Regarding the Jingjiu Dynasty and himself, Shen Hao has a gradually evolving psychological state.
From the very beginning, Jingjiu Dynasty was similar to a "place of residence" in Shen Hao's mind. After going through various experiences, it became a place with "a sense of belonging", and now it is "my home in this world". In fact, there is a context to be found, and it is also a simultaneous change as Shen Hao integrates into the world, marries a wife and has children.
But this is only for the country of Jingjiu Dynasty, not for the royal family of Jingjiu Dynasty.
In Shen Hao's eyes, the royal family and the emperor were at most rulers, and had nothing to do with "respect" or "following". Just like the stall owner at a meat pie stall. Would you respect the stall owner just because you bought a meat pie?
Of course, Shen Hao needed to maintain the necessary respect for the emperor's majesty and the power of the world in his hands. After all, in the Jingjiu Dynasty, you can't just think about playing by the rules from the beginning, otherwise you won't be able to get away.
Isn’t there an old saying that goes, “Before you become a big boss yourself, you’d better follow the rules honestly.”
Has Shen Hao become a big boss now?
If Qing Chi was still protecting Jing Jiuchong, Shen Hao, now a fifth-level monk in the Xuanhai Realm, would not be considered a real boss and would have to continue to live with his tail between his legs. But now that Qingchi is gone, the fifth level of the Xuanhai Realm is no match for the old Jing Dynasty, let alone Shen Hao, a fifth-level Xuanhai Realm whose soul strength is ridiculously high. He calls himself a "big brother" Barely able to stand.
So now Shen Hao can find some off-board tricks outside the rules to achieve his goals.
As for why it is necessary to stabilize or increase the power of Jingjiu Dynasty. This is actually very simple, because Shen Hao's current vested interests are based on the stability of the Jing Dynasty. Otherwise, if the old Jing Dynasty dies, even if he can come and go freely, it will be a loss. It's like you are a VIP in a store and can enjoy all the top services for free. Suddenly the store is demolished. You can leave safely, but the services you should have enjoyed will no longer be available.
The plan proposed by Nie Yun quickly fermented in Shen Hao's heart, and soon replaced his original plan.
It seems good to wait for the two super sects to decide the outcome of the major sects and then reap the benefits, but for the current Jingjiu Dynasty, there are still considerable hidden dangers.
Fenghong Villa, whose strength has plummeted after losing the Blood Armor Technique, is likely to pay a heavy price due to the cooperation of the super sects who have slowed down, and may even be dragged into the quagmire and fall into chaos. This is an aspect that Shen Hao has not extended and thought about before.
Getting rid of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect seems to be the most appropriate way. But if you want to achieve this, you cannot rely on Fenghong Villa, because today's Fenghong Villa does not have that ability.
But in fact, even if Fenghong Villa had the ability, Shen Hao would not go looking for them, because fighting two super sects to the death, how much would the loss be? It's not cost-effective either.
It is still necessary to find a method that is safe and does not cost too much. For example, ask Bai Wu for help.
If there is anyone in this world who can crush forces like Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect, then there is only Bai Wu left.
And now Bai Wuke is much stronger than Qingchi and Lang Sanke before. Not only was his soul healed, but he also received the buffs from the Eyeless Beast Ancestor. The souls that swallowed Qingchi and Langsan were strengthened and fused, and he now had the repaired body of the three-eyed evil beast, which might even be made of the ones left by Qingchi. That part of the body of destiny has evolved.
Shen Hao didn't know exactly how strong it was, but Shen Hao was sure that Bai Wu at this time must be more powerful than the real evil beast he devoured back then.
When they first separated, Bai Wu said that his recovery would not take long. But now more than half a year has passed, and Bai Wu has disappeared in the city of fusi. Shen Hao judged that Bai Wu would not have any accidents, and that there should be some breakthrough in his physical body, so he was delayed.
If Bai Wu can be brought in, there should be no problem with force. Not to mention Yang Wanli and Zhou Yankong, the eighth level of the Xuanhai Realm. Even if they were at the Xuanhai Realm, they would never be able to defeat Bai Wu, who had surpassed his peak strength, no matter what treasure he held.
But the question is how to let Bai Wu officially participate without affecting the current structure of the Jingji Dynasty, including the sect circle?
Invite as a private person? Or should we find a new identity?
Or a combination of both?
As for the outside world's views on Shen Hao. He doesn't need to worry too much now. Regardless of whether it is the emperor or Yang Xiu Sheng, except for his two masters, he can listen to whatever he wants or not if he doesn't want to, as long as he maintains a basic face. This is the convenience of being a "big boss" nowadays.
Bai Wu is now in the city of Wansi, and he has borrowed the shell of "Bai Gu" to live in the Zhengyang Sect. But Shen Hao didn't think Bai Wu was suitable to inherit the identity of "Bai Gu" and participate in this matter. Because once the identity of "Bai Gu" is activated, it is equivalent to dragging the forces of Wusi City into it, which is definitely not a good thing. Compared with the chaos in the sect circles within the Jingjiu Dynasty, which was still controllable, when the people from Wusi City were involved, it would be uncontrollable, or even completely out of control. This is unacceptable to Shen Hao.
Therefore, Bai Wu cannot participate in the plan as the city of Fusi. So what is the basis for handling this matter?
Or make one now? Shen Hao shook his head. The current version was too abrupt and too fake. Moreover, how could Shen Hao, in his private capacity, move his heart to a peerless strong man who could crush two super sects? Why didn’t anyone know about this peerless powerhouse before? There is no such thing!
After pondering for a while, Shen Hao's eyes lit up. He almost forgot about a scam he and Bai Wu had pulled together. The original intention was to deceive Qingchi and Langsan into rushing to the underground palace to die. Now that the matter is over, the scam is still there. Can it still be used?
Shen Hao soon made up his mind. The plan proposed by Nie Yun could reveal another identity of Bai Wu that had long been speculated by the outside world but had never been confirmed, and it could also turn the scam he and Shen Hao had concocted into a "fact." And in this case, Shen Hao would have a reason to invite such a peerless powerhouse. There may even be benefits such as suppressing various covetous effects on Jing Jiu due to his weakness in the future.
However, just having this idea is not enough, the details must be filled in as much as possible. For example, in terms of appeasing the old dynasty, a preparation needs to be made in advance.
For another example, Bai Wu had to go to the City of Fusi and discuss it face to face with Shen Hao. As for whether Bai Wu would agree, Shen Hao was still certain. At worst, he would take the part of Qingchi's destiny body that was previously allocated to him as a reward. Bai Wu probably wouldn't refuse.
