Chapter 85

It was a complete look of disdain—toward him, and toward the Great Sui!

This made Yang Guang, who had always thought highly of himself, even considered himself a man of grand vision and bold strategy, feel as wretched as if he'd just swallowed a plate of dead flies!

Even more so.

If not for the fact that the Great Sui was currently swaying in the wind and rain.

He would have wanted to issue a direct order to target the Qinglong Society!

To teach them a lesson!!

Just at this moment.

A flurry of hurried footsteps drew closer from afar.

"What is it?"

Yang Guang's face darkened as he spoke, a hint of impatience in his tone.

A fire had long been smoldering in his heart.

Now he was interrupted without warning.

Naturally, a trace of anger crept into his voice.

The newcomer heard this and his heart skipped a beat.

He knew he had walked straight into the line of fire.

His body stiffened slightly as he half-knelt on the ground.

Summoning his courage, he reported.

"Y-Your Majesty, numerous experts from the Luo Net and Black Ice Platform have appeared across the Great Sui."

"It looks as though they're preparing to cause trouble within our Great Sui!"

The words had barely left his mouth, his voice not yet faded.

When the temperature inside the hall suddenly dropped considerably.

The atmosphere grew heavy along with it.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

"Didn't they say the mission failed and they all took poison and killed themselves?!"

"Why? Why was the Great Qin still able to find out?!"

Yang Guang roared his question.

His pupils were filled with cold intent!

He knew.

This was Qin Huang having discovered his little scheme and venting his displeasure.

"This subordinate deserves death ten thousand times over! Please, Your Majesty, grant me pardon!"

Without the slightest hesitation or attempt to defend himself.

The newcomer dropped to both knees and bowed his head.

As he spoke, his tone was visibly uneasy.

Afraid that Yang Guang might lose his temper and have him beheaded on the spot.

"You lot truly deserve to die!"

"Not only couldn't you snatch the Five Thousand Words of Morality, but my identity got exposed too!"

"I sent you to grab the Fire Spirit Mushroom, and you came back empty-handed as well."

"Tell me, what on earth are you good for?!"

"Every year I spend so much real gold, silver, and resources, only to raise a bunch of useless trash like you?!"

Yang Guang let out a roar.

His chest heaved.

In his eyes flickered a thick, cold intent!

057 — Wu Zetian Annoyed, Zhu Wushi Can No Longer Sit Still! (Subscribe, please!)

Great Tang, Changancheng.

"Could this fellow have reached that step?"

Wu Zetian's willow-leaf brows knit slightly as she murmured softly.

Her tone carried a faint note of disbelief.

But beyond that.

She truly could not imagine.

Apart from the legendary Shattered Realm, what other means could possibly produce such an effect!

One must understand.

This was a late-stage Heavenly Being Realm existence!

Not some common cabbage!

Even more so.

Let alone the Heavenly Being Realm!

Across the Nine Provinces continent, the ability to produce an Earth Immortal—or even a lower-tier Peerless Realm cultivator through the resonance of the Dao—remained utterly unheard of to this day!

From this, one could see just how exaggerated, just how terrifying Ximen Wudi's feat truly was!

In other words.

Although Ximen Wudi rarely showed his face across the Nine Provinces continent.

Legends about him, however, could be found everywhere throughout the Nine Provinces.

Just this one point alone could hardly be called anything less than exaggerated!

"But this fellow still hasn't replied to me—what does that mean?"

"Does he look down on me?!"

Thinking of how she had sent people to seek a trade with him, yet to this day there had been no word at all.

A surge of irritation welled up in Wu Zetian's heart.

She gave a cold snort, and instead of giving up the idea of a trade, her resolve only hardened by a few degrees!

Judging by the look of it.

It seemed she would not rest until her goal was achieved!

…………

The Great Yuan, Imperial City.

"No wonder he dared to be so brazen—turns out he had something to rely on."

Thinking of the Qinglong Society's series of moves before this.

A hint of emotion crossed Tie Muzhen's face.

A flash of relief even passed through his heart.

Fortunately, he had listened to the National Advisor and had not gone looking for trouble with the other party right away.

Otherwise.

Setting aside the Qinglong Society's Grand Dragon Head, even his subordinates alone would probably have been enough to inflict grievous damage on the Great Yuan's vital energy.

By this point.

He could no longer believe that Ximen Wudi possessed such ability and was still hiding his strength from his own subordinates!

Therefore, the Qinglong Society's high-level combat power alone.

After today, would have to be forcibly elevated by several tiers!

At this thought.

Tie Muzhen could not help but let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh~ That fellow Hearing Ying Zheng sure got off easy."

"If this Khan could have cooperated with the Qinglong Society, wouldn't the Longevity Pills Xunzi obtained have been a cinch?"

Saying so.

Between the lines, a trace of regret could not help but seep through.

He knew.

Given Qin Huang Hearing Ying Zheng's methods.
