Chapter 429

~7 min read 1,335 words

But now Zhang Sanfeng and the Water God Old Ancestor spoke up together, bringing Li Xunhuan along, and immediately performed the courtesy.

The Seven Dragon Heads of the Qinglong Society would mistake the Great Dragon Head?

"Mm!"

Ximen Wudi waved his hand, gesturing that the three need not stand on ceremony.

Then his gaze swept lightly over the people of the three great imperial dynasties, first asking Cangqu,

"I heard your 'Heavenly Demon Codex' seized the creation of heaven and earth, the supreme divine skill of the demonic sect. Today you act like this—do you mean to fight me?"

Are you kidding?

He couldn't even match the Dao-rhyme jade pendant Ximen Wudi had casually made, so now that Ximen Wudi himself had arrived, where would Cangqu find any fighting spirit?

He hurriedly pulled Lin Shiyin's hand off himself, then gave a light push, actually pushing Lin Shiyin into Li Xunhuan's embrace.

"Great Dragon Head, do not misunderstand! How could Cangqu's cultivation compare with yours?"

"I have come only on the orders of the Great Tang Empress."

"The Empress heard that the Great Dragon Head loves to collect the beauties of the world. This Lin Shiyin ranks thirty-eighth on the Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers List—she can barely catch the Great Dragon Head's eye."

264—Is Cangqu a chameleon?

Shameless!

The same thought flashed through the minds of the people from the other two great imperial dynasties.

This "Heavenly Demon" Cangqu—is he a chameleon?

Just now, when Ximen Wudi had not appeared, he had been tough and overbearing, nearly joining hands with the two great imperial dynasties to act against the Qinglong Society.

Now that Ximen Wudi had just appeared and asked him a single question, he wilted?

And he turned the snatching of Lin Shiyin into presenting her to Ximen Wudi?

If that isn't shameless, what is?

Even the shamelessness-jie sect master Lotus Living Buddha four-person group was now thunderstruck inside and out.

"Oh! I see, the Great Tang Empress is quite thoughtful."

Ximen Wudi actually seemed to truly believe Cangqu's words,

"It's just that Lin Shiyin is the beloved of Zheng Yue. I never take the beloved of another."

Having said that, he paid Cangqu no further heed, and instead turned his gaze to Lotus Living Buddha,

"Great Monk, what business have you come on?"

Cangqu had already wilted; the alliance of the three great imperial dynasties was broken.

At this point, only a fool would resist head-on.

Though helpless, Lotus Living Buddha immediately produced the Infatuated Heart Pill.

"Reporting to the Great Dragon Head, this humble monk previously saw the Heaven's Way Hundred Flowers List announcement. This 'Infatuated Heart Pill' is truly extremely evil and cannot be tolerated by our Fomen."

"Moreover, the Great Yuan heard that someone planned to use this pill against the Great Dragon Head."

"The Khan heard this and was deeply worried, so he specially ordered this humble monk to come and destroy this pill."

"Now that the Great Dragon Head has arrived, that is naturally for the best."

"This pill, I present to the Great Dragon Head, to be disposed of as the Great Dragon Head sees fit."

Compared to Cangqu, Lotus Living Buddha's spine was softer, and he was even more shameless.

The pill rose into the air and floated before Ximen Wudi's eyes.

"Water God, this pill that ruins men—destroy it for me."

Unexpectedly, Ximen Wudi didn't even look at the pill, simply giving the order to the Water God Old Ancestor.

The Water God Old Ancestor found it strange—the Great Dragon Head could do it with a lift of his finger, so why send him?

Perhaps the Great Dragon Head simply had the Great Dragon Head's own style to maintain.

Thinking this, the Water God Old Ancestor leapt into the air and came to Ximen Wudi's side.

With a pinch of his palm, boundless water-attribute world-essence gathered and directly annihilated the Infatuated Heart Pill.

Having dealt with the Infatuated Heart Pill, Ximen Wudi finally turned his gaze upon Prince Zichu.

"King Zhuangxiang, you are not at Lishan, yet you wander all over the Nine Provinces."

"Could it be that you truly believe you still are… heh-heh!"

Hearing this, Prince Zichu's mind was greatly shaken—could this Ximen Wudi see through his background at a single glance?

Truly worthy of being the Nine Provinces' number one taboo!

"Ashamed, ashamed! Great Dragon Head, today it is my Great Qin that has overstepped. In the future I shall certainly come to Dengmen to apologize."

With Ximen Wudi alone arriving, Cangqu and Lotus Living Buddha wilted, leaving only the Great Qin side.

Unless Prince Zichu's head had been squeezed by a door, he absolutely would not come into conflict with Ximen Wudi.

"Very well! I have heard that Princess Yinman is dignified and graceful, incomparably beautiful."

"She is the most dazzling pearl in the palm of the Great Qin Emperor Ying Zheng."

"Let this woman serve as the gift of atonement!"

Ximen Wudi said casually.

"But…"

Bai Qi was furious, and his hand immediately went to the hilt of his sword.

"Impudence!"

Prince Zichu rebuked Bai Qi, then bowed to Ximen Wudi,

"If the Great Dragon Head fancies Yinman, that is her good fortune."

"Once Zichu returns to Great Qin, I will immediately present Yinman with both hands."

"It's just that the Qinglong Society's whereabouts are hard to find — I don't know where to send Yinman."

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi gave a faint smile.

"Just have Princess Yinman dress in her finery and wait for me."

With that, Ximen Wudi turned and took to the air.

Jiang Yuyan and the others saw this and immediately pushed through the crowd, chasing after Ximen Wudi.

Once Ximen Wudi and the Qinglong Society's people had gone far away, the people of the three great dynasties breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ximen Wudi's aura had been strange just now, a man's reputation is like a tree's shadow.

Just the seven characters "Grand Dragon Leader, Ximen Wudi" alone were enough to make everyone, every faction, dare not make the slightest move.

"How vexing!"

Cangqu's face was extremely ugly — as one of the few top martial artists in the Nine Provinces.

Ximen Wudi was the towering mountain that stood before him, one he could never hope to surmount.

Today he had arrived in full force, intimidating everyone present.

In the end, he had wound up being the first to back down, losing face completely.

But even if you let him choose again, he could only choose to give up Lin Shiyin.

After all, if he truly angered Ximen Wudi, the "Heavenly Demon" would become the "Dead Demon"!

"'Heavenly Demon,' rest assured — this old monk and the others will absolutely not speak of today's matter."

Seeing Cangqu's inexplicable fury, Living Buddha Lianhua immediately made a tactful show of loyalty.

Cangqu might have been utterly powerless against Ximen Wudi, but against the few of them, he still had the ability to give them a sound beating.

Rather than wait for his warning, saying it first was a show of goodwill.

"'Heavenly Demon,' set your mind at ease — this one will not leak it either."

This time, all three great dynasties had lost face together, and the Great Qin had suffered the most devastatingly severe losses.

Lin Shiyin and the Infatuated Heart Pill were never the Great Tang's or Great Yuan's to begin with — what they lost was merely one chance to ambush Ximen Wudi.

But what Great Qin lost was Ying Zheng's most beloved daughter — Ying Yinman!

Prince Zichu truly did not know how heartbroken Ying Zheng would be when he learned that his own daughter had been sold off.

But circumstances are stronger than people — what can one do?

"Enough, enough!"

Cangqu waved his hand, cursed his bad luck a few times inwardly, and prepared to leave the place.

"Hahahaha…"

Just as the people of the three great dynasties were preparing to leave, a burst of wild laughter suddenly rang out.
