw those vulgarities at him.
......
As the matter was already settled, Dual Earth Conference was meaningless to Liu Binglan. In the morning of the next day, she brought New Moon Land's people and left Dual Earth Mountain.
Taking into consideration that the royalties might imprison Liu Binglan, Yu Suo sent a few experts to escort her departure.
However, when Yu Suo's subordinates reported back to her soon after, she was slightly surprised, "So many people protecting her in secret? Looks like she's not so lonely."
Yu Suo's subordinate reported that there were at least three groups of people protecting Liu Binglan's departure in the dark. At first, they assumed those people were intending to harm Liu Binglan. However, they noticed those people did not make a move until the end and strictly chased away other people with ulterior motives. They then confirmed that those people were also secretly protecting Liu Binglan like them.
With three groups of experts protecting Liu Binglan, Yu Suo did not need to worry about their safety anymore. She did not leave Dual Earth Mountain early. Her Guang Moon Palace was a neutral faction after all. Even if New Moon Land and the two royalties became enemies, she had to maintain her Guang Moon Palace's disguise. Only by doing so could deal a fatal blow to these people at the most crucial moment.
......
At the end of the conference on the third day, they mentioned New Moon Land's betrayal as expected.
The six Family Masters reached a consensus that if New Moon Land did not migrate within a year, it would be treated as racial independence. Any faction would gain the right to subjugate New Moon Land.
This decision was unable to be taken back. After all, too many factions were after the resources in New Moon Land's isolated spaces.
A tiny territory was able to develop until it was on par with some middle rank Border Kingdoms in a few years, This was sufficient to prove a huge treasure vault was in New Moon Land.
Any faction would face a bottle neck in development as all the resources were occupied. Nobody would dare to occupy those that could not be occupied. With New Moon Land's sudden emergence, they would definitely make a move for their own benefits once there was a justification and enough factions joining forces!
Independent territories mostly voted opposition, Border Kingdom factions mostly forfeited. Major factions naturally voted approval. Xiao Xueang, Xuan Gate Immortal School's Old Sect Master voted for opposition. Unfortunately, they were only one of the leaders, not the absolute leader. Their opposition could not change the flow.
Seeing such a situation, Yu Suo did not let her thirty subordinates reveal themselves in the end.
Facing over two hundred factions in this Dual Eearth Mountain, thirty votes could not change anything. The power she could grasp was still too meager.
......
"Saintess Yu, since the conference is over, please follow me to Wupan, " After the conference, King Ning took the initiative to invite Yu Suo.
"Since the plague is still spreading in Wupan, I shall not delay any further. Let's go, " Yu Suo nodded.
The royalty gave New Moon Land one year as the deadline for migration. Her trip to Wupan this time was a great chance to expand her forces. If she could hold more cards in her hands before the war broke out, it would definitely be better.
"Why are you always wearing a veil? Is it because your appearance is too beautiful or are there some inconveniences?" asked King Ning as he examined Yu Suo curiously.
"Personal habit, " answered Yu Suo.
"Then, can you take off your veil and allow me to see your face?" said King Ning jokingly.
Yu Suo smiled and did not answer. She also did not take off her veil, but she thought so in her mind: Perhaps there's a shortcut to infiltrate into Ning Family Dynasty?
Flowers were beautiful and fragrant. Anybody would want to pluck flowers, be it a common nobody or high and mighty king.
However, nobody actually plucked Evil Good Flower. Those who wanted to pluck it submitted themselves under her.
