Instigate Wei Teng to kill Ying Wuji!
Or instigate Ying Wuji to kill Wei Teng!
Once this plan succeeds, it is highly likely that Luo Yan and the Wei family will sever ties!
This is truly a ruthless plan. Not only will it cause conflict between Kingdom Qian and Kingdom Li, but it will also create chaos within Kingdom Li itself, diverting their attention from Flame Kingdom. At least it will buy Flame Kingdom five years of respite. Moreover, if Ying Wuji dies, Kingdom Qian's financial resources will also suffer a heavy blow.
If I can succeed, not only will this failure be erased, but I might even gain great achievements and compete for the position of the Crown Prince.
But the problem is...
Ji Su's facial muscles twitched slightly, and his emotions had reached an extreme state of unrest. "But if it is discovered that it was me, and the war between Kingdom Qian and Flame Kingdom reignites, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the ancestral tomb!"
Han Xie smiled faintly. "Do my plans still not put you at ease, Lord Su?"
"Well..."
Ji Su fell into contemplation. Han Xie's plan was quite ingenious. As long as he didn't make any major mistakes, he shouldn't be exposed. Moreover, with the upcoming grand event in a few days, where elites from various families would gather, even the recent activities of our sect have increased significantly. It is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.
But the problem now is not the success rate, but rather the consequences if he fails, which he cannot bear.
He gritted his teeth. "Let me think about it again!"
Han Xie didn't rush him. "There's no hurry, Lord Su can consider it carefully. But don't take too long, because the grand event is the best time to take action. Once it's missed, there won't be another chance!"
Ji Su squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. "I understand!"
Han Xie smiled faintly. "Then I'll take my leave and await good news from Lord Su!"
"I'll see you off!"
After seeing Han Xie off, Ji Su went straight back to his room, constantly pondering over the plan he had just heard.
His heart was moved!
Truly moved!
Mainly because his mistake this time was too outrageous. Even if Kingdom Qian obtained these documents and couldn't solve their financial problems, it would still give them a big relief.
If he couldn't find another way to make up for his mistake, he was afraid that the royal family would give up on him.
This plan was his opportunity, but as long as he failed, it would almost certainly be a death sentence. He couldn't make up his mind.
Just then, a deep voice sounded.
"Lord, the communication symbol is lit!"
"What!"
Ji Su's heart sank. This voice belonged to the embassy supervisor, responsible for monitoring the embassy's every move and controlling the use of all communication symbols.
The fact that the communication symbol was lit meant that the Flame King already knew everything happening here.
This was too fast!

Ji Su's expression turned ugly, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "Here it comes!"
Fifteen minutes later.
Ji Su changed into a dignified robe and appeared in the embassy's conference hall. He injected a trace of true energy into the suspended communication symbol, and in an instant, a red light filled the air, slowly condensing into the image of a middle-aged man.
"You bastard!"
Even before the illusion fully formed, the scolding arrived first. "Although Flame Kingdom may be weak, I, as the ruler, am still considered a leader of revival. How did I end up with such a stupid donkey like you? If I had known, I would have drowned you in a chamber pot.
You are a prince of a country, consuming so many resources, yet you only reached the 11th level of Qi Condensation. You've consumed so much, but it all comes out as shit?
Even a beast, after consuming all these resources, can become a fierce beast, right? Why are you such a waste? Comparing you to Ying Wuji, that ultimate waste, is like comparing a normal person to him.
I won't even mention your cultivation level. After all, you boasted about having business talent, but what have you achieved?
You spent money trying to destroy Kingdom Qian's industries, but what happened? The more money you spent, the more money Kingdom Qian earned! If I let you stay in Kingdom Li for a few more years, Kingdom Qian would become the richest among the vassal states.
Ah?
If you didn't look so much like me, I would really think you were Ying Yue's offspring. How could a spy do such things if he wasn't? But you look so much like your father, yet you do things completely differently. I've even sacrificed my own comfort for your grandfather without changing my diaper. For decades, I haven't done anything as pathetic as you!
Truly a waste! How do you plan to solve this matter?"
After scolding, the Flame King was still panting heavily, not having fully vented his frustration. But he had run out of words, so his frustration grew even more. He regretted starting his political career too early and not studying properly.
Ji Su knelt on the ground, and the Flame King's short 300-word rant had added more than a dozen pimples to his face.
He felt suffocated, but he could only raise his head and show a pleasing expression. "Father, please forgive me!"
"Forgive you? I forgive your mother!"
The Flame King was furious. "Truly a waste! When I scold you, all you know is to present your face. Can't you fight back and slap me in the face? Let me tell you the truth, the royal family now has grievances against you.
In this month, condense a third-grade Spirit Embryo, seize a hundred families' fortune, or destroy Kingdom Qian's industries. You must accomplish at least one of these three things, otherwise pack up and return to Flame Kingdom. I have many sons, I can easily replace you. I can't afford to lose face for our old Ji family as Kingdom Qian rises!"
"Return to Flame Kingdom!"
Ji Su was startled. "What will I do after returning to Flame Kingdom?"
The Flame King spat. "Mu City is not bad, I'll give you a fief there!"
Mu City!
Ji Su's face immediately turned pale. Mu City was a small city on the border between Flame Kingdom and Kingdom Qian. It had no resources and was constantly at risk of war with Kingdom Qian. In the past hundred years, it had fallen into Kingdom Qian's hands three times, and each time, many nobles were killed.
Going to Mu City was no different from being exiled.
But... condensing a third-grade Spirit Embryo in a month, seizing a hundred families' fortune, or destroying Kingdom Qian's industries, which one could he possibly accomplish?
Ji Su panicked. "Father..."
"I've given you opportunities before!"
The Flame King clearly had no intention of listening to his explanation and directly cut off the communication.
Ji Su plopped down on the ground, his face ashen, his mind blank. Had his future been ruined like this?
He had endured humiliation and carried heavy burdens in Kingdom Li for so many years. Was he really worthless? If he had known, he should have drowned himself in a chamber pot!
For a while, he was enveloped in despair and powerlessness.
After a long time, he regained some ability to think.
He looked up at the supervisor and said in a trembling voice, "Uncle Seven, I want to cultivate the Nine Flame Pulse!"
The Nine Flame Pulse was a secret technique of exchanging life for strength and talent. It was a secret not passed down by the Ji family of Flame Kingdom.
As the name suggests, the Nine Flame Pulse fused nine different flames into the meridians. As long as the power of the fire attribute true energy was successfully increased, its power would increase by more than four times. It was not impossible to break through to the third-grade Spirit Embryo within a month.
The Nine Flame Pulse was extremely domineering, but the Ji family's third-grade Spirit Embryo was extremely rare, not because of anything else, but simply because the death rate was too high.
Fire attribute true energy was inherently domineering, and practitioners were bound to have a fiery temper.
The Nine Flame Pulse took this domineering path to the extreme, and if the true energy lost control even slightly, the meridians would be burned to death.
This was forcing the most hot-tempered person to cultivate their temperament, commonly known as... temperature control!
The supervisor couldn't help but give Ji Su another look. "Cultivating the Nine Flame Pulse is a matter of life and death. Can you control your temper?"
Ji Su pointed to the pimples on his face and smiled bitterly. "During this period, I found that I can endure a lot! If I can't cultivate in Kingdom Li, then perhaps no one in the Ji family can."
The supervisor: "..."
That actually makes sense!
Among all the vassal states, Kingdom Li is the one that Flame Kingdom needs to consider the most. Ji Su has lived a very miserable life, and the supervisor has witnessed it himself.
This kid's slow progress in cultivation is likely due to his accumulated frustration and anger. It would be quite appropriate for him to cultivate the Nine Flame Pulse, at least increasing the chances of success from one in ten to... two and a half in ten.
The supervisor nodded. "Don't sleep tonight, I'll transmit it to you!"
"Yes!"
Ji Su gritted his teeth. Compared to taking risks with the Han family, he was more inclined to cultivate the Nine Flame Pulse. If he couldn't succeed, he could still seek help from the Han family later.
Moreover...
That woman from the Li family has a lot of experience in mental control. He could go find her for dual cultivation during this time.
...
The next morning.
Ying Wuji woke up refreshed. He didn't lack money now and was using top-quality healing medicine. After just one night, his wounds had scabbed over and even showed signs of falling off.
Humming a tune, he had just finished inspecting the bookstore when he saw Wu Dan rush in with dark circles under his eyes. It was clear that he hadn't slept well all night.
Wu Dan clenched his fists excitedly. "Brother Wuji, I've made up my mind. I'm going to propose to Miss Li today!"
