Wang Shizhong explained.
"Senior Lu, may I have a word?"
Lu Zhou glanced at the boxes. There must be many talismans inside so he said, "What is it?"
"Court Master Yu holds an important position. Recently, we've discovered some hidden elites with unknown origins who killed many elites from the capital. Court Master Yu has to oversee the Sky Martial Court and can't leave on his own. That's why he requested for His Majesty to come and negotiate, "Wang Shizhong said.
"Aren't there many elites in the Sky Martial Court? Are there times when they're afraid?"
Wang Shizhong said, "The Sky Martial Court has many elites. It's difficult for them to gather in one place for a while. To tell you the truth, I didn't come to Cloud Mountain for the sake of the Sky Martial Court disciples. “
"What is it?" Lu Zhou could sense that this person's authority was greater than he had imagined.
Behind him, there might be a huge interest group.
Based on the silent Li Yunzheng's expression, Lu Zhou could tell this.
Lu Zhou wanted to see someone who was a man of his word.
Unfortunately, Li Yunzheng was a puppet emperor without any real power.
Wang Shizhong said, "Senior Lu … You're from the golden lotus domain, right?"
The others looked at him.
Eunuch Gao was slightly taken aback as well. He glanced at Wang Shizhong.
Lu Zhou did not nod or deny it. Instead, he continued to look at Si Wuya.
Wang Shizhong continued to speak.
"The golden and red domains are connected … I believe you didn't travel 10,000 miles across the Endless Ocean to conquer Great Tang, Senior Lu.
Ever since the Sky Martial Court studied the world beyond the heavens, they've created the Water Shuttle, the Sky Shuttle, the Sky Chariot, the red ship, and other transporters that can enter and leave the golden lotus domain freely.
300 years ago, the red lotus domain already had basic information about the golden lotus domain. 300 years later, the golden lotus domain's growth is awe-inspiring. However, as far as I know, the golden lotus domain is limited by the Nine-leaf stage. Nobody can reach the Nine-leaf stage. Later on, a new cultivation theory appeared. It's called the lotus-severing cultivation method.
After that, the golden lotus grew rapidly, and nine leaves appeared.
Even so, the golden lotus domain's overall strength is far inferior to the red lotus domain's. "
He paused for a moment.
He did not come to a conclusion. Instead, he looked at Lu Zhou and asked, "Senior Lu, am I right?"
Lu Zhou ignored him. Instead, he turned to look at Li Yunzheng and said, "You're the emperor. What do you think?"
Li Yunzheng pointed at himself. "Are you asking me … me?"
However, when Li Yunzheng saw everyone's eyes on him, he felt as though he was in charge of the world.
"In my opinion, although the two realms are connected, there should not be internal strife … or even killing and devouring each other."
"Whether it's the red lotus or the golden lotus, they're all humans. I have seen records in ancient books that humans have experienced countless Beast Calamities. The ancient texts clearly state that even if all of the strongest cultivators in the world were gathered together, they still wouldn't be a match for that vicious beast. After this battle, the people would have no way of making a living, and the cultivation world would practically be reduced to nothing. "
"There are also records in the ancient books …"
Before he could finish his words, Eunuch Gao's sharp voice sounded, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with today's negotiations. Your Majesty, please be brief."
As expected, Li Yunzheng remained silent.
Instead of being as angry as before, he became calmer and calmer than before.
He didn't know why he was like this.
The old mister's words rang in his mind as he slowly rose to his feet. His expression was calm as he said, "Bring me a saber."
"Your Majesty, you don't even have the strength to truss a chicken. Why do you need a saber?"
"Can't I even have the right to ask for a saber?" Li Yunzheng asked in a deep voice.
Wang Shizhong's interest was piqued. He wanted to see what the young emperor was going to do. Hence, he waved his hand and said, "Give me the saber, Your Majesty."
"Understood."
A soldier respectfully handed his saber to Li Yunzheng.
When Li Yunzheng picked up the saber, he nearly lost his footing. Some of the young eunuchs covered their mouths and laughed softly.
Li Yunzheng remained calm. Instead, he looked at Lu Zhou and said, "Old mister, you said that anyone who stands in my way should be dealt with, right?"
"That's right," Lu Zhou replied.
Li Yunzheng recalled the question he asked that night in the Ganlu Hall. "How am I supposed to deal with someone who can't even lift a saber?"
Now, he was faced with the same question again.
He was more realistic than ever.
Any ambiguous answer would not be able to help him resolve the predicament he was in.
Li Yunzheng used his actions to ask Lu Zhou this question.
Indeed, he was straightforward.
The sky above Cloud Mountain was clear, and the air was fresh. However, the oppressive air was suffocating.
Eunuch Gao indifferently picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself some water.
Drip!
Water dripped into the wine cup.
Shortly after, the cup was filled with tea.
Eunuch Gao raised the cup and emptied it in one gulp. Then, he placed the cup on the table. Thud! The cup sank half an inch into the table.
…
Nobody knew what the young emperor was thinking at this moment.
There was no need for them to pay attention to it.
After all, they were used to seeing such a scene.
However, there were times when the straw that broke the camel's back was often the unintentional repetition or even the small things that one had become accustomed to.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. "I'll repeat myself … Do your best."
Li Yunzheng. "…"
A smile appeared on Eunuch Gao's face.
Just like the palace maids and eunuchs behind him, they seemed to be enjoying the show.
Eunuch Gao said again, "Please calm down, Your Majesty. The bigger picture is more important."
At this moment, Li Yunzheng picked up the saber and walked up to Eunuch Gao. He enunciated each word clearly, "Gao Shiyuan, you've overstepped your authority and deceived your superiors time and time again. I'm going to cut you down today! "
He raised the saber and brought it down on Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao remained unperturbed. He raised two fingers. Bam!
He caught the saber.
As expected.
Li Yunzheng had guessed it.
His heart sank.
Eunuch Gao smiled as he apologized, "Please calm down, Your Majesty. I'll personally apologize to you when we return to the palace. There's no need for outsiders to laugh at us today."
Li Yunzheng felt that he had nothing else to lose now.
He had been cowardly in the palace for many years. He did not mind being cowardly this time.
It was not like he had never swung a saber at someone before. However, it was useless.
At this moment, Lu Zhou finally said, "Did you do your best?"
Li Yunzheng tightened his grip on the saber's hilt with both hands.
He appeared extremely weak before a cultivator.
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Gao raised his voice.
If this went on, his plan to come here today would go down the drain.
'What's wrong with the young emperor today?'
At this moment, Lu Zhou said indifferently, "Impudent!"
He raised his hand. His fingers glowed with blue light.
A blue palm seal swept past Li Yunzheng's shoulder at lightning speed. Bam!
It collided with the back of the saber.
The saber suddenly exerted force. Swoosh!
The saber forcefully severed three of Eunuch Gao's fingers.
"Ahh!"
Eunuch Gao's expression changed drastically as he screamed in pain.
The others widened their eyes in shock as they looked at the three bloody fingers that fell to the ground.
Li Yunzheng was momentarily stunned. The saber in his hand trembled before it fell to the ground with a clang.
