Chapter 79

But he clearly understood its value in the Nine Provinces!

To put it bluntly.

Merely by virtue of this pill.

The entire Nine Provinces martial world would surely be plunged into a bloody storm and catastrophic slaughter!

The number of martial artists who perished because of it was countless!

Of course.

For him and for the Qinglong Society, this was a rather good piece of news.

Especially since the Life-Extending Pill appeared in Han, which was on the verge of collapse!

It could be foreseen.

The fall of Han might come even earlier than expected!

At this thought.

Ximen Wudi retracted his distant gaze and spoke calmly.

"How is the situation in the Nine Provinces?"

Shuāi!

The moment he spoke.

A black shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

"Report, Great Dragon Chief."

"Qin Huang Ying Zheng is consolidating the Qin forces; more than half of the remnants of the Six States and anti-Qin factions have been eradicated."

"The Great Yuan Empire remains relatively calm, aside from the recent Enlightenment Pill incident."

"Due to your order to accelerate the pace, Han is now in a state of warlord fragmentation; recent reports indicate that the eighteen warlords have begun forming an alliance to overthrow Dong Zhuo."

"Under Emperor Yang Guang's instigation, the Great Sui Empire is already seething with hidden currents, a storm brewing; additionally, the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian has returned to the Demon Cult and now commands the Two Sects and Six Paths."

"Pudu Cihang has allied with Cihang Jingzhai and invited the Daoist Ning Daoqi and the Heavenly Blade Song Que as allies; the four great clans are likewise stirring restlessly."

"In the Great Tang Empire, following the recent Fire Lingzhi incident, the Li Tang bloodline has drawn the attention of three factions, suspected of disloyalty—though they still do not know this person is a deliberate move by the Empress Wu Zetian."

"In the Great Ming Empire, due to the Seventh Dragon Chief's joining our Qinglong Society, Zhu Wushi has secretly accelerated his pace; the situation has grown turbulent and unpredictable, with chaos imminent."

"As for the Great Song Empire and the Great Qing Empire, they remain currently calm."

Listening silently to the report.

Ximen Wudi's expression remained composed, unruffled.

Only when he heard of Pudu Cihang and Song Que did a flicker of mockery pass through his eyes.

Speaking of which.

Pudu Cihang still pretends to be choosing the emperor on heaven's behalf.

But if you look closely.

In truth, it is nothing but a martial world brothel.

If they can win, they fight; if they cannot, they send women—calling it "feeding themselves to demons" as if it were noble!

Most importantly,

They are all nuns.

Yet none of them devote themselves to vegetarian meals and sutra recitation, studying Buddhist doctrine.

Instead, they have perfected the art of tea!

This one point.

Is evident from how Ning Daoqi and Song Que, these two lapdogs, are summoned and dismissed at will.

"Additionally, Tang Huang Wu Zetian and Sui Huang Yang Guang wish to cooperate with you."

"Shall I go and refuse them?"

As if recalling something.

The black-robed man added further.

Upon hearing this,

Ximen Wudi sneered and shook his head slightly.

"Ignore them."

"After you leave, spread the rumor that the Yang Gong Treasury lies in Changancheng, and the Longsheng Jue—one of the Four Great Marvels—is the key to unlocking its mechanism."

Since Great Sui only needs a spark to ignite chaos,

He had no objection to helping light the fire.

The latter nodded and vanished silently.

However,

Not long after his departure,

Nine figures suddenly entered Ximen Wudi's field of vision.

Among them, the two leading figures were none other than Fifth Dragon Chief Li Canghai and Fifth Dragon Chief Li Taibai.

Behind them,

Stood side by side seven women, each of exquisite bearing and unique beauty.

As for their identities,

A single glance was enough for Ximen Wudi to recognize them.

Wang Yuyan, Sister Azhu, Bi, Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, Li Qinglu, Master Xiaomeng.

His lips twitched violently twice.

At this very moment.

In Ximen Wudi's heart, there was nothing but silence, and more silence.

If not for his years of mental cultivation,

he would have already lost control and unleashed a barrage of curses!

Li Canghai was one thing.

Even though she gave three and got three free,

given her usual pathological adoration (sycophantic) demeanor,

it could be understood.

But what the hell was this with Li Taibai?

Every time he went out, he came back dragging a beautiful woman along.

Anyone who didn't know would think the mighty Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society was desperately starved for affection!

Although he didn't care about his reputation,

still, was this really necessary?!

Most importantly,

which official could withstand such a test?!!

What he didn't know was,

the instant he saw Li Canghai,

Li Taibai, who had just been feeling smug, also blinked hard.

Even with his Heavenly Immortal cultivation, he nearly stumbled and face-planted.

His heart couldn't help but mutter to itself.

Holy shit!

Brutal!

Too brutal!

This woman is terrifying!!

He silently sighed twice.

As if sensing the atmosphere had turned awkward,

Li Taibai let out two forced laughs and broke the silence first.

"Uh, this is my Laozi's Dao De Jing. If there's nothing else, I'll be off."

Saying this,

he pulled out Laozi's Dao De Jing.
