Chapter 470: Mei Fanghua Causes Trouble
Tang Rao was somewhat conflicted about whether he should release these videos.
If he did release them, he could definitely disgust Mei Fanghua thoroughly. But that disgust would likely be superficial, and the harm it would cause Mei Fanghua should be limited.
"Let's not rush, let's take it slow," Tang Rao calmed the hatred in his heart.
It wasn't yet time to drive Mei Fanghua to a dead end completely.
These videos must be used at the critical moment, preferably to deliver a fatal blow to Mei Fanghua. Even if not fatal, a critical hit would suffice.
In the palace, Mei Fanghua leaned on her chair, propping her head with her arm, gently massaging it.
Too many things had happened recently.
The appearance of Tang Rao, the death of Bai Ze, the death of Zi Qiang, and now even Tu Sheng's betrayal.
Ever since Tang Rao appeared, everything had started going wrong, everything had become unfavorable for her.
Even if Mei Fanghua was foolish, she had already sensed something was amiss. Whether it was the deaths of Bai Ze and Zi Qiang or the betrayal by Tu Sheng, it seemed like there was a hand manipulating things behind the scenes.
And the manipulator, without even thinking, must be Tang Rao.
This guy had already started taking his revenge.
"Damn Tang Rao, why can't you just disappear!" Mei Fanghua was extremely angry in her heart. If it hadn't been for Chen Ajiu using the Reincarnation Technique to save Tang Rao at the last moment, none of this trouble would have occurred.
"Chen Ajiu!" Mei Fanghua gritted her teeth.
Women are like that; their hatred always links from one to another, then amplifies endlessly.
Just like if she detests your infidelity, then she will despise the woman involved with you, and then even hate that woman's parents, and eventually, she might even start hating the relatives, neighbors, friends of the other woman…
In the end, she might end up resenting the entire world.
Of course, what Mei Fanghua was most worried about right now was the Soul Capture Pavilion.
Having killed two members of the Soul Capture Pavilion holding Judge Orders, the matter could be considered severe or minor. If it's not discovered, then it's nothing.
But if it is confirmed, there could be serious trouble.
With Qin Sheng around, her life should not be in danger, but she could definitely forget about continuing as the ruler of the Central Emperor Realm.
Without the status of the ruler of the Central Emperor Realm, what should she do then? There would likely be countless people looking to seek revenge on her. Especially Tang Rao, this guy definitely wouldn't let her off the hook.
"People!" Mei Fanghua straightened up a bit, then shouted out.
Immediately, someone entered from outside the hall.
The man walked in briskly, his presence extremely fierce. His strength was also quite formidable, at the peak of crossing tribulations.
"An Long, give the order to assemble the cultivators from various departments outside Blue Star," Mei Fanghua instructed.
An Long was slightly taken aback.
"Is the king planning to wage war against Blue Star?" An Long asked.
"Whether we wage war or not, let's force Tang Rao out first. I can't rest easy as long as he lives," Mei Fanghua stated, realizing only then that in order to feel relieved, she must eliminate Tang Rao first.
Now with Tang Rao lurking in the shadows, God knows what this guy is up to every day.
With Tang Rao's cunning nature, one day he might just trick her to death.
"Understood, my King, leave this matter to me and rest assured," An Long said with a grin, frankly, he couldn't wait any longer.
"Not too many people are needed, but they must be strong. Gather all the peak-level cultivators capable of crossing tribulations. If Tang Rao doesn't show up, I'll destroy that Blue Star." Mei Fanghua said coldly.
She had completely lost her patience.
"Actually, speaking of it, Mei Fanghua was also tricked by Bai Ze. If Bai Ze hadn't suggested holding off on attacking Blue Star, Tang Rao wouldn't have had so much time to make arrangements.
Now that the defense of Blue Star is mostly deployed, Mei Fanghua making a move now has already lost the initiative.
...
Tang Rao didn't expect Mei Fanghua to suddenly make a move; he only found out from the message Yan Wei sent from Illusion City.
Mei Fanghua directly gathered fifty thousand cultivators, standing by outside Blue Star.
However, Tang Rao wasn't in a hurry to return; he believed Mei Fanghua was probably trying to force him out. If he didn't show up, Mei Fanghua likely wouldn't rush to act.
In any case, since Mei Fanghua was not around, Tang Rao first stirred up some trouble—damn it, you're messing with Blue Star? Fine, let Lao Hei give you a taste too.
After finishing the arrangements, Tang Rao left with Wu Tianhei and Wu Tianming, as these two guys now completely trusted him.
"Lao San, are we heading to Blue Star?" Wu Tianming asked.
"Yeah," Tang Rao nodded.
"Damn it, we're finally leaving that shitty place. Lao San, you don't know, I almost died of boredom these past few days!" Wu Tianhei chuckled.
People, once they set their mind to something, become more and more vigorous in their pursuit.
"We're almost there, don't worry, I also have some connections over there," said Tang Rao.
"Holy crap, Lao San, you're awesome!" Wu Tianhei exclaimed.
"Of course, I wouldn't dare to go without some connections," Tang Rao responded with a laugh.
...
Above Blue Star, cultivators above the level of the Opening Light period all raised their heads to look up, those with lesser strength couldn't see.
The scene was just like the descent of the heavenly soldiers and generals from "Journey to the West".
"Tang Rao, come out!" Suddenly, an immensely majestic voice swept through.
Although those with weaker abilities couldn't see, they could hear.
The whole world could hear it.
"I am An Long from the Seventy-two Domains of the Central Emperor Realm. Tang Rao, come out and face your death swiftly!" An Long continued roaring.
Beside him, Mei Fanghua's gaze shifted, then she briefly informed An Long.
An Long nodded, then roared again: "I give you one hour. If you don't show up, we, fifty thousand Mahayana cultivators, will directly destroy your Blue Star!"
With those words, everyone was stunned.
The Seventy-two Domains from the Nine Realms had finally arrived, but they came with malicious intent—they wanted to destroy Blue Star.
...
In Tiandu, at the headquarters of Special Ninth Department, high officials from all nations immediately started a meeting.
In the conference room, all the national leaders were present. On the table's holographic display, images of leaders from various countries were projected.
In such a situation, only the heads of states were qualified to make decisions.
"I believe, handing over Tang Rao is the best solution," said the Prime Minister of Wuluo Country, "It's unwise to wage war with the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains. Besides, they are only looking for Tang Rao. It's better to let him bear the responsibility alone."
"I agree!" Several national leaders immediately expressed their stance.
In the conference room, one big brother ignored these people and looked towards the allied nation's President Mr. Ao.
"Mr. Ao, what do you think about this matter?" Big brother asked.
"About this, I think it's better to ask Mr. Tang Rao himself. He is the involved party, we can ask for his opinion. If he is willing to take the responsibility alone, that would naturally be the best. If not, we can talk further," Mr. Ao said.
Big brother frowned slightly. Although Mr. Ao didn't specifically say it, his intention was quite clear—he also favored letting Tang Rao bear the responsibility, just in a more tactful way.
A typical case of abandoning a used millstone when the weather turns sunny.
