He had never thought about this.
From his point of view, there were only two possible successors to the throne. It was either King Jing or him. The others were delusional. It was impossible for King An to be the successor. In terms of morals and martial arts, he did not have an advantage in either.
Chu Li's words had opened a door for him.
Although it was somewhat absurd, there were many absurd things in the world. Experts could often turn the impossible into the possible.
If King An's son succeeded the throne, the throne would be unstable and someone would be needed to protect it. If he did not want King Jing, King Cheng, and the other Imperial Uncles to kick him out of power, he would have to become the key to stabilizing the sea.
This thought only flashed across his mind for a moment before disappearing. The current situation was the most favorable for King Jing. Letting King An's son inherit the throne was out of reach.
"Your Royal Highness, have you ever wondered why these ten Asuras were mobilized?" Chu Li asked. "Could it be a sign that the Li Dynasty is about to invade the south?"
"Yes, it's very possible." King Ping nodded.
Chu Li nodded. "They'll first dampen the morale of the army. Then, they'll be able to save a lot of energy when they send their troops over. As far as I know, the military strength of the Li Dynasty is constantly increasing. It's really not a good thing for the Ji Dynasty!"
"I'm just waiting for them to come!" King Ping scoffed.
Chu Li said, "Your Royal Highness, you must be careful of assassinations by martial arts masters. The Holy Church of Light is becoming more and more rampant. Since they dared to attack the High Duke's Public House, they are capable of anything!"
He understood King Ping's desire for battle. King Ping's value as a marshal could only be demonstrated when a great battle was imminent. Only then would his position be more stable.
If the Great Li Dynasty was weak, his position as the commander-in-chief would no longer exist. He would have been summoned back to Luoyang long ago, stripped of his military power, and retired in peace!
King Ping nodded. "I'll be careful and keep my guard up against them."
Chu Li said no more. It was enough for him to give King Ping a reminder. If he said more, King Ping would be disgusted.

Chu Li was driving a horse carriage, walking slowly on the main road.
The carriage was extremely old and had been exposed to the elements for a long time. It looked like it was about to fall apart.
It had been two days since he left the West Borderline Military Camp. This horse carriage was a gift from the West Borderline Military Camp. It carried ten Asuras. According to King Ping, they did not deserve to sit in a good horse carriage.
He planned to send these ten Asuras to the Amethyst Mountain. The Amethyst Mountain had already received the news and sent their disciples over.
He suddenly stopped the carriage and smiled.
Sure enough, the Holy Church of Light had not given up on this group of Asuras and had sent people over to rescue them. There was still a traitor in the Xi Jiang Military who knew his route.
There was no way to avoid traitors unless he could walk through every corner of the Xijiang military camp and look into the minds of every soldier. But if he wanted to look through the minds of a hundred thousand soldiers, he would definitely be exhausted to death. He definitely wouldn't put in so much effort.
He drove the carriage to the side of the road, tied the reins, and suddenly disappeared. He appeared in front of the four middle-aged men. Without saying a word, he waved his sword and stabbed.
The Seven Forms of Godly Sword had been combined with the Cloud Slashing Sword Technique. Its power was overbearing. As the Heavenly Demonic Orb landed on Chu Li's precordium, he felt a sudden surge of power, causing the speed of his sword to increase by several notches. In an instant, the orb had reached the throat of a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man suddenly retreated, but he was not faster than Chu Li's sword.
"Chi!" The sword pierced his throat.
"Old Pang!"
"Junior Brother Pang!"
"Brother Pang!"
The other three middle-aged men roared and rushed towards Chu Li.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash and reappeared behind another tall middle-aged man, thrusting his sword again.
"Ding …" A saber blocked in front of the sword. The middle-aged man held the saber horizontally in front of his throat and staggered a step back.
The other two men attacked Chu Li at the same time, one with a fist and the other with a sword.
These four men's cultivation levels were extremely high. They were here to deal with Chu Li, so they naturally had a chance of winning.
They did not expect Chu Li's martial arts to be so strange. He used a secret skill to suddenly appear and ambush one of them, turning the four of them into three.
Chu Li suddenly disappeared.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb condensed in his precordium again. He sat cross-legged on a tree and used the Nature Restoration Manifestation and the Omniscient Mirror at the same time to observe the three men five miles away.
When they saw Chu Li disappear, they quickly turned around and gathered together to save the middle-aged man.
After consuming the Spirit Medicine, the middle-aged man's breathing stabilized.
His face was pale and gloomy. He was injured in one move and almost died. He could not resist the sword at all. This made him feel a little disappointed, but he also felt humiliated and angry.
"Brother Pang, this guy lives up to his name. He's very difficult. Let's call a few more people over!" A thin middle-aged man said. "We said we're going to kill him, but in the end, he's going to kill us!"
"That's right!" The round-faced man beside him nodded.
The middle-aged man's throat was stabbed, and the sword force was still lingering around the wound. He could not suppress it. He faintly felt that he was in danger. If this went on, he would not be able to withstand the sword force.
He waved his hand and made a hand gesture.
"You want us to channel our energy to help you heal?" the round-faced man asked.
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Junior Brother Pang, let me help you!" The short and fat middle-aged man who had been quiet all this while said. He sat behind him and placed his palms on his back.
The other two middle-aged men stood on either side of him and looked around. Their bodies were tense as they guarded against Chu Li's reappearance.
Chu Li's Nature Restoration Manifestation was analyzing their thoughts and looking for an opening to kill them in one hit.
After a while, white steam rose from the top of the short and fat middle-aged man's head.
The other two middle-aged men became even more tense and vigilant, afraid that Chu Li would appear.
Chu Li suddenly appeared and pierced the short and fat middle-aged man's back with his sword. The tip of the sword appeared in front of his heart and then disappeared.
"Pfft!" The short and fat middle-aged man spat out a mist of blood, drenching the back of the middle-aged man.
"Pfft!" The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood into the sky and fell limply.
Chu Li's sword was steady and accurate.
The short and fat middle-aged man was fully focused on helping his companion channel his energy to heal. When he was stabbed in the chest, his breathing became chaotic.
The middle-aged man was at the most critical moment. His breathing was disrupted and he failed at the last moment. Under the violent backlash, the sword force instantly pierced through his brain and he instantly fainted.
"Brother Pang! Brother Xie! "The two men were shocked. They quickly stood back to back and stared at their surroundings.
"Let's each carry one person. Let's go!" the thin middle-aged man said.
The two men each carried one person on their back and shot out like a wisp of smoke.
Chu Li appeared out of thin air and silently pointed two of his fingers forward.
The two Spear Finger Strikes drifted over like a breeze. The next moment, Chu Li appeared a hundred meters away from them. He stood with his sword and stared at them coldly.
The two men were instantly on guard. The warning signs kept ringing in their hearts.
"Uh …" They suddenly froze.
The two Spear Finger Strikes hit them.
Under Chu Li's intentional misdirection, they mistook the warning signs of the Spear Finger Strikes for Chu Li. As a result, they could not dodge in time.
Chu Li took a step forward and appeared in front of them. His sword flashed and the two men fell to the ground with their hands on their abdomens.
He looked down at the four men and said, "All of you have life-saving spirit medicine. Eat it and I'll spare your lives today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his sword flashed twice. The other two men were stabbed in their abdomens and their martial arts were crippled.
Under the resentful gazes of the three men, Chu Li floated away. He was delighted.
The Manifestation of Nature Restoration had improved and he had a better grasp of the situation. He could fight with more ease. He did not increase his cultivation level but his strength.
After walking three hundred meters, he turned around and said, "Come out."
Three young men walked out of the forest and fist saluted. "Junior Brother Chu."
Chu Li glanced at them and smiled. "Greetings, Senior Brothers. Please follow me."
