Chapter 111

After all.

This is a being comparable to the peak realm of Heavenly Humans.

Even with the Great Tang's foundation, it might not have one or two such figures.

Even at a critical moment.

A single expert of this caliber would be enough to defy fate and reverse an unfavorable situation!

Yet now, it has slipped through their fingers for nothing.

One can imagine.

At this moment, how wretched her mood truly was!

It would not be an exaggeration to say her heart was bleeding!!

Meanwhile, inside the Tongwen Hall.

Watching the contents of the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

Li Siyuan's heart gave a sudden jolt, and his hand unconsciously tightened.

The originally valuable tea cup instantly shattered at the sound.

Regarding this.

He paid it no mind.

A trace of relief surfaced on his face.

"Hoo~"

"I never expected the Celestial Master Mansion to still have such a powerhouse."

"Fortunately, fortunately, I cleaned up the aftermath back then in time, leaving not a single trace."

"Otherwise, if such a being came to the Zhaoshang Sect, I'm afraid even my foster father could only bind me up and hand me over to atone for the crime!"

While feeling relieved.

Li Siyuan simultaneously felt a wave of helplessness welling up inside.

At the same time, his craving for power grew even stronger!

He knew.

Only great strength could free him from his foster father, could free him from the helplessness he faced in dire straits!

And just as his expression kept shifting.

Inside Yuzhou city.

A white-haired old madman, upon seeing the contents of the Heavenly Dao Golden List, trembled violently all over.

His originally drowsy, drunken eyes also regained clarity at this moment.

At the same time, his lost memories came flooding back like a tide.

After quite a while.

Only then did the old man come back to his senses, kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his aged face, sobbing softly.

"This disciple is unfilial, not only losing wife and children, but even causing the Celestial Master Mansion to fall into decline from this!"

"I have failed my Master's cultivation, and have no face to face the fellow disciples who sacrificed themselves for the Celestial Master Mansion!"

Great Ming, the Forbidden City.

"Hoo~"

"Yet another supreme powerhouse!"

"What kind of being is this Qinglong Society's Grand Dragon Head?"

"Why is it that even the Dragon Heads under him can be so extraordinary?!"

"And what on earth is he scheming?!"

Zhu Houzhao exclaimed twice in wonder.

His tone was inexpressibly envious.

Speaking to the latter part.

A thick curiosity flashed through his eyes.

But the moment he thought of the news about Great Sui and Great Han he had just received.

And then connected it with the current situation of Great Ming.

His expression couldn't help but fall.

Furrowing his brows tightly, he let out a deep, long sigh.

"Sigh~ Truly troubled times indeed."

"Judging by the current situation, chaos is probably not far off!"

Speaking of this issue.

Zhu Houzhao felt as if his head was swelling to twice its size.

Although chaos represents opportunity, it also represents a reshuffling of the Nine Provinces' powers.

But the problem is.

With Great Ming as it is now.

Facing the three great imperial dynasties of Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang, all with flourishing national strength.

Is there really any chance of winning?

The answer is self-evident.

But to have him just sit and wait for death.

He was deeply unwilling in his heart!

He thought it over from every angle.

In the end, he could only turn his attention to the other great empires among the Eight Great Imperial Dynasties.

Because, in his view,

compared to Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang,

Great Ming and Great Song were weaker by more than a single measure.

But if they could form an alliance and help each other,

they would not be something any one of those three imperial dynasties could bully!

Moreover,

under a reshuffling,

it might not only preserve their own house, but perhaps even rise another level — it was not impossible!

Of course,

he also knew

that to ally with even Great Song,

the most basic point

was to completely control Great Ming.

Otherwise,

even if an alliance could be formed, could an alliance with such a disparity in strength truly be reliable?

"Your Majesty, the Night Emperor has returned!"

At that moment, Wei Jinzhong's voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall.

"Invite him in! Quickly, invite him in!"

Zhu Houzhao sprang to his feet in an instant.

His face was somewhat flushed from excitement.

Heaven have mercy —

he had longed for this day, he did not know for how long.

Now, at last, his wish could be fulfilled, to retake the great treasure.

It would be hard not to be excited!

Clip-clop, clip-clop.....

As the sound of footsteps rang out.
