eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking of the other party’s terrifying strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a few traces of wariness couldn't help but emerge on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a few seconds,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>suddenly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of inspiration hit Temujin, as if he had thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body shook slightly, his pupils contracted sharply!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gasped, his tone somewhat shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixth Dragon Head, sixth place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it should be correct!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, hiss~ the Azure Dragon Society is truly terrifying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually possessing such shocking influence!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exclaiming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temujin’s gaze flickered uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock on his face did not fade for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this guess was too exaggerated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exaggerated to the point that even though he was the ruler of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the second-ranked of the eight great dynasties,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he was also given a big fright by his own conjecture at this moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the more he pondered, the more he felt this possibility was greater!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>why were there seven Dragon Heads in the Azure Dragon Society?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding Zhang Sanfeng who had already made the list,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at this moment, the sixth place happened to be the Sixth Dragon Head Zhang Daoling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be a coincidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if divided according to strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the smaller the Dragon Head number, the stronger the strength should be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were five of the seven Dragon Heads left who hadn't made the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao Gold List also happened to have five spots left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had to make him suspicious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, the next top five would be the five Dragon Heads of the Azure Dragon Society!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn't have one hundred percent certainty,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the feeling in the dark told him\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that his idea was correct!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temujin took two deep breaths to calm his mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head and whispered in a voice only he

top five will all be occupied by the Azure Dragon Society,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"the influence of the Azure Dragon Society is already very huge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the next ranking is really as I thought, then I must find a way to check and balance him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temujin frowned and fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Tang, Fengxuan Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it is the Celestial Master Mansion lineage, no wonder I felt this name was somewhat familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withdrawing his gaze from the void,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zetian muttered thoughtfully, her small face full of enlightenment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was that she suddenly remembered\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that the Celestial Master Mansion of the past\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was also a famous force within the Great Tang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even, it was not inferior to the Phantom Sound Workshop, Tongwen Pavilion, or Xuanming Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a pity that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it ultimately couldn't resist decline,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so much so that now there were only a few cats and kittens left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the core inheritance, the Five Thunders Heart Technique, had disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the ruler of the Great Tang Dynasty, the only female emperor of the Nine Provinces, and having an organization like the Bad People under her command,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she clearly understood\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that the decline of the Celestial Master Mansion was mainly attributed to the Tongwen Pavilion and Xuanming Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the joint efforts of both sides,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just relying on one of them wanting to take action against the Celestial Master Mansion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at most it would have been a situation of both sides suffering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zetian’s expression suddenly became somewhat ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought of Zhang Daoling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Celestial Master Mansion hadn't declined and the direct descendants were still there,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wouldn't she still have a chance to build a relationship with them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even, if she were willing to bleed a little,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it wouldn't be impossible to recruit them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there were no ifs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would be strange if her mood were good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collecting her thoughts, Wu Zetian shook her head and sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, forget it, obtaining it is my luck, losing it is my fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything is perhaps already destined in the dark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>saying so was one thing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but deep in her heart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she still couldn't help but be secretly annoyed at the Xuanming Sect and Tongwen Pavilion. ===== CHAPTER 111 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After

existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at critical moments,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one such expert is enough to defy the heavens and change fate, reversing an unfavorable

moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying her heart was dripping blood wouldn't be an exaggeration!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, inside the Tongwen Pavilion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>seeing the content on the Heavenly Dao Gold List,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Siyuan felt a palpitation in his heart and subconsciously exerted force with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally expensive teacup shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he didn't care,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a trace of luck appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect the Celestial Master Mansion to have such an expert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, fortunately, I cleaned up the aftermath in time and didn't leave a trace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, if such an existence came to the door, I’m afraid even the foster father would only be able to tie me up and apologize!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While feeling lucky,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Siyuan felt a sense of powerlessness surge in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he thirsted for power even more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that only powerful strength could get rid of the foster father and get rid of the powerlessness when facing a predicament!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just when his expression was changing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in Yuzhou City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a white-haired crazy old man shook violently when he saw the content on the Heavenly Dao Gold List.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally sleepy drunken eyes also recovered clarity at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the lost memories surged like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a good while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the old man came back to his senses, kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, choking in a low voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The disciple is unfilial, not only losing his wife and children, but even the Celestial Master Mansion has fallen because of this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am

collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning tightly, he sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh~ it’s truly an eventful autumn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging from the current situation, chaos

opportunity and also represents the reshuffling of the Nine Provinces forces,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the problem is,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with the current Great Ming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>facing the powerful Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang, the three great dynasties,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is there really a chance of winning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer is self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to let him sit and wait for death,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he was very unwilling in his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking left and right,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he could only set his sights on the other dynasties among the eight great dynasties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, in his view,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>compared to Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Ming and Great Song were relatively weaker by more than a notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they could form an alliance and help each other,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they wouldn't be bullied by any of those three dynasties!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>under the reshuffling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it might not be impossible to not only keep their own family business but perhaps go a step further!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he also knew\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that to form an alliance with Great Song,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the most basic point\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was to completely control the Great Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if
