"As the imperial protector, I will ask the White Lotus sect to withdraw from the Central Plains and relocate to the domains of vassal kings. I will create opportunities for you to expand your following."

Li Chen's tone was extremely confident.

Then, his voice dropped to a sinister whisper, laced with the seductive tone of a devil: "This is just the beginning. If we cooperate well in the future, this palace will find ways to send you to Liao, Jin, and even the East Indies to spread your faith."

"Stop thinking about overthrowing the court every day. It's hopeless! With your kind of quality, even if I gave you my position today and handed over the entire country to you, could you manage it"

"Managing the world requires intelligence and culture."

"And what kind of people are the followers of your Bai Lian Sect Destitute peasants, refugees, or those who can't even afford a single meal and are on the verge of starvation. Could such a group possibly govern the world"

Listening to Li Chen's words, Emperor Jian felt a surge of anger and shame.

Then, Li Chen continued, "Aren't you convinced Then go back and recruit people yourself. How many members of your Bailian Sect's management team can even write their own names properly More than ten"

Upon hearing these words, Emperor Jian's burning anger melted into shame.

Because, within the Bai Lian Jiao, those who can read are truly no more than a handful.

"Imagine, one day, those barbarians from Liao and Jin, the monkeys from Dongying, even the blond-haired blue-eyed people from across the ocean, all with mouths full of mud, claiming it originates from the primordial chaos, and when the white lotus blooms, a prosperous age will be ushered in. Only then would your status as a leader truly be glorious."

Jian Di looked at Li Chen with complicated eyes.

"I know, you want to use the White Lotus sect to keep those vassal kings busy, so they won't be able to threaten the still-weak court for at least a short time."

After suppressing Li Yinhui's rebellion, the court now needs to adjust and recuperate, rather than facing even more powerful and ferocious vassal kings.

The emperor's words made Li Chen smile faintly: "This palace naturally has its own purpose, but the tangible benefits are yours as well."

"This is called win-win cooperation."

"Win-win cooperation"

The Emperor's heart echoed with these four words, finding them utterly captivating. He laughed heartily, "Interesting, truly interesting."

"I never thought that one day, the prince of the Qin Empire would cooperate with the White Lotus sect and even teach them how to develop and grow bolder. It's really interesting."

The words of the Simple Emperor were, to say the least, sarcastic.

Li Chen didn't care.

He knew his goal was almost within reach.

What's wrong with satire

Getting things done, making things happen is the most important thing.

To babble on endlessly is a sign of impotent rage.

After the laughter subsided, Emperor Jian suddenly asked Li Chen, "What if I refuse"

Li Chen chuckled lightly, his face showing no surprise at all.

In the midst of clear skies and gentle breezes, he seemed to have grasped Emperor Jian's vital points.

He only took a slight step back, then uttered the cruellest words with a gentle smile.

"The leader of the White Lotus Sect trespassed into the East Palace, intending to harm the Crown Prince. This is a heinous crime and they should be immediately executed."

Moreover, the imperial court has a standing army of over one million soldiers stationed across the nation. Tomorrow, these troops will receive orders and imperial edicts to sweep through the country and eradicate the White Lotus Sect, leaving none alive!

Every word fell into his ears, Jian Di's heart died as he stared intently at Li Chen.

He thought he was already crazy enough.

But facing Li Chen, he realized what it meant to be truly crazy.s or finance religious ceremonies. It's also the term used by Buddhist monks to refer to those who donate money or material goods to temples."I have never made offerings to monks, nor donated to templ...
