Martial Arts: Signing in for sixty years, I, the leader of the Azure Dragon Society

Page 189

Just as Lin Xian'er was about to firmly refuse, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen gave her no further chance. The black energy surged and instantly swallowed her up. When the mist dissipated, only a withered corpse remained on the ground.

"The 'Sea Treasure Anomaly' actually has a successor?" Demon Lord Bai Suzhen chuckled, turning her head to look at Hei Tong. "Would you like to meet this successor?"

Having said that, she was about to leave with Black Eyes and Snow Damo.

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Yuyan suddenly spoke up.

The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen did not reveal her identity, but Jiang Yuyan had already guessed her origin from Ximen Yu's few words.

"There are still people in this world who recognize me?" Demon Lord Bai Suzhen turned around and stared intently.

"I am Jiang Yuyan, and I have only one question to ask—where exactly are the real Lin Shiyin and the Unwavering Devotion Pill?"

Jiang Yuyan and Zhang Sanfeng are on a heavy mission this time, vowing to completely destroy the Unwavering Devotion Pill. Anything that poses a threat to Ximen Yu must not be allowed to exist!

Chapter 139 Pill

Previously, A Qiao impersonated Ximen Yu, leading everyone to believe that the elixir had been destroyed. But now that Lin Shiyin is an imposter, the destroyed elixir must also be a forgery.

"Why should I tell you?" Demon Lord Bai Suzhen's eyes were cold.

"My love for Dan and Lin Shiyin remains unchanged; I am determined to have them."

Knowing that the goal still exists, how could she easily give up?

"How about we make a deal?" Jiang Yuyan suggested.

"Oh? Tell me about it." The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen said with great interest.

"But what else in this world do you think could move my heart?"

As an unparalleled powerhouse on par with the god of immortality, there are probably very few pieces of news in the world that can concern her.

"This news will absolutely surprise you." Jiang Yuyan stepped forward slowly, leaned close to the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen's ear, and whispered a secret.

"Is this true?"

The usually calm and collected Demon Lord Bai Suzhen suddenly trembled slightly.

The black mist surrounding her surged violently, causing Black Eyes and Snow Daruma beside her to exchange astonished glances.

They had never seen the Demon Lord so out of control.

"These are the words of the master of the house; it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false."

Jiang Yuyan casually spread her hands, neither confirming nor denying the veracity of the news.

"Take me to see your master."

The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen was in turmoil at the moment, and even put aside the search for Lin Shiyin for the time being.

"I'm afraid not."

Jiang Yuyan looked up at the sky, her face showing difficulty.

"The Demon Lord should know about the opening of the Sword Realm the other day."

"The master of the house is quite interested in the world of swords and has already gone there."

"We have now lost contact with our owner."

At this point, Jiang Yuyan's expression sombered.

"What should we do...?"

The usually decisive Demon Lord Bai Suzhen was now somewhat at a loss.

"Actually, we've been waiting for all these years."

"Since you have been reincarnated, there is no need to rush."

"Once the master of the house returns, I will immediately have him confirm with you how it is."

Jiang Yuyan knew she couldn't control Ximen Yu, so her immediate priority was to appease the Demon Lord.

After pondering for a long time, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen finally let out a long sigh.

"The matter between Lin Shiyin and the Unwavering Devotion Pill shall be dropped."

"The message is given to you."

"Lin Shiyin is still in the hands of the owner of Deyuelou. This person is skilled in using 'Sea Treasure Anomaly', that's all I know."

"Black Eyes, Daruma, let's go."

The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen lost interest and actually gave up searching for Lin Shiyin, her figure suddenly disappearing.

Black Eyes and Snow Damo looked at each other, completely bewildered by what Jiang Yuyan had said.

"What exactly did you say to the Demon Lord just now?"

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Kurohime finally asked.

"This is your Demon Lord's private matter. Are you sure you want to know?"

Jiang Yuyan looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

"That's all..."

Black Eyes immediately fell silent upon hearing this.

"Bodhidharma, let's go."

The two nodded in acknowledgment, and then their figures disappeared.

"Phew, this woman is truly terrifying."

After the three left, the Water God Ancestor breathed a long sigh of relief.

The pressure from the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen was too much for the Water God Ancestor to bear.

"Miss Yu Yan, what exactly did you say to the Demon Lord?" Zhang Sanfeng asked, voicing the question on everyone's mind.

It is indeed rare for something to cause the Demon Lord to lose his composure like this.

"It's best not to ask any more questions about this matter."

"I only overheard a few words when I was serving my master, and I don't know if they're true or not." Jiang Yuyan smiled faintly, her eyes revealing a longing for the past.

How pleasant was the time spent with Ximen Yu, when all he had to do was serve his master.

Ximen Yu always reveals some secrets of the martial arts world, as if he has everything under control.

Inside the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng was listening to a report.

Is this really true?

Although the Ming Dynasty was far from the Qin Dynasty, Zichu and his companions were highly skilled and returned to Xianyang Palace in less than a day.

Upon hearing that Ximen Yu might be in danger, Ying Zheng's expression became complicated.

"Zheng'er, the most urgent task is to confirm whether Ximen Yu is truly not in the Azure Dragon Society," Zichu said solemnly.

"Grandfather, Ximen Yu's whereabouts have always been unpredictable," Fusu calmly analyzed. "Even though he's mentioned many times on the Heavenly List, very few people have actually seen him."

"I have met that 'Guiguzi' within the Qin territory who terrified everyone once."

"The Azure Dragon Society has branches all over the land, but very few of them have actually become leaders."

"How can we confirm whether he is here or not?"

This difficult problem caused everyone present to fall into deep thought.

Ying Zheng smiled calmly: "This matter is extremely simple."

"Please enlighten us, Your Majesty." The ministers listened respectfully.

"Although the location of the Azure Dragon Society's headquarters is unknown, there are clues about its peripheral forces."

"The Yihua Palace within the Tang Dynasty, the Huashan Sect within the Ming Dynasty..."

"Weren't the Han, Ming, Song, Sui, and Qing dynasties all their henchmen?"

"Since we can't find the main body of the Azure Dragon Society, let's chop off these henchmen first."

"I want to see if the Azure Dragon Society dares to stand idly by!"

"Your Majesty is holy."

The entire court of civil and military officials praised it in unison.

"But... Your Majesty, if we really take action against these peripheral forces, it might provoke a fierce counterattack from the Azure Dragon Society!"

Zhao Gao, who was in charge of the Luowang organization, knew a great deal about the past events between the Tang Dynasty and the Yihua Palace.

"In the past, the Bad Guys were almost completely wiped out in the struggle to seize the Mingyu Gong. The lessons of the past are still fresh in our minds."

"Your Majesty, please reconsider..."

Upon hearing this, many ministers echoed his sentiments.

Bai Qi let out a sharp shout.

"If Ximen Yu is truly not in the Azure Dragon Society, now is the best time to clip his wings, or even completely wipe them out."

"Indecisiveness will inevitably lead to harm!"

"Your Majesty, I request to immediately lead the Qin cavalry to crush the Han Dynasty!"

The closest country to the Qin Dynasty was the Han Dynasty.

"This humble general is willing to follow!"

The generals of Bai Qi's faction unanimously requested to fight.

Ying Zheng glanced coldly at Zhao Gao, a hint of murderous intent flickering within him.

Zhao Gao trembled and immediately prostrated himself on the ground.

"Your Majesty... deserves to die a thousand deaths..."

"Go and receive your punishment. How dare a mere eunuch presume to discuss national policy?"

Ying Zheng spoke indifferently.

Zhao Gao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of the suffering he would endure, he secretly groaned.

"However, now is not the best time to send troops directly."

After dealing with Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng changed the subject...

Whether Ximen Yu is truly not in the Azure Dragon Society remains unknown.

"If he is only temporarily unable to show himself, then if our Great Qin rashly attacks Han, it will be a complete break with the Azure Dragon Society."

"The price is too high."

"Then how should we deal with it?"

The ministers all agreed that this statement made sense.

The Green Dragon Society's fearsome reputation instilled terror in many.

"The imperial court and its directly subordinate forces are not allowed to directly attack the Azure Dragon Society and its affiliates."

"Net of Shadows, Black Ice Platform, activate the hidden stakes immediately."

"Incite those forces that openly oppose our Great Qin to tear apart the Azure Dragon Society."

"Brilliant! This plan kills two birds with one stone!"

Zichu was the first to clap his hands in praise.

On the surface, once the forces opposing the Qin Dynasty take action, it doesn't matter whether Ximen Yu is present or not, or when he returns.

This debt cannot be attributed to the Qin Dynasty.

This way, one can avoid becoming the target of public criticism.

It was indeed a move to alert the enemy.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Shang Yang also praised it,

"The brilliance of this plan lies in the fact that it can not only determine Ximen Yu's whereabouts by observing the Azure Dragon Society's reaction."
