Chapter 1655

But destroying the Li family in the short term was impossible.

And right after Ximen Wudi finished speaking.

Cao Zhengchun withdrew.

After all, these matters were not under his jurisdiction.

1460 his eyes flared with brilliant light

Yet Ximen Wudi focused his attention inward.

At that moment, the summoning panel showed:

Clearly written:

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have summoned the Nine Nether King, at the peak of Saint Rank 8!"

"Boom!"

Feeling the aura radiating from the other.

Ximen Wudi's eyes flared with brilliant light.

"Nine Nether King, go and annihilate the Li family."

"Make sure Li Yan knows the Great Han will not tolerate his provocation!"

A cold voice rang out.

Causing the Nine Nether King standing below to stiffen involuntarily.

A look of excitement crossed his face.

The Li family? That was a juicy target.

"Your servant obeys the imperial decree!"

As his voice faded.

He vanished from where he stood.

At this moment, Ximen Wudi said nothing more.

His brows furrowed.

Now, he had many Saint Rank 9 warriors under his command, yet to stand against the Li family—

He was still far too weak.

If his guess was correct,

Daqin City was surely already under surveillance.

But since his summoning card could summon a Saint King,

Repelling them should not be difficult.

In the days ahead,

Ximen Wudi waited for the Nine Nether King's return.

Indeed, several months later,

A sound of hooves echoed.

Immediately, an army entered the imperial capital.

The lead figure was an old man.

He wore battle armor, a precious saber at his waist.

The aura radiating from him was terrifying beyond measure.

So much so that even the guards dared not approach even half a step.

When they arrived outside Ximen Wudi's mansion,

They halted.

He respectfully called out:

"Your servant, Nine Nether, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"Rise!"

Seeing Nine Nether, Ximen Wudi spoke.

"Thank Your Majesty!"

Then he continued:

"Tell me—about the Wanbao Tower."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing the voice, Nine Nether replied.

Then he spoke slowly:

"Your Majesty, the Wanbao Tower originally came from Dahuang Province.

The tower's master is Li Yan, a disciple of the Li family.

His mother was a noble consort of the Dayan Empire!

It is said she once married the Emperor of Daxia and bore him a son and a daughter.

But due to various reasons, she was exiled.

No one expected Li Yan would find her.

And raise her to greatness, making her the head of the Wanbao Tower.

Yet recently, she suddenly vanished.

And treasures within the Wanbao Tower were stolen.

Now it is in complete chaos."

This subordinate guesses that the master of the Wanbao Tower must be hiding in some corner.

However, the strength of those people from Wanbao Tower is not weak.

If our army wishes to attack them, we need to dispatch top-tier experts.

However, currently, almost all the experts on the continent have been deployed to the Eastern Border.

Therefore, I hope Your Majesty can dispatch some reinforcements!"

"Mm, the Zhen Society will consider it. You may withdraw!"

After hearing the voice, Ximen Wudi said slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, the Nine Nether King took his leave.

As for Ximen Wudi, he fell into deep thought.

Wanbao Tower could be said to be his trump card among subordinates; if it were truly destroyed,

the impact on himself would be extremely great.

And just as the Nine Nether King arrived outside the great hall,

"Boom—!"

a tremendous roar sounded.

Then, a flood dragon soared straight up into the sky.

Its massive body coiled and spiraled across the heavens.

"Ao—!"

As bursts of Long Yin sounded,

a man walked down from atop it.

It was none other than that Ao Bing.

Upon seeing the Nine Nether King, the other party did not exchange pleasantries either.

He said directly,

"I heard Your Majesty's summons.

I rushed here specially to protect Your Majesty!"
