Chapter 88: High morale


    "No choice but war? Does that mean you''ve found the treasure?"


    Shaking his head towards Linxin, whose eyes were brightly shining from her son finding out about the valuable Yin treasure which even those from the Yin Plundering Sect were searching for, Bai Long said, "Yes, and no."


    "Huh?"


    "Yes, I found a vault which most likely holds a treasure. But, no, I don''t know if it is the same treasure we are searching for."


    Musing over what Bai Long said for a few seconds, Linxin asked the question she couldn''t think of an answer to.


    "If you''re not sure about what the treasure inside the vault is, is there really a need to go as far as dering war over the Zhu Kingdom?"


    "It is quite possible for you to be disappointed with what is inside that vault, after you win the war."


    Unintentionally smiling while remembering the vault''s door, Bai Long said, "Regardless of what is inside it, I most likely won''t be disappointed by it."


    "Why?"


    "The vault''s door is made with ck gold."


    "ck gold? No wonder."


    Nodding her head in realization, Linxin understood both about why Bai Long was so determined tounch a war, and why the Zhu Kingdom despite having so many years of foundation was the same as the Bai Kingdom in strength.


    "But... How do you think the citizens would react when they hear about the war?"


    "As long as the chaos I created in the pce spreads, we can use that to improve the morale of everyone, and make them more eager tounch a war than me."


    "Huh?"


    Linxin didn''t understand what the chaos Bai Long was talking about in that instant, but she did after two days passed.


    ...


    After Bai Long made his two Yin Puppets run around the pce and created such a hugemotion, it was impossible for even the King to try and keep it under wraps.


    Thus, the news of two masked intruders sneaking into the pce had spread like wildfire across the Zhu Kingdom, and even reached the Bai Kingdom within two days


    And by the time it reached the Bai Kingdom''s capital city, the news of two intruders sneaking into the pce, and escaping, turned into them entering the pce by breaking down the main doors, and almost killing the King before they escaped and left him near death.


    Sure the news was fake, but none of the people cared and even turned the news more saucy by adding even more fake additions like the two intruders r@ped various queens, the King was castrated, and so on.


    In fact, the most exaggerated one was that the King had already died, and it was his sessor who was keeping those facts a secret.


    Hearing all of this, Bai Long who made his Yin Puppets spread the original fake news of the King almost dying, felt very happy about how themon folk loved to twist the stories into their own liking.


    At the same time, he told Cao Ning to prioritize on this situation and im that it was their spies who almost seeded in killing the enemy king.


    And even though they failed, the Zhu Kingdom''s King was fatally wounded, and therefore this was the perfect time tounch a war against them and conquer the Zhu Kingdom!


    Repeating those exact same words, Cao Ning turned Bai Long''s words of the citizens being more interested in the war than them, true.


    It had nothing do with everyone being cruel humans who loved to see bloodshed, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions lose their lives.


    No.


    All it had to do with, was the greed that everyone felt.


    What would happen when one kingdom conquered another kingdom?


    Other than the obvious growth in the winning Kingdom''s size, strength, and influence, it was the people who would benefit the most after the royal family, and the nobles.


    Living in a stronger kingdom, brought not just the benefit of a higher ie, but also increased the avability of rare and precious cultivation resources which were sought by everyone.


    With these two benefits avable in case the Bai Kingdom won against the Zhu Kingdom, whose King was fatally wounded, why wouldn''t the gullible citizens cheer loudly and show their support?


    Hehehehehe...


    Chuckling from how easy it was to manipte information in this world which didn''t seem to anything such as socialworks, and long-distance calls, Bai Long looked towards Linxin who was smiling and enjoying everything that was happening.


    "Is everything ready, mother?"


    "If you''re talking about the array, then yes. There''s one big array drawn all around the capital city, and a small one in our room like you asked."


    Answering while feeling excited, Linxin had more or less guessed what the array her son surrounded the capital city in, did.


    "Great."


    Licking his lips in anticipation of how effective the array might be, Bai Long waited and watched Cao Ning address the citizens for a while longer and left towards his room.


    ...


    His room, our room, they were all the same.


    It was none other than the room Linxin used to use, before Bai Long moved in and began living with her in the same room.


    Entering the room where Zhenya was obediently cultivating with her eyes closed, Bai Long didn''t even need to speak a word, before Zhenya opened her eyes.


    "Master! I sensed that you arrived!"


    Rolling her eyes and tapping her nose, Linxin said, "More like smelled him. I could see your nose twitching from a mile away."


    Showing Linxin her tongue, as if saying bite me, Zhenya pointed towards a certain spot, and asked Bai Long with glittering eyes.


    "What does that array do, Master? I can sense a lot of Yin Qi surrounding it!"


    Without even needing to look at what Zhenya was pointing, Bai Long could already tell what it was.


    Zhenya was talking about the core part of the array he covered the capital city in.


    "That array is... "
