Chapter 196 Tian Shu
The two entered the villa.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Chuan brought a cup of spiritual tea to Lu Zhengrong.
"I've heard that this cup of spiritual tea has already fetched nearly 80 million at auction. At the current rate, it won't be long before it's worth 100 million!"
Lu Zhengrong naturally knew about the spiritual tea. He picked it up, smelled it, and his aged face showed a look of intoxication.
This is all about spiritual energy.
"Supreme Qin, may I pack up what I need?"
"Whatever," Qin Chuan said nonchalantly.
"I don't pursue the ultimate in martial arts. I'll leave this spiritual tea for my granddaughter." Lu Zhengrong carefully put down the spiritual tea and changed the subject.
"From the moment I entered, I sensed that your villa was very special. The spiritual energy seemed particularly rich. As far as I know, only an array can fill a place with spiritual energy, and Kunlun Mountain is an example of this."
"Is Qin Zhizun also a master of formations?"
Qin Chuan did not answer the question.
"You just said you needed my help?"
Lu Zhengrong nodded: "Supreme Qin, you should know about the Azure Dragon Holy Land. In fact, our military also has a holy land called the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land, which is home to the most elite martial artists trained by our military."
"Oh, you want to invite me to be their instructor?" Qin Chuan clearly didn't seem very interested.
"no."
Lu Zhengrong shook his head, his expression quite solemn, and said, "This Tian Shu Holy Land should have been directly controlled by my Dragon Kingdom, but now it is entirely in the hands of the Cao family."
"The Cao family is a military family, and we can't directly seize control of Tian Shu from them. But Tian Shu is an extremely powerful elite force of warriors, cultivated by our Dragon Kingdom with a great deal of resources. We can't let it become the Cao family's private army, can we?"
He paused, then continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Cao family will likely mobilize Tian Shu, because after you killed Cao Ting, they certainly won't let it go."
"Marshal Lu, are you saying that the Cao family wants to mobilize Tian Shu to kill me?" Qin Chuan squinted.
That's probably true in most cases.
Lu Zhengrong was quite helpless about this: "As you can see, Cao Ting originally wanted to avenge Kunlun Mountain, but he mobilized an army. The grudge between Kunlun Mountain and you is a martial arts grudge, and it should not involve the soldiers. These soldiers are fighting against external forces, not internal ones."
Qin Chuan quite agreed with this point.
"So... I would like to ask Supreme Qin to take back control of Tian Shu!" Lu Zhengrong requested sincerely.
"I'm a little curious. If the Dragon Kingdom wants to take back the Heavenly Pivot, it seems they don't need my help, right?" Qin Chuan asked with some doubt.
Lu Zhengrong didn't hide anything and said helplessly, "That happened many years ago. Tian Shu allowed the Cao family to mobilize it to resist foreign enemies, but over time, the Cao family treated Tian Shu as their own private army, and we couldn't directly suppress the Cao family..."
"Besides, suppressing the Cao family is easy, but if we really suppress them, it will discourage the other military families. We want to take back the Tian Shu Holy Land through other means."
"Actually, it doesn't matter who controls Tian Shu, but the problem is that it can't become a private army. The Cao family has often used Tian Shu to eliminate dissidents over the years, which is unacceptable!"
To put it bluntly, even if your Cao family controls Tian Shu, the Dragon Kingdom wouldn't normally interfere, because what is a small family compared to a powerful nation?
The Cao family used the Heavenly Pivot to eliminate dissidents, which is something the Dragon Kingdom does not allow. That's why they want to take back the Heavenly Pivot, but they just don't want to break off relations.
Qin Chuan remained silent, deep in thought.
"Supreme Qin, of course, I won't let you launch your campaign without a legitimate reason. On behalf of the Jinling Military Region, I hereby confer upon you the rank of Five-Star General, which will perfectly replace Cao Ting's position and allow you to take charge of Tian Shu!" Lu Zhengrong's attitude remained extremely sincere.
Twenty minutes later.
Lu Zhengrong left the Cloud Top Villa.
Ye Nantian arrived at the door shortly after he left.
"Mr. Qin!"
Ye Nantian asked with utmost respect, "Was that Marshal Lu just now?"
"Hmm." Qin Chuan nodded slightly.
Ye Nantian looked quite nervous: "Is Marshal Lu here to interrogate us?"
Qin Chuan shook his head: "He just came to ask me for a favor, to take back the Tian Shu Holy Land from the Cao family."
Lu Zhengrong certainly knows how to pick people.
He killed Cao Ting, so there's definitely no room for negotiation with the Cao family.
Even if Qin Chuan doesn't go to the Cao family, the Cao family will come looking for him.
The two are now irreconcilable enemies.
Lu Zhengrong only wanted to use Qin Chuan to take back Tian Shu. As for whether the Cao family was destroyed, Lu Zhengrong didn't care at all.
Perhaps Lu Zhengrong also harbored the desire to destroy the Cao family.
Otherwise, why would they have approached him?
Who in the martial arts world doesn't know that if Qin Chuan were to make a move, it would most likely result in the extermination of the entire clan?
However, Qin Chuan didn't care either. To him, everything in this world could be suppressed and killed!
hiss!
Ye Nantian couldn't help but gasp: "Mr. Qin, are you trying to use me to take back Tian Shu?"
"So...you agreed?"
"I agree." Qin Chuan nodded slightly.
"Why?" Ye Nantian was puzzled. Based on his understanding of Qin Chuan, Lu Zhengrong's purpose was too strong. How could he possibly agree?
Qin Chuan said calmly, "Firstly, Marshal Lu can help me resolve some minor troubles related to killing a five-star general. Secondly, the Cao family will definitely retaliate, and I'll just take care of them as a matter of course."
Actually, there's a third one.
That is the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land on Hong Kong Island!
Ye Nantian gasped again.
Killing a five-star general is just a minor problem?
Oh my God!
How could this be a minor inconvenience?
Ye Nantian was quite worried about this on his way here, but he didn't expect it to be such a small problem for Mr. Qin...
However, he soon understood some of it.
This is like having an ant on the ground; you have to lift your foot to step on it, but Mr. Qin just doesn't want to lift his foot.
Ye Nantian slowly exhaled.
Things are bound to get turbulent from here on out.
Because Cao Ting wanted to avenge Kunshan, he came to Yunding Mountain, which not only brought disaster to the Cao family.
"Mr. Qin, when do you plan to depart for Hong Kong Island?" Ye Nantian asked.
"No rush."
Qin Chuan shook his head.
Of course there's no rush. We can go to Hong Kong Island when it's my so-called grandfather's birthday.
Ye Nantian didn't ask any more questions. Now that he had taken over the auction rights for the Spirit Tea, his status had soared not only in Jinling but also throughout the entire martial arts world of the Dragon Kingdom.
Because everyone in the world already knows that if you want to buy the Spirit Tea, you have to curry favor with Ye Nantian.
And after tonight.
News of Qin Chuan's killing of five-star general Cao Ting spread.
The martial arts world... is shaken once again!
