Chapter 116

Li Miao finally confessed his thoughts to Zhu Zai.

But he heard a cold snort from Zhu Zai: "After talking for a long time, isn't it still wanting to become a monk."

This time it was Li Miao's turn to be speechless.

"No, usually I let you read more books, don't throw the book to hit people every time you read halfway."

"That golden house is not for you to use as a hidden weapon, I mean—"

"Fine, fine," Zhu Zai waved his hand impatiently: "I understand."

"You think we are all vulgar people, wanting to transcend the mundane and become gods, right?"

Li Miao spread his hands.

"Follow your heart, don't overstep the rules. You can say that, it's not wrong."

Zhu Zai nodded.

"Fine, I understand."

"Then how long will it take for you to become a god? Is twenty years enough?"

Li Miao said: "I entered Shaolin Temple today and chatted with Master Xingchi, and I have a rough idea, but I haven't figured out how to do it."

"Five or ten years, I'm still a bit short of perfecting all three paths, and I still need some time."

"Still being an Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"Yes, I'm quite comfortable in the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Then don't go back to Shuntian Prefecture, just drift outside." Zhu Zai concluded.

"The news has already spread in the Jianghu, and you can't hide it even if you want to."

"From now on, don't hide or tuck anymore. Make as much trouble as you can, and be as conspicuous as you can."

"Here's the token."

Zhu Zai threw over a waist token.

Li Miao took it and looked; it was the waist token of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Suppressing Division Commander.

"Starting today, you are the Suppressing Division Commander of the Northern Suppressing Division. On my order, patrol the Jianghu and investigate all illegal activities under heaven."

"Anyway, the Emperor already has the intention to kick our Embroidered Uniform Guard's nest; a few days ago he said he wanted to build some 'Eastern Depot,' clearly wanting to disperse us. I'm worrying about how to mediate, and with you making trouble outside, I can be considered to have some bargaining chips."

"Just make trouble according to your nature; the bigger the trouble, the stiffer my backbone."

Li Miao smiled: "Does this count as making trouble on the Emperor's order?"

"Hey, by the way. You gave me the waist token of the Northern Suppressing Division Commander, what about Old Bu?"

Zhu Zai sneered.

"Hmph, what about him? People are dead, the official position is naturally vacant."

"Calculate the time, he should be here too."

Zhu Zai raised his hand and slashed into the air, which was "One Blade" from the "Iron Punishment War Post."

Swish—

Boom!

Directly cutting the entire camp into two, it collapsed to both sides, raising a sky full of dust.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

He heard someone coughing lightly not far away, staring at Li Miao with eyes fixed, and said slowly.

"Commander Bu was right, Commander Zhu hid a big secret."

The person supporting him nodded and bowed: "Yes, the men I planted received the news and immediately went to report to you."

"Sure enough, caught red-handed!"

Li Miao looked closely and smiled.

The person who came was the heavenly being expert who fell into the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" during the day, and Bu Lei who was supporting him.

Li Miao turned to Zhu Zai and smiled: "Commander-in-Chief, is this all your plan?"

"I said why there was no one in the surrounding camps; it turns out those two lanterns weren't hung for me to see, but for Old Bu to see."

Zhu Zai sneered.

"In terms of being fierce, I'm not as good as you. In terms of planning, you are far behind!"

Li Miao smiled.

"You old man, you misuse words again; I'm just fierce, and you're planning?"

"Fine, for the sake of being promoted today, I won't argue with you."

"Now, what's the plan?"

As he said this, Li Miao took out the black gloves from his bosom and put them on.

Then he tightened his sleeves and shook his wrists.

"Kill them all," Zhu Zai slowly drew his Embroidered Uniform saber.

"Will there be trouble?"

Li Miao asked.

Zhu Zai took the binding from his sleeve and wrapped the saber handle on his hand circle by circle.

"Killing during the day is you and me killing, there will be trouble."

"Killing at night is Ji Tianrui killing, there will be no trouble."

"The heavenly being experts hidden by the imperial court are all using secret methods to delay the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man,' sleepy all day, only awake for a moment when doing things. They have no relatives or friends, so don't worry about anyone seeking revenge."

"I have a way to deal with official things."

Li Miao smiled when he heard Zhu Zai say this.

"Fine, I'll listen to you."

"Then, I'll fight the old one, you fight the small one?"

"Nonsense," Zhu Zai said: "I have to be able to beat the old one too."

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't want to lose momentum in front of Li Miao.

After a while, he added a small sentence.

"If you kill fast, come over and help."

"Bu Lei's martial arts are not bad, and I don't have full confidence."

Li Miao couldn't help but laugh: "Fine, fine, I'll listen to you."

"I will definitely finish early."

The two talked to each other, as if they were joking, not caring at all that the faces of the two were getting uglier.

Finally, Bu Lei couldn't help it and shouted: "Enough!"

"Commander-in-Chief, I respect you as my superior for many years, and I spoke for a long time with Lord Wan, only saying that Li Miao's origin is unknown and clearly harbors rebellious intentions. You were just deceived for a moment."

"Yet I didn't expect you to be so stubborn, actually wanting to go all the way to the dark!?"

Zhu Zai sneered.

"Do I need you, a traitor, to speak for me?"

"Embroidered Uniform Guard family law, the unrighteous die, the disloyal are sliced!"

"Die!"

With a loud shout, he killed directly toward Bu Lei.

"Well fought!"

Bu Lei shouted, as if he wanted to face him head-on, and galloped over.

However, halfway through, the two tacitly turned a corner, getting further and further away, until they disappeared from view.

Clearly, these two looked like they were going to fight to the death on the spot, but they were both afraid of being involved in the heavenly being realm battle between Li Miao and that person, and actually ran away while fighting tacitly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Li Miao shook his head and smiled.

"This old man, really interesting. He talked so wildly, but he ran fast."

Immediately, he looked at the heavenly being expert on the imperial court side.

"May I ask?"

That person raised his hand, and the cloak he was wearing fell off.

Then, a wisp of white smoke emanated from his skin, enveloping him.

Li Miao smiled: "Why do you people like to cover up when transforming? What's the point of that?"

He thought of Yun Zelin on Mount Tai back then, who also emitted white smoke when "transforming."

"Let me see."

Li Miao raised his hand with a palm, his Qi surging, driving away the white mist around that person.

Looking at that person again, he had changed his appearance.

Hair black as ink, face broad and mouth square, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, straight nose and prominent cheeks.

Looking at his figure again, he was over eight feet tall, with a thin waist and broad back, a fan-shaped figure. His two arms were as thick as a house beam, and his four-sided muscles were bulging. The two hands he stretched out were like ten steel hooks.

He was actually a heroic man!

That person's voice also changed, saying roughly: "Heavenly Silkworm Old Man, Wan Tianzong, greetings."
