Chapter 327 Do You Dare

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The supreme leader, Lin Qingtian.

No matter how much prestige this number one figure in the current empire has lost recently, Regardless of how shaky the southwestern faction was under the assault of the royal faction, only those who truly understood the situation in the empire would understand. No matter what, Lin Qingtian's position could be said to be as stable as Mount Tai for at least two years. His chances of early retirement were the same as the chances of being re-elected two years later. It was basically zero.

Two years.

To be exact, it had been more than a year, and more than 400 days had passed. There were countless variables in it. Moreover, Lin Qingtian stayed in the position of supreme leader without moving. No one could tell what kind of situation this chess game would turn out to be in the end.

The voices within the royal clan had now been completely unified. Ye Nianlun was supported to succeed him, and in the behind-the-scenes operations of Chen Hua Lou, Minister Guo Tian Long, and Director Zou Ren Te, the Wang family's recent actions were quite powerful. Anyone with a good eye could see that the Wang family had gained the upper hand in the recent struggle, but this did not mean that the southwest faction did not have the strength.

The name of the first faction is definitely not fake, occupying the advantageous position of supreme leader, The number of Policy Bureau Standing Committee giants was the same as that of the royal family, The number of Policy Bureaux members was no weaker than that of the royal family, In the provinces of the empire, At the level of municipalities and prefecture-level cities, The southwestern faction was even more powerful than the royal faction, As for the military, The royal family only had a slight advantage, Although Wang Tianxiong had said a lot about the secret service, But because of the particularity and darkness of the secret service, Only the upper echelons of the Secret Service could reach out to the empire, The Secret Service mainly provided talents from all walks of life. Yun Shanluan controlled the Nine Continents Prison, and there were all sorts of dangerous lunatics who could even sell their souls for freedom. In terms of talent reserves, even if the southwest faction could not compare to the royal faction, they would definitely be able to meet their own needs.

The strength of the southwest faction was generally acknowledged, and it could be seen from the performance of the royal faction during this period of time.

For several months, the royal clan's offensive surged endlessly.

However, the harvest was not directly proportional to the momentum.

The initial dispute over the Ministry of Officials, Although the royal family did not suffer any losses in the end, Lin Congzheng was the first deputy director of the Empire Development Committee, This year is likely to be a step further, But this piece of meat, It can't be considered directly cut off from the southwest faction, The current director of the Development Committee had already arrived at his station at an early age. Although the southwest faction was unwilling to give up this position, it was not unacceptable. After all, once Lin Congzheng was reinstated, the position of the first deputy director would be the main general of the southwest faction. They would still be able to exert their corresponding influence in the Development Committee.

Moreover, the position of the Ministry of Officials was taken down logically.

This could be seen as a transaction, using the position of first-in-command of the Development Committee to exchange for a position of first-in-command of the Ministry of Officials and a position of second-in-command of the Development Committee.

The Wang family seemed to have won this kind of deal, but in reality, they did not take advantage of it. After all, the sudden death of the former Minister of Official Affairs was just an accident. The southwest faction could operate to such an extent, and it could already be considered to be skilled.

After the dispute over the Ministry of Officials, The ensuing disturbance in the Ministry of Security even touched everyone's minds. The royal lineage was as aggressive as ever. Even the Minister of Security, Huang Haotian, Kyushu Prison Yun Shanluan, Lin Fengxue, the patriarch of the Lin family in the southwest, was involved. The disturbance lasted for nearly three months. Lin Fengxue was safe and sound, and Yun Shanluan was still in charge of the Nine Continents Prison. Although Huang Haotian, the security minister, was demoted to the position of head of the Overseas Intelligence Department, he managed to escape from the quagmire smoothly. The newly appointed security minister was also a leading general of the southwest faction.

The Wang family's plan to dig out the big shots behind the southwest faction through Huang Haotian had completely failed, and was firmly resisted by the southwest faction.

This was also an attack that made the royal clan look glorious, but in reality, it didn't yield any results.

In the disturbance of the Ministry of Security, The southwestern faction has given up three members of the Standing Committee of the Dongshan Provincial Party Committee, But they were all handed over to the southern faction, This was the key to Huang Haotian, Lin Fengxue, and the others being able to escape unscathed. Strictly speaking, the disturbance in the Ministry of Security was equivalent to losing three deputy governor-level positions to the southwest faction. While a senior deputy governor-level official was in charge of the empire's intelligence department, he also held the position of head of the overseas intelligence department in his hands.

This could be considered a loss?

No one would think so.

Two extremely passive and troublesome matters, however, the southwest faction was quietly operating under the stage. In the end, the big issues were reduced to small ones. Not only did they not suffer any losses, they did not allow the Wang faction to take advantage of them.

Such a defensive method of struggle could no longer be said to be purely political wisdom. It was simply cunning!

After the disturbance at the Ministry of Security, The loss of the army was the most painful thing for the southwest faction, The military forces within the faction also exerted pressure on the General Staff, causing Ye Nianlun , who had been silent for many years, to be infuriated. The head of the General Political Department of the military, who had always been in control of the southwest faction, was directly transferred to a leisurely post. The king's military boss, Zheng Kuang Ge, took over the General Political Department, controlling the nomination, inspection, and suggestion rights of the military to promote high-ranking generals.

This was the fattest piece of meat Wang Xi had ever bitten in this year's struggle.

However, it could not be said that the royal family had really taken advantage of him.

After all, this incident had not occurred for a long time. Only a few months had passed. The royal family was still operating quietly. The outcome of the military's game would ultimately depend on the position of the main general of the southwest faction and the former head of the General Political Department.

His current idle position was definitely not the main point, and the amount of real power he had at his next stop directly determined the amount of advantage that the royal clan would gain in this battle.

After the war between the military and the empire, everyone was still not used to the high frequency of political wars in the empire. The transfer of Wen Keliang, the secretary of the provincial party committee of Dongshan Province, which was highly valued by the southwest faction, made everyone nervous.

The strongest back garden and the most optimistic general had both fallen, which was equivalent to directly touching the bottom line of the southwest faction.

The next successor of the Wang Family, Huangfu Jun, who carried the banner, became the secretary of the provincial party committee of Dongshan Province.

However, to the royal family, this was definitely not a fat meat, but a volcano crater.

This time, the Wang Clan had been overshadowed by the southern faction. They had sent the next successor of their own faction to the headquarters of the other faction, and they had not even provided him with even a capable assistant. In such an environment, Huangfu Jun's situation could be described as more than dangerous.

Many people had already guessed that there were only two situations in Dongshan Province.

The first was that after the southwest faction was enraged by the bottom line, they counterattacked forcefully. Before and after the southwest faction counterattacked, the royal faction transferred Huangfu Jun out of Dongshan Province.

The second was that the royal faction was fully operational and began to seize the territory of Dongshan Province. The two faction leaders directly set off a huge whirlpool in Dongshan Province that could affect the overall situation. Once this happened, the royal faction and the southwest faction would undoubtedly be at the forefront of the war.

Regardless of which speculation, everyone knew that the southwest faction would definitely not remain silent again. The reason for the previous two silences was because the southwest faction did not lose anything. That was all. Once someone forcefully snatched away the benefits that belonged to them, the southwest faction would definitely not give up.

While the entire empire was paying close attention to the two factions, Lin Qingtian's every move attracted the attention of everyone.

Therefore, the moment he appeared in the splendid banquet hall of the Divine Continent, he immediately caused a violent sensation.

Everyone stood up, and Lin Qingtian's surroundings were instantly filled with people. Everyone in the empire would be in awe of this number one powerhouse.

Lin Qingtian shook hands with everyone with a smile on his face. His appearance was too sudden, and because of his sudden appearance, it attracted everyone's attention, causing no one to pay attention to Lin Xuanyuan's movements.

By the time everyone regained their senses and felt that something was about to happen, there was no sign of the young War God King beside the coffin.

Everyone was slightly stunned.

"On the stage..."

No one knew who said this, but everyone subconsciously looked at the central platform.

Lin Xuanyuan stood quietly in front of the microphone under the glittering lights on the rostrum. His eyes were calm and expressionless as he looked down at Lin Qingtian. The sharpness of his entire body became even more dazzling!

"Young man, the Fuehrer is here. The podium is not the place you should stay. Why don't you come down?!"

Beside Lin Qingtian, Yun Shanluan appeared like a ghost. His expression was gloomy as he shouted. His face was still pale and he was seriously injured. However, compared to the injuries he couldn't get up at noon, it was much better. He must have consumed the genetic medicine that the empire had independently researched. This made him look very haggard. Other than that, he was no different from an ordinary person. However, Lin Xuanyuan was able to see through his external strength and internal strength with a single glance.

He had always been very clear about his actions, so he had a general understanding of Yun Shanluan's injuries. Not to mention the immature gene potion, even the goddamn holy water couldn't restore his combat strength in an afternoon. Now that he was able to stand up and speak, it was already considered quite good.

"You also want me to go down?"

Lin Xuanyuan didn't even look at Yun Shanluan. He just narrowed his eyes, glanced at Lin Qingtian, and asked indifferently.

Under everyone's gaze, A sharp light flashed in Lin Qingtian's eyes. He then smiled and waved his hand, "Old, I'm not used to the lights. If it were two years ago, young man, I would have stood in that position. Forget it now, I should have been standing on the stage for a long time. I should have been below. I should have been standing in a position that doesn't belong to me. I would have been thrown over at any time. The higher I stand, the worse my fall would have been."

Most of them were silent, their expressions different.

Lin Qingtian's words were truly meaningful. It was as if he was talking about Lin Xuanyuan, concealing needles in a pile, but it left people speechless.

However, most of them had nothing to say, but Lin Xuanyuan had something to say. He stood on the stage, facing the microphone, and his cold voice spread throughout every corner of the banquet hall, "The Fuehrer knows his own limits."

He didn't seem to understand Lin Qingtian's mockery of him. He knew what he was doing, but he urged Lin Qingtian to step down.

After that slap in the face, Lin Qingtian was too lazy to argue with this sharp-tongued young man. He only smiled faintly and squinted at the eight coffins in front of him. He smiled coldly and said in a calm tone, "This gift is not bad, but there are seven people in the Snow Wind Family. Aside from the seven of them, the closest person should be me."

He stepped forward and patted the coffin. He looked up at Lin Xuanyuan and said with a smile, "Xuanyuan, do you still have a copy of this coffin for me?"

The entire arena fell silent again.

It was a simple question, but it was exceptionally old-fashioned.

If Lin Xuanyuan said yes, then it would prove that he had the intention to kill Lin Qingtian, the supreme leader of the empire, and that he was speaking out in public by the imperial clan magnates. The influence behind this and the disturbance caused by it were simply unimaginable.

However, Lin Xuanyuan was very aggressive. If he said no now, his aura would inevitably suffer a severe setback. If Lin Qingtian were to speak more cleverly, it was very likely that all of Lin Xuanyuan's actions today would become a laughingstock.

Lin Qingtian smiled calmly as he quietly looked at Lin Xuanyuan, who was lowered his head and seemed to be deep in thought on the rostrum. He smiled indifferently and said, "Xuanyuan, do you dare to answer?"

Do you dare to answer?

This question was even more heart-wrenching.

Lin Xuanyuan suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly. The flames on his body suddenly burned again.

He jumped off the podium and strode forward, "Painting and Calligraphy!"

"Yes!"

Lin Shuhua, who was attending the banquet with Lin Xuanyuan and Helian Chenxi, suddenly took a step forward and appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"Open the coffin!"

Lin Xuanyuan sneered, his arrogance almost limitless.

Lin Shuhua's body trembled slightly, and without hesitation, he opened the coffin at the center of the eight coffins.

At the same time that the coffin was opened, Lin Xuanyuan was already standing in front of Lin Qingtian.

Facing the narrowed eyes of the supreme leader, Lin Xuanyuan smiled coldly and pointed at the coffin. Without any hesitation, he said, "Fuehrer, please, do you dare to enter the coffin?"
