"Your Majesty?" Ning Ze's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Hmm." Zheng Xilai pondered and nodded slowly. "Alright, pass the news to Black Tortoise Mountain. Be discreet and don't expose any flaws!"
"Yes!" Ning Ze nodded excitedly. "There are spies from Black Tortoise Mountain in the army. I just need to expose some flaws and they will investigate themselves. By then, they won't be able to track us down!"
"Hmm, very good." Zheng Xilai nodded and showed a look of approval. "You've been wronged this time!"
Ning Ze quickly said, "Your Majesty, why do you say that? I don't deserve it!"
"Go." Zheng Xilai waved his hand in satisfaction.
Ning Ze bowed deeply and left.
Zheng Xilai returned to the military tent. Sun Mingyue was already sitting cross-legged on the bed. Seeing him enter, she glanced at him and said, "Start spreading the news now. I think Chu Li will be here soon."
"You think Chu Li will definitely come?" Zheng Xilai asked.
Sun Mingyue nodded. "According to my understanding of him, he will definitely come."
"If he really wants to kill you, why not just go to Divine Light Basilica? He knows this is a trap. Will he still come?" Zheng Xilai smiled.
"If I don't come, he might not go to Divine Light Basilica to kill me. Sun Mingyue said faintly, "He is not a narrow-minded person. He is broad-minded. Even if I betrayed him, he would not kill me immediately. But now that I have helped His Majesty set up this trap, he will want to kill me."
"Hehe, it seems like Leader Sun still has feelings for Chu Li." Zheng Xilai shook his head.
Sun Mingyue said, "It doesn't matter anymore. Now we can only meet in life and death. This is how the world is. As Enlightened Masters, we can't be free."
"Hmph, Chu Li is free." Zheng Xilai scoffed.
He thought of Chu Li killing Grandmasters and could not help but feel jealous. As Enlightened Masters, they had to follow the rules but Chu Li could do whatever he wanted without scruples. It was too unfair.
Unfortunately, there was no way to reason this out. The Grandmasters would not give you a chance to speak.
Sun Mingyue said, "Who can be truly free? With Chu Li's martial arts, isn't it the same? "
"How can that be the same? He chose to be where he is now. He wasn't forced." Zheng Xilai shook his head. "He's different from us."
"It's the same." Sun Mingyue shook her head and said, "Actually, he didn't want to fight. Why should he take the risk at this point? But his conscience was uneasy, so he could only brace himself and stand out."
"Haha, who asked him to be the number one master in the world? He can't just watch the people of the Great Ji Dynasty suffer. Even if he's the number one master in the world, he doesn't have the heart to be the number one master in the world. He can't treat the people like dogs, and he'll never be able to live in peace." Zheng Xilai laughed out loud and was very proud of himself.
As an emperor, he needed to love his people. However, this love was not out of pity but out of interest. In his eyes, the people were like cattle and sheep. They were just property. He would feel heartache if they were lost, but he would not think for the people.
Chu Li's martial arts was high, but he was soft-hearted. He was destined to be a tragedy. His final ending would be unspeakably tragic.
Sun Mingyue glanced at him and said nothing.
If Chu Li had a cold and hard heart, she would have cut off everything a long time ago.
Zheng Xilai was overjoyed and laughed for a while. Then, he slowly stopped smiling. "This is the soft-heartedness of a woman. It's really laughable when it comes to the number one master in the world!"
Sun Mingyue's eyes suddenly turned cold.
She could not bear to hear others speak ill of Chu Li.
However, Zheng Xilai thought that she was angry because of those words. He quickly smiled and said, "Bishop, please don't misunderstand. I don't mean to look down on women."
"Your Majesty, why do you have to say one thing and mean another?" Sun Mingyue calmly said, "Let's talk about the Blood Dragon Tree. Will Priest Zhao be able to return to the Great Light Peak safely?"
"Oh, what do you mean, Bishop?" Zheng Xilai was stunned.
Sun Mingyue said, "You won't deliberately leak the news and have someone kill Priest Zhao, will you?"
"Of course not!" Zheng Xilai firmly denied. "What kind of person do you think I am?"
"I hope so," Sun Mingyue said. "In that case, it's better for you to be careful, Your Majesty. You should leave quickly and not wait for Chu Li."
"Bishop, I've decided to wait for him with you," Zheng Xilai said in a low voice.
Sun Mingyue looked at him in surprise.
She could see that Zheng Xilai was guilty and timid. As an emperor, how could he not care about his life? Even if he could ascend to the Outland after his death, it would not be as comfortable there as it was here. No matter how restricted he was, he was still the emperor and supreme.
"As long as Chu Li enters," Zheng Xilai said, "I'll be able to kill Chu Li!"
Sun Mingyue said thoughtfully, "It seems that Your Majesty has another special skill."
"That's right!" Zheng Xilai chuckled. "I won't hide it from you, Bishop. I've cultivated a mystical technique. As long as Chu Li enters the formation and cuts off his connection with spiritual energy, I can use this mystical technique to kill Chu Li!"
"His swordsmanship is the best," Sun Mingyue said.
Zheng Xilai smiled and pulled his yellow robe, revealing the faintly glowing clothing underneath. He said proudly, "No matter how good his swordsmanship is or how sharp his Sky Regicide is, he won't be able to break my treasured clothing. This is a treasured clothing obtained from the Outland."
Sun Mingyue asked, "What about your neck?"
Zheng Xilai extended his arm to block and smiled. "If I can't protect my neck, then I have nothing to say. To be honest, Bishop, my special skill can gather the power of the military formation. When Chu Li's martial arts is weakened, my martial arts will increase. When that time comes … Hmph!"
He showed a proud expression.
Sun Mingyue nodded lightly and was calm.
She was inexplicably worried. Zheng Xilai was so well-prepared. If Chu Li really broke in, the outcome would be unpredictable. If it came down to it, the two of them could only work together to defeat Zheng Xilai. However, Zheng Xilai would not be the only one in the tent.
She could not sense an ambush now but she believed that there must be one. It was just that it was hidden very well.
—
When Chu Li walked into a forest, he suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He saw the thoughts in Ning Ze's mind and knew that he wanted to harm him.
He decided to play with this group of people and spread Zhao Dahe's name. Zhao Dahe had not appeared for a while and the people in the martial arts world had forgotten his name. It was time to spread his name again. It would be more advantageous in the future.
However, compared to this, the Dragon's Blood Tree was more important. He did not dare to delay and immediately returned to the island of the High Duke's Public House.
The place with the densest spiritual energy was his small courtyard. The existence of the Glory's Will Courtyard made the island's spiritual energy dense and the small courtyard was the place with the highest concentration of spiritual energy. Unfortunately, the characteristics of the Dragon's Blood Tree determined that it could not be placed next to the Glory's Will Tree.
Otherwise, the Dragon's Blood Tree might devour the Glory's Will Tree and it would not be worth it.
With the Dragon's Blood Tree, the Soaring Grass, the Dragon's Blood Fruit, and the Soaring Pill, in addition to the Surpassing State, it would not be difficult to create a Grandmaster. It was time to cultivate his own forces. He could not do things by himself all day long. His time would be spent fighting with his opponents and he would not have the energy to pay attention to more important things.
The Dragon's Blood Tree was the key. He could not wait to grow it and then mature it into a Dragon's Blood Fruit.
Xue Ling's white clothes fluttered as she approached. She saw Chu Li holding two wooden boxes and reached out to take them.
