I Am Such An Expert; Why Do I Have To Take In Disciples

Chapter 137 - Second Step of the Puppet Plan

Chapter 137 Second Step of the Puppet Plan

Three days later, at dawn, while Lu Xiaoran was still meditating, a figure quietly entered his courtyard.

Sensing that familiar aura, Lu Xiaoran’s eyes moved slightly. The door quietly opened, and the surrounding spirit energy transformed into a huge hand that directly pulled the other party into the room.

“Greetings, Senior Lu.”

Lu Xiaoran glanced at the other party.

“Fourth level of the Soul Refinement Realm. Not bad, your advancement is quite fast.”

“It’s all thanks to the Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique and the Martial Monarch Blood Pill Senior bestowed to me that I could advance in such a short period of time.”

Lu Xiaoran nodded.

“It’s good that you understand. What’s the matter?”

“Senior, the Imperial Family has ordered us to gather the kings and pursue Elder Netherworld.”

Lu Xiaoran could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly as his eyes flashed.

“This Elder Netherworld is actually so terrifying? He wants the Great Zhou Imperial Family to gather the kings to pursue him?”

“Not only that, I heard that there are two Emperor Realm experts leading the team.”

Hiss…

Lu Xiaoran could not help but gasp. Wasn’t this Elder Netherworld a little too terrifying? He actually made the Great Zhou Imperial Family mobilize an Emperor Realm expert.

That was an existence equivalent to the Grand Elder of the Heaven Demon Sect. It could almost be said that such a figure was one of the top existences in a king’s family.

Fortunately, he had been cultivating in his room the past two days and did not go out. Otherwise, he would probably be in trouble.

After all, he was only at the first level of the Emperor Realm now, and Elder Netherworld’s cultivation was definitely several levels above the Emperor Realm!

If he encountered that Elder Netherworld, it might be another fierce battle. If he was careless, he might even be killed by the other party.

Indeed, the Imperial City was a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. He still had to be low-key.

“Senior, I’ll be going to the gathering later, so I came to inform you.”

Lu Xiaoran nodded, and then as if thinking of something, he gave Ji Wushang a top-grade Heaven Realm armor and set up a few defensive array formations. He also cast a mark on Ji Wushang, allowing him to check on Ji Wushang’s condition at any time.

After all, Ji Wushang was someone he had to nurture to become the Emperor of the Great Zhou.

If anything happened, all of Lu Xiaoran’s efforts would have been for naught.

After doing all of this, Lu Xiaoran continued, “Go on. Remember, don’t fight in the frontlines. Leave the posturing to others. It’s fine as long as you come back alive. Just don’t lose an arm or a leg.”

“Yes. Then I’ll take my leave.”

“Wait, let me ask you this first. Is that Lin Fei going?”

“Senior, Lin Fei won’t be going. I didn’t pay too much attention to him. However, I think he should be cultivating diligently and preparing for the next Ancient Forbidden Ground. After all, the Ancient Forbidden Ground is the most important in the short term.”

“I see. Then go and be careful.”

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand. After Ji Wushang left, he began to ponder again.

“I originally wanted to find a chance to kill Lin Fei, but it looks like I can’t.”

“It’s normal for Lin Fei not to go for such a dangerous and useless matter. However, since he’s so serious about preparing for the battle in the Ancient Forbidden Area, he will definitely obtain at least one or even a few huge benefits from the Ancient Forbidden Area. After all, this is how things usually unfold.”

Anything that captured the hot shots’ interest would not be bad. Similarly, anything that the hot shots paid special attention to would definitely not be bad.

It was very likely for Lin Fei to shine in the Ancient Forbidden Area this time.

It would even increase his cultivation by a lot.

Moreover, it was impossible for Lu Xiaoran to kill Lin Fei as soon as he arrived. That was unrealistic.

Not to mention that Ruyang knew how to protect her husband. In addition, Lin Fei himself also had a few people protecting him.

In the information Lu Xiaoran had seen previously, it had mentioned that the Eagle Imperial Palace was backing Ruyang. Moreover, the Hua Imperial Palace, an imperial palace that Lin Fei had taken a fancy to, also had a rather good relationship with Lin Fei.

Needless to say, the members of these factions were definitely like supporting characters in the protagonist’s path. They were the type of people that would come out to help the protagonist survive before he matured.

Their cultivation levels were very powerful. Logically speaking, they also shouldn’t have had much interaction with Lin Fei.

However, because Lin Fei was a protagonist, the other party’s intelligence would decrease drastically. In any case, as long as someone attacked Lin Fei, they would definitely protect him with their lives.

Lu Xiaoran, who was familiar with these things, naturally knew this very well.

This was not something he could change.

In fact, Lu Xiaoran did not care too much.

On the one hand, the Purple Peace Imperial Palace was not easy to deal with. If the other party attacked, the Purple Peace Imperial Palace would also not sit idly by.

On the other hand, as long as he could stall until the end of the month, when his precious disciples’ cultivation increased, his cultivation would also welcome a huge explosion.

At that time, he would probably be able to fight Lin Fei one-on-one. After all, by then, he would have broken through to the mid-stage Emperor Realm, around the fifth or sixth level.

The most terrifying thing about the imperial palaces was not the succeeding kings, but the old kings of the various imperial palaces who had already retired.

It was said that the weakest among them was at the Emperor Realm!

Otherwise, if they were all at the King Realm, Lu Xiaoran would not care at all. He could fight a group of them alone now.

However, there was another problem. He needed to plan ahead before killing Lin Fei.

After killing Lin Fei, the remaining important matter would definitely be to support Ji Wushang

At that time, Lin Fei would be useless.

“Looks like I have to think of another plan to ensure that I can control the Great Zhou Emperor behind the scenes.”

Lu Xiaoran held his chin and pondered for a moment. Soon, the corner of his mouth curled up.

“Since I’m already prepared to kill Lin Fei, why don’t I take advantage of Lin Fei again and get him to help me?”.

Just like how Lu Xiaoran had killed Lin Fei’s Martial Monarch Realm master, Yue Ling, and refined her into Martial Monarch Realm Soul Pills, Lu Xiaoran was also prepared to use Lin Fei to help him achieve some goals.

As a hot shot, Lin Fei had offended many people.

As long as he appeared, there would definitely be people who mocked and even attacked him secretly.

The purpose of these people’s existence was solely to embarrass Lin Fei. It was even possible that they would be killed by Lin Fei. In fact, there were even some cases where they would be subdued by Lin Fei’s charisma and become his good brothers and lackeys.

Lu Xiaoran could not be bothered with bootlickers.

However, Lu Xiaoran could rope in and nurture those who had been crippled or even injured by Lin Fei.

In any case, with the Three-Eyed True Eyes, he was not afraid of the other party rebelling. He could directly modify his memories and permanently control the other party.

Controlling Ji Wushang might not guarantee that he would become the mastermind of the Great Zhou.

There were many uncertain factors involved.

Lu Xiaoran had always been cautious. He would never allow his plan to go wrong.

He could not control the Great Zhou Imperial Family and choose who to rule.

However, if he could control all the candidates for the emperor. it wouldn’t matter who the Great Zhou Imperial Family picked.
