Chapter 1568: What Should We Do?
However, doing so was akin to beating the bush loudly, and Emperor Jing Run would definitely figure out that his conspiracy was discovered.
Of course, they would rather alert Emperor Jing Run than allow this conspiracy to succeed. However, Emperor Jing Run was “fearless” to put it nicely, or “unscrupulous” to put it bluntly. He would never give up or grow afraid just because he failed one time. On the contrary, he would only become crazier and more ruthless. He would come up with an even more evil, inhuman, and terrible plan.
Ye Qing did not doubt this in the slightest because there was a precedent already.
They got lucky this time and accidentally found out about his conspiracy. However, they might not be this lucky the third time or even the next time.
Therefore, they needed a solution that would stop Emperor Jing Run’s madness permanently.
Feng Qingyou immediately guessed his thoughts. “You wish to kill Emperor Jing Run!”
“That would be ideal, but if it isn’t possible, then we at least need to neutralize him in a permanent fashion.”
Killing Emperor Jing Run was of course the best plan. The truly dead could not commit evil after all. But of course, this was also the hardest plan. The tiger might be old, but it was still deadly. Chu might be tethering on the brink of collapse and facing threats both inside and outside their realm, but Emperor Jing Run had not yet reached the end of the line. Therefore, it would not be easy to kill him.
At the very least, they could not do it alone.
If killing Emperor Jing Run was impossible, then they would have to compromise. Permanently cowing him or crippling his ability to commit such atrocities was also an option.
“It will be very difficult to kill Emperor Jing Run.” Feng Qingyou was pondering about the feasibility of the idea as well. “Emperor Jing Run is a Sage to begin with, but he is also the ruler of Chu. In the imperial capital, he would be protected by the Will of the Empire and various powerful restrictions. To kill him, one must possess ultimate treasures of the Human Way such as Hao Tianhong and Xuanyuan Wang, and they must not hold back at all. Otherwise, they must completely surpass Emperor Jing Run in terms of cultivation level and strength. They must be so strong that they could ignore the power of an empire and the will of countless people outright and crush him easily.”
“These are the only two ways to kill Emperor Jing Run for sure. Otherwise, no amount of ordinary Sages could kill Emperor Jing Run in the imperial capital.”
