Lu Tiezui bowed and raised his hands: "Yes, he did get out of trouble, but I didn't expect that he would use force to break through the city, break through the ten-mile blockade, and reach Taiyue."
A strange light flashed in Emperor Ping's deep eyes.
"In the most unexpected way indeed."
Lu Tiezui sighed: "Everyone thinks it is a secret method."
"Secret method...what do you think?"
Lu Tiezui pondered for a long time and then said: "There is no mysterious method in the world that can make a person break through from a great master to an earthly immortal in an instant. Considering his fatigue after the war, it must be a secret method. However, this secret method is too amazing. One against a thousand..."
Emperor Ping was noncommittal: "Tell me in detail."
Lu Tiezui gathered his thoughts and slowly recounted the story.
Emperor Ping's expression became more and more strange: "Tao Zun... the God of Medicine... the Literary Sage..."
Lu Tiezui said with emotion: "Yes, this shows that King Zhenxi must have a close relationship with these legendary figures."
Ping Huang said: "What kind of connection do you think it will be?"
Lu Tiezui pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's hard to say. Apart from the fact that Daozi's story has been spread secretly, it's really hard to speculate on Old Immortal Sun and Old Master Yan. However, Old Immortal Sun has been away from the world for a long time, and it seems that only King Zhenxi can find him. In addition... "
He hesitated and said: "The King of Zhenxi's medical skills are amazing. It seems that the only person with such medical skills in the world is Mr. Sun..."
Emperor Ping's eyes moved slightly: "You mean, he might be Sun's old disciple?"
Lu Tiezui said: "Even if it's not, I'm afraid it's closely related."
Emperor Ping nodded slightly: "Continue."
Lu Tiezui said: "As for Master Yan, he probably admired his literary skills. Jiang Fan once went to Wenqiu and made friends with Master Yan through literature. He wrote masterpieces such as Shi Shuo, which won Master's praise. However, Master Yan was the leader of Confucianism and Taoism, so he never liked it. There shouldn't be too much connection between the empress respecting the law and abandoning Confucianism, and my subordinates speculate that some exchanges were made."
Ping Huang said: "Then, do you think that he was forced to show off his methods this time, or was it intentional?"
Lu Tiezui said: "It should be both. This time is indeed extremely dangerous. I am afraid that no one in the world can escape safely under such a siege. Therefore, I have to show my methods. At the same time, my subordinates believe that there is also intentional element. He displays many strange tricks, or to make others afraid..."
Emperor Ping nodded slightly: "There is some truth to it... However, the most mysterious thing is undoubtedly the secret method of soaring his power. I have never heard of such methods."
"Yes, I was observing secretly, but I didn't have the slightest clue. I had never even heard of such magic. It shouldn't be possible. With one against a thousand, there is no possibility at all..."
"One against a thousand?" Emperor Ping shook his head calmly: "As you said, there are only a few strong assassins among the first batch of assassins, and the rest are no better than the masters. Someone must have done it deliberately."
"So, is it possible that someone is deliberately testing his background?"
Emperor Ping thought: "Although I have never seen it, as you said, the interception was divided into three groups. Inside the city, the ten saints, and the final double formation. Have you ever thought about why they didn't swarm up in one fell swoop, even if they were immortals? I’m afraid God can’t resist it either.”
Lu Tiezui suddenly showed a thoughtful expression: "...Yes, but this time, the Feng family should be in charge. Does Feng Chen have an ulterior motive?"
"Three possibilities." Pinghuang said slowly: "First, Fengchen is worried that he has a back-up plan. After all, this person has never traveled so boldly, and he is worried that if he swarms up, he will play into his hands and be killed."
Lu Tiezui seemed to have some realization: "Indeed, this person has always acted cautiously and his methods are unpredictable..."
Ping Huang said: "Or maybe Feng Chen knows that he has some unnatural means, and a missed attack will create an opportunity for him to escape in one fell swoop. Therefore, a more secure method must be arranged."
Lu Tiezui frowned: "So, maybe Fengchen wants to draw out his methods, then consume him, and finally kill him?"
Emperor Ping nodded: "It is indeed more secure."
Lu Tiezui said: "Then, Fengchen's three batches of interceptions were actually arranged on the way to Taiyue, which shows that he thought that Jiang Fan would take this route."
Emperor Ping was silent for a moment and said slowly: "This is indeed the safest way, but Fengchen... probably also hopes that he will take this path."
Lu Tiezui was stunned: "Why?"
Emperor Ping shook his head: "Maybe I want to show it to others."
Lu Tiezui was puzzled: "Why? Who does he want to show it to? What to see? To see Jiang Fan's backhand?"
Emperor Ping was silent for a long time and shook his head slightly: "There are too many possibilities... I am afraid that only Feng Chen himself knows the truth."
After that, he sighed slowly: "Now, it's time to go up the mountain."
Lu Tiezui said: "The prince has been ordered to open the palace gate to welcome you."
Emperor Ping showed an inexplicable meaning: "He... I'm afraid... he's very happy."
Lu Tiezui was stunned for a moment, but did not say a word.
Emperor Ping looked up at the cave ceiling, which was inlaid with luminous pearls like stars, and said softly: "The rain is about to come..."
After a moment of silence, his eyes turned to Lu Tiezui: "Go, clean up, and find a way to follow that kid."
Lu Tiezui looked shocked: "Your Majesty... you..."
Emperor Ping said calmly: "That's the order, but don't contact me. You can't hide it from him."
Lu Tiezui was a little confused: "Then, what does it mean for my subordinates to follow him?"
Emperor Ping's eyes were distant: "When the time comes, it will naturally be useful."
Lu Tiezui lowered his head and cupped his hands: "In compliance with the order——"
But in his lowered eyes, which were covered by his hands, there was a hint of strange light...
After Lu Tiezui left, Pinghuang closed his eyes for a long time, opened his eyes again, took out a small box from under his robe, and slowly opened it. There were some white fragments inside.
Emperor Ping picked up a piece and stared at it for a long time, his eyes filled with confusion.
"This is obviously... your remains... why..."
"Why..." Yao Chen covered his abdomen, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the group of swordsmen in green clothes in front of him. Behind him, there were also dozens of assassins with extremely angry and confused faces.
The leaders were actually brothers Mo Li Qing and Mo Li Hong.
Mo Liqing's face was as gloomy as water: "Why... why are you such useless people! With such a battle, you actually failed to capture the thief."
Mo Lihong also had a stern look on his face: "Since you are a waste, you can only die."
Yao Chen roared angrily: "We have fought with all our strength, you have all seen it, Taihua, you shouldn't treat us like this..."
Mo Liqing sneered: "If you fail to complete your mission to the Holy Land, you'd better commit suicide and apologize."
Yao Chen laughed maniacally, with a vicious voice: "Mission to the Holy Land... what a Holy Land! I understand now that the reason why you used me is to prevent Taihua from being exposed. Now that things have failed, you will silence me. How cruel." Holy place!”
Mo Lihong sneered: "It's useless to talk about people who are about to die. Kill them for me and leave no one behind!"
The swordsmen in green clothes behind him immediately surrounded him in silence.
Covered in blood, Yao Chen laughed wildly and suddenly roared: "Taihua! I am incompatible with you -!"
