Chapter 242: Chapter 223 Heavenly Market Constellation_2
But this is not just the Immortal Palace, in fact, the Three Great Sects were all involved.
After all, the Immortal Palace of that era was the revival under Emperor Wu, with the Great General sweeping the Northern Plain and Yin Mountain, the military power of the Immortal Palace was at its peak, and the elite hundred battles of the Great General and his subordinates of that time were incomparable to the bandits led by Marquis Zhongshan now. This army would cause significant damage to the Mystic Sect Divine Sect, whether attacking Qianzhou or expeditioning to the Western Regions.
Therefore, there is a saying in the Cultivation World, that at that time Mystical Sect and the Divine Sect acted simultaneously, deceiving Emperor Wu and Prince Li separately, attempting to redirect the trouble and induce this army to attack the other. After all, in a three-legged standoff, the best scenario is to see two opponents fight each other to the death.
So under the calculations of those with ulterior motives, the relationship between Prince Li and Emperor Wu was provoked, creating intense conflict, and eventually leading to chaos in the court, leading to internal strife within the Three Constellations, self-destruction. In the end, the Immortal Palace exploded completely, resulting in a chaotic battle.
Not only Prince Li, but all the sons of Emperor Wu and the Great General also perished in this internal strife, leaving the remnant of the army to be thrown far into the jungles of the Southern Border in Li Country to fight mosquitoes, and the inevitable decline of the Immortal Palace once again.
At this moment, suddenly a sacrificial script was blown to Tie Dan by a sinister wind, and having nothing else to do, he decided to act as though he was sincerely paying respects to Prince Li.
Tie Dan picked it up, cleared his throat and read aloud.
"To the east of the peach grove, the ancient plain vast and desolate, the plants suffer in spring, the winds and smoke obscure the day. I hold the reins in hesitation, seeing the standing obelisk existing here, this is where the successor of the celestial martial lineage was executed, then a platform was built to comfort the wandering souls. Alas! Since ancient times there has been death, how can we overcome these sorrows..."
Jian Jia over there didn’t come out to stop him, so Tie Dan, with Lord Xiao’s spirit upon him, continued to read with a rhythm.
"...time passes on, no seeking, people and things are gone, the platform collapses, overgrown and wild, lingering sorrow eternally."
After finishing the recitation, Tie Dan shook his hands, and with a blue flame, burnt the sacrificial script to ashes.
Suddenly a sigh came from behind, Tie Dan turned his head and saw a man in black standing on the courtyard wall, lamenting,
"Lingering sorrow eternally..."
Oh, so he caught a fish.
So Tie Dan looked at him carefully, feeling speechless.
This guy is a Martial Cultivator, coming to pay respects to the Crown Prince, naturally someone from the Demon Palace, but this aura... he seems to be in Divinity Transformation?
Is this a joke, the fish in the Three Constellations are too big...
Fortunately, the man in black didn’t strike down to kill a junior, just glanced at Tie Dan,
"Aren’t you of the Demon Sect, what are you pretending for by crying like a cat for a mouse?"
It seems the Demon Palace’s pill-taking Divinity Transformation is indeed capable.
Tie Dan calmly replied,
"Whatever Immortal Emperor this and Crown Prince that, I don’t miss too much, only being born in Shuofang, I have always admired the heroics of the Great General, just lamenting if the Great General were still around, how could he let those Evil Dragons wreak havoc, harming the people. The Demon Palace has so many Immortal Pills, yet not one was spared for the Great General, truly pitiful and lamentable."
The man in black stayed silent for a moment, not caring about the impertinent words earlier, just asked,
"Now that Evil Dragon has grown strong, what do you Mountain Men plan to do."
Heh, what can Mountain Men do, not my business. As long as the Stone Dragon doesn’t seek death by crossing mountains, the Mystic Sect won’t care.
Though Tie Dan isn’t really a proper Mountain Man yet, he thought for a moment, didn’t propose the Ranger’s ’a grain of pill can capture it’, said,
"Even the Great General has paid respects in the Three Constellations, the Immortal Palace is rich through the seas, if it’s to fight, just send armies, cross the river and attack. The Stone Dragon relies on a mere two hundred thousand horse riders of the Kan Country, now scattered everywhere, maybe not even a hundred thousand in hand.
If it’s not dealt with now, wait until he swallows the fertile lands of Hebei, grows fuller and assembles three to five hundred thousand troops, the mere Kan and Gen counties won’t satisfy that beast’s appetite.
We Mountain Men don’t care, whoever becomes Immortal Emperor is the same, only pity the many people in this city, afraid they will end up as meat in the Wolf Soldiers’ pot."
The man in black sighed,
"How could I not know, it’s all obvious, but the lords keep arguing, yet who knows what the Great General is still cautious of..."
Tie Dan sneered,
"What else can the Three Constellations quarrel about, isn’t it just about positions. Even the eight Colonels have to quarrel, does the Vice General have to quarrel, does the General have to quarrel? How to divide the money if they win, and how to divide the pot if they lose? If you don’t argue clearly, how do the people behind you see you? Will anyone support you? If you don’t argue others will!"
But isn’t this the plan you all designed. If no one argues, the Great General decides with a word, how can anyone sleep peacefully in the Ziwei Constellation?"
The man in black clearly understood as well, only silent for a moment,
"What’s to be done."
It was just a sigh, but Tie Dan, being cheeky, really offered advice,
"Anyway, everyone has to argue, it’s inevitable, but things have priority, so why not throw in a bigger trigger for them to argue over.
As long as no one obstructs the military matters, that should be enough."
The man in black understood, but seemingly didn’t quite get it,
"What can be more worth arguing over than the issues of Kan and Gen states..."
Tie Dan shook his head,
"Those states must be taken before they can be distributed, actually no one would be too entangled by them.
As for what is bigger than the states, heh, what can be bigger than the states, of course it’s the realm of the nine provinces and twelve countries.
Your Excellency wandered here tonight, do I have to spell it out to help you make up your mind."
The man in black stayed silent for a while, both looking at the tomb of Prince Li, finally shook his head,
"If the Qing Palace was still around, the world wouldn’t be like this..."
