Chapter 1264: Automatic Land Seceding

Proofreader: Papatonks

The Sword Emperor gave them a cold glare, Zhao Chen cultivated it and went insane. We all saw how that went. It must be that we struck just as he trained, driving him mad and the cultivation method backlashing. Having others interrupt our cultivation would destroy us as well.

What do you propose, Sword Emperor? Do you plan on killing everyone that knows about it, even Zhuo Fan? The Wraith Emperor added.

The Sword Emperor shook his head, I have no suggestion. Itd be easy to kill Zhuo Fan, but then the Luo clan will know. We can kill the Luo clan, but then the Demonic Emperors lands would be without a head, succumbing to chaos and drawing the Sacred Mountains attention. Furthermore, the Sacred Mountains intend to replace the Eight Emperors. So could we remove them as well? Its more than clear how impossible it is.

Then how should we handle it?

From Zhao Chens cultivation, training in Nether Script has two problems. One is time, needing a long and undisturbed period of cultivation. That means we need to enter seclusion, where no one can find us. Then the second is resources that contradicts the first. We need to find a populated area and that would mean leaving trails that would expose us, just like it did to Zhao Chen.

Should we wage war like Zhao Chen?

The Wraith Emperor proposed, We can fake conflict and use the war to gather materials.

They all nodded.

[Great idea! It had to be a genius who came up with this grand idea. Oh, that was Demonic Emperors aide, Zhuo Fan.]

The Enchanting Empress shook her head, No, while no one else knows, Zhuo Fan will. But like the Sword Emperor said, taking him out will lead to drawing the Sacred Mountains attention. And they warned us not to repeat the past, Zhuo Fan did it because he threatened the 6th Sacred Mountain. We dont have that leverage.

What now?

The Wraith Emperor frowned, This wont do and neither would that. Are we just going to not use this top cultivation method?

The Sword Emperor smiled, Only a fool would do that. It all depends whether you are willing to give up your status.

What do you mean?

Like I said, we need solitude for this art, with only us knowing about it. Even from each other. Everyone is aware of our little tricks. We part today, never to contact each other again, so that we dont frame each other and ruin ourselves.

They all raised an eyebrow, nodding, Alright, then what about materials?

Were Eight Emperors with large domains. We can just take from all of them.

All of them?

The Enchanting Empress shook, With so many people missing, it will catch the attention of the Sacred Mountains.

Zhuo Fan asked, What stage?

Peak Emperors.

Oh, they must be here to replace some of the Eight Emperors. Zhuo Fan guessed, The Sacred Mountains are worried they cant restrain the mortals so they sent three of them from the start. With the Gambling Emperor and Falcon Emperor dead, two spots are vacant. The Demonic Emperor is gone, but no one knows it, while the five remaining Emperors will never come out. That leaves youths taking over the positions.

Humph, we finally got the old fools to shirk their status and now the Sacred Mountains came to spoil it. Ill go take their heads!

Li Jingtian raged and stomped, but Zhuo Fan stopped him, Elder Li, its fine. Theyre nothing but ignorant whelps. A few words from me and they will be in my control. Killing them will ruin things instead.

Uh, really?

Li Jingtian blinked, But Steward Zhuo, those superior Sacred Mountains young masters are so obnoxious in their arrogance. They dont know anything about our world, yet they plan on ruling us. They wont just give their lands to us. Wont it be hard?

Hard? No such thing. Its like taking candy from a baby, ha-ha-ha

Zhuo Fan laughed, You said it yourself, they dont know anything and act arrogant. Then we will stroke their egos, giving them a little something. While the true power will be with the Luo clan, which is seasoned in handling the lands.

The three raised an eyebrow then cracked up

Zhuo Fan went to the Luo clan with Qiu Yanhai to see the young masters.

Entering the main hall, they saw two youths taking the main seats and grimacing at each sip of tea. Another sat below, dangling his legs in boredom.

[Entitled pricks at their finest. They take the main seat in anothers house and ignore everyone.]

Zhuo Fan restrained a smile, bowing, Oh, guests from the Sacred Mountains, forgive my delay!

Do you have any idea how long weve waited? Youre too damn slow! The youth in the main seat sneered.

Zhuo Fan nodded, Its my mistake. It is my fault for being born with only two legs and unable to greet you on time.

Ha-ha-ha, elder brother, hear that? Can you imagine a person with four legs? That was hilarious!

The man in the main seat cracked up with the others joining him.

The tense mood was gone in a blink.

Luo Yunchang and the girls listened in from outside and giggled, The Sacred Mountains sent paupers for the Eight Emperors. Zhuo Fan was clearly sarcastic, yet they laughed. The scorn flew right over them.

By sending these fools to be Eight Emperors, the Sacred Mountains show their utter disregard for human lives beneath their feet. And they expect them to control the Sacred Domain? Murong Xue lamented over the peoples fate, being at the mercy of fools
