Chapter 238

"Haha, Grand Tutor Hong speaks with reason. I am still a subject of His Majesty; how could I arbitrarily kill a high official like Grand Tutor Hong? Wouldn't that be a capital crime?"

Yin Qi laughed and gestured with his right hand: "Grand Tutor, please come in."

"Very well, Marquis, please!"

A sharp glint flashed in Hong Xuanji's eyes; he had caught a keyword in Yin Qi's words: "subject of His Majesty."

At least for now, it seems they can coexist peacefully.

The main hall.

The two sat down, and a maid brought fragrant tea and refreshments.

Yin Qi said directly: "Grand Tutor, let's not speak in riddles; if you have something to say, just say it."

Hong Xuanji looked straight at Yin Qi and said: "Who exactly are you?"

Yin Qi smiled lightly: "Am I not a person from the Pan Star?"

Hong Xuanji shook his head and said: "We thought so before, but if you were a person from the Pan Star, the best strategy would have been to fake your death to escape and manipulate the situation from the shadows, but you didn't.

Also, you previously admitted that you were a subject of His Majesty. I think that even on the Pan Star, a Creator should be a cabinet-level figure with their own pride; how could they possibly admit to being a subject of His Majesty?"

Cultivators have the dignity of cultivators.

A Creator is an existence that transcends all living beings.

Even Bai Ziyue does not take the Emperor of Gan seriously, let alone a Creator like Yin Qi.

Yet Yin Qi admitted to this point, which is strange.

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "True, I am indeed not a person from the Pan Star. As for my specific identity, I am sorry, I cannot tell you for the time being; perhaps one day it will be made public.

By the way, let me give you a piece of news.

As far as I know, the Pan Star is indeed planning to return to the Great Thousand World.

Compared to them, you are far too weak.

As far as I know, their leader is at the ninth Thunder Tribulation, and the eight great ministers are all Creators, but this is not even their full strength; one could say they are teeming with experts."

"Really!?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Xuanji's expression could not help but change.

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "Really. Perhaps it won't be long before they send people over, and then you will know."

Hong Xuanji quickly calmed down and said: "Although they are teeming with experts, we are separated by countless distances; I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to invade the Great Thousand World."

Yin Qi nodded and said: "For now, they lack the ability to transport troops on a large scale. However, things are unpredictable; if the Supreme Dao deploys the Eternal Kingdom, then there will be no problem. Or perhaps other circumstances may arise."

Hong Xuanji looked deeply at Yin Qi and said solemnly: "Yin Qi, I will be blunt. We hope to join forces with you to surround and kill Meng Shenji and destroy the Supreme Dao. As long as you agree, you may state your conditions."

Yin Qi's previous words had given him a strong sense of crisis.

Although the Pan Star is teeming with experts, they are separated by the starry sky, and it is not easy to launch an expedition to the Great Thousand World.

If only a few people came, he would have nothing to fear.

But if the Pan Star were to collude with Meng Shenji, that would be the most fatal—Great Gan would be even less able to stop them!

He knew that Meng Shenji had been to the Pan Star.

Yin Qi appeared to be thinking, but in his heart, he smiled happily; he was just waiting for this moment.

After a long time, he said: "Agreeing is possible, but I want the 'Creation Heavenly Book,' the 'Supreme Elixir Scripture,' and the 'Universe Two Classics.' At our level of cultivation, working behind closed doors is no longer enough; we need to read widely."

The "Universe Two Classics" was Yin Qi's primary goal.

Obtaining this scripture is equivalent to obtaining the key to unlocking the laws of space and time.

In the Fengshen world, those below the Immortal Realm cultivate power.

Above the Immortal Realm, they cultivate laws.

To put it simply, it is to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, or perhaps the Great Dao.

The inheritance of the Creation Dao was actually obtained by Hong Xuanji, but it was transferred to the Emperor of Gan; Hong Xuanji knows about the "Creation Heavenly Book."

As for the "Supreme Elixir Scripture" and the "Universe Two Classics," they were obtained by Hong Xuanji from Meng Bingyun.

Originally, the "Universe Two Classics" were secretly left by Meng Bingyun for Hong Yi, but after she died, this scripture was secretly found by Hong Xuanji, who even went so far as to watch Lady Zhao harm Meng Bingyun to death.

From this, one can see how cold-hearted Hong Xuanji is.

Hong Xuanji's eyes were bright as he said in a deep voice: "I can agree to the 'Supreme Elixir Scripture' and the 'Universe Two Classics.' But the 'Creation Heavenly Book' is the foundation of the Imperial family; I must report this to His Majesty."

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "Very well. I will await your good news. As long as these three scriptures are delivered, I will agree to join forces with you.

However, I only agree to take action once, so you must plan carefully.

Rest assured, I will give it my all.

After all, Meng Shenji and I can be considered enemies.

If I were to take action indefinitely, to be honest, I cannot fully trust you."

Hong Xuanji frowned but said nothing more. He stood up and said: "I must report this to His Majesty; I will return later."

"Walk slowly, I won't see you out!"

The Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Study.

Hearing Hong Xuanji's report, the Emperor of Gan's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems we guessed wrong before. I didn't expect the Pan Star's power to be so terrifying; we must speed up our pace.

To resist foreign aggression, one must first pacify the interior. Only by eliminating Meng Shenji and Yin Qi can we clear the obstacles to unifying the Great Thousand World.

Agree to Yin Qi's conditions.

They are just three scriptures; why should we haggle with a dead man?"

Hong Xuanji nodded slowly and said: "Your Majesty, can the Future Lord calculate Meng Shenji's whereabouts?"

The Emperor of Gan shook his head: "Not yet. This person used the Eternal Kingdom to disrupt the Heavenly Secrets; it is impossible to calculate. To deal with him, we can only find a way to lure him out. But the Supreme Dao is heartless; luring him out won't be easy."

Given Meng Shenji's personality, even if they razed the Supreme Dao to the ground, he probably wouldn't appear.

Hong Xuanji said: "Meng Shenji is self-important. If he transcends his period of weakness, he will definitely come to find us. We can just wait for him, or even set a trap. However, we only have one chance. If we cannot keep him, I fear he will collude with the people from the Pan Star. If we invite the wolf into the house, that would be troublesome."

The Emperor of Gan thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

At dusk.

Hong Xuanji returned to the Longxiang Earl Mansion and handed the three scriptures to Yin Qi, saying in a deep voice: "The three scriptures are all here. If we are to take action, we will notify you in time."

"Very well!"

Yin Qi took the three scriptures and said: "I will wait."

Hong Xuanji nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Chan Yinsha walked up and asked in confusion: "Don't you often say that the Emperor of Gan and Hong Xuanji are the most sinister and vicious monarch and subject, and that they cannot be trusted at all? Why do you still want to join forces with them and seek skin from a tiger?"

Yin Qi put away the three scriptures and smiled lightly: "I naturally understand those two monarch and subject. In planning to kill Meng Shenji, they will probably include me in their calculations. But all conspiracies and tricks are illusions in the face of absolute strength.

Meng Shenji won't appear for a short time. By the time he appears, perhaps I will have already transcended the ninth Thunder Tribulation.

Coupled with my cultivation as a peak Human Immortal and the Heavenly Palace, they are nothing to fear."

Although he is still an intermediate Human Immortal, he has already touched the bottleneck.

And in his immortal cultivation, he will probably be at the Nascent Soul stage by then.

Ninth Thunder Tribulation, peak Human Immortal, plus the Nascent Soul stage—with such terrifying cultivation, he is almost invincible below the Yang God. Even with bare hands, he would dare to face the Boat of Creation, let alone the fact that he still has the Heavenly Palace.

His advantage lies in the fact that he understands the Emperor of Gan and Hong Xuanji, but they do not understand his trump cards.

With the Heavenly Palace in hand, he is in an invincible position.
