In a large hall in the Imperial Palace of the Great Han Dynasty:
Gu Hai did not wear his dragon robes. Instead, he wore casual black robes. He led Shangguan Hen and Guqin to receive Li Shenji and the others.
"Mister Li, you have come from afar. Please excuse me for not going out to meet you! What brings you here? "Gu Hai smiled as he looked at Li Shenji.
Gu Hai sat in the host's seat. Guqin and Shangguan Hen sat to his left. Li Shenji sat to his right. Behind them stood a group of subordinates.
Li Shenji stared at Gu Hai. Gu Hai was also on guard against Li Shenji.
After all, although he did not kill Li Haoran, if this Li Shenji went crazy, he still had to be careful.
"Hahaha! Division Leader Gu, what a good plan! Once the Imperial Casino opens, the Thousand Islands Sea's Spirit Stones will continuously flow to the Han Dynasty? Are you trying to empty the Thousand Islands Sea's Spirit Stones? "Li Shenji suddenly said with a smile.
However, he did not mention Li Haoran's death at all.
"Oh? Mister Li overpraises me. The Imperial Casino does not have any technical difficulties. Perhaps there will be more people following the trend in the future! "Gu Hai said, shaking his head.
"Following the trend? Not necessarily. We only have the appearance but not the spirit! In the end, your Imperial Casino is still the biggest. Look, my bastard subordinates just sent two thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones to your Imperial Casino! "Li Shenji said with a smile.
However, the subordinates behind him had unsightly expressions. They lowered their heads in shame.
"Mister Li is exaggerating. My Imperial Casino operates openly and fairly. What we earn is just a living. We cannot compare to Mister Li!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
Li Shenji's smile froze. Can you be any more ridiculous? That Metal Swallowing Divine Beast is just a living?
Gu Hai saw that Li Shenji had not talked about the main topic for a long time, but he was not anxious. He patiently accompanied Li Shenji and chatted with him.
After chatting for a while, Li Shenji felt a little bored. He took a deep breath and began to talk about the main topic. "Division Leader Gu, just a month ago, His Holiness ordered me to reorganize the Shenji Battalion!"
"Oh? Congratulations, Battalion Commander Li! "Gu Hai raised his eyebrows and said Solemnly.
"I'm here for no other reason than the Shenji Token of the Shenji Battalion. Did you take it?" Li Shenji frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Divine Strategy Token? I did find one at Li Haoran's corpse! "Gu Hai nodded.
"It's good that you found out …!" Li Shenji smiled.
"But I accidentally lost it on my way back. If Battalion Commander Li wants it, you can look for it along the road leading to the old site of the Peony Sect! Maybe you can find it! "Gu Hai said.
Li Shenji's expression froze. Can't we have a proper conversation?
His subordinates behind him immediately glared at him.
However, Gu Hai spread his hands and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have made Battalion Commander Li come here for nothing. Battalion Commander Li is the battalion commander of the Da Qian Celestial Empire's Shenji Battalion, and I'm a division leader of Class One Hall. You and I are colleagues, but we're in different departments. When Battalion Commander Li is in trouble, Class One Hall and Shenji Battalion should work together and help each other. But this time, we can't help you!"
"Gu Hai, don't give us face …!" Li Shenji's subordinates immediately glared at Gu Hai.
"How dare you!" Li Shenji shouted.
His subordinates' expressions changed, and they quieted down, but they still glared at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai looked at the angry crowd and smiled. He was still wary of Li Shenji, but from Li Shenji's words just now, Gu Hai could tell that Li Shenji wouldn't fall out with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned that he was the battalion commander of Shenji Battalion.
"Division Leader Gu, I'm sorry for my lack of discipline!" Li Shenji said with a smile.
"It's fine! Your subordinates are also emotional people. I can understand! "Gu Hai said with a smile.
Gu Hai's subordinates were angry when they saw his lukewarm expression. Not long ago, they were cheated out of their money by Gu Hai's casino and beaten up. Now, they were scolded by their battalion commander because of Gu Hai. 'Emotional people? 'Emotional people my ass!'
"You can't find my Divine Strategy Token?" Li Shenji asked as he stared at Gu Hai.
"Not necessarily. Battalion Commander Li can go and look for it yourself. Perhaps you will find it soon!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
Li Shenji stared at Gu Hai for a while. Although this was just a short chat, he found that Gu Hai was more difficult to deal with than he thought.
Why did Xiao Chen not mention Li Haoran's death? That was because Li Haoran's death was related to the death of the Elite Hall Master. Although Princess Xiaoyue was killed by the culprit, it was done through Li Haoran. Hence, Xiao Chen could only leave this matter unsettled. Otherwise, it would be incredibly troublesome to investigate.
Gu Hai was actually impervious to all this, speaking flawlessly. This time, when Xiao Chen met Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen even changed his clothes, wearing casual clothes. He ignored his identity as the Han Dynasty's emperor and communicated with Xiao Chen as the Elite Hall's Water Division Master.
Given that, Xiao Chen had to be wary of Elite Hall.
"Hahaha! Division Master Gu is right. However, this humble one came from afar, and this is Division Master Gu's home ground. With one order from Division Master Gu, the world will tremble. Hence, I will have to trouble Division Master Gu. Earlier, Division Master Gu said that Elite Hall and the Shenji Battalion should work together and help each other. Naturally, this humble one agrees. Hence, I hope that Division Master Gu can help me this time!" Li Shenji said with a smile.
"That is natural. I'll immediately send someone to investigate!" Gu Hai nodded, agreeing readily. "That's right.
Li Shenji's subordinates appeared satisfied, but Li Shenji's expression froze. Can you be any more fake? It is clearly in your hands, yet you still make it sound so dignified?
"Battalion Commander Li, do you have any other needs? If I can help, I will do my best. How about it? "Gu Hai said with a smile.
Li Shenji gritted his teeth and said, "It's like this. To thank Division Master Gu for helping me find Divine Strategy Token, I am willing to use an important treasure to thank you for your help!"
"Oh? Battalion Commander Li, aren't you being too polite? "Gu Hai said with a smile.
Li Shenji flipped his hand and brought out a dazzling golden object. It was Xuanwu's Golden Armor, which he had stolen from Northern Sea not long ago.
Unfortunately, Gu Hai had only come into contact with the cultivation world for a short period of time, and he could not tell how good this item was. Besides, he did not believe that Li Shenji would give him an important treasure.
"Oh? What is this? "Gu Hai asked curiously.
"Battalion Commander, how can you give him Xuanwu's Golden Armor?" Xiao Chen's subordinates cried out in surprise.
It had to be known that they had spent a lot of effort to get Xuanwu's Golden Armor, so how could they give it to Gu Hai so easily?
"Shut up!" Li Shenji shouted coldly, stopping his subordinates from crying out in surprise.
"Xuanwu's Golden Armor?" Gu Hai's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.
Shangguan Hen, who was sitting not far away, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Hen suddenly stood up and called out.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Shangguan Hen in confusion.
"Battalion Commander Li is a guest from afar, and I have nothing to do recently. Why don't you let me lead some people to look for Divine Strategy Token?" Shangguan Hen said Solemnly.
"Oh?" Gu Hai was slightly taken aback. He looked at the Xuanwu's Golden Armor in Li Shenji's hand. This was because Gu Hai could tell that Shangguan Hen wanted it.
"Alright, Battalion Commander Li. Since that is the case, I will definitely help Battalion Commander Li find it!" Gu Hai said Solemnly with a smile.
Li Shenji looked at Shangguan Hen in confusion, but in the end, he nodded.
The Divine Strategy Token was with Gu Hai, but Gu Hai could not take it out right now.
They waited for another two days.
When Gu Hai brought Shangguan Hen and Guqin to meet Li Shenji, he took out the Divine Strategy Token.
"Division Leader Gu, thank you for your effort!" Li Shenji took the Divine Strategy Token and said with a cold smile.
"It is my duty. Class One Hall and the Shenji Battalion are on the same side. We will have many opportunities to work together in the future!" Gu Hai smiled as he took Xuanwu's Golden Armor.
Previously, Gu Hai did not think much of it. However, when he grabbed the Xuanwu's Golden Armor, he felt that this treasure was strange. When he casually shook it, clouds appeared in the surroundings, as though it was about to rain.
"In that case, this humble one will take his leave. We will meet again in the Divine Continent!" Li Shenji said with a smile.
"Alright!" Gu Hai nodded.
Whoosh!
A flying ship suddenly appeared. Then, Li Shenji led his subordinates into the distance on the flying ship.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the flying ship reached the horizon.
"Battalion Commander, why did you give the Xuanwu's Golden Armor to Gu Hai? The Divine Strategy Token is clearly with him. He is blackmailing us! "a subordinate said indignantly.
Li Shenji looked in the direction of the Han Dynasty and said with cold eyes, "I know that it is with him. However, he insists that he does not have it. What can you do?"
"Huh?"
"The Xuanwu's Golden Armor? Haha! Only the Xuanwu Race can use it. After studying it for some time, I discovered that not only can it not be used to refine enchanted treasures, but it is also a scourge. Miao Chen? Unexpectedly, even after Prime Xuanwu died eight hundred years ago, there are still so many Xuanwu Chens who remember him! "Li Shenji said coldly.
"Battalion Commander, are you trying to divert the scourge? Are you using Miao Chen to destroy the Han Dynasty? "a subordinate at the side said with bright eyes.
Li Shenji did not refute. Instead, he looked into the distance and said, "Alright, let's head to the imperial court immediately. His Holiness gave me three months. He must have something important for me to do!"
"Yes!"
Han Dynasty: In the imperial palace:
Gu Hai looked at the flying ship in the distance, and his eyes turned cold.
"Father, that Li Shenji is probably up to no good. There must be something bad about this Xuanwu's Golden Armor that we don't know about!" Guqin said with a complicated expression.
"I know!" Gu Hai nodded.
"Huh? Father knows? Then how …! "Guqin said blankly.
"I have studied the Divine Tactics Token, but I couldn't find anything. Perhaps only Li Shenji knows how to use it. Even if he doesn't get the Divine Tactics Token today, he will come to seek it through the Long Wanqing in the future. It will return to him sooner or later, so it is useless to keep it. However, the most important thing is that Shangguan Hen needs this Xuanwu's Golden Armor!" Gu Hai handed the Xuanwu's Golden Armor to Shangguan Hen.
Shangguan Hen looked at Gu Hai, and a bitter smile flashed in his eyes. Then, he nodded and said, "Yes. Many thanks, Your Majesty!"
Guqin looked at Shangguan Hen in confusion as he carefully received the Xuanwu's Golden Armor. "Mister Shangguan, what is the use of this Xuanwu's Golden Armor?"
"I stewed Yao Zhengtian into soup and ate it. This is also for eating!" Shangguan Hen explained.
Guqin: "…!"
Gu Hai also showed a confused expression. However, he did not ask for details.
Outside Nine-Five Island:
Boom!
A massive tsunami soared into the sky. The tsunami immediately pushed toward the shore, and a large area of forest was flooded. Fortunately, there were no residents here.
After the tsunami receded, Miao Chen's figure appeared.
Miao Chen stood on a mountain peak and looked coldly in the direction of the Han Dynasty's imperial palace.
"It has stopped? Prime, I, Miao Chen, swear to protect your shattered body with my life. No matter who it is, I will tear them into ten thousand pieces if they dare to tarnish your shattered body! "Miao Chen said coldly.
Boom!
Miao Chen stepped forward and shot towards the Dahan's imperial palace.
Rumble …!
With Miao Chen's arrival, dark clouds immediately gathered around Nine-Five Island. Lightning flashed and thunder roared as if a storm was approaching.
