To deal with Xu Fengqiu, the Tianxuan Emperor was also not idle.
In fact, he might not have gone to such lengths to deal with Xu Fengqiu.
After all, they had no direct conflict; it was purely for the sake of his own face that he intended to take action and make Xu Fengqiu quiet down a bit.
But…
During this Tang Sect competition, the Tianxuan Emperor had been quite confident in and supportive of Tang Fan.
However, Tang Fan completely lost face.
And Tang Fan's loss of face, in a way, was also the Tianxuan Emperor losing face.
After all, the Tianxuan Emperor had been supporting Tang Fan at the time.
Although his support wasn't obvious, many people could actually see it.
And the Tianxuan Emperor attributed Tang Fan's loss of face to Xu Fengqiu.
Because the intention was to suppress Xu Fengqiu in the first place.
……
Weapon Sect.
Tang Fan met with the Prime Minister of the Tianxuan Empire.
"So it's Prime Minister," Tang Fan said.
Tang Fan performed a salute.
"Young friend Tang Fan hasn't been having a smooth time lately."
Tang Fan sighed: "It's just that I, this Emperor, was young and careless."
"Well, although you are the master of a sect, you are still young. This Prime Minister is considered a senior, and there are some words I must advise you on. However, I think you have already realized some things."
Although Tang Fan had completely lost face and was unreliable and so on.
But in the eyes of many people, he was still indeed someone that few of his peers could compare to.
Tang Fan nodded.
"I wonder what brings the Prime Minister here?"
The Prime Minister said: "This Prime Minister has received news that a force is about to attack the Eternal First Divine Sect."
Hearing this news, Tang Fan was very happy in his heart.
"Someone should have attacked him long ago. He's so arrogant and doesn't put anyone in his eyes. Does he really think no one dares to touch him?"
The Prime Minister said: "Does young friend Tang Fan want to take action?"
"This Emperor?"
Tang Fan frowned, then smiled and said: "The Prime Minister has also seen that this Weapon Sect of mine has just started and is only just beginning to show its colors. In terms of the sect's strength, it can't even be considered a second-rate force right now. Xu Fengqiu's Eternal First Divine Sect, without considering his methods, has annexed the Divine Sword Pavilion and is almost a first-rate force. How can this Emperor's Weapon Sect compete with him?"
"Young friend Tang Fan, during the Tang Sect competition, couldn't you see His Majesty's favor towards you?"
Tang Fan frowned slightly.
"Although you didn't achieve good results in the end, His Majesty still appreciates your talent. If you are willing, His Majesty can support the Weapon Sect to become a powerful sect within the Tianxuan Empire."
Why would the Tianxuan Emperor still support Tang Fan?
In fact, no matter what, the Xuantian Sacred Artifact and hidden weapons that Tang Fan possessed were close to the level of the Tang Sect.
If he could truly cooperate with Tang Fan, even if he couldn't surpass the Tang Sect, he would be able to compete with the Tang Sect in the future.
At least, this Weapon Sect could definitely become the number one hidden weapon sect under the Tang Sect.
And in the future, the Weapon Sect would become the Tianxuan Emperor's force. How much would such top-level hidden weapons improve the Tianxuan Emperor's power?
But there was a premise: Xu Fengqiu, Tang Fan's or the Weapon Sect's biggest competitor in the development of hidden weapons, must be eliminated!
As for the remaining Tang Sect, because it was too strong, there was no need to do anything to the Tang Sect. He just needed to prevent the Tang Sect from dominating the hidden weapon aspect as before.
And Tang Fan was naturally moved when he heard the Prime Minister's words.
He and the Weapon Sect needed a backer too much right now.
The Myriad Poison Sect was indeed very strong, but if there was also a Tianxuan Emperor, especially since his Weapon Sect was still within the Tianxuan Empire, that would be perfect.
However, Tang Fan also knew what the other party wanted.
"Thank you for His Majesty's appreciation. I wonder what His Majesty's intention is?"
The Prime Minister said: "This time, several top forces will go to attack the Eternal First Divine Sect. If they can have a batch of hidden weapons, I think the Eternal First Divine Sect will be destroyed more easily."
If that was the case, everyone would know that Tang Fan had taken action.
In fact, Tang Fan really didn't want to have a direct conflict with Xu Fengqiu right now.
But now, the choice was before him.
Moreover, this matter didn't require his Weapon Sect to send people.
Once Xu Fengqiu's Eternal First Divine Sect was destroyed, what remained would be the strong development of his Weapon Sect.
"Prime Minister, can you tell Tang Fan which forces are going to attack the Eternal First Divine Sect?" Tang Fan asked.
The Prime Minister said: "The six imperial-level forces within the Tianxuan Empire, including the Azure Cloud Sect!"
Hiss—
Tang Fan couldn't help but gasp.
Six imperial-level forces attacking a first-rate sect.
Just thinking about it made one wonder how Xu Fengqiu and the Eternal First Divine Sect could survive.
"Moreover, there will be two Supreme Immortal Emperors."
"What? There are two Supreme Immortal Emperors?" Tang Fan asked in surprise.
The imperial-level forces of these Nine Provinces did not have Supreme Immortal Emperors.
The highest they had were several ninth-level Immortal Emperors, but they simply couldn't take that final step.
Although they had entered the golden age of cultivation, some ninth-level Immortal Emperors had advanced to Supreme Immortal Emperors.
However, these were generally not people from these imperial-level forces who had advanced.
"Well, these two Supreme Immortal Emperors are not from these six major forces, but don't worry, these two people will take action."
Tang Fan nodded.
If that was the case, then he really didn't know how the Eternal First Divine Sect could resist.
Tang Fan then said: "I can enhance hidden weapons."
"Hidden weapons that are still effective against Immortal Emperors," the Prime Minister added.
"I can, but… such powerful hidden weapons will not be too numerous. However, I can join forces with the Myriad Poison Sect. The hidden weapons may not be able to cause fatal damage to them, but the hidden weapons, combined with the poison of the Myriad Poison Sect, can at least directly incapacitate those who are hit."
"That's enough! Then, this Prime Minister will await young friend Tang Fan's good news."
"Okay!" Tang Fan nodded.
"By the way."
Tang Fan suddenly thought of something.
"What about the Tang Sect? What if the Tang Sect lends a hand?"
"Could it be that His Majesty wouldn't consider the things you can consider? The Tang Sect cannot take action."
"That's good!"
Tang Fan was completely relieved.
……
Time flew by.
Three days had passed.
At this moment, Xu Fengqiu and the Poet Saint were playing chess in the courtyard.
Xiao Li was watching their performance with her cheeks propped up.
"Little friend Xu, your chess skills are extraordinary. In a short period of time, even though you haven't had much energy to play chess during this period, you have now reached such a level."
The Poet Saint praised.
"Senior is too kind. It's also because I've been playing chess with senior these days that I've gained a lot of insights. Senior has taught me well," Xu Fengqiu said as he placed a piece.
"Well, your current level is already very high. As expected, a genius is a genius, and it's not just reflected in martial arts," the Poet Saint stroked his beard.
"I wonder how much of senior's skill I have?" Xu Fengqiu asked.
"Three to four percent, perhaps. After all, this old man has been playing for so many years. I even played against the Chess Saint for a while. However, with your level, you should have a chance of winning against ordinary people who are proficient in chess."
Xiao Li blinked her big eyes.
She didn't quite understand, but she just felt that the young master was very厉害.
At this moment, a talisman suddenly flew in front of Xu Fengqiu.
