Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 840: Chapter 457: Reactions from All Sides_3

Nowadays, the various assessments of Chen Mu’s strength are fairly consistent. Even King Jin, Ji Xuanchu, basically recognizes that Chen Mu’s level is at least among the top three in current times, and it’s possible he might even be the best.

However.

In this era where the world is divided into nine parts, Chen Mu’s return to Da Xuan makes it difficult for anyone to discern whether it is good or bad.

Now, with King Han, Ji Xuanfei, seizing the throne and allying with King Liang, manipulating the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, Blood Hidden Pavilion, and other sect forces to control the structure of the Imperial Court, ruling the entire Central Prefecture and even the lands of Jingji Road, Chen Mu has deep-seated grievances with them. Given his character, he wouldn’t just ignore it. Even though Ji Xuanfei has ascended to the throne, it might not resolve their enmity, and he would be the prime target.

The issue lies in whether Chen Mu, amidst this chaotic world divided into nine, has the intention to cleanse the eight wildernesses, reestablish the Qiankun, and replace the Ji Family. With such a situation, the kingdom is unstable, and the tumultuous times are quite favorable for Chen Mu!

If Chen Mu has ambitions of establishing his own power, then even if he hates Ji Xuanfei intensely, he would still be compelled to ally with the other kings to protect the Ji Family’s reign. If Chen Mu merely seeks revenge, then he can simply watch Chen Mu and Ji Xuanfei fight each other.

“Ji Xuanfei is not incompetent to have claimed that position. Now he has also stepped into the Blood Exchange Realm, gradually mastering the millennium foundation of the Ji Family. Even though Chen Mu’s strength now dominates the world, he might not be able to do anything to him single-handedly.”

King Jin thought for a moment and decided it was best to watch a dragon-tiger fight and then make a decision.

After all, Chen Mu can cause great trouble for Ji Xuanfei. If he can eliminate forces like the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion and Blood Hidden Pavilion, it would also significantly weaken Ji Xuanfei’s control over the Imperial Court.

The only regret he had was that, although he maintained contact with the Qin Family in Yu State through his mother’s lineage, the connection was entirely severed when it came to Qin Mengjun.

He had tried to contact Qin Mengjun through the Qin Family but only received a response from Qin Mengjun.

‘Exiled for a hundred years, with a changed household, we are now strangers.’

The Qin Family was once punished with exile, moving from Central Prefecture to the remote Cold North. Over the years, they developed in Yu State, and later the branch that remained in Central Prefecture rose to power but never aided the Qin Family. It was only when King Jin ascended to the throne and sought to expand his influence that he reconnected with the Qin Family, showing some interest in the renowned Qin Mengjun of Cold North.

However, after Qin Mengjun was ambushed during her attempt to break through the Mysterious Pass, there was no further communication.

At that time, Qin Mengjun was wholeheartedly pursuing martial arts and was naturally uninterested in the Central Prefecture branch, including King Jin’s mother’s lineage. She paid no attention to King Jin’s hints either, especially after being ambushed. The King Jin’s lineage immediately reduced contact with the Qin Family, making her even more indifferent.

Some in the Qin Family cared about King Jin’s power and sought to attach themselves to the royal family. But Qin Mengjun, even without her past experiences, now a top martial arts expert in the Blood Exchange Realm, would not care about secular power at all.

King Jin wanted to use the Qin Family to win over Chen Mu, but it could only be done through Qin Mengjun. However, Qin Mengjun had no interest in this. Now that she had stepped into the Blood Exchange Realm, she was indifferent. The only path she pursued was the third step of Artistic Conception, Unity of Heaven and Man. As for King Jin and the Qin Family, they were just fleeting clouds in her eyes, not something she cared about.

Being unable to win over Chen Mu through Qin Mengjun was the greatest regret for King Jin.

After all, his actions in the past were inappropriate.

When Qin Mengjun was ambushed and her Mysterious Pass was damaged, even though he had abandoned thoughts of further contact with the Qin Family, just showing a little concern and sending one or two Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items for healing would have made communication with Qin Mengjun much easier now.
