Leng Zhifei scoffed. "What buts!"
Leng Shouren said, "Elder Ancestor, I'm worried about Chu Li. If we treat him like this, he'll definitely be angered. Will he come here and even kill me?"
"Heh, you're really …" Leng Zhifei shook his head and sighed. "You're such a bad judge of character!"
Leng Shouren felt awkward but his expression remained calm. He fist saluted. "Elder Ancestor, please guide me. I think this is a dangerous step. I know a little about Chu Li. He's stubborn and unyielding. He may seem easygoing but he's actually very stubborn and will never obey orders. This step will definitely anger him. He won't even blink when he kills the other emperors. Chen Zhenji of the Qiu Dynasty and two emperors of the Fu Dynasty died in his hands. I won't make a difference!"
"How can you compare to the emperors of the Zheng Dynasty and Fu Dynasty?" Leng Zhifei said snappily. "You're the emperor of the Ji Dynasty and he's a citizen of the Ji Dynasty!"
Leng Shouren pondered.
Leng Zhifei said, "He killed the emperors of the Qiu Dynasty and Fu Dynasty. The people of the Ji Dynasty cheered and saw him as a hero. However, if he kills you, he'll be a traitor. He'll be cursed for the rest of his life!"
Leng Shouren nodded slowly.
Then, he shook his head. "That's true but he's no longer in the Ji Dynasty. He belongs to Goddess Attraction Mountain and belongs to the Fu Dynasty. He might not care about such empty titles. At his level, empty titles don't matter anymore."
"This is the first obstacle." Leng Zhifei raised his left index finger. "The second obstacle is feelings. You've noticed that he's a sentimental person."
"Yes." Leng Shouren nodded. "He's a sentimental person indeed!"
There was a hint of disdain in his tone.
As a person who did not care about sentiments, he was naturally repulsed by sentimental people. Their existence seemed to serve as a foil to his ruthlessness and cruelty. It was truly displeasing.
Leng Zhifei raised his left middle finger and said coldly, "Sentimental people are the weakest and easiest to manipulate. As long as we hold onto what he values, so what if he's the best in martial arts? He has martial arts but he can't use it. He's trapped by his emotions! "
He glanced at Leng Shouren coldly.
Leng Shouren furrowed his brows and said, "I know that he values the House of High Duke the most because he was born there, and it's also his wife's home."
"That's right." Leng Zhifei scoffed and said, "As long as we control the House of High Dukes, he won't be able to escape from us. Even if we have to teach you a lesson, we won't kill you. At most, we'll just teach you a lesson."
Leng Shouren let out a bitter smile, his heart palpitating.
He did not want to experience Chu Li's torture again. It was worse than death, and the mere thought of it sent chills down his spine.
Leng Zhifei said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I won't allow him to torture you!"
"Sigh …" Leng Shouren sighed.
Leng Zhifei said, "He has two wives, right? Two wives are two shackles, and with the addition of King An's Imperial Residence, that's three shackles. There's also the burden of his original reputation, so that's four shackles. Under these four shackles, it'll be very difficult for him to break free and make up his mind to kill you. "
"Ancestor." Leng Shouren smiled bitterly. "Last time, I knew he wanted to kill me."
"That's because you touched his reverse scale." Leng Zhifei scoffed and said, "This shows how much he values relationships. He's willing to kill for them, and he's willing to suffer for them. Trust me, he'll definitely listen to your orders!"
Leng Shouren still had no confidence. He felt that Chu Li would not give in so easily.
"Clap clap! Clap clap! "Applause suddenly rang out.
Leng Zhifei and Leng Shouren immediately turned their heads and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
However, the surroundings were filled with flowers. The exotic flowers and plants were full of life under the daytime light, but there was no sign of anyone.
The two of them leaped into the void and looked down at the entire Imperial Garden.
The Imperial Garden was empty. There was not a single Imperial Maid. They had all been chased out to prevent them from listening to their discussion.
"Are the two of you looking for me?" Chu Li suddenly appeared in front of them. It was as if there was a door in the void. He pushed the door open and took a step forward.
"Chu Li!" Leng Shouren shuddered and sighed to himself. He finally came looking for him!
He could not help but recall the situation when he was attacked by the Thunder Sword of God. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he could not help but want to escape.
Leng Zhifei scoffed. "Chu Li, are you here for the conscription?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I'd like to ask, Elder Ancestor, why did you declare war on the Zheng Dynasty?"
"For the prosperity of the Ji Dynasty, of course." Leng Zhifei scoffed.
Chu Li could not help but laugh as he shook his head. "Elder Ancestor, do you think I'm a three-year-old? How dare you say such deceitful words! "
"Although the Zheng Dynasty is strong, almost all of their Celestials have been killed. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation!" Leng Zhifei said. "Moreover, I've already made an agreement with the Qiu Dynasty's imperial family to send troops together!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "The Qiu Dynasty? Chen Changmao? "
"Yes!" Leng Zhifei said. "Do you think I'm a three-year-old who would treat the Ji Dynasty as a game if I'm not confident of winning?"
Chu Li shook his head disapprovingly. "If the Qiu Dynasty joins forces with you, what about the Fu Dynasty and the Li Dynasty? One word from the Fu Dynasty and the Qiu Dynasty will immediately become your enemy. There's also the Li Dynasty. Will they take the opportunity to join forces with the Zheng Dynasty to attack the Ji Dynasty? "
Leng Zhifei smiled. "The Li Dynasty … They have you, Chu Li!"
Chu Li frowned.
Leng Zhifei said, "I know you have a good relationship with the bishop of the Holy Church of Light. The bishop of the Holy Church of Light has great influence on the Li Dynasty. As long as she says the word, the Li Dynasty won't make a move. As for the Fu Dynasty, they can't even fend for themselves now. Moreover, there's Goddess Attraction Mountain. The Fu Dynasty's imperial family is weak while the Goddess Attraction Mountain is strong. As long as the Goddess Attraction Mountain doesn't say anything, the Fu Dynasty won't make a move. As long as you join the Ji Dynasty's army, the Ji Dynasty will definitely win. Chu Li, as a disciple of the Ji Dynasty, you won't object, right? Moreover, we're just borrowing your name. You don't have to do anything! "
Chu Li said coldly, "Elder Ancestor, you're really scheming!"
Leng Zhifei smiled calmly. "Everything is for the Ji Dynasty and the people of the Ji Dynasty!"
Chu Li said, "Then I'll tell you, Elder Ancestor. Although I have a good relationship with the bishop of the Holy Church of Light, personal feelings don't matter when the country is at stake. if the Ji Dynasty sends troops, the Li Dynasty will definitely take advantage of the situation!"
Leng Zhifei frowned.
Chu Li scoffed. "As for Goddess Attraction Mountain, that's a joke. Goddess Attraction Mountain doesn't care about worldly affairs. No matter how weak the Fu Dynasty's imperial family is, Goddess Attraction Mountain won't suppress them. They'll only support them. Moreover, I'm only a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain and my master is above me. The Fu Dynasty's imperial family will never allow the Ji Dynasty to take advantage of the situation. The Qiu Dynasty isn't reliable at all. Even if there's a Celestial Being there to suppress them, it'll be useless. It's not like the Fu Dynasty doesn't have a Celestial Being!"
That was then, and this was now. Back then, he was dissatisfied with the Fu Dynasty's tyrannical and shameless behavior. He wanted to overthrow the Fu Dynasty's rule, but now, he wanted to maintain the original situation. He did not want any more variables to prevent the people from being plunged into misery and suffering.
"So, Chu Li, you don't want to help?" Leng Zhifei's eyes flashed like lightning.
Chu Li said slowly, "Forgive me for my incompetence. Please retract your order!"
