Chapter 447

"True!"

Though Tie Muzhen would not admit it, he knew the Qinglong Society was truly not something his household alone could match.

"Enough, Khan, make your arrangements quickly — let's overthrow the Great Ming!"

"This is the very crux of what we must do right now."

"Good! Chancellor Yelu, order Zhu Wushi to speed up his advance."

"I'll only give him ten days — he must breach the Great Ming capital Jingcheng and seize the Forbidden City!"

"This minister shall go and deliver the order at once."

Yelu Chu hurriedly turned and went down to deliver the order.

……

Great Tang, Great Ming Palace.

"That Ximen Wudi fellow really does have a lot of beauties around him!"

"Wan'er, what do you think — how do I compare with them?"

Wu Zetian reclined on the Long Yi, gazing up at Mu Wanqing and Yin Tianxue in the sky, her words tinged with jealousy.

Shangguan Wan'er could not help but smile wryly — Your Majesty's focus is a bit off, isn't it?

"No matter how beautiful they are, how could they compare to even a ten-thousandth of Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is the sun; they don't even count as dust."

Wu Zetian's looks truly did surpass Mu Wanqing's and Yin Tianxue's, so Shangguan Wan'er wasn't exactly Ma Pi-ing.

"Then why does he keep snatching these sorry-looking fruits and never once come to Great Ming Palace?"

"Uh……"

Shangguan Wan'er was covered in black lines.

That was truly something she could not answer.

After all, if Ximen Wudi really came to Great Ming Palace and carried Wu Zetian off, the Great Tang would probably be finished too.

But if Ximen Wudi doesn't come, does that truly mean he looks down on Wu Zetian?

"Your Majesty! The one who's been abducting the beauties of the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List has always been Li Canghai of the Qinglong Society, the May branch."

Yuan Shoucheng stepped forward to rescue Shangguan Wan'er,

"And from this minister's observation, the order in which Li Canghai abducts them has always followed the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List."

"With Your Majesty's looks, you must surely rank first on the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List."

"Exactly, exactly……"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, alright!"

Wu Zetian's displeasure turned to delight,

"Tell me the useful information from this Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List!"

"First should be the Qinglong Peak and the Mission Hall mentioned in Mu Wanqing's introduction."

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes lit up, secretly sighing with relief that they were finally on the proper topic.

"We should just give up……"

Yuan Shoucheng smiled wryly,

"Normally, as long as this old man knows a name, I can divine seven or eight parts of it."

"The moment those three words 'Qinglong Peak' came out, I had already combined them with the Spirit-Communicating Coin, trying to divine Qinglong Peak's location."

"And the result?"

Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er, and all the civil and military officials of Great Tang turned their gazes to Yuan Shoucheng in unison.

"Nothing at all."

Yuan Shoucheng spread his hands, revealing a charred copper coin in his palm.

"And on top of that, I even lost this Spirit-Communicating Coin……"

"What a loss……"

That thought flashed through everyone's mind.

This Spirit-Communicating Coin was a reward from the Heavenly Dao, yet today it was ruined by divining Qinglong Peak.

"National Preceptor, what does this mean?"

Wu Zetian knew, however, that Yuan Shoucheng wasn't saying all this merely to vent.

"This actually means Qinglong Peak is not within the continent-sized world."

"It is one of the Thirty-Six Blessed Lands!"

"And more crucially! Ximen Wudi has laid down Gu Jinzhi measures."

"If one forcibly divines or searches, one will be struck back by his methods."

"It also means, to find Qinglong Peak,"

"unless one is in the Shattered Realm it's still possible, otherwise it's absolutely impossible."

Yuan Shoucheng explained with a bitter smile.

"The Shattered Realm — how could that be possible?"

The civil and military officials of Great Tang exchanged uneasy glances.

Before the Heavenly Dao Golden List was announced, even Land Immortals were rarely seen in the world.

Now, although Land Immortals were gradually becoming more common, and Heavenly Beings were not few either,

yet experts of the supreme Mythical Realm above them were indeed not many.

Not to mention, far above the Supreme Mythical Realm, there is Void Shattering!

Counting all the famous experts under heaven, within the Great Tang Realm, the one suspected to have shattered the void should be only "Tianmo"!

"Forget it! Since the National Preceptor says so, there's no need to waste manpower and resources on Qinglong Peak."

Wu Zetian trusted Yuan Shoucheng deeply; if he said so, there must be a reason.

"Then this second one, what about Yin Tianxue is worth our attention?"

"The Tong Clan!"

Yuan Shoucheng's eyes lit up,

"I once read in ancient texts that during the primordial era, such a wondrous clan truly existed."

"The children they bore could already commune with heaven and earth the moment they were born."

"By adulthood, they could summon wind and rain, invincible in all directions."

"It is said that back when Huang Di waged war against Chiyou, this clan lent its strength."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Huang Di warring with Chiyou?"

All the civil and military ministers thought this same phrase in unison.

Although the lands of the Nine Provinces also had legends of Huang Di battling Chiyou,

everyone treated that legend as a mythical tale.

Now Yuan Shoucheng was actually saying this Tong Clan truly existed?

Wouldn't that mean the war between Huang Di and Chiyou also existed?

"What does the National Preceptor mean?"

Wu Zetian also felt it somewhat absurd, but as a sovereign, she knew she should not deny it outright.

"Although with this old man's strength, I cannot divine the location of Qinglong Peak,"

"the Tong Clan, combined with this old man's divine calculations, should have a chance."

"Therefore, this old man requests Your Majesty to dispatch people to find the Tong Clan!"

Yuan Shoucheng spoke out the goal in his heart.

"National Preceptor, are you joking?"

"Didn't Yin Tianxue's introduction already make it clear?"

"This Tong Clan has already submitted to the Qinglong Society."

A minister raised a doubt.

In truth, Yin Tianxue's introduction only mentioned that she had joined the Qinglong Society, but never mentioned the Tong Clan.
