Chapter 653

This guy is really single-minded.

If Temujin truly couldn't tolerate him and Tie Muzhen, could you, Chilaowen, have walked out of the imperial court?

Temujin could only laugh bitterly—he had worn the hat, forgiven him, and even given away his deepest love.

Who would have thought this so-called sworn brother could be so cold-hearted?

"Khan! We can set this matter aside for now."

"Instead, Zhamuhe's whereabouts may have been found."

Boyan suddenly spoke up.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Temujin and Yelu Chu both looked utterly baffled.

Zhamuhe, in fact, also "betrayed" Temujin.

If he could, Temujin would have killed him outright.

But that would be such a waste!

Temujin had long decided: capture Qiu Lingsu, use her, and make Zhamuhe work like a beast of burden, laboring for him.

But after the affair in Jin Ling of Great Ming, Zhamuhe and Qiu Lingsu vanished without a trace.

Yuan's spies were sent out in countless numbers, yet no one found where they had gone.

Then again, it made sense—Zhamuhe was a master on the Heavenly Dao Golden List, and known as the Poison King.

Ordinary spies, even if they found him, would likely be poisoned into becoming his puppets, wouldn't they?

"Khan! Actually, Shui Lingguang was once one of our Yuan people…"

Boyan's words were shocking.

The Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List's entry on Shui Lingguang was extremely brief.

All that was known was that Shui Lingguang's father was the Night Emperor of Great Ming.

Her master was the Nine Sons' Ghost Mother.

As for other details, there truly wasn't much.

How then did Boyan know Shui Lingguang was from Yuan?

"I previously led the search for Zhamuhe's whereabouts, and all my focus was on him."

Later, I thought: since he is so obsessed with this wretched Qiu Lingsu, why not start from her?

Indeed, based on Qiu Lingsu's records, I discovered that as a child, she had been close friends with a woman.

Not only were they deeply bonded, they even swore sisterhood.

And that woman was Shui Lingguang!

Therefore, I deduce that if Zhamuhe and Qiu Lingsu's relationship is dominated by Qiu Lingsu,

then across the vast world, they could only have joined the Qinglong Society.

And Shui Lingguang, Qiu Lingsu's closest friend, is the perfect bridge for introduction."

Upon hearing Boyan's words, everyone was stunned.

If the Thirteen Wings, whom Yuan had poured immense effort into cultivating, defected to the Qinglong Society under Qiu Lingsu's guidance,

the blow to Yuan would be immense.

"How could this wretched woman do this! Yelu Chu, send men immediately to Great Ming, infiltrate Shui Lingguang's side.

I need to know whether Qiu Lingsu and Zhamuhe truly have the audacity to defect to the Qinglong Society."

Temujin spoke through gritted teeth.

If Zhamuhe not only wounded Prince Tuo Lei but also intends to join the Qinglong Society,

then Temujin will no longer care for brotherly bonds—he will kill Qiu Lingsu and bring Zhamuhe back.

Then strip him of his Thirteen Wings power, and torture him to death!

But he could not say these words now.

"I understand!"

Yelu Chu also grasped the gravity of the situation and immediately agreed.

Then he remembered something and added,

"Chilaowen is close to Zhamuhe—he probably went looking for him too…"

Whoosh!

The hall erupted in uproar!

If two Thirteen Wings defected to the Qinglong Society, Yuan's face would be utterly lost.

"Postpone the plan to secure Youzhou and establish contact with the Yin Yue Imperial Court."

Order Long Xiang, General Zhebie, and Mu Huali, along with the Imperial Advisors, to immediately proceed to Great Ming's Xuedaqi Sect.

If you see Chilaowen, Zhamuhe, or Qiu Lingsu, capture them at all costs."

Temujin recognized the severity of the situation and deployed Yuan's strongest force.

"Khan! If we do this, won't Yuan be left defenseless?"

At that moment, Zi Yi Jing Wang suddenly appeared in the hall.

He had volunteered to fetch the Immortal of Eternal Life from the Search God Palace for Yuan.

Only today did he suddenly return.

"Huh? Jing Wang has returned? What a joy!"

Temujin, seeing Zi Yi Jing Wang, immediately beamed, descending the steps to greet him.

"I have missed you deeply, Jing Wang, during your absence!"

Yelu Chu, quickly prepare a fine feast—this Khan wishes to welcome the Robed King and wash away his dust.

Seeing the Robed King return, Tie Muzhen did not ask how his mission had gone, but instead adopted the demeanor of a ruler who honors the virtuous.

Even though the Robed King, seasoned in worldly affairs, knew this was merely the emperor's tactic,

he was still deeply moved, immediately bowed, and said,

"There's plenty of time for welcoming drinks! Great Khan, let me introduce someone to you."

As he spoke, a figure appeared beside him.

The man's face was identical to Watching Bu Jingyun's, but he was completely bald, dressed as a Monk.

"This is Master Changsheng. He was once known as the Immortal God of Longevity, but now he has taken refuge in the Fomen."

It turned out this man was none other than the Immortal God of Longevity, whose body had been destroyed and who had been dragged into the Eighteen Levels of Hell—yet had returned again!

Now his body was as young as Watching Bu Jingyun's, yet he had entered the Fomen and taken the title Master Changsheng.

Who among the great ones could have taken him in?

"So this is Master Changsheng!"

In the world, who did not know the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, given how astonishing the Six Demons' Crossing had been?

In contrast, the Immortal God of Longevity, though not yet listed among the top, was known to all major powers.

Tie Muzhen's Great Yuan was certainly one of those major powers.

Upon hearing the Robed King say this, he immediately understood the Immortal God of Longevity's intent.

He burst into ecstatic joy and declared outright,

"Since Master Changsheng is willing to join my Great Yuan, from today onward, Master Changsheng shall be Left State Advisor, and the Robed King shall be Right State Advisor!"

The Great Yuan honors the left above all!

Previously, Tie Muzhen had promised the Robed King the title of State Advisor.

Now that the Immortal God of Longevity had come to join, he naturally did not wish to slight him.

So he simply appointed two State Advisors—one left, one right.

The Immortal God of Longevity's strength far surpassed that of the Robed King!

At the battle on Divine Dragon Island, he had held his own against the Xiao brothers and Di Shitian, three supreme masters, using the Divine Stone.

Though the Divine Stone's power played the main role, it still showed his strength was not insignificant.

The Robed King, having recruited the Immortal God of Longevity, had long known that upon his arrival in the Great Yuan, his status would rise above his own.

Yet hearing Tie Muzhen keep his word and still grant him the title of State Advisor, he could not help but be moved.

Though he was now the Right State Advisor, beneath the Left State Advisor, the Immortal God of Longevity, he was still a State Advisor—after all!
