"Li Chengtian...interesting."
A playful smile played on his lips, a smile that reflected both admiration for a formidable opponent and a yearning for unknown challenges.
"Since Li Changsheng has been defeated, then I, Yushengmo, will personally meet this Emperor of Daqing."
"As long as I can defeat Li Chengtian, I will still be the number one in the world!"
Upon hearing this, the envoy's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated before speaking.
He knew Yu Shengmo's personality all too well; once this demon of the Southern Martial Arts world decided to do something, no one could stop him.
But considering Li Chengtian's terrifying strength, he couldn't help but remind him, "Sir, Li Chengtian's strength is unfathomable, you..."
"It doesn't matter."
Yu Shengmo interrupted him, turning and walking deeper into the secret chamber. "Strength is always improved through challenges. I, Yu Shengmo, was born to be the number one in the world!"
……
Heaven and earth.
The Venerable Envoy Wuzuo has returned to the headquarters of the Outer Heavens.
He personally met with the Venerable Wuxiang, who was temporarily taking charge of the situation in Yuefeng City.
After the two Venerable Wuzuo recounted the whole story, Venerable Wuxiang's face turned ashen, and he remained speechless for a long time.
"Venerable Wuxiang," the two Venerable Wuzuo knelt on one knee and bowed to Venerable Wuxiang, saying, "Li Chengtian's strength is extraordinary. The Daqing army is invincible and undefeated."
We can really surrender to Daqing, then we can all go home!
"Shut up!" Venerable Wuxiang shouted angrily, interrupting Venerable Wuzuo.
He naturally wanted to go home too.
But he prefers his current rights to going home.
During the years that Yuefeng City was away in seclusion, he was the supreme ruler of this place.
They get whatever they want, whether it's wind or rain.
If he were to submit to Li Chengtian, he would certainly no longer be the king of Yuefeng City once he emerged from seclusion.
Now, he is more concerned about keeping the power in his hands from falling into other hands.
Just then, Yueqing happened to pass by and overheard their conversation.
Without saying a word, she walked in and asked Venerable Wuzuo, "Venerable Wuzuo, is what you said true? Can that man named Li Chengtian really save my father? Can he really take us home?"
A glimmer of hope shone in Yueqing's eyes, a light that seemed to pierce through all gloom and shine directly into people's hearts.
Looking at Yueqing, Wuzuo Zunshi felt a complex mix of emotions, including sympathy for Yueqing and a firm conviction in his own choice.
“Miss Yueqing, everything I have said is true.”
The Venerable Envoy spoke sincerely, without any concealment, "His Majesty Li Chengtian is exceptionally powerful, and his Daqing Kingdom army is invincible."
He promised to lead us, the remnants of the Northern Kingdom, away from this frigid land and back to our homeland.
Upon hearing this, Yueqing clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, as if trying to suppress her excitement and unease.
"But... the Formless Venerable made him..."
She looked hesitantly at the Venerable Envoy Wuxiang, her eyes filled with both expectation and doubt.
Seeing this, the Venerable Wuxiang's face darkened even more. He snorted coldly and interrupted Yueqing's words: "Yueqing, you are still young and do not understand the dangers of the world."
Li Chengtian is merely using us to achieve his own ambitions. If we easily submit, we will only become his pawns.
“But Venerable Envoy Wuxiang, how many years have we lived here? Day after day of cold and loneliness, do you still wish for such a life to continue?”
Yueqing's voice trembled slightly, a complex emotion born from despair for the present and longing for the future.
The Venerable Wuxiang remained silent for a moment, knowing that Yueqing's words had touched the hearts of everyone present.
But the allure of power and status made it difficult for him to make a decision easily.
He slowly stood up, his piercing gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on the Venerable Wuzuo.
"Wu Zuo, are you sure Li Chengtian will really keep his promise?" Wu Xiang Zun Shi's voice was deep and powerful, revealing an unquestionable authority.
Wu Zuo Zunshi took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "I guarantee with my life that His Majesty Li Chengtian is not a man of his word."
If he truly wanted to use us, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths. Besides, Princess Yueyao has already decided to submit to him and has personally gone to Daqing to seek help.
Mentioning Yueyao, the expression on Wuxiang Venerable's face softened slightly.
He had watched Yueyao grow up, and her decision undoubtedly had a certain impact on the Venerable Envoy Wuxiang.
But years of political maneuvering have made him unwilling to easily trust anyone, let alone make any decisions.
"This matter is of great importance; please allow me to consider it further."
After the Venerable Wuxiang finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Yueqing suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
"Venerable Envoy Wuxiang, please reconsider! We cannot continue like this. For Father's sake, for the future of Beique, please give us a chance!"
Yueqing's voice was choked with sobs, a mixture of helplessness at the present situation and an urgent longing for the future.
The Venerable Wuxiang stopped and looked back at Yueqing's expectant eyes, feeling a surge of emotion.
He sighed softly, as if he had made a decision at that moment.
"Alright, I'll send someone to Daqing to investigate. If Li Chengtian can truly keep his promise, then we'll make further plans."
The words of the Venerable Wuxiang carried a subtle hint of compromise and expectation.
Upon hearing this, Yueqing's eyes flashed with surprise and gratitude.
She knew this was the biggest concession the Venerable Wuxiang could make... She quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Venerable Wuxiang! Yueqing will do her utmost to make this happen!"
After the Venerable Wuxiang left, the council hall fell silent again.
Yueqing looked at the Venerable Envoy Wuzuo and asked, "Venerable Envoy Wuzuo, has my sister really sided with Li Chengtian?"
“Yes,” Venerable Wuzuo replied, “She has now also become a disciple of Master Li’s student, Young Master Liu Yue, at the Jixia Academy. However, Second Miss, you don’t need to worry.”
"Young Miss will not betray Bei Que, and she also believes that His Majesty Li Chengtian will definitely help us fulfill the long-cherished wish of our Bei Que clan!"
"Is Li Chengtian really that powerful?" Yueqing asked curiously.
Just then, the two envoys, Wu Fa Wu Tian and Wu Fa Wu Tian, who had been seriously injured by Li Cheng Tian, also entered.
They were of different heights, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin.
When he heard Yueqing and Wuzuo talking about Li Chengtian, the Unfazun Envoy said directly, "This Li Chengtian is simply inhuman! His strength is terrifying; he has even reduced our cultivation levels."
Envoy Wuzuo was taken aback and immediately began to scrutinize Envoys Wufa and Wutian.
Only then did they realize that these two were not even at the Vajra Mortal Realm; they were merely seventh-grade martial artists, slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Wu Zuo was immediately horrified, but fortunately he was sensible enough to submit in time.
Otherwise, the two of them might suffer a significant decline in their cultivation level, just like the lawless ones, and find it difficult to survive in this world anymore.
"Wu Zuo, does Li Chengtian really intend to recruit our Tianwaitian under his command?" Venerable Wutian asked.
Envoy Wuzuo nodded and replied solemnly, "Yes, His Majesty Li Chengtian does indeed intend to bring our Tianwaitian under his control and has promised to help us leave this extremely cold land and return to our homeland."
Upon hearing this, the Venerable Wutian frowned, clearly harboring doubts about the proposal. "But we, the Outer Heavens, have been independent for many years. If we were to submit, wouldn't we be subject to their control?"
“This is also what I’m worried about,” Venerable Wuzuo sighed. “But Li Chengtian’s strength is obvious to all; even a master like Li Changsheng was defeated by him.”
Moreover, the conditions he promised were far too tempting for us, the remnants of the Northern Kingdom.
"But what about Venerable Wuxiang..." Venerable Wufa hesitated before speaking, clearly aware of Venerable Wuxiang's attitude.
“The Venerable Envoy Wuxiang has his own considerations.”
Wuzuo Zunshi interrupted Wufa, "But you are also aware of our situation. This extremely cold place is resource-scarce and life is difficult. If there is a real opportunity to leave, it might not be a bad thing."
Yueqing listened quietly to the sound, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She both hoped that her father could be saved and that the Beique clan could return to their homeland, yet she also felt fear and unease about the unknown future.
"So what should we do now?" asked the Unruly Envoy, his tone tinged with urgency.
"Wait."
Wuzuo Zunshi gave a simple answer: "We await Wuxiang Zunshi's decision, and also Li Chengtian's sincerity. What we can do now is to remain vigilant and be prepared to deal with any possible changes."
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
A disciple rushed into the council hall and reported nervously, "The Venerable Envoy Wuxiang has ordered that all high-ranking officials be summoned to the main hall immediately for a meeting!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious.
Wuzuo Venerable Envoy exchanged a glance with Wufa and Wutian Venerable Envoy, then stood up and followed his disciple to the main hall.
The atmosphere inside the main hall was solemn and tense.
The Venerable Wuxiang sat on the high platform, his face gloomy, his piercing gaze sweeping over the crowd below.
"Gentlemen, I have made a decision regarding Li Chengtian's proposal."
The Venerable Wuxiang spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful, "I will personally go to Daqing to investigate Li Chengtian's true intentions and strength."
As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room suddenly exploded.
