Half an hour later, Long Yunxiao brought General Li back to the Milky Way Palace.
As soon as they returned to the bedchamber, General Li hurriedly asked, "Emperor, you know that Ji Tianxing has the Kenshin bloodline and is closely related to the Kenshin bloodline. Why are you still at odds with him?"
Long Yunxiao glanced at him and said calmly, "It's just a duel with him in the Apocalypse Tower. It's not a battle to the death.
"I can see that he truly loves Yun Yao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such arrogant words!
"If I don't anger him and pressure him, how can he grow so quickly? How can he protect Yun Yao in the future? "
General Li hesitated for a while and said with a frown, "But he has the Kenshin bloodline after all!
"The Kenshin bloodline is divine blood. How powerful is it?
"In half a year, his strength will increase tremendously. He might even reach the Ethereal Realm!"
Long Yunxiao smiled and said calmly, "If he can really reach the Ethereal Realm in half a year, I'll be happy for him.
"Now, he's a nobody with a low status. He's not worthy of the eldest daughter of the Cloud Soul Palace, Yun Yao.
"If he can defeat me in the Apocalypse Tower, he'll become famous and be a good match for Yun Yao. The Cloud Soul Palace will accept him.
"Also, the Imperial Tutor has observed the stars and predicted that there will be great changes in Zhongzhou soon.
"Zhongzhou has been peaceful for thousands of years. When the time comes, there might be a bloodbath and the chaos from thousands of years ago will be reborn.
"Ji Tianxing has to become a true powerhouse to be worthy of Yun Yao's trust."
General Li frowned and said worriedly, "Emperor, if Ji Tianxing becomes famous by stepping on you, you'll be criticized and mocked by the world!
"You're the Emperor, the heir to the Imperial Court. Your reputation and dignity are sacred and cannot be blasphemed!"
Long Yunxiao chuckled and said, "Haha … That's just a title. Don't worry about it.
"If the world wants to criticize and mock me, then let them mock me."
"As long as Yun Yao can be entrusted to a good person and be happy for the rest of her life, so what if I become a laughingstock?"
"This …" General Li was at a loss for words for a moment.
He said emotionally, "Emperor, you've been secretly supporting Cloud Spirit Palace for the past few years. I wonder how much effort you've put in for Miss Yun Yao."
"Now, you've turned against Ji Tianxing on the surface, but in fact, you're doing this for Miss Yun Yao's lifelong happiness."
"You're so infatuated with Miss Yun Yao. You're willing to give up everything for her, but she doesn't know anything. Is it worth it?"
Long Yunxiao revealed a faint smile and leisurely said, "General Li, you only know how to fight on the battlefield, but you don't understand the meaning of love."
"I loved her deeply, so I gave up everything for her without any complaints or regrets. I just wanted to see her happy and carefree for the rest of her life."
"As for whether she can understand me or care about me, that's not important!"
He stared at the hazy moonlight outside the window with a tranquil smile on his handsome face. His voice was soft and distant, clearly revealing his heartfelt thoughts.
General Li seemed to feel something, but he was confused and couldn't understand Long Yunxiao's feelings. He couldn't help but scratch his head and fall silent.
… …
In the middle of the night, halfway up the back mountain of Scarlet Firmament Peak, a black shadow was rapidly moving forward.
This person was dressed in black and wore a veil over his face, revealing only a pair of cold and resentful eyes.
His body was thin and weak, but his movements were as light as the wind. He shuttled through the forest path without making the slightest sound.
A moment later, he felt his way near a dark cave. He hid in the dark forest and quietly observed the entrance of the cave.
That cave was dug and built by the Sky Pillar Sect to imprison and imprison criminals.
A dim yellow lantern was lit at the entrance of the cave. Several armored guards were standing on both sides of the cave entrance.
The black-clothed man observed for a while and saw that the cave entrance was heavily guarded. He couldn't force his way in, so he quietly retreated.
He went into the depths of the forest and took out an Earth Escape Talisman from his spatial ring. Then, he silently burrowed into the ground and sneaked into the cave.
About seven minutes later, he entered the depths of the cave and groped his way through a pitch-black passage.
Although there were guards at intervals in the cave and hidden weapons were set up, the black-clothed man was very familiar with the cave.
However, the man in black was very familiar with the situation in the cave. He cleverly avoided several checkpoints and reached the deepest part of the cave.
He entered a spacious cave and observed the situation inside with his keen eyes.
He saw that there were several secret rooms carved into the surrounding rock walls. The stone doors were tightly shut and were set up with formations.
The black-clothed man quickly chose a secret room on the left. Using his attainments in formations, he quickly opened the stone door of the secret room.
Swoosh!
He passed through the stone door as fast as a gust of wind and entered the dark secret room.
He saw that a dim yellow stone lantern was lit in the dark and cold secret room.
On the rock wall facing the door, there were several rows of bowl-sized iron stakes nailed to it. Several cold iron chains as thick as an arm were tied to it. A tall woman in black was tied to the chains.
The black-clothed woman was two meters tall. She had long red hair and dark red eyes. She was the Blood Moon Infanta of the Demon Clan!
Her limbs and body were shackled by cold iron chains. She was also set up with a sealing formation. She couldn't move at all.
Moreover, her body was covered with wounds and stained with dark purple blood. She looked very miserable.
Sensing that someone had sneaked into the secret room, she was immediately awakened. She stared at the black-clothed man with vigilance and shouted in a low voice, "Who are you?"
The black-clothed man gestured for her to be silent. Then, he slowly pulled down the mask on his face, revealing a sickly pale face.
When the Blood Moon Infanta saw his appearance, she was shocked.
"Bai Wuchen? It's you! "
"What do you want to do?!"
After the Blood Moon Infanta was captured, she had been locked in this cell.
A few hours ago, Chu Tiansheng had personally come to the cell and tortured her until she was on the verge of death.
She knew that she couldn't escape, so she clenched her teeth and refused to say anything. She would rather die than reveal the Blood Demon Lord's plan.
However, she didn't expect that the Sky Pillar Sect's disciple, Bai Wuchen, would sneak into the secret room in black clothes.
Bai Wuchen looked at her coldly and said with his spiritual sense, "I came here in the middle of the night to save you!"
The Blood Moon Infanta frowned in disbelief. "Bai Wuchen, we are enemies, not friends. Why do you want to save me?"
Bai Wuchen didn't answer her question. He said with a gloomy face, "I can save you, but you have to promise me one thing!"
"What is it?" The Blood Moon Infanta asked in a low voice.
Bai Wuchen's eyes were filled with cold killing intent. He said with resentment, "After you get out, you must kill Ji Tianxing!"
