"The most rampant human trafficking organizations in the shadows are also our key targets."
Hearing this, Li Chang'an already knew what Wei Yuan was going to say.
"Brother Wei, are you referring to human slaves kept by the Marquis of Pingyuan's mansion?"
Wei Yuan was visibly taken aback, because he had been secretly investigating the human slaves of the Pingyuan Earl's mansion and had never told anyone about it publicly.
"Brother Li, you really know quite a lot."
"I am truly fortunate that Brother Li is not my enemy."
Because Li Chang'an cultivated the Confucian system, the abundant fortune he possessed was undoubtedly the fortune of the human race.
Therefore, Li Chang'an's existence and power had no impact on Wei Yuan's secret plans and schemes.
"If Heaven had not given birth to me, Li Chang'an, the Great Feng Dynasty would have been shrouded in eternal darkness." Li Chang'an quipped, using Xu Xinnian's poem as a metaphor.
Wei Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "This sounds like boasting to others, but it doesn't seem like it when Brother Li says it."
"The head of the slave traders in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion is named Black Scorpion, and he maintains a one-way communication with the Marquis of Pingyuan."
"This person disappeared completely after the Marquis of Pingyuan's entire clan was exterminated."
"However, there is a hidden passage beneath the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion, which leads to an unknown destination, and we are unable to open it."
"Since it's related to the dragon vein, is it perhaps connected to what Brother Li mentioned earlier about His Majesty being devoured and possessed?"
Li Chang'an nodded and said, "Brother Wei is indeed perceptive; these two matters are indeed related."
The dragon vein secret passage of the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion can be activated using the fragments of the Earth Book from the Heaven and Earth Society.
However, once the formation is activated, they will have to face Empress Joan of Arc directly.
At that time, there will be a direct break with Empress Joan of Arc, which will be the time when the Great Feng Dynasty will undergo a complete transformation.
Li Chang'an had been building up his reputation, and this time, after defeating the Bodhisattva Dharma Image, his prestige has reached a new level.
However, Emperor Yuanjing's reputation was not completely ruined yet, and killing the emperor at this time would cause unnecessary turmoil.
So what needs to be done now is to expose Joan of Arc's ugly face to the public, bit by bit.
"Brother Wei, leave the investigation of how the Dragon Vein Secret Passage was opened to me."
"Now, I have an important question to ask Brother Wei."
Wei Yuan was naturally at ease knowing that Li Chang'an, who cultivated Taoism, was going to investigate the method of opening the dragon vein.
Wei Yuan always believed that Luo Yuheng was a femme fatale, so naturally he would not seek help from the Imperial Advisor.
"Brother Li, please speak freely."
Li Chang'an stared into Wei Yuan's eyes and said, "Brother Wei, the Confucian sage statue in the Northeast is about to collapse, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan was completely stunned and remained speechless for a long time.
Li Chang'an said calmly, "Brother Wei, please rest assured. When I appeared in the capital, the supervisor did not suppress me, and even secretly helped me."
"This means that I am harmless to the fate of the Great Feng Dynasty. I will support a crown prince and rightfully continue the Great Feng Dynasty's legacy."
If Li Chang'an said, "I'm too lazy to be emperor in this lifetime," I wonder what Wei Yuan's expression would be.
Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Because Li Chang'an had just revealed his biggest secret.
"Yes, the supreme-grade witch god of the Northeast may be about to break through the seal."
"The three northeastern kingdoms under the rule of the Witch God Cult are now at their zenith."
"If we let them continue to develop, they will inevitably annex the northern barbarians and then try to seize the fortune of the Central Plains."
Li Chang'an continued, "Therefore, most of the spies responsible for military intelligence among the night watchmen were in the Northeast."
Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
“If you weren’t a sorcerer, I would definitely suspect that you are another first-grade Destiny Master.”
The Supervisor was the only first-rank sorcerer in the Great Feng Dynasty and a cornerstone of the dynasty.
"That five-hundred-year-old man knows everything, but cares about nothing."
"Your air of knowing everything gives me the illusion that I am facing the Superintendent..."
Wei Yuan still felt some pressure facing the supervisor.
"Young friend Wei Yuan, it's time for us to stir things up..."
Li Chang'an remained calm and composed, his tone indifferent, causing Wei Yuan's smile to freeze once again.
That tone, that expression, they're exactly like that old supervisor!
"Brother Li... don't scare me."
Seeing Wei Yuan's nervous expression, Li Chang'an couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm not trying to scare you, but I can indeed call you 'young friend'."
"However, my immortality is different from that of the Supervisor."
"He is an immortal old man, and I am an immortal youth, forever eighteen years old."
"Therefore, we should treat each other as equals, and my thinking is more open-minded."
"If you call me senior, I feel like you're making me sound old."
Wei Yuan's dazed expression eased somewhat, and he drank a couple of sips of water to calm his nerves.
"Brother Li, your joke is not funny at all, but rather quite frightening."
"You're right. Most of the night watchmen's spies are now in the three northeastern countries."
"When the time is right, I, Wei, will personally lead the charge, strike at the heart of the enemy, and utterly destroy their stronghold!"
Li Chang'an said, "There are third-rank Spiritual Wisdom Masters and third-rank Taoist experts appearing in Chuzhou."
"As far as I know, the Prince of Zhenbei is about to reach the peak of the third rank."
Wei Yuan frowned and said, "If he successfully reaches the peak of the third rank and then develops the Flower Goddess Spiritual Essence, he can successfully break through to the second rank."
"At that time, our Great Feng will have one more second-rank martial artist, making it easier to conquer the Witch God Cult."
Wei Yuan looked extremely excited, seemingly pleased with the outcome.
"Brother Wei, don't you know how the Prince of Huai plans to reach the peak of the third rank?"
Wei Yuan was a second-rank military officer, a secret that had already been revealed to Li Chang'an.
Therefore, Wei Yuan was very clear about the path for warriors to advance in rank.
"Chuzhou borders the territory of the demons and barbarians, and is constantly at war with them, which is nothing more than devouring their life force."
Li Chang'an said, "But experts from the demon race and the barbarian race will all try to prevent Prince Huai from advancing."
"It will be extremely difficult for the Prince of Huai to advance his rank by relying on the blood essence of corpses from local wars."
"Both of the three third-rank demons, Zhu Jiu and Jiliguzhi, will do everything they can to stop them."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan also fell into deep thought.
"Indeed, the two sides are mutually restraining each other, and neither can hope to step into the second rank."
Li Chang'an said, "The Prince of Huai's method is to slaughter 300,000 people of Da Feng and refine them into blood pills."
"What!" Wei Yuan's expression changed drastically, clearly unable to believe such a fact.
"Brother Li, is the source of this information reliable?"
Li Chang'an said, "Brother Wei, you can send someone to gather information."
"However, the Prince of Huai is very vigilant. With three third-rank officials stationed in Chuzhou, it will be difficult to find any clues."
Wei Yuan's expression changed repeatedly. He knew that Li Chang'an had a Yang spirit that could leave his body, which was probably the source of his information.
If what Li Chang'an said is true, then this matter can indeed be kept strictly confidential.
The plan of the Prince of Zhenbei was to silently kill 300,000 civilians, then seize their spiritual essence and successfully advance to the second rank.
Even more terrifying is that if this plan succeeds, the King of Zhenbei could achieve a great victory over the demons and barbarians by virtue of his cultivation.
At that time, the King of Zhenbei will be a meritorious official of the Great Feng Dynasty, and all the civilians who died in battle will be blamed on the demon army.
Wei Yuan was indeed shrewd and calculating; he quickly figured out all the key points.
Before he knew it, Wei Yuan was drenched in sweat and terrified.
"Brother Li! We absolutely cannot tolerate this happening!"
In the original novel, by the time Wei Yuan learned of this, the massacre of three thousand miles had already taken place.
Therefore, he even instigated the demon and barbarian army to attack Chuzhou, causing the King of Zhenbei and the powerful demon and barbarian warriors to fight each other like dogs.
If the Prince of Zhenbei dies, it will be his just deserts, and Wei Yuan will be able to regain command of the army.
If the Prince of Zhenbei wins, then he will be the vanguard in attacking the Witch God Cult.
However, now that Wei Yuan knows about this before the massacre of three thousand miles, he will certainly not sit idly by.
“Brother Li, I can go to Chuzhou with you. The two of us are enough to deal with them.”
