Chapter 125

Li Miao finally confessed his thoughts to Zhu Zai.

Yet he heard a cold snort from Zhu Zai: "After talking for so long, isn't it still about becoming 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 out to hit people every time you read halfway."

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

"Alright, alright," Zhu Zai waved his hand impatiently: "I understood."

"You think we are all vulgar people, wanting to be extraordinary and become gods, right?"

Li Miao spread his hands.

"Do whatever you want without overstepping the rules, right? You're not wrong to say that."

Zhu Zai nodded.

"Fine, I understand."

"Then how much longer until you become a god? Twenty years?"

Li Miao said: "I entered Shaolin Temple today and chatted with Master Xingchi, and I have some ideas, but I haven't thought clearly about how to do it."

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

"Still being an Imperial Guard?"

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

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

"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 away 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 a Northern Imperial Guard Commander.

"From today, you are the Commander of the Northern Imperial Guard. On my order, patrol the Jianghu and investigate all illegal activities in the world."

"Anyway, the Emperor already has the intention of kicking our Imperial Guard's nest; a few days ago he even said he wanted to build some 'Eastern Depot,' clearly wanting to disperse us. I'm worried about how to mediate, and with you stirring things up outside, I have some bargaining chips."

"Just make trouble according to your temperament; the bigger the trouble, the stiffer my waist will be."

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 Imperial Guard Commander, what about old Bu?"

Zhu Zai sneered.

"Hmph, what about him? The person is dead, so the position is naturally vacant."

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

Zhu Zai raised his hand and slashed in the air, exactly the "One Blade" from the "Iron Punishment War Post."

Ssh—

Boom!

It directly cut the entire camp tent into two, which collapsed to both sides, raising a sky full of dust.

"Cough cough cough..."

He heard someone not far away cough lightly, staring at Li Miao with a pair of eyes, and said slowly.

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

The person supporting him on the side nodded and bowed: "Yes, the subordinates 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 exactly that heavenly being expert who fell into the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" during the day, as well as Bu Lei who was supporting him.

Li Miao turned to smile at Zhu Zai: "Commander-in-Chief, was this all planned by you?"

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

Zhu Zai snorted coldly.

"In terms of fighting fiercely, 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 fighting fiercely, and you're planning?"

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

"Right now, what's the plan?"

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

And then tightened his cuffs and shook his wrists.

"Kill them all," Zhu Zai slowly drew his embroidered spring sword.

"Won't there be trouble?"

Li Miao asked.

Zhu Zai took off the binding from his sleeve and wrapped the sword hilt around his hand circle by circle.

"Killing during the day, it's you and me killing, there's trouble."

"Killing at night, it's Ji Tianrui killing, no trouble."

"These experts hidden by the imperial court who are about to die all use secret methods to delay the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man,' and are drowsy all day, only waking up for a moment when doing things. They have no relatives or friends, so don't worry about anyone seeking revenge."

"I have ways to deal with official matters."

Li Miao heard Zhu Zai say this and smiled.

"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 long while, he added in a low voice.

"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'll definitely finish early."

The two of them spoke one after another, as if they were joking, not caring at all that the expressions of those two were becoming increasingly ugly.

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

"Commander-in-Chief, I considered you my superior for many years, and even spoke good words for you to Lord Wan for a long time, only saying that Li Miao's origin was unknown and clearly harbored rebellious intentions. You were just temporarily deceived."

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

Zhu Zai sneered.

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

"Imperial Guard family discipline: those who are unrighteous die, those who are disloyal are sliced!"

"Die!"

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

"Well fought!"

Bu Lei shouted sharply, as if he wanted to fight head-on, and galloped toward him.

However, halfway there, 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 caught in the struggle between Li Miao and that person's heavenly being realm, and actually ran while fighting tacitly, disappearing in a blink.

Li Miao shook his head and smiled.

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

Immediately, he looked at that heavenly being expert from the imperial court.

"May I ask your name?"

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

Subsequently, 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 when Yun Zelin "transformed" on Mount Tai that day, he also had white smoke emanating from his whole body.

"Let me see."

Li Miao raised his hand and struck, his true energy surging, driving away the white mist around that person.

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

His hair was as black as ink, his face was square, and he had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a straight nose and prominent cheeks.

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

He was shockingly a heroic man!

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