Branch Helmsman Shang Yufeng sat at the head of the table, flanked on both sides by the core forces of the Taixu Sect in Liang Kingdom.

However, compared to the assembly at the Tongtian Sect meeting, the personnel arrangement of the Taixu Sect fell short by quite a margin.

But this was also not difficult to understand, for Liang Kingdom was not the traditional sphere of influence for the Taixu Sect.

The staff of Taixu Sect in the Capital were mainly built around Qinghe Xuanran University.

For example, Li Qingge, who was not only the head of the Talisman Department at Qingxuan University but also juggling the role of Chairwoman of the Taixu Sect’s Capital Talisman Master Association.

Although holding multiple positions, she was actually not as busy as Gao Miao, the full-time Chairwoman.

The reason was simple: fewer people, a smaller scope of power, naturally resulting in being less busy.

But being in a position with less responsibility also had its risks—if you couldn’t produce results after a long time, the Taixu Sect’s Liangguo Subrudder would inevitably face closure from the headquarters.

The Immortal Sects are strong but not foolish; they do not foster idleness.

“Our plan has been quite successful,” Shang Yufeng said.

“In just two months, Jiang Cheng has successively dealt with both Prince Liang Chu and Prince Qi. Since the Eldest Princess is already married off, Princess Liang Pei is still underage, and Princess Si is too young, the only ones remaining before us are just Prince Liang Wu, Prince Liang Hong, and Prince Liang Qing.”

After Shang Yufeng finished speaking, the cultivators of the Taixu Sect below instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

The “Princess Ascension” plan did indeed seem a bit whimsical, and when Li Qingge first proposed it, practically no one in the subrudder supported it.

Fortunately, as the Helmsman, Shang Yufeng overrode the opposition and agreed to let Li Qingge try, leading to subsequent events.

But now it was different.

The plan had not only gone smoothly, but it had also been quite fruitful.

Jiang Cheng took down two princes in two months. Even the Demonic Tao would compliment, “Brother, your efficiency in handling affairs is truly high.”

According to Shang Yufeng’s description, the competitors currently standing before Princess Liang Lu were fundamentally only these three individuals.

As long as they took care of these three, Princess Liang Lu’s ascension to the throne would be as certain as a nail hammered into a board.

The rest would be simple: the Taixu Sect, under the guise of teaching, would actively cultivate Princess Liang Lu, helping her improve her cultivation level as much as possible. In return for the peach, she would reciprocate with plums, facilitating the Taixu Sect’s activities within the borders of Liang Kingdom. Then the Taixu Sect would continue to develop and eventually replace the Tongtian Sect, bringing Liang Kingdom into the Taixu Sect’s sphere of influence.

“Although Jiang Cheng is capable, his personal motivation is very weak. He doesn’t want to get involved in the royal struggle for succession. For the remaining three princes, we must find an irresistible reason for Jiang Cheng to continue participating in the plan and help Princess Liang Lu clear the obstacles,” Shang Yufeng said.

“All under heaven are attracted by profit. Why don’t we promise Jiang Cheng substantial benefits?” a female cultivator of the Taixu Sect suggested.

Li Qingge shook her head: “I’ve tried that approach already; he isn’t even interested in our ‘Meridian Synergy’.”

“Heroes often falter at the beauty pass. Find a beautiful female disciple to interact with him and see,” someone suggested.

Li Qingge continued shaking her head: “I’ve tried that as well, it was useless.”

“What about finding someone even more beautiful?”

Li Qingge sighed and said, “Although our school does have more beautiful female disciples, love requires mutual affection. Nowadays, most female disciples do not possess the same resolve as the Holy Maiden Ling Huan who once split the Tongtian Sect.”

Benefits and beauty are an invincible sword.

But they all shattered and sank like broken lances against Jiang Cheng, completely losing their effect.

The Taixu Sect meeting room fell into a long silence.

Li Qingge pondered: “Considering that Jiang Cheng was admitted to Lotus Cloud University, he would probably like to join the Immortal Sect in the future. But this point is precisely what we in the Taixu Sect cannot satisfy. Helmsman, is there really no way for the Taixu Sect to recruit male disciples? Not even through special recruitment?”

Shang Yufeng replied, “That’s not something we can decide.”

A female cultivator voiced her headache: “No one is perfect; Jiang Cheng must have some weaknesses, right? What was his motivation for bringing down Prince Liang Chu and Prince Qi?”

Her question immediately captured the attention of everyone present.

Indeed, why did Jiang Cheng want to topple Prince Liang Chu and Prince Qi in the first place?

Li Qingge, as the sole person involved in both incidents, naturally received the gazes of all the senior members of the Taixu Sect.

“Let me think.”

Liqingge carefully recalled Jiang Cheng’s motives.

Jiang Cheng originally refused the “Meridian Synergy,” claiming that he “will not participate in the struggle for succession.” So why did he suddenly bring down both Prince Liang Chu and Prince Qi?

What commonalities existed between the two incidents involving Prince Liang Chu and Prince Qi?

“If I remember correctly, after the incident with Prince Liang Chu, Jiang Cheng’s ‘Willpower Empowerment Talisman’ was urgently banned by the court,” Li Qingge said.

Shang Yufeng frowned and asked, “Are you suggesting that Prince Liang Chu’s fate was due to Jiang Cheng’s talisman?”

Li Qingge’s line of thought became clearer, “Right, do you remember Zeng Shi’an from the Linlan Sect? Their Talisman Master Association was punished by both the court and the Linlan Sect for carelessly certifying Jiang Cheng’s talisman.”

“And what about Prince Qi?”

“It’s also because of the talisman! Jiang Cheng collaborated with the Shadow Puppet Sect on the Perception Transmission Talisman. The Hehuan Sect actually became covetous and attempted to snatch it. After that, the whole Demonic Tao started fighting because of it, giving the Tongtian Sect the opportunity to seize them all in one fell swoop.”

“So, Jiang Cheng’s key action point is talisman crafting?”

“Exactly,” Li Qingge analyzed: “While Jiang Cheng’s weakness may not be obvious, the weaknesses of the princes are laid bare for all to see. If we can’t persuade Jiang Cheng, can’t we persuade the princes?”

“Makes sense.”

“Indeed feasible.”

“Prince Liang Wu and Prince Liang Hong both graduated from Lotus Cloud University, they are Jiang Cheng’s seniors. Prince Liang Qing is currently a junior at Capital University. Who shall we take care of first?”

They all looked toward Shang Yufeng.
