Chapter 2434: Rich! Put Away Your Divine Skills Now
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
...Divine Martial World.
Xuan Zhen Continent, Moyou Country.
Xuan Zhen Continent is the third largest continent in the Divine Martial World, with its size second only to the Cold Moon Continent and the Red Moon Continent.
Therefore, throughout the ages of Immortal Demon wars, Xuan Zhen Continent has always been a battlefield.
On the vast continent, You, Qi, Xuan, Chen, Chu, Song, and Wu are seven nations each belonging to two major factions, vying for supremacy. With the changes in times and situations, the national power and territories of each country fluctuate and rise and fall.
And now, the country with the strongest momentum on Xuan Zhen Continent is Moyou Country.
The reason is simple. The biological mother of the current Crown Prince Jingming of the Red Moon Demon Dynasty is the Consoling Princess of the Imperial Household of Moyou Country, of the Dugu Family.
Since Jingming became the Crown Prince, Moyou Country’s "international status" has steadily increased, and when faced with matters related to Moyou Country, other nations also tend to yield if possible, step back if possible. This naturally boosts the arrogance of Moyan Country, thriving for the past two hundred years.
However, such benefits won’t last for long.
After all, the Consoling Princess is merely in the Divine Power Territory, barely able to live for two thousand years, and surely won’t survive until the day Shentu Jingming ascends the throne as Demon Emperor.
Once the Consoling Princess passes away, the bond between Crown Prince Jingming and Moyan Country will naturally fade, and over time, this bond will only weaken further, causing Moyan Country’s advantage to rapidly dissipate. If they dare to act recklessly then, they will most likely be jointly targeted.
But those are matters for the future.
Currently, Moyou Country is enjoying its rise, and no one wants to provoke its ire.
And the most influential person in Moyou Country now is neither the Emperor of You Country nor the Demon Lord Xuan Sha of the Devil Lord Palace, but merely a Divine Power Territory Prince — Guangyu Prince.
Guangyu Prince is a cousin of Consoling Princess from the same line. In prominent families, this is considered a very close connection. Moreover, as time goes by, cultivators below the Divine Power Territory gradually pass away, so how many peers of similar age can survive?
Guangyu Prince and Consoling Princess are of similar age and cultivation base, naturally making their relationship a bit closer.
Thus, after Consoling Princess married into the Demonic Dynasty’s Wang Fu, she maintained close ties with Moyou Country, especially with Guangyu Prince, for the relationships were inherently close, and marrying off as a bride requires support from one’s mother’s family; the stronger the mother’s family, the less anyone dares to provoke.
Moreover, Guangyu Prince is a resourceful person, not only getting along well with Consoling Princess but also dealing well with the brother-in-law’s family, especially cherishing the nephew Shentu Jingming, treating him as his own.
After Shentu Jingming gained momentum, Guangyu Prince’s status naturally rose along with him, even the Emperor of You Country and Demon Lord Xuan Sha of the Void Realm treat him with respect.
Within Moyou Country, there are things the Emperor cannot accomplish, but there is nothing Guangyu Prince cannot achieve.
This is the common belief within Moyou Country nowadays.
But at this moment.
In Guangyu Prince’s mansion, Guangyu Prince, who appears to be middle-aged, smashed the precious playthings in the study into pieces.
He was unable to suppress his furious anger: "Useless! Truly a bunch of useless people! How could they mishandle even the matter of runaway serfs, and let someone raid the house, sweeping all the property away."
In recent months, Moyou Country has experienced unrest, with serfs being incited by those with ulterior motives to escape in large numbers, fleeing into neighboring Song Country’s territory. And over time, this momentum has intensified, stretching from border counties to several surrounding counties.
Indeed, the entire Moyou Country is now on edge, as if frightened by the wind and the grass.
Currently, Guangyu Prince is in charge of the nationwide distribution and collection of grain seeds, holding considerable power and naturally earning a fortune, so the Emperor of You Country entrusted him with handling this matter.
As a result, although his measures, including suppression, failed to deter those serfs, the situation deteriorated further, even leading to the raiding of the Border Prince whom he entrusted with a heavy responsibility. If this continues, there will be more and more runaway serfs, possibly turning Moyou Country into an empty shell.
"Your Highness." A gloomy, sinister-looking man in a black robe approached Guangyu Prince and advised in a low voice, "Don’t let him ruin your health. After months of investigation by your subordinate, the mastermind’s whereabouts are now under control; with your order, we can immediately launch a decapitation strike."
Since he got rich, Guangyu Prince naturally offered part of his wealth to his beloved nephew Crown Prince Jingming, while another part was used to expand his own strength. Over the years, he had gathered seven or eight cultivators in the Divine Power Territory to serve him.
His greatest desire now is to obtain a Codex, even if he himself cannot inherit it, he must choose an appropriate descendant to cultivate the Codex.
With the Codex, one can cultivate to the Void Realm. Cultivating to the Void Realm allows one to be titled Duke.
And only by becoming a Duke family can his present glory be inherited for generations, otherwise, it will remain an illusion.
"I suspect Song Country has a hand in this. This time, I will personally take action." Guangyu Prince sneered, "As a precaution, send a letter to Demon Lord Xuan Sha to ask for his assistance. Once it’s confirmed that Song Country is involved, I’ll make them spit out everything they swallowed, with interest."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The subordinates all retreated in succession.
