Chapter 1988
In Peidu, the Clay Bodhisattva walked quickly into the Luoshui Palace and brought the important news that Gu Chen had been waiting for many days.
A day ago, Sage Liu attacked the Sacred Grounds of Eight Branches. Other than a few members who escaped, the Sacred Grounds of Eight Branches were almost completely annihilated!
Along with this shocking news was the news that the Hakone Saint had died. Now, the outside world was saying that Liu Sheng had killed the Hakone Saint!
Even though the direction of the script perfectly matched the intentions of the originator, Gu Chen still secretly clicked his tongue.
He had guessed that the Green Willow Holy Ground would act quickly, but he did not expect that it would be Sage Willow himself who would exterminate the Eight Branches Holy Ground!
Willow Sage's ruthlessness and decisiveness in killing had somewhat exceeded his expectations, but after thinking about it, this was the best choice for Willow Sage.
Anyway, the Green Willow Holy Ground was going to snatch the territory of the Yamata Sects Holy Ground. If they could wipe out the enemy in one go, why would they let them go for some empty reputation and create a lot of trouble for themselves?
It was conceivable that the higher-ups of the Hakone Sacred Grounds must have gathered in the Sacred Grounds to discuss matters at the critical moment of the Hakone Saint's death.
With Willow Sage's actions, the Hakone Sacred Grounds had completely lost its backbone. The remaining people were just a motley crew. The Green Willow Sacred Grounds could obtain the territory and benefits of the Hakone Sacred Grounds at the lowest price.
He had struck it rich!
"Our spies in various parts of the Jade Dynasty have been sending back news. After the Hakone Sacred Ground was annihilated, the Green Willow Sacred Ground quickly took action. They either bribed or forcefully seized the territories of the Hakone Sacred Ground."
"At this rate, it won't take more than a few days for them to become fatties. Boss, aren't you envious? "
The Clay Bodhisattva smiled bitterly. The Orochi Saint was obviously killed by their boss, and they were fully capable of destroying the Orochi Sacred Ground. However, they gave up the initiative in the end, and the Green Willow Sacred Ground took advantage of it.
Although they had ransacked the Hakone Saint's treasury, the various territories and businesses owned by the Hakone Sacred Grounds could generate a steady stream of wealth, which was actually more valuable.
"What's the use of being envious? If I could just snatch it away, why would I be willing to give it up? What's more, the Green Willow Holy Ground might not be able to swallow all of them. Even if they did, they might have to spit out some. "
Gu Chen shook his head. If he made use of his power to seize the initiative, it would be equivalent to telling everyone that the death of the Orochi Saint was related to him.
His identity could not be exposed, and he could not even give others a chance to suspect him. He would not seek trouble for himself.
Moreover, if the Hakone Saint had died at the hands of Liu Sheng, it would be considered an internal conflict within the Yu Dynasty. However, if he had died at the hands of Liu Sheng, the nature of the matter would be different.
Under his deliberate arrangement, the Pei Dynasty displayed an attitude of peaceful coexistence with the Yu Dynasty. Even their ally, the Chen Clan, had no ambitions.
This way, they would not arouse the suspicion and suspicion of others, but if the matter was exposed, they would definitely be viewed with hostility by everyone!
He did not care about the enmity between the Green Willow Sanctuary and the Jade Clan. What he was afraid of was the powerful neighbor of the Jade Dynasty, the strongest dynasty that had a Dao Ancestor!
At his current stage, he did not have the confidence to go against the Great Ancestor, and the forces under him were not on the same level as the Muhuang Dynasty.
Therefore, he could only restrain his sharp claws. No matter how ambitious he was, he could not expose them.
It was because of this consideration that he purposely suppressed the ambition of the Chen Clan and prevented them from fighting for the interests of the Yu Dynasty. It was to numb the true enemy.
"Boss, do you mean that the Shepherd Tribe will not sit idly by and watch the Green Willow Sanctuary dominate the Jade Dynasty? They will soon take measures to weaken them?"
The Clay Bodhisattva understood the situation of the Yu Dynasty. After hearing Gu Chen's words, he quickly guessed what he meant.
"That's right. The Shepherd Tribe has always treated the Yu Dynasty as their backyard. They will definitely not be willing to have a force that has absolute say in the Yu Dynasty, as it will not be beneficial for them to exert influence.
"However, the destruction of the Hakone Sacred Ground is a done deal, and the balance has been broken. What they can do next is to find a way to restore the balance.
"The Jade Clan has always been obedient, so the Shepherd Tribe will first find a way to support the Jade Clan and use them to weaken the influence of the Green Willow Sanctuary.
"Although the Jade Clan is rich, they have never been as valiant as the other two sacred grounds because they lack a Saint. Now that the Green Willow Sanctuary has taken over the territory of the Hakone Sacred Ground, their influence has expanded rapidly again. It will be even more difficult for the Jade Clan to keep them in check.
"Under such circumstances, what do you think the Shepherd Tribe will do? In the Yu Dynasty, which force has the ability to keep the Green Willow Sanctuary in check? "
The corners of Gu Chen's lips curled up. He had made himself very clear.
The Clay Bodhisattva's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, the Chen Clan's chance is here!"
"That's right. The Chen Clan has always been suppressed because of Saint Chen. The biggest source of pressure is actually the Shepherd Tribe."
"As long as the Shepherd Tribe doesn't agree, it will be meaningless even if the Chen Clan forms an alliance with the Pei Dynasty. It won't change the fact that they are isolated. If they have any ambition, even the Pei Dynasty might face a crisis."
Back when he tricked the Chen Clan Leader into forming an alliance, the Great Prophet had encouraged the Chen Clan and said that it was time for them to come out again. However, how could it be that easy?
With the Great Prophet as their backing, the Chen Clan indeed had the guts to take a step forward. However, if they took a step too big, they would pull their balls.
The current situation was the right time for the Chen Clan to come out. They only needed to go with the flow, and the Chen Clan's past predicament would naturally be resolved. Getting the Chen Clan out of their predicament would be very important to his later plans!
"Wonderful! What do you mean by legitimate? This is legitimate! No wonder Boss kept stopping the Chen Clan's elders. It's a pity that they didn't know about Boss's intentions at all! "
The Clay Bodhisattva exclaimed. This step-by-step plan was indeed impressive. He suspected that Boss might have thought of getting rid of the Hakone Saint a long time ago. The accident at the Fear Fort had only brought the plan forward.
"If nothing goes wrong, Chen Shanming will personally come to Peidu to persuade us in a few days. Even if I kneel down this time, I'm afraid he'll force me to convince the Great Prophet," Gu Chen teased.
"How would they know that everything is actually decided by you, Boss?"
The Clay Bodhisattva shook his head. The Chen Clan's rhythm had been completely grasped, but they didn't know it at all. On the other hand, such a huge change had happened in the Jade Dynasty, but no one had thought that Boss was behind all this.
Boss had hidden himself too well. He clearly had a powerful physique that allowed him to look down on the world, but he was so cautious at every step. Nobody knew what he had experienced in the past.
Perhaps all this had something to do with the man who had the same name as him!
The Clay Bodhisattva guessed in his heart. He had participated in the entire game between the Peidu Dynasty and the Heaven and Earth Group. After knowing Gu Chen's real name, it wasn't difficult for him to guess some things.
The person in the Heaven and Earth Group was extremely powerful. If Boss wanted to compete with him, it was destined that he wouldn't be limited to the Peidu Dynasty.
As for the direction he wanted to go, if there was anyone who wanted to stop him, he would most likely kill the gods and Buddhas who stood in his way.
