Chapter 431

~7 min read 1,230 words

This time, he didn't want to linger any longer; his figure flashed, and he vanished on the spot.

"Sigh! This old monk is leaving too. King Zhuangxiang, take care!"

Living Buddha Lianhua uttered a Buddhist invocation and led the three monks away.

Prince Zichu also turned and left the range of the Deyue Tower, taking Bai Qi and the other Great Qin experts with him.

Once they were out of the city, Bai Qi could no longer hold back and asked,

"Your Highness, since that Ximen Wudi is a fake, he obviously hasn't gone far by now."

"Why don't we go after him right now?"

Shang Yang smiled and answered for Prince Zichu,

"Previously, the three great imperial courts wanted to keep the Obsession Pill as a trump card to deal with Ximen Wudi."

"Now that trump card is destroyed, and the alliance has fallen apart."

"Even if that Ximen Wudi is fake, what good would chasing after him do?"

"If we had kept Zhang Sanfeng and the others here, and the real Ximen Wudi came back, do you think the Qinglong Society would wage an all-out war against Great Qin?"

Hearing this, Bai Qi shuddered all over.

The strength the Qinglong Society had now revealed was already far above Great Qin.

If they truly went to all-out war over this, regardless of victory or defeat, in the end it would only benefit the other two great imperial courts.

This had always been the reason why the three great imperial courts were outwardly cordial but inwardly divided, and never joined forces.

Because what they most wanted to do was actually to provoke the Qinglong Society into fighting the other two first.

"Then didn't we come for nothing this time? Your Majesty's mission can't be completed again."

Bai Qi was indignant. Since the Qinglong Society came into the world, Great Qin, once invincible, had suffered setback after setback!.

266 - The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen Arrives!

"No! The gains this time are tremendous!"

Prince Zichu stroked his beard and smiled, refuting Bai Qi's words.

"Huh? What does Your Highness mean by that?"

When it came to deploying troops, forming arrays, and fighting on the battlefield, Bai Qi was naturally invincible.

But he truly was not skilled at such schemes and plots, and for a moment did not understand Prince Zichu's meaning.

"General, think about it—why would Ximen Wudi send someone to impersonate him?"

Once again, Shang Yang spoke for Prince Zichu, voicing what was on his mind.

"Why?"

Bai Qi fell into thought at these words, and suddenly his eyes lit up,

"Either Ximen Wudi doesn't want to show himself, or he can't show himself?"

"Exactly!"

Shang Yang clapped his hands and laughed,

"Precisely! But by my reckoning, it's more likely that Ximen Wudi cannot show himself."

"After all, since the Qinglong Society came into the world, Ximen Wudi's public image has always been overbearing and domineering."

"Against anyone, he has always only needed one move, or half a move."

"Such a master would disdain having someone impersonate him to frighten us off."

"Because his pride would never allow it."

"In that case? Has Ximen Wudi run into trouble?"

A look of joy appeared on Bai Qi's face.

Since the Qinglong Society came into the world, across the nine provinces of the realm, the three great imperial courts had suffered setback after setback.

Great Qin, which had been thriving and on the verge of unifying the nine provinces, had nearly had its national fortune cut short as a result.

Now that Ximen Wudi had run into trouble, how could Bai Qi not be delighted!

"It must be so!"

Shang Yang was also quite pleased—Great Qin had been suppressed for far too long.

"But we are not yet certain, so the most important thing next is to confirm Ximen Wudi's situation."

"Exactly! Ximen Wudi is the Grand Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, and the Qinglong Society's greatest strength."

"As long as he has run into trouble and cannot appear."

"So-called Qinglong Society, so-called other six Dragon Heads—we have ways to deal with them all."

In Prince Zichu's eyes flickered the confidence of a sovereign.

"Now, return to Great Qin at once and report this news to Your Majesty."

"Then dispatch all our people to try to obtain accurate information on Ximen Wudi."

"As you command!"

The Great Qin experts were overjoyed beyond measure—was the long-standing gloom really about to pass?

……

Elsewhere, Ximen Wudi pressed forward the whole way, but it seemed he truly didn't have much cultivation.

Barely ten li out of the city, he was caught up to by Jiang Yuyan and her group.

"Grand Dragon Head, wait for us!"

Zhang Sanfeng, though puzzled as to why Ximen Wudi was only using ordinary lightness skill to travel, still caught up.

"Puchi—!"

He didn't expect "Ximen Wudi" to suddenly strike that coy, girlish pose and burst out laughing.

"The Grand Dragon Head?"

Zhang Sanfeng and the Water God Ancestor were covered in goosebumps, wondering what had come over the domineering Grand Dragon Head.

"Alright! Seventh Dragon Head, she's not the Grand Dragon Head! She's the Grand Dragon Head's personal maid—Sister Azhu!"

Jiang Yuyan caught up at this moment, also smiling as she exposed the identity of "Ximen Wudi."

Sister Azhu reached up and wiped her face, immediately returning to her original appearance.

"Hehe! Sister Yuyan, how did you recognize me?"

"You! Would the Grand Dragon Head really need the Water God to destroy that broken pill for him?"

Jiang Yuyan gave Sister Azhu's head a gentle tap and smiled affectionately.

Today's situation was critical—even if the Second Dragon Head broke out of seclusion, he might not necessarily be able to resolve this crisis.

But clever Sister Azhu, using this divine-level disguise art improved by Ximen Wudi, had impersonated Ximen Wudi and bluffed the people of the Three Great Dynasties.

"So that's where the flaw was. I thought Sister Yuyan had recognized me."

Sister Azhu playfully stuck out her tongue, causing everyone to burst out laughing.

"Alright! This place isn't far from the city, and although Miss Azhu is clever and skillful, with almost no flaws at all—"

"—Cangju and Prince Zichu, neither of them is easy to deal with."

"We should return to Azure Dragon Peak as soon as possible and discuss further!"

Zhang Sanfeng interrupted their playful banter and suggested.

"Indeed, this place isn't suitable for staying long. Let's go quickly."

Jiang Yuyan nodded. Seeing Li Xunhuan bringing Lin Shiyin to follow, she immediately prepared to depart and leave this place.

"You're Lin Shiyin?"

Just at this moment, an otherworldly white-robed woman, her entire body emanating an eerie black qi, inexplicably appeared beside Li Xunhuan.

"Who…"

Li Xunhuan was greatly shocked and casually released his Little Li Flying Dagger.

The Little Li Flying Dagger that had once made even Cangju sigh in amazement and consider taking Li Xunhuan as a disciple.

This time, however, it did not succeed again.

He only saw this white-robed woman flick her finger, accurately striking the flying dagger.

The Little Li Flying Dagger that had once pierced the Heavenly Demon's stance instantly crumbled into powder and scattered with the wind.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Yuyan and the others also reacted. Zhang Sanfeng and the Water God Ancestor even prepared to act together.

But then they saw two peculiar people happen to appear before them.
