Chapter 344: The Return of the Giant Bird [Third Update]
"What does that mean?"
Daji asked Cheng Yi, who hastily cupped his fists in salute and said, "To report back to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, a land without a master is akin to a stain for the Sacred Emperor. He must have someone subdue it. With the nine masters of the Demonic Dao and the five heroes of the Righteous Dao being too powerful, favoring either could easily disrupt the balance. Now, Your Majesty has emerged as a dark horse, which, from the perspective of the Sacred Emperor, is a fortunate development."
Upon hearing these words, everyone began to ponder.
Qin Jun did the same.
After careful consideration, it truly made sense. If a clan within a minor city of the Great Qin kingdom were to rise up, implicating the interests of other powers in that city, he wouldn’t care much, let alone take it to heart.
Damn!
It turns out I’ve overestimated myself all along.
After realizing this, Qin Jun felt a pang in his liver. In the eyes of the outside world, Yuan Hong was his strongest subordinate, but Yuan Hong wasn’t even ranked in the top ten of the heavenly list. To maintain the balance between the Righteous and Demonic paths, perhaps the Sacred Emperor might indeed turn a blind eye.
Of course, if the Sacred Emperor were aware of Nezha’s strength, he certainly wouldn’t be able to remain calm.
"In that case, continue to increase the speed and scale of recruitment!" Qin Jun waved his hand. As for the magical artifacts needed within, he didn’t care at all.
The entire leaderless land itself was a goldmine. With each city conquered, the magical artifacts seized were vast. If they were always operating at a loss, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen would probably have sent letters advising him by now.
