Chapter 62

"Yes!"

The Houguan bowed and replied softly.

Then, under Yang Guang's wave, he vanished inside the hall.

Great Tang, Changancheng.

"Yuan Aiqing, in your opinion, how does your strength compare to Li Taibai's?"

He casually tossed the urgent letter aside.

Wu Zetian turned her curious gaze toward the side.

Who is stronger, Li Taibai or you?

Yuan Tiangang blinked slightly.

Then fell into deep thought.

After a long while.

He finally replied calmly.

"We have never fought, so I dare not be certain."

"But if we truly clashed, I believe I could match him evenly."

His voice was quiet.

Yet brimming with confidence!

Even though Li Taibai stands behind the Qinglong Society, a colossal force.

The resources he receives must be substantial.

But I am, after all, the Imperial Master of the Great Tang Dynasty.

In terms of resources, I am even superior!

Thus.

Even if Li Taibai's Wu Gong is somewhat peculiar.

He still had full confidence in himself!

Of course.

The reason he could reach such a conclusion.

Was mainly because he knew nothing of the Qinglong Society, and even less of Ximen Wudi, that cheat!

Otherwise,

Even if they killed him, he would never say such a thing!

Wu Zetian nodded thoughtfully.

Then she shifted the topic and asked again.

"How is the Mingyu Gong matter progressing?"

"All the Bu Liang Ren I sent have lost contact; they've likely met their end."

Yuan Tiangang let out a bitter laugh.

He knew full well the strength of the men he'd dispatched.

Even just Yao Yue and Lian Xing—let alone killing them, merely surviving would be a miracle.

And yet this is the outcome.

It made him consider one possibility!

Perhaps the Qinglong Society has intervened!

Or even if the Qinglong Society didn't interfere, Master Hua Xi, as the former Mistress of Yihua Palace, must have acted!

Otherwise, this situation is utterly impossible!

"Forget it. Don't send anyone else."

"Have the Bu Liang Ren contact the Qinglong Society and say I wish to make a deal with them."

"If I can obtain the Mingyu Gong, I am willing to offer two thousand-year spiritual herbs!"

Wu Zetian, who had also arrived at this conclusion,

Paused for two breaths, waved her hand, and ordered.

Two thousand-year spiritual herbs?!

Yuan Tiangang's eyelid twitched.

He sucked in a sharp breath.

He was speechless at Wu Zetian's extravagance.

But he understood.

No woman could resist the temptation of eternal youth!

So though stunned inside, he kept his face expressionless and replied.

Great Song, Imperial Palace.

"Huh~ I never imagined that even just one Li Taibai could possess such terrifying strength."

"I can't even imagine how extraordinary the entire Qinglong Society must be!"

Zhao Ji exhaled deeply.

Shock still lingered on his face.

He hadn't expected.

In just three hours.

The Qinglong Society had silently slaughtered half the Men Sects of Great Ming.

Among them, there were even top-tier powers like Yunzhou Shaolin!

If not for the reliability of the source.

He would have thought someone was pulling his leg!

Besides that.

Li Taibai's terror and strangeness also left him somewhat horrified!

Before this.

His impression of Li Taibai was mostly that of literary brilliance.

Even though he was famed as the trinity of poetry, wine, and sword.

But looking at it now.

His own vision had still been too narrow.

After this battle.

It probably wouldn't be long.

The title of Sword Immortal Li Taibai would resound throughout the entire Nine Provinces continent!

The same thing was happening in the Great Qing, the Great Han, and the many small nations of the Nine Provinces.

Apart from some dying old monsters and martial artists who had yet to receive the news, whose attention was still on the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

Every major dynasty and many small nations had set their sights on the Qinglong Society.

And the original twelfth-ranked powerhouse on the Nine Provinces combat power ceiling list.

Si Hanfei, like the National Master Ba Shiba, had been cast out of their minds.

This had to be said — it was truly somewhat ironic!

Qinglong Peak, Qinglong Shanzhuang.

"Dao-Comprehension Pill? It seems the Great Yuan Dynasty won't be peaceful for some time to come."

Gazing at the Heavenly Dao reward displayed on the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

Ximen Wudi chuckled lightly.

A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.

As the Grand Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, he understood well.

The Nine Provinces continent still had no small number of powerhouses.
