After Li Miao finished asking, everyone in the room held their breath, waiting for Zheng Qi's answer.

No one is not curious, this person from a thousand years ago, the ancestor of Yingzhou and Penglai, the source of Li Miao's monster bloodline, the person who forced Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi, Zheng Qi, Xue Xue Bangzhu and other masters who can roam the Ordinary Ordinary Ordinary Jianghu to die and flee... what exactly is it for, to live until now?

But the answer Zheng Qi gave disappointed everyone.

"I'm not sure, this matter, only after becoming 'Zheng Zheng Anqi Sheng' will one know, even Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi is not clear."

"I only have three guesses."

Li Miao raised his eyebrows: "Speak."

Zheng Qi said in a deep voice.

"First, practice nature cultivation."

"There is no other nature cultivation method in Yingzhou, or maybe he didn't have the aptitude to practice other nature cultivation realms back then, so he wanted to find another way, relying only on Xuanlan to push his nature cultivation to the peak."

"But this kind of guess also has many places that don't make sense, a thousand years of time, he should have countless other ways, at least he shouldn't live in Yingzhou, but should go to the Central Plains."

"Second, because he lived in Yingzhou, refusing to go to the Central Plains, thus giving birth to the second kind of guess—there is someone or something that makes him afraid to go to the Central Plains."

"And he lived like this, just to wait for that person or thing to be worn away by time."

Li Miao nodded, recognizing Zheng Qi's statement.

So Zheng Qi continued.

"Third... this kind of statement is a bit, not very convincing. If it weren't for some scattered words mentioned in the notes left by the Penglai founder, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of this at all."

Zheng Qi took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Everyone is like a dragon."

"What?" Li Miao frowned.

"Everyone is like a dragon."

Zheng Qi repeated it again, letting Li Miao confirm that he didn't hear it wrong.

"Martial arts, first importance is aptitude. Those qualified to become Heaven-and-Man are one in ten thousand, looking at the entire world's hundreds of millions of people, there are only about a hundred. If you remove those who died, had bad luck, were disabled, and had pearls covered in dust, there are even fewer."

Li Miao twisted his fingers and took over the conversation.

"But the population of Yingzhou and Penglai is just that small, yet the number of Heaven-and-Man is more than the Heaven-and-Man on the bright side of the entire Great Shu Ordinary Ordinary Ordinary Jianghu."

"Yes." Zheng Qi nodded.

"Perhaps, he is exploring a path that allows everyone to practice martial arts, and even allows everyone to become Heaven-and-Man."

Li Miao didn't speak, but Zheng Qi shook her head herself.

"But this kind of guess is actually as untenable as the first two guesses, at least it lacks some extremely critical information."

"I just want to destroy Yingzhou, I don't want to explore Zheng Zheng Anqi Sheng's thoughts, plus Penglai has been separated from Yingzhou for a long time, most of the classics were lost when the door was destroyed, and I was young then, so I can only say so much."

"Whether it is for longevity, for avoiding disasters, or for the people of the world... you have to ask Zheng Zheng Anqi Sheng yourself."

The room was silent for a while, Li Miao thought for a while, and stretched out his third finger.

"The third question, after answering, you can go."

"In Yingzhou, is there anyone else who can inherit the name 'Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi'?"

Zheng Qi sneered.

"No."

"I know what you mean, Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi is dead, no one in Yingzhou can inherit the name of Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi, and the contemporary Zheng Zheng Anqi Sheng is already old, which means Yingzhou's inheritance is on the verge of breaking."

"But, they still have a choice, and that is you."

A proud smile appeared on Zheng Qi's face.

"The entire Yingzhou has inherited for a thousand years, I'm afraid no one can compare with your aptitude. Self-realizing the three paths of life, becoming Xuanlan in one day, even the Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi of that year was like rotten wood compared to you." "If they can capture you and let Zheng Zheng Anqi Sheng be reborn in your body, then no matter what he wants to do, he is not far from success."

"It just so happens that Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi escaped, I'm afraid Yingzhou has already come to the Central Plains in full force, and it is estimated that they have arrived now. Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi's death cannot be covered up, they will definitely have ideas about you."

"Li Miao, you are destined to be an enemy of Yingzhou."

"I, Penglai, Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi couldn't hide, you can't hide either... I hope you can succeed, I will burn incense and worship every day, praying for you!"

Speaking of this, she suddenly turned to look at Zheng Yi.

"Heh... do you think you can run away? Even if you don't stand for Penglai, standing on the side of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you still have to be an enemy of Yingzhou!"

Zheng Qi's smile gradually became crazy.

"All of you, have to take revenge for Penglai! You have to do this! The ritual was destroyed, martial arts were abolished, but do you think my fifty years of painstaking efforts were destroyed just like that?"

"All of you, from the moment you arrived in Nanjing, you were already my accomplices, no matter if I die or not, no matter if you want to or not!"

"The one who survived today, whether it is me, Zheng Zheng Zheng Anqi, or you Li Miao, all have to fight to the death with Yingzhou! This ritual, the entire Nanjing, garrison eunuchs, twenty-eight water villages, were all traps I set from the beginning! Now, it's done!"

"Success doesn't have to be in me! Hahaha—"

Zheng Qi was like a madman, laughing until tears and snot flowed, laughing until she bent over and couldn't breathe.

Until Li Miao waved his hand in disgust.

"Hai'er, take her away, find a place to lock her up for a lifetime, no need to report to me again."

Wang Hai nodded, dragged Zheng Qi's shoulder, and walked out of the door. Zheng Yi's gaze followed for a while, but finally moved away slowly.

But Wang Hai didn't walk towards the city gate.

Strangely, when they were dozens of zhang away, Zheng Qi suddenly fell silent, no longer having the crazy laughter just now.

The two walked for a while, Wang Hai stopped, and threw Zheng Qi to the ground.

Zheng Qi raised her head.

And saw the palace still burning fiercely in front of her, and the corpses scorched black all over the ground.

Wang Hai's voice came from behind.

"You don't seem surprised?"

Zheng Qi sneered.

"What's there to be surprised about?"

"You are Wang Hai, the mad dog raised by Li Miao since childhood, specifically responsible for doing dirty work for him. He asked you to settle me, even if he didn't mean it, you would still pinch the trouble to death for him."

"Whether it's for my daughter or Li Miao, letting me die silently is the best ending, isn't it?"

Wang Hai shook his head.

"You are a smart person, the big thing in Nanjing can be said to be your own work, fifty years of painstaking efforts, but you ended up alone and without a complete corpse, don't you have a trace of regret?"

Zheng Qi stood up slowly.

Li Miao abolished her martial arts, and the means could not be called half gentle. Not to mention the disappearance of the Heaven-and-Man tough physique that had been engraved in the bones, the broken meridians all over the body also kept sending sharp pain.

Just standing up made her forehead full of fine sweat.

"Regret? Regret what?"

Zheng Qi's long hair scattered down, blocking her face, no one could see her expression, her heart.

Just like these forty-eight years of walking alone.
