Chapter 158

"To avoid any mishaps later!"

As if something had just occurred to him.

Wu Zetian spoke directly.

Upon hearing this.

Yuan Tiangang's face showed no reaction.

He nodded and departed in response.

Great Qin, Xianyanggong.

"So they finally moved after all?"

"This force truly astonishes this Emperor!"

Listening to Zhang Han's report.

Ying Zheng smiled, as if he had expected nothing else.

Only when he got to the end.

His eyes flickered with faint flashes of brilliance.

Even though he had long anticipated Qinglong Society's retaliation against Tang.

But he still had not expected.

That Qinglong Society could, while targeting Tang, also spare forces to annihilate Yunzhou Shaolin!

Especially since Yunzhou Shaolin possessed two beings whose cultivation was at least mid-to-late Heavenly Person.

Most importantly,

They won both battles simultaneously!

And won them so decisively!

This truly exceeded his expectations!

Of course,

If it were only this much,

He would not have reacted so strongly.

After all,

The high-level combat power Qinglong Society had previously displayed

Could already have achieved this situation!

Even better, they could have done even more!

What truly left him unsettled was

In this report,

There was not a single trace of Qinglong Society's high leadership!

In other words,

Without a single one of the Seven Dragon Chiefs appearing,

Qinglong Society fought on two fronts—and crushed both!

Just this one point

Made it impossible for him not to think deeply.

"Ah~"

"This Emperor has misjudged."

"Had I known the Nine Provinces would change so swiftly, I should not have hidden them away!"

"At the very least, this would have earned us many Heavenly Dao rewards."

"Now, I only hope the next ranking list emerges soon."

Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed lightly.

His expression grew reflective.

Ever since the Heavenly Dao Golden List descended,

He had already foreseen that the Nine Provinces' landscape would undergo massive change.

The reason he had kept his hidden strengths concealed

Was primarily because he believed everything remained under control.

But what he had not anticipated was

That in less than three months,

Qinglong Society had emerged like a dark horse before the world's eyes.

Even more astonishing was

That within such a short time,

The opponent's power had grown increasingly formidable,

And their ambitions seemed vast indeed.

By the time he realized it,

It was already too late.

Even if he summoned all those old masters,

They would likely be too late to act!

Perhaps,

The only thing offering him some comfort was

At the very least, several people from Great Qin made the list.

It wouldn't be that they got no reward at all.

Otherwise,

His mood would be dozens or even hundreds of times worse than it is now!

And right now,

What he looked forward to most,

Was still the next update of the Daoist List.

And

He had already made up his mind in his heart!

As soon as the next list appears,

He would immediately drag out those old bastards to compete for the Daoist rewards!

Great Yuan, Imperial City.

"Hahaha, that little bitch Tang Huang finally got her comeuppance!"

"I can't wait to see her expression right now!"

"I bet it's incredibly amusing!"

Watching the secret report sent back,

Tie Muzhen couldn't help bursting into loud laughter.

The complete lack of imperial dignity in his manner,

Showed just how elated he was at this moment!

Even the slight displeasure caused by Si Hanfei's failure,

Vanished instantly, completely gone.

But when his gaze dropped lower,

And he saw the news that Yunzhou Shaolin had also been wiped out,

His laughter abruptly cut off.

As if an invisible hand had clamped around his throat.

Causing his old face to flush bright red.

After a long while,

He finally exhaled a slow, heavy breath, and remarked with a sharp gaze.
