Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1711 - 460: The Best Gift, Lingering Aftereffects (5k)_3

I just don't know if this hair will grow back. Right now, he is quite calm, and the anger in his heart is turned into fuel, thrown into that blaze of fury.As he walked out of the small temple, Zhang, who had either been waiting nearby for a long time, knowing he would definitely show up here, or had just arrived, blocked Yu Ziqing as soon as he stepped out.

Zhang knew that his Majesty had definitely won, but it wasn't until he actually saw him that he truly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Ziqing followed Zhang and found a place to sit down, and Zhang then spoke.

"Your Majesty, there are many matters that you need to be aware of, or need to decide personally."

"Go ahead and speak."

"News has come from the South Sea Island that several deans from the Langya Institute and the Lihuo Institute, along with many others, have gone there to seek refuge.

This time it's not borrowing people but directly seeking refuge at the institute.

Whether to accept them or not, still requires your Majesty's decision.

Moreover, although the collision has ended, the aftermath has just begun.

After observation and speculation by several deans and other powerful figures, along with the news the East Sea Dragon Clan sent us,

The waves coming from the deep sea, which caused the tsunami in the East Sea, should now be approaching the East Sea coastline.

This won't affect our Dadui much,

But, the waves are too fierce. In about half a month, the fiercest wave of the tsunami might reach the South Sea Island.

The news from the South Sea is that they might be able to block it.

However, there might be other losses, and there are three plans that need your Majesty to decide on.

There's a third issue, a large number of refugees from West Qian want to enter Dadui.

Daqian is in complete chaos internally, with the new emperor's self-collapse and the old Emperor Qian having gone mad, leaving the throne emperor-less and more chaotic.

They still need to find a way to prevent those terrifying tsunamis extending along the entire coastline.

In West Qian, people have already begun shouting slogans and starting rebellions.

In some places, which were part of Dadui's former territories, there are people claiming that it was originally Dadui's territory and now they want to return to Dadui."

Zhang paused slightly, glanced at Yu Ziqing, and finally, with a hint of worry, said in a slightly concerned tone.

"And one more thing, your Majesty's identity might not be so easy to hide anymore.

Your Majesty has traveled across the land, across the Four Divine Dynasties, flames burning on your body, heading east all the way.

But, many people have seen this..."

Zhang lowered his head, hiding the uncontrollable joy in his eyes, nearly breaking into a beam of smiles.

He certainly couldn't shout this to the world and even needed to comply with Yu Ziqing's wishes, cleaning up the loose ends a bit.

But, this time, things were just too big.

Zhang thought to himself that he had no way to completely cover up the news. At the least, the other Divine Dynasties' emperors surely knew who Emperor Dui was.

And probably some powerful figures, eighty percent have also recognized who Emperor Dui is, maybe even seen him with their own eyes.

Zhang's long-awaited grand enthronement ceremony finally saw a bit of a headway.

Yu Ziqing took off his hood and couldn't help but touch his bald head.

The follow-up matters are truly plenty.

"For those seeking refuge at the institute, if their identities are fine, then take them in first.

As for how to block the tsunami, this kind of thing..."

"Your Majesty." Zhang called, interrupting Yu Ziqing somewhat rudely, yet not saying much else.

Yu Ziqing wanted to say, why are a pile of deans asking him about such professional matters?

But seeing Zhang's expression, Yu Ziqing's thoughts shifted.

"What are the three plans, let me see."

Zhang took out a Jade Scroll, Yu Ziqing glanced casually at it. It was a scroll given by Chu Ye, looking further at the plans, he instantly understood.

There are many new deans, and with many new people, the researcher title that had been haphazardly established is beginning to look like something, so some matters can't be handled as casually as before.

The three plans actually only have slight differences.

To protect the Big Island is no issue because the tsunamis have been propagating too far, and the power has been heavily reduced. By the time it reaches the South Sea Island, it isn't as strong anymore.

The three plans, either put in more manpower and effort, or put in more money and resources.

But this matter, letting Yu Ziqing decide, is about setting rules. It's also a bunch of deans observing Yu Ziqing's attitude and choices.

"Tell them, when it comes to matters concerning the existence of the Big Island, don't save anything. Combine the three plans and do your best to achieve the best, preferably flawless."

"Understood." Zhang took notes.

"As for West Qian's matters, discuss them with the Cabinet, bringing Jia Shiwu in, as he is the most familiar with Daqian's matters. Be prudent and don't rush."

The people of Dadui have returned from ancient times, and many hold feelings of lost territories in the east of Dadui, swallowed by Daqian, as if it happened just last year, not easily forgotten or let go.

Opportunistically, including Zhang, emotionally all would surely want to reclaim the lost land.

Whether or not to do it, and how, is a matter of practical execution, very complex.

West Qian is in such chaos, who knows if those shouting slogans really want to return to Dadui, or are just using it as a pretext to rebel. It's also unclear what the people living there truly think.

This kind of situation definitely cannot be rushed.

"Alright, that's it, with this mess, let Jia Shisi oversee Jiachen City lately."

Yu Ziqing didn't mention the matter of his exposed identity and directly left.

Zhang sat there, completing the record, sipping tea delightfully.

Not long after, Jia Shisi appeared across from him.

"Elder Zhang, are you really not going to do anything about this?"

"What can I do? Managing Dadui is already exhausting, how could I cover up the mess in Daqian? What, should I warn Emperor Li or Emperor Zhen to keep their mouths shut? Or warn those powerful figures?"

Zhang started laughing at his own words.

"..." Jia Shisi was a bit speechless.

"With your Majesty's current prestige, the materials prepared for the enthronement ceremony before are too low-key and need to be readjusted. Remember to oversee things in Jiachen City, don't hesitate, if killing is needed, do it. His Majesty surely doesn't wish to see chaos within Dadui."

Zhang hummed a little tune, leaving while holding his hands behind his back.

When the land was in a ruckus, from the endless deep sea, strands of black gas emerged from the seabed. Among the hidden and disappeared strangeness, actions began to unfold.

Some quietly infiltrated the New Continent, beginning to vie for new territories.

Others started attempting to spread beyond the deep sea, along the seabed, following the direction of the earth's currents.
