Chapter 1957 - 1961: South State Transmission Array
Chapter 1957 - 1961: South State Transmission Array
Qin Tian’s memorial was secretly delivered to the Imperial City.
The Fourth Prince held the reins of the government, so he naturally knew about this memorial.
However, before the Fourth Prince took a look, the Ice Emperor and the State Preceptor had already reviewed it.
Over there in the Imperial City, they discussed the matter concerning Li Muyang continuously for three days.
Both the Fourth Prince and the War God naturally advocated on behalf of Li Muyang.
However, the Ice Emperor and the State Preceptor insisted on ruling the country according to law, demanding to apprehend Li Muyang and determine his guilt.
At this moment, upon learning of the news, Qin Tian in West State, following Zhou Yang’s suggestion, submitted another memorial, beseeching the Ice Emperor to uphold the law strictly, and hinting that if the Ice Emperor agreed, West State could enforce the law and capture Li Muyang.
This memorial seemed ordinary, but in reality, it was Qin Tian threatening the Ice Emperor—
If you don’t punish Li Muyang, then my West State will attack North State, and by then, North State will be mine!
Sure enough, after reading the memorial, the Ice Emperor immediately made the excuse that Lord Qin, Qin Tian, was aggressive and that Li Muyang committed a crime first and must be severely punished; thus, he sent people to North State to capture Li Muyang.
Li Muyang, having several hundred families in the Imperial City, dared not escape, and after seeking help from the War God and the Fourth Prince to no avail, could only sit idle, resigned to his fate.
The Fourth Prince and the War God, seeing the dice already cast, also realized that the Ice Emperor intended to weaken their forces, and thus chose to sacrifice their pawn to save the chariot, ceasing their struggle.
Eventually, Li Muyang was escorted back to the Imperial City and executed in public.
Subsequently, the Ice Emperor immediately dispatched a trusted General to replace Li Muyang as the new Governor of North State.
In this open and covert struggle, the Ice Emperor was the biggest winner, and Qin Tian gained a small victory, while the Fourth Prince and the War God suffered a heavy loss.
Suddenly, the situation in the Tianyuan Dynasty became clear.
On the surface, the Fourth Prince was stationed in the Imperial City, unrivaled by anyone.
While Lord Qin, Qin Tian, dominated West State, disobeying orders from the outside.
As for the Ice Emperor, he retreated behind the scenes, balancing the world, seemingly holding a stable position.
Qin Tian knew that all of these were mere illusions.
Since returning from the Imperial City the last time, he knew that undercurrents were surging far more complex than he imagined.
Especially after several communications with Gongsun Sanniang, he could firmly conclude that movements might emerge from the Fourteenth Prince’s side.
As for who the Fourteenth Prince intends to target, currently Qin Tian and Gongsun Sanniang are both unaware; his actions are too concealed.
As the situation stabilized, Qin Tian had just seized West State not long ago. To prevent West State from being found an opportunity by the War God like last time, he instructed Xu Kuan and Che Aijun to vigorously build defensive structures at Yueya City.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yang recruited troops extensively and hastened the production of new True Qi Cannons.
While Lin Yu and Duan Xiaodao further trained the army, especially Duan Xiaodao, who transformed the expanding Qin Family army into an elite force.
Xiao Zhuang was responsible for gathering intelligence, and Zuo Yuanhao strategized and responded to the situation.
Currently, Qin Tian had organized his brothers and subordinates meticulously.
He was looking for opportunities, as long as the West State army grew stronger, any changes in the Imperial City would prepare Qin Tian to further consolidate his power.
However, for the moment, he chose to bide his time, observing the Imperial City calmly.
"Qin Tian, we’ve found a transmission array, but it’s in South State, it should be able to transport us back to Earth."
That day, Murong Fei, Fan Bing, and several others came to Qin Tian’s study with joyful spirits.
Standing before him were Murong Fei, Fan Bing, Du Qiuniang, Qiao Wenxuan, and Yin Susu, each a stunning beauty, unique in their own ways. Seeing them enter the room, Qin Tian’s mood instantly turned good.
"If we can go back to Earth, I want to visit my parents." Fan Bing said excitedly, "I wonder how they’re doing."
"I want to visit too." Du Qiuniang said, "Lu Qing, I haven’t seen him for a long time, and my senior brother and Tang Wan, I wonder how they’re doing on Earth."
Qiao Wenxuan and Yin Susu exchanged glanced, Qiao Wenxuan said: "I’ve heard that Earth is your homeland, and hearing Ice Sister speak, it seems particularly interesting, I want to see it too."
Yin Susu said: "Yes, we’re idle anyway, going to Earth for a look is also good."
Qin Tian gazed at his women, taking a deep breath.
If these women return to Earth, wouldn’t they sweep across the world?
Especially Murong Fei, Du Qiuniang, and Yin Susu, all three of them were considered experts in the Spiritual Domain, reaching Earth... they would be like a cheat code!
"Alright, if you all wish to go, then take a trip, check in on Sister Qing, Lin Zitong, and Wan’er for me, and while you’re at it, give them the Immortal Pill."
Eager to return, Qin Tian did not prevent them, handing out his Immortal Pills.
Twelve pills, Qin Tian planned to give one each to Lu Qing, Tang Wan, Lin Zitong, Jin Xing, Yu Linglong, Cao Guojun, Fan Lao, Fan Bing’s parents, Liu Fei’er’s mother Wang Han, and his apprentice Zhang Runhao on Earth, totaling eleven pills.
"Who gets the remaining pill?"
Murong Fei asked Qin Tian.
Qin Tian thought for a moment, recalling an old acquaintance on Earth, and said: "Give it to her, give it to Meng Yao, that beautiful police officer."
"I understand..." Murong Fei responded with a playful glance, saying: "I also know you two share a colorful history... Qin Tian, you’re truly a nostalgic man, how about I bring her over to the Spiritual Domain for you?"
Qin Tian was speechless immediately, his contact with Meng Yao had ceased for a long time, they were reduced to friends who hadn’t met for ages; he just suddenly remembered her, remembering when he first arrived in the city, this busty police officer had given him several useful lessons.
Of course, Qin Tian understood that Murong Fei was joking; without cultivation or Spirit Root, coming to the Spiritual Domain felt impossible as of now.
"You go back, have fun, enjoy yourselves."
Qin Tian chuckled, subsequently deciding to personally escort them to the transmission array in South State.
Qin Tian took Duan Xiaodao and, along with Murong Fei and the others, appeared in the southern part of South State at a desolate mountain two days later, where within the deep space tunnel of the desolate mountain, was the transmission array.
The women bid farewell to Qin Tian one by one and entered the transmission array.
Murong Fei walked last, looking at Qin Tian burdened with thoughts, said: "Qin Tian, why don’t you come back with us?"
Qin Tian sighed with a bitter smile, he had considered it, but now, if he left, West State would certainly be finished.
"No, not now at least, there will definitely be a chance in the future."
Maintaining his smile, Qin Tian said: "Someday, I will cultivate to the strongest degree, strong enough to defy the heavens, strong enough to bring those without cultivation to the Spiritual Domain. I will strive for it!"
Saying so, Qin Tian stepped forward, embraced Murong Fei, kissed her lightly, and looking at her, said: "Murong, convey my message to Sister Qing upon return, just say... I missed her."
