Chapter 5: Capital Shaken

Chu Capital, Profound Garment Guard General Command Office.

Several Profound Garment Guard Commanders sat on chairs, silent. The dim light in the room made the atmosphere look a bit dull.

After a long time, the head Profound Garment Guard General Commander, Li Qingxian, who was Li Chengxiao's grandfather, finally spoke.

"You all know the news Xiao'er sent back. Now this letter is here, what attitude do you have on how to handle it?"

The four stared tightly at the letter on the table in front of them, no one speaking, and no one moving to touch the letter.

Because Li Chengxiao said that looking at it might lead to death. And it concerned the Nine Thousand Years Old, so several people didn't dare to take it lightly.

Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and the remnants of the Three Mountains and Four Seas are making a comeback. If it weren't for the Nine Thousand Years Old suppressing it, the Great Chu would have fallen apart long ago.

"Just do as Xiao'er said. Anyway, whether this matter succeeds or not has nothing to do with us; we are just passing a message. If someone doesn't want to live, we can't control it. It's just that if there's an accident, I hope Xiao'er will immediately sever ties with that disciple of his."

"In short, the Profound Garment Guard cannot be in chaos, and nothing can go wrong." Another commander, Tie Chenglong, expressed his opinion.

"What about you two?" Li Qingxian looked at the other two.

These two were Ye Feiyun of the Ye Family and Lin Lan Yu of the Lin Family. The four great families were of one mind and had always held the power of the Profound Garment Guard tightly. So usually, if there was anything, the four great families would vote.

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Alright, I will go into the palace to see the Nine Thousand Years Old now." Li Qingxian put the letter on the table into his bosom and turned to leave the headquarters.

"Truly interesting, at this juncture, an old immortal actually popped out, and it's related to the Nine Thousand Years Old and the ancestor Li Shentong. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." A playful look appeared on Lin Lan Yu's peerless face.

"Lan Yu, be careful with your words!" Ye Feiyun closed his eyes, interrupting Lin Lan Yu's self-talk. Although Ye Feiyun was not the oldest among them, his character was the most stable.

"I know, Brother Feiyun."

Lin Lan Yu didn't say anything more.

The three were waiting; if the matter were true, they believed the Capital would soon be shaken.

Li Qingxian entered the harem all the way and soon met Li Nuo, the Nine Thousand Years Old, led by a little eunuch.

"Why are you so urgent to see me? Is it that those guys from the Three Mountains and Four Seas are restless again?" Li Nuo's voice was sharp but full of dignity.

Li Qingxian's arrival didn't even make Li Nuo open his eyes. Served by the little eunuch, Li Nuo still lay comfortably on the bed. It seemed that nothing in the world could make him moved or nervous.

"It's not that. The Nine Thousand Years Old has peerless divine arts; I think those guys from the Three Mountains and Four Seas don't have the guts to mess around now." Li Qingxian sent a flattery. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous facing the Nine Thousand Years Old; this was the number one person in the world today, the true pillar of the Empire. One word, and the four directions would shake.

"Oh, that's strange. Could it be that your Profound Garment Guard has something you can't solve and have to ask for my help?" The Nine Thousand Years Old opened his eyes, his gaze piercing, making Li Qingxian sweat on his forehead.

"Reporting to the Nine Thousand Years Old, it's a letter from Dongjiang City, it seems to be an old friend of yours. That person also said he is a sworn brother of the ancestor Shentong. The subordinate can't distinguish the truth, so I brought the letter, please decide for yourself, old man." Li Qingxian didn't continue to drag it out and said it directly. Because he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.

"Nonsense, nonsense. Where did this little bastard come from, spreading rumors and causing trouble." The Nine Thousand Years Old reacted strongly, even standing up, his eyes piercing. "Venerable Master Shentong, where did he have any sworn brothers? Where is the letter, bring it here for me to see. I want to see what kind of monster or ghost dares to use Venerable Master Shentong's name to cause trouble."

Li Qingxian handed the envelope to the little eunuch, and the Nine Thousand Years Old didn't wait for the little eunuch to present it, but used his supernatural powers to take the letter.

Roughly tearing open the envelope, a few lines of text entered his eyes.

The Nine Thousand Years Old was completely stunned.

Zhenshen Pass, Little Li, and his own retreat in the face of battle, these things pierced into the Nine Thousand Years Old's mind word by word.

More importantly, this handwriting.

Everything reminded the Nine Thousand Years Old of a person, his master Li Shentong.

"How is this possible, how is this possible?" The Nine Thousand Years Old muttered to himself. Master Shentong's flesh body was now enshrined in his back hall. That was truly dead.

Back then, in order to fulfill this master-student relationship, the Shenwu Emperor specially handed Li Shentong's corpse to Li Nuo for safekeeping. Originally, he was prepared to hand over the tablet to Li Nuo for worship, but Li Nuo said he was a rootless person, so he didn't accept it.

The Nine Thousand Years Old stumbled toward the back hall; he wanted to see with his own eyes whether Li Shentong's flesh body was still there. Although he had seen it this morning, the Nine Thousand Years Old still wanted to confirm it.

He hoped so much that all this was true.

Because he wanted to defend himself, to defend his escape in the face of battle back then. He wanted to tell his teacher that Little Li was not a coward.

However, the Nine Thousand Years Old was disappointed. Li Shentong's flesh body was still lying well on the ten-thousand-year cold ice bed, like a sleeping demon god, unmoved for eternity.

Li Qingxian was startled by the Nine Thousand Years Old's reaction. It seemed that this letter was indeed extraordinary. Fortunately, he hadn't looked at it, Li Qingxian felt a bit lucky. It was better to know less about the entanglements between these true great powers.

"Bring that person to me, be quick. If I don't see that person within three days, the Profound Garment Guard won't need to exist." The Nine Thousand Years Old wanted to see with his own eyes who the person who wrote the letter was.

Even if it wasn't Li Shentong himself, his identity must be extraordinary. Or perhaps it was a descendant who knew some secrets and wanted to make a fuss about this matter. No matter which one it was, the Nine Thousand Years Old wanted to crush the other party to ashes.

The Nine Thousand Years Old would never allow anyone to make a fuss about his teacher Li Shentong. Even the Mountain Lord of the Three Mountains and Four Seas or the Dragon King wouldn't do.

"By the way, did you read the letter? Tell the truth." The Nine Thousand Years Old looked at Li Qingxian with sharp eyes, his eyes full of divine light that wanted to bite people.

"The subordinate absolutely wouldn't dare. Apart from several commanders and my grandson, no one else has had contact with this letter. The subordinate guarantees with my life that absolutely no one has seen the contents of the letter."

Li Qingxian shivered with fear.

If something went wrong, the Li family would be finished.

"I hope so. Then why don't you go quickly."

"Yes, the subordinate will go now."

Li Qingxian didn't dare to stay, flying away from the palace quickly. His movement technique was pushed to the limit, even exceeding the level he should have at his current realm.

"Damn it, I will never come to see the Nine Thousand Years Old again in the future, even if I die."

Li Qingxian rarely cursed. Today the Nine Thousand Years Old's reaction was too big, far exceeding Li Qingxian's expectations. However, Li Qingxian was a bit unsure about what the Nine Thousand Years Old meant. ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
