Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, and after he was done, he immediately started clapping for himself.

Beside him, Chen Weiran saw him clapping, and he too smiled with satisfaction and continued clapping.

The Defense Department Director and the City Lord of the Imperial Decree Department were a bit hesitant. While clapping, the Director of the Defense Department tried to say:

"I heard that Yuchi has very good relations with numerous sects, and although the Sect Leaders of two major sects were wiped out earlier, there is no direct evidence proving it was Yuchi who did it, but it definitely has something to do with him! So should we really come into conflict with him?"

The City Lord, upon hearing this, weakly said, "Yes, Yuchi’s reputation in Jiangnan is very high now. If we engage in our usual smear tactics, it could provoke a great backlash, at which point he might turn the tables and directly say that we in Jiangzhou City are secretly doing mischief, which would greatly accelerate the disintegration of Jiangzhou City."

After the Defense Department and Imperial Decree Department were done, they exchanged glances, feeling somewhat relieved.

At least there are still people with clear vision.

But Chen Weiran was not pleased:

"Let me be honest, the downfall of those two sects is indeed related to Yuchi. He previously asked me how to get in touch with the Cloud Descending Sect, and I took him to find the envoy of the Cloud Descending Sect!"

"At that time, the envoy of the Cloud Descending Sect even gave me a couple of extra glances, and his look was full of incredulity. I originally didn’t know what this look meant!"

"But now I understand!"

"Yuchi was planning to eliminate both sects entirely!"

"He might have emptied all his gold and silver to accomplish this! That’s why he could rely only on the Cloud Descending Sect!"

"After the Cloud Descending Sect did this, he was bluffing, making it seem like he had some kind of powerful background, pretending that he’d contacted some cultivators to help him wipe out the two sects, leaving the other sect leaders fear-stricken!"

"Haha, he thought he could fool everyone, but he was mistaken. Who is Chen Weiran?"

"I am the Director of the Celestial Capital Department, how could I be easily deceived by him?"

"Impossible!"

"Thus, I understood Yuchi’s plan over the past six months!"

"He simply pulled out a lot of money and let the Cloud Descending Sect help him do the work!"

"And he took credit for what the Cloud Descending Sect accomplished, finally deceiving everyone around Jiangzhou City in one fell swoop!"

After Chen Weiran finished speaking, he confidently took a sip of tea.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang clapped even more fervently, as if sparks flew from his hands, and he resolutely said:

"Worthy of being the Director of the Celestial Capital Department, speaking with such sense, clearly seeing through Yuchi’s schemes!"

"Frankly, without the guidance of Lord Chen, we all would have been trapped in Yuchi’s maze, unable to find a way out!"

"So this Yuchi is really a bad guy!"

"We cannot let such a villain gain control over Jiangnan; otherwise, the common people there will certainly suffer greatly. For the future of the people, and for their peace and prosperity, we must deal with Yuchi to prevent such adverse events from occurring!"

The Defense Department Director and the City Lord were now completely perplexed.

Not to mention that what Chen Weiran and Yuan Tiangang said seemed flawless, after all, Yuchi previously appeared ordinary, and if he truly had any power, there would be no need to maintain good relations with them?

So it seems Yuchi just came into some money, leveraging the Cloud Descending Sect to do such things, thinking about it, it does seem somewhat cunning?

He actually took the Cloud Descending Sect as his imaginary backing, leading other cultivators to be fooled by him.

Yet even if Chen Weiran and Yuan Tiangang already said this much, the Director of Defense Department and City Lord were still a bit flustered:

"Better safe than sorry. Should we first probe whether Yuchi really has such power? Lest he truly has it, and we misjudge!"

"So, should we not devise a plan to test him first, at least not rush full force at the start. If we strike in vain, what then?"

"We might have nowhere to hide!"

The fact proved cowardice has its uses; the City Lord’s words now turned out to be the clearest among everyone present, clearer than any cultivator.

Chen Weiran was displeased, thinking to himself that after explaining so thoroughly, you’re still suggesting to probe?

What is there to test?

Chen Weiran felt like giving the City Lord a slap across his old face but thought better of it, realizing not everyone is as intelligent as himself.

He simply said, "Alright, alright, look at you acting like timid mice, lacking any drive typical of influential figures."

"Fine, since Yuchi is in Jiangnan, why not invite him to Jiangzhou City for a meal?"
