"Wang Jiujiu" was the ninety-ninth son of "Wang Gebi."
At best, he was a "minor prince," not qualified to be called "Crown Prince"!
But "Mr. Liusheng" had a keen eye; a mere glance and he understood everything.
"Wang Jiujiu" was ambitious!
Extremely ambitious!
This child intended to contend for the "Throne of Great New"!
"Mr. Liusheng" inwardly mocked "Wang Jiujiu" for his overestimation of his own abilities, yet outwardly addressed "Wang Jiujiu" as "Crown Prince Jiujiu."
This tactic was incredibly effective!
"Wang Jiujiu" was overjoyed on the spot.
"Heh, Mr. Liusheng, you flatter me. How could I possibly be qualified to be called Crown Prince..."
"Crown Prince Jiujiu is too modest! You are a genius favored by heaven, unparalleled in talent, a born emperor. If you are not qualified to be called Crown Prince, then no one under heaven is!"
"Mr. Liusheng" himself felt sick of uttering such sycophantic flattery.
But "Wang Jiujiu" listened with immense pleasure!
"Not at all, Mr. Liusheng, you praise me too highly... Heh heh, heh heh heh..."
Watching "Wang Jiujiu's" face beam like a "little daisy," "Mr. Liusheng's" contempt grew even deeper.
"Mr. Liusheng" spoke.
"Crown Prince Jiujiu, the matter of constructing a statue of merit requires further deliberation... Regarding the alliance between the Three Immortals Sword Sect and the Great New Dynasty, there is significant resistance, primarily because the Penglai Sword Sect is unwilling to yield!"
"Mr. Liusheng" observed "Wang Jiujiu's" reaction as he spoke.
As expected, "Wang Jiujiu's" expression changed drastically upon hearing this, turning quite grim.
"The Penglai Sword Sect is truly despicable! Their alliance with our Great New Dynasty would bring nothing but benefit. Why do they refuse? On what grounds do they refuse?"
Idiot!
"Mr. Liusheng" cursed inwardly, his disdain and contempt for "Wang Jiujiu" intensifying.
Nothing but benefit?
That's for your "Great New Dynasty," isn't it!
Furthermore, the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" has always been united. To openly curse the "Penglai Sword Sect" in front of "Mr. Liusheng," did "Wang Jiujiu" not understand the principle of "shared glory and shared ruin"?
This had offended "Mr. Liusheng" as well.
Of course, "Mr. Liusheng" was not angry at all.
This was precisely the reaction he wanted from "Wang Jiujiu."
If "Wang Jiujiu" didn't harbor animosity towards the "Penglai Sword Sect," then the plan of "Prince Neon" would be difficult to implement.
"Mr. Liusheng" had come to the "Great New Treasure Ship" to find "Wang Jiujiu," not for tea and idle chat. He bore a very important mission.
In the "Penglai Sword Sect," "Son of Emptiness" was the undisputed "top seed candidate for Saint Son," and had even pre-emptively secured the "Penglai Sword Sect Saint Son" position, with no one to rival him!
And in the "Yingzhou Sword Sect," there was also a "top seed candidate for Saint Son," namely "Prince Neon."
Unlike "Son of Emptiness," "Prince Neon" possessed exceptional talent and diligently cultivated himself, making him a first-class individual in both strength and strategy.
His becoming the "top seed candidate for Saint Son" was well-deserved, achieved without relying on any external patronage.
Moreover, "Prince Neon" had gathered a large contingent of "loyal ministers and fierce generals" who worked tirelessly on his behalf.
"Mr. Liusheng" was among the most outstanding of them.
This time, "Mr. Liusheng" had come to see "Wang Jiujiu" for "Prince Neon's" plan.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
"Crown Prince Jiujiu, please remain calm. The Penglai Sword Sect is short-sighted. My Young Master also feels injustice for you and has decided to help you resolve this troublesome issue!"
Upon hearing this, "Wang Jiujiu" was immediately overjoyed.
"Oh, what brilliant plan does Young Master Neon have?"
Mutual politeness was expected.
"Mr. Liusheng" addressed "Wang Jiujiu" as "Crown Prince Jiujiu."
"Wang Jiujiu" reciprocated by calling "Prince Neon" "Young Master Neon."
"Prince Neon" did not have an all-powerful father in the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" and was not qualified to be called "Young Master" in advance.
However, "Mr. Liusheng" quite enjoyed this appellation and accepted it on behalf of "Prince Neon."
"Mr. Liusheng" chuckled and spoke.
"Crown Prince Jiujiu, we may not be able to resolve the problem of the Penglai Sword Sect currently, but we can resolve the person who creates the problem!"
Resolve the person who creates the problem?
"Wang Jiujiu" was initially delighted, then startled, his face showing a look of horror.
"What? Does Young Master Neon mean... to kill the Sect Master of the Penglai Sword Sect?"
Since the Sect Master of the Penglai Sword Sect refused to ally with the Great New Dynasty, then kill him, and no one would oppose the alliance anymore!
This was resolving the person who created the problem!
Mr. Liusheng
(￣ェ￣；)
Utterly speechless!
He truly wanted to slap "Wang Jiujiu" across the face to wake him up.
What was he thinking?
In broad daylight, was he dreaming?
The current Sect Master of the Penglai Sword Sect was "Sword Immortal Yu Hua," a cultivator of profound Dao, immensely powerful, a "Nascent Soul Ancestor."
Setting aside whether they had the strength to defeat "Sword Immortal Yu Hua."
Even if they could kill "Sword Immortal Yu Hua," were they sure it would lead to the "Penglai Sword Sect" and the "Great New Dynasty" forming an alliance?
Nonsense!
The entire cultivation force of the "Penglai Sword Sect" would know that the "Great New Dynasty" had murdered their Sect Master, and they would all go berserk.
Alliance? What alliance!
The "Penglai Sword Sect" would spare no expense, launching the most frenzied attack against the "Great New Dynasty."
Not only the "Great New Dynasty," but the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" would also suffer misfortune!
"Mr. Liusheng" was utterly exasperated, unsure of the "peculiar structure" of "Wang Jiujiu's" brain that could utter such idiotic words.
Truly a "great idiot"!
"Mr. Liusheng" barely suppressed the urge to curse "Wang Jiujiu," steadied his mind, and spoke with deliberate calmness.
"Harm-ing the Sect Master of a sword sect is too outrageous. Crown Prince Jiujiu, please refrain from making such jokes in the future!"
"Wang Jiujiu" also realized he had been foolish, and he chuckled sheepishly, changing the subject.
"Then, what plan does Young Master Neon actually have?"
"Mr. Liusheng" no longer held back, and laid out the entire plan to "Wang Jiujiu."
"The grand ceremony for the Three Immortals' Ascension is imminent. Soon, the Penglai Sword Sect will select its true Saint Son. The Saint Son is the future successor of the sect. As long as the Saint Son agrees, the alliance with the Great New Dynasty will be a sure thing, with absolutely no issues!"
"Wang Jiujiu" raised a question.
"From what I know, the next Saint Son candidate for the Penglai Sword Sect has already been internally decided as Son of Emptiness. Son of Emptiness is the biological son of Sword Immortal Yu Hua. Would he agree to an alliance?"
