Chapter 597

Wu Zetian was also instantly speechless, and could only say,

"Forget it. Since he cannot make contact with the Yin Moon Dynasty, then let him come back for now."

"I do want to know, this Beizhen, exactly which person can match him in a fight."

It's inconvenient to say in a letter, and Wu Zetian doesn't trust asking in person, and the Cangqu Society won't say.

"The Heavenly Demon has already begun the return journey and will be back in a few days."

Shangguan Wan replied.

"Very good!"

Wu Zetian nodded in satisfaction,

"The news of the Yin Moon Dynasty must continue to be sealed off."

"Yes!"

This didn't need Wu Zetian to say it—Shangguan Wan would do it anyway.

410 Good! Woman, here I come!

The Great Yuan, Imperial Court!

"Damnable. Tuo Lei just made the rankings, how was he already exposed?"

Tie Muzhen was at a loss. He had just paid an enormous price to resurrect Tuo Lei, making him one of the Thirteen Wings.

He never expected the Heavenly Dao Golden List to expose him directly.

"Great Khan! This can also be considered good news."

The Great Yuan Chancellor Yelu Chu was still in Yunzhou and had not returned to the dynasty; now the one attending Tie Muzhen was

the Vice Chancellor Boyan.

"Oh? How so?"

Tie Muzhen was somewhat puzzled—what kind of good news was this?

He only heard Boyan explain,

"Prince Tuo Lei was personally struck down by Ximen Wudi from within the Sword Realm, with that heaven-shaking sword strike, killed beyond the Western Xia border."

"Now our Great Yuan, through the divine ability of the Thirteen Wings, not only resurrected Prince Tuo Lei, but even got him onto the Heavenly Dao Golden List."

"And he sits high at twenty-second place!"

"Great Khan, what do you think the martial artists of the world will think?"

"What will the various powers think?"

"And what will even the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, think?"

Upon hearing this, Tie Muzhen's eyes lit up,

"Oh? Seems there's some sense to it!"

Ximen Wudi is publicly acknowledged as the foremost taboo of the Nine Provinces; no one in the world does not hold him in awe.

Xiao Jingtian, Xiao Aoshi—such supreme experts—abandoned the foundations they had built over thousands of years and joined the Qinglong Society directly.

What was the reason?

Any fool would know, wouldn't they!

But now, Tuo Lei—killed by Ximen Wudi's own hand—has actually been brought back to life by Great Yuan!

This is no different from, before the eyes of the entire world, striking back at Ximen Wudi.

Tie Muzhen had already understood, and could not help but burst into hearty laughter.

Being able to strike back at Ximen Wudi—this is something the various powers and lords of the world wouldn't dare even think about, alright?

Great Yuan is really awesome, I am really awesome!

Tie Muzhen secretly gave himself a thumbs-up!

"But Great Khan, misfortune is where fortune leans, fortune is where misfortune hides—that saying of the Central Plains people is not far off."

Boyan saw Tie Muzhen's happiness, but he also saw the risks hidden within the matter of Tuo Lei.

"You mean, the Qinglong Society might come looking to save face?"

Tie Muzhen was indeed worthy of being the Great Khan of Great Yuan—he caught on at once.

"Exactly! Great Khan, Prince Tuo Lei is currently outside carrying out a mission."

"Now that the Qinglong Society knows of his news, this minister only fears they will work against Prince Tuo Lei."

This was not spoken at random.

Tuo Lei, having been reborn, sat high at twenty-second on the Heavenly Dao Golden List, shocking the world.

But the Qinglong Society is full of experts—setting aside distant ones, just take Di Shitian, Xiao Jingtian, and Xiao Aoshi.

And the remaining six Dragon Heads.

Any one of them coming out could make Tuo Lei suffer a setback.

"Makes sense! No, we must quickly send experts to go meet and escort Tuo Lei."

Tie Muzhen was getting anxious. After finally paying a huge price to get back such a promising son,

how could he bear to let the Qinglong Society kill him again?

"Also, quickly use secret methods to notify Tuo Lei—that Qiu Lingsu, don't bother with her anymore."

"I will send someone else to kill this wretched woman."

One Qiu Lingsu did disgust Tie Muzhen,

but compared to his precious son Tuo Lei, Tie Muzhen cared more about Tuo Lei.

"Yes! This subordinate will go arrange it at once."

Boyan immediately summoned an attendant and ordered him to go make the arrangements.

"It's just that the Sutra King isn't here, nor is my lord Zhamuhe, and the four Grand Masters including the Living Buddha have yet to return."

"Not a single top expert of our court is in the imperial city."

Boyan gave a bitter smile and asked Tie Muzhen,

"But I wonder who should be sent to go meet and escort Prince Tuo Lei."

Tie Muzhen could not help falling speechless.

In his heart he secretly regretted it — if only he had known, he wouldn't have sent all these top experts away.

"Then send every single one of the offerings to escort him."

"Remember, if Prince Tuo Lei dies, none of them need to come back."

After deliberating for a long time, Tie Muzhen could only issue a cruel, yet helpless order.

Apart from the Nation-Protecting offerings, the Great Yuan naturally also had ordinary offerings of lower ranks.

Most of these people lingered around the Heavenly Being Realm.

Even if they all died, as long as they could bring Prince Tuo Lei back, Tie Muzhen felt it was worth it.

"Yes, my lord!"

Boyan sighed inwardly, yet knew he must obey.

"Also, gather beauties and send them to that Di Er Daohuang!"

"This man is on the same level as Prince Tuo Lei, so his strength is clearly not low."

"If he can join our Great Yuan, he'd be worth more than dozens of ordinary offerings."

Having no formidable strength of his own, after Tie Muzhen finished arranging things, he could only leave it to fate.

To shift attention, he simply threw caution to the wind, preparing to use beauty to lure Di Er Daohuang.

"The Great Khan is wise…"

……

Yunzhou, Heartbreak's End!

This was an ordinary thatched cottage in the mountains.

To avenge the shame of his defeat at the hands of Di Yi Xiehuang, Di Er Daohuang did not hesitate to sever his emotions and cut off love,

abandoning his wife and casting off his daughter, in order to cultivate the Seven Absolutes of Severing Emotion.

Even this utterly ordinary thatched cottage had been given the name Heartbreak's End by him.

All to remind himself to forget emotion and cut off love.

Love was the greatest enemy of swordsmanship.

This was what he had always told himself.
