Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 475 The Phoenix Clan's Decision, Preparations for Departure

"You all stand down!"

After pondering for a moment, Qin Wu waved for everyone else to leave.

Only Qin Wu remained in the main tent, deep in thought...

Liu Feng quickly returned to the main tent.

"His Majesty."

Liu Feng bowed to Qin Wu.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Qin Wu snapped out of his reverie.

"Your Majesty, we have already instructed the right people to contact Liu Yu, and they will expedite the investigation."

Liu Feng reported back to Qin Wu.

"Yes, this is a message that just came from the upper realm. There may be an unprecedented secret realm appearing in the chaos. Tell them to investigate it thoroughly."

Qin Wu nodded and then gave another instruction.

This also allows Liu Yu and the others to personally investigate the authenticity of this secret realm.

"Yes, I understand."

Liu Feng accepted the order and withdrew.

Soon, a steady stream of messages were sent to Qin Wu.

With the constant stream of messages from the secret guards and the eight martial clans, Qin Wu quickly learned detailed information about the secret realm.

Just as the news from the upper realm said, this secret realm is of great importance. It seems that he can't give up this time. Even if it means revealing some of his strength, even if it means being feared by others in the end, he has to do it.

In the following period, Qin Wu began to make arrangements and ordered his personal guards and secret guards to break through as many barriers as possible before setting off.

To this end, Qin Wu used all the resources he had accumulated over the years, sparing no expense.

While preparations were underway, the Upper Realm wasted no time.

They were all frantically preparing for this secret realm, and no force was willing to give up this opportunity.

Once they obtain the secret to breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, they will be able to dominate a region, even overpower all other forces, and become the supreme being.

Just as Qin Wu was making all the preparations.

Consort Feng arrived at Shenwu Palace again.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"No courtesy, please sit down."

Qin Wu nodded slightly, gesturing for Consort Feng to sit down before continuing the discussion.

"Your Majesty, a message just arrived from the Upper Realm. They are about to depart and are wondering if we should also go to the secret realm."

Consort Feng explained her purpose.

This decision was made after discussions between the current patriarch and senior members of the Phoenix Clan.

This would also strengthen their ties and cooperation with the Qin Dynasty.

"Oh? I didn't expect the Phoenix Clan to remember me at this time. Aren't you afraid that if I go, I'll steal your resources?"

Qin Wu looked at Consort Feng with a half-smile.

He wanted to know why the Phoenix Clan had made such a decision.

If they get involved, wouldn't that just create another competitor for themselves?

It is completely contrary to their own interests.

In Qin Wu's view, they should have preferred that he not participate.

Now that the Phoenix Clan was asking him if he wanted to participate, Qin Wu became somewhat curious.

"Your Majesty, based on our Phoenix Clan's analysis of all previous secret realms, the danger level of this secret realm may be extremely terrifying. Even a late-stage Immortal Emperor might face a near-death experience if they enter it."

"The clan has prepared everything, but they are not confident of taking down this secret realm."

"Furthermore, with all the top powers participating, the competition will be even fiercer. No one in the clan has an absolute guarantee of safety, so we want to cooperate with His Majesty so that everyone will have more opportunities."

Consort Feng revealed the reason why the Phoenix Clan wanted to unite with Qin Wu.

She knew very well that she couldn't hide anything from Qin Wu, otherwise, if Qin Wu found out that they had been hiding something, he would definitely not let them have a good ending, given his temper.

Furthermore, she already had her own guesses about what had happened to the dragon clan, even though others might not know them.

That was very likely the work of their Emperor.

She knew that Qin Wu had a terrifying force of secret guards; although she had never seen them, she had heard of them.

This secret guard was trained by His Majesty from childhood, and no one knows how terrifying their strength is.

However, she had heard that it was even more terrifying than the Luo Wang, and she knew how terrifying the Luo Wang was; the entire Luo Wang could be said to be an all-pervasive force.

In the Qin Dynasty, there was a legend that all members of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) wanted to join the Dark Guard, but to join the Dark Guard, one had to possess great strength and be the strongest in the Luo Wang in every aspect.

This shows just how terrifying the secret guards were.

Moreover, legend has it that every time the secret guards take action, powerful figures fall, and these are all important individuals.

Therefore, after learning that a member of the Dragon Clan had been assassinated, she analyzed the situation and guessed that it was very likely the work of their Emperor.

Even with the Dragon Clan's strong defenses, their Emperor was still able to send assassins, which shows just how terrifying his strength is.

This is what led the Phoenix Clan to make this decision.

"Your Phoenix Clan is quite decisive. I agree to this matter."

Qin Wu said with a smile.

He hadn't actually met the Phoenix Clan yet, and this time he wanted to see what the Phoenix Clan was really like.

After all, without actually seeing them, he couldn't possibly trust anyone else completely.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I wonder when Your Majesty plans to send someone so that I can inform the clan."

Consort Feng was overjoyed when she heard Qin Wu agree.

She believed that if they joined forces, their chances of obtaining the secret to breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm would be much greater.

Add to that the martial arts forces behind His Majesty, and they are definitely the strongest force.

"No rush. Once the time is set, I will send someone to inform you."

Qin Wu nodded.

Consort Feng didn't say much, and after bowing, she withdrew.

"Liu Feng, go to Liu Yu and ask about the situation. Also, are the secret guards ready?"

After Consort Feng left, Qin Wu summoned Liu Feng.

"Your Majesty, the secret guards are ready and can depart at any time. The personal guards are also ready. Now that everyone has completed their breakthroughs, it will be difficult to make further breakthroughs in the short term."

"I will contact Liu Yu immediately."

After reporting, Liu Feng left immediately to contact Liu Yu.

Several hours later, Liu Feng returned.

"Your Majesty, this is the intelligence sent back by Liu Yu. There has been some unusual activity in that secret realm, and it will open in at most 100,000 years."

"If we want to participate, we need to set off quickly, or we won't make it in time."

As Liu Feng spoke, he handed a jade slip to Qin Wu.

Qin Wu took the jade slip and examined the information inside. He finished reading it in just a few breaths and put the jade slip aside.

"Make the arrangements, and also notify all cabinet ministers that the Crown Prince is coming to see me."

Qin Wu explained calmly.

That secret realm was located deep within chaos, and they were very far away from it.

Even with the best warships of the Qin Dynasty, it would take tens of thousands of years to arrive.

As for teleportation, spatial rifts are everywhere in the chaos, so even he dared not use it lightly.

Not to mention that they brought people with them this time, so they could only rely on warships to travel.

Another issue is that they might encounter unexpected things on the way, which could cause them to waste time.

Therefore, we need to arrange everything quickly.

"Yes."

The gust of wind receded.
