Chapter 218 He's gotten arrogant!
hiss!
Lü Qinghong gasped.
What did he hear just now?
Xiao Bieli was only at the fifth level of the Thunder Tribulation before?
Like him?
And yet, he still managed to kill the leader of the Human Sect and the Sword God Dongfang Tian?
Moreover, the lightning tribulation he just saw didn't seem like the kind of lightning tribulation one should face at the sixth or seventh level of lightning tribulation.
If all the tribulations he faces in the future are this intense, how will he survive them?
"How should I address you, Master?" Xiao Bieli asked Shi Xian calmly.
"Is he a high-ranking monk from Vajra Temple or someone from Rotten Axe Temple?"
He had long sensed Shi Xian's presence, and if Shi Xian hadn't been without malice, he would have braved the tribulation lightning to kill him.
“Abbot Shi Xian of Jingang Temple,” Master Shi Xian began.
Lü Qinghong also quickly said:
"Young Master Xiao, I have come here with no ill intentions."
"I guessed that you might be undergoing tribulation here when I was in the desert. I came to tell you that a few days ago, a white-robed monk found His Majesty in the Imperial Garden. That monk was very skilled in martial arts, and even His Majesty was somewhat wary of him."
"Moreover, His Majesty is already preparing to take action against you. Currently, Xueyi Lou Bukong, Fengyou, and others are being hunted down. This time, unlike before, there are no elders in the palace who have reached the seventh level of the Thunder Tribulation."
"Even Jiangshan Pavilion is being targeted. If His Majesty gives the order, Jiangshan Pavilion will be reduced to ashes in an instant!"
Although His Majesty made many preparations, Xiao Bieli's rise to power was truly too mysterious.
In just a few years, someone has actually reached a point where they can kill two of the nine people who stole the fortune. It's probably not a good idea for His Majesty to become enemies with Xiao Bieli.
He was simply passing the message to Xiao Bieli. Xiao Bieli wasn't the type to gossip. If His Majesty won, he would be fine. If Xiao Bieli had the last laugh, he might be able to save his life.
"Oh?" Xiao Bieli became interested and looked at Lü Qinghong, saying indifferently:
Who is that monk?
"Eunuch Lü told me the news, aren't you afraid of your Emperor Qian?"
Lü Qinghong smiled wryly:
"I really don't want to be enemies with Young Master Xiao."
"I don't know who that person is either."
"However, I believe that Young Hero Xiao would not harm me. I came here only to form a good relationship with Young Hero Xiao."
"The locations of several of Zhuo Mu'er's top fighters have been pinpointed by the Eastern Depot, but please rest assured, Young Master Xiao, with me in Yanzhou, they will not be harmed. If necessary, I can have them quietly leave to find Zhuo Mu'er overseas, as long as they don't return to the Central Plains."
Master Shixian began to speak:
"It must be Master Xuanxiu!"
"The seventh abbot of Lankesi Temple!"
“When I was young, Xuanxiu guided me in cultivation. If it weren’t for his guidance, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Lü Qinghong quickly said:
"He looks very young."
“They are different from the leaders of the Human Sect.”
Master Shi Xian:
"He is a reincarnation in this life."
hiss!
Lü Qinghong gasped.
Having possessed so many bodies, how difficult is it to successfully reincarnate and break through the mystery of the womb? How did Xuanxiu manage to do it?
"What do you mean?"
"Those people are eyeing the fate of the world, and that emperor wants to join forces with them to deal with me first?"
Xiao Bieli frowned, but quickly relaxed and said coldly:
"It just so happens that I'm incredibly strong right now!"
"Let's have a go! I want to see who dies first!"
He has now consumed the Dragon Essence and survived two tribulations of lightning, making him incredibly powerful!
"Amitabha!" Master Shixian looked at Lü Qinghong and said, "His Majesty would not choose to join forces with them, would he?"
"If they want to reap the benefits of the world's fortune, His Majesty is someone they cannot bypass."
“Right now, they only harvest the world's fortune once every few hundred or even a thousand years. If we let them continue like this, and after they possess another body once or twice more, the difficulty of possession will become increasingly greater. I'm afraid they will only be able to harvest the world's fortune once every hundred years in the future!”
Lü Qinghong shook her head:
“I was expelled from the Imperial Garden that day, but after that day, His Majesty ordered a continued crackdown on the Blood-Clad Tower, and it was His Majesty’s confidants who carried it out.”
"I don't even know if His Majesty is in the palace!"
After speaking, Lü Qinghong cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Bieli and said:
"Young hero, please pretend you've never met me today. Farewell!"
"After I leave, it will be reported that the person undergoing tribulation deep in Yanzhou is suspected to be you. Please don't take offense."
Xiao Bieli raised his hand and said calmly:
"You're smarter than Emperor Qian. You'll be glad you made this choice later."
"Let's go!"
Lü Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Master Shixian, and then turned and left.
He was gambling just now, gambling that Xiao Bieli would spare his life!
Now... as long as His Majesty doesn't find out about his conversation with Xiao Bieli, he might be able to survive.
Xiao Bieli looked at Abbot Shixian and asked:
Why is the master in Yanzhou?
"Amitabha!" Master Shi Xian clasped his hands together in prayer.
"I was searching for traces of the nine people who seized the world's fortune. I found one of them in Yuanzhou before, but unfortunately he was too cunning and discovered my presence. I followed the clues all the way to Yanzhou, but I still couldn't catch him."
"I encountered Young Master Xiao undergoing his tribulation again. I waited here, wondering if he would be curious about who was undergoing the tribulation, but I didn't expect him to not show up at all."
Xiao Bieli:
"Celestial Venerable, Heavenly Demon Lord, Earthly Venerable, Human Sect Leader, Sword God Dongfang Tian, Huiming, and Xuanxiu—only seven people!"
Who were the last two people?
Master Shi Xian:
“‘Overlord Fist’ Duanmu Changfeng, ‘Hidden Dragon’ Ding Hong.”
"I have been investigating for many years, and Duanmu Changfeng should be dead, or he was killed by those who stole his luck."
"The person I've been looking for is Ding Hong."
"I once fought him in Yuanzhou. His martial arts were inferior to mine, but his ability to escape was first-rate. Although I severely injured him, I still couldn't subdue the demon with swift and decisive means!"
Xiao Bieli shook his head and said:
"If a master monk targets Ding Hong, it might provoke retaliation from others."
Master Shixian shook his head and said:
"If this great traitor is not killed, the world will never be at peace!"
"Once the fortune of the world is harvested, the dynasty will rapidly decline and the world will be in turmoil."
"Now there are dynasties that last for a thousand years, but in the future, they may only last for a hundred years!"
"Dynastic changes are inevitable, but a hundred years is too short. There is not enough time for recuperation and development. Only ordinary people suffer!"
"If I don't go to hell, who will? If I can get rid of one or two of them, at least they will need less luck, and perhaps they can prolong their lives for a while."
Xiao Bieli nodded:
"Then, Master, continue your investigation. If you find any news about Ding Hong but are not confident you can capture him, you can send someone to contact me!"
"I'll go and meet with the people from the imperial court first!"
"I'd like to see where Emperor Qian comes from with his confidence!"
