He killed the successor of the Itto-ryu, so he wanted to pass on the Itto-ryu for him, so he trained such an apprentice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After reaching a deal with Kurama Heihachi, you sent Sanhao Liangtai to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned to the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao looked at the fallen Kurama Heihachi, while trying his best to maintain the Silence-Illumination illusion to hide his figure, and said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Tianrui nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, there must be bait to lure Lord Li over. But Master Jianzhen’s revival was an accident, which overturned my plan almost completely, and I couldn't prepare any other means to lure you in a hurry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I had to show up in person, and borrow the favor of saving Zhu Yijing when you were fighting Anqisheng that day, to ask you not to make a move for the time being and come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was wondering why Sanhao Liangtai appeared so strangely; it really was Leader Ji’s calculation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You invited me over, surely not to watch a show. Kurama Heihachi can only do this much and has no more strength left. When should we make a move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Tianrui covered her mouth and laughed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you wait a little longer, Lord Li? When Kurama Heihachi stands up and swings a sword at the woman at the end of the path, you can make a move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I still suggest you make a move as late as possible... otherwise, you might miss a good show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader Ji says so, which really makes me interested...
