A few days after the execution of the royal family, someone came to visit him in the Dragon Throne Room: It was Zheng Yi from the Noble Alliance.
The past few days have been quite stressful for him due to the fact the Wise Sage never mentioned their agreements. Even if he did not immediately attack the nobles, they were still under great pressure.
After seeing Wang Wei on the Dragon Chair, he bowed more than 90 degrees and said, "Long live your Majesty. May your cultivation rise and be able to live for eternity."
Wang Wei looked at him with calm eyes, then he waved his hand and said, "You may rise."
Then, Zeng Yi lifted his body to make eye contact with Wang Wei and addressed the reason for his visit.
"Your majesty, I wonder whether our agreement is still valid?"
"Of course, as long as you people choose the group of nobles that need to be made an example with, everything is still the same."
Zheng Yi sighed a relief after hearing this, then he further asked, "Then, when can we sign the Soul Contract?"
"There is no need for that," answered Wang Wei with a smile on his face. "Since you guys believed me to be a man of my words, then continue to strengthen this belief."
Zheng Yi frowned after hearing this, but he did not say anything else about this topic. He bowed again and said, "Then, I shall bring your words to the Noble Alliance."
After the brief conversation, Zheng Yi was dismissed and returned to inform the noble alliance of the result. Meanwhile, Wang Wei sneered at these nobles. If it was not the fact that he still needed them to temporarily stabilize his future dynasty, he would have killed them long ago.
Unfortunately for him, this kingdom is very similar to Middle Earth’s ancient time from his past life when it comes to societal structure.
Most knowledge is kept in the hands of these nobles and they go to extreme length to keep the common people ignorant, uneducated, and uninformed.
After reviewing the situation of the previous kingdom, Wang Wei discovered that more than 95% of officials throughout the entire kingdom are related to the nobles’ families one way and another.
This is one of the reasons that the Noble Alliance is not to worry about the change of dynasty. Because whoever is the winner will still need their help if they want to govern the dynasty properly.
Because they are the true controller of this land, and this has been the case for countless generations and will remain the same for countless years to come.
As for the remaining 5%, they are composed of a few scholars with upright morale that refused to associate with the nobles due to their corrupt behaviors.
However, the fate of the remaining 5% was actually quite bleak. All of them were suppressed, killed, or exiled far away from the capital by the Noble Alliance.
Wang Wei’s next step of action is to promote the people from these 5%, cultivate a group of capable people as soon as possible while he slowly cut off the tentacles of the Noble Alliance from his dynasty.
Duke Zheng Mansion:
After his meeting with His Majesty Wang Wei, Zeng Yi returned home to his family and reported to the patriarch of the result.
Duke Zheng Yong was a middle-age man in the Divine Altar Realm, also the current patriarch of the Zheng Clan. After receiving the report, he frowned and started thinking about his next course of action.
"It seems that this new Emperor really wants to do something to our families," muttered Zheng Yong.
"So what do we do now? The plan has backfired on us," asked Marquis Leng Zan who was sitting next to the Duke.
"I think it’s best to follow the agreement, then let our families lay low for a while. After all, we all know that these Extraterrestrial Demons will eventually leave this world when their trials are over," responded Viscount Chang Liu. "And I don’t believe that his majesty would dare to blatantly kill us with all the power that we have in this kingdom."
The other two people nodded in agreement, then Marquis Leng Zan suddenly asked, "So which family are we going to sacrifice this time?"
Immediately, the room became silent with only the sound of breathing and slurping being heard.
After taking a sip of his tea, Duke Zheng Yong said with a smile, "It seemed that his majesty wanted to cause infighting among our alliance and divide us using this method. What a scheming Emperor. From the information I gathered, he is less than a hundred years old. If only my son had half, no a quarter of his abilities."
After sighing for more than 10 seconds, the Duke continued, "There is no need to argue about this. We can take this opportunity to get rid of the other two Duke households. However, we cannot let this new Emperor think that we are easy to bully."
The next day, Wang Wei was having a meeting with many of the ministers that are under his control. He was making plans for the establishment of the new dynasty.
Then, someone informed that Advisor Zhao Feng asked for a meeting. After nodding, Zhao Fenf entered the room with some new information.
He informed everyone how the Noble Alliance brought over all the family members of Duke Qiu and Duke Yun. They also brought many space rings with countless wealth in them: there were countless gold, silver, jade, jewelry, and land deeds to countless properties.
However, what was weird was the fact that a woman flying brought these things over. Furthermore, immediately afterward, the woman destroyed a building next to the royal palace.
After hearing this, the room became silent and many people started thinking. One person suddenly asked, "Excuse me, what does the Noble Alliance mean by this?"
"It’s a message, or to be precise, a warning," answered Li Jun with a frown on his face.
"Message? Warning? What kind of warning?"
"It is to tell us that the final card of their family is actually also a Supernatural Realm cultivator," responded another voice. This time it was Wang Wei who explained.
