Demon, don't come any closer!

Chapter 57 The Road to Dragon Conquest

Lin Fangmin has become famous.

It became an instant hit, causing a sensation throughout the world.

His book, "The Nine Crimes of the Great Chu," caused a sensation in the human realm and even spread throughout the entire Great Wilderness.

Humans are a large and powerful race, which naturally attracts attention. Now, the war between Qin and Chu is related to the situation in the human realm, and countless races are watching closely. Naturally, they have noticed Lin Fangmin, the audacious governor of the coastal prefecture.

The scathing denunciation of the Great Chu was exhilarating and thoroughly enjoyable to watch, but everyone knew that Lin Fangmin wouldn't live much longer.

Even though many powerful figures from the Great Chu Kingdom have already set off for the front lines, killing Lin Fangmin would be no problem at all.

Wait, this isn't right.

This is very wrong.

Lin Fangmin flew into a rage, slamming her fist on the table and spitting as she pointed at Dou Changsheng, demanding, "Why is only my name signed here? Where is the King?"

"You are the mighty King of Yue, raising your banner high and raising an army to punish Chu."

"He should have been famous throughout the land, a renowned rebel king of the Great Wilderness, but why hasn't he made a sound at all?"

Of course, it's because they're afraid of dying.

Dou Changsheng instantly gave himself the answer.

The proclamation to the world was not something Dou Changsheng wanted to do, but rather something the Black Ice Guard insisted on; there was no other way.

Naturally, they needed to find someone to take the blame, since this would attract the attention of the Great Chu, who saw it as a thorn in their side.

Lin Fangmin seemed to see through Dou Changsheng's little scheme, and said with a pained expression, "Your Majesty."

"By raising the flag of rebellion, you have offended the Great Chu, and the Great Chu will surely want to kill you as soon as possible."

"Do you think that by not signing your name, everything will be fine?"

"Anyone with a brain knows that you are the King of Great Yue and the leader of the rebels, so you should bravely stand up and reap the benefits of this fame."

Dou Changsheng shook his head and said, "This is different."

"This belongs to Da Wuqian, what does it have to do with my Da Yue?"

"Although my Great Yue rebelled against Chu, it was for the sake of restoring the country. Everything we did was based on law. Even if we went to the Holy Mountain and met the Ancestor of All Demons, I still have something to say."

"Our Dai Viet has existed for 38,000 years, and there is a good reason for it."

If he were to take this reputation, the Great Chu might send a top-tier expert to assassinate him, and Dou Changsheng would never dare to do so.

After all, the White Ape Sword Servant is all show and no substance, a paper tiger. He has no real power behind him. If the Great Chu were truly shameless, the Black Ice Platform would have fled long ago. Why would they have waged a bloody battle of the upper three ranks for him?

After all, this wave of hatred was too great; we simply couldn't handle it.

As long as he didn't issue the proclamation, his background becomes useful. If the upper three ranks don't engage in bloody battles, then the Black Ice Platform will definitely lend him a hand. Dou Changsheng is well aware of all the intricacies involved.

Having first absolved himself of responsibility, Dou Changsheng then spoke up to comfort him, saying, "Brother."

"Don't panic, there's no use in panicking."

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Now that you're genuinely helping me, how could I possibly abandon my older brother?"

"Am I, Dou Changsheng, that kind of person?"

"If all else fails, I have connections. I'm good friends with a high-ranking official of the Sun and Moon Demon Court. You can go hide on the Holy Mountain for two years. Does the Great Chu dare to hunt you down there?"

"If you don't want to go to the Holy Mountain, the Spirit Clan is fine too; I have connections there."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, my elder brother, that my Great Yue spans two races. Even if one day we can no longer survive in the human realm, we can retreat to the Spirit Race's Great Swamp. It can be said that we can advance or retreat as needed."

"The imperial decree from the Sun and Moon Demon Court will arrive soon. Once we have official status, our future will be limitless."

"I will carve out a piece of territory in Da Yue and let my elder brother establish Da Wu. Then we Wu and Yue will fight together. If it really doesn't work, we will bring Zhao, Wei and other countries along."

"We have gone into exile overseas and gained the support of powerful clans. When the time comes, it will be as easy as taking candy from a baby to launch a counterattack on the mainland."

"Hey bro, what kind of look is that?"

"Sigh, I understand, after all, you guys are too narrow-minded."

"Those who do not understand me are willing to give everything for the sake of peace for all races, even if the world misunderstands and does not comprehend me, I will continue on my path."

Lin Fangmin was completely dumbfounded. Was this even human language?

That bastard Dou Changsheng has actually colluded with foreign tribes; it's terrifying.

That's absolutely terrifying.

Lin Fangmin realized she had been tricked, and this was not only life-threatening, but also meant her entire clan would have to go down the same road with her.

He couldn't help but say, "We're not building this Great Wu."

"We, the people of Da Wu, have always been subjects of Da Yue, and it is good to be ruled by Da Yue."

"There's no need to cede territory. None of this concerns me. I've never even heard of it. No, just pretend I was never here."

Lin Fangmin abruptly stood up, turned around and left, looking somewhat disheveled. Dou Changsheng went forward to grab her but couldn't catch her, and couldn't help but sigh.

Good people are always lonely because the world misunderstands them too much.

Looking at Leng Ming, who stood motionless to the side like a statue.

This was the first time Dou Changsheng had seen the Spirit Race. Their skin was ice-blue, the same color as their hair, but otherwise they were no different from humans. This relieved Dou Changsheng, because if they looked strange, it would definitely have a bad influence.

Nowadays, it's just a difference in skin color. The human world is so vast, it's normal to have some differences. Besides, there's frequent interaction among different races, so there's no such strong reaction as when ancient people saw black people.

He turned to Leng Ming and asked, "When did your tribe migrate to the human realm?"

"Will you set aside a territory specifically for it, or will you live alongside the humans?"

Leng Ming calmly said, "The migration of the tribe is not urgent. Now that we have come to the human realm, we have not accomplished anything, and we should not accept rewards without merit."

"And that Lin Fangmin from earlier, he's very dishonest. He's secretly poisoned someone."

"I don't know much about Human Realm Poison, and I don't know what it's called, but I can guess its general effects. It should be a kind of poison that lies dormant for a long time and constantly squeezes out potential. It's very good at first, and your strength will increase very quickly, but later you will face the consequence of damage to your foundation and no further progress in your martial arts cultivation."

Dou Changsheng was not angry. Instead, he praised Leng Ming and said, "The Spirit Clan's Water Spirit is skilled in alchemy and poison making, and is also proficient in medicine. She truly lives up to her reputation."

"With you behind me, I feel at ease."

He couldn't help but curse Lin Fangmin in his heart. Sure enough, she had poisoned him. But it wasn't a big deal. After all, Dou Changsheng had taken no less than ten kinds of poison to get where he was today.

Zhao Gao has been there, Sun Duxiu has been there, and even the fierce tiger has been there, and not just once.

There must be others that haven't been discovered yet, but now there's just one more, Lin Fangmin. What's the big deal?

Not at all.

Too many people don't want him to pursue martial arts; controlling people with poison is too convenient.

Even Leng Ming poisoned her, but he just didn't say it.

I have many talented people under my command, but none of them are good. The reason I've gotten this far is purely because I, Dou Changsheng, am good at making empty promises.

As long as there are enough forces involved.

Then you won't die.

We still have to climb step by step to the top.

It's time to prepare to condense dragon energy and officially embark on the path to conquer the dragon.
