Chapter 914: After many years, meeting Master Tian Ze again!

~5 min read 941 words

"It's you?"

Seeing the man brought before him by Yan Lingji, Su Xuan appeared somewhat surprised, and then spoke: "That's right, with Baiyue destroyed, you have already become a stray dog. Either you become a rebel, or you submit to the Qin Guo. Aside from these, there is no third choice."

Hearing these words from Su Xuan, Master Tian Ze's expression sank immediately, but in the end, he did not flare up. Instead, he spoke in a low tone: "So many years have passed, yet you haven't changed at all!"

Still the same sharp tongue, never letting a point go.

It was fortunate that Su Xuan was relatively strong; otherwise, just because of that mouth of his, he would have been beaten to death sooner or later.

"Hmph!"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Su Xuan's mouth, noncommittal.

Master Tian Ze spoke again: "I have come here today for two things."

"What things?" Su Xuan asked Master Tian Ze.

Master Tian Ze said in a deep voice: "The first thing is to congratulate you on cracking the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon."

The Mirage's voyage to sea was publicly claimed to be for searching for overseas immortal mountains and seeking the elixir of immortality. There were even rumors claiming that Ying Zheng had already obtained the elixir of immortality; whether there was truth in that, we shall not discuss for now.

Master Tian Ze had learned some of the truth about the Mirage's voyage from Yan Lingji.

Searching for immortal mountains was merely an excuse; the real purpose was to explore the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

What the true secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon was, Master Tian Ze had no intention of getting to the bottom of; he only knew one thing.

That was that it was fortunate he had not gone to explore the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon back then.

He also had not expected that the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon were actually hidden overseas, and only the Qin Guo had the national strength to build a great ship like the Mirage that could cross the vast ocean.

If that map had remained in his hands back then, even if he had cracked its mysteries, he reckoned it would have taken a very long time, and afterwards, there would have been no possibility of going to sea.

So in other words, his giving up on searching for the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon from the beginning was actually the correct choice.

Even though after giving up on searching for the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon and returning to Baiyue, he had spent many years and failed to win back everything that was his, at least he had not labored in vain; he had truly tried. In the war for Baiyue, he had even killed his own younger brother with his own hands, avenging the grudge of those years.

Su Xuan naturally did not know what Master Tian Ze was thinking. After hearing Master Tian Ze's words, he said softly: "Thank you for your congratulations. You may state the second thing."

He had already understood that the first thing Master Tian Ze spoke of was actually nonsense, so the truly important thing should be the second one.

"I want to have a battle with you!"

Master Tian Ze looked at Su Xuan with burning eyes, and without waiting for Su Xuan's agreement, he spoke again: "Please, offer your instruction!"

Su Xuan listened to Master Tian Ze's words, feeling the fighting spirit he was releasing, and after a moment of silence, said: "You are not my opponent."

"I know." Master Tian Ze's answer was unexpected. He had great self-awareness and a very clear understanding of his own strength. The only time he was not clear-headed was probably when he came out of the death row back then. At that time, he believed no one was his opponent. Even someone as strong as Bai Yifei had to rely on insects to restrict him, which proved that Bai Yifei was afraid of him—until he was punched by Su Xuan.

With that one punch, both his hands were crippled.

Even today, when he thought of that punch, he still felt a sense of invincibility.

Even if he had made progress over these years, and Su Xuan had made no progress at all, he reckoned he was still not Su Xuan's opponent.

Not to mention that Su Xuan's progress might be beyond imagination.

One had to know that even Yan Lingji's strength had surpassed his under Su Xuan's guidance.

But even so, he still wanted to have a battle with Su Xuan.

After the affairs of Baiyue were settled, he had already killed Zou Wuzhu and avenged the grudge of those years, but some grudges could never be avenged.

That was the grudge against Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye.

In the war for Baiyue back then, his defeat had a lot to do with his half-brother Zou Wuzhu. If it hadn't been for the other party causing trouble in the rear, letting his father the King strip him of his Crown Prince status and cutting off his logistics and food supplies, how could he have been defeated so easily?

Besides this, Bai Yifei was also one of the main culprits of his defeat.

Especially after his defeat, Bai Yifei had imprisoned him for many years, treating him as a test subject.

After he was released from prison back then, he had thought about taking revenge on Bai Yifei. ===== CHAPTER 916 =====
