Chapter 118: The Opportunity Arrives

Chen Ruhai pondered for a moment and said with satisfaction, "Our Palace Guardian can contribute two hundred people!"

Gao Qingyu furrowed his brows and asked, "This matter is of great importance. Can we trust these people? The Five Spirit Toad of the Unified Heart Sect can communicate telepathically at any time."

Chen Ruhai nodded, "These people are absolutely trustworthy. If there's any leak during the selection, I, Chen Ruhai, will have no face left to continue serving as the Deputy Hall Master."

Gao Qingyu asked, "What about your Hall Master?"

"The Hall Master went to the Southeast Headquarters and hasn't returned yet."

"Good."

"Then we'll take action tonight."

After that, everyone dispersed.

Gao Qingyu and the others retrieved the map of the White Cloud Academy and carefully studied it, repeatedly rehearsing their plan. Finally, they confirmed that there would be no mishaps.

Only then did they feel relieved.

"As long as this plan is real, this deployment will be foolproof!"

The branch of the Unified Heart Sect on White Cloud Continent.

This cancerous tumor had been a constant concern for Gao Qingyu, almost becoming an obsession.

He was well aware that the White Cloud Academy had a spy from the Unified Heart Sect.

However, after all these years, they still couldn't find the spy, and with the branch of the Unified Heart Sect outside, they could attack or defend as needed.

Gao Qingyu didn't have the luxury of hoping to eliminate both sides completely.

The best option was to take out one side first.

When the other side encountered difficulties, they would eventually expose themselves over time.

But for many years, this branch had been extremely cunning, never engaging in any major actions. Each time, a few individuals would act alone, causing destruction.

Moreover, every strike, whether it hit or missed, would immediately scatter far and wide.

It was truly impossible to track them down.

Now, finally, the opportunity had arrived.

"This time, Fang Che will make a great contribution."

Gao Qingyu nodded in relief, "Below White Cloud Lake, there are over three million people within the flood-affected area, and there's also a whole branch of the Unified Heart Sect. This is a significant achievement!"

Huang Yifan silently nodded, but his mind was filled with doubts.

Why would Fang Che betray the Unified Heart Sect? What went wrong?

Li Changkong smiled, "Fang Che is a good kid. I never expected him to have such an opportunity to make such a significant contribution."

"It's too early to say if it's true or not. We need to verify it."

Gao Qingyu's voice turned cold, "Instructor Li, after so many years of teaching, your students are getting worse with each passing year. Don't you have any sense of urgency? After this matter, submit a self-reflection report! Then start your duty shift at the Academy!"

Li Changkong was stunned for a moment, feeling wronged, "Dean, last year, my student brought honor to the Academy, and you praised me then."

Gao Qingyu roared, "Nonsense! The Academy's appointment is a sign of trust in you! If you're just as hesitant as you, how can we deal with the Only Me Sect?"

Gao Qingyu was furious, "If you can't do your duty shift properly, I'll skin you alive!"

Li Changkong sighed in his heart, feeling incredibly unlucky.

He glanced at Huang Yifan, who was looking up at the sky with an indifferent expression.

"Huang Yifan, you bastard!"

Li Changkong cursed in his heart. Today, he had been thoroughly played...

...

At the same time.

Dong Sansan held a piece of intelligence, which indicated that the branch of the Unified Heart Sect was about to take action.

His eyes flickered, "Suddenly, a branch is mentioned? What's the Seal God Palace's intention?"

"A single Fang Che doesn't have the power to make the Seal God Palace make such a huge sacrifice. Let's eliminate this possibility first, then it means... this branch has displeased the Seal God Palace."

"Why are they displeased? In other words, the Seal God Palace has started to make their move. In other words, this branch of the Unified Heart Sect belongs to Ren Zhongyuan's faction."

"So..."

Dong Sansan knocked on the table, his eyes flashing, "The Seal God Palace has made a move, and in one go, they've uprooted this branch. Ren Zhongyuan will definitely make his move soon; but if he doesn't, he'll fall into the Seal God Palace's trap. Because if the Seal God Palace wasn't prepared, they wouldn't target such an obvious branch on White Cloud Continent."

"In other words, an internal conflict within the Unified Heart Sect is imminent?!"

Dong Sansan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and carefully reconsidered everything from start to finish.

Then, he immediately gave orders.

"Come here!"

"Pay full attention to the Unified Heart Sect. If there's any abnormality, report it immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Ask those investigating Ren Zhongyuan's whereabouts. If there's no report on his location by this afternoon, have them demoted!"

"In the east, south, and southeast directions, immediately deploy five teams of Guardian-level forces and above!"

"Southeast Guardians, all King Rank experts and above, return to your positions and stand by. Effective immediately, until further notice."

"Awaiting orders, ready to move at any moment."

"..."

The orders were issued one by one, the pace quick, but clear.

After giving the orders, Dong Sansan began to recall his arrangements, confirming that there would be no mistakes.

The figure of a white-clad person flashed by.

A white-robed figure entered, smiling, "Old Nine, are you planning to uproot the Unified Heart Sect?"

Dong Sansan smiled and gestured for the visitor to take a seat, saying, "Not this time. It's not that serious."

"Oh?" the white-robed person asked, puzzled.

"The Unified Heart Sect is in turmoil, with the Deputy Sect Leader vying for power. The Seal God Palace is also having a hard time now."

Dong Sansan calmly stated, "So, we can take this opportunity to strike and push them back. If we uproot them completely, it might actually be disadvantageous for the overall situation."

"Hmm."

"This time, I want to use this incident to test the extent of the internal struggle within the Only Me Sect."

"Oh?"

"Behind the Seal God Palace is the support of the main sect. Ren Zhongyuan also has his backers. We both know who they are. These people have been in open and secret conflict within the Only Me Sect for many years."

"But their disputes have always been within their scope of duties and have never escalated. This time, the conflict between the Seal God Palace and Ren Zhongyuan is likely due to the influence of the higher-ups, otherwise, neither of them would be so impulsive."

Dong Sansan said, "In other words, the opportunity we've been waiting for seems to have arrived."

The white-robed person frowned, "Opportunity?"

"Yes, an opportunity."

Dong Sansan explained, "The Only Me Sect has always been suppressed by us, and they haven't successfully established a kingdom. So, even though there are internal conflicts and hidden dangers, they won't openly erupt. They have a sense of crisis and know that if chaos ensues, it will give us an opportunity to weaken their strength."

"But now, things are different. Considering the current situation on the continent, it seems to be tilting in their favor, and they have already established their kingdom."

Dong Sansan said, "Do you realize how big of a crisis their establishment of a kingdom is?"

"Isn't the establishment of the Only Me Sect the worst thing for us?" The white-robed person was a bit surprised.

Dong Sansan smiled bitterly, "I overestimated your wisdom."

"..."

The white-robed person was taken aback.

Dong Sansan smiled and said, "I'm just joking. Actually, if you think about it, you can figure it out yourself."

"Before the Only Me Sect established their kingdom, they were a team fighting for dominance. Even if there were conflicts, they would suppress them because they were never the orthodox choice and their primary concern was survival. Even with their strength, they were like scattered sand. Scattered sand can only survive by sticking together, so dealing with them wasn't easy for us."

"So we never had a significant opportunity to exploit."

"But what if they successfully establish their kingdom? The situation changes. Everyone feels that their contributions are the greatest. Now that the kingdom is established, it's time to reward achievements, right?"

"Even if they can't be given official positions openly, there should be some benefits and titles in secret, right?"

"Since it's about rewards, there must be high and low positions, right?"

"They are all a bunch of proud soldiers and fierce generals... We've gone through countless hardships to conquer the world, right?"

Dong Sansan said, "Since a kingdom is established, there's a need for civil officials, right? But who are the members of the Only Me Sect? A bunch of killers! How can they possibly respect civil officials?"

"So, the conflict between civil and military officials in the New Chu Kingdom will be more intense than in any other dynasty. And to deal with the exceptionally powerful martial artists and warriors, the civil officials must unite to have a chance to confront them."

"But once they do that, it will make the conflict even sharper."

"So now, the Only Me Sect is at its most chaotic!"

"Conquering the world is not the same as governing it. That's why there's a saying, 'It's difficult to conquer the world, but even more difficult to govern it.' This is why countless founding monarchs kill their meritorious officials after establishing their kingdoms."

"It's not entirely related to the saying, 'Birds gone, bows stored; rabbits dead, rabbits cooked.' It's because these people are hard to control. They have countless thoughts, grievances, and complaints in their hearts. Everyone feels wronged, thinking their position is too low and their benefits too few. With this mindset, they might do many extreme things, and keeping them around is no longer beneficial for the new dynasty's rule."

The white-robed person nodded and said, "Now I understand. We're all brothers, fighting together to conquer the world. After conquering it, if you become the emperor, it's only natural for me to expect a high official position, right?"

"It's not just that."

Dong Sansan sighed, "You haven't read any of the books I gave you."

The white-robed person picked up the tea and murmured, "You're smart, you're amazing."

Dong Sansan glared at him and said, "The key point about the Only Me Sect establishing a new Chu Kingdom is... The emperor is not the sect leader! Do you understand? The emperor is just a puppet! Do you get it?"

"I understand a little."

"Then you might as well not understand at all!"

Dong Sansan angrily said, "If you don't understand, just follow orders!"

"Now, and for the next few years, it will be the most chaotic time for the Only Me Sect. Don't be fooled by their established kingdom and national fortune. Their internal conflicts are about to erupt."

"I've been waiting for this opportunity!"

"And now, it has finally arrived!"
