Chapter 1303: Sudden Change (First Update, Requesting Everything)

Li Zhangsheng frowned, hurriedly taking out the Heavenly Secret Stone and the Baxia Turtle Shell to exert the Great Deduction Technique with all his might, only to discover that a new layer of Mist had appeared over all the Heavenly Secrets related to him.

Originally, Li Zhangsheng had added a layer of Mist to himself using Inverting Yin and Yang, and now there was another layer; the crucial point was that Li Zhangsheng did not have the ability to disperse this layer of Mist.

Unless his Great Deduction Technique reached the Great Accomplishment or even the perfection stage, he would be unable to break through this layer of Mist at all.

Li Zhangsheng was not foolish enough to deduce the Heavenly Secrets of the Human Emperor, because given the gap in their realms, not to mention whether he could deduce it, the Human Emperor would likely know the moment he attempted the deduction.

This made Li Zhangsheng's mood turn somewhat sour; he left the Secret Realm with a gloomy face, wavering between whether to go or not.

Leaving without permission would certainly offend the Human Emperor, and if he went to meet the Human Emperor, given the situation of the Human Emperor meeting the envoy of the Profound Emperor for the second time, there might be danger.

In short, Li Zhangsheng did not want to choose either of these options.

Dong, dong, dong~

Just at this moment, the Human Emperor's envoy arrived at the Quan King Mansion; he was not the Qingmu King, but merely an ordinary King.

"His Majesty the Quan King, please ensure you enter the Dezheng Hall before the Hour of the Bo, as His Majesty will personally receive you!"

"Understood!"

Li Zhangsheng complied on the surface, but in reality, he still had not completely dismissed the idea of leaving; he was a man who cherished his life dearly and always put his own little life first, so he certainly did not want to go to something that might contain a huge crisis.

But as mentioned before, regardless of whether the Human Emperor had any intention of harming him, if he left without permission, he would certainly offend the Human Emperor completely, and the consequences would be very serious.

This was a difficult dilemma.

"Perhaps find an excuse?"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, but unless the Langya Kingdom was in danger of being destroyed, he could not find a suitable excuse at all.

However, this was not something that could be done in a short time; it would require spending a period of time setting it up in advance.

Taking a step back, even if the setup were successful, the Langya Kingdom would likely be plunged into misery, which was truly not what he wished for.

Li Zhangsheng asked in return: "By the way, besides me, are there others?"

"There are also some Kings and Double-Character Kings."

"I understand."

Li Zhangsheng subconsciously relaxed a little, and after the other party left, acting on the principle of caution, he began to send a message to the Qingmu King, wanting to probe for some information from him.

But strangely, after waiting and waiting for more than half an hour, his message was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and he received no reply for a long time.

"Does the Qingmu King not have time to reply? Or is he being blocked by external forces? Or perhaps the Qingmu King has abandoned me?"

Li Zhangsheng felt increasingly uneasy; he felt as if an invisible giant net was about to close in, and he was right inside this net.

Before Li Zhangsheng could think further, he suddenly sensed an abnormality; if it weren't for his consciousness becoming extremely sharp from comprehending the Great Deduction Technique, he truly wouldn't have discovered it.

These were three obscure yet powerful auras; although they were extremely restrained, Li Zhangsheng could be certain that these were three Double-Character Kings who had quickly occupied specific positions.

Li Zhangsheng observed carefully and found the aura located behind the Quan King Mansion to be quite familiar.

"Qingmu King!"

Li Zhangsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, which also caused his heart to sink to the bottom.

No wonder the Qingmu King did not reply; it turned out he was ordered to watch or capture him.

Since one of the directions was the Qingmu King, the other two Double-Character Kings were also likely Top-tier Double-Character Kings.

Just as Li Zhangsheng was preparing to make a choice, the Qingmu King suddenly leaked a trace of his aura, and immediately retracted it again.

After a few breaths, a rodent-type Spirit Beast with its front limbs fixed to its head crawled out from beside the Qingmu King, trying to flee.

Upon seeing this, the Qingmu King hurriedly threw out a ring of Fire Element, enveloping the rodent-type Spirit Beast.

In the blink of an eye, the Qingmu King retracted the fire ring, and the rodent-type Spirit Beast had already turned into a pile of ashes.

Li Zhangsheng 'saw' this scene, and his originally extremely gloomy expression couldn't help but show a bit of a smile.

Clearly, the Qingmu King was obscurely conveying a message to him.

The Qingmu King deliberately leaked a trace of his aura, naturally hoping that Li Zhangsheng could sense him. The rodent-type Spirit Beast with its front limbs fixed to its head fleeing frantically—wasn't that expressing 'fleeing in a panic'?

Only under the Human Emperor's orders would the Qingmu King act so obscurely and destroy the evidence.

However, could the Human Emperor really not notice?

But for Li Zhangsheng, the fact that the Qingmu King was willing to risk being discovered by the Human Emperor to warn him made Li Zhangsheng look at him with newfound respect.

But now was not the time to think about this; at this moment, Li Zhangsheng already understood that what the King who delivered the decree said earlier was likely to put his mind at ease and make him lower his guard.

Now that the Qingmu King and the other two had surrounded the Quan King Mansion, Li Zhangsheng understood the Human Emperor's intentions; it was nothing more than to achieve some goal or ambition, most likely wanting to offer him to the Profound Emperor.

For the current plan, perhaps he could only break through the encirclement.

With his current strength, even if three Top-tier Double-Character Kings joined forces, they would definitely not be his match, not to mention that the Qingmu King might even go easy on him.

However, plans could not keep up with changes; just as Li Zhangsheng was preparing to break through.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion came from the heart of the Imperial Palace.

Li Zhangsheng subconsciously used the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique to gaze at the heart of the Imperial Palace, and he saw a scene of broken walls and ruins; in this pile of rubble, the sign for 'Dezheng Hall' was vaguely visible.

Besides this, there were four figures.

The four were none other than the Human Emperor, the Phoenix Emperor, the Spirit Emperor, and the Wudi.

Among them, the Wudi appeared exceptionally disheveled, with a large, bloody hole torn in his abdomen, and his internal organs were all damaged; golden blood spilled from the wound as if it were worthless, and he had been directly dealt a heavy blow.

The Wudi was fleeing frantically in front, with the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor pursuing from behind, while the Spirit Emperor was watching with suspicion and uncertainty; he did not pursue, but instead was full of vigilance.

"Human Emperor, you are shameless! I came to visit with good intentions, yet you plotted and ambushed me. And you, Phoenix Emperor, you little bitch, I didn't expect you to be in cahoots with the Human Emperor."

The Wudi's voice resounded through the heavens, and the entire Imperial Capital of the Mucang Empire could hear it.

The expressions of the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor did not change; as the Human Emperor performed a hand seal, the Large Forbidden Array set up in the Imperial Palace was activated, making it impossible for anyone to see the scene inside anymore.

As existences at the apex of the pyramid, they no longer cared about reputation; only interests were eternal.

To them, it was nothing more than the winner being the king and the loser being the bandit.

This was also the norm in a world of supernatural power; only the weak would talk about public opinion and politics, while the Stronger no longer cared about these things, especially the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors at the top of the pyramid.

Just like the disaster-prone Disaster King, who committed evil for hundreds of years and still lived well, until he was finished off by Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng finished off the Disaster King, also for the sake of profit; it was nothing more than wanting to monopolize the Star Palace.

History is written by people!

Given the lifespans and ruling power of the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors, even though the entire Imperial Capital of the Mucang Empire heard it, this piece of history will very likely change completely.
