Seeing their expressions, Hou Zhengming immediately knew that they wanted to assassinate Zhong Wancheng. He had a complicated expression and sighed after a while. "I hope you don't kill him."
Sun Mingyue shook her head. "Your Royal Highness, you have a good idea. Unfortunately, swords have no eyes. It's hard to tell if he's dead or if we fail, we'll die in his hands."
"If the two nations don't fight …" Hou Zhengming looked towards the south and sighed. He knew that it was his own wishful thinking.
The two nations would fight every few years or decades. There would always be people who would provoke them, and sometimes, the ministers would challenge them.
The Li Dynasty could suppress the Ji Dynasty but could not invade because of the Qiu Dynasty. Otherwise, if the Li Dynasty invaded the Ji Dynasty, the Ji Dynasty would become stronger and would no longer be afraid of the Qiu Dynasty.
Because of this, the Qiu Dynasty would fight from time to time to weaken the Li Dynasty or restrain them. They could not focus on attacking the Ji Dynasty and prevent the Li Dynasty from becoming stronger.
These complicated relationships made it almost impossible for the two nations to live in peace.
"Your Royal Highness, we'll take our leave first." Sun Mingyue fist saluted.
"Forgive me for not seeing you off." Hou Zhengming fist saluted.
Chu Li fist saluted as well. The two held hands and disappeared.
Hou Zhengming stared at the spot where they disappeared and thought to himself. If he was not mistaken, the two were holding hands. The Saint had always been arrogant and would never talk to men.
Now that she was holding hands with a man, it would be a sensational piece of news if this were to be leaked.
In fact, it was not surprising since Chu Li was the only man in the world who was worthy of the Saint. It was not a bad thing for the two to be together as it was beneficial for the Li Dynasty. Unfortunately, Chu Li was born in the Ji Dynasty.
He shook his head and spun the jade ball. The jade ball emitted a dense aura that entered his body and nourished it.

Chu Li and Sun Mingyue appeared in the Divine Light Basilica.
Sun Mingyue looked at Chu Li. "How is it?"
Chu Li shook his head and closed his eyes. Zhong Wancheng's face appeared in his mind. With a thought, the Omniscient Mirror lit up. Then, shadows began to flicker, but they were all red.
Chu Li knew that this was the inauspicious energy. The soaring inauspicious energy shrouded the Omniscient Mirror, preventing it from displaying the image clearly. It seemed to be interfering with its operation and resisting the Heavenly Star Insight Technique.
The golden symbols on the back of the Omniscient Mirror began to shine brighter and brighter. The golden light seemed to pierce through the red light and dispel them.
The Omniscient Mirror immediately displayed a clear image. The scenes kept changing, flashing and disappearing as if one was watching a lantern on horseback.
After a while, Chu Li opened his eyes and sighed.
"How is it?" Sun Mingyue asked. "Did you divine anything?"
"Zhong Wancheng will be assassinated, but he won't be in any danger." Chu Li shook his head slowly.
What he saw in his mind was not two assassins, but twenty-five top-notch masters from the Great Light Peak. Each of them was more than a hundred years old, and they were not supposed to enter the martial arts world. However, at this moment, they were making their move.
However, in the end, all twenty-five top-notch masters were killed. They could not even get close to Zhong Wancheng and were slaughtered by Zhong Wancheng's protectors. These protectors' cultivation levels were higher than theirs and they were like fish in water when they were in the army. On the other hand, the Great Light Peak masters were weakened when they entered the army. Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that the entire army was annihilated.
Chu Li observed the protectors thoughtfully and realized that they had great chemistry with each other. Moreover, they had formed a formation that condensed their cultivation level into one. Coupled with the help of the military formation, the two stacked on top of each other created a terrifying force.
Even if he and Sun Mingyue went there, they might not be able to win.
They would only stand a chance if they broke their formation first.
Sun Mingyue frowned. "We didn't succeed?"
Chu Li said, "According to my deduction, we didn't go."
"Why is that?" Sun Mingyue was surprised.
Chu Li wanted to say something but stopped and turned to look at the main gate.
Song Wanqing appeared at the main gate silently and glanced at Chu Li.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and bowed. "Greetings, Senior."
Song Wanqing nodded with a cold expression. "Mingyue can't go along with your nonsense."
Sun Mingyue asked, "Master, are your injuries better?"
"They're fine. Mingyue, you're not allowed to go along with Chu Li's nonsense. He's always causing trouble!" Song Wanqing nodded.
Sun Mingyue revealed a helpless expression. "Master, we're discussing serious matters this time. We're going to assassinate Zhong Wancheng and end this war."
"You don't have to show up for this. The old fellows from the other peaks are bored and making trouble out of nothing. It's just as well to let them go! "Song Wanqing said.
Chu Li sighed.
Sun Mingyue frowned and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "Senior, according to what I know, there are twenty protectors around Zhong Wancheng forming a formation. I wonder if you know what formation it is?"
"Eight Direction Formation. It's rare for you to know about this!" Song Wanqing said.
Chu Li sighed. "I wonder how many people you're going to send to assassinate him?"
"About twenty or so." Song Wanqing pondered. "If there's too many, it'll be hard to succeed if there's too much movement. If there's too little, it'll be hard to succeed. Twenty or twenty-five is just right."
"If you trust me, it's better not to send them to their deaths." Chu Li shook his head. "They're no match for the Eight Direction Formation. They'll only be annihilated."
He could clearly see what would happen to these people. Naturally, he had to stop them.
Song Wanqing chuckled. "You deduced this? Your Heaven Peering Skill is at a very high level. "
Chu Li nodded calmly. "I deduced it."
"Then can you predict who I'm going to send?" Song Wanqing looked at him with a smile. She was as beautiful as a flower.
Chu Li pondered for a while and nodded slowly. "Alright, I'll try."
Song Wanqing looked at him in surprise.
Could it be that the Divination Skill could reach such a level?
"Serve me a brush and ink!" Chu Li turned to look at Sun Mingyue.
Sun Mingyue pointed at her desk.
Chu Li came to the back of the desk and sat down. He picked up the brush and started to write on the paper.
A moment later, it was a portrait. He picked it up and started the second one. He drew the portraits of twenty-five people in one go. Finally, he put down the brush and blew on it gently.
He raised his head and smiled at Song Wanqing. "Senior, please take a look. Is it correct?"
Song Wanqing looked at the twenty-five paintings one by one. Suddenly, she pressed down and the paper turned into powder and fell.
"Master, is that right?" Sun Mingyue asked curiously.
Song Wanqing looked at him with rapt attention. Her bright eyes flickered and she revealed a smile. "You do have some ability!"
Chu Li smiled. "In that case, senior still wants to send them?"
"Of course." Song Wanqing nodded lightly.
Chu Li was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization.
He wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.
"Master!" Sun Mingyue frowned.
Song Wanqing said, "They should go and assassinate. As for whether they succeed or not, it might not be as you see it."
Chu Li smiled and nodded without saying anything else.
"Master!" Sun Mingyue said angrily, "We can't let them die!"
