Chapter 106: He’s Unworthy!

Ever since learning about the Blood Spirit Cults existence, Fang Chen had a list of suspects in mind whom he thought was colluding with them. Xia Yu was on the list.

Li Huafeng had made a sudden recovery and achieved a breakthrough to Ki Control thanks to Xia Yus pill, but this beckoned the question: where did Xia Yu obtain this pill from?

Ordinary pills wouldnt have worked on Li Huafengs injuries.

The answer was clear.

Both Vice Minister Qin and Enforcement Envoy Liu had been acting under Xia Yus orders.

Xia Yu might not know what the Blood Spirit Cult was doing in Great Xia, but he must have known that those cultivators were killing innocent civilians and absorbing their blood essence to further their cultivation. Yet, he tolerated it because he was attracted to their means.

It was not without reason that Chillwaters Ji Clan worshiped a cultivator. How could Xia Yu resist the temptation?

After having their fill of drinks and food, the crowd gathered in the crown princes manor took their leave, but Tao Yu, Ye Qinghe, and Li Huafeng stayed behind.

Do you know why Im troubled? Xia Yu asked.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

The three of them shook their heads with perplexed looks.

Have you heard of entities in this world who possess astonishing means that surpass our wildest imagination? Xia Yu said.

Your Highness, are you talking about immortal cultivators? Tao Yu asked. I heard those entities can only be found in remote places or powerful states. They are too proud to reveal themselves even if they passed by Great Xia, and ordinary mortals wouldnt be able to see through them either.

Immortal cultivators? Thats too far-fetched. I bet its a lie weaved by powerful states to intimidate their vassals! Li Huafeng remarked.

Ye Qinghe held his tongue, choosing to patiently wait for Xia Yu to carry on.

Immortal cultivators exist in this world. Chillwaters Ji Clan worships a cultivator, and thats how they rose to greatness, Xia Yu replied. Grade-6 states are strong because they are backed by cultivators. Thats the reason behind the huge disparity between grade-6 and grade-7 states.

What arrogant words! Li Huafeng frowned.

You are saying that because you have never witnessed their means. There is credence to their words. I dare not demand too much. I can only leave it to fate. All I want now is to strengthen Great Xia through their hands, so that we wont have to be humiliated by the likes of Greenpine. Hopefully, we can stand on equal terms with Chillwater in the future! Xia Yu declared proudly.

The other three men were awed by Xia Yus ambition. Standing on equal terms as Chillwater? That would be a tremendous feat that no other Great Xia emperor has achieved.

I was planning to slowly bulk up Great Xia, in hopes that a day comes where my dream can be fulfilled. However, the appearance of a cultivator in the Fang Manor has messed up my plan. They are an impediment in my path. How do you think I should deal with this? Xia Yu asked.

He wouldnt have lost himself if the cultivator had chosen to side with anyone else in Great Xia, but he absolutely wouldnt permit a cultivator siding with Fang Chen. The latter was his greatest inner demon. Only by eliminating Fang Chen and his Third Brother could he devote himself to becoming a good emperor for Great Xia!

Your Highness, you need not be troubled over this, Li Huafeng said. You mentioned earlier that the Ji Clan has a cultivator too. I doubt the Fang Manors cultivator will be able to suppress the Ji Clans cultivator. Fang Chen and Ji Lengyue are likely participating in the military exercise. If so, I bet that Ji Lengyue wont allow Fang Chen to return alive.

What if the Fang Manors cultivator goes on a rampage? Xia Yu frowned. We dont know the cultivators background. This could have an adverse effect on Great Xia.

Your Highness, it should be fine. You can convince the cultivators youre worshiping to eliminate him. If anything happens, you can frame it on Chillwaters Ji Clan, Li Huafeng said with a sinister smile. Not only will we be able to take down Fang Chen, but Chillwater will have their hands full to keep an eye on us. Our Great Xia will be able to develop without any worries.

Xia Yus complexion slowly recovered. He had instinctively avoided scheming against cultivators because he understood and feared their means, which was why Li Daoyes existence frustrated him to no end.

However, Li Huafengs advice told him that it was possible to scheme against cultivators too, and he could reap many benefits from it too.

The cultivators I am worshiping haven't returned yet, and Im not sure when theyll be back. However, they left me with an item and told me that even cultivators will die if they consume it. Xia Yus lips crept up. Help me poison the Fang Manors cultivator during the military exercise. Well frame it on Chillwater.

Fang Chen shook his head. He didnt bother listening on. His soul departed from the crown princes manor and returned to his body.

Its meaningless to continue listening to him. Xia Yu doesn't know that Zhou Yizeng and the others are dead, and I am aware of his intention to kill Li Daoye and frame it on Chillwater now. They wont have a chance to pull it off.

Chener, the Old Master is calling you over.

Shortly after Fang Chens soul returned, he heard Fang Cangyous voice from the doorway.
