My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 644 - 213: Bestowing Death to the White Robe_2
Li He thundered in fury, "What are you trying to do?!"
Dressed in his Taoist robe, Emperor Longqing ignored him and drifted away in the bleak autumn wind, soon disappearing from view.
By the lake.
Only the eunuchs of the West Factory practicing the Incense Fire Divine Dao were left.
"Immortal Master Li."
Chamberlain Huang Hong stepped forward, explaining, "The great battle in Jiazhou is connected to the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein and cannot afford the slightest mistake. This is also what Shengyun Sect of Upper Sect intends. If there is anything, it would be best to wait until after the battle has concluded."
"What?"
Li He narrowed his eyes, "With so many people in the Great Sheng Dynasty, can only Chen Sansi be relied upon in a battle? You cripple, if you do not get out of my sight, do not blame me for being impolite!"
"Immortal Master Li."
Facing the insults, Huang Hong was not angry but simply bowed slightly, reminding him in a very polite tone, "This is not Daze Fang City. His Majesty has treated you with respect and has already given enough face to the Li family. If Immortal Master Li continues to be unreasonable, don't blame us for being unmerciful. As for Chen Sansi's matter, regardless of the outcome of the war, His Majesty will deal with it afterward."
"Well, an ordinary emperor dares to be so arrogant!"
Li He gritted his teeth.
If it were not for the sealing restrictions, his Li family would be able to annihilate the Imperial Family here with a wave of their hands!
But for now.
He looked at the Dragon Abyss Sword always hovering in front of him and could only choose to temporarily suppress his anger.
"Then I will wait!"
"Wait until the battle is over, and see what your Old Emperor has to say!"
"..."
Within Longevity Palace.
Emperor Longqing strode into the grand hall.
Servant Yan Liang was sitting on a stool.
"Did you hear everything?"
Emperor Longqing brushed his sleeve and sat down on the Dragon Chair, his eyes twitching slightly as an unexpressed fury of dragon might pulsed.
"Chen Sansi has indeed committed the crime of deceiving his sovereign."
The hoarse and aged voice of Yan Liang sounded, "He should have found a way into the Cultivation World through Sun Xiangzong a long time ago and acquired the 'Jingshen Fruit'. Moreover, with the 'Dragon Scripture' in hand, it won't be long before he reaches the True Power Realm. Once he does, given his Martial Arts skills, except for Your Majesty, I fear no one under the heavens can contain him."
"Why would Sansi deceive me when I sincerely care for him?"
Emperor Longqing closed his eyes, struggling to control his tone, "Externally, I need to safeguard our nation against 'Immortals', and internally, I still have to watch out for servants deceiving and undermining me!"
"Your Majesty, calm your anger."
Yan Liang advised, "Your Majesty is a body of a Saint, Emperor Wan Shou, bearing the burden of the Great Sheng Dynasty's Capital City and Thirty-Six States on your shoulders. If not for you, this land would have collapsed long ago, so it's natural to feel the weight."
"Enough, there's no need for such flattering words between you and me."
Emperor Longqing inquired, "Thinking of how Chen Sansi has deceived his sovereign, what do you think would be an appropriate way to deal with him?"
"With a great enemy before us, if we act against the Commander now, it could have an immeasurable impact on the morale at the front. Moreover, with the current tense situation in battle, it's better to put this matter on hold for now."
After pondering, Yan Liang said, "For now, let Chen Sansi continue commanding at the front. If he can recapture Mang Mountain, we'll summon him to Capital City to face the court. If he loses, it will be a good opportunity to hold him accountable."
"What is the situation at the front?" Emperor Longqing asked.
"News came early this morning," Yan Liang replied. "The 'Military Immortal' Han Xiang, summoned by West Qi, and Chen Sansi are evenly matched outside Cloud Top Prefecture, with neither side achieving victory, and they are still at a stalemate."
"Evenly matched?"
Emperor Longqing's pupils darkened, "Neither victorious nor defeated, yet they are evenly matched?"
"Your Majesty means..."
Yan Liang respectfully said, "Do you suspect that Chen Sansi is deliberately not deciding on a victor to delay time, waiting to open all Jingshens and break through Above Martial Saint?
"The servant also finds it strange."
"Logically, with both sides engaged in a great battle on a plain, how could it be possible that both remain largely unharmed?
"Of course, it could also be that the two are indeed 'matched well,' unable to determine a victor."
"To discern which situation it is."
"The servant believes that a military order should be issued to him to decide the victor as soon as possible, to see how he will act."
"Hmm."
After a silent consent, Emperor Longqing added, "If he truly can't win, then arrange for contact with 'Luoye Valley' behind West Qi. I will not be controlled by any sect, not even Shengyun Sect."
"The servant, acknowledges the decree."
...
Cloud Top Prefecture.
In the wilderness.
Chen Sansi was wielding the Longdan Bright Silver Spear, absorbing spiritual energy with the Fire Breathing Technique, and with the enhancement of the 'Dragon Scripture,' the gods within his body were awakening step by step in refinement, until a flash of spirit light suddenly crossed the surface of his skin.
Jingshen, Skin God!
Tong Zhong, Taoist name Dao Lian, one inch and one part tall, yellow dressed!
[Cultivation Technique: Dragon Scripture (entry-level)]
[Progress: 37/100]
Since retreating to Cloud Top Prefecture, another month had passed, and he practiced day and night, hoping to break through to the True Power Realm a bit sooner.
Both sides.
There might still be reinforcements coming, Above Martial Saint in combat power.
Only by enhancing his own strength could he gain a greater chance of winning.
Battle in the wilderness.
Chen Sansi had also exposed his storage bag and talisman, and with Daze Fang possibly bringing a warrant to the Divine Continent, the court might be aware of his visit to the Cultivation World.
But some things.
Could never be hidden.
Because he would not stop cultivating.
One day.
When he breaks through to the True Power Realm, or even higher, how would he explain where his heavenly materials and earthly treasures came from?
Certainly not all picked up?
There will come a time when explanations won't hold.
And that day won't be too far away.
