Chapter 368 - 173 The Mysterious Demon Beast Egg Hatches_2
And Feng Wumian, sitting at the head seat, sighed softly with a hint of helplessness.
Is that really so?
However, it seemed this was already the best-case scenario.
If the new Emperor Feng Wumian wanted to continue expanding his territory, his strength, and his influence,
he must take over Qingcheng Prefecture.
Not only because Qingcheng Prefecture was vast in size.
But also because there was another very important reason: Qingcheng Prefecture was the Da Feng Dynasty’s most important grain and salt producing region.
If he could take over most of the territory of Qingcheng Prefecture,
then the two extremely important resources of grain and salt
would not easily face scarcity in the future.
"So be it, let’s just go with this..."
After murmuring to himself,
Feng Wumian suddenly lifted his head and inquired softly to Zhong Yu, who stood quietly by his side, "What’s the situation in White Lotus Prefecture now?"
The White Brahma Temple within White Lotus Prefecture
was something Feng Wumian paid close attention to.
After all, it was known as one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism.
It was said that the White Brahma Temple had even planted one of the most evil things between heaven and earth within White Lotus Prefecture, the White Brahma Lotus.
Initially, Feng Wumian thought,
to first observe the decisions of the other forces.
He could perhaps use the White Brahma Temple to continuously expand his own power.
However, what he didn’t expect was...
that the other powers showed no reaction whatsoever to this so-called White Brahma Temple.
Whether it was his second brother or the Luo Family, which controlled three prefectures,
they had no reaction to the White Brahma Temple or the White Brahma Lotus, one of the most evil things between heaven and earth, which could grow in the void, absorbing the Qi-Blood Force and life energy of people.
And if it were only this...
then so be it.
After all, White Lotus Prefecture was a certain distance away from the territories of the Luo Family and his second brother.
But what was most bizarre was...
that the forces neighboring White Lotus Prefecture also made no moves against the White Brahma Temple.
Even the alliance that the Great Hanging Temple had so painstakingly organized, with the common goal of subduing the White Brahma Temple,
had gradually and bit by bit become a mere name with no substance in this period.
This was what confounded Feng Wumian the most.
What were those people thinking?
Not stopping the growth and expansion of the White Brahma Temple, were they waiting for death?
Feng Wumian wasn’t afraid of the White Brahma Temple, primarily because he had the support of the old ancestors of the Royal Feng Family at his back, so he need not panic too much.
But those families and powers that neighbored the White Brahma Temple in White Lotus Prefecture
showed not the slightest response.
This was the most absurd of all.
...
In a palace with only two people,
upon hearing Feng Wumian’s question, Zhong Yu pondered for a moment before responding in a soft voice.
"White Lotus Prefecture has essentially become a monologue under the control of the White Brahma Temple."
"Within White Lotus Prefecture, the previously strongest force, the Great Hanging Temple, apart from those monks who survived..."
"the rest have fully perished."
"As for the White Brahma Lotus, which is known as one of the most evil things between heaven and earth..."
"since the White Brahma Lotus is growing within the White Brahma Temple."
"thus, there is not much I know about this White Brahma Lotus..."
After saying this,
Zhong Yu bowed his head once more,
his face still covered with an expression full of respect.
And Feng Wumian, who sat in the main seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, resting his right hand on the edge of the Golden Throne.
His head was supported by the palm of his right hand.
There, he quietly watched Zhong Yu in front of him.
As time passed, and as Zhong Yu felt a bit creeped out under Feng Wumian’s gaze,
a somewhat casual sound
finally rang out.
"So be it, you may withdraw for now..."
Feng Wumian, sitting in the main seat, waved his hand.
And Zhong Yu in the palace bowed slightly,
then turned around,
leaving the great hall.
...
Experience more on empire
After Zhong Yu’s departure,
only the new Emperor Feng Wumian was left in the dimly lit great hall.
Oh, no...
If you count the figure that had just appeared,
there were still two people in the great hall.
"White Lotus Prefecture, White Brahma Temple, and the so-called most evil thing between heaven and earth, the White Brahma Lotus, indeed pose some troublesome problems."
"But, they’re not completely unsolvable."
"So... what do you plan to do next, young man?"
A somewhat aged and hoarse voice suddenly resounded within the great hall.
Following the rise of that aged and hoarse voice,
Feng Wumian, who was sitting in the main seat, immediately stood up.
He silently moved beside the owner of the voice,
slightly bowing his head with an expression that carried a trace of respect.
Then, he said in a low voice, "Qingcheng Prefecture is the first step. Only by taking over the majority of its territories will I have enough capital to continue my campaigns and grow my power. And the White Brahma Temple within White Lotus Prefecture..."
"It’s also part of my plans."
"White Lotus Prefecture and White Brahma Temple are the opportunities for a breakthrough."
"If I can seize this opportunity."
"I’ll be able to easily take over the other prefectures."
"There’s just one problem, something in my heart is troubling me..."
As the figure listened, he frowned slightly and couldn’t help but inquire, "What problem?"
Feng Wumian spoke with a look of concern, "The White Brahma Temple is known as one of the Three Great Demonic Paths of Buddhism. The White Brahma Lotus is called one of the most evil things between heaven and earth, said to be capable of rooting between heaven and earth, absorbing the Qi-Blood Force and life energy of all beings."
