Chapter 288: Ambitions Are Booming And The Sword Is Aimed At Youzhou
Becoming the emperor of a dynasty has always been Lietao's lifelong dream. In this regard, he shares some similarities with Liehuan, both being obsessed with the imperial power and unable to extricate themselves. However, compared to Liehuan, he has a more ambitious drive.
Like Liemang, he also hopes to unify Yongzhou one day and become the person standing at the highest point.
As long as he can achieve that, he doesn't care what it takes.
"Thank you, Fa... Father!"
Lietao's eyes were burning.
Liemang didn't expect that his words would make Lietao change his mind so easily. He burst into laughter and patted Lietao's shoulder heavily, saying, "Good! As long as you and I, father and son, work together, there is nothing we can't accomplish. When we conquer Youzhou and capture other dynasties, you will ascend to the position of emperor. Then, let Liehuan see that even if you are not his son, you can still become a dominant power!"
Lietao was filled with excitement, his eyes shining. He was already fantasizing about the scene when he would meet his father in the future.
The once high and mighty emperor would have to bow his head to his son.
Satisfying!
After hesitating for a moment, Lietao asked, "Father, I have also learned about the situation in Youzhou. That Evergreen Alliance is very mysterious. In just a few years, they have eliminated the major dynasties that were in chaos for ten thousand years. I heard that they have a leader with a mysterious origin and immeasurable strength..."
Liemang sneered, "That ghostly place Youzhou can only produce a Self Union Heavenly Venerable at best. That so-called leader is probably just a Self Union Heavenly Venerable. After all, it's not easy to reach the Self Union stage in that kind of place. With our strength, capturing Youzhou is only a matter of time. Taoyou, you need to have a long-term vision. Occupying Youzhou is only part of our plan. When the time is right, our goal is to conquer Yongzhou. If we are scared off by the Evergreen Alliance, how can we achieve great things!"
Lietao immediately felt relieved and his confidence doubled with Liemang's words.
Liemang's strength had long been evident to him, and his abilities and ambitions were not comparable to Liehuan's. He wondered why his grandfather had passed the throne to Liehuan...
"Taoyou!"
Suddenly, a charming female voice came from the door. As the voice fell, a woman dressed in luxurious emerald palace attire walked in. Seeing the harmonious father and son, her expression became somewhat surprised.
This woman had a seductive appearance, fair skin like snow, and a towering chest. She exuded an elegant demeanor with a hint of charm. She was Lietao's mother, Lady Bihua.
With such beauty, it was no wonder that Liemang had been infatuated with her and committed beastly acts in the past.
Of course, even now, Liemang had no regrets about his actions. He was very satisfied with Lietao as his son.
"Mother!"
Lietao turned around and said.
Liemang also smiled, "Bihua is here!"
As he spoke, he reached out to hold her hand, but Lady Bihua calmly avoided it.
She didn't want to appear too intimate with the Southern King in front of her son.
It was one thing for her son to accept it, but she still harbored some resentment about what happened in the past. Moreover, she had just arrived here and immediately became affectionate with Liemang, which would make her seem too frivolous.
Liemang didn't mind either and laughed heartily, "Now that you and your son are here, my confidence is even stronger. What Liehuan couldn't do, I will do!"
Then, Liemang strode out and directly summoned the steward Chou Rang, saying, "You immediately gather people to investigate the details of the Evergreen Alliance. We shouldn't waste too much energy on a place like Youzhou. Since we're going to attack, we should do it in one go and completely take it over."
Chou Rang was not only his steward but also a general in the army, also a Self Union Heavenly Venerable. In the entire mansion, his authority was second only to Liemang.
"Yes!"
Chou Rang slightly bowed and then turned into a streak of light, shooting into the sky.

Golden Crow Domain.
Chou Rang and his group swiftly flew through the night sky, maneuvering through the clouds as their divine senses constantly scanned the area below.
"It's true that this ghostly place, Youzhou, is barren and desolate. We've explored tens of thousands of miles and the strongest we've encountered is only at the late stage of Divine Transformation. This place doesn't require the prince to personally take action. Just a group of us is enough to conquer it!" A cultivator wearing red spirit armor beside Chou Rang sneered.
Chou Rang glanced at him, furrowing his brow in contemplation.
He had a feeling that something was not quite right, but he couldn't pinpoint the problem. After all, the facts they saw were right in front of them.
Throughout their journey from Yongzhou, they had been using their divine senses to explore, but they hadn't even come across a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.
Indeed, a place like this didn't require the prince to personally take action.
"Everlasting Alliance... Hmph, ridiculous!" Another cultivator in green armor said, "This so-called alliance leader is probably just a nobody. It's possible that the information we heard before was intentionally spread by the Everlasting Alliance to make the surrounding dynasties hesitate..."
Chou Rang and his group landed on a hilltop, overlooking the distant city.
This was the former capital of the Golden Crow Dynasty, Golden Crow City.
"Let's go take a look. If there are no experts even here, then we don't need to worry about anything. We can immediately send troops back!" Chou Rang gave the order.
"Yes!" The cultivator in red armor nodded and quickly flew off.
Half a day later, the cultivator in red armor returned and cupped his hands, smiling, "Master Chou, I have thoroughly investigated the entire city. There is only one cultivator at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage guarding it, and there are less than ten at the Divine Transformation stage. It's simply a piece of cake!"
Smiles appeared on the faces of the group, and Chou Rang's furrowed brow relaxed as he nodded, "Let's go back and report to the prince. We'll start from here!"
The group quickly flew back along the same route.

Inside Golden Crow City, in the Everlasting Hall.
The teleportation array suddenly lit up, and figures walked out one by one, each with excitement and reminiscence on their faces.
"Lord Qixian is truly amazing. That Heaven-Connecting Spirit Sword, just thinking about it now is still awe-inspiring!"
"I think Fellow Daoist Qiming is even more impressive. Who can withstand that sea-like tide of swords?"
"Lord Qicha is the most formidable. He charges forward without hesitation, truly living up to his title given by the alliance leader!"
"..."
As the teleportation array continued to light up, more and more people arrived, discussing the previous Sword Dao Conference.
This grand event had added a lot of fun to their otherwise mundane cultivation lives. Not only did they meet many experts from other regions, but they also gained insights into the Sword Dao. It was truly a worthwhile trip.
Due to the departure of Wind Lord, Chu Yuankang had been promoted to the lord of the Golden Crow Domain. After walking out of the teleportation array, Chu Yuankang waved his hand with a smile, "Everyone, the Sword Dao Conference has come to an end. I believe you have all discovered your own shortcomings. I hope that you can learn from this conference, diligently cultivate, and bring glory to our Golden Crow Domain in the next conference!"
The crowd immediately shouted in excitement, "Please rest assured, Lord Chu. We will not disappoint your expectations!"

(Today I was delayed by something, I apologize. I can only hastily release three chapters. I owe two chapters, and I'll see if I can find an opportunity to make up for them later!)
