Chapter 169 3 Entering the Great Yuan
Kongming bowed slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "As far as I know, each of the three major sects of the Great Yuan Dynasty has two Nascent Soul elders in charge, and they have many disciples. Is the Pavilion Master sending me to my death?"
Eunuch Jiang narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "The three major sects are indeed powerful. Even my Blood Drop Pavilion has to avoid their sharp edge in a head-on confrontation. What I need you to do is to incite internal strife among them. As for the method, with your skills, I don't need to worry about it!"
Kongming lightly patted his feather fan, a cold smile playing on his lips.
It seems this Nascent Soul cultivator wants him to dismantle the three major sects of the Great Yuan Dynasty from within, so that the Blood Drop Pavilion can reap the benefits and achieve its goal of restoring the kingdom.
However, the Yuan Dynasty was not the only country that destroyed the Great Qian Dynasty.
Kongming waved his feather fan and said to Eunuch Jiang, "It's not difficult to incite them to fight amongst themselves, but how can the other three kingdoms besides the Great Yuan sit idly by? When that happens, it will trigger a chain reaction from all sides, bringing your esteemed pavilion to the surface. Don't blame me, Pavilion Master!"
"Hmph, my Blood Drop Pavilion has been operating in the shadows for many years and is not without resources. As long as we can instigate infighting among the three major factions of the Great Yuan Dynasty and then seize control of the situation, that will be the day when my Great Qian Dynasty rises again. The other three kingdoms will have to think twice before trying to do what they did back then!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Eunuch Jiang's eyes.
Kongming frowned slightly. If the Blood Drop Pavilion dared to show itself, its strength must be considerable, and it might even stir up a world war, drawing in all forces.
Blood Drop Pavilion is ruthless. If it takes advantage of the chaos to rise up and expand further with the Great Yuan as its base, it may break the original balance.
Although the three major factions of the Great Yuan Dynasty have been instigated to fight amongst themselves, they are still formidable forces, and they will inevitably fight back for their own interests in their confrontation with the Blood Drop Pavilion.
If the other three kingdoms were to discover the Blood Drop Pavilion's ambitions, they would not stand idly by.
Once Blood Drop Pavilion gains control of the Great Yuan Dynasty, its power will expand rapidly, creating a massive vortex that will attract forces from all sides to vie for control.
Driven by their own interests, various factions are highly likely to unite against the Blood Drop Pavilion, which would trigger new conflicts and wars.
However, Kongming didn't care about these things. He didn't care if people fought to the death. If a chaotic war really broke out, Kongming's forces could develop stealthily. What seemed like a crisis actually provided him with a rare opportunity for development.
Thinking of this, Kongming's lips curled up slightly, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
"Since the Pavilion Master has this confidence, then I will go all out. However, let me make it clear beforehand that the Blood Drop Pavilion must fully cooperate with my actions and must not interfere arbitrarily."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Eunuch Jiang's eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Of course. As long as you can complete this mission, you can allocate all the resources."
Kongming sneered inwardly. This eunuch Jiang thought he was under his control, but little did he know that he had other plans.
Kongming continued, "I need time to make arrangements. First, I need to place people in various factions within the Yuan Dynasty, and I also need some intelligence support."
"No problem, Duanmu Qing will handle this intelligence matter properly. But you must act quickly and not disappoint me."
After saying this, a cold glint flashed in Eunuch Jiang's eyes, and he continued, "If your mission fails, you should understand the consequences. I wonder where you plan to start?"
Kongming smiled slightly, "It's been a long time since I've seen the Crown Prince Temujin of the Great Yuan. I wonder if he would still recognize me standing in front of him now!"
Eunuch Jiang was slightly taken aback, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face. You see, he had been lurking in the palace for over a hundred years and had not found a single opportunity.
Trying to instigate internal strife within the cultivation world from the mortal realm is easier said than done.
In the eyes of the three major factions, the imperial power in the mortal world is nothing more than a tool for them to seize profits; it is no exaggeration to call it a puppet.
Imagine, how could those high and mighty cultivators care about the ants in their eyes?
"Difficult!" Eunuch Jiang sighed and uttered a single word.
Kongming shook his feather fan, as if he could see through Eunuch Jiang's concerns, and calmly smiled, "Sect Master, it is precisely because of their contempt for the mortal world that we have been given this opportunity!"
Eunuch Jiang gave Kongming a deep look. Despite being a Nascent Soul cultivator, Kongming was still a novice when it came to playing these political games. The cultivation world was all about who had the strongest fist, and there were very few people who were so cunning. This was why he valued Kongming.
"Since you already have a plan, I won't interfere too much. I'll just look at the results! In the next few days, someone will arrange a suitable reason for you to get close to Temujin!"
After saying this, Eunuch Jiang disappeared into the night.
"Brother, I just remembered I have some things to take care of at home, maybe I should go first..."
"Ok?"
Before Zhu Ganglie could finish speaking, Kongming turned around and glared at him.
Pigsy swallowed back the words he was about to say when he was glared at.
"Doesn't Ganglie want to go and take another look at Tie Muzhen's harem?" Kongming shook his feather fan and teased.
"What... what's the point of looking at the harem beauties? Last time, not only did you bleed me dry, but I was also chased down and almost died!"
Zhu Bajie looked terrified, muttering to himself, and turned to look at Zhao Yun beside him with a pleading look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun patted Zhu Ganglie's shoulder and comforted him, "Ganglie, don't be afraid. With me here, I will make sure nothing happens to you. I'm sure the Prime Minister already has a solution in mind!"
Zhu Ganglie curled his lip and said, "This demon still has a way to deal with it. I think you've forgotten the pain of your past mistakes. Didn't you almost die in the Desert of Death too? I, Old Pig, don't want to take any more risks."
Upon hearing this, Kongming used his feather fan to pull Zhu Ganglie's enormous pig head toward him and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that I'll just run away and then the Blood Drop Pavilion won't be able to find me and will use you as a scapegoat?"
Upon hearing this, Pigsy's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he looked both surprised and anxious. He stammered, "Brother, I...I'm a coward, don't scare me! If you run away, the Blood Drop Pavilion will definitely not let me go, you...you can't do this..."
Kongming gently shook his feather fan, a mysterious smile on his face, and said, "So, it's safest for you to stay by my side. Although the Blood Drop Pavilion has promised not to touch the people around me, what can I do if the operation fails and we are forced to run away?"
Zhu Ganglie frowned, pondered for a while with a bitter face, scratched his head and said, "Brother, if you run away, I will definitely run away with you. You are quick-witted, but I don't want to be caught by the Blood Drop Pavilion."
"That's right!" Kongming said with a smile.
Actually, his words weren't just meant to scare Zhu Ganglie; keeping him by his side was the safest course of action.
It will not be long before the world knows that the "Flying Fairy" wine was made by Zhu Bajie, and that the fact that Zhuge Liang was killed by the Sima family is already common knowledge.
Without Zhuge Liang's deterrent, many forces will likely try to find Zhu Bajie, and in the end, it will be this pig who suffers...
Kongming released his flying spirit beast, and the group of four flew rapidly towards the Yuan Dynasty...
