Yinshan Record

Chapter 448 A chilling murderous intent reveals the true nature of the scheme (Part 1)

"Brother Liu has quite a few secrets."

Young Master Lin spoke with a double meaning. He picked up a bronze wine cup from the table beside him, looked at the demon corpses scattered on the ground, and glanced at King Black Wind with disdain.

"There are some things I cannot say more about."

Su Che said softly.

“If you trust me, then you must trust him.”

Siksananda smiled gently, her beautiful eyes gazing at Liu Yidao beside her. This ideal man had already convinced her, and the Yaksha prince was naturally happy to use his family's name to endorse Liu Yidao.

"Then we'll see tomorrow."

Dushan Jun looked solemn as he gently raised his wine cup and clinked it against Siksananda's from afar.

“How wondrous is this World Honored One! If the true Dharma can be transmitted eastward to the Central Plains, it will be the greatest joy for the benefit of all beings in this world. Let us drink a cup of wine.”

Su Che also raised his glass, his eyes meeting those of the old ox.

The matter is settled.

Time flies, and Su Che's plan proceeded slowly, like unraveling a mystery. Meanwhile, Yu Chen, having spent the night in arduous cultivation, gradually dissipated his aura and slowly stood up.

Inside the Shanyin County government office, a clean room was specially prepared for the Jade Alliance Leader for his cultivation. Born in the White Deer Cave, his cultivation, imbued with righteousness and brilliance, had long since reached a high level, thanks to his tireless and diligent practice.

To reach an extremely high level of cultivation, disciples of the White Deer Cave need to expend a great deal of hard work, aside from natural talent.

When exceptional talent meets genuine, hard work, the combination of the two is what creates the Yu Chen we know today.

"Alliance leader."

"You came."

As is customary, Leng Ancheng, one of the four elders of the Great River Alliance, was already standing outside the training room, waiting for Yu Chen's summons.

The ten years that Yu Chen managed the Great River Alliance were also Leng Ancheng's most glorious ten years. This rogue cultivator who had recently become a core member of Yu Chen's inner circle had long since become Yu Chen's henchman.

It was Yu Chen who transformed the Great River Alliance from a dispensable ally that merely monitored the Canglang River into a behemoth that now dominates the region.

As long as the current battle continues, Leng Ancheng believes that with the support of Bailudong, the future of the Great River Alliance will be even more limitless.

Know your own affairs.

Leng Ancheng knew very well that with his talent, reaching the Core Formation stage had almost exhausted all his potential.

There was no way forward, but if the Great River Alliance successfully changed dynasties, he would be a meritorious official, and meritorious officials would naturally be the most likely to ascend to the divine path.

Isn't the current Du Chenghuang of Jiankang City in Daliang the meritorious official who helped found the country back then?

If the Great River Alliance succeeds, the reward awaiting Leng Ancheng will be far more than just worldly riches.

“Last night, the man surnamed Liu paid a visit to Elder Yue, and then Shichananda and the three demons of Xuanshan held a grand banquet, which has continued until now.”

Leng Ancheng was Yu Chen's eyes, and the iron crows he tamed were his best spies.

"As for the two people from the East China Sea, they went into the mountains and didn't return until midnight."

Yu Chen slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Listening to Leng Ancheng's report on the previous day's intelligence every morning was a habit he had cultivated for many years. Yu Chen believed that the success of many things in this world had nothing to do with the level of one's cultivation. Even at the Earth Immortal level, it was impossible to have everything go as one wished.

But if you put in enough effort, even if you can't accomplish something, you can still achieve eight or nine out of ten results.

What do you think of them?

"Alliance Leader, these two are also problematic. We used to use them when we suspected them, but now we can completely kick these unstable elements out..."

"Ugh……"

Yu Chen slowly waved his hand: "You're oversimplifying things."

"What we want to seize is the world, what we want to change is the way of the world. The more we want to do this, the more we must embrace all rivers. Don't think that having Bailudong behind us makes us invincible. The more we think this way, the faster we will perish. There is more than just Bailudong in the world. There is also Yuyang Mountain, Qingxu Mountain, and Sanmao Mountain. Even if we have Bailudong and the entire Confucian school of the world behind us, can we destroy them all?"

Yu Chen shook his head: "I told you long ago that you should read more history books. Look at those emperors of the past. Which of the founding fathers who established a dynasty could guarantee that all their subordinates were their own people? Didn't they all have to recruit and accept those who surrendered and betrayed them, absorbing all the forces willing to support them? It was only after the dynasty was established and the political situation was stable that they began to purge them. So the more humble a person's background, the more ruthless they tend to be in killing their meritorious officials. But if you think carefully about where these meritorious officials came from, you'll understand."

"If we can recruit the heroes of the world to work for us, our efforts will be twice as effective. However, we can eliminate them all after the world is settled and the situation is stable."

Leng Ancheng listened silently, and he couldn't help but think that the Taiping Zhenjun Li Hong of today seemed to be a puppet figure pushed out by Yu Chen.

Could such a person truly become the founding emperor of a dynasty? And what would he do once Yu Chen succeeds? If one carefully examines historical records, it is clear that all the founding emperors rose from humble beginnings as cultivators, with some even reaching the level of attaining immortality.

What kind of world does Yu Chen envision for himself in the future?
"An Cheng?"

Yu Chen's greeting brought Leng Ancheng back from his reverie. He felt ashamed and thought to himself that it was really unreasonable for someone as skilled as him, who had already refined the Elixir of Immortality, to be so absent-minded.

"what happened?"

"Alliance Leader, I wonder who this True Monarch Li Hong will be in the future..."

“Naturally, I will become his true ruler.”

Yu Chen reached out and gently patted Leng Ancheng's shoulder: "Just watch, we will create a world unlike any other. Not only will the North and South be reunited, but even rogue cultivators and ordinary people will find a path to advancement in this new world."

His words exuded confidence.

Yu Chen believed that everything he had witnessed in Bailudong would gradually evolve into the most beautiful future in the world.

Even the lofty Xuandu Palace would likely not reject such a future.

"Master Zhong will arrive in Shanyin County tonight. We need to make careful preparations for his arrival."

Yu Chen muttered to himself.

Zhongjia has not been elected as the head of the sect for many years, so his temperament is inevitably a bit extreme. Yu Chen does not want to provoke the senior members of the sect.

This is not to say that Zhongjia has any shortcomings in character; it's just that Yu Chen's personality is like that. He has always been so tactful and perfect in every detail.

Even when dealing with a low-level bandit like Liu Yidao, Yu Chen was still able to be polite and courteous; this was simply his way of dealing with people.

He was extremely accommodating and courteous to the point of being almost obsequious.

Just as Yu Chen was making the arrangements, someone outside came to announce his arrival.

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, the two gentlemen from the East Sea have brought another fellow Daoist with them, who is waiting for your summons outside the yamen."
