Chu Li said, "It's useless, you can't save him."
"What a vicious heart!" Leng Zhifei scoffed. This time, he ignored Leng Shouren and his body expanded into a ray of light that wrapped around Chu Li.
Chu Li used the Supreme Vajra Palm to counter.
"Bam bam bam bam …" Chu Li's Supreme Vajra Palm grew stronger and the golden light from the sky grew brighter. Leng Zhifei's body began to shine brighter too.
After ten palms, Leng Shouren screamed again and fell to the ground.
"Damn it!" Leng Zhifei roared and attacked with more than ten palms in a frenzy.
Chu Li knew that he was pretending to save Leng Shouren but he did not dare to be careless. He could only deal with them one by one and watched as Leng Shouren was hit by a palm energy.
Leng Shouren trembled and seemed to wake up.
Chu Li was shocked. Leng Zhifei's Soul Tracking Palm was amazing and could track souls.
Leng Shouren's soul was slowly torn apart by the God Killing Thunder Sword. The pain was unbearable but he did not faint. The pain was worse than death.
In the end, he could not take it anymore and fainted after exceeding his limit. This meant that he was finally freed. His soul could not withstand the torture and was about to shatter.
At this crucial moment, the Soul Tracking Palm came and saved his soul. It saved Leng Shouren's life.
Chu Li thought for a while and decided not to kill him.
Leng Shouren was half crippled now. Even if he recovered, he would be traumatized and would not be able to resist the God Killing Thunder Sword. He might even become a frightened bird and would not be a threat to Chu Li.
If Chu Li decided to kill him, Leng Zhifei would fight with his life.
There was no need to fight Leng Zhifei now. He was condensing the Rotating Wheel Tower. If he could master the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, his divine power would improve and he would be able to defeat Leng Zhifei.
The thought flashed through his mind and he did not shoot another God Killing Thunder Sword.
Leng Zhifei stood in front of Leng Shouren and stared at Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "I'll spare his life this time. If there's a next time, I won't let him go!"
"How arrogant!" Leng Zhifei said.
He realized that Chu Li was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined, so he was not in a hurry to fight. It was good enough that he could save Leng Shouren. If he really fought with Chu Li, it would be difficult to predict who would win. He had paid a huge price to enter this realm, so he could not leave so easily.
Chu Li said, "Let's have a chat."
"What is there to talk about?" Leng Zhifei asked in a deep voice.
He heaved a sigh of relief. He could tell that Chu Li did not intend to risk his life. At his current position, there was really no need for him to risk his life. Everything could be solved through negotiation. It would not be too late to make a move if things did not work out.
Chu Li said, "It's about the crown prince."
"You want to meddle in the internal affairs of the royal family?" Leng Zhifei frowned.
He was a strong and domineering monarch, and he could not allow others to encroach on his power. However, he was not blindly fierce and domineering. He knew the way to combine strength and gentleness, so he would not easily get angry or deny it.
Chu Li faintly said, "Electing a Crown Prince is not only an internal affair of the Leng Family, but also a major event in the world. As a member of the House of High Dukes, I have to say something."
"… Alright, feel free to speak your mind." Leng Zhifei was stunned. Only then did he remember Chu Li's other identity. He was the prince consort of the House of High Dukes' Crown Prince, so he was indeed qualified to participate in this matter. All twelve Houses of High Dukes had the authority.
Chu Li said, "If I let Xu An be the Crown Prince, His Majesty will definitely not agree."
Leng Shouren nodded vigorously.
Chu Li glanced at him and faintly smiled. "Why don't I take a step back and let King Ping be the Crown Prince?"
"King Ping is the Imperial Uncle, how can he be the Crown Prince!" Leng Shouren hurriedly said.
Of course, he wanted his son, Leng Feng, to be the Crown Prince. He would not allow an outsider to be the Crown Prince.
Chu Li smiled and looked at Leng Zhifei. "I think that compared to Leng Feng, King Ping is more suitable to be the Crown Prince, or even the future Emperor. It's not like you don't know the current situation. An Emperor who knows how to use military force is very important. It's an invisible deterrent."
Leng Zhifei remained silent.
He was persuaded by Chu Li. The chaotic times had arrived, and the current situation needed an Emperor who knew how to use military force. He had also examined King Ping. Although he had no great ambition and had been focusing on scenery and pleasure, he had concealed his sharpness.
The most important thing for a person who knew how to use military force was to be indifferent to everything. Only then could he be calm and unbiased. He would not make a wrong judgment that would cause damage to the army.
King Ping, Leng Shouqian, was also very talented in using military force. He was indeed an excellent Emperor who knew how to use military force.
"Ancestral Master!" Leng Shouren saw that Leng Zhifei was tempted and said anxiously, "My Imperial Brother and I have never been on good terms. Once he becomes the Emperor, I'm afraid that Feng Er's life … Ancestral Master, please reconsider!"
Leng Zhifei said calmly, "Let King Ping make an Enlightened Master's Oath that he will not harm Feng Er's life."
As an Emperor, the country was the most important thing. He had to put aside his personal feelings and be responsible for his ancestors, not his useless children.
More importantly, Chu Li was on good terms with King Ping, and Chu Li was also on good terms with Fa Yuan from the Tempest Temple.
If King Ping were to inherit the throne in the future, based on Chu Li's friendship, King Ping and Fa Yuan would not be too bad. His throne would be unusually stable, and the Ji Dynasty would have the foundation to prosper. The disharmony between the civil and military forces had always been a chronic problem, and there was hope that it could be solved.
He did a thorough investigation on Chu Li, and he was also very clear about Chu Li's friends and enemies. Chu Li was strong not only because of his martial arts, but also because of the friends he had. Although he did not have many friends, all of them were strong.
Leng Shouren hurriedly said, "Ancestral Master!"
Leng Zhifei waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's decided. I will make King Ping the Crown Prince."
Chu Li smiled.
If King Ping became the Emperor, King An's Imperial Residence and Yi Public House could guarantee that there would be no more trouble. His rear was stable, and he could focus on dealing with Asura. If the Ji Dynasty always harbored ill intentions towards King An's Imperial Residence and Yi Public House, he would have to be on guard at all times, and it would take too much energy.
Leng Zhifei said, "But the Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince, not the Emperor. The current Emperor is still Shouren."
Chu Li smiled. "Of course, I shall take my leave then!"
"Goodbye!" Leng Zhifei said.
After Chu Li suddenly disappeared, Leng Shouren looked at Leng Zhifei helplessly.
Leng Zhifei scoffed. "Don't think about going against him, it's not worth it. Think about how to win him over. If you want the Ji Dynasty to become stronger, what you need is not to suppress those who are stronger than you, but to make use of them. If you can make use of all the talents in the world, why would the Ji Dynasty need to worry about not being able to prosper? Can't we replace the Fu Dynasty? "
"Yes, Ancestral Master." Leng Shouren nodded respectfully.
He was not worried that he would not be noticed by Leng Zhifei because the position of an Enlightened Master was conferred by the Grandmaster. Even if the Ancestral Master was a Celestial, he could not change it. He was only worried that he would be blamed when he reached the Grandmaster.
However, he had never thought about replacing the Fu Dynasty. The Fu Dynasty was too powerful. Not only did they have the Tang Family, but they also had Goddess Attraction Mountain. Now that the Tang Family was not powerful, there was still Goddess Attraction Mountain. Now that Chu Li was in charge of Goddess Attraction Mountain, it was even more difficult to shake it.
Leng Zhifei saw through his thoughts and shook his head. A hero who had no ambition and acted despite knowing that it was difficult was the way to do so. How could the Ji Dynasty become stronger if he retreated when faced with difficulties?
Unfortunately, although he was the Ancestral Master, he could not change the Emperor. He could only rely on King Ping.
Fairy Attraction Mountain
Pang Shiji, dressed in white, came out of Xiao Qi's courtyard and gently closed the door. Then, he turned around and walked slowly, thinking about the sword technique he had learned earlier.
