Chapter 627 Yang Qing's exhortation to the king
One domain realm spirit beast already guaranteed their destruction, and adding another only ensured they would all be completely annihilated.
Even Zhang Qishan despite being a combat fanatic couldn't help but have a grim appearance. No matter how high his or his family's attainments in combat, they would not be able to hold a candle against a single domain expert let alone two. They would be like eggs pitting themselves against a steel wall if they fought. If it could even be called that.
"I said there were a few reasons I brought up the parasitic purple flower spore sycamore tree.
One is to make you aware of her relationships. She not only has a relationship with them but with me too, which should be something good for you.." said Yang Qing.
He decided to hide the connection to the middle-aged man. It would only add more panic to the King, who was barely holding it together as it was.
The king on hearing Yang Qing's words looked up as he asked,
"What do you mean, Branch Chief.."
"I explained the whole matter with the obsidian serpents to her and clarified that it was the Blue Soul Flame Crow Syndicate that had murdered the obsidian serpent's daughter.
When the fire adler bear comes out of his seclusion whenever that may be, she will likely be the first stop he makes.."
Yang Qing paused for a second and said with emphasis,
"As my friend, she will explain the whole matter to him should the time come. The fire adler bear may find it more palatable and process it better if it comes from someone he knows.
Just in case he doesn't and comes to make trouble for you, the Order will involve itself as the matter also concerns us.
However, we will only involve ourselves if the grudge he has against you concerns the obsidian serpents.." Yang Qing said as he narrowed his eyes.
The duo didn't miss the implications behind his words and why he brought up the sycamore tree and his next words more than drove the point home for them.
"Nothing can happen to the parasitic purple flower spore sycamore tree if you wish to maintain your safety.
This is one of the main reasons I asked you both over. You are in charge of your kingdom,?as for you, the sycamore tree told me the badger thinks highly of your grandfather.
Even without our involvement, you both are uniquely placed to prevent the worst from happening, provided you handle it well.
One can be the mediator and the other can ensure he has a complete grasp of the happenings of his territory.." said Yang Qing as his gaze fell on the two.
The two looked at each other before they nodded in agreement and turned to face Yang Qing.
"We will do what we must to ensure the safety of our kingdom.." said the King with some renewed vigor.
Yang Qing nodded in return as he added a few words of his own.
"I know the bad blood between you and the spirit beasts in this region runs too deep to be forgotten on either side but try that the burden of that hate is not carried forward by those that follow you.
Don't let the specters of your past grab hold of your present, otherwise, you will find yourself dead as the ghosts that hold you.
Your kingdom is at a precipice and it has been even back then when it was at the peak of its power.
You don't know how dangerous your neighbors are, but when your kingdom was starting up it never noticed them and was able to establish itself and it only caught a glimpse of the true terror of this place when it tried to conquer it.
There is something the sycamore tree told me, something that got me thinking, something that you should be thinking about.." Yang Qing said as his gaze paused briefly on the Zhang family head.
"The badger and the fire adler bear's master left the mountain range to explore the rest of the continent.
The Question I keep asking myself is this, how many more like them left this place to temper themselves out there?
Back then, when your kingdom tried to conquer this range, the spirit beasts that attacked you, was that the true picture of the horror of this place?
Or were there others that were missing?"
Yang Qing's words sent shivers down the two, especially the king.
"Before last week did you even know there were spirit beasts as powerful as the obsidian serpents, or the fire adler bear?
How many fire adler bears, and obsidian serpents do you think are roaming out there?
One day they will come back home.
Your kingdom cannot afford to make more enemies, King Zhou Luan.
Right now it isn't just your neighbors you have to worry about because a fiendish organization like the Blue Soul Flame Crow Syndicate left its prints here.
How long before others get the same idea as them?
With all that I have shared, you need to decide the next steps for your kingdom. What kind of kingdom do you want?
At the Institute we were always told, think think think think for months if you have to, and when the time comes to make your move, don't hesitate, look ahead and strike with relentless intensity. Don't waiver, don't doubt yourself, move wholly..."?Yang Qing somberly said as he remembered the speech they had given before the death duel matches or when they were thrown into the purple grade tests.
"I will and thank you for your kind words.." said King Zhou Luan as he cupped his fists in gratitude.
"Also you need to know the reason the spirit beasts around here didn't retaliate against your kingdom back then after the fight, despite wanting to is because of the interference of the fire adler bear's master.
She kept them at bay all this time. It's something worth pondering. I won't keep you long. I know your absence will be noticed if you stay here long..." Yang Qing said as he stood up.
Due to the shocking information Yang Qing just shared, the two had a slight delay in getting up as they processed the reveal.
"You should all be insightful people to realize why I just called you two. So I don't need to add more.." Yang Qin meaningfully said.
"We do.." the two answered with complex looks in their eyes.
"Good. I wish you two all the best in your endeavors. I'll have my senior send you back. Thank you for your time.." Yang Qing said as he cupped his fists toward them, who then reciprocated back as they gave their thanks too.
Immediately after Yang Qing used his palace sense to secretly communicate with the King.
"Imperial secretary He Shan told me about your grandfather. I promised to try and get the Order's help on the matter.
I will tell him of the results once I receive it.."
The King's body shook as his pupils constricted. Zhang Qishan noticed something was off as his gaze meaningfully fell on the king and Yang Qing.
He had detected slight fluctuations coming from Yang Qing and guessed there must have been something told to the king secretly.
The interest in his eyes was quickly shortlived as he too had a lot of information to process especially the matter with the badger which would likely excite his grandfather.
Ye Xun appeared an instant later and in typical fashion covered them in her domain space before they had a chance to finish on their goodbyes leaving Yang Qing with a wry smile.
