Chapter 950: Chapter 532: Purple Qi Comes from the East, Primordial Spirit Yang Transformation!

Central State, Capital.

Inside the Imperial Study Room.

Jingtai, clad in a yellow dragon robe, had a slightly somber gaze. Earlier, he personally drafted an edict for King of Beiliang, Wei Jinfeng, and also provided a large amount of Silver Taels and Primordial Crystals, yet the other party showed no sign of gratitude.

Not even a word of thanks for the imperial grace, which made his displeasure reach its peak.

“Your Majesty.”

Cao Zhengxian called out softly, watching Jingtai’s gloomy expression.

Actually, he didn’t find Wei Jinfeng’s response strange; after all, this time the court did outsmart him. Thirty thousand elite soldiers and two True Monarchs didn’t go to the fiercest battlefield in Liangzhou but went to Youzhou instead.

Anyone would feel discontent.

The only pity is that the Emperor’s plan fell through. Originally, he intended to use the Northern Barbarians’ cavalry force to completely deplete the Beiliang Army, at most sacrificing some civilian casualties.

Nevertheless, the court still had confidence in recapturing the ‘lost land’.

This lost land not only pointed at the Northern Barbarians but also at King of Beiliang, Wei Jinfeng.

Under his management over the years, Liangzhou is now as impenetrable as an iron barrel, with the people knowing only the King of Beiliang and not the Emperor, almost as if partitioned off.

Moreover, most importantly, among the two major foreign princes of the court, the Prince Zhen Nan was more compliant with the court’s orders, but Wei Jinfeng truly adhered to his terms without heed to the imperial commands.

If beneficial, it’s fine; otherwise, he would directly oppose the imperial edict.

Though the Emperor’s actions may not be suitable, they are understandable.

At least, Cao Zhengxian could understand.

“Hmm, what’s the matter?”

Jingtai slowly raised his head, asking calmly.

“According to what your servant knows, over in Liangzhou… the court’s prestige has dropped to the extreme. If things go on… I’m afraid Wei Jinfeng will no longer endure.”

Cao Zhengxian spoke gently.

His words were not very blunt, but Jingtai could understand them, implying he should restrain himself and not further press Wei Jinfeng at this juncture.

Otherwise, he might really push him to rebellion.

Although the Beiliang Army suffered heavy losses and over half casualties, now everyone in Liangzhou is united, and Wei Jinfeng’s prestige has reached an unprecedented peak.

Facing seventy thousand Northern Barbarian cavalry without flinching, but protecting Liangzhou, he will surely earn the love of the Liangzhou people. If the court wanted to take advantage of Liangzhou’s weakness to replace him.

The force erupted might be stronger than at its previous peak!

Even though training new soldiers takes time, the sheer number of people cannot be resisted.

“I know.”

Jingtai said calmly, his mood inscrutable.

“Your servant feels that appeasement should be the main approach.”

“Hmm.”

Seeing Jingtai’s lack of interest, Cao Zhengxian perceptively refrained from speaking further, immediately shutting his mouth, leaving the Imperial Study Room in a brief silence.

It was only after a long time that Jingtai spoke:

“I hadn’t expected that this time the Old Gold Royal Court actually had a Barbarian God join the battle.”

This shocked him the most. Except for the founding battle from years ago, for nearly a hundred years, it seems there hasn’t been a Sixth Realm Immortal to make a move, at least not openly.

Thus, when they made a move in Liangzhou this time, it greatly exceeded his expectations.

“It seems the Old Gold Royal Court has been planning for a long time.”

“This time, Wei Jinfeng crippled seventy thousand Northern Barbarian cavalry, ensuring that they won’t head south for at least twenty years, which is indeed a good thing, at least… if I make some moves, the trouble in the north will be resolved.”

He wouldn’t lose much, whether the Old Gold Royal Court or the King of Beiliang won or lost. If the King of Beiliang lost, he could seize the opportunity to reclaim Liangzhou, solidifying the court’s foundation; with both the Old Gold Royal Court and Beiliang suffering heavy losses.

The north would be worry-free during that period.

It would also allow him to truly begin his own planning.

He had been enduring previously, hoping not to cause too much shock, as simultaneous unrest in the north and south would bring too much pressure on the court.

“Your Majesty is right. By the way, how does Your Majesty plan to deal with Chen Yuan?”

Cao Zhengxian suddenly asked.

He was well aware that Chen Yuan had disobeyed the imperial edict this time, causing some annoyance to the Emperor, even with great achievements.

“Chen Yuan….”

A cold gleam flashed in Jingtai’s eyes.

The refusal to return to the Capital despite the imperial edict had already displeased him. Of course, he was truly displeased not because Chen Yuan resisted the Northern Barbarians but because he suddenly realized that Chen Yuan, this soon-to-be-forged sharp blade, was somewhat uncontrollable.

In the future, there might be a risk of backlash.

“What is his current situation?”

“Seems to be still in a near-death state, not awakening, hoping not too high.”

That’s the sect-protecting Immortal Artifact of Wudang Mountain. With his mere Core Realm Cultivation, daring to wield the Power of All Living Beings to activate it, he was indeed courting death; the Sixth Realm’s Dao Yun Rules would grind him down to nothing.

“If he dies, posthumously confer him as a marquis and bury him honorably in the Capital. If he survives…. we’ll discuss further.”

Jingtai squinted his eyes slightly.

Although now he was somewhat displeased with Chen Yuan, viewing from a bystander’s angle, it must be said this young man indeed possessed terrifying talent.

How long has it been?

He could already suppress Yang Transformation.

His future potential is simply limitless, even Jingtai himself felt a bit of talent cherishing.

However, the matter of him wielding the Power of All Living Beings left him quite displeased, even loathing.

Because even he couldn’t wield the Power of All Living Beings for his use.

“Yes, your servant adheres to your wishes.”

A trace of a smile appeared on Cao Zhengxian’s face, eager for Chen Yuan to remain downcast, so as not to intrigue him in the future, since Chen Yuan, now capable of severing Yang Transformation.

At present, already possessing enough strength to pose a threat to him.

He felt somewhat uneasy.
