Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 312: Breakthrough in the Heavenly Dao Realm!

“Understood!” Wu Qianqian's mind was shaken. The ferocious atmosphere of a fight to the death contained in Tie Butian's words could be felt even by someone illiterate!

No matter the cost! Fight to the death!

Better to have everything turned to ashes than to live in shame!

“There's no need to worry about anything,” Tie Butian seemed to see through Wu Qianqian’s concerns and said, “Iron Cloud is vast, and there are plenty of talents… If we win, we will have plenty of time to slowly clean up the mess, gradually promote talents, and restore order without worrying about anyone obstructing us. We have a lifetime of time.”

“But if we lose… then there's even less for us to worry about,” Tie Butian smiled oddly and said, “That will be a headache for Diwu Qingrou.”

So that’s how it is!

Wu Qianqian suddenly understood.

Tie Butian's decision took both victory and defeat into account.

The people are filled with blind obedience; however… even if they are blindly obedient, there must be someone of sufficient status to stand up and call them to action… either as warriors or as subjects of a fallen nation! Someone must lead...

To give a universally understood example: just like a party member can develop a base; but a traitor can also establish a puppet government.

This has been true throughout history, across all cultures and realms!

Yet, while Tie Butian's approach seems ruthless, it actually prevents the possibility of Diwu Qingrou ruling over Iron Cloud in the shortest time if they fail!

If the highest-level traitors are all eliminated, what remains, even if there are traitors, would only be leading a village or a town…

Without a leader, it cannot be called a force!

From this perspective, Tie Butian is prepared for everything to go up in flames! Even… has prepared in advance!

The fierceness in Tie Butian's character is evident here!

“I understand now,” Wu Qianqian said seriously.

“That's good!” Tie Butian looked at her warmly, a gentle smile on his face, and said softly, “This matter is entrusted to you, Chu Imperial Seat, to handle with full authority. You can mobilize… all the forces under my command!”

All the forces under my command!

Wu Qianqian shivered and said, “I will not fail your majesty's trust!”

Tie Butian nodded with a smile: “Now, Great Zhao is also in complete internal chaos; even if Diwu Qingrou wants to intervene, she cannot spare the effort! Therefore, we must end this cleansing before the internal chaos in Great Zhao concludes!”

“To achieve this, I allow you… to use slightly more extreme measures!” Tie Butian said heavily.

“Yes.”

Tie Butian felt relieved. Although the same words were directed at the Imperial Seat of the Butian Pavilion, this Imperial Seat was completely different from the other.

If it were facing Chu Yang, saying ‘I allow you to use extreme measures’ would have been out of the question! Because there was no need to say… Chu Yang had already acted very excessively! Very excessively! If it were made clear… Tie Butian would genuinely worry that Chu Yang would kill everyone himself…

But facing Wu Qianqian, it was another matter.

“As for those hidden among the senior military officials… I need to personally go to the front lines when the time is ripe, to cooperate with Uncle Wang to thoroughly eradicate them! Just relying on the current strength of the Butian Pavilion is still insufficient to deal with them.”

“Yes.”

“It’s alright, Qianqian…” Tie Butian said softly, his eyes flashing with unspeakable emotions, letting out a light sigh, “You are not him, so there is no need for you to adopt his demeanor in front of me… to mimic his voice and methods of action…”

“Please refer to me as Chu Imperial Seat… or simply, Imperial Seat,” Wu Qianqian retreated a step, coldly saying, “I prefer your majesty to address my humble position by my title, rather than… my name!”

Tie Butian smiled helplessly: “You… are you afraid I will eat you?”
