It seems that proclaiming himself emperor was anticipated by the Fourteenth Prince.

With a faint smile, Qin Tian said, ”Prince of Peace, it appears you foresaw all my actions, ha ha, did you also predict I would come to find you?”

After the Fourth Prince ascended the throne as Emperor Xuan, he pondered repeatedly over the title to bestow upon the Fourteenth Prince, eventually granting him the title of Prince of Peace. The implications were profound.

”You came to see me simply because you want me to help you break the stalemate.”

The Prince of Peace smiled lightly, ”Is that so?”

Indeed, this Prince of Peace is exceedingly wise; he even deduced Qin Tian’s purpose on this occasion.

Qin Tian wasn’t surprised because, within Long Yin, there were truly outstanding individuals. Spies were pervasive worldwide; he might have heard some tidbits prematurely from the West State.

”Prince of Peace, you mentioned earlier that you would try to help me. Does that still hold?” Qin Tian asked directly.

”Of course, what would you like us to do? We’ve been consistently acting this way in the Imperial City lately.”

Staring at Qin Tian, the Prince of Peace said: ”You might not yet know, but last month, two of Emperor Xuan’s favored war generals were assassinated by us.”

”Moreover, within the Elder Council of the Tianyuan Dynasty, only three elders remain, yet one of them disappeared last month. This patriarch was the most formidable in cultivation and combat power among the Elder Council.”

Swish!

Hearing the Prince of Peace’s words, Qin Tian’s expression changed slightly and he knitted his brows, wondering how Long Yin could be so strong to handle even the Elder Council’s top experts?

”You might think we killed that patriarch, but you misunderstood, we did not.”

Seemingly seeing through Qin Tian’s doubts, the Prince of Peace said: ”We simply used some methods to enhance that patriarch’s corpse, eventually pushing him into the Ascension Stage to ascend to the Immortal Domain...”

Qin Tian was enlightened.

This meant that the patriarch’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Flying Immortal Realm; such strength was indeed a major threat to Qin Tian!

”Your worry this time is about clashes between the Imperial City and West State, fearing the Dragon Clan might scoop the benefits. Tell me, what would you like us to do?”

The Prince of Peace spoke with refreshing directness, causing Qin Tian to pause momentarily.

Qin Tian asked, ”Can you decide on matters concerning Long Yin?”

”I cannot, but my opinions carry significant weight.” The Prince of Peace replied, ”Unless you’d prefer to speak to Mr. Shenyue rather than me.”

”I want to speak together, not repeat myself.”

Qin Tian already clarified the Prince of Peace isn’t Mr. Shenyue. He’s unsure about Mr. Shenyue’s identity, but now, aiming to form an alliance, he must directly approach Mr. Shenyue for many things.

”Mr. Shenyue is currently not in the Imperial City; whatever needs discussing, speak to me; I can also decide.”

The Prince of Peace said.

”I want you to help me counter the Dragon Slayer Department, the War God, and Emperor Xuan, especially the War God. If he could be eliminated, it would be ideal; he’s currently the number one threat within the Tianyuan Dynasty.”

Qin Tian said directly.

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Peace momentarily froze, then fell silent for a few seconds.

After a while, he said: ”Your appetite seems quite large.”

”Even with your assistance, it can’t be achieved?”

Though Qin Tian stated his target, the Fourteenth Prince, Prince of Peace, didn’t specify whether they could achieve it or not, merely stating Qin Tian’s appetite was large, indicating there’s potential.

”It’s worth a try, but have you considered the consequences of failure? If we fail, we, Long Yin, will have to leave the Imperial City, and perhaps suffer a crushing defeat, subsequently losing the ability to aid you in the future.”

Gazing at Qin Tian, he didn’t wait for a response before smiling faintly, ”Thinking on it, now that you’ve become emperor, the continued existence of Long Yin is actually not that significant... ha ha, so be it. If you desire, let’s proceed this way. Next, I will report to Mr. Shenyue, and seek an opportunity to mobilize all the forces of Long Yin in the Imperial City to assassinate the War God and Emperor Xuan.”

Hearing the Prince of Peace, Qin Tian felt an inner reluctance and asked again the question he had previously posed to the Fourteenth Prince: ”Why are you helping me so?”

”Because we walk the same path.”

He smiled lightly, changing the topic, ”It’s truly not easy to eradicate the War God and Emperor Xuan; they are treacherous and suspicious, their guard is too tight. Previously, we sought opportunities but found it difficult to strike. I believe targeting their close associates would be easier.”

”Alright, the Dragon Slayer Department, how about it?”

Qin Tian said, ”The Dragon Slayer Department has become Emperor Xuan’s principal force in eradicating dissension. What about taking out its higher-ups?”

The Prince of Peace nodded, ”I’ll arrange it; it’s continuously been arranged. But to tell you frankly, if we don’t target the Dragon Slayer Department, they are already seeking us; the remaining strength of Long Yin in the Imperial City consists of only dozens. That’s all of it.”

”I also thought of someone,” Qin Tian recalled his vendetta, ”State Preceptor Sima Tianchen, have you considered wanting to kill him?”

”I know you definitely want to kill him.” The Prince of Peace wasn’t surprised at all by Qin Tian mentioning Sima Tianchen.

”He took part in slaying Long Jun... he’s practically your father’s killer, of course you want to kill him. But his cultivation is unfathomable, his movements elusive, it’s difficult to track his whereabouts.”

”Recently, he seems to be gradually withdrawing from politics, even becoming somewhat distant from the Ice Emperor. Now with Emperor Xuan on the throne, his relationship with Emperor Xuan isn’t good either.”

”If you wish to kill him, I think it wouldn’t be too hard if you just track his whereabouts.”

Regardless, Sima Tianchen participated in the plot, which is a fact.

Whatever his current circumstances, avenging the killing of his father is irreconcilable.

After negotiating the assassination task with the Prince of Peace, Qin Tian returned to the Gongsun mansion.

Since Sima Tianchen is easy to kill, let’s start with him!

”Hmm?”

Upon returning to the Gongsun mansion, Qin Tian sensed something amiss with the atmosphere; people coming and going were all in chaotic frenzy akin to ants on a hot pan.

Qin Tian, now due to orders from Third Lady Gongsun, could freely enter and exit the mansion. Approaching Gongsun’s personal maid, Huanhuan, Qin Tian asked:

”Huanhuan, what’s happening? Has something occurred?”

Huanhuan, her eyes moist with tears, looked at Qin Tian, ”Young Master, just now Lord Cao from the Dragon Slayer Department came. They took away our family head; it seems the family head has been threatened... But they’re from the Dragon Slayer Department, our household can’t dare to act against them. Once we do, we’ll be utterly convicted as traitors... sob sob...”

”How long have they been gone?” Qin Tian furrowed his brows, his face revealing murder intent.
