Chapter 1374: Let’s Rob It All
“Oh right, I almost forgot. Thank you for assisting me in settling Chief Fang and the others in,” Ye Qing offered Feng Qingyou his thanks.
By now, Ye Qing had figured out why Feng Qingyou had specifically asked him to bring his friends to this place.
Feng Qingyou was very close to Lady Canglang, and Canglang City was Lady Canglang’s domain. With her protection, his Pacification Bureau friends did not need to worry about their safety too much. They would remain safe even after they screwed over Emperor Jing Run and pissed him off massively. When the guy tried to vent on his friends, he would see Lady Canglang standing in his way and be forced to think twice.
“It is only right. After all, they will most likely become part of the consequences of our future actions. It is only right that we shield them from the harm as much as possible, ” answered Feng Qingyou while lying lazily on the table and playing with her wine cup.
“So, when are we departing for Chu?”
He didn’t ask if Feng Qingyou had successfully leaked the news to Clear Sky Palace, Earthly Sovereign Hall and Human Sovereign Mountain. He had at least that much confidence in her abilities. Besides, she would not have invited him to a leisurely drink if she did fail.
“The day after tomorrow. It is not yet the right time.”
Feng Qingyou replied lazily, “Emperor Jing Run has just obtained the Earthly Sovereign Bell. Even if the devouring and refining process has already begun, it is not yet at a point where he couldn’t forcefully stop it. This means he still has an out.”
“If the Clear Sky Palace, Earthly Sovereign Hall, and Human Sovereign Mountain were to challenge Emperor Jing Run now, it is very possible he would choose to surrender the Earthly Sovereign Bell to them to save himself. So long as there is still a lush mountain, there will be wood to burn, amirite?”
“On the other hand, if the devouring and refining process has reached a critical point, if the connection between the Earthly Sovereign Bell and Heavens’ Eye has become too strong to sever, then Emperor Jing Run no longer has the option of surrender. He would definitely fight the three sects to the death to ensure the completion of his plans. This is the best way to ensure that neither side wins in the end.”
Ye Qing frowned. “But if the Earthly Sovereign Bell and Heavens’ Eye becomes inseparable, then how can we reclaim the Earthly Sovereign Bell?”
“Easy. We take the Heavens’ Eye too!” Feng Qingyou answered matter-of-factly.
