Chapter 952

Mid Heavenly Being Realm!

Thirty-fifth on the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking!

Able to force back a group of Bosiming Sect experts, as well as Han Xiaozhao.

This Qiuran Ke's strength must have already reached the Supreme Mythical Realm!

If that's the case, Li Jing's strength is probably about the same.

"After saving the blind man, the blind man not only failed to feel grateful for the three's life-saving grace.

Instead, holding a jet-black single saber, he shouted at them to get lost.

Li Weigong thought this blind man had been besieged by the Bosiming Sect and was occasionally out of his senses, so he paid it no mind.

Instead, the Red Whisk Woman was so angered that she decided to teach the blind man a lesson.

After a few moves, the blind man, having no choice, unleashed two extraordinary arts: the Seven Injuries Fist and the Lion's Roar.

At this, Li Weigong immediately knew that this person was none other than the Golden-haired Lion King Xie Xun, who had disappeared in the Nine Provinces all those years ago!"

Seeing Di Renjie continued.

"Xie Xun? The Dragon-Slaying Saber!"

Wu Zhao finally understood—so the connection Seeing Di Renjie spoke of was that the Great Tang had inadvertently found the Dragon-Slaying Saber?

Originally, the secret of Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying was merely a small secret within the Great Ming's jianghu.

Placed within the entire Nine Provinces, it was truly insignificant.

Who would have thought that this time the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking would bestow an immortal-grade Heaven Sword, and also reveal that Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying held another great secret.

For the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking to say so, this secret's origins could not be small.

In an instant, Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying became an extraordinary great secret.

It's just that the Heaven Sword is in Zhou Zhiruo's hands, and her own cultivation is naturally not low.

Furthermore, the Great Ming belongs to the Qinglong Society, so for the time being, anyone without sufficient standing would not dare to scheme for the Heaven Sword.

Not to mention that after Xie Xun disappeared, Zhang Cuishan would rather die than reveal his whereabouts.

It can be said that the Dragon-Slaying Saber has already become very difficult to appear in the world.

Who would have thought that Li Weigong and Li Jing, who were overseas, had suddenly found the Dragon-Slaying Saber and Xie Xun.

Isn't this a case of planting willows unintentionally and finding shade?

"Exactly!"

Seeing Di Renjie's face also showed delight, and he said,

"After learning Xie Xun's identity, Li Weigong used secret techniques to transmit the message to me.

Only then did I know that Li Weigong, until today, is still alive."

It turned out that because the matter of the Dragon-Slaying Saber was of great importance, Li Jing had no time to return to the Nine Provinces, so he transmitted the message back.

"Seal off the Bright Hall!"

Wu Zhao reacted at once.

"Yes!"

The Qian Niu Wei Left and Right Guard Commanders immediately reacted, leading the Qian Niu Wei to surround the Bright Hall layer upon layer, airtight.

"Di Qing! This Dragon-Slaying Saber is indeed too important. The personnel within this Bright Hall must be screened one by one."

Wu Zhao did not care at all, and said directly to Seeing Di Renjie,

"The news that the Great Tang has found the Dragon-Slaying Saber must not be leaked in the slightest."

"I obey your decree."

In fact, even without Wu Zhao saying so, Seeing Di Renjie would not have let this news leak out.

Moreover, within this Bright Hall's great hall, all present were high officials of the Great Tang's decision-making level; logically, no traitors should appear.

"Since we already have the Dragon-Slaying Saber in hand, the Heaven Sword absolutely cannot be let slip either."

Although Wu Zhao was not truly the Great Tang's empress, at this moment she was, after all, sitting in this position.

To avoid arousing suspicion among the Great Tang's ministers, and even more to uphold the mysterious mandate of the Great Tang's empress, she naturally performed with great effort.

Sitting on the dragon throne in this Bright Hall, she unconsciously immersed herself in the identity of the Great Tang's empress.

One moment learning the Dragon-Slaying Saber was in hand, the next moment she began plotting for the Heaven Sword.

"I also feel the Heaven Sword brooks no delay."

Seeing Di Renjie nodded in agreement, but then sighed and said,

"But currently, our Great Tang's manpower and resources are all tied up by this Qinglong Society mission.

The Xuanxin Sect Master returned empty-handed; the Heavenly Demon Pavilion Master has yet to return to this day.

With this Qinglong Society mission unfinished, we truly cannot spare the energy to go find that Zhou Zhiruo."

So this was where Seeing Di Renjie's headache lay.

The Great Tang had no shortage of experts, led by the Heavenly Demon Cang Ju and the Xuanxin Sect Master Jin Guang.

Beneath them were the Four Grand Zombie Ancestors, Celestial Master Sun En, Yan Kuangtu, and others, as well as a group of experts from the Xuanxinzheng Sect.

It could be said that experts were as numerous as clouds.

But the Qinglong Society mission—if not completed, one must die.

To complete this mission, the Great Tang had already deployed its highest combat power: the Heavenly Demon Cang Ju and the Xuanxin Sect Master.

Who would have thought Jin Guang went to another world and returned empty-handed, only saying he could not find the Monk King Wang Faming.

The Heavenly Demon Cang Ju had been gone even longer, and to this day had still not returned.

Seeing Di Renjie, as one of the central decision-making leaders, watched time constantly slipping away, and felt considerable anxiety in his heart.

Coincidentally at this time, the secret of Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying appeared once again.

For a moment, the Tang Dynasty's experts actually felt somewhat stretched thin.

Wu Zhao, upon hearing these words, could not help but knit her brows.

In fact, as Fa Ming's senior sister, she naturally understood Fa Ming well.

If she were willing to completely betray Fa Ming, it would naturally speed up the Tang Dynasty's completion of this mission.

But after all, she was not truly the Tang Dynasty's Empress, but rather the Empress of Wu Zhou.

How could she truly be willing to erase one of Wu Zhou's most outstanding experts for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's Qinglong Society mission?

"Your Majesty the Empress, Di Ge Lao, please do not worry."

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the Bright Hall.

The crowd looked and saw it was none other than the Sky Demon Cang Xu, who had not appeared for a long time.

"Sky Demon, you've returned?"

When Wu Zhao saw Mr. Cang Xu, a fierce, ruthless glint flashed through her eyes for an instant.

In truth, since Sky Demon Cang Xu had not returned for a long time, Wu Zhao had always suspected he had already made contact with Wu Zetian.

Therefore she was also pondering: if Cang Xu's return truly exposed her identity,

then for the sake of her grand plan, she would have to suppress this person no matter what.

At this moment her face showed no emotion, but deep within she had already made preparations.

She even secretly transmitted her voice to Zhang Wuxia, Sun En, and others.

The moment she made her move, they would strike together, determined to give Cang Xu no chance to defend himself.

Cang Xu was originally a person of keen and shrewd mind, and had moreover received pointers from Wu Zetian.

He naturally knew that if he were to rashly expose Wu Zhao's identity the moment he returned,

setting aside how many people in this Bright Hall would believe him,

he himself had no proof to show that this Wu Zhao was not the Tang Dynasty's Empress.

Fortunately, Wu Zetian had received pointers from the Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi and had long since made up her mind.

At present, Cang Xu secretly laughed within, and on his face slightly bowed in salute, saying,

"Cang Xu pays his respects to Your Majesty the Empress; may our Sovereign live ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand ten thousand years."

Normally when Cang Xu had an audience, he would salute in this same manner.

Wu Zhao, seeing that he had not exposed her identity, felt puzzled.

She also thought perhaps Cang Xu had not met Wu Zetian because he was busy pursuing Fa Ming.

At present she relaxed slightly, and with a smiling face spoke up, saying,
