"Diviner?"
The Lie Emperor heard this and looked at Chu An, but he was not too surprised. Although he was only a figurehead, he knew how the battle between factions worked. Sometimes, it was not a one-way street.
Today's allies may turn against each other tomorrow, and today's enemy may become close friends with you tomorrow. Moreover, he had no grudges with the Diviners.
Solemnly, he said, "Then what about you? What is your identity? "
Chu An smiled, "I am naturally the Diviner that you all speak of. However, I am a disciple of the Su Ming Sect, so it is not an exaggeration to say that I am a cultivator of the Su Ming Sect."
The Lie Emperor said, "You said that you can protect me, I would like to hear what you have to say."
Chu An said, "Emperor, you should know that Emperor Xi was only able to conquer the Central Region because of our help."
The Lie Emperor's expression was complicated, "Yes, I heard that you all played a huge role in this. Without you, Emperor Xi would not even be able to protect his own life. You all are really impressive."
The Cursed Artifact was in his hands long ago. He knew that if not for the Diviners, Emperor Xi would not have been able to hold on for 30 years. The territories under his control would definitely fall apart and split into dozens or even hundreds of factions. Then, it would be a battle between him and the elders. However, the arrival of the Diviners changed the direction of the world.
Chu An had the qualities of an emissary. He was thick-skinned and did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he looked like he was happy to be praised, "Therefore, as long as you are willing to listen to our arrangements, everything will be fine."
The Lie Emperor said, "Then, you said that you want something from me, what is it?"
Chu An smiled and was about to reply when the trusted aide who was guarding the door suddenly came in. Advisor Wu went up and asked a few questions before coming back and saying, "The assistant elder's people are here, they are waiting outside."
The Lie Emperor felt a headache when he heard the assistant elder. The place where his blood was sucked was also aching. He said helplessly, "I can't rest for even a moment."
Chu An said, "Your Majesty, you can deal with your matters first. I can wait outside and continue at any time."
The Lie Emperor said, "Then, please wait for a moment."
Under the guidance of his trusted aide, Chu An left for the side hall.
Not long after, an old military officer in his fifties walked in. He bowed to the Lie Emperor and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Lie Huang raised his hand and said, "You may dispense with the formalities. Lieutenant, how are you doing on the frontlines?"
The captain said, "Assistant is good at commanding troops and never underestimates the enemy. Although the enemy general is experienced, he can't do anything to Assistant. However, the assistant often said that even if it was someone else, as long as they relied on the defense line and followed the rules, it would still be the same. There wouldn't be any difference. "
The Lie Emperor said, "You're too humble, how could others have the same prestige as you?"
The captain raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, although the assistant is at the front lines, he still misses Your Majesty. He specially sent this subject to ask Your Majesty if Your Majesty has signed the contract as instructed."
The Lie Emperor's expression was unnatural. He said, "You can tell the assistant that I have followed his instructions without any mistakes. That thing is still there. I am not lying."
The captain immediately said, "I dare not doubt Your Majesty. The assistant elder asked this subject to ask again. If Your Majesty has followed his instructions, did you see that thing?"
The Lie Emperor sighed, "I haven't seen it yet. I don't know what went wrong. " He added, "This Humble One is indeed acting according to Elder's instructions. There's no way I'd make a mistake."
The captain said, "If that's the case, this subject will tell the assistant elder the truth. However, the assistant elder also asked this subject to tell Your Majesty that if the six sects ask you to do anything, Your Majesty must not refuse."
The Lie Emperor frowned and said, "Does the assistant elder know something?"
Wei Wei tactfully said, "Assistant Professor has also heard about the Eastern Front and is also very worried about Your Majesty's safety. The Eastern Front lacks a defensive line and everything is lacking. Thus, it is the power of the upper echelons that can make the decision. Only by launching a thunderous attack and quickly wiping out the enemy can the people be at ease. Thus, there is no need to transfer more manpower to the East."
The Lie Emperor questioned, "Is that useful? Now that the enemy has been annihilated, would Emperor Xi not send more people to attack again? "
The captain said, "Then we will wipe them out again. This is how war is. With Emperor Xi's territory, there is no hope of winning in one battle. We can only wipe them out again and again until they don't dare to come again."
The Lie Emperor nodded, "I have benefited greatly from the assistant elder's words. I will consider it carefully."
Advisor Wu gestured to the outside and said, "Captain, this way please."
The captain bowed and said, "Yes, then this subject will take his leave."
After the captain left, the Lie Emperor said unhappily, "Everyone is forcing me to do something. It seems like I am the one who doesn't care about the big picture." He sat for a while and said, "Invite that Mr. Chu back. I have something to say."
Thus, Chu An was invited back to the palace.
The Lie Emperor said, "I didn't ask clearly just now. What is it that you want?"
Chu An became excited and said, "Your Majesty, Teacher Jin wants an 'Ancestral Stone'."
The Lie Emperor was confused, "Ancestral Stone?" He knocked on his head, "I think I have some impression of it …"
Advisor Wu reminded, "Your Majesty. It is the stone that was placed under the palace when it was built. "
The Lie Sovereign was enlightened, "So it's the jade that can 'suppress fate and destiny'." He suddenly relaxed and said, "If you want it, then you can have it."
He thought that the Lie Emperor wanted something precious. He didn't expect it to be this useless stone.
He knew that the 'Fate Suppressing Jade' was a lie. It was only to calm people down. Back then, his uncle brought a piece of it over. Because it was not big, he used to play with it when he was young. After that, everyone forgot about it.
He said to Advisor Wu, "Advisor Wu, I will leave the matter of this stone to you. Do not let Xue Zhidao and the others know about it."
Solemnly, Advisor Wu nodded.
The Lie Emperor said again, "I can give it to you, but how will your teacher protect me?"
Chu An took out a talisman and said, "Your Majesty, please take this with you."
The Lie Emperor asked, "What is this?"
Chu An said, "If you are in danger, use this talisman and it will take you away from Huangdu."
"Leave Huangdu …"
The Lie Emperor sighed. He had already expected this. After all, as long as he was here, he would not be able to get rid of the danger.
If he was a normal king, he would not be willing to leave all these behind. But now, someone was telling him that all of these did not belong to him. Who knew when they would be given to his other self? If that was the case, he might as well leave as soon as possible. As long as he could protect himself, that would be enough.
However, there was one thing that he needed to clarify first.
He said, "You called me emperor just now. I know that you celestial beings work for Emperor Xi. Emperor Xi is also the emperor. So, after you save me, what will I do?"
Chu An smiled, "Is the emperor willing to sit on this throne?"
The Lie Emperor said embarrassedly, "At first, I was not willing. But after I sat on it, I felt that it was not bad. After I left, I was a bit reluctant … But at least I have sat on it."
Chu An knew what he meant, "Then it is easy. As long as you leave the throne, you will no longer be entangled with other things. In this vast world, there is no place for an idle relative."
The Lie Emperor nodded. He thought for a while and asked softly, "If I leave now, is it okay?"
Chu An was surprised, "Is the emperor ready?"
The Lie Emperor said, "You do not have to worry about the Ancestor Stone. It is buried in the palace. It is not difficult to retrieve it." He pointed at the talisman, "Can I leave Huangdu with this talisman? But what about after that? "
Chu An said seriously, "Emperor, do not be anxious. If you want to leave now, I will need to make some arrangements."
After receiving the Lie Emperor's answer, he immediately summoned Xuntian Dao Zhang and contacted Jin Zhixing. He briefly explained what happened and said excitedly, "Master Jin, the Lie Emperor is willing to take out the Ancestor Stone. But if he wants to leave now …"
Jin Zhixing said, "Good. Calm him down first. I will give you instructions later."
After giving a few more instructions, he hurriedly found Zhang Yu through the [Heaven Taming Dao Scripture] and told him everything that had happened. His spirits were high as he said, "Ting Zhi, Lie Huang has already agreed to bring the Ancestral Stone out. However, he's afraid that he won't be able to make it far, so he still needs us to provide support."
Before this, Zhang Yu had asked him to use his status as an elder of the Su Ming Sect to keep an eye on the Lie Emperor's Ancestor Stone. He kept this matter in mind and made use of his connections with the powerful elder to send the Mystic disciple he had recruited to the Lie Emperor's place. At the same time, he also ordered him to bring along the protective talisman he had obtained from Zhang Yu.
Originally, he only thought that he could find the Ancestor Stone first. He did not expect this new disciple to be so capable and brave. He actually did it in one step, which made him overjoyed.
But it was not difficult to get the Lie Emperor out. The key was how to take him away. This was beyond his ability.
After listening to his explanation, Zhang Yu said, "Kim Daoist, you did well."
Now that he had almost finished setting up the formation, it would only take a few days. Originally, he thought that it would take a few more years for the battle in the north to end. Then, he might not be able to get the last fragment of the seal in time.
But he did not expect that Jin Zhixing would succeed.
Jin Zhixing hurriedly said, "Serving Deacon Ting is something that I should do."
Zhang Yu said, "Just let the Lie Emperor take my talisman and leave. Once he is outside, I will make the arrangements."
Jin Zhixing said respectfully, "Yes, I will pass the message."
After Zhang Yu gave his instructions, he withdrew his consciousness from the Heaven Rebuking Seal and sat on his seat without moving. A moment later, a Star Cicada that was shining brightly flew out from his body. It made a turn in the air and rushed into the sky. It flapped its wings and flew towards the north. It was as if a stream of light was passing by in the sky. After flying for a short while, it arrived in the sky above Huang Du.
