A man who is not content is like a snake that swallows an elephant.
The Diagram of Mountains and Rivers was incomparably precious. Not to mention the high-grade sword techniques contained in it, just the artistic conception contained in the mountains and rivers inside was endlessly beneficial.
Back then, the four top factions had paid a considerable price to obtain the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers. In the end, they sparred before dividing the diagrams.
The fact that the Monarch Mountain could obtain a diagram was because Seeping River Academy had held back due to the situation in the world. Now, they actually wanted a second painting.
Putting aside whether the two Palace Masters of Seeping River Academy and the other Immortal Realm experts would agree, even they would not agree. After all, Monarch Mountain had a fundamental conflict with the four top factions.
“What does Emperor Yu mean?” the Cliffmaster said coldly. The Sword Master frowned as well. At this juncture, Emperor Yu’s sudden increase in conditions really made him unhappy.
Emperor Yu laughed. “Naturally, I want the two of you to help me put pressure on Seeping River Academy to hand over a diagram of the mountains and rivers. They indeed have too many, a total of five. Your two forces, together with my Monarch Mountain, will definitely be able to make Seeping River Academy hand over three diagrams. This way, we can obtain a diagram!”
It was a good plan. Unfortunately, none of the people present were stupid. Emperor Yu seemed to want to obtain a diagram, but in fact, his deeper goal was to rope in and divide the four top factions.
Whether it was the Seeping River Academy, the Heavenly Sound Temple, the Sword Whisper Tower, or the Sea Moon Cliff, every inheritance had a deep foundation. No matter how strong Monarch Mountain was, they would not dare to rashly attack one of the factions because the other factions would definitely not sit back and do nothing.
But if they had a grudge against each other and turned against each other, the Monarch Mountain could attack them one by one. In the end, they would eliminate the four major powers in one fell swoop.
The Cliffmaster snorted. “Emperor Yu, you’d better stop scheming. There’s no need to beat around the bush. It’s impossible for you to use us to weaken the Seeping River Academy. Also, don’t forget that the diagram of the mountains and rivers on Monarch Mountain is from the academy. There must be a rubbing in the academy.”
The smile on Emperor Yu’s face faded. “The rubbing is useless.”
“It is useless. But that’s only for ordinary people like us. Since the Marquis of Zhenbei can comprehend a high-grade sword technique from the Mountain and River Diagram, he should be able to see something from the rubbing. If that happens, this diagram of your Monarch Mountain will be useless!”
The Cliffmaster narrowed his eyes. “Moreover, with just one diagram, your Monarch Mountain can view the four diagrams of the Sea Moon Cliff and the Sword Whisper Tower. It’s very worth it. Why? Do you want something else?”
Emperor Yu looked at Shen Ping. “The Marquis of Zhenbei is a member of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty, not a member of the Sword Whisper Tower or the Sea Moon Cliff! Marquis of Zhenbei, no matter how many benefits they give you, my Monarch Mountain can double them.”
Shen Ping did not say anything. Instead, he watched them argue with interest. The young Sword Master said, “Emperor Yu, Marquis Zhenbei is also a member of our Sword Gathering Tower… Sword Saint Taixuan is also Marquis Zhenbei’s wife. Even if you lower the princess of the Imperial Capital, it’s still inferior to the sword seed of our Sword Gathering Tower!”
Sword energy soared into the sky from the entire Monarch Mountain. The auras of the three Immortal Realm experts rose. For a moment, their divine might was like a prison. A terrifying pressure spread, pressing down on all the members of the royal family of Monarch Mountain until they knelt on the ground. Cold sweat broke out on their faces.
Suddenly, Emperor Yu laughed, “Cliffmaster Chou, Sword Master Yin, I’m just joking with you. Tomorrow, tomorrow, we’ll take a look at the diagram of my Monarch Mountain!”
The Sword Master and the Cliffmaster secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If they really fought, the two of them were not afraid of Emperor Yu, but this was the territory of Monarch Mountain after all. They were worried that the Marquis of Zhenbei would be detained. Now, he was the key.
However, the two of them knew very well that even though Emperor Yu took the first step back, the conditions he proposed were definitely after careful consideration.
…
Late at night, Emperor Yu and the other three elders of the royal family were talking in a forbidden area of Monarch Mountain.
“The Sword Whisper Tower and the Sea Moon Cliff won’t relent. Although the four forces often don’t like each other and the disciples compete and interact, they have always been helping each other, making my Monarch Mountain unable to take action. The incident at the Heavenly Sound Temple back then was originally an excellent opportunity, but unfortunately, it was interfered with by Seeping River Academy in the end!”
“That’s right. Seeping River Academy looks like it doesn’t fight, but in fact, it’s the biggest cancer of our Yuhua Shen Dynasty. All the swordsmen in the world only know about the Seeping River Academy and don’t acknowledge our Yuhua Shen Dynasty!”
“It’s not without reason that the four great factions have been standing tall despite the change of the dynasty. In my opinion, this matter still needs to be discussed at length.”
Emperor Yu listened to the elders’ discussion and slowly said, “The four major forces are not the most important. The faction that controls the world is the source. Without their tacit approval, how could the four major forces exist until now? From the information I received, other than the diagrams of the mountains and rivers of my Monarch Mountain, there is also a stone tablet. The sword technique on the stone tablet is the true supreme sword technique.”
An elder shook his head and said, “That force is not something we can provoke. As long as they don’t interfere, we will have a chance to eliminate the four forces.”
Emperor Yu shook his head, “Perhaps.”
He was thinking about how to cooperate with the faction in the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, that faction was too mysterious. Although there were also factions outside, they could not come into contact with the core at all like Jin Tang, and it was very difficult for other Immortal Realm experts to come into contact with them.
The next day, Emperor Yu brought Shen Ping and the other two to the forbidden area of Monarch Mountain. They passed by several places guarded by the royal family before arriving at a hall.
