Chapter 503

In fact, the reason why Zheng He did not hand the Yongle Sword to Zhu Wushi was not because Zheng He was greedy for the Yongle Sword and did not want to hand such a divine weapon to others.

You must know that the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di had great kindness toward Zheng He; it could be said that the reason Zheng He had his current achievements was all given to him by Zhu Di.

So for so many years, in order to repay the kindness of the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, no matter how profound Zheng He's cultivation was, he would wholeheartedly protect the Emperor of the Great Ming.

It could be said that Zheng He was incomparably sincere to the Zhu family.

It was precisely because he was incomparably sincere to the Zhu family that Zheng He had never handed the Yongle Sword to Zhu Wushi.

Zheng He had long seen through Zhu Wushi's wolfish ambition; when Zhu Wushi was still very weak, Zheng He had been paying attention to Zhu Wushi's growth. Zheng He was very clear about the matter of Zhu Wushi framing Gu Santong and absorbing the internal energy of the Eight Major Factions back then.

And for so many years, Zhu Wushi had been cultivating forces in the dark, assassinating Zhu Houzhao time and time again; Zheng He was also clear about this in his heart.

It was just that Zheng He did not want to kill a member of the Zhu family with his own hands unless it was a last resort.

And for Zheng He, besides having some problems with his character, Zhu Wushi was a top choice in other aspects; Zhu Wushi could be called a generation of heaven's pride.

So although Zheng He knew that Zhu Wushi had done all kinds of sinister things, the reason he had not taken action was that he did not want to damage the power of the Zhu family itself; he wanted to let Zhu Wushi gradually become the guardian of the Zhu family as well.

Moreover, Zheng He believed that as long as he was there, he could suppress Zhu Wushi's ambition at any time.

The reason he did not give Zhu Wushi the Yongle Sword was because Zhu Wushi's heart was still thinking about doing things that would harm the Great Ming; if Zhu Wushi could become the second guardian of the Great Ming with peace of mind in the future, Zheng He could truly return the Yongle Sword to the Zhu family and hand it to Zhu Wushi with his own hands.

Zhu Wushi looked at Zheng He, who was showing off his power with the Yongle Sword, with a very sinister look in his eyes.

"Only people of our Zhu family are worthy of using the Yongle Sword!"

Zhu Wushi roared in his heart.

"Tianquan, Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect, I hope you really have the ability to kill Zheng He!"

Zhu Wushi whispered softly.

When Tianquan and the men in black stood on the opposite side of Zheng He, Zhu Wushi sensed that the person who had just assassinated Zheng He and was now standing at the head of the men in black was none other than Tianquan of the North Dipper Hall of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect, who had negotiated with him before!

Because Zhu Wushi practiced the Power-Absorbing Great Art, he was extremely sensitive to the internal energy cultivated by others.

In addition, when he met Tianquan before, Zhu Wushi had carefully sensed the aura in Tianquan's body, so at this moment, although he was relatively far away from Zheng He and the men in black, he could still recognize at once that the leading man in black was definitely Tianquan!

On the other side, Zheng He was staring fixedly at the organization of men in black led by Tianquan.

Of course, at this time, Zheng He did not know that the person standing opposite him was from the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect, which ranked first on the Gold List.

"Who are you??!!!"

"Which faction do you belong to?!"

"Why do you want to take action against me?!"

Zheng He looked at the organization of men in black in front of him, wanting to judge which faction they came from based on the aura revealed by the people among the men in black.

But no matter how Zheng He recalled, he seemed unable to judge which faction they belonged to from the aura on the men in black.

"Why have I never sensed a similar aura and method of internal energy circulation on them???"

"If they came from a major faction, I should have dealt with them."

"But if they came from some small faction, it would be impossible to cultivate powerhouses like them."

Zheng He thought in his heart; although he had not judged which faction this group of people belonged to, Zheng He had already sensed their cultivation strength from the aura they revealed.

The man in black who had just assassinated him, that is, the leader now standing at the very front of the men in black, had the same realm as him and must be at the Earth Immortal * Heavenly Man Realm; it was just that they had not truly fought yet, so Zheng He did not know whether Tianquan was at the late stage of the Earth Immortal * Heavenly Man Realm, or at the peak, or had the same Perfected cultivation as him.

And the men in black behind Tianquan were all at the Earth Immortal Realm.
