Journey to the West: From the Primordial Era

Chapter 148 Beihai Yuan Futong's Ambition

Grand Master's Mansion.

After Qin Hua's divine clones Xuankong and Xuanzong came in, the Prince of Dongbo did not show any abnormality on his face, and did not feel the slightest bit of guilt.

It seemed as if he was not the one who visited the dignitaries in Chaoge repeatedly and isolated Qingzhou.

"…Grandmaster, Yuan Futong of the North Sea has repeatedly provoked us. Recently, he even sent troops to attack several vassal states in the north, forcing more than seventy vassal states to submit to him. If we don't control him, he will become a serious problem in the future!"

After Qin Hua and Xuanzong sat down, Chong Houhu continued to turn around and talk about Yuan Futong's deeds in the north.

In fact, Yuan Futong of Beihai and Xuan family of Qingzhou are essentially the same.

Xuanzong of Qingzhou wanted to replace Donglu and become the Marquis of Dongbo. In the future, he also wanted to replace the Shang Dynasty and become the orthodox human race.

Yuan Futong of Beihai also wanted to become the Marquis of Beibo and had great ambitions in his heart.

The only difference is that Qingzhou is still in the stage of accumulating strength, and has not made a big move against Donglu, but only let the general Li Jing take action in a small way. However, Yuan Futong's ambition is already obvious.

Wen Zhong looked somewhat embarrassed.

He had no good feelings towards Yuan Futong who acted out of line, but at this time Emperor Yi had just passed away and the new Emperor had not yet held his coronation ceremony. The most important thing at the moment was to let the Emperor succeed to the throne, and all other matters should be put aside.

No matter how domineering Yuan Futong is, he is just a hidden danger in the north and cannot affect Chaoge.

However, Chong Houhu kept complaining and wanted Wen Zhong to do justice, which made it difficult for Master Wen to handle the matter.

"Marquis Beibo, you also know the situation in Chaoge. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet ascended the throne, and I cannot deal with the princes of Beihai!"

Wen Zhong sighed.

"Grand Master, as Beibohou said, Yuan Futong has become a great threat to the north of the Shang Dynasty. I also heard that Yuan Futong has ambitions to become king himself and is in collusion with the Guifang tribe!"

"When the previous emperor was in power, Yuan Futong had to lie low, but now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, his power and virtue are not yet known. I'm afraid Yuan Futong will look down on the emperor and start a rebellion when he just ascends the throne! We must be on guard against this!"

Seeing this, Su Hu also spoke up.

Qin Hua's divine fetus clone listened with great interest. Both Chong Houhu and Su Hu had no good feelings towards Yuan Futong. They wanted to take the opportunity of coming to Chaoge to meet the Emperor to flatter him.

In the original timeline, Yuan Futong launched a rebellion shortly after Emperor Xin ascended the throne, and tied down Grand Master Wen for fifteen years.

Without Grand Master Wen in Chaoge, Emperor Xin acted recklessly, causing the Shang Dynasty to decline...

"The one who sticks out gets rotten first. This saying is indeed true! Yuan Futong was the first to start a rebellion, but he was targeted by Master Wen and became cannon fodder for the king's vanguard!"

"Even Xiqi in the future had to endure the conquests of thirty-six armies first, using defense as offense to consume all the elite troops of the Shang Dynasty, before they had the courage to raise an army."

"If you don't have enough strength, you still have to hide!"

From what everyone said, Qin Hua could judge that at this time, Beihai’s power was far greater than Qingzhou’s.

Yuan Futong's ability and influence are evident from the fact that he was able to subdue a total of 72 princes.

"You two, I understand what you said, but now is not the time to send troops. How about this, I will report to Your Highness after His Highness ascends to the throne!"

Wen Zhong comforted her repeatedly.

Chonghouhu and Su Hu looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. The princes had to come to Chaoge for no reason. It was a pity that they finally came to Chaoge and returned empty-handed.

The next time I come to Chaoge might be ten years later, by which time Yuan Futong will surely be too powerful to be controlled.

Seeing that the two stopped talking, Wen Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes immediately fell on Xuanzong, and the divine eyes between his eyebrows flickered slightly. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong, I see that you are full of energy and have a strong aura. Could it be that you have already reached the Golden Immortal?"

"Golden Immortal?"

Before Xuanzong answered, Chonghouhu, Su Hu and Jiang Wenhuan could not help showing surprise and looked sideways at Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong.

"Grand Master, your eyes are as sharp as lightning. I have indeed entered the Golden Immortal stage, but the breakthrough has only just begun..."

The method of collecting spirits, gathering qi and locking essence that Xuan Zong practiced can hide his own Taiyi Golden Immortal destiny. As for concealing his qi, it is still good. This is the secret method of the Three Purities.

Wen Zhong was born with divine eyes, and he could detect Xuan Zong's strength with just a glance. As for the key hidden destiny, it was blocked by the Suo Yuan Fa and was not discovered.

"You're using me to change the subject!"

Xuanzong glanced at his father Xuankong, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart while speaking.

He knew that Wen Zhong actually had no ill intentions. Perhaps in Wen Zhong's view, everyone present was his own person, and Xuanzong's strength was no secret, so there was nothing wrong with telling it out. What's more, his father Xuankong was a powerful Daluo Jinxian in the middle stage.

In order to change the subject, Wen Zhong praised Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong.

In order to make up for his action of exposing Xuanzong's hidden strength, he also gave Xuanzong a Kui water mine ball as compensation!

This is a treasure refined by immortals with great magical powers who collected the essence of billions of tons of sea water, extracted the essence of sunflower water, and combined it with the water divine thunder of the five elements of thunder magic.

Releasing the thunder ball is comparable to the full-strength attack of Taiyi Jinxian.

This treasure is a one-time consumable item, and is not very precious to Xuanzong. He himself is a powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal, but in order to hide his cultivation, Xuanzong's method of gathering spirit, qi and locking essence can still be concealed as long as no quasi-saint comes.

For ordinary people, the thunder ball is an invaluable treasure that can protect themselves and save their lives.

"A one-time Sunflower Water Divine Thunder is better than nothing!"

Xuanzong took the things without hesitation, ignoring the envious looks of others.

The people were not familiar with each other.

Especially Chonghouhu and Su Hu were northern princes, and they were not of the same kind as Qingzhou and Donglu. After exchanging pleasantries at the Grand Tutor's Mansion, they saw that Grand Tutor Wen still had things to deal with, so they all said goodbye.

"Da Lang, the Grand Master really thinks highly of you and actually gave you a treasure! If this news gets out, those generals in Chaoge will be terrified!"

After walking out, Qin Hua raised the corner of his mouth and looked happy.

Wen Zhong was the number one person in the military of the Shang Dynasty. No matter whether it was the generals and dignitaries in Chaoge or the generals stationed in various dangerous places, they all respected Wen Zhong very much.

If the Grand Tutor shows his esteem for his son Xuanzong, then the nobles in Chaoge and the generals in various places will all look up to Xuanzong, which will be very beneficial to Xuanzong's future ambitions.

Dong Lu's plan to isolate Qingzhou was also solved with the treasure bestowed by Grand Master Wen.

......

In the next few days, the news that Master Wen looked at the Marquis of Qingzhou differently and bestowed a treasure on him quickly spread throughout the circle of powerful people in Chaoge, and Feng Yuan's reputation spread quickly.

Several military families and dignitaries who were originally prepared to cut off ties with Qingzhou sent people to deliver gifts, intending to make up for the previous "misunderstanding" between the two sides and re-establish friendship with Qingzhou.

Qin Hua had no interest in this kind of socializing that was based on building relationships and exchanging favors, so he followed Xuanzong to receive the guests.

Compared with these, Qin Hua is more accustomed to letting this divine fetus clone enhance its own strength, and when its own strength is strong enough, it can directly sweep away all enemies. This is refreshing enough.

Qin Hua himself was a crazy cultivator when he was in seclusion in Taiqing Palace in the Honghuang Sea. Now his clone is almost the same and he has no intention of changing his personality.
