Chapter 357: Chapter 354 Threat
“Sigh…” Chu Zhiyuan let out a breath: “Then strive to beco a Great Grandmaster.”
Zou Fang bowed and said: “Yes, my lord, I will do my utmost to reach Great Grandmaster.”
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered: “How did Manager Huang achieve Great Grandmaster status?”
“Manager Huang had a mysterious encounter,” Zou Fang replied.
“A mysterious encounter…” Chu Zhiyuan mused.
This ans that without such encounters, those of us practicing the Lifeless Scripture cannot step into Great Grandmaster.
Based on my current understanding, a Grandmaster requires a balance of the Five Elents, perhaps a Great Grandmaster needs full Essence Qi, spirit, and energy.
The eunuch has a fatal weakness—an incomplete body, which ans lack of essence.
How can this lack of essence be compensated?
Seeing that Huang Cheng hasn’t regenerated any limbs and is still a eunuch, it proves that it isn’t necessary to regenerate progeny roots.
If regenerating progeny roots isn’t required to achieve essence completion, is there a secret technique or a rare treasure?
Or maybe consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?
“I will keep an eye out,” Chu Zhiyuan said, “to see if there’s a way to help you reach Great Grandmaster.”
“Thank you, Princely Heir,” Zou Fang said.
Chu Zhiyuan said: “There must be a way.”
Since childhood, Zou Fang has always been by his side, accustod to his presence.
To die at just eighty, how truly unfortunate.
If I can uncover the secrets of a Grandmaster, I will surely unlock the mysteries of a Great Grandmaster in the future.
He suddenly looked up at the Bright Moon Pavilion.
The Bright Moon Pavilion was brightly lit, standing proudly in the night sky, with leisurely music drifting amidst the clamor.
Guo Chi said: “Princely Heir, should we go upstairs to eat?”
“… Let’s go,” Chu Zhiyuan pondered for a mont, then turned and entered the Bright Moon Pavilion.
Guo Chi hurriedly sent a guard from the periphery to notify the Prince Mansion, that they wouldn’t return for dinner.
Chu Zhiyuan ascended to the third floor, arriving outside the private room guarded by six Stepping Cloud Iron Cavalry, and called out: “Your Highness, we et again.”
Li Hongzhao’s voice drifted from inside the room: “There’s no reason for us to et.”
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: “Is that a guilty conscience? Afraid to see ?”
“Bang!” The door was abruptly pulled open, Li Hongzhao stood inside, her beautiful face carrying a cold smile.
She was dressed in red robes like flas, making her skin appear even fairer, her beauty overwhelming, dazzling to the eye.
“What do I have to be guilty about?!” Li Hongzhao slanted a glance at him, sneering: “Don’t falsely accuse people!”
Chu Zhiyuan said: “Should I say out loud what Your Highness has done?”
He spoke while stepping inside.
Li Hongzhao turned and walked back, leaning against the window as she sat by the table, glaring coldly at him.
Chu Zhiyuan sat opposite her.
Li Hongzhao’s maid quickly offered a wine cup, then retreated from the room.
Zou Fang also withdrew.
Only Chu Zhiyuan and Li Hongzhao remained inside.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: “Why isn’t Mr. Su here again?”
Li Hongzhao snorted: “Mr. Su has his own matters, there’s no need for you to worry.”
Chu Zhiyuan said: “It’s better to be careful, the Netherworld Secret Guard has already attacked , even the Divine Envoy has appeared. Unable to deal with , perhaps they might target you.”
“The Divine Envoy wouldn’t dare look for , … what do you an by what you just said?”
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: “Now, acting clueless is on you.”
“Acting clueless about what?”
“Broadcasting the Phoenix Camp affairs for the world to know, wasn’t it Your Highness?” Chu Zhiyuan snorted.
Li Hongzhao sneered: “Why would I broadcast it for you? To promote your prestige? I’m not that foolish.”
Chu Zhiyuan said: “Whether it’s foolish or not isn’t clear, forcing the Da Lie Emperor to act recklessly, sending the Netherworld Secret Guard to assassinate , isn’t this your plan to kill with a borrowed knife?”
With his Super Sense, he could confirm that the one who spread this matter was Li Hongzhao.
Indeed, one move follows another.
“Nonsense!” Li Hongzhao said in annoyance: “How would I know whether the Da Lie Emperor would want to kill you or not?”
Chu Zhiyuan said: “Now, without Mr. Su by your side, tell , if I make a move, can I escape?”
“Dare you!” Li Hongzhao snorted: “If you kill , you won’t survive either!”
“I believe the Imperial Grandfather can protect ,” Chu Zhiyuan said.
Li Hongzhao sneered: “Even if the Da Jing Emperor can protect you, what about the other princes and Princely Heirs?”
“If the Da ng Emperor dares to do so, your Da ng Imperial Family will also face destruction. If he doesn’t want that, then he must restrain a bit.”
“Ridiculous!”
“It seems you’re not afraid.” Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
The killing intent surged within him, his aura gradually gathering, like a treasure sword about to be unsheathed.
Li Hongzhao imdiately narrowed her phoenix eyes, sneering: “Chu Zhiyuan, you’d better think it through!”
Her red robe gently swayed, as if the wind blew through the window, yet there was no wind tonight.
Like a phoenix slowly awakening in the fire, it stood in fierce opposition to Chu Zhiyuan’s montum.
The air seed to beco scorching hot.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: “Your Highness’s cultivation has improved again, congratulations.”
The last ti he saw her, she didn’t have such presence.
Her rate of progress was also very fast, just slightly less than his own.
Li Hongzhao said coldly: “I have you to thank.”
Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes gradually brightened, sword intent gathered, ready to strike at her.
Suddenly, his montum loosened, the sword intent swiftly dissipated, he shook his head and smiled: “How do you find my aura?”
Li Hongzhao still glared at him coldly, and also withdrew her boiling aura.
The air inside the room returned to its normal state, no longer scorching.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: “The Netherworld Secret Guard is a Divine Guard, Your Highness should know what this ans, right?”
“What?”
“The Da Lie Emperor has gone mad,” Chu Zhiyuan said: “Raising a Divine Guard and colluding with a Divine Envoy, what is that if not madness?”
“…However mad he might be, he’s not madder than you!” Li Hongzhao snorted: “You really wanted to kill just now, didn’t you?”
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: “It goes both ways, doesn’t Your Highness also want to kill ?”
“Humph.” Li Hongzhao didn’t want to lie.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: “Your Highness’s tricks are truly laughable, you’re pushing .”
“And what of it?” Li Hongzhao snorted.
Chu Zhiyuan said: “If Phoenix Camp pays a visit to your Da ng, can your Da ng withstand it?”
“By all ans!” Li Hongzhao disdained: “Da ng is not Da Lie.”
Chu Zhiyuan said: “Actually, it’s mostly the sa. They can still approach silently and kill without leaving a trace, escaping just the sa.”
“Heh… Heh… Heh… Heh…” Li Hongzhao laughed as her shoulders shook and her bust heaved: “Do you think we’re like Da Lie’s useless masses? … On the open plains, how do you approach silently?”
“A re thousand n, dismounting from a distance, sneaking closer under cover of night.”
“There’s a golden eagle patrolling the skies,” Li Hongzhao claid proudly.
Chu Zhiyuan said: “Wearing your Da ng armor.”
“…There are eagle shooters watching from afar; you cannot escape their eyes.”
“Wearing your Da ng armor.”
“You don’t understand flag languages; from a distance, you’d need to use flag language to send secret signals.”
“What’s difficult about flag language, what’s hard about secret signals? We’re not the only ones with spies in Da ng.”
“Secret signals change every night, how can you discover them?” Li Hongzhao scorned: “These tricks only work on Da Lie, not on us in Da ng!”
“…What about entering the city?” Chu Zhiyuan said: “Wearing Da ng armor, arriving outside the city, there can’t be different secret signals every day, can there?”
“…What use is it for such a few people to attack the city?”
Chu Zhiyuan said lightly: “Once inside the city, isn’t it up to us to take and plunder?… Using this thod, how many people could be killed?”
Li Hongzhao snorted: “Truly despicable!”
“It was Your Highness who was despicable first, who made the first move,” Chu Zhiyuan snorted: “Shouldn’t I retaliate? It’s only proper!”
Li Hongzhao gritted her teeth glaring at him, speaking through clenching white teeth: “What do you want?”
She had crossed swords with Chu Zhiyuan several tis, and had long figured out his tactics.
It was all about threats and intimidation, ultimately for so benefit.
“Twenty Phoenix Blood Pills,” Chu Zhiyuan said.
