Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Chapter 645: Keeping a thief for your own benefit

Above the clouds.

Zhao Mu took out the Human Desire Heart Lamp, quietly feeling the worldly desires flowing out of it and constantly sinking into his body.

"I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise this time." He smiled.

In fact, he didn't have the idea of ​​showing up to meet the third prince today, after all, the two sides didn't know each other.

But he didn't expect that just now in Li Laosan's courtyard, when the third prince and others approached, the Human Desire Heart Lamp suddenly produced a strong induction.

This induction is much stronger than that of Li Laosan and others, indicating that the desire in the heart of the third prince is far greater than that of Li Laosan and others.

It's also true that the third prince is chasing the most honorable throne in the world, and his ambition and desire are of course far stronger than ordinary people.

But Zhao Mu had seen other princes and kings before, but those people had never made the Human Desire Heart Lamp produce induction.

So when he first met the third prince three days ago, Zhao Mu didn't think of meeting him.

But I didn't expect that just now, the Human Desire Heart Lamp actually had a response, and it was unprecedentedly strong, so Zhao Mu showed up to talk, so that he could have an intersection with the third prince.

And the result was also surprising. After having an intersection with the third prince, the Human Desire Heart Lamp's absorption speed of worldly desires was actually directly increased several times, which was a leap-forward growth.

But until now, Zhao Mu couldn't figure out why the Human Desire Heart Lamp didn't have a response to other princes and princes. What was so special about the third prince?

"If I could figure out the trick, now those princes and princes, everyone wants to compete for the throne. If I go to fleece them one by one, wouldn't it be possible to speed up the absorption of worldly desires by hundreds or thousands of times?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Mu spread out his palm and saw a hair in his palm.

This hair was naturally the third prince's. He had just taken it from the third prince's head while no one was paying attention.

With this hair, he could use the Hun Tian Ji to keep an eye on the changes on the third prince's side.

In the following days, Zhao Mu still traveled around the world leisurely.

Unlike his ease and comfort, the days of the powerful people in the court were extremely miserable every day.

As time passed, the fights between the princes and the princes became more and more intense, forcing the court officials to join in, either actively or passively.

In fact, everyone understands that the current situation is not clear, and it is not good to stand in line too quickly.

But if you don't stand in line, others will not agree.

The current situation is that if you don't choose a prince or a prince as a backer, you can't survive in the court at all.

Having a backer can at least make others consider it, but if you don't have a backer, you will be suppressed by all forces, and you will not be able to live in peace even if you resign.

Even if you take refuge with a prince or a prince, you still have to worry every day.

Because you are afraid that the person you take refuge with will be liquidated by others if he doesn't become the emperor in the future?

This kind of life of constant anxiety even made many dignitaries feel that it was meaningless to live like this, and it would be better to just end their lives.

The internal struggles in the court were fine, but the outside world was also a worry.

Three months ago, Prince Jing had led his army to the Hanfeng Plain to fight against the remnants of the Demon Cult there.

At the beginning, Prince Jing's victory news made the masters in the court feel relieved, thinking that the remnants of the Demon Cult were just like that.

So many people suggested that the military funds for the other side should be reduced to prevent Prince Jing from becoming too powerful?

After all, Prince Jing had been away from the power center for many years and was not from the same faction as anyone.

But just when the court was about to pass a resolution to reduce military funds by 30%, a war report suddenly came from the Hanfeng Plain-

Sun Miaoniang, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared in the Hanfeng Plain and led the remnants of the Demon Cult to launch a counterattack. They were unstoppable all the way, causing heavy losses to Prince Jing's army.

In the war report of Prince Jing, he requested the court to increase military funds and continue to send troops to reinforce, otherwise there would be a danger of complete defeat.

This news immediately made the powerful and noble gentlemen in power even more upset.

Although there had been speculations about the appearance of Sun Miao Niang, when she really appeared, the court still felt a faint fear.

Fortunately, according to the description in Prince Jing's military report, Sun Miao Niang seemed to have a problem with her cultivation, so that her cultivation level, which was originally in the immortal realm, actually dropped to the saint.

No one doubted this too much.

Because Sun Miao Niang's cultivation level had improved too quickly before, that kind of abnormal improvement speed would cause problems sooner or later, and everyone had expected it.

What is more fortunate is that at the critical juncture when the court army was retreating step by step, Prince Jing actually broke through on the battlefield and entered the saint realm, so he barely blocked Sun Miao Niang's offensive.

Although the timing of Sun Miao Niang's appearance was a bit coincidental!

Although Prince Jing's breakthrough in cultivation level was also a bit coincidental!

But... the court had to change the reduction plan and increase the reinforcements for Prince Jing.

Because none of the masters in the court dared to go to Hanfeng Plain in person to face Sun Miaoniang, even if the other party had problems with their cultivation.

They could only put their hopes on Prince Jing, hoping that the other party would take the opportunity to completely wipe out Sun Miaoniang.

The war in Hanfeng Plain was in full swing, and the internal struggle in the court was also extremely fierce.

In a trance, another three years had passed.

In the past three years, Prince Jing did not succeed in wiping out Sun Miaoniang. Instead, the two sides fell into a stalemate. Today you took one of my cities, tomorrow I took two of yours, and the day after tomorrow you took it back.

With Prince Jing's repeated military reports and requests for assistance, the court's assistance became greater and greater, and the army under Prince Jing's command also increased.

But the remnants of the Demon Cult were as stubborn as stones in a toilet, smelly and hard, and could never be completely wiped out.

Of course, it's not that no one suspected that Prince Jing was raising thieves for his own benefit.

But the court sent several groups of people to investigate, both openly and secretly, and the replies they received were all that Prince Jing was indeed fighting the Demon Cult with all his strength, and the two sides killed each other in a bloody battle, with corpses everywhere.

Even Prince Jing himself had fought with Sun Miao Niang several times and almost died on the spot.

With such a response, the masters in the court really couldn't find fault with Prince Jing.

And they didn't dare to reduce the military aid to Prince Jing, for fear that if Prince Jing was completely defeated and was beaten all the way to Lieyang City by Sun Miao Niang, it would be a real disaster.

Just when the court began to discuss whether to send a powerful and influential person to the Cold Wind Plain as a military supervisor to hold Prince Jing hostage to prevent any accidents.

Suddenly, a terrifying news came from the military report - Sun Miao Niang began to devour the cultivation of the criminals in the Cold Wind Plain to accelerate the recovery of her own strength.

This news immediately frightened the masters again.

Once Sun Miao Niang's cultivation is restored, whoever goes will die.

So after shirking responsibility, the court could only send a military supervisor with little weight. As for how much effect it can play in the end, no one cares.
