Chapter 1099 -1048-1049 Life Simulation – Changing Situations Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst
For these princely princes who originally defied the orders of the Da Ye Dynasty and ruled provinces and prefectures externally, the loss of support from the religious sects’ families behind them caused their situations to take a sharp downturn, no longer resembling the flourishing scenes of before.
The princely princes immediately realized that if they continued on this path, they would have no other option but to die.
“We are still alive because our bodies have accumulated Qi Yun. They worry about our sudden death, causing the loss of Qi Yun, which they cannot utilize. That is the reason for our survival.”
As he spoke these words, a sorrowful expression crossed the face of one of the princely princes.
No one could have imagined that they, who had once been at the height of their power, would now end up in such a dire situation, almost like livestock nourished by the forces behind them, to be slaughtered at will.
Moreover, it was because of the method of gathering Qi Yun imparted by Shenxiao True Monarch that they were able to accumulate this Qi Yun in their bodies, making their former supporters wary of them.
Otherwise, these worthless failures would have been taken down long ago by those people as a token of submission to a certain Rebel King.”
“Now we have only one path, which is to return to Da Xing and integrate our Qi Yun back into the royal family, not only to secure a way to survive for ourselves but also to make the royal family’s Qi Yun stronger. Perhaps, we truly have a chance to break the cycle of dynasty succession.” The princely princes made up their minds.
As princely princes of the royal family of the Da Ye Dynasty, although they had control over their territories, they had not openly resisted, undoubtedly leaving a bit of room for easing tensions between both sides, also leaving a lifeline for themselves.
They understood that what the Emperor Taizu of Da Ye wanted now was to accumulate Qi Yun, then use it to strive for a lifeline for the Da Ye Dynasty against various religious sects and families. What he lacked most was Qi Yun.
If they decisively surrendered and changed their allegiance at this time, it would undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity. Though they might lose most of their authority, they would surely gain a chance for survival.
Given the current situation, where they all faced mortal danger, the loss of authority wasn’t unacceptable.
After all, for them, surviving was everything. With their long lives, they might have another chance to start over. If they died, all opportunities would be lost.
Whether it was due to these religious sects’ families or the problems of these princely princes, in the third year of Pei Xuanjing’s secluded cultivation, as the forces of various Rebel Kings grew stronger, a significant incident occurred that infuriated all the religious sects’ families.
Time had gradually eroded Prince Wei’s declining power. Suddenly, he appeared invigorated and assembled his army, intending to reorganize and attack a certain Rebel King to strengthen his forces.
Although this move seemed like a desperate struggle in the eyes of the religious sect supporting him, they did not stop it; instead, they were pleased to push this endeavor forward.
Because this was perfectly aligned with their intent, which was to continuously weaken Prince Wei’s forces and then use the successive victories of the Rebel Kings to plunder his Qi Yun.
However, what these religious sects did not anticipate was that Prince Wei’s move was merely a feint. After setting off on the campaign, he suddenly changed his mind, killed the overseers from the religious sect, and then led his troops back to the Da Ye Dynasty.
This truly infuriated them, to be toyed with by a Prince Wei considered as good as caught and powerless. It was a complete loss of face.
Moreover, the loss wasn’t just face, but also the Qi Yun carried by Prince Wei. This increase and decrease of Qi Yun was like sending charcoal in snowy weather for the Da Ye Dynasty.
It wasn’t only Prince Wei; several other princely princes also made their move. Although not every princely prince succeeded, with some overpowered by the religious sects’ families behind them and directly deprived of their Qi Yun.
However, the successful escape of several princely princes also brought these religious sects’ families to the height of frustration, as these princes were originally considered their possessions and had now truly become their adversaries.
“Incompetents, even a cooked duck can fly away.”
“When did these princely princes establish contact with the other party, and how have you been managing them?”
“Punish all those who were in hiding, it must be severe.”
“This time that old fool has gained a significant advantage.”
“No, we cannot continue to drag this on. If we continue to delay, the Da Ye Dynasty will truly become too big to fail.”
“Originally, Emperor Taizu of Da Ye was terrifying with the powerful Qi Yun added to him. If we wait for him to refine this Qi Yun, he might indeed create an invincible powerhouse.”
“It’s been ten years. The Da Ye Dynasty still exists after these ten years, and if it continues to exist, it will only strengthen the adversary’s accumulated power.”
…
These religious sect powerhouses gathered together, discussing matters.
Every dynasty succession, like the end of a glorious dynasty such as the Da Ye Dynasty, aside from their intervention, often happened suddenly.
The world’s upheaval was so sudden that many of the dynasty’s accumulated forces not only failed to transform into combat strength, but instead became provision for the adversaries.
It is known that any dynasty, when really fighting for survival after centuries of accumulation, can also gather potent combat forces.
The initial rise of the Rebel Kings, aside from the support of various religious sects and families, was also by waging war to feed the war, turning the dynasty’s power into their own, incrementing and decrementing between them to become more powerful.
