"Heh heh!"
Zhan Tian grinned, then sat down beside him, lowering his voice, "How is it? How much longer until you fully recover?"
"It’ll take a while!"
"Congratulations, you’ve finally broken through, now those at the peak of the eighth layer must seem like trash to you, right?"
Facing his old friend’s congratulations, Zhan Tian also burst into laughter.
"That’s right, but you’re not; you’re my old buddy!"
"We’ve been teaming up for years to deal with those three old guys."
"And now we can say the tough tis are over! Hahaha..."
"You’ve got so thick skin!"
Liu Sheng cursed, but then he laughed as well.
To be honest, the two of them had been suppressed by the Three Dukes all these years, but as Zhan Tian said, even if they couldn’t do anything to the Three Dukes, at least they wouldn’t be kept down anymore.
When he fully recovers, if he can also break through... the situation might beco even more delicate.
Of course, whether he can break through or not, he’s not sure.
The chasm between the peak of the eighth layer and the ninth is truly despairing.
Chen Xuan watched the two old n with a smile in his eyes.
This is pure friendship between n.
In this Martial Arts World, it’s too hard to find!
"By the way, how did Your Majesty reward you?"
"Hmph!"
At this, Zhan Tian’s face instantly fell, and he even rolled his eyes, "A verbal reward counts?"
"Verbal?!"
Liu Sheng frowned. Since when did Emperor Yu beco so stingy?
"He said the Great Yu Kingdom’s treasury is tight right now, and the rest are common items—he’ll reward first when sothing good cos up."
Zhan Tian was brooding.
When did Great Yu beco so poor?
No good items? Do they take him for a fool?
In the Qin Emperor Sacred Land, who knows how many rare treasures are there, it’s not like they can’t take them out.
Hmph!
Seeing this, Liu Sheng also comforted him, "His Majesty is having a hard ti too. Over the years, the Ten Great Dangerous Lands have emptied out Great Yu’s treasury."
"As for the things inside the Qin Emperor Sacred Land, you can forget about them, that’s the foundation of the Qin Family!"
"Alright, stop worrying about these things."
"Focus on healing!"
"I’m not soone who cares about these things anyway."
Indeed, he has managed the Three Judicial Departnts for so many years, and the Great Yu Hundred Mansions are under his supervision. If he had any ambitions, becoming the wealthiest person in Great Yu wouldn’t be difficult.
It’s just that he’s soone who’s not interested in money!
But seeing Zhan Tian like this made Liu Sheng even more displeased; it seems unjust for Emperor Yu not to show any gesture after all the rits he has achieved.
"By the way, His Majesty didn’t kill Shi the Third or the person from the Tree-man Race, but instead, he locked both of them in the Celestial Prison."
"Not kill?"
Liu Sheng asked.
"He didn’t explicitly say, but from His Majesty’s tone, it seems he’s not planning to."
Zhan Tian’s words not only raised Liu Sheng’s eyebrows but even puzzled Chen Xuan on the side.
"Is His Majesty keeping them to study the two races?"
Chen Xuan tentatively asked.
Suddenly, Liu Sheng’s expression changed.
"What, did sothing occur to you?"
Seeing this, Zhan Tian imdiately asked.
"I don’t know if I’m right, but the Ritual Departnt once got an ancient book passed down from ancient tis, which said that the races in the Ten Great Dangerous Lands have intricate connections, but the specifics weren’t detailed."
"Could it be that His Majesty wants to find the weaknesses among the Ten Great Races?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Tian also started to recall, "Now that you ntion it, there seems to be so truth in it. The Three Judicial Departnts once received news that occasionally, corpses of the Ten Great Races were transported to the Imperial Palace from the dangerous lands."
"And it’s the Shadow Guard carrying all this out!"
"When was this? How co you never ntioned it?"
Liu Sheng was sowhat dissatisfied; such a significant matter was never relayed to him.
"Only once, discovered by chance, many years ago! At the ti, I didn’t pay it much mind."
"But from your speculation, perhaps His Majesty has been preparing for this for many years now."
Upon hearing the two n’s speculation, Chen Xuan imdiately recalled, "The Tree-man Race fears thunder!"
"And their recovery ability seems to be ineffective against thunder!"
"What?"
The two old n looked at him simultaneously, "Really?!"
"Elder Zhan, have you forgotten? At that ti, four bolts of thunder suddenly appeared in the sky—that was activating the array to conjure them. Afterward, it was discovered that when thunder strikes the Tree-man Race, their wounds couldn’t heal."
"Finally, an elder from the Tree-man Race used so ans to recover sowhat, but he couldn’t fully recover either!"
"Well!"
"I was wondering why four bolts of thunder appeared out of nowhere, turns out it was you, kid, striking !"
Getting struck by lightning out of nowhere, he had found it strange at the ti.
But never expected it to be Chen’s doing.
"Elder Zhan, shouldn’t you thank ? If it weren’t for my conjuring the thunder, you might not have been able to break through!"
"Hmm... now that you put it that way, it does seem right."
Zhan Tian thought for a mont, and it was indeed so, "Alright, then I won’t hassle you about it, getting struck happened, let it be."
He was just trying to scare Chen Xuan.
"Oh, so to break through you need to be struck by lightning!"
Liu Sheng suddenly showed a sly grin.
"Old thing, I feel like you’re insulting !"
Zhan Tian stared at him.
"Take out the ’feel like’ part! Hahaha..."
"Cough cough cough..."
But laughing too much strained his internal injuries, causing him to start coughing.
"Alright, alright, look at your frail state!"
Zhan Tian patted him on the back with his big hand, "Already so frail, still in the mood for this, you’ve barely recovered, don’t cough yourself to worse."
