Chapter 753

If this news were to spread, the entire world would likely be in an uproar.

"Your Majesty is a person of ten thousand gold; how can you personally travel to the Great Ming? I beg Your Majesty to reconsider."

Zhao Gao immediately began to dissuade him.

"That is correct. Currently, the Great Qin territory is beset by crises on all sides; we need Your Majesty to hold the fort and stabilize the hearts of the people."

"If Your Majesty goes to the Great Ming at this time, would that not be giving those who seek to cause chaos an opportunity to exploit?"

Li Si also followed suit in dissuading him.

"My mind is made up. You need not persuade me further."

"As for those petty scoundrels, even if I leave the Great Qin, do you think they could harm me?"

"Regarding the specific details of the Azure Dragon Project, the six fragments of the Heavenly Emperor's Sword, and so on, I must receive intelligence on them at the first opportunity."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

The few people present were all shrewd individuals and immediately understood the deep meaning behind Ying Zheng's words.

What Ying Zheng cared about most was clearly not the truth behind the Azure Dragon Project, but those six fragments of the Heavenly Emperor's Sword.

After all, the memorial Prince Fusu had sent back was very clear.

If anyone could collect all six fragments, they could recreate the Heavenly Emperor's Sword of that year and inherit the mandate of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor.

This was an attraction that no emperor could refuse.

Thinking this, the few of them no longer had the heart to remonstrate.

Li Si asked more directly: "I wonder when Your Majesty intends to set off?"

"We set off immediately."

"For this trip to Seven Heroes Town in the Great Ming, having Gai Nie and the Shadow Secret Guard accompany me will suffice."

"As for matters within the country, you shall have full authority to decide, with Zhao Gao assisting from the side."

"I hope that by the day I return, you will have dealt with those on the Famous Sword Ranking properly."

Ying Zheng said with majesty.

Li Si and Zhao Gao both felt a chill in their hearts and bowed in unison: "As you command."

Gai Nie, however, revealed a look of anticipation.

Prince Fusu's memorial stated that this Mr. Su seemed to be a legendary Martial Saint powerhouse with sword techniques at the level of a Land Sword Immortal.

This made him extremely curious.

At the same time.

Great Tang Empire, Hidden Armory Valley.

A demonic-looking man dressed in black, with powder on his face and painted eyebrows, walked step by step into the depths of the valley.

One could see a stone platform at the deepest part of the valley.

A figure sat quietly cross-legged on the stone platform, wearing a ferocious mask on their face, making it impossible for one to see their features clearly.

"Shangguan Yunque pays respects to the Grand Marshal."

The demonic-looking man stood still before the stone platform and spoke in an effeminate tone.

This was none other than the Heavenly Clever Star Captain among the thirty-six captains of the Unsavory Ones.

And the person on that stone platform was the Great Tang's Unsavory Marshal, Yuan Tiangang.

"How have you fared with the matters the Marshal asked you to investigate?"

On the stone platform, Yuan Tiangang said in a hoarse voice.

"Reporting to the Grand Marshal."

"That Su Chen's miscellaneous talks have already spread throughout the Great Tang."

"Now everyone knows that the Grand Marshal is an old monster who has lived for three hundred years—oh no, an old-generation powerhouse."

"His Majesty's side has already ordered the Phoenix Luan Guard to search everywhere for the Grand Marshal, but they shouldn't be able to find their way here in the short term."

"As for that Li Xingyun, his whereabouts have also been found; he is currently at the Tongfu Inn in Seven Heroes Town of the Great Ming."

"It is said that besides him and Lu Linxuan, there is another man traveling with them, suspected to be the young master of the Tongwen Pavilion, Zhang Zifan."

Shangguan Yunque held up his orchid-shaped fingers and reported everything in detail.

Yuan Tiangang revealed a look of contemplation, then sneered: "Li Xingyun went to Tongfu Inn? He certainly knows how to pick a place."

"Grand Marshal, it is said that Mr. Su is a true powerhouse of the Transcending the Mundane and Entering the Saint Realm. With Li Xingyun there, I fear it will not be easy for us to take action."

Shangguan Yunque said with some worry.

"No matter, the Marshal has long been prepared."

Yuan Tiangang said indifferently, then spoke toward a corner of the valley: "Shi Yao, it is time for you to make an appearance."

As his voice fell.

A tall, stunningly beautiful woman walked out step by step.

One could see her beautiful eyes shifting, radiating an unfathomable aura that seemed to vaguely harmonize with heaven and earth.

This was none other than Shi Yao, who had once disguised herself as Mother Meng of the Xuanming Sect.

Before the Great Tang Rouge Ranking was announced, Shi Yao had sensed the danger of being exposed, so she had used an excuse to escape.

Sure enough, she had been exposed by the Great Tang Rouge Ranking.

Later, she had restored her true identity and remained by Yuan Tiangang's side to take orders.

"Does the Grand Marshal have matters to instruct?"

Shi Yao asked coldly.

Yuan Tiangang nodded and said in a deep voice: "You and Shangguan Yunque shall set off immediately for the Tongfu Inn in the Great Ming and present this item to Li Xingyun in public."

Saying this, he raised his hand and waved, and a long black box flew out.

Shangguan Yunque flew to catch it, opened the box slightly, and his eyes widened abruptly.

"This is the Dragon Spring Sword? Wasn't this sword snatched away by the Emperor of the Xuanming Sect?"

Shangguan Yunque said with extreme surprise.

"Hehe, that was naturally stolen back by me again."

Another figure appeared; it was the Thief Saint of the Xuanming Sect, Wen Tao.

Only, rarely did anyone know he had another identity—that of the Heavenly Agile Star Captain of the Unsavory Ones.

"As expected of Brother Wen."

Shangguan Yunque nodded; since it was Wen Tao who had taken action, he had no more doubts.

In this world, there was nothing Wen Tao wanted to steal that he could not steal.

Shi Yao frowned and said: "Grand Marshal, this Dragon Spring Sword is of great importance. Do you really intend to give it to Li Xingyun in public?"

"That is correct."

"Doesn't that Li Xingyun want to avoid the world?"

"The Marshal intends to roast him on the fire and see how he decides."

Yuan Tiangang said steadily.

The few of them said no more and left to carry out their orders.

Great Han Jianghu.

In a desolate place rarely visited by humans, this area is covered by ten thousand fathoms of glaciers.

Yet no one could have imagined that beneath this glacier lies a hidden world, which is precisely the base of the Tianmen organization.

At this moment, within the Immovable Human Realm of Tianmen.

The Divine Mother Luo Xian sits in the main seat, holding a letter in her hand and reading it carefully.

"With my appearance, am I actually only ranked in the second tier of the Rouge List?"

"Search God Palace, I never imagined that the Great Han Jianghu still had such a mysterious force."

Luo Xian mutters to herself, a flash of astonishment crossing her eyes.

She has been in charge of the Immovable Human Realm of Tianmen for many years, and her influence has long since permeated the major sects.

Yet she knew nothing of the existence of the Search God Palace.

This cannot help but make her extremely vigilant.

Judging solely from the content of this miscellaneous talk, the mystery and power of the Search God Palace are absolutely not beneath those of Tianmen.

"Could it be that in this world, there still exists a second person as strong as the Sect Master?"
