"Go back?" Mengqi pretended to be at a loss as he replied telepathically.
Could it be that Zhuo Biting knew that he came from the future?
After going through so many things, Mengqi was no longer someone who would casually expose his own shortcomings. Who knew what Zhuo Biting was referring to. Going back to the Void Hometown, the embrace of the Ajati Matriarch, was also called going back!
Therefore, Zhuo Biting's words were most likely just to preach, to rope in the Dharmakaya who had yet to join any forces, so there was no rush to make a fuss.
However, thinking about the Ajati Matriarch behind Zhuo Biting, the Golden Emperor, one of the five ancient emperors, who was most likely a big shot from the Nirvana Realm, Mengqi felt that it was not that simple.
Zhuo Biting slowed down her pace and brushed past Mengqi. Her voice was filled with obvious sincerity and reverence, "You can come here because you were affected by the collision between the Qing Emperor and the core of the Bell of the Eastern Emperor. The Ajati Matriarch also woke up a little and sent down some divine power to help the latter. How could she not know what happened to you?"
The collision between the Qing Emperor and the core of the Bell of the Eastern Emperor? The intervention of the Ajati Matriarch? Mengqi suddenly remembered that he saw the divine light descending from the sky before he fell into a deep sleep because of the green light. The Power of Will surrounded it, as if a celestial world had opened its door.
So that was the power of the Ajati Matriarch!
It turned out that the bell that he first heard came from the core of the Bell of the Eastern Emperor. It had fallen into the hands of the Great Sage of Meishan, Yuan Hong!
And their enemy turned out to be the Qing Emperor, the Qing Emperor that Lu Ya asked him to find!
He actually directly walked through the world, not entering a state of primal chaos and slumber, only leaving behind a dao mark. He didn't bury himself either, avoiding the erosion of time. Just this ability alone was enough to make others gasp in amazement. He was like the only deity that walked through the mortal world during the Last Days. What level of cultivation did he reach now?
"What are you trying to say?" Mengqi asked directly.
To be precise, he wanted to know what the Ajati Matriarch wanted to say.
Zhuo Biting slowly walked towards the door, her body shrouded in holy light. She solemnly transmitted her voice, "It is not time for the Ajati Matriarch to return, but she woke up a little because of the Qing Emperor. She has consumed some energy and needs to make up to ensure that she will return in the most perfect state when the catastrophe breaks out. So I need you to do something. When the time comes, it will be trivial to protect you to return to the future without any consumption."
"The Ajati Matriarch is one of the most influential people in the world. She has many allies and the Luo Denomination under her command. She's full of talents. What matter do you need me to do?" Meng Qi asked as he casually chatted with Qiu Han, the master of the Palace of Mohism.
Zhuo Biting replied solemnly, "It's not that it has to be you, but because of your relationship with the Devil Buddha, Ajati Matriarch wants to help you. It's your honor and your luck to let go of the past and bury the hatchet. In today's world, only Ajati Matriarch has the ability and is willing to help you. And what she wants you to do is not too dangerous. I can tell you now what it is."
Her voice was calm and full of certainty. Such good conditions for cooperation were given for free.
Meng Qi's expression changed a few times. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, and his voice sounded a little tired.
"I refuse."
"You refuse?" Zhuo Biting stopped, her voice full of shock and astonishment.
Someone actually dared to reject the good intentions of one of the most influential figures in the world!
This kind of kindness was something that others could not get even after sitting in front of the Buddha for thousands of years and smashing countless wooden fish!
And he did not even listen to the conditions!
Is he crazy?
Zhuo Biting did not care about Qiu Han's presence. She turned around and transmitted her voice in a tone that was no longer elegant, "You have to think carefully. If you miss it, even if you are careful, the power of correction will accumulate over time. In less than a year, you will have to return. At that time, without protection, you will be torn into pieces by the river of time."
"I still choose to refuse." Mengqi smiled and his tone did not waver.
Zhuo Biting's tone became confused and impatient, "You don't even listen to what the matter is before you make a decision?"
"No matter what it is, I refuse. Because she is the Ajati Matriarch, and because there is a girl named Gu Xiaosang." Mengqi still had a smile on his face, as if he had forgotten the pain, sorrow, and hatred, "I know the best and most rational choice is to pretend to be polite. I will temporarily put aside other things and choose to cooperate. When I return to the future, I will turn against her."
He paused and said, "But I can't do it. I know this choice is stupid, but I would rather be stupid. Some hatred is absolutely irreconcilable, not to mention cooperation."
Zhuo Biting's holy and elegant feeling seemed to break down, "Aren't you afraid of death? If hatred makes you not afraid of death, then what about others? Don't you care about others, your peers, your seniors and brothers? "
Mengqi smiled, "If they want to cooperate with the Ajati Matriarch, I will not stop them, nor will I hate them. I can risk my life for them, but I will not yield to them."
"Some people can be killed, but they cannot be conquered."
Zhuo Biting shook her head blankly and muttered to herself, "Lunatic, you are a lunatic."
Meng Qi didn't care at all. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Now that you've lost your holy and solemn appearance, you look more alive. But in the future, when you can't control your emotions, just smile. If you want to laugh because you can't control yourself, then get angry. Don't show your emotions to your enemies."
What is he talking about? Zhuo Biting was confused and finally came back to her senses. She pursed her lips and became serious again, "I believe you will regret it."
After saying that, she turned and left, her steps were much bigger than before. The maidservant followed closely behind, looking back frequently, not understanding why the Saintess lost her composure.
Mengqi withdrew his gaze and looked at Qiu Han, who had been silent for a long time. He smiled and said, "Palace Master Qiu, if I want to meet the Sage of Instrument, where should I send the visiting card?"
"Just give it to me. The Sage of Instrument should not refuse your request, Mr. Su." Qiu Han tactfully did not mention the matter just now.
"I have something to do outside. I will send the visiting card when I return." After saying that, Mengqi changed the topic and asked, "Why did the Saintess of Luo Denomination suddenly appear in Darkness Palace?"
Qiu Han laughed and said, "Luo Denomination wants to exchange some things with Darkness Palace. Not long after she arrived, Mr. Su arrived."
"From the looks of it, Zhuo Biting has been waiting for me …" Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully. Then, he and Qiu Han began discussing the mechanisms and refining.
…
After an hour, Mengqi left the Flower Hall and returned to the place where many teleportation formations were set up.
The light in front of him flashed continuously. Every time it lit up and dimmed, it brought many goods, letters, or warriors who could withstand the power of teleportation.
After finding the teleportation formation that led to the Zhen Wu Secret Chamber, Mengqi was about to step into it when he suddenly saw the teleportation formation next to him light up. A figure quickly appeared and stepped out without waiting for the light to go out.
It was an old man with a high crown and an ancient robe. His hair was silver like snow and his eyes carried the wisdom of the years.
And Mengqi had seen this person before. Mengqi had also sensed his breath.
The Sage of Arithmetic? Mengqi was slightly surprised. The Sage of Arithmetic only rushed to Luocheng after the saints besieged him?
The old man was the ancestor of the Wang family, the Sage of Arithmetic, Wang Daolin, who died under the blade of Ananda. He left behind the family motto, "Don't calculate everything, don't go too far, don't say everything".
The Sage of Arithmetic noticed Mengqi's gaze. He turned his head and nodded with a smile, "Could it be Su Meng, my young friend, who subdued the five sects with one sword?"
Hehe, he is indeed a fraud … Mengqi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I am. Why are you so late, Sage of Arithmetic?"
"I was delayed because of other matters. I didn't expect to miss the matter of capturing the Taishang Demon," the Sage of Arithmetic answered with a smile.
Mengqi's heart moved. He said with a faint smile, "I thought you found an excuse to be late because you calculated that The Conqueror was involved in this matter and felt that there was no need to confront him directly."
The Sage of Arithmetic raised his right hand and shook his index finger, "You seem to know me very well."
He admitted frankly and squinted his eyes, "Your mysteries of heaven are chaotic, I actually can't see anything."
"This matter is special," Mengqi said modestly.
The Sage of Arithmetic didn't get to the bottom of it. He sighed, "Since I'm already late, I have other matters to attend to. I won't be entering Luocheng."
He looked to his left and chose another long-distance teleportation formation. He nodded at Mengqi and was ready to leave.
Mengqi glanced at the teleportation formation. His heart suddenly fluctuated. He frowned and asked, "Where are you going, Sage of Arithmetic?"
The Sage of Arithmetic turned around and said with a faint smile, "Jade Emperor Mountain."
…
Somewhere in Luocheng.
The Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword, whose face was as pale as snow, stood at the window.
Someone behind him reported, "I don't know where Su Meng went. Even He Qi is gone."
The Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword said faintly, "Continue to look for him. We can't let a swordsman with such great potential grow up."
