Chapter 358: Peaceful Inn, Playing by the Rules
“Why can’t we? Just beat them until they submit!”
“This method won’t work.”
“If I beat them into submission, I could have a powerful army.”
“But to create an era of prosperity, one must follow the rules.”
“An era of prosperity?”
A hint of confusion flashed across Bai Ze’s face, clearly not understanding Chen Changsheng’s meaning.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng continued speaking.
“The world has been hurt too much. To put it simply, everything is depleted.”
“The war to seal gods, the war on the Ascension Road, the two-world war initiated by Tianxuan, and the final end-of-the-world war.”
“These wars have left the world in tatters.”
“Practicing Dao, alchemy Dao, array formation Dao, various unique cultivation resources.”
“Everything has suffered significant decline.”
“Think about it, before the two-world war began, weren’t Immortal Sovereign Realm experts seen from time to time?”
“Divine Realm experts were everywhere, and even Immortal King-level experts could occasionally be seen.”
“But now?”
“The Immortal Sovereign Realm experts have become legends, not appearing for thousands of years, and Divine Realm experts are scarce.”
“Wan City is known as the third largest city in the Spirit Domain, but there are only four Divine Realm experts here.”
“Three of them are at the bl**d Transfer Realm, and the other barely reached the half-step Bone Transformation Realm.”
“These situations are enough to show how severe the world’s decline has become.”
After hearing Chen Changsheng’s analysis, Bai Ze thought carefully and realized it was indeed true.
The great wars ten thousand years ago, though he did not directly participate, he was involved in most of them.
During the sealing of gods war, the Sea of Suffering System had just emerged, so higher realms were not very clear.
But even then, the battles were incredibly fierce.
Cultivators at the bl**d Transfer and Bone Transformation realms were merely high-grade cannon fodder.
Only those who could be named were at least at the Rebirth Realm.
In later wars, one had to be at the Immortal Sovereign level to even have a seat at the table.
Those truly controlling the situation were usually Immortal Kings or Heavenly Mandate Holders.
Or some ancient beings who had lived for tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
If the level was even higher, it would be the Forbidden Grounds, mysterious existences. Such levels were beyond his qualifications to participate.
Looking at the present, where even bl**d Transfer and Bone Transformation levels could dominate, it was truly laughable.
Thinking this, Bai Ze said, “Then what do you plan to do?”
“It’s simple, play within the rules.”
“Before, you dealt with the rule-makers, so you could act recklessly.”
“But now, we must act within the rules, our methods can’t be the same as before.”
Hearing this, Bai Ze’s face drooped.
“That’s troublesome. I don’t like being constrained. It’s no fun at all.”
“No, no, no!”
“Sometimes, doing things within the rules is far more enjoyable than outside.”
“Think about it, when you defeat your enemies using the rules, they will be furious and want to overturn the table.”
“But when they try to overturn the table, they find out they don’t even have the right to do so in front of us.”
“Isn’t that interesting?”
Bai Ze: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧
Hearing this, Bai Ze’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Listening to you, it does seem interesting. So who should we target first?”
“The Su Family’s main branch!”
“The third branch of the Su family was forced to leave because of Su Wan’er, and their lives are miserable.”
“What if the third branch suddenly rises, how would the main branch react?”
“They would definitely be furious and try every means to stop it.”
“But if they can’t stop it?”
—
“Then they’ll only have the option to overturn the table…”
Halfway through, Bai Ze’s mouth started to curl up crazily.
“Hehe!”
“You really know how to play, Chen Changsheng. Where did you learn these tactics?”
“Winning with weakness, utilizing the rules to strike the enemy the hardest, that’s my specialty.”
“However, as my strength and status grew, I no longer needed these tactics.”
“Is that so?”
“I never knew.”
“You didn’t know because back then, I hadn’t picked you up yet.”
“To put it bluntly, back then, Wu Li wasn’t even born yet.”
“Tsk tsk!”
“How interesting, tell me more…”
One person and one beast whispered in the room, while a middle-aged man quickly returned to Wanxiang City.
—
Living Room.
Bai Ze lay in the corner, wagging its tail.
The main seat in the living room was occupied by a middle-aged man with dark skin.
“Junior, please forgive me. I heard you came with a token, I was unprepared.”
Seeing the bl**d-stained clothes of the man, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“A great man doesn’t mind small details. Uncle Su is a man of character, I admire him.”
“My master once arranged a marriage for me. Today, I am here to fulfill that engagement.”
Hearing this, the man frowned slightly.
“But…”
“Uncle Su, I understand your concerns. If I were after wealth and beauty, I wouldn’t have come.”
“Since I’m here, I can prove I don’t care about these things.”
“As long as Uncle Su agrees, I will treat Miss Wan’er well.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, the middle-aged man smiled.
“Good!”
“Indeed, you are worthy of being Master Ge’s disciple.”
“Since you’ve said so much, I won’t refuse.”
“A few days ago, I got an invitation to the Peaceful Inn. You and Wan’er can go together soon.”
As he spoke, the man pulled out an invitation.
Seeing this, the old servant said, “Sir, this was obtained with great difficulty.”
“If you go to the Peaceful Inn, you might advance to the bl**d Transfer…”
“Old Huang!”
The old servant’s words were cut off by the man.
“Chen Young Master kept his promise and fulfilled our family’s engagement, this is already a great favor.”
“And this invitation is specifically for Wan’er. Now, Chen Young Master and Wan’er going together is perfect.”
Hearing this, the old servant pursed his lips and stepped back.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled, “Uncle Su, you’re too polite. Just call me Changsheng, I can’t accept other titles.”
“Also, Uncle Su sending Wan’er to the Peaceful Inn is to treat her illness, right?”
Upon hearing this, the man nodded and said,
“That’s right.”
“In the Nine Domains, apart from the already ascended masters, only Mountain River Academy and the Peaceful Inn can treat Wan’er’s illness.”
“Mountain River Academy gathers the prodigies of the Nine Domains, but Wan’er can’t cultivate, so she can’t go there.”
“The only way is the Peaceful Inn.”
“So that’s how it is!”
Chen Changsheng said calmly, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.
