Chapter 122: Protagonist Search!
Well, now let's move on to the system's newest feature!
I need to find a protagonist with very high luck to reap a high amount of Villain Points off of him.
However, to do that, I'd have to narrow down the area I want to search in...
"System, how much area can this Protagonist search feature cover?" Ashen asked calmly.
[Ding! Host, The Protagonist Search Feature covers 128 million square kilometers in area]
"Whoa, That's way more than I expected!" Ashen exclaimed, rubbing his chin in thought.
With this much area, I can easily search any of the four parts of the empire, be it the northern region or the eastern.
It would be better if I just search one direction since missing corners of the empire would leave a huge chance of error and it would also make my job difficult.
I could also use this to target a specific region to increase my faction and bring that region under my control.
Right now, I can't really compete with my siblings in influence over the empire. They also possess larger factions than me.
Well, Can't complain since I have just started to work on my faction, whereas they have been working for decades.
For fuck's sake, the eldest brother is more than 200 years older than me.
He's had a much larger lead to expand his forces.
That's the reason why being an older sibling gives you much more ease in the fight for the throne than the other siblings.
Even the sects and different powers prefer to follow an older prince.
Whereas I am only 20 in the eyes of others.
Heck, even my real age seems like a child when compared to my other sibling, not to mention this fake age.
Sigh... let's leave this topic aside and choose the area I'm going to target next.
South direction should be excluded since I have just conquered those top ten sects and It would be a waste to use the search on this region.
That leaves the other three directions.
Eastern region should be excluded since that region mostly has rouge and demonic cultivators roaming the region.
Though there are powers that would be useful If I capture them, however, those powerful rouge cultivators will create too many variables that I won't be able to control.
That only leaves North and West.
North and West are pretty similar, however, the West is divided too much into small powers.
It's like there are thousands of sects and clans ruling over it.
It's a mess there and I would like to avoid it for now if possible.
Also, It wouldn't be an accomplishment even if I conquered those small powers.
Therefore, the only reasonable choice would be the Northern region, The Verdant Sky Plains!
The Northern Region is divided into eight tribes and they are equally divided.
Also, conquering even one of them would be useful to my faction and detrimental to my sibling's factions since they support one or the other of my siblings.
It could be a precious chance to steal them and make them my own, thus weakening my siblings' factions.
Alright then, Let's find this lucky protagonist who will become my next target and will gift me Villain Points.
Making up his mind, he ordered: "System, use the Protagonist Search on the whole Northern region, The Verdant Sky Plains of the Primordial Dragon Empire!"
[Ding! Initiating the Protagonist Search Feature!]
[Searching for the Protagonist with the highest amount of Luck Points]
[.....]
[Ding! Search Complete]
[Protagonist found!]
[Ding! Host, Here are the results of the Protagonist Search -
~ Protagonist Details :
- Protagonist's Name - Qin Feng
- Protagonist's Location - Xue Mo Tribe, Central Prefecture
]
Along with this, a map appeared in front of Ashen, showing the location of Qin Feng in real-time.
This map was like a GPS map that displayed the real-time location of the protagonist.
In the left bottom corner of the map was a message, reading - 'Will disappear after the host sees the protagonist'
This meant that as soon as Ashen laid eyes on this Qin Feng, this map would disappear.
"How Convenient!" Ashen murmured while looking at the map and the details of the protagonist.
Now he knew where he had to go in this 2 weeks time that he had before the Emperor's birthday.
This is great! Now I just have to head to the Xue Mo Tribe and then let the system synchronize with Qin Feng.
After that, I'll simply be able to know all about him and that would help me formulate my plan on how to proceed further.
With enough information, anything can be achieved!
I should inform Uncle Jiao that I'll be leaving today, also It will be a great chance to know more about Feng Xue!
She is a bit too righteous and naive, I need to gather information about her before proceeding with her.
I should tell her to accompany me on this trip.
Thinking that, Ashen stormed out of the room and did as he had planned.
Though he had teleportation cards that could transport him to the Xue Mo tribe in an instant, however, that would simply be a waste of such a precious card.
Therefore, Ashen and Feng Xue made use of the teleportation formation in the Shang Clan to simply transport to the QingLong Tribe's North Prefecture.
Since It was a righteous tribe, they would never refuse to let the Shang Clan teleport in their jurisdiction.
Ashen and Feng Xue then casually boarded the merchant carriage that was heading for the Xue Mo Tribe.
That would save them the trouble of identifying themselves at the Xue Mo Tribe's checking point.
Also, traveling on the carriage was more pleasant and Ashen wanted to use this chance to gauge at Feng Xue's sense of reason which he had already done.
Right now, It had already turned dark and the two blue moons illuminated the sky.
The carriage was peaceful and the staff and workers began to head to bed to sleep.
They would reach the Xue Mo Tribe's borders in the morning so there was time to relax.
Inside Ashen's chamber, There was a double bed on which Ashen lay comfortably while Feng Xue sat in the corner with her guard up.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Ashen questioned with an amused grin.
"There is no need, King realm experts don't need sleep." Feng Xue answered calmly.
"Ah, is that so..." Ashen acted to be surprised.
He already knew about it, but then too, acted to not let Feng Xue suspect that he had already advanced to the King Realm.
Ashen turned to not let Feng Xue see his expression, his back towards Feng Xue.
Boom!
An explosion sound came from outside the chamber and as a result, their carriage began to shake violently.
Ashen and Feng Xue rushed out of the chambers, only to see panicked workers and staff as they all gazed around them.
