Chapter 236 The struggle for the throne has always been like this!
Seeing this, Shan Tianxie could probably guess what Hua Ruling was thinking.
It's simply that Hua Ruling originally intended to find Lu Xiaofeng.
As a result, Lu Xiaofeng has not returned yet, so he has no choice but to choose himself as the "backup plan".
Whether he has a backup plan or not doesn't matter; he doesn't really care about these empty titles. The benefits he actually receives are what really matter.
As long as Hua Ruling can offer him a price that satisfies him.
Taking on the task of making the Jade Buddha in the Vast Ocean wasn't a big deal.
It's just a matter of delivering something, so it's not troublesome at all.
Just as Shan Tianxie was about to agree,
A strange yet familiar mechanical voice rang in his ears.
[Ding! Villain System mission activated. A true man cannot be without power for a day; only by manipulating a country can one become a hero!]
The host can use the Jade Buddha of the Vast Ocean to manipulate the election for the throne of the Vast Ocean Kingdom, making the Vast Ocean Kingdom one of the host's subordinate forces.
Quest Reward: The Manual of the Three Swords of Avici Hell!
[Ding! The "Make Friends" system task has been activated. With more friends, you'll have more options. Who in the world wouldn't know you?]
Please help deliver the jade Buddha to the old king, thereby gaining the king's friendship.
Quest Reward – Shaolin Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenating Pill!
Even Shan Tianxie was momentarily stunned upon hearing this voice.
These two systems haven't been active for a long time.
I almost thought both of them had entered retirement mode.
So it turns out there weren't any suitable tasks available before.
However, to be fair, the villain system truly lives up to its name; even after its glorious retirement, it still manages to remain a villain system.
When it comes to issuing tasks, their appetite remains astonishingly large.
He's either tasked with instigating a bloody conflict among the Five Sacred Mountains, or, at the slightest disagreement, with controlling a nation and turning it into a subordinate force.
This is what it means to cultivate oneself purely as a villain.
In contrast, the other system takes a different approach, focusing on the masses and cultivating good relations with everyone.
But what if I want both rewards from the missions?
One is the Avici Hell Three Swords Manual, whose power in the original work surpasses even that of the Overlord of the World.
Guihai Yidao had only been practicing for a few months, plus the "three-fold increase in power upon entering demonic possession" rule.
It was able to hold its own against the Iron-Blooded Marquis, which shows its considerable power.
While it cannot be ruled out that Shenhou was not serious at all in order to preserve his strength, the power of his swordsmanship is evident.
And the Shaolin Great Rejuvenating Pill goes without saying; it invigorates the primordial yang, strengthens muscles and bones, warms the dantian, and benefits the spirit—all in one.
I'm really interested in the fact that it has the effect of strengthening yang...
It can not only treat most internal and external injuries, but also increase the user's skill.
If I could get my hands on it, it would be incredibly delicious!
The only problem now is how can I have it all?
In the blink of an eye, Dan Tianxie had a very bold idea.
If he returns the jade Buddha to the old king first, he can complete the task of the Great Elixir.
Then, if they seize the throne, support other princes to ascend to the throne, and manipulate the election for the throne of the Han Hai Kingdom, I wonder if that would be a viable option.
The idea had just popped into my head the instant it appeared.
[Ding! A true hero only cares about the result, not the process. ------ Villain System Retirement Version.]
Well...
Dan Tianxie instantly understood. Since Brother Tong had already put it this way...
It seems I have no choice but to go to the Kingdom of Han Hai!
To wield power over the world while awake, and to rest one's head on the lap of a beautiful woman while drunk—it doesn't sound too bad, does it?
After making up his mind, Shan Tianxie instantly changed his attitude and said with a smile.
"Senior Hua, I was just joking with you. You can rest assured and leave this to me!"
"Young Master Shan, I'm entrusting the Jade Buddha of the Vast Ocean to you."
Hua Ruling felt that her attitude had changed quite a bit.
However, upon hearing that Shan Tianxie had agreed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For him, as long as he could get rid of the hot potato that was the Hanhai Jade Buddha, nothing else mattered.
After all, it would be difficult to find any other suitable candidates to escort the Jade Buddha of the Vast Sea in the short term.
He had previously considered Jin Jiuling, the constable who was known as the successor of the Six Doors.
However, after careful consideration, I still felt that something was not quite right.
After all, Jin Jiuling was a member of the imperial court, so it was not as convenient for him to handle such matters as it was for someone from the martial arts world.
After the two confirmed their agreement, Hua Ruling handed the brocade box to Shan Tianxie and carefully gave him some instructions.
"Young Master Shan, you must be careful on this trip. I anticipate a struggle for the throne within the Han Hai Kingdom."
It must have reached the most critical moment, otherwise the Iron-Shoeed Thief wouldn't have risked his life to return to the world of martial arts.
"Yes, I know."
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie nodded, then accepted the Jade Buddha of the Vast Ocean and smiled, "The struggle for the throne has always been like this."
As a member of the royal family, one must either advance or retreat, or perish.
No one would choose to entrust their fate to someone else, gambling their life on someone else's kindness.
Now that the matter had been settled, Shan Tianxie went back to rest, preparing to set off for the Han Hai Kingdom early the next morning.
........
The next day, early in the morning.
After having breakfast, Shan Tianxie and the others prepared to set off for the Han Hai Kingdom.
It is worth mentioning that Mei Niansheng did not intend to go together, but suggested to Shan Tianxie and the others that they part ways.
According to him, after so many things, he planned to find a disciple with good character to pass on the Divine Illumination Scripture and the Liancheng Sword Technique.
Although the Liancheng Sword Technique had already been taught to Xiyu and Xia Xueyi.
But the two were ultimately still people of Bliss Valley, and could not bring glory to their family.
His martial arts skills, so refined and powerful, need to be passed on to someone.
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie expressed his understanding, but a mischievous thought also crossed his mind.
If I'm not mistaken, Mei Niansheng's next disciple should be surnamed Ding. His character is impeccable, but his luck is just too bad.
However, he didn't say much, only telling Mei Niansheng to be more careful in the future so that she wouldn't be poisoned again.
It's not good for a grandmaster to be constantly poisoned and ambushed.
Hua Manlou warmly escorted everyone to the outside of the mansion, until his receding figure completely disappeared at the end of the road, turning into blurry little black dots.
She turned her gaze away and looked at her father beside her, asking softly.
"Father, did you entrust the Jade Buddha of the Vast Ocean to Young Master Shan and his men for escort?"
"Yes, Not Bad."
Hua Ruling nodded slightly. What was there to hide from her own son?
"Now, apart from Lu Xiaofeng, Young Master Shan is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate."
"But... wouldn't this be too dangerous? I heard that even the Yagyu family from Japan has gotten involved."
Hua Manlou frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing across his face.
Although he had great confidence in Shan Tianxie's martial arts skills and wisdom, it was, after all, a matter involving the succession to the throne.
It's inevitable that he would worry about his friend. In Hua Manlou's heart, he already regarded Shan Tianxie as a good friend.
"Don't worry, the person who always follows Young Master Shan is no ordinary person."
As she spoke, Hua Ruling gazed into the distance, leaving behind a profound statement.
"Perhaps we should still worry about the Yagyu family."
