Chapter 397

Three days ago,

Li Chungang came to Martial Emperor City to challenge Wang Xianzhi to a duel.

But his state of mind had not yet fully recovered,

so the outcome was predictable.

Wang Xianzhi had originally intended to spare Li Chungang's life,

but at the very last moment, Li Chungang

burned his final life force

to use Sword Opening the Heavenly Gate.

The brilliance of that sword strike

made Wang Xianzhi feel as if he had returned to decades ago.

The Sword God was still the Sword God,

but Wang Xianzhi was no longer the Wang Xianzhi of those years.

Delivering a full-power punch,

a hundred-mile gap appeared outside Martial Emperor City,

and before him, Li Chungang's figure was no more.

The Old Sword God died with his sword, which could be considered dying in the right place.

However,

after his death,

the time Wang Xianzhi spent standing on the city wall became increasingly long.

That was the loneliness of being invincible.

But suddenly,

Wang Xianzhi seemed to sense something,

looked toward the direction of Nandao City,

and then revealed a faint smile.

On this day,

Wang Xianzhi of Martial Emperor City walked out of Martial Emperor City for the first time in decades.

His whereabouts were unknown.

And at the same time,

inside the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion,

Ye Yu looked at Cao Guanzi and Jiang Ni with boredom,

and asked softly, "What brings you here today?"

Having had the experience of dealing with him once before,

Cao Guanzi knew in his heart

that Ye Yu was not a person who liked to beat around the bush.

So he said immediately, "Hero Ye, I want to ask you to help me restore Great Chu.

After the matter is accomplished, you will certainly have a status of being above ten thousand people, second only to one.

Whether it be National Teacher or Prince of Equal Rank,

whatever you want, we will try our best to give you."

Jiang Ni stood behind Cao Guanzi,

clenching her fists tightly,

clearly somewhat nervous.

She had also heard about the Xu Xiao affair.

In the few years she had been in the Prince's Mansion,

Jiang Ni had naturally seen Xu Xiao's dominance.

She really couldn't imagine

what kind of person could kill this human-slaughtering Prince of Liang.

This young man before her

looked handsome

and was about the same age as her,

but he made Jiang Ni feel immense pressure.

Ye Yu chuckled, "Restore the country?

Not to mention that I am a martial arts person with no interest in high official positions or generous salaries,

even if I helped you, do you think it could really be accomplished?"

Cao Guanzi nodded,

"If you and I join forces, slaughtering our way through the Liyang Imperial Palace is not a problem.

Afterward, we capture Zhao Mian alive, and whatever we want, Liyang will have to give!

Great Chu will have hope for restoration."

Ye Yu looked at the fanatical look in Cao Guanzi's eyes

and immediately labeled him with "megalomania."

"First, restoring a country requires people.

Even if we take down one Zhao Mian, there will be Zhao One, Zhao Two, and Zhao Three appearing.

Restoring a country requires national strength,

not individual fighting.

Don't talk about the million households of Great Chu; that was in the past.

You should know in your heart how many people will follow you if you start a movement now.

Even without the threat of Northern Liang,

Gu Jiantang still holds quite a few people in his hands.

Do you think they are made of mud?

Second, you are bent on restoring the country, but have you ever thought

that the life Jiang Ni wants is necessarily to restore the country and become an emperor?"

Hearing these words,

Cao Guanzi turned his head silently

to look at Jiang Ni behind him.

Indeed,

ever since he found Jiang Ni,

Cao Guanzi had only wanted to restore the country and put her on that throne,

but he had never asked Jiang Ni

what kind of life she actually wanted.

But subsequently,

a flash of determination crossed Cao Guanzi's eyes,

and he said decisively, "The Princess was born in the royal family; this is her responsibility.

It must be restored!"

Ye Yu smiled, "Responsibility?

Responsibility doesn't need to be imposed.

Have you ever thought...

that restoring the country has always been your own wishful thinking?"

Cao Guanzi stood up abruptly and retreated two steps in disbelief.

Seeing this situation,

Jiang Ni stepped forward quickly, supporting Cao Guanzi's arm,

"Uncle Cao, what's wrong with you? ### CHAPTER 398
