"Ning Chen, in fact, you only need to slightly revise some moral principles, and the conflict between you and the Changsheng Taoist Sect will naturally be resolved, and there is no need to be so tense." Emperor Shun persuaded him nicely.

This time Ning Chen's answer was very formal: "Your Majesty is right, if I take a step back, the Changsheng Dao Sect will let me go.

But what about next time?

Do I need to take a step back next time?

Next time I'll take a step back.

Am I just going to retreat step by step until I fall off the cliff?

Your Majesty, I never believe that giving in can bring peace.

Throughout the history of our human race, there has never been a time when peace was achieved through concessions.

Compromising will only lead to advancement.

This time I backed down morally.

Then he will ask me to revise morality next time to target traditional Taoism, Confucianism, and martial arts.

Eventually they would leave me alone and dependent on them.

Then they can naturally handle me however they want.

This is not what I want.

So since I have decided not to retreat, I will naturally not retreat even one step."

Ning Chen's words made Wu Zhao's starry eyes sparkle with a little golden light.

Wu Zhao realized that he still hadn't seen through Ning Chen in the past.

This is the real Ning Chen.

No matter how licentious he is on the surface, deep down he has a bottom line that he sticks to.

Once someone touches this bottom line, Ning Chen will never take a step back.

Wu Zhao sounded very appreciative of these words, but Emperor Shun sounded a bit harsh.

Emperor Shun even felt that Ning Chen's words seemed to be directed at him.

He seemed to be biting himself.

"Do you think I'm being manipulated by them now?" Emperor Shun asked with a stern face.

Ning Chen immediately changed his smile and said: "How could your Majesty be manipulated by the Changsheng Dao Sect.

On the contrary, I think the Changsheng Taoist Sect has been manipulated by His Majesty.

Otherwise, the Changsheng Taoist Sect will ask Your Majesty to come and intercede with me.

It is estimated that the flying sword of the Changsheng Dao Sect has already rushed towards the head of the minister."

Emperor Shun snorted and said: "It's good for you to know. What I told you, you should go back and think about it carefully before giving me an answer."

Ning Chen said decisively: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I don't want to consider it anymore. I will not retreat, not even a step. If the Changsheng Dao Sect wants to come to me, just come."

Emperor Shun didn't expect Ning Chen to be so disrespectful to him, so he couldn't help but said angrily: "Ning Chen, you told me before that the most important thing now is the ghost realm.

If the Changsheng Dao Sect no longer contributes to the Ghost Realm, it will only rely on Yun Xuanzi and a group of Taoist counter-seeds.

How to check and balance all the ghost realms in the thirteen states of our Wu Dynasty."

Ning Chen said: "Your Majesty, without the Changsheng Taoist Sect, we still have Confucianism. Yunshan Academy has promised that they are willing to work together to eliminate the ghost realm."

Emperor Shun snorted coldly and said: "Confucianism has never started prematurely without benefit. If Confucianism invests one, it will definitely get back ten. Don't you know the dirt of Confucianism?"

Emperor Shun was so hostile to Confucianism, so it was obvious that he had suffered a loss from Confucianism.

But Ning Chen didn't think so.

Confucianism is dirty, and if you are dirtier than Confucianism, you will definitely not be the one who suffers in the end.

But Ning Chen couldn't argue with Emperor Shun about this matter.

On the contrary, Wu Zhao and Ning Chen can have an in-depth discussion with her on how to prevent Confucianism from taking advantage.

"If your majesty does not believe in Confucianism, your majesty can believe in our own mighty army in the Wu Dynasty.

The martial artist can also use Chen's Yin and Yang Dao, and it will greatly benefit the martial artist's training.

The Taoist sect can slowly absorb the ghost realm, and the warriors of my Wu Dynasty can destroy the ghost realm."

Emperor Shun retorted: "You said that a martial artist can destroy the ghost realm. Can you tell me what level of martial artist can destroy the ghost realm?"

Ning Chen looked at Feng Wudi who was standing next to him and said: "General Feng needs a professional like you to answer this question for His Majesty."

Feng Wudi said lazily: "I have observed the ghost realm. It is not that difficult to destroy the ghost realm.

For example, the ghost domain in Liangzhou, if I am willing, I can destroy the ghost domain with a few punches.

Even if I don’t need to take action, three or four of the fourth grade and one cup of tea can be destroyed.”

"Your Majesty, I think General Feng's words are of great reference significance." Ning Chen said to Emperor Shun:

"In the final analysis, our Wu Dynasty is not the Sun Dynasty and the Yue Dynasty. Those two dynasties were dominated by the Taoist sect.

They can only use Taoist methods to deal with the ghost realm.

But we, the Wu Dynasty, have many ways to deal with the ghost realm, and we, the Wu Dynasty, can also borrow a lot of power."

Emperor Shun understood that it was impossible for Ning Chen to reconcile with Changsheng Taoism no matter what.

"What good will it do to you to fight against the Changsheng Dao Sect like this?" Emperor Shun was still making his last effort.

"Your Majesty, at least I don't see any harm in it now." Ning Chen replied.

Emperor Shun knew what Ning Chen was thinking, and gave up trying to persuade Ning Chen: "Now that you have decided, I will say this. Whatever the Changsheng Dao Sect wants to do to you, I can't continue to deal with you.

.If you decide, just step back."

Ning Chen cupped his hands and said, "I'm leaving."

After saying that, Ning Chen turned around and walked out without stopping.

Feng Wudi stood beside Ning Chen and also left Ganlin Palace.

As soon as the two people left Ganlin Palace, Sun Banban's great-grandson came up to them and took Ning Chen and Feng Wudi to Mingde Palace.

In the Ganlin Hall, Sun Banban was also waved back by Wu Zhao.

Now the only two people left in Ganlin Palace are Wu Zhao and his daughter.

After Emperor Shun waited for everyone to leave, he said angrily: "This Ning Chen really doesn't give me any face. I even tried to persuade him kindly, but he didn't even consider it at all.

He rejected my proposal outright."

Wu Zhao said respectfully from the side: "Father, isn't this exactly the result you want?"

Emperor Shun paused for a moment, but when he spoke he still had some anger: "This is the result I want, but it doesn't change the fact that I am angry."

When Wu Zhao heard what Emperor Shun said, he couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that Ning Chen has some abilities to make his father so angry."

Emperor Shun glanced at the smiling Wu Zhao and said quietly: "Xiao Zhao'er, don't say that my father didn't remind you. Before you become a great treasure, you'd better keep some distance from Ning Chen."

When Wu Zhao heard Emperor Shun's words, the smile on his face disappeared instantly and said: "Your Majesty, I know. Thank you very much, Father, for reminding me."

Emperor Shun nodded and said to Wu Zhao: "Xiao Zhao'er, the matters in the palace are still left to you. As for the Changsheng Dao Sect, my father will handle it. However, based on my father's understanding of the Changsheng Dao Sect, this matter

The Changsheng Taoist Sect will never give up."

After hearing Emperor Shun's words, Wu Zhao couldn't help but said: "Father, didn't Kong Jijiu go to the Taoist leader of the Changsheng Taoist Sect before?"

Emperor Shun nodded again and said, "I have indeed found Kong Jijiu."

The conversation changed and Emperor Shun said: "But after all, Kong Jijiu is only the fourth grade.

His threat to the Changsheng Dao Sect is indeed great, but it does not make the Changsheng Dao Sect so fearful that they dare not take action at all.

At most, the Changsheng Dao Sect will not take action openly, but taking action secretly is unavoidable."

Wu Zhao's face turned gloomy again, and he said: "Father, I will secretly send more people to protect Ning Chen."

Emperor Shun shook his head and said: "As long as Feng Wudi is here, it will be enough.

The manpower you secretly sent is far less comprehensive than Feng Wudi's personal protection.

With Feng Wudi here, he can already block 90% of Ning Chen's hidden attacks.

Ning Chen should find a way to resist the remaining 10%.

Now that he has chosen the path of confrontation, things like this will inevitably happen in the future."

Everything that needs to be explained has been explained.

Emperor Shun also left Ganlin Palace.

After respectfully sending Emperor Shun off, Wu Zhao recalled Sun Banban.

Returning to Mingde Palace, Wu Zhao saw Ning Chen sitting in his own Mingde Palace eating and drinking very familiarly, as if he were at home.

Wu Zhao put on a pretty face, sat down in his seat expressionlessly, and said to Ning Chen: "Ning Aiqing, now you can talk to me about how you plan to survive without the help of the Changsheng Dao Sect.
