Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 98

Chapter 0098 The Emperor’s Balance Strategy!
“What the empire didn’t expect was that the Pill Master Association actually had so much wealth to drive people to battle. The people of the Imperial Clan panicked and began to secretly help the other party, suppressing the Pill Master Association. The well-trained army took off their armor, dismounted their horses, disguised themselves as ordinary cultivators, and joined the Iron Castle. The Pill Masters Association began to fail one after another, and the empire’s strength was unstoppable.

“The Pill Master Association has lost!” Old Man Chen said with a gloomy expression.

“Then the Pill Masters Association still exists today. Could it be that the empire didn’t want to wipe it out completely at that time?” Qin Fei asked curiously.

“Haha, my dear disciple, no one can understand the Imperial Clan’s way of governing the country. At that time, everyone thought that after the Alchemist Association lost, the empire would definitely disband the association. Xuanwu Palace and Tie Castle were even more brushing their fists and preparing to attack the headquarters of the association.

However … the empire did not do this. Instead, it let go of the Pill Masters Association. It only laid down a rule that shocked everyone at that time. That was, the association was not allowed to enter the economy again. As for destroying the association, it did not mention it at all. It only confiscated the association’s properties in various places.

“This is the Emperor’s Balance Technique. He left the Pill Masters Association to restrain Xuanwu Palace and Tie Castle, forming a situation where the three sides checked and balanced each other.

“That’s why we can’t help your clan develop! At most, you can rely on your own identity as an alchemist to develop your clan, but we can’t provide any help!” Old Man Chen looked at Qin Fei and said in a deep tone.

Qin Fei nodded. Since that was the case, he could only rely on himself.

However, there was something else that puzzled him.

“Master, since you said that Xuanwu Palace and Iron Castle were allies, why did the Iron Scepter capture Duan Ruoyan that day? Furthermore, you said that the Iron Castle was supported by the empire, why did the Iron Castle disappear afterwards?”

Although he was very clear about the conflict between the Iron Staff and the Black Tortoise Palace, the real reason behind it was not very clear.

“Hehe, this is the Imperial Clan’s strategy again! There was once a great wise man who said that accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger. This is true!” Old Man Chen laughed strangely, as if the matter between Xuanwu Palace and Iron Castle had made him very happy.

“Iron Castle’s artificers were originally very popular. Mysterious artifacts were the most powerful weapons of the time, none of them! Moreover, Iron Castle had also refined three great divine artifacts. They were powerful and capable of cutting mountains and rivers! It was precisely that war that allowed the empire to see clearly how powerful and uncontrollable the artificers were. Only afterwards did people know that the empire had already planned everything. It was not just to deal with the Pill Masters Association, but to make all forces submit to their feet!

“Before the war, artificers had already organized forces of all sizes. Some of them dominated the area, calling for the wind and summoning the rain, violating the empire’s orders. At the beginning, Iron Castle was only an unknown small faction that existed amongst various factions. After the empire planted Iron Castle, Iron Castle’s faction quickly grew. Soon, it gathered other factions and became the sacred land in the hearts of artificers.

However, power was enough to drive people crazy. Iron Castle was like the sun in the sky, and the artificers were originally arrogant and arrogant. After the war, they began to resist the empire, feeling that the arrogant artificers could not be controlled by others.

“Seeing that the iron castle did not listen to his words, the empire’s rulers naturally did not agree. Something big happened inside the Iron Castle. Their third Castle Master was assassinated by someone, causing the Iron Castle to split apart and even the three divine artifacts to disappear. There were both positive and negative factions within them, and they started to fight with each other. In the end, they were both injured and lost. Nothing was left behind. All methods of forging weapons were destroyed in this internal battle. ”

Qin Fei was puzzled, “Since it was a conflict between them, why did they get involved in the Black Tortoise Palace?”

“I said, this is the imperial family’s plot! From the beginning, it was a conspiracy, a conspiracy of an emperor to stabilize his power! No matter how strong an artificer was, how could he be an opponent of the empire? After the Iron Castle split, a piece of news suddenly spread amongst the people, saying that the death of the third Castle Master of the Iron Castle was caused by the Black Tortoise Palace. At that time, the artificers were already crazy, Regardless of whether the news was true or false, He went to cause trouble for the Black Tortoise Palace, As a result, it was easy to imagine how Iron Castle, which had already declined, would be an opponent of the Black Tortoise Palace. In the end, it ended in failure, and even disappeared from everyone’s sight. As time passed, the artificers lost their inheritance in the long river of history, and their profession of artificing was gradually extinguished …

“The truth of history will emerge with the passage of time, and people will gradually understand the cause and effect of that great change. From the very beginning, there has been a shadow of the empire in dealing with our Pill Masters Association! The founder of the association was killed because of the empire’s conspiracy. This was the fuse that ignited the flames of war! Then, the empire dragged the artificers into the war, aiming to reduce their strength and disintegrate step by step! In the end, the empire was leading the way.

“History has become history. The empire still respects our Alchemist Association very much because we can refine pills that will make martial cultivators stronger! The Black Tortoise Palace is no longer as powerful as it used to be. After all, the empire needs to balance the forces. With our Alchemist Association controlling the Black Tortoise Palace, there won’t be a second Iron Fort!” Old Man Chen said.

Hearing this, Qin Fei came to a sudden realization and finally understood the grudges between the various forces.

No wonder Old Man Chen dared to attack the Nine Peaks Camel Old Man in the streets. No wonder the Nine Peaks Camel Old Man Society was so shameless and despicable. It turned out that both sides were in different positions. There were hundreds of years of grudges and contradictions between them. It would be strange if they didn’t fight fiercely when they met.

“Good disciple, as long as you know these secrets, don’t talk nonsense. If you provoke the imperial family, you won’t be able to eat any good fruits. The Emperor Clan is the most taboo of the public opinion below!” Old Man Chen warned.

“Master, don’t worry. I only have one head. How wonderful is life? How can I not think of it?” Qin Fei laughed.

“Well, I can’t do what you said. Think of something else!” Old Man Chen nodded.

Qin Fei thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Rubu Tou and said, “I want to learn how to make teleportation arrays from Fourth Senior Brother.”

“You have to ask yourself,” Old Chen said. “After all, this is his research.”

Qin Fei looked at the radish head. The radish head thought for a moment and stared at the thousand-year-old crystal. He nodded and agreed.

Qin Fei was overjoyed and didn’t ask for any other conditions. Old Man Chen didn’t waste any time. He took out the pills and handed them to him face to face.

It had to be said that this old fellow’s family background was quite thick. He took it out so easily. Previously, when he exchanged the blood of the golden lion, he was still complaining endlessly. It seemed that he attached great importance to this thousand-year-old crystal profound energy.
