Chapter 114

Forcibly restraining the urge to slap him dead with one palm.

Ximen Wudi shot him an annoyed sideways glance.

"How could I possibly!"

"Look, you're being too polite with me, aren't you?"

"Do I look like the kind of person who loves to show off?"

Li Taibai was stunned for a moment.

Saying barefaced lies with eyes wide open.

"Be more confident — drop the 'like' and the question mark."

"Also, if you can't come up with one reason for disturbing my quiet cultivation, I think it's necessary to explain that poem to the world."

He gave a light snort.

Ximen Wudi's face was utterly serious.

Once these words came out.

Li Taibai was immediately startled half out of his wits.

The smile that had been brimming on his face instantly stiffened.

Right after, his face nearly turned green.

Having no time to think it over, he hurriedly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Um, well, coming here today, I don't really mean anything else."

"It's just that those fellows all gave my disciple a meeting gift, so..."

The rest of the words didn't come out.

But the meaning was plain as day.

The other Dragon Heads had all given meeting gifts.

Could you, the Great Dragon Head, have the nerve not to give one?

Hearing this explanation.

Ximen Wudi's face went blank.

Then he was both annoyed and amused.

After all that fuss.

He came just to ask for a meeting gift?!

He rolled his eyes speechlessly at the sheepishly grinning Li Taibai.

A great sleeve swept through the air.

In an instant.

A three-chi long sword appeared out of thin air.

The sword's body was silvery white all over, gleaming with a chilling cold light, looking sharp and fierce.

And at the very moment this sword appeared.

The temperature inside the room dropped sharply.

Making one faintly feel a creeping, spine-chilling dread.

This alone was enough to show how extraordinary this sword was!

"This sword is named White Frost, forged from Nine Heavens Meteorite Iron and Deep Cold Ice Marrow."

"I hope you won't dull its edge in the days to come!"

With a wave of his hand, he sent it before Lu Linxuan.

Ximen Wudi instructed with an indifferent expression.

"Hurry up and thank the Great Dragon Head!"

Seeing his disciple standing dumbly in place as if she'd gone stupid.

Li Taibai hurriedly called out to her.

Lu Linxuan's delicate frame trembled slightly, and she came back to her senses.

She accepted White Frost with both hands and bowed respectfully.

"Thank the Great Dragon Head for bestowing the sword. Lin Xuan will surely live up to the Great Dragon Head's expectations!"

"Good." Ximen Wudi nodded slightly.

…………

Great Ming, Protector Dragon Shanzhuang.

"Damn it!"

"Not coming back early, not coming back late, 偏偏 coming back at this very moment!"

"This Prince hates it!!"

He cursed under his breath twice.

Zhu Wushi's face was black as the bottom of a pot.

Clearly stung by the news of the Night Emperor's return.

At the same time, he was grinding his teeth with hatred toward the Night Emperor!

He hadn't come back for over ten years, not even a single letter.

Yet just when he was about to succeed in his rebellion, he came back.

Wasn't this obviously making things difficult for him on purpose!!

He smashed up the decorations in the room, venting the discontent in his heart.

Zhu Wushi's expression eased slightly as he calmed down.

Then he fell into deep thought.

Trying to analyze the current situation.

But the moment he thought of the Night Emperor's strength, he was instantly overcome with discouragement again!

Although they were brothers.

He knew very well that this Night Emperor had already been a towering figure of the Great Ming jianghu back in the day!

His cultivation had long since broken through to the Land Immortal realm!

Apart from figures like Zhang Sanfeng, the great mountains of the Wu Lin, one could almost say he could walk sideways without anyone daring to stop him!

Especially since he also bore the name of an imperial scion of the Great Ming royal house.

Even if his actions were somewhat overbearing, no one dared to provoke him.

Although he had vanished for over a decade.

His cultivation could well be imagined!

At this thought.

Zhu Wushi's expression shifted several times.

He clenched his teeth tightly.

His clenched fists trembled slightly from the excessive force.

He knew.

If there were no outside help.

Let alone succeeding in the rebellion.

Whether he himself could even stay alive was a question!

After all.

With just the single Night Emperor alone.

His side had absolutely no one who could be his match!

In such a case.

The outcome could well be imagined.

"Damnable!!"

"After plotting for over a decade, must this king ultimately only flee?!"

Zhu Wushi muttered to himself in a harsh voice, his face ugly.

The sinister gleam in his eyes was chilling.

The unwillingness in his heart reached an unprecedented height.
